Celltrion (068270 KS ) 3Q18 review: Tailwinds remain

Healthcare 3Q18 review: Earnings widely miss expectations Results Comment For 3Q18, Celltrion reported consolidated revenue of W231.1bn (-0.4% YoY) and operating profit of W73.6bn (-44.2% YoY), missing our expectations and the consensus November 12, 2018 by a wide margin. Revenue was weaker than expected, affected by a roughly 15% price cut on Truxima supplies to Celltrion Healthcare. Still, we believe overall revenue held up well, given that there were no Remsima sales in the quarter and that Herzuma only accounted for 2% of revenue. (Maintain) Buy Margin erosion was attributable to: 1) the suspension of the company’s no. 1 plant due to a 50,000-liter capacity expansion; 2) higher expenses related to patent litigations for Target Price (12M, W) ▼ 335,000 the prompt US release of Truxima and Herzuma; and 3) increased R&D expenses stemming from the Financial Supervisory Service’s (FSS) guidelines on the accounting Share Price (11/09/18, W) 229,500 treatment of R&D expenses by pharmaceutical/biotech firms. A number of tailwinds remain Expected Return 46% While the latest results were indeed disappointing, we still see a number of tailwinds ahead. First, we expect Truxima and Herzuma to gain US approval by the end of the year. Truxima is particularly worth watching, as the US FDA’s Oncologic Drugs Advisory OP (18F, Wbn) 401 Committee unanimously voted 16-0 to recommend the approval of the biosimilar in Consensus OP (18F, Wbn) 507 October. In addition, rival Sandoz recently abandoned plans to seek the US approval of its Rituxan biosimilar Rixathon, which should enable Truxima to benefit from a first- EPS Growth (18F, %) -25.5 mover advantage in the US. Second, we believe the company will file for European Market EPS Growth (18F, %) 11.3 approval of Remsima SC, the subcutaneous version of Remsima, by the end of the year. P/E (18F, x) 96.4 Data presented at academic meetings show the subcutaneous version is comparable Market P/E (18F, x) 8.4 to the intravenous formulation, and we therefore believe the company’s Remsima KOSPI 2,086.09 portfolio is well-positioned to expand its market position. Lastly, there is a possibility that a third factory with capacity of 360,000 liters will be constructed. The company Market Cap (Wbn) 28,778 said last month that details have not yet been decided, but if announced, the plan will Shares Outstanding (mn) 125 likely trigger a re-rating in the company’s enterprise value and share price. Free Float (%) 66.6 Foreign Ownership (%) 19.8 Cut TP to W335,000, but maintain Buy Beta (12M) 1.10 We cut our target price on Celltrion to W335,000 (from W400,000), as we adjusted 52-Week Low 167,668 down our earnings estimates to reflect lower supply prices and higher expenses. Still, we maintain our Buy rating, as we believe: 1) the US approval of Truxima and Herzuma 52-Week High 373,500 and the announcement of a third plant will provide positive momentum to shares; 2) (%) 1M 6M 12M Truxima and Herzuma will continue to rapidly penetrate the European ma rket; and 3) Absolute -20.9 -11.4 36.9 the US market environment is turning increasingly favorable (e.g., the US FDA’s announcement of a Biosimilar Action Plan and growing calls for biosimilars from Relative -14.5 3.8 67.4 patient advocate groups).

Osstem Implant (048260 KQ) Earnings finally surprise to the upside

MedTech 3Q18 review: OP surprises to the upside Results Comment For 3Q18, Osstem Implant delivered revenue of W114bn (+14.5% YoY), in line with the consensus. Overall growth was driven by overseas revenue, which climbed 16.2% YoY. November 12, 2018 By region, revenue was up 10.9% YoY in China, 20.4% YoY in North America, and 48.1% YoY in Europe, and down 0.3% YoY in Asia. Domestic revenue was up 10.1% YoY.

