Domestic Ride-Hailing Services: Potential W10tr Valuation? Kakao (035720 KS ) Domestic ride -hailing services: Potential W10tr valuation? Internet High valuations of Uber/Lyft Company Update US ride-hailing companies Uber and Lyft have filed for IPOs with the Securities and January 8, 2019 Exchange Commission (SEC) in December 2018. Of note, Uber provides a wide range of services, including ride-hailing (with options like Standard, Luxury, and SUV), shared rides, food delivery (Uber Eats), a shipping platform (Uber Freight), ride-hailing exclusively for healthcare organizations (Uber Health), and a staffing platform (Uber Works). (Maintain) Buy In 2018, Uber recorded an estimated US$46.8bn in total gross bookings and US$10.8bn in net revenue. However, the company is still incurring huge losses, with a net loss of Target Price (12M, W) 130,000 US$1.07bn in 3Q18. Meanwhile, Lyft controls 29% of the North American market as of October 2018, up from 22% in October 2017. US media reports suggest Uber and Lyft Share Price (01/07/19, W) 103,000 could be valued at US$120bn (W135tr) and US$15.1bn (W17tr), respectively, in their IPOs. Success will depend on traffic and revenue growth Expected Return 26% We believe the success of Uber’s and Lyft’s IPOs will be tied to the pace of growth of their user traffic and revenue around the time of their listings. In addition, we think OP (18F, Wbn) 102 these two companies’ stock market performances will be reflected in the Korean stock Consensus OP (18F, Wbn) 102 market by their effect on growth expectations on the domestic ride-sharing market. EPS Growth (18F, %) -48.8 Ride-hailing is projected to account for 30% of the global auto market by 2030 , with many Market EPS Growth (18F, %) 7.4 consumers expected to forgo car ownership in favor of such services. Applying the 30% P/E (18F, x) 125.6 share to domestic auto market projections, we estimate that Korea’s ride-hailing market Market P/E (18F, x) 8.2 could grow to W15tr. If we simply apply the current valuations of Uber/Lyft (based on KOSPI 2,037.10 media reports) as well as the size of the US auto market versus the Korean auto market, domestic ride-hailing services could reach a market value of W10tr. Market Cap (Wbn) 8,589 Shares Outstanding (mn) 83 Kakao Mobility’s traffic dominance; maintain Buy and TP of W130,000 Free Float (%) 62.4 Ride-hailing services continue to be a subject of controversy domestically and globally, Foreign Ownership (%) 25.2 amid intense conflicts with the taxi industry. Nevertheless, there are bullish expectations Beta (12M) 1.56 on Uber’s and Lyft’s IPOs that are supported by a number of positive indicators, including 52-Week Low 87,600 the rapid rise of user traffic and revenue, along with the strong revenue growth of 52-Week High 159,500 Russian company Yandex’s (YNDX US EQUITY/CP: $29.02) ride-sharing service since its launch in 2017.

A string of new competitors are also entering the market. However, we note that Kakao Mobility holds a dominant share in Korea’s ride- 130 Kakao KOSPI hailing market, meaning it would claim the majority of the potential W10tr valuation of 110 domestic ride-hailing services. 90 70 50 12.17 4.18 8.18 12.18 Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd.

  • Kakao T Taxi in March 2015, Kakao Mobility Corp
    Report 20 18 CEO’s Message After the first publication last year, Kakao Mobility Corp. issued the second kakaomobility Report. Since its launch of Kakao T Taxi in March 2015, Kakao Mobility Corp. established its independent entity in August 2017, and introduced Kakao T by consolidating Kakao Taxi, Kakao Driver, Kakao Navi, and Kakao Parking. A large amount of travel data has been collected while Kakao Mobility Corp. has been committed to pursuing innovation. This Report shows our society’s dynamic aspects based on our collected mobility data. Many people have contributed to the publication of this Report. First of all, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Kakao T users who have provided real time travel data. I also would like to thank taxi drivers and designated drivers for responding to surveys and interviews for this Report. Such valuable information will become a meaningful foundation for Kakao Mobility Corp. to improve customer services and constantly pursue innovation. With the age of digital transformation, the mobility industry worldwide has been experiencing a big change. In particular, travel innovation is considered as a meaningful innovation that can make many people’s life safer and more convenient and create more chances for a happier life by broadening the sphere of living. This mobility business is rapidly growing in a world of borderless competition. However, I am very worried that Korea may fall behind global competition and lose a chance to take the lead in innovation due to several regulations and conflicts. It’s time to make a bold leap forward to innovative growth at the national level.

  • Economia Compartilhada E Governança Pública
    Economia compartilhada e governança pública Adilson Giovanini ¹ ¹ Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina / Departamento de Governança Pública, Balneário Camboriú / SC – Brasil O termo economia compartilhada é empregado na literatura especializada para identificar a forma como a internet, os smartphones e os aplicativos estão modificando a dinâmica econômica mundial. Este artigo apresenta uma pesquisa documental realizada para identificar os aplicativos de compartilhamento que surgiram nas últimas décadas e o modo como estão contribuindo para a melhoria da gestão pública local. Utilizou-se a análise descritiva dos dados e uma regressão para caracterizar a adesão às novas tecnologias pelos governos locais e para identificar o modo como afetam o desempenho fiscal dos municípios, mensurado a partir do Índice FIRJAN de Gestão Fiscal (IFGF). Os resultados obtidos mostram que os aplicativos de economia compartilhada podem contribuir de diferentes formas, com destaque para: a maior cooperação e coordenação intra e entre governos locais, redução na subutilização de ativos, maior acesso e melhoria na qualidade dos serviços públicos, e maior interação e participação dos cidadãos nas decisões públicas. A regressão estimada mostra que o emprego das novas tecnologias de comunicação contribui para a melhoria no desempenho fiscal dos municípios. Contudo, essas tecnologias são pouco utilizadas, sendo necessárias iniciativas que estimulem a utilização de aplicativos de compartilhamento nas gestões públicas locais. Palavras-chave: economia compartilhada; municípios; gestão pública local.
