  • Studio Dragon Corporation (253450 KQ ) Temporary Lull
    Studio Dragon Corporation (253450 KQ ) Temporary lull Media 2Q18 review: Temporary lull due to absence of tentpoles For 2Q18, Studio Dragon delivered consolidated revenue of W74.3bn (+19.6% YoY ) and operating profit of W7.3bn (-17.6% YoY). Revenue was 8% above the consensus Company Report (W68.5bn), but operating profit missed the consensus (W9.3bn) by 21%. Licensing sales August 9, 2018 were tepid, as 2Q18 was the only quarter of the year with no tentpole titles (i.e., those with production cost of W1bn per episode). Meanwhile, pro duction costs for regular titles increased, which was good for revenue, but bad for margins. That said, we view the 2Q18 profit figure as the minimum level of profits that can be expected, regardless of the commercial success of the company’s titles. (Maintain) Buy Programming revenue was strong, growing 41.1% YoY to W34.1bn, thanks to budget increases. All of the company’s six titles in 2Q18 were aired on captive channels. Target Price (12M, W) Following the success of Live and My Mister in March, dramas like What’s Wrong with 150,000 Secretary Kim (June) also did well, both critically and commercially (average ratings: +1.5%p). Licensing sales grew 9.5% YoY to W28.8bn. Despite the absence of tentpoles, Share Price (08/08/18, W) 96,000 overseas sales continued. The company also recognized some VoD sales of regular titles, sales of older titles, and part of the licensing sales for Live from Netflix (sold in 1Q18). Other revenue slipped 1.9% YoY to W11.4bn.
