The CEO overviewed the past, present and future of Korean movie contents industry. He expressed that the recent success of Korean movies was driven by the business model shift to quality among domestic movie players, which went for selective projects with lesser production. Investors were interested in finding the strong performance of Korean movies and reading industry trends. We believe the audience largely agreed on improved earnings visibility of movie contents players through the session. The CEO also shared the news about the recent agreements that the company has entered with its US and Chinese partners. Since it sees both US and China markets as facing shortages of some types of movie contents, with the US market dominated by hero series and China having certain limitations in film genres, Showbox would partner with local movie players in each region as a contents supplier. Investors paid great attention on its expansion strategy given that enlarged viewership would offer sequential growth opportunity for Showbox. The CEO was confident of its overseas success given that Korean movie players, including Showbox, hold competitive edge in terms of content depth. Past and present of domestic movie industry. Through recent years, the domestic movie industry has been consistently witnessing an annual rate of 8% CAGR since 2011 thanks to the success of Korean movies.
