  • ZWACK UNICUM EQUITY NOTE: ZWACK UNICUM Recommendation: HOLD (Unchanged) Target Price (12M): HUF 16,056 (Revised Down)
    EQUITY RESEARCH – ZWACK UNICUM EQUITY NOTE: ZWACK UNICUM Recommendation: HOLD (unchanged) Target price (12M): HUF 16,056 (revised down) 23 May 2019 Equity Analyst: We maintain our HOLD recommendation on Zwack Unicum (Zwack HB; ZWCG.BU) with Orsolya Rátkai a new 12M target price of 16,056 HUF/share, revised down from 16,271 HUF/share. The new target price reflects our slightly modified export sales projection over the Phone: +36 1 374 7270 forecast horizon of 2019–2024, and changes in the Hungarian risk-free rate. Higher taxes, slowing consumption, and increasing operational costs also play a role in the Email: somewhat subdued profit outlook in the challenging business environment in the short [email protected] and medium run. The new target price stands 8% below the HUF 17,500 closing price on 23 May, 2019. Even though investors can expect significant dividend payment after the latest business year, offering 7% dividend yield, it cannot fully offset the expected deterioration in the company’s valuation. Shares of Zwack Unicum dropped 0.3% on 23 May, 2019, while gained 2.3% in the last 3 months. Summary/Earnings Highlights As it was expected, Zwack Unicum sales revenues dropped significantly YoY in January-March 2019, after heavy stockpiling in the last calendar quarter of 2018. Quarterly domestic sales revenues declined 24% YoY, and export sales fell similarly. Although the January-March period is usually low season and brings some losses, operating and net loss roughly doubled the one reported in the base period. Employee benefits keep on rising, though at a slower pace than in the previous quarters.

  • The Sale of Treasury Stocks and Protection of Management Rights
    KDI FOCUS May 1 , 2017 (No. 82, eng.) For Inquiry: KDI Communications Unit Address: 263, Namsejong-ro, Sejong-si 30149, Korea Tel: 82-44-550-4030 Fax: 82-44-550-0652 Authors | Sung Ick Cho, Fellow at KDI (82-44-550-4137) KDI FOCUS | Analysis on critical pending issues of the Korean economy to enhance public understanding of the economy and provide useful policy alternatives Korea’s Leading Think Tank www.kdi.re.kr The Sale of Treasury Stocks and Protection of Management Rights Sung Ick Cho, Fellow at KDI “Treasury stocks play a vital role in retaining, protecting and transferring management rights in large enterprises. However, the sale of treasury stocks is essentially identical to the issuance of new shares in economic nature. Therefore, using treasury stocks to protect management rights could obscure the equal treatment of shareholders. Even if such practices are permitted for policy purposes, the government needs to put other measures into place to protect general and minority shareholders from the damages that may arise.” Ⅰ. Introduction Treasury stocks have garnered mounting attention in the wake of the Cheil Industries Inc. (formerly Samsung Everland) and Samsung C&T merger in 2015 and Samsung Electronics’ recent review of a split-off. At the same time, however, the myriad of highly technical and complicated contents in relation to legal and accounting matters have created more confusion than understanding. In order to shed light on the issue of treasury stocks, take the merger between Cheil * Based on Cho, Sung Ick and Yong Hyeon Yang, A New Discipline for the Inter-Corporate Sharehold- ing, Research Monograph, 2016-05, Korea Development Institute, 2016 (in Korean).

  • Equity Note: Zwack Unicum
    EQUITY RESEARCH – ZWACK UNICUM EQUITY NOTE: ZWACK UNICUM Recommendation: HOLD (unchanged) Target price (12M): HUF 17,083 (revised up) 15 Dec 2020 We maintain our HOLD recommendation for Zwack Unicum (Zwack HB; ZWCG.BU) with a Equity Analyst: Orsolya Rátkai new 12M target price of 17,083 HUF/share, revised up from previous 15,407 HUF/share. With better-than-expected revenue and profit figures in the July-September period, Phone: +36 1 374 7270 Zwack gave evidence of its ability to swiftly recover once things normalize. However, it is mild comfort regarding the current business year. The second-wave restrictions Email: implemented in November, hitting on-the-site consumption, endanger on-trade sales [email protected] again as half of Zwack's revenues come from the restaurant industry. The present restrictions can also be a drag on retail sales of spirits even in the Christmas season as festivities are expected to be disallowed. However, covid vaccines are within reach, which is expected to totally change the landscape. With mass vaccination starting up next year, business as usual may return by the middle of the year/second half of 2021. Considering this, we updated our free cash- flow valuation and dividend discount models, and shifted the forecast horizon by one year. Uncertainties on short-term forecast are still high and the schedule of vaccination in Hungary is yet to be published, adding considerable downside risks to our forecast. On the other hand, if immunization proceeds as it is hoped, domestic tourism and restaurant industry is expected to recover quickly and Zwack will benefit from this development.
