KT (030200 KS/Buy) Next step for KT’s media business: KT Media Hub KT Media Hub in charge of KT’s IPTV operation, mobile IPTV, advertisements and content businesses Company Update KT Media Hub to contribute to KT’s subscriber retention and profit margin growth October 17, 2013 near-term, as the control tower of the group’s media business Watch for KT Media Hub’s transformation into a total media content group in the long term Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd.

As KT expands media business, attention now on next phase of growth +822-768-3615 KT’s media and content revenue is currently growing at an impressive rate of over 30% YoY. [email protected] The KT group has been expanding its dominance in the pay-TV market, with more than 6mn media subscribers from IPTV and satellite TV (KT Skylife) combined. Now that KT has secured quantitative growth, much attention is being focused on what the next chapter will be for the company. Lately, there have been talks among lawmakers of potentially regulating pay-TV market share based on total media subscribers. Going forward, KT plans to seek ways to boost its media subscriber base beyond IPTV to new media segments like mobile IPTV. It is also looking to expand its content and convergence services and improve its ARPU by driving additional revenue streams. And by building on its broad subscriber base, the company intends to launch a series of new business initiatives. All in all, we believe KT’s media business is on track to achieve qualitative growth. Leading the charge is KT Media Hub, the group’s media content company, which was spun off from KT in late October 2012. Figure 1.
