August 9, 2018 Shinsegae International Fact check about Shinsegae International’s cosmetics business outlook 1) Intensifying competition in the duty-free market is positive for Shinsegae International Recently, investment sentiment on duty-free operators has largely weakened on concerns over intensifying competition. However, Lotte Group is planning the IPO of Lotte Duty Free, and Shinsegae DF is weighed down by a higher cost burden resulting from the opening of additional stores in Gangnam and Terminal 1 of Incheon International Airport. Thus, we do not expect to see a game of chicken in the industry sparked by companies’ market share expansion efforts, like commission hikes. Even if competition becomes more intense, Shinsegae International - as a content provider - should be able to boost sales volume on the back of platform operators’ expansion of discounts. Any increase in commissions or discounts leads to a higher cost burden solely for duty-free companies, not product providers. 2) For VIDIVICI, monthly average revenue is more important than monthly revenue The monthly revenue trend of VIDIVICI is gaining attention. However, given that consumer goods tend to display strong seasonality, the trend of monthly average revenue by quarter, rather than the trend of monthly revenue, should provide a more meaningful insight into the company’s operating performances. VIDIVICI’s monthly average revenue came in at W6.7bn in 2Q, and is anticipated to have exceeded W10bn in 2Q. 3) Low revenue contribution form Shinsegae DF Approximately 80% of VIDIVICI’s revenue is generated from duty-free stores. However, revenue from Shinsegae DF store (one in Myeongdong) accounts for less than 20% of duty- free revenue and just 10-15% of the total revenue of the brand. The revenue contribution from Shinsegae DF could increase further, due to the brand’s additional opening at the Shinsegae DF Gangnam store in July. However, the extent of the increase should be limited, as the brand is scheduled to open in three more non-Shinsegae duty-free shops in 2H. Table 1.
