Duty-free business expands rapidly

A decade of 20% After a decade of solid growth (20% a year on average), travel retailing in South Korea CAGR is now a $12.8bn market (as of 2017). The industry used to generate an equal amount of revenue from domestic and foreign shoppers, but that changed in 2012 when a large number of Chinese group tourists started flowing into Korea. The share of foreign shoppers in the country’s duty-free sales surged to 74% in 2017 as Chinese middlemen so-called daigou started to snap up Korea’s duty-free goods for resale in their home country a couple of years ago.

Thanks to daigou, Korea’s downtown duty-free business is also thriving. Last year, the downtown operation constituted 78% of total domestic duty-free sales, up from 50% in 2012.

Foreign travelers shell Amid diplomatic friction between Seoul and Beijing last year, the number of foreign out more on duty-free arrivals to Korea shrank (down 23% yoy), which led to a decline in traffic to duty-free goods than local customers stores (down 27% yoy for foreign customers). Yet, foreign tourists’ spending on duty- free goods increased thanks to free-spending daigou. On a per-customer basis, foreign travelers spent six times more on duty-free goods than local customers in 1H18.

More players join the growing travel-retail market

More companies Lotte and Hotel Shilla were the two dominant forces leading the Korea’s duty-free keen for a slice of the industry. In May 2016, retail titan Shinsegae entered the travel retail market by opening growing duty-free pie a duty-free shop in Myeongdong, a shopping mecca in northern Seoul. In July this

year, the company launched another duty-free outlet in Gangnam, the southern part of Seoul. This November, Hyundai Department Store will open its tax-free store in the same neighborhood, which by that time will be a home to four duty-free stores (including two Lotte duty-free stores already operating in the region).

Time needed for new Clustered in the same neighborhood, the new stores will be able to attract more stores to generate tourists, most importantly daigou, helping them break even earlier. But with the limited stable profits number of brands they carry and early investments they made to draw traffic, it will take a while before they can get on stable footing.

Outlook: Shinsegae’s new airport duty-free outlets

Scale advantage In June this year, Shinsegae won a bid to run duty-free stores at Incheon International expected; profit Airport. The retailer will operate two stores, one in DF1 (cosmetics and perfume) and decline inevitable one in DF5 (fashion and accessories) in Terminal 1 of the world’s busiest airport. With the deal, Shinsegae’s share in the domestic duty-free market will jump from 13% to 19%, giving the company scale needed to compete against bigger rivals such as Lotte (market share 36%) and Shilla (30%).

On the downside, the high rents will likely weigh on the company’s bottom line in the early stage. In the June bid, the retailer offered to pay W337bn (W276.2bn for the DF1 slot and W60.8bn for the DF5 slot) a year. (Lotte Duty Free, which previously ran those lucrative spots (over W1tn sales in 2016), gave up the license due to the heavy cost burden). Further weighing on the outlook is the newly opened Terminal 2 (launched in January this year) which will drive some of customer traffic away from Terminal 1.

To quell those concerns, the new stores’ combined sales will have to top W900bn a year.

Impacts of China-US trade war

Sentiment on duty- Most of Korea’s duty-free retailers saw their share prices fall sharply in the past month, free stocks weaker pressured by rising concerns over China’s economy as the trade tension between Beijing and Washington continued to escalate. Those companies, which benefited from

large purchases made by Chinese middlemen, took a hit as Chinese currency fell against the dollar and the country’s consumer sentiment soured.

Those two headwinds will need to be resolved for share prices to regain ground. On the bright side, the current share prices largely reflect those headwinds, which means

they will rebound strongly once the tension between the world’s two largest economies eases.

Meanwhile, the proposed regulation on Chinese grey-market resellers will not likely have a significant impact on duty-free companies who have faced the same regulatory issue every year. Historically, those stocks suffered a selloff when the regulatory issue resurfaced, but rallied back in a matter of months.

In all, we advise investors to increase exposure to duty-free shares in an incremental manner, while monitoring developments in China’s economy.

Investment highlights

Top pick: We present Hotel Shilla as our top pick for the duty-free sector. Shinsegae and Hotel Shilla Shinsegae International are also under our watch.

Under watch: Hotel Shilla (BUY; TP W140,000) With no need to plow money into new store Shinsegae, launches, the No. 2 duty-free operator (by market share) boasts the highest operational Shinsegae efficiency among rivals. Despite renewed regulation on Chinese daigou, expectations International for stronger earnings in 3Q18 and 2H18 remain intact. Recent stock retreat offers a good buying opportunity.

