J Contentree (036420 KQ) Theater franchise and TV content to drive growth following business restructuring Media 2Q15 review: Top line contracts, but profits grow by double digits In 2Q, J Contentree’s revenue declined YoY, but operating profit and net profit Results Comment expanded 30% and 86% YoY, respectively, backed by restructuring effects and cost control. August 19, 2015 The theater franchise business (Megabox) contributed 62% of 2Q consolidated revenue. Theater attendance fell in 2Q as a result of the MERS outbreak and the temporary closure of a theater site (due to construction). However, market conditions have been (Maintain) Buy picking up in 3Q, with nationwide theater attendance increasing 18% YoY in July and two domestic films performing very well in the box office in August. Meanwhile, the Target Price (12M, W) 7,000 Megabox site construction is expected to be completed in September. The TV content business accounted for 29% of 2Q consolidated revenue. Drama Share Price (08/18/15, W) 5,690 production revenue contracted, mainly because of JTBC’s recent programming overhaul. We believe a total of four dramas will be produced for JTBC this year, down Expected Return 23% from six in 2014. On the other hand, content distribution revenue should grow. Domestically, the distribution of JTBC content is steadily increasing, while on the overseas front, revenue from the entertainment show Off to School , which was co- OP (15F, Wbn) 36 produced with the Chinese firm iQiyi, should be booked from 3Q. Consensus OP (15F, Wbn) 39 More authority over Megabox and restructuring-driven profitability gains EPS Growth (15F, %) - Looking forward, we believe investors should closely watch 1) the company’s post- Market EPS Growth (15F, %) 25.6 acquisition business plan for Megabox, and 2) business restructuring, which shou ld lead P/E (15F, x) 31.8 to profitability improvements. Market P/E (15F, x) 11.0 Megabox: On August 6 th , J Contentree purchased a 96% stake in Korea Multiplex KOSDAQ 699.80 Investment Corporation (KMIC), the largest shareholder of Megabox, essentially raising Market Cap (Wbn) 649 its stake in the multiplex operator from 46% to 98%.

While revenue is temporarily declining in t he process of the Megabox acquisition and business restructuring, we note that margins 130 are improving. In 2016, we expect operations to stabilize and growth to resume in both the theater franchise and TV content businesses.

Korea Investment Holdings (071050 KS) Better positioned to take advantage of online-only banks and ISAs 2Q15 review: Net profit of W148.8bn (+42.8% QoQ) Securities Korea Investment Holdings (KIH) reported 2Q net profit of W148.8bn, significantly beating our expectation. Profit growth was well diversified across all subsidiaries. Results Comment The brokerage subsidiary delivered its highest-ever quarterly profit, bolstered by a more than 30% QoQ increase in brokerage and wealth management commissions. Non- August 19, 2015 brokerage subsidiaries also performed strongly. The hedge fund business was boosted by increased valuations of its portfolios (as well as KIH’s seed capital), while the venture capital subsidiary saw gains from liquidated funds. The savings bank subsidiary benefited (Maintain) Buy from the reversal of provisions. Meanwhile, KIH’s interest expenses declined thanks to refinancing. Target Price (12M, W) 80,000 Online-only banks and ISAs present growth opportunities Share Price (8/18/15, W) 65,100 KIH is currently working to establish an online-only bank. We believe online-only banks present an opportunity for brokerage firms to expand their assets and customers. In a near-zero interest rate environment, online-only banks can act as gateways for Expected Return 23% brokerage firms to capture customers moving away from bank deposits and other interest rate-linked products. In Japan, many online banks have achieved growth by taking advantage of synergies with their brokerage affiliates. For example, Daiwa Next OP (15F, Wbn) 560 Bank, one of Japan’s fastest-growing online banks, has found success by luring Consensus OP (15F, Wbn) 453 customers with higher interest rates and deposit insurance and then cross-selling the high-margin products of its parent company, Daiwa Securities.

  • Chaebols and Firm Dynamics in Korea
    Chaebols and firm dynamics in Korea Philippe Aghion, Sergei Guriev, Kangchul Jo Abstract We study firm dynamics in Korea before and after the 1997-98 Asian crisis and pro-competitive reforms that reduced the dominance of chaebols. We find that in industries that were dominated by chaebols before the crisis, labor productivity and TFP of non-chaebol firms increased markedly after the reforms (relative to other industries). Furthermore, entry of non-chaebol firms increased significantly in all industries after the reform. Finally, after the crisis, non-chaebol firms also significantly increased their patenting activity (relative to non-chaebol firms). These results are in line with a neo-Schumpeterian view of transition from a growth model based on investment in existing technologies to an innovation-based model.