Operating profit surprised to the upside, soaring 173.7% YoY to W12.2bn (OP margin of 10.7%). OP margin recovered to over 10% for the first time in eight quarters, driven by (Maintain) Buy overseas subsidiaries, which saw sharp margin improvements on the back of efforts to strengthen financial health and reduce SG&A expenses. At the net level, the company Target Price (12M, W) 64,000 reported a loss of W2.2bn, but this was primarily attributable to 1) F/X-related losses of W8.1bn (due to the lira and ruble) and 2) higher taxes as a result of parent profit Share Price (11/09/18, W) 43,350 growth. Asia’s no. 1 dental implant supplier; Watch for operating leverage effects Expected Return 48% 1) Tighter grip on Asia: Since 2006, Osstem Implant has generated 1.1 to 2.5 times the revenue of global leader Straumann in Asia (primarily Korea and China). In 2019, we expect Osstem Implant’s Asia revenue to expand 13.1% YoY (or +23.5% YoY, excluding OP (18F, Wbn) 39 Korea). In the maturing domestic market, we believe the company has been the Consensus OP (18F, Wbn) 33 biggest beneficiary of the dental implant co-payment rate cut. Overall, we see robust top-line growth continuing in 2019, led by overseas markets (+21.6% YoY), especially EPS Growth (18F, %) 76.3 Asia. Market EPS Growth (18F, %) 11.3 P/E (18F, x) 34.8 2) Operating leverage effects: For Osstem Implant, operating leverage is critical Market P/E (18F, x) 8.4 because the company’s business strategy involves heavy investments in fixed assets. KOSDAQ 687.29 However, despite continued top-line growth, costs remained a source of concern. Since the earnings shock in 4Q17, the company has introduced a fairly conservative Market Cap (Wbn) 619 provisioning policy and tightened control over operations. As such, we believe one-off Shares Outstanding (mn) 14 expense pressures have now been largely removed. Free Float (%) 76.4 3) Poised to become total dental solutions provider: A notable trend in the global Foreign Ownership (%) 42.2 dental equipment market is that many companies are expanding across the value Beta (12M) 0.43 chain to provide total dental solutions. Osstem Implant already generates 28-30% of its 52-Week Low 41,700 revenue from products other than dental implants. In the same way that it expanded 52-Week High 74,900 its dental chair business into overseas markets, the company is likely to take its digital imaging equipment business overseas once it establishes a stable footing domestically (%) 1M 6M 12M (4Q18). Absolute -11.0 -19.0 -39.4 Maintain Buy and TP of W64,000 Relative -0.6 0.3 -37.4 We maintain our Buy rating and target price of W64,000 on Osstem Implant. Overseas 150 Osstem Implant KOSDAQ subsidiaries are continuing robust growth, and domestically, the company is 130 continuing to benefit strongly from the lower dental implant co-payment rate.

110 Furthermore, as costs related to overseas subsidiaries stabilize, we expect more meaningful operating leverage effects to materialize. 90

YG Entertainment (122870 KQ) Global platform revenue exhibits strong growth

3Q18 review: Parent and YouTube both better than expected Entertainment For 3Q18, YG Entertainment reported consolidated revenue of W65.2bn (-13.3% YoY) and operating profit of W2.6bn (+77.8% YoY). Operating profit fell short of our Results Comment estimate, which did not include content production losses (W1.7bn). Still, we believe the company performed in line with market expectations, considering the unfavorable November 12, 2018 earnings variables it faced in the quarter. Revenue from YouTube was also better than expected.

Despite a widely anticipated void in concerts, Seungri, iKON, and BLACKPINK made great strides in the quarter. In particular, 1) BLACKPINK’s success drove robust digital (Maintain) Buy music revenue (W14.1bn; -11.3% YoY). 2) In addition, revenue from YouTube, a key area of focus, grew strongly to more than W3bn, exceeding the 1H18 total. Even after excluding one-time revenue from G-Dragon’s documentary, YouTube revenue was Target Price (12M, W) 60,000 better than our expectation of W2bn. We believe domestic digital music sales, a relatively stable source of income, and global platform sales (YouTube ads, Apple Share Price (11/09/18, W) Music/Spotify licensing, etc.), a fast-growing source of income, will both continue to 36,200 make an increasing contribution to profits. Expected Return 66% 3) The content production business recorded a loss of W1.7bn (vs. loss of W10.1bn in 4Q17-2Q18), due to higher-than-expected fixed costs. Upcoming programs include YG Treasure Box and another new title for Netflix. We see risks of continued losses. 4) YG Plus remained in the black (operating profit of W0.9bn), supported by the recognition OP (18F, Wbn) 12 of music distribution revenue and smaller losses from Moonshot. Consensus OP (18F, Wbn) 12 BLACKPINK, iKON, and WINNER to become increasingly active EPS Growth (18F, %) -57.2 YG Entertainment’s resources and fan base are shifting toward the company’s next- Market EPS Growth (18F, %) 11.3 generation artists. iKON and WINNER are currently working on new content that will be P/E (18F, x) 90.9 released after their current world tours end. Meanwhile, BLACKPINK is also growing rapidly in terms of fan base and content development. Overall, we expect a reversal Market P/E (18F, x) 8.4 from the past couple of years, which were fraught with delays in artist comebacks. KOSDAQ 687.29 BLACKPINK recently released the schedule of its first world tour (eight performances so Market Cap (Wbn) 658 far confirmed) since its debut two years ago. It also looks highly likely that North Shares Outstanding (mn) 20 America will be added to the group’s world tour. In the meantime, the group’s th Free Float (%) 62.7 members will embark on solo projects, starting with Jennie on November 12 . This should allow the company to better leverage its partnership with Universal Music Foreign Ownership (%) 14.3 Group (more collaboration with global artists), increase the frequency of comebacks Beta (12M) 0.71 (more revenue from global platforms), and diversify concert setlists. We think frequent 52-Week Low 27,000 single releases are especially effective in creating music video content, which is key to expanding the global fan base and generating short-term buzz. 52-Week High 46,700 Retain Buy and TP of W60,000; New and existing revenue sources both look (%) 1M 6M 12M robust Absolute -12.1 29.5 20.1 We retain our Buy call and target price of W60,000 on YG Entertainment. The growing Relative -1.9 60.3 24.0 fan base of BLACKPINK, iKON, and WINNER, which have taken hold as the company’s core acts, is effectively translating into earnings (albums, digital music, concerts, etc.). 180 YG Entertainment KOSDAQ Revenue from global platforms, a key area of focus, also exceeded expectations in 160 3Q18. We believe the latest quarterly results confirm the company’s earnings variables 140 and growth variables are progressing smoothly. 120 We recommend aggressively overweighting YG Entertainment, with the year 2020 in 100 mind. The company’s artist lineup (including Big Bang) will become fully active in a year, and we believe the company has strong potential on global platforms. Newer 80 11.17 3.18 7.18 11.18 artists like BLACKPINK, iKON, and WINNER, which are rising fast in Korea and Japan, should meaningfully contribute to profits over the long term. We also think the company is favorably positioned to capitalize on the growing presence of global Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd. platforms.

