SM Entertainment (041510 KQ) A temporary lull before a strong bounce- back Entertainment 1Q earnings pullback only temporary due to a lull in concerts For 1Q, SM Entertainment posted consolidated revenue of W50bn (+0.8% YoY) and Results Comment operating profit of W5.1bn (-72% YoY). The sharp contraction in operating profit despite flat top-line growth was largely a result of: 1) yen weakness eroding royalty May 31, 2013 income repatriated from Japan, and 2) a temporary void of Japanese concerts, which are recognized six months later. The last major concert held in 2012 was the August SM Town dome tour in Tokyo, and the first large-scale concert for 2013 was the Girls’ (Maintain) Buy Generation tour that lasted from February through April. Margins were further hurt by one-off expenses for SM Japan’s system development (accounting, etc.) and SM C&C’s Target Price (12M, W) 58,000 initial investments for video content production. We estimate 1Q overseas revenue was around W17.1bn (parent-based), significantly down from W26.7bn in 1Q12. Share Price (05/30/13, W) 38,600 1.54mn in-Japan concert attendance confirmed so far, nearly double that of 2012 Expected Return 50% Since earlier this year, SM Entertainment has been setting new records in several of its earnings indicators. First, in addition to a five-dome Japanese tour, it has been confirmed that TVXQ will perform on August 17th and 18th at the Nissan Stadium, which has a OP (13F, Wbn) 69 maximum seating capacity of 75,000. The firm’s 2013 Japanese concerts confirmed so Consensus OP (13F, Wbn) 70 far have a combined maximum capacity of 1.54mn, which is nearly double the annual figure of 2012 (900,000). EPS Growth (13F, %) 37.3 Market EPS Growth (13F, %) 21.6 Furthermore, SM Entertainment’s dome (stadium) concerts as a percentage of total P/E (13F, x) 14.1 concerts have increased from 46.3% in 2012 to 84.2% in 2013, a positive development Market P/E (13F, x) 9.6 given that dome tours tend to generate royalty income (per 10,000 attendees) twice as KOSDAQ 581.13 high as that of regular concerts (capacity of over 40,000 per concert for dome tours vs. 10,000-15,000 for regular tours). In 2H, a number of ex-Japan tours are also set to take Market Cap (Wbn) 797 place, including Girls’ Generation world tour, SM Town, and Super Junior’s Super Show 5. Shares Outstanding (mn) 21 Free Float (%) 78.2 The company is also likely to expand its Chinese presence in 2H. The new boy band EXO Foreign Ownership (%) 11.7 (comprising of six Korean and six Chinese members) has been gaining wide popularity in Beta (12M) 0.16 the Greater China region following its single release in 2012. On June 3rd, the band is 52-Week Low (W) 36,000 expected to release its first full-length album, which will feature Chinese songs. 52-Week High (W) 71,600 Lower TP by 19% to W58,000 in light of yen fluctuation (%) 1M 6M 12M We lowered our 2013F-14F EPS by 5% and 8.4%, respectively, after reflecting major Absolute -8.9 -16.6 -4.7 earnings variables observed in 1Q results. We incorporated more conservative Relative -10.7 -20.1 -13.1 assumptions to our target price, largely due to the uncertainty of the yen’s fluctuations. Share price 180 KOSDAQ In deriving our target price, we changed our peer-group comparison from US media and 160 entertainment players (average 2013F P/E of 29x) to global media and entertainment 140 stocks. Our target P/E is 21.5x, a 10% discount to the 2013F average global media and 120 entertainment multiple (24x). As such, we cut our target price to W58,000 from 100 W72,000. 80 5/12 9/12 1/13 5/13 Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd.
