[Korea] Media CJ CGV Sell (079160 KS) (Downgrade) Far from breakeven TP: W15,000 Downside: 20.2% Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd. Jeong-yeob Park [email protected] 2Q20 review Consolidated revenue of W41.6bn (-91.4% YoY) and operating loss of W130.5bn (turning to loss YoY); worse than expected CJ CGV fared worse than expected in 2Q20, hurt by a heavy fixed cost burden amid theater shutdowns and the absence of new releases around the world. Revenue plunged 91% YoY, as COVID-19 caused theater attendance to plummet across regions. SG&A expenses fell 51% YoY on improved operating efficiency (reduced lease/labor expenses). By country, operating loss amounted to W70.1bn in Korea, W29.8bn in China, W1.6bn in Turkey, and W8.3bn in Vietnam. Due to financing expenses, net loss came in at W174.9bn (net loss attributable to owners of the parent of W143.2bn). Theater business is far from Demand hit a bottom, but a YoY recovery is unlikely anytime soon breakeven Following global demand contraction in 1H20, the domestic box office recovered 46% MoM in Jul., supported by an increase in new releases. By title, theater attendance was 1.9mn for #Alive (Jun.) and 3.6mn for Train to Busan 2 (Jul.). Blockbuster lineup in 2H20: Tenet (Aug. 26), The King's Man (Sep.), Black Widow (Nov.), and 007: No Time to Die (Nov.) QoQ improvements should continue, but the outlook for YoY performance remains murky, given the lingering impact of the pandemic and the decline in content lineup. Recommendation and valuation Downgrade to Sell (from Hold) and present TP of W15,000 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 (W509bn). Short-term outlook: With the reopening of theaters, the pace of the box office recovery is a key variable (75% and 80% of theaters are back in business in China and Turkey, respectively). Long-term outlook: We believe CJ CGV needs to consider downsizing its multiplex business, given the risks to its business model. We expect the theater market to be smaller in size two years from now, given: 1) likely shifts in consumer behavior post-COVID-19; 2) the rise of alternative platforms (e.g., direct-to-OTT releases); and 3) declining investments in traditional movie production. CJ CGV’s 30% reduction in fixed costs should lead to leverage effects upon a recovery in attendance. However, breakeven seems to be a long way off. We estimate the domestic theater business needs attendance to be at 180mn to break even (2020F attendance: 110mn).
