Company Report Jul 3, 2018 CJ O Shopping (035760 KS)

Retail Giant in media-commerce

2Q18E preview  We estimate CJ O Shopping’s (CJOS) consolidated sales at W572.7bn (+2% YoY), OP at W56.6bn (-13% YoY), and net profit from controlling interest (NPCI) at W39.4bn (+21% YoY). CJ O Shopping and CJ E&M merged on Jul 1. We estimate their combined 2Q18 sales at W1.04tn (+6% YoY), OP at W83.9bn (-5% YoY), and NPCI at W69.4bn (-84% YoY). NPCI likely fell, as CJ E&M saw W500.9bn in asset valuation gains after Netmarble’s rights

offering in 2Q17. By division, broadcasting OP likely came to W25.7bn (Studio Dragon W8.9bn, other W16.8bn), film -W1.3bn, music W2.0bn, live entertainment W1.0bn, home

Rating HOLD (I) shopping (parent) W42.2bn, and CJ Hello W15.5bn.

Target price W289,000 (I) Post-merger investment points Current price (Jun 29) W279,600  1) Cleared uncertainties: Amid investor doubts over post-merger synergies, shares of both Upside potential 3% companies have remained below that at which shareholders can exercise appraisal rights

(E&M W93,153; CJOS W227,398). However, the total amount of exercised appraisal rights 1685.8 came to W503.9bn, just above the firm’s budget of W500.0bn. Thus, the merger was Market cap (Wbn) (excluding new shares) 21,926,384 successfully concluded. 2) CJ Hello disposal: The sunset clause on regulations capping pay Shares outstanding (including new shares) TV operators’ market share at one third of the total came into effect on Jun 27, 2018. In line Avg daily T/O (2M, Wbn) 8 with our telecom sector report on June 18, 2018, we believe there is now visibility on Avg daily volume (2M, shrs) 31,997 Korean telcos’ acquisitions of cable TV operators. The merged entity (CJOS and E&M) will 52-week high (won) 279,600 dispose of CJ Hello if it receives a good offer. 3) “Produce 48”: The third season of the 52-week low (won) 183,000 mega-hit audition show has raised expectations. First, through OTT video streaming service

Foreign ownership (%) 23.9 “Global Tving,” viewers around the world, except those in Korea, Japan, and China, can

Major shareholders (%) now watch the show in real time and enjoy other content. If this generates a meaningful level of traffic, the company will monetize Global Tving by introducing diverse revenue CJ Corp & others 42.7 streams, such as advertising, content sales, and commerce. Second, a joint project

between Korea and Japan will launch the show’s final 12-member girl group, boosting the Stock performance company’s music production revenue. According to media reports, the contract term for the (%) 1M 3M 12M girl group will be two and half years, enough time to generate sales from music and Absolute 27.8 25.1 44.9 concerts overseas. 4) Long-term synergies: We expect to see meaningful synergies when Relative 35.9 32.4 18.3 Abs (US$) 23.5 19.6 48.4 post-merger integration finishes, traffic to Tving increases, and the global digital content production capacity of “Dia TV” and “Dada Studio” improves. In 2018, many of its shows, such as “Youn’s Kitchen 2,” “Newlyweds Diary,” and “Mister Sunshine” feature “Odense,” CJOS’ private-label tableware. If CJOS sells its private-label products via a media commerce channel, that channel’s margin is likely to be higher than the firm’s existing home shopping margin. Although the company has to plan, manufacture, and manage inventory of private-label products, their COGS-to-sales ratio is low, and thus, margin is high.

Target price  We reinstate coverage at HOLD and a target price of W289,000, based on the sum-of- the-parts method. We value the company’s stake in CJ Hello at W275.6bn (6-month average market cap of W681.5bn x 25% discount x 53.9% stake). Assuming CJ Hello’s M&A value at W1.9tn (4.29mn subscribers x W450,000), the company’s stake in CJ Hello is valued at W1.04tn (M&A value W1.9tn x 53.9% stake). Reflecting this stake value, the company’s target price should rise to W324,000. Our target price W289,000 does not reflect the impact of post-merger synergies. CJ O Shopping (035760 KS)
