Operating profit was in line with our projection (W8.6bn) and the consensus (W8.1bn).

We believe that quarterly operating profit Market P/E (18F, x) 8.4 will break the W10bn mark for the first time in 4Q18. We look for strength across KOSDAQ 670.82 album/digital content, concerts, and global platforms, driven by the active presence of the company’s full lineup. Specifically, we see: domestic album sales of 1.2mn ; DAY6’s Market Cap (Wbn) 1,075 world tour (15 performances); TWICE’s Japanese shows (four performances); and Shares Outstanding (mn) 35 GOT7’s Japanese hall tour (nine performances) .