Emart (139480 KS) 3Q18 review: Look toward the future

Retail 3Q18 review: In-line results Results Comment For 3Q18, Emart announced consolidated revenue of W4.73tr (+13.9% YoY) and operating profit of W194.6bn (-4.1% YoY; excluding China and duty-free November 12, 2018 operations), in line with the consensus and our projections. In 4Q18, we expect 1) the “Black EO” event (Emart’s version of Black Friday) to drive a pickup in hypermarkets, and 2) continued improvements in subsidiaries (Starbucks and Starfield) to partially offset the unfavorable comparison caused by the Chuseok (Maintain) Buy holiday (which fell in 3Q this year vs. 4Q last year). Hypermarket: Operating profit declined 16.9% YoY to W178bn, and same-store sales Target Price (12M, W) 320,000 (SSS) grew 1.3% YoY. Operating profit continued to contract, affected by: 1) increased expenses related to the minimum wage hike and 2) higher fixed costs (specialty store Share Price (11/09/18, W) 202,500 rollouts, taxes, etc.). We believe the November Black EO event will offset some of the unfavorable comparison related to Chuseok. Expected Return 58% Online: The online business recorded an operating loss of W4.9bn due to 1) the impact of holidays (online sales during holidays are 60-70% of those during weekdays) and 2) TV ad spending (W3.9bn). Losses should continue in 4Q18, as another W1.4bn will be OP (18F, Wbn) 556 spent on TV ads in the quarter. Consensus OP (18F, Wbn) 563 New growth engine to make up for hypermarket weakness EPS Growth (18F, %) -17.6 Looking to 2019, we believe any improvements in the hypermarket business will Market EPS Growth (18F, %) 11.3 continue to be limited, given 1) ongoing cost pressures related to the minimum wage P/E (18F, x) 11.1 hike and 2) the relative competitiveness of newer channels, such as online and Market P/E (18F, x) 8.4 convenience stores. However, following the establishment of a new online company in KOSPI 2,086.09 1Q19, the value of Emart’s online business should come into focus, and its online grocery market share should stabilize. With the online company serving as a new Market Cap (Wbn) 5,645 growth engine, we expect Emart’s share price to meaningfully recover. Shares Outstanding (mn) 28 While it remains unclear at this point what Emart’s equity share will be in the online Free Float (%) 71.9 company, we think it is likely the online company will become a consolidated Foreign Ownership (%) 48.8 subsidiary, considering 1) how important Emart’s logistics-driven online grocery Beta (12M) 0.61 competitiveness will be to the expansion of the new online company, and 2) the sheer 52-Week Low 188,000 revenue size of Emart’s spun-off online entity compared to ’s (W863.4bn for 52-Week High 317,500 Emart vs. W82.4bn for Shinsegae as of 2017).

