Holding Companies Right now, wrong then: (6) Brand royalties

Ownership restructuring has been an overriding theme of 2016. We anticipate that large conglomerates, including , will continue to pursue ownership restructuring in 2017 in an effort to secure competitiveness and solidify control over Overweight (Maintain) their groups. In this report, we continue examining the areas where current standards regarding ownership restructuring ―which were once considered adequate ―need revision, and forecast changes to come.

Yoon -seok Seo +822 -768 -4127 Brand royalties, a stable income source, to be used for dividend payments [email protected] Brand royalties have diversified the income sources of holding companies, which previously relied solely on dividends from subsidiaries. Dividend income is

contingent upon the subsidiary ’s net profit, which is affected by a number of

operating and non-operating factors outside of revenue. In contrast, royalty income is directly tied to the subsidiary ’s revenue, and thus offers a more stable source of income for holding companies. Furthermore, while raising the dividend payout of a subsidiary causes cash to flow out of the group, royalties, on the other hand, are only paid to the holding company. Thus, an increase in royalty rates would be a more effective way for holdin g companies to improve their cash flow. We believe holding companies are likely to take advantage of brand royalties and use them to increase their dividend payments.

Most domestic holding companies, including LG Corp., SK Holdings, and CJ Corp., currently receive brand royalties from their subsidiaries. Some non-holding conglomerates, including Doosan Corp., Hanwha Corp. and POSCO, also collect brand royalties. We believe such companies decided to charge brand royalties in order to avoid potentially violating the Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act (MRFTA) and the Corporate Tax Act against unfair trade practices.

Samsung Group & brand royalties: Samsung C&T expected to take over brand ownership Unlike many domestic conglomerates, Samsung Group ’s trademark is co-owned by 13 of its affiliates, including Samsung Electronics (SEC) and Samsung C&T, with their stakes determined in proportion to revenue. Affiliates that are not registered as co- owners (Samsung Welstory, S1, Renault Samsung, etc.) are believed to pay a certain royalty fee. Each year, Samsung Welstory discloses inter-group transactions based on the sole sourcing contract on Samsung trademark royalties. The disclosure s reveal that royalty fees amount to 0.5% of the company’s revenue, excluding sales from transactions with group affiliates with trademark ownership.

Generally, a holding company (or the de-facto holding company of a corporate group) manages all aspects related to brands and collects royalties from affiliates. As such, we believe Samsung’s brand royalties will mostly be collected by Samsung C&T, the de-facto holding company, going forward. However, this would require rearrangement of co-ownership. Samsung C&T should be able to take over other affiliates’ rights by evaluating the brand value (intangible asset) and paying the affiliates an appropriate amount for relinquishing their rights. Alternatively, Samsung C&T could pursue spin-offs/split-offs and mergers among affiliates with brand ownership in order to take over their rights without incurring expenses.

Sources of income of holding companies

Income breakdown

A typical holding company (i.e., one that does not operate its own businesses) derives income mainly from 1) dividends, 2) brand royalties, 3) property rental, and 4) other income.

1) Dividends: The MRFTA states that a holding company is a corporation that exists for the purpose of controlling another company by owning shares. Currently, dividends paid by subsidiaries account for the lion’s share of holding companies’ income.

2) Brand royalties : Holding companies receive royalties for the use of its brands to keep the brand value solid. Depending on the company, royalties are booked as trademark royalties or brand fees.

3) Rental income : Rental income comes from property owned by holding companies. By its nature, rental income includes rent from non-subsidiaries.

4) Other income : Holding companies also generate advisory service commissions and training service commissions from subsidiaries, as well as gains on the sale of subsidiaries. Meanwhile, operating holding companies can generate merchandise sales.

Understanding brand royalties

Brand royalties, a stable income source, to be used for dividend payment

Brand royalties have diversified the income sources of holding companies, which previously relied solely on dividends from subsidiaries. Dividend income is contingent upon the subsidiary’s net profit, which is affected by a number of operating and non-operating factors outside of revenue. In contrast, royalty income is directly tied to the subsidiary’s revenue, and thus offers a more stable source of income for holding companies. Furthermore, while raising the dividend payout of a subsidiary causes cash to flow out of the group, royalties, on the other hand, are only paid to the holding company. Thus, an increase in royalty rates would be a more effective way for holding companies to improve their cash flow.

We believe holding companies are likely to take advantage of brand royalties and use them to increase their dividend payments.