Shinsegae (BUY; TP W480,000) While late to the game, the retail giant has successfully gained a foothold in the duty-free world. Its share price, however, has been hammered by concerns over start-up costs that could weigh on third-quarter earnings. We believe the stock will rebound at the end of this year or early next year, as investors get clarity on the performance of new duty-free stores.

Shinsegae International (BUY; TP W235,000) and F&F (BUY; TP W115,000). Both having a knack for pursuing new businesses and building up brand equity, the two companies have emerged as winners of Korea’s booming downtown duty-free business. Their brands will continue to grow as the domestic duty-free market continues to expand. We see stronger stock upside for Shinsegae International which has a bigger brand-extension potential than F&F.

Share price will start to recover as US-China trade tensions ease - A drop in China’s consumer sentiment index (stemming from the trade tensions between the US and China), coupled with the depreciation of the Chinese yuan against the greenback, has dragged down the shares in Hotel Shilla. But investors may want to consider a buy approach on Hotel Shilla. Given that many negative catalysts are already baked into the share price, investors should be prepared for a possible easing of the trade frictions between the two countries.

Hotel Shilla boasts a strong portfolio of duty-free stores

Strong portfolio of Duty-free business requires economies of scale, and in this sense, Hotel Shilla has an downtown and airport strong portfolio of duty-free stores in both downtown and airports. Its rivals are seeing duty-free stores substantial earnings fluctuations: 1) Lotte, the market leader, has withdrawn from Incheon International Airport; and 2) Shinsegae, now the third largest player, replaced Lotte at Incheon International Airport, albeit at the expense of high rents. In contrast, Hotel Shilla is enjoying stable earnings from its Changchoong downtown store and the Incheon International Airport store, while achieving economies of scale

Its Changchoong downtown store, a must-go place for daigou (Chinese shuttle traders), posts yearly revenue of more than W2tn at the highest level of efficiency. Shinsegae’s Myeongdong store is catching up rapidly in terms of revenue, but still lags far behind the Changchoong store in size and efficiency. Furthermore, being the market’s dominant player, Hotel Shilla does not need to be aggressive when it comes to capex investments in airport duty-free stores (unlike Shinsegae).

In duty-free business, In 2Q18, companywide revenue and OP expanded 47% and 57% yoy, respectively, revenue expansion is with duty-free revenue and OP surging 53% and 302% yoy, respectively. Duty-free key to earnings unit’s OP margin widened 5.0%p yoy to 6.1% owing to a 1.1%p yoy fall in growth commissions paid to tour guides who bring customers to downtown duty-free stores. Such a cut in commission would help boost earnings, but as 2Q18 results show, revenue expansion is key to earnings growth. As for downtown duty-free stores, it is not a stretch to say that revenue expansion contributes up to 80% of earnings growth as their fixed cost burden is not heavy relative to airport duty-free stores.

Shilla, which stands to benefit from an Against this backdrop, we advise investors to consider a buy approach on Hotel Shilla easing of US-China as many negative catalysts are already priced in though it is hard to predict when the trade tensions trade dispute between the US and China and the risks associated with it will ease or end.

Furthermore, the number of Chinese tourists visiting Korea, which had plunged due to the THAAD standoff, is gradually recovering. We believe that the gradually recovering investor sentiment will drive the earnings momentum in the duty-free sector, and rapidly lift the share price.

Coverage initiated with BUY and 6M TP of W140,000

We begin to cover Hotel Shilla with a BUY rating and a six-month target price of W140,000 (based on a 12-month forward P/E of 25x). The target multiple is derived

from the average EPS growth expected in 2019-2020. Our residual income model values Hotel Shilla at W134,523 per share, which is similar to the target price.

For the share price to recover, China’s economic growth momentum would have to draw attention, although valuation levels are also relevant. Hotel Shilla’s current valuation level (i.e., 19x 2019E EPS) reflects only a portion of its growth potential for 2018-2020. Unless China’s economy dips as a result of the escalating trade wars with the US, we believe the current valuation level is clearly attractive.