(%) 1M 6M 12M Reaffirm Buy and TP of W320,000 Absolute -5.8 -21.2 -12.9 We reaffirm our Buy call and target price of W320,000 on Emart. While the unfavorable Relative 1.8 -7.7 6.5 comparison caused by Chuseok should be partially offset by the Black EO event in 4Q18, we believe any near-term share price recovery will be limited by 1) ongoing cost 150 Emart KOSPI pressures related to minimum wage hikes and specialty store rollouts and 2) continued

130 online losses.

110 However, we look for a meaningful rebound in 2019, as 1) the company should expand its online grocery market share, and 2) the value of the online business should come 90 into focus after the establishment of the new online company. We recommend that

70 investors focus on new growth momentum rather than near-term weakness. 11.17 3.18 7.18 11.18

Hyundai Department Store (069960 KS) 3Q18 review: Stronger-than-expected results

Retail 3Q18 review: Stronger-than-expected results For 3Q18, Hyundai Department Store (HDS) reported revenue of W437bn (+3.5% YoY) Results Comment and operating profit of W79.9bn (+14.9% YoY), beating our expectations and the November 9, 2018 consensus. Despite higher expenses related to the duty-free business, the company performed better than expected, thanks to 1) operating profit growth in department stores due to increased floor space and 2) Chuseok holiday effects. Department store: Same-store sales (SSS) grew 3.8%. Earnings were driven by 1) top- (Maintain) line growth, especially in the luxury goods and home categories, and 2) Chuseok Buy holiday effects. Looking to 4Q18, we expect solid earnings to continue, supported by 1) increased floor space following the renovations of the Cheonho store and Gimpo Target Price (12M, W) 125,000 outlet, 2) strong sales of winter apparel due to the recent cold weather, and 3) ongoing cost savings (ad/promotional expense savings: W30bn targeted in 2018 vs. W15-20bn expected in 2019). Share Price (11/09/18, W) 87,400 Duty-free: HDS’s new duty-free store had its grand opening on November 1st. The store Expected Return 43% features around 360 brands, with 70% opened so far. The company spent W9.5bn (ads, etc.) on the store’s opening in 3Q18 (vs. W3.6bn in 2Q18). With spending (travel agent commissions, etc.) likely to continue during the store’s initial operation, we believe losses will be inevitable in 2018 and 2019. OP (18F, Wbn) 378 Consensus OP (18F, Wbn) 372 Near-term weakness in duty-free to be offset by department store business We believe uncertainties surrounding the duty-free business have increased due to 1) EPS Growth (18F, %) -1.8 intensifying competition in the Gangnam area and 2) a potential slowdown in sales Market EPS Growth (18F, %) 11.3 from daigou (unofficial Chinese shopping agents). The duty-free business will likely be P/E (18F, x) 8.2 unable to avoid losses in 2018 and 2019 as it goes through the initial stages of operation. In 2019, we project duty-free losses of W20.1bn (gross revenue of W630bn). Market P/E (18F, x) 8.4 KOSPI 2,086.09 However, we believe this will be fully offset by the department store business, which should deliver operating profit growth in 2019 on the back of the floor space expansion Market Cap (Wbn) 2,045 undertaken this year. In 2019, the overall department store industry should see Shares Outstanding (mn) 23 operating profit growth moderate amid 1) a potential slowdown in the home category as a result of fewer apartment move-ins, and 2) an unfavorable comparison caused by Free Float (%) 60.3 cost-saving effects. However, we expect HDS’s 2019 department store operating profit Foreign Ownership (%) 29.0 to grow in line with this year’s level, driven by increased floor space (the Cheonho Beta (12M) 0.93 branch and Gimpo outlet were reopened in November and August, respectively, 52-Week Low 84,200 following renovations). 52-Week High 119,500 Reiterate Buy and TP of W125,000

(%) 1M 6M 12M We reiterate our Buy rating and target price of W125,000 on HDS. While the duty-free business is likely to suffer operating losses in 2018 and 2019 due to intensifying Absolute -6.8 -14.3 -5.0 competition in the Gangnam area and a potential slowdown in daigou sales, we believe Relative 0.7 0.4 16.2 this will be fully offset by operating profit growth at the department store business, driven by floor space expansion. 150 Hyundai Department Store KOSPI In the near term, the stock could come under pressure due to heightened duty-free 130 uncertainties. However, we believe the stock will stage a meaningful recovery in 2019,

110 given that: 1) Chinese tourists to Korea are rapidly normalizing; 2) the duty-free store business looks likely to attract some top luxury brands in the near future; and 3) floor 90 space expansion in department stores should drive operating leverage effects next year. Rather than worrying about near-term weakness, we believe investors should 70 focus on 1) the duty-free business’s potential as a new growth driver and 2) the 11.17 3.18 7.18 11.18 department store business’s solid earnings growth relative to peers.