Understanding brand royalties: (1) Collecting brand royalties

A brand (trademark) is defined as any name, symbol, or logo used to identify and distinguish the goods or services of a company. Brands are recognized as intangible assets and can be licensed to a third party in exchange for royalties.

Simply put, brand royalties can be seen as a form of compensation for the direct use of a brand and for the services performed to enhance its value. Generally, a holding company (or the de-facto holding company of a corporate group) manages all aspects related to brands and collects royalties, which are considered necessary to manage the brand and improve its value. Brand royalties are agreed upon in a contract between the holding company and subsidiary, or in articles of incorporation. Royalty rates vary widely by company, but they are typically charged as a percentage of revenue.

Understanding brand royalties: (2) Holding companies’ obligation to collect royalties

Most holding companies, as brand owners, are restricted from licensing their brands to subsidiaries for free.

Under Korea’s Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act, assisting an affiliated person or another company by providing a company asset without receiving compensation (or transacting under considerably favorable terms) is deemed an unfair practice (Article 23.1.7). Hence, granting a subsidiary the right to use a brand without any compensation would be considered an unfair trade practice that improperly benefits the subsidiary.

The Corporate Tax Act also designates royalty-free licensing as an unfair practice that unjustly reduces the tax burden of a corporation. A subsidiary using a brand without paying appropriate compensation can be subject to a tax penalty under Article 52 of the “Repudiation of Wrongful Calculation” provision. For example, in 2010, Kumho Petrochemical was hit with a W8bn tax fine by the National Tax Service after failing to charge group affiliates for using its trademark, Kumho, of which the company is a co-owner.

Table 3. Licensing of corporate brands to subsidiaries for free is legally restricted Article Details

Assisting a person with a special interest or other companies by providing advanced payment, loans, Fair Trade Article 23.1.7 manpower, immovable assets, securities, goods, services, rights to intangible properties, etc. thereto, or Act (Prohibition of Unfair Trade Practices) by transacting under substantially favorable terms

Where the head of the tax office having jurisdiction over the place of tax payment or the commissioner of the competent regional tax office deems that the tax burden of a domestic corporation has been Corporate Article 52 unjustly reduced through the wrongful calculation of the amount of income of the domestic corporation Tax Act (Repudiation of Wrongful Calculation) in transactions with a related party prescribed by presidential decree, he/she may calculate the amount of income of the domestic corporation for each business year regardless of the wrongful calculation of the amount of income of such domestic corporation Source: Mirae Asset Daewoo Research

Current status

1) Holding companies

Most domestic holding companies, including LG Corp., SK Holdings, and CJ Corp., currently receive brand royalties from their subsidiaries, typically as a fixed percentage of revenue after advertising and promotional expenses. Meanwhile, the Fair Trade Commission (FTC) has said that the dividends or brand royalties holding companies receive from their subsidiaries will not be subject to the government’s regulations on related-party transactions. Thus, we believe holding companies’ brand royalties will steadily increase in line with the revenue of subsidiaries.

2) Corporate groups without a holding company structure

We believe the majority of non-holding corporate groups do not collect any brand royalties. However, a few groups without a holding company structure, namely Doosan, Hanwha, and POSCO, receive brand royalties in order to avoid potentially violating the MRFTA and Corporate Tax Act.

Doosan Corp. has collected brand royalties since converting to a holding company in 2009. In April 2015, the was excluded from the list of corporate groups with a holding company structure, as asset growth at the operating unit had resulted in the total value of the holding company’s subsidiary shares falling below 50% of total parent-basis assets. However, Doosan Corp. has continued receiving brand royalties as a trademark rights holder.

Hanwha Corp. holds trademark rights as the de-facto holding company of the . The company works to improve brand value via advertising and public relations activities, and manages brand-related affairs, including applications, registration, and maintenance. In July 2015, the company reached brand licensing agreements with affiliates using the Hanwha brand and has received brand royalties based on annual revenue.

POSCO, meanwhile, has collected royalties from affiliates using the POSCO brand since 2012. The company recognized royalties of W8.5bn in 2012 and W8.7bn in 2013. According to media reports, POSCO charges royalties as the lower of either: 1) [the affiliate ’s revenue in the previous year] x [royalty rate] x [an adjustment factor reflecting group affiliate revenue], or 2) [the affiliate ’s EBITDA in the previous year] x 1%. The royalty rate varies by affiliate, ranging between 0.01% and 0.3%, and royalties are collected on a quarterly basis.
