[Korea] Airlines January 15, 2021 Jin Air Trading Buy (272450 KS ) (Upgrade) Potential LCC integration TP: W20,000 ▲▲▲ Upside: 13.0% Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd. Jay JH Ryu [email protected] 4Q20 preview Operating loss likely continued on international weakness For 4Q20, we forecast Jin Air to post revenue of W53.8bn and an operating loss of W47.2bn (consensus: operating loss of W44.1bn). We believe passenger traffic was strong in the domestic segment (+19.8% YoY) but sluggish in the international segment (-99.4% YoY). Jin Air held around W150bn in cash at end-2020, after raising W105bn via an equity issue. Despite lower expenses due to furloughs, we believe the carrier will continue to record losses through 1H21. Key points to watch Potential integration of three LCCs Korean Air’s acquisition of Asiana Airlines has raised the possibility of the companies’ low-cost carriers (LCCs) being integrated. A merger of the three LCCs (Jin Air, Air Busan, and Air Seoul) would create a mega-LCC with a combined fleet of 60 aircraft (including four large aircraft). Earnings would likely recover rapidly after market conditions pick up, with restructuring and scale effects driving margin improvements. That said, we think the combined fleet (which would be split between Airbus and Boeing) would possibly need to be simplified. Recommendation Upgrade to Trading Buy and present TP of W20,000 We present a target price of W20,000 on Jin Air. With our target price implying 13% upside potential, we upgrade the stock to Trading Buy. When assuming a recovery, Jin Air’s current share price implies a P/S ratio of 0.9x; this suggests expectations of a recovery are being priced in. Looking ahead, the direction of LCC integration and the strength of a post-pandemic recovery in demand bear watching.
