[Korea] Media November 11, 2020 CJ CGV Sell (079160 KS ) (Maintain) Scaling down to survive TP: W16,000 ▲ Downside: -27.1% Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd. Jeong -yeob Park [email protected] 3Q20 review : Weaker than Consolidated revenue of W 155 .2bn (-68.8% YoY) , operating loss of W 96 .8bn (turn to red YoY ) expected The vicious cycle of plunging demand and an absence of content continued across all markets. As a result, CJ CGV’s fixed-cost burden increased, weighing on earnings. Revenue slumped roughly 69% YoY, hurt by the fall in theater attendance amid the pandemic and the absence of Hollywood content. SG&A expenses fell 29% YoY, as enhanced operational efficiency led to savings (rent and labor). By country, operating losses amounted to W43.3bn in Korea, W19.1bn in China, W8bn in Turkey, and W5.6bn in Vietnam. At the net level, the company recorded a loss of W131.5bn ( net loss attributable to owners of the parent of W100.4bn) due to financing expenses. Remaking of the theater Break -even point needs to be lowered through downsizing business By country, we estimate CJ CGV’s break-even theater attendance at 160mn for Korea, 1.5bn for China, 60mn for Turkey, and 50mn for Vietnam. Compared to our 2020 forecasts, these figures imply increases of 106% for Korea, 180% for China, 41% for Turkey, and 67% for Vietnam. To close the gap with break-even levels, we believe the company needs both: 1) an easing of top-line headwinds (content/pandemic); and 2) a dramatic reduction in theater sites. Of note, box-office revenue recorded a slower rate of decline in October (-66% in Korea, -22% in China, -97% in Turkey, and -50% in Vietnam). Key variables: Spread of the virus and the release of Hollywood films (need to monitor US cases) Recommendation and valuation Maintain Sell and raise TP to W16,000 Our target price is based on the sum of the values of the domestic operation (W376.1bn), the stake in CGI (W500.4bn), and the Turkey operation (W156bn), minus net debt (W467.4bn). Expected attendance levels should decline after a couple of years, considering: 1) the six-month void in theater experience globally; 2) changes in the content distribution chain due to the rise of alternative platforms (direct-to-OTT releases); and 3) the decrease in film investments. In the near term, box-office recoveries across markets and the resolution of financing risks will be key. The company’s Turkey total return swap (TRS) contract is set to mature in 2Q21. In the long term, CJ CGV needs to downsize its multiplex business (30% reduction planned over a three-year period), given the erosion in theater demand. We could upgrade our rating if top line recovers more sharply than expected and Hollywood film releases show signs of normalizing.
