YG Entertainment (122870 KQ) Potential of new artists and businesses has yet to be proven Entertainment 2Q revenue up 34.2% YoY, operating profit up 36.5% YoY YG Entertainment’s 2Q revenue and operating profit grew 34.2% and 36.5% YoY to Results Comment W30.6bn and W5.5bn, respectively. Net profit climbed 56.5% YoY. Overall, 2Q results August 30, 2013 met expectations thanks to revenue recognition from Psy’s domestic concerts and G- Dragon’s concerts outside of Japan. In 3Q, we project YG Entertainment to deliver record-high earnings, backed by G-Dragon’s (Maintain) Buy Japan dome tour (320,000 attendees based on maximum seating capacity), Daesung’s Japan concerts (70,000 attendees based on maximum seating capacity), and new album releases by Target Price (12M, W) 59,500 2NE1 and Seungri. We forecast 3Q operating profit of W8bn on revenue of W40bn. Share Price (08/29/13, W) 49,250 Boy band to debut via reality competition show; Big Bang set for 4Q dome tour YG Entertainment has not introduced a single new idol group following the debut of Expected Return 21% 2NE1 four years ago and Big Bang eight years ago. However, the entertainment firm plans to debut a new boy group through a reality program called WIN (set to premiere OP (13F, Wbn) 27 on August 23rd), which will feature eleven contestants competing in two teams. Consensus OP (13F, Wbn) 29 We revise down our 2013F and 2014F net profit by 7.2% and 12.3%, respectively. EPS Growth (13F, %) 28.6 Although revenue from Psy’s overseas concerts has not yet been reflected, we believe Market EPS Growth (13F, %) 22.4 2013 overseas concert revenue has been largely in line with expectations. We note that P/E (13F, x) 20.7 G-Dragon’s concerts have been attracting much larger-than-expected crowds. Market P/E (13F, x) 9.6 On the other hand, we expect a decline in overseas royalties from Japanese-language KOSDAQ 520.37 albums (released through local agents). We note that royalties from Japanese albums Market Cap (Wbn) 508 and digital music are one of the company’s most profitable sources of revenue. Shares Outstanding (mn) 10 Free Float (%) 58.2 Looking forward into 2014, we expect: 1) Chinese concerts to begin generating meaningful Foreign Ownership (%) 3.2 revenue, 2) a clearer picture of Psy’s overseas concert schedule to emerge, and 3) the firm’s Beta (12M) 0.93 pop group lineup to expand with the addition of a new girl group. However, we believe the 52-Week Low (W) 45,350 contribution of the company’s most profitable sources of income (such as overseas albums 52-Week High (W) 108,700 and domestic digital music) will be smaller than expected. (%) 1M 6M 12M Lower TP to W59,500; Potential of new artists or Psy effect yet to be confirmed Absolute -12.1 -26.4 -19.5 We maintain Buy on YG Entertainment, but slash our target price by 30% to W59,500 Relative -12.5 -20.5 -18.4 (from W85,000), in light of downward adjustments to our 2013F and 2014F EPS. We Share price also believe the current stock price reflects a growth premium relative to other 220 KOSDAQ entertainment or media players, but we have yet to see any concrete evidence that 170 validates the potential of new artists or businesses. 120 YG Entertainment has initiated a number of new businesses: including 1): the launch of 70 YG Channel on China’s largest online video website Youku, together with Samsung 8/12 12/12 4/13 8/13 Electronics, 2) the opening of a hologram concert hall at Everland, and 3) a W5bn investment in Red Rover, a 3D animation company.
