Netmarble Games Corporation(251270 KS) Watch for Overseas Publishing and New Domestic Releases Netmarble Games Corporation(251270 KS) Watch for overseas publishing and new domestic releases Game 2Q17: First official earnings report; Expectations should be lowered For 2Q17, Netmarble Games reported that its revenue, operating profit, and net Results Comment profit grew 53%, 99%, and 140% YoY, respectively. The latest results showed a August 14, 2017 deceleration in revenue from Lineage II: Revolution, which was released in late 2016. Positives: Overseas revenue was up YoY and QoQ, boosted by the consolidation of (Downgrade) Trading Buy Kabam (acquired in February). Kabam is a well-recognized game developer, with its game Transformers: Forged to Fight winning the Best Game Award at the 2017 Target Price (12M, W) 150,000 Google Play Awards in May. Negatives: Domestic revenue slumped 45% QoQ, affected by softening traffic for Share Price (08/11/17, W) 127,500 key titles like Lineage II: Revolution and Seven Knights. Meanwhile, labor and advertising expenses increased 44% and 9% YoY, pushing up operating expenses. Expected Return 18% 2H17: Lineage II: Revolution overseas publishing and domestic MMORPG releases OP (17F, Wbn) 518 In 2H17, we believe Netmarble Games could potentially make up for its recent Consensus OP (17F, Wbn) 792 earnings weakness through new title releases. EPS Growth (17F, %) 59.4 Lineage II: Revolution: We believe domestic user metrics have been stabilizing Market EPS Growth (17F, %) 42.1 since June. As for overseas markets, the mobile title was launched in Southeast Asia P/E (17F, x) 31.2 on June 14th and is set for release in Japan on August 23rd and in North America, Market P/E (17F, x) 9.7 Europe, and China in 4Q17. KOSPI 2,319.71 Domestic MMORPG releases: Following its success with Lineage II: Revolution, Market Cap (Wbn) 10,839 Netmarble Games is planning to roll out a number of new mobile MMORPG titles, Shares Outstanding (mn) 85 including Tera M, Blade & Soul Mobile, and Seven Knights MMORPG. For Tera M, Free Float (%) 27.9 the company has already launched a teaser website and will reveal more details on Foreign Ownership (%) 24.8 the timeline of the game’s release at a September 8th showcase. The company also Beta (12M) 0.39 has several new releases lined up in other genres, including Phantom Gate, Knights 52-Week Low 127,500 Chronicle, and Teria Saga. All of the aforementioned new titles are likely to 52-Week High 162,000 contribute to revenue from 4Q17 rather than 3Q17. (%) 1M 6M 12M Downgrade to Trading Buy and Cut TP to W150,000 Absolute -14.1 0.0 0.0 Relative -11.3 0.0 0.0 We downgrade our rating on Netmarble Games from Buy to Trading Buy. We believe the decline in Lineage II: Revolution user metrics following the game’s 110 Netmarble Games Corporation initial success has been largely priced in. However, with upcoming titles likely to KOSPI 100 contribute to earnings from 4Q17 (rather than 3Q17), we think it is too early to reflect expectations for new releases. 90 We lower our target price from W200,000 to W150,000. We revised down our 2017 80 EPS estimate by 36%, after 1) cutting our 2H17 daily average revenue assumption 70 for Lineage II: Revolution from W1.5bn to W1.4bn and 2) raising labor and 8.16 12.16 4.17 8.17 marketing expense estimates.

    Título: Guild Wars 2 Distribuidora: Koch Media Editor/Desarrollador: NCSOFT / Arenanet Género: MMORG Formato: PC Idioma: Manual y textos en castellano Fecha de Lanzamiento: 2012 Pegi: 12 + Web: www.guildwars2.com Descripción del juego Guild Wars 2 es un MMO visualmente impresionante, que ofrece a los jugadores la grandeza épica que rodea un juego de rol masivo combinado con un sistema de combate innovador, una experiencia dinámica de juego interactivo con historias personalizadas. En Guild Wars 2, ArenaNet incorpora un modo de juego innovador que permite a los usuarios jugar a su manera, pero manteniendo el desarrollo tradicional que Guild Wars mostró desde sus orígenes, y se mantiene, como en su anterior entrega, sin cuota de suscripción mensual. La saga original de Guild Wars ha vendido más de 6 millones de unidades en todo el mundo, y sigue disfrutando de una serie de jugadores activos y leales que esperan con impaciencia esta secuela. Características Las decisiones personales afectan al desarrollo del juego: Una experiencia dinámica de juego interactiva. Sus opciones y acciones generan un efecto real en el mundo que te rodea. ¿Los habitantes lucharán contra la arrasadora legión centauro o sucumbirán al ataque? ¡Tú decides! Sistema de eventos dinámicos: hace referencia a cualquier evento que ocurre en una zona persistente como resultado de la interacción de los personajes explorando el mundo. Son llamados dinámicos porque cambian constantemente en nuevos eventos, creando un efecto cascada. Una vez que el evento comience se desarrollará independientemente de si hay jugadores en la zona o no. Debido a esto, no existe un concepto real de fracaso o éxito, el resultado de cualquier evento simplemente causará un cambio en la zona.

Chang-kwean Kim [email protected] HeeSeok Lim [email protected] Revenue from existing titles 4Q20 preview: Revenue of W552bn and OP of W187bn remains robust In 1Q21, we believe the combined daily average revenue of Lineage M and Lineage 2M has remained at around W4bn (similar to the 4Q20 level), supported by the continued effects of updates made in July (Lineage M) and November (Lineage 2M). For 4Q20, we expect NCsoft to post revenue of W552bn (+3.3% YoY) and operating profit of W187bn (+32.5% YoY). The consensus is currently looking for revenue of W554.9bn and operating profit of W169.3bn. We believe 4Q20 margins contracted on: 1) company-wide incentive payouts; and 2) bonus payouts to the company’s professional baseball team following its Korean Series win.