The RIM is considered less subjective than similar valuation models such as DDM, DCF, and EVA. Note 2: The RIM reflects consolidated subsidiaries’ earnings not in their entirety but only for the stake controlled by the company. Note 3: The required rate of return (i.e., cost of equity) is the rate of return expected by the shareholders who take risks. It is derived by the capital asset price model: Cost of equity = Risk-free interest rate + Beta * Market risk premium. Note 4: The yield on five-year government bonds was used as the proxy for the risk-free interest rate. Note 5: Market risk premium refers to the gap between the expected return on the market portfolio and the risk-free interest rate. It has been lowered from 6-8% to 3-5% in reflection of the current low-growth environment. Note 6: The terminal growth was assumed to be zero.

Its Major Lee Myeong-hee+2: 28.06% shareholders National Pension Service: location, once considered a weakness (i.e., three major duty-free stores in downtown Seoul stand close together north of , with Shinsegae’s 12.60% Myeongdong store located near Lotte’s store), rather helped win over (%) 1M 3M 6M 12M customers.

Though late to Rel. return -8.7 -25.5 -2.3 62.1 the game, the Myeongdong store was the only new duty-free store to achieve this, once again proving its competitiveness. (W(천원1K) ) Sh신세계Insegae(좌(LHS)) (%) 480 RelatRelativeIve tO KOSPI to KOSPI(우) 140 - When Shinsegae opened its Gangnam store in July and two more stores 120 at Incheon International Airport (DF1 & DF5) in August, concerns of 403 100 potential operating losses began to emerge. Furthermore, with Lotte 80 expanding marketing efforts for its Sogong store and Hyundai Department 325 60 Store planning to open a new duty-free store at COEX this November, the 40 risk of rising competition also surfaced. But we believe that the duty-free 248 20 operator can significantly reduce its rent burden should its DF1 and DF5 0 stores generate about W900bn in yearly revenue (Fig 10). Downtown 170 -20 duty-free stores will face ever-increasing competition, but its Myeongdong 17.08 17.11 18.02 18.05 18.08 store is expected to deliver strong results thanks to its geographical advantage, fully making up for the loss from the new Gangnam store.

Other businesses are also showing growth - Other businesses such as department stores and Shinsegae International are also faring well in their respective areas, which will boost Shinsegae’s brand value. - Shinsegae Department Store’s same-store sales growth is always exceeding that of rivals by 1-2%p owing to the high traffic of young customers and the network of department stores operating in major districts across the nation that outperform rival brands. - Shinsegae International (031430 KS, BUY, TP W235,000), a subsidiary, is doing well in the cosmetics market, taking advantage of the department store and duty-free store channels.

TP (W) 480,000 Note 1: Under the residual income model (RIM), we add the current shareholders’ equity to the residual income based on the earnings forecast for the next ten years before adding the result to the residual income after the forecasting period to derive the value of shareholders’ stakes. The RIM is considered less subjective than similar valuation models such as DDM, DCF, and EVA. Note 2: The RIM reflects consolidated subsidiaries’ earnings not in their entirety but only for the stake controlled by the company. Note 3: The required rate of return (i.e., cost of equity) is the rate of return expected by the shareholders who take risks. It is derived by the capital asset price model: Cost of equity = Risk-free interest rate + Beta * Market risk premium. Note 4: The yield on five-year government bonds was used as the proxy for the risk-free interest rate. Note 5: Market risk premium refers to the gap between the expected return on the market portfolio and the risk-free interest rate. It has been lowered from 6-8% to 3-5% in reflection of the current low-growth environment. Note 6: The terminal growth was assumed to be zero.

Cindy Yu BUY and 6M TP of W125,000 maintained - We keep BUY on Hyundai Department Store while maintaining the target [email protected] price of W125,000 (11x 12MF EPS). The stock is undervalued. Tangible results of the newly launched duty-free business would unlock its value, Rating BUY which we believe will materialize in 2H19. maintain

TP (W) 125,000 COEX duty-free store to open in November maintain - This November, Hyundai Department Store will open a 10,902 square- meter duty-free store at the COEX mall, in which it invested about W200bn CP (W) 98,300 (18.08.27) in total (W110bn in operating costs, W66.0bn in interior design, W10.0bn in IT, and W15.0bn in other infrastructure). Retail - The company aims to generate W1bn in daily revenue from the new store in the early stage, while predicting an operating loss of W5.0bn on revenue KOSPI 2299.3 of W55-60bn during the November-December period. These figures don’t Market cap (Wbn) 2,300 look unreasonable given that Shinsegae’s Gangnam duty-free store, which Market cap portion (%) 0.15 opened in July, is bringing in a daily revenue of about W0.8bn and Paid-in capital (common; Wbn) 117 considering the COEX store’s depreciation charges (an estimated 52w high/low (W) 119,500 / 85,700 W15.0bn/year), rent payments (W10bn/year), and other operating 120d avg. trading volume (Wbn) 11.4 expenses.

Abs. return 0.4 -5.5 7.0 3.3 Rel. return 0.2 1.2 14.3 6.8 - Even assuming that domestic duty-free store operators will enjoy growth in demand from daigou (Chinese shuttle traders) as well as tourists (both (W(천원1K) ) Hy현대백화점undaI DePt. St(좌ORe)(LHS) (%) individual and group tourists), it will take 2-3 years before Hyundai 130 RelatRelativeIve tO KOSPI to KOSPI(우) 25 Department Store generates yearly revenue of W600-700bn (the 20 company’s 2019 target), as evidenced by the fact that Lotte’s World 15 118 Towers store, which is larger in size, is generating yearly revenue of about 10 5 W570bn (as of 2017). But the company may achieve this sooner than 106 0 expected once Shinsegae launches its Gangnam store and a cluster of -5 duty-free stores is created in Gangnam area. 93 -10 -15 81 -20 17.08 17.11 18.02 18.05 18.08 Valuation re-rating could take some time

- The aggressive advertisements and sales promotions rolled out in connection to the newly launched duty-free business will inevitably weigh on the company’s earnings, but the new business venture will also provide an opportunity for Hyundai Department Store to escape value trap status as a department store operator. That said, it will take some time for Hyundai Department Store to attract sufficient customer traffic and close the gap with market leaders.

The RIM is considered less subjective than similar valuation models such as DDM, DCF, and EVA. Note 2: The RIM reflects consolidated subsidiaries’ earnings not in their entirety but only for the stake controlled by the company. Note 3: The required rate of return (i.e., cost of equity) is the rate of return expected by the shareholders who take risks. It is derived by the capital asset price model: Cost of equity = Risk-free interest rate + Beta * Market risk premium. Note 4: The yield on five-year government bonds was used as the proxy for the risk-free interest rate. Note 5: Market risk premium refers to the gap between the expected return on the market portfolio and the risk-free interest rate. It has been lowered from 6-8% to 3-5% in reflection of the current low-growth environment. Note 6: The terminal growth was assumed to be zero.

Duty-free

Earnings blossom with MLB brand

Foray into Asia will Introduced to Korea in 1997, MLB emerged as a bread-and-butter brand for F&F late last help achieve year, driven by strong results in the duty-free sector. Its annual per-store revenue soared balanced revenue from W0.7-0.8bn to over W1.0bn in 2017, mainly driven by the revenue hike at duty-free mix stores, and as things stand, it is forecast to jump to W1.7bn in 2018. As of now, MLB has presence in 17 duty-free stores (including those located in downtown Seoul), with the number expected to rise by one or two by the end of 2018. We predict revenue to grow at the current rapid pace, given that daigou have just begun buying MLB products at duty-free stores.

In order to achieve a balanced revenue mix, the company has begun exporting MLB to nine Asian countries including Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, or directly entering those markets. The company is targeting overseas sales of about W25bn in 2019. This does not appear difficult to achieve given that its overseas sales increased to W4.5bn in 2Q18. If successful, MLB will be generating 6% of revenue from overseas sales, significantly offsetting the slowdown in domestic duty-free revenue.

TP (W) 115,000 Note 1: Under the residual income model (RIM), we add the current shareholders’ equity to the residual income based on the earnings forecast for the next ten years before adding the result to the residual income after the forecasting period to derive the value of shareholders’ stakes. The RIM is considered less subjective than similar valuation models such as DDM, DCF, and EVA. Note 2: The RIM reflects consolidated subsidiaries’ earnings not in their entirety but only for the stake controlled by the company. Note 3: The required rate of return (i.e., cost of equity) is the rate of return expected by the shareholders who take risks. It is derived by the capital asset price model: Cost of equity = Risk-free interest rate + Beta * Market risk premium. Note 4: The yield on five-year government bonds was used as the proxy for the risk-free interest rate. Note 5: Market risk premium refers to the gap between the expected return on the market portfolio and the risk-free interest rate. It has been lowered from 6-8% to 3-5% in reflection of the current low-growth environment. Note 6: The terminal growth was assumed to be zero.
