Media outlook for 2015
MARKET UPDATE Poland | Media | 11-December-2014 Polish Media Media outlook for 2015 Polish ad market spending reached PLN 5.1bn in 9M14, +2.6% yoy. GDP, domestic demand and private consumption have all performed relatively well since the beginning of 2014 and they are the main factors affecting advertisers’ confidence. As a result, we expect Polish ad market dynamics to remain positive in 4Q14E, +4% overall, with internet returning to a leading position, +8% yoy, followed by TV and radio (both +6% yoy). This would imply 2.9% growth for the whole ad market in FY2014E. When looking at 2015E, we expect the total ad market to grow by 4.7%, with outdoor as the fastestgrowing segment at +10%, internet at +8%, TV at +6.5%, radio at +4%, cinema at +2% and press at -11.6%. We see some interesting potential catalysts for the media market ahead, including: (1) the outcome of TVN’s possible sale; (2) consolidation of the internet advertising market; (3) Parliamentary & Presidential elections; and (4) discussions surrounding new media and allocation of MUX. We maintain our BUY rating on TVN and increase our FV by 24% to PLN 17.9, from PLN 14.5. We also reiterate our BUY on Agora with FV of PLN 10.3 (from PLN 10.2). TV: We expect TV to remain the dominant ad channel in Poland (ca. 50% stake in the pie) despite the increasing power of the internet. We expect fragmentation (payTV and DTT thematic channels) to dilute the audience share of the biggest TV channels but so far TV groups have managed this issue by launching their own thematic channels. Internet: We expect internet to remain the fastest-growing ad channel in Poland as it enables a high degree of personalization and segmentation, increasing the effectiveness of ads. We see increasing competition between the two biggest internet portals, Onet.pl and Wirtualna Polska WP.pl. as well as the beginnings of a consolidation process (WP.pl recently acquired the dobreprogramy.pl and money.pl thematic portals while Onet.pl acquired NK.pl).

However, we also see some signs of a slowdown related to the declining base. Agora’s copy sales declined again in October, -10% YoY. Radio: We think radio should remain a stable ad channel, not affected by major structural changes with stable ca. 8% share in ad market. Outdoor: The performance of outdoor advertising in 2015 should be determined by mostly by Presidential & Parliamentary elections where we expect total ad budget at PLN 80m (1% of total ad market), where historically ca. 30% pertained to outdoor adding an incremental ca. PLN 24m revenues in 2015E (ca. 5% of total outdoor) Agora, with a ca. 32% market share, should be among the biggest beneficiaries (we exp incremental PLN 9m revs and PLN 1.5m, EBITDA in 2015E). Cinema: The performance of the cinema segment, both in terms of admissions and ad revenues, is primarily determined by the movie line-up. So far 2014 looks like a good year, with ticket sales +6.4% yoy in 9M14. Good ticket sales for “Bogowie” and the release of the 2nd part of The Hobbit bode well for 4Q14 and we expect a record-high of 39m admissions in FY14; however, given this high base, we would expect 2015 to be flat at best. NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO ANY US PERSON OR TO ANY PERSON OR ADDRESS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (v1.0.8.0) 14% upside Fair Value Polish ad market outlook Along with Poland’s GDP, the Polish ad market has been going through a recovery since the beginning of 2014. According to Starlink, a media research house, in 9M14 Polish ad market spending reached PLN 5.1bn, up by 2.6% yoy. Internet remains the fastest-growing ad channel, up 6.5% YoY in 9M14, but TV is close behind at +6.3%, followed by radio at 5.8%. Outdoor dropped by 4.2%, cinema by 9.4% and press by 14.8%, while magazines fell by 12.5% and dailies by 18.9%. In 3Q14, TV was the fastest-growing ad channel, up by +9.6% YoY, outpacing internet with a +6.5% YoY dynamic. This is the strongest quarterly growth for these segments observed since at least 2002, when this data first started being collected. In our view this raises the question of whether this might be the first sign of an internet ad segment hiccup. However, we think the strong performance of TV in 3Q14 reflects a combination of elements. Recent sporting events like the Winter Olympics in Sochi and World Cup in Brazil are the most important, as they were broadcast exclusively on public TV with predefined ad air-time dedicated to event sponsors. Hence, TV ad budgets built up and when the Autumn TV season came around they were unlocked, increasing growth in the TV ad segment to almost a double-digit pace.

On the other hand, Poland will see two major elections: Presidential and Parliamentary.

In 2011, mass media promotion reached PLN 52m and in the prior election in 2007 it reached PLN 60m. Despite their nationwide scope, Presidential elections are less than a third as expensive as Parliamentary elections in terms of advertising spending.

PLN 80m to the ad market (+ ca. 1pp of growth), with the highest spending in the outdoor, TV, internet and press segments. TV – 2015 outlook Keeping in mind the high TV consumption in Poland (ca. 250 min/day), very high payTV penetration (ca. 70%+ households) and Poland’s population density and distribution (rural areas without access to many forms of entertainment), we expect TV to remain the dominant ad channel (ca. 50% stake in the pie) despite the increasing power of the internet. We maintain our view that growth in internet is and will be at the expense of falling press, not TV.

A good example can be seen in the US, which is the biggest market for Netflix, one of the biggest worldwide OTT services. Despite Netflix’s rapidly growing base, payTV providers like DirecTV are also growing their client base and ARPUs.

We expect thematic channels to gain popularity, but the biggest TV groups like Polsat and TVN have already managed this issue by launching their own thematic channels. For example, TVN closed its TVN CNBC business channel and replaced it with TVN24 Biznes I Swiat.

However, we do not expect any major decisions to be made in 2015. Regarding MUX, some of the potential ideas under discussion are: (1) create space for more DTT thematic channels; (2) keep the existing number of channels unchanged and dedicate the remaining MUXes to existing channels to upgrade them to HD standard; (3) dedicate MUX for telecom services. Public TV is promoting the idea of dedicating MUX purely for TVP channels. Private TV companies are strongly opposed as it would monopolize the market. Private TV broadcasters are also against the idea of creating more DTT TV channels as diluting TV audience share would not cover the high cost of DTT TV transmission. Regarding the media law, there has been a proposal to switch media monthly/yearly payments into a media tax to be paid by households together with the electricity bill. However, in light of the upcoming Parliamentary and Presidential elections, we would not expect any substantial discussion of additional taxes before early 2016. Internet – 2015 outlook Internet should remain the fastest growing ad channel in Poland as it enables a high degree of personalization and segmentation, which increases the effectiveness of internet ads. We expect the internet ad market to grow by 8% in 2015E and in the following years.

The main reason for the differing dynamics between dailies and magazines is that the former have a very short lifecycle and can be easily replaced with web content, whereas magazines usually include higherquality content and photos. We think consumers still treat magazines as a form of entertainment, whereas dailies are viewed more as a commodity easily replaced by the internet.

Comments from media companies indicate that ad budgets for these elections were a bit lower than in previous years. During the 3Q14 results conference call, Agora’s CEO hypothesized that political parties may have refrained from heavy ad spending in 2014 so as to build up their budgets for the upcoming 2015 elections. Looking at examples from past Parliamentary and Presidential elections, we expect the 2015E ad market to be supported by ca. PLN 80m in incremental ad spending, where ca. PLN 60m should come from Parliamentary elections and ca. PLN 20m from Presidential elections. Looking at the spending mix between different ad segments shown in Figure 8, where outdoor accounted for 34% of Parliamentary and 28% of Presidential in the last election (vs its usual ad market share at 6-7%), we expect outdoor to be supported by ca. PLN 24m in incremental revenues in 2015E, which accounts for 5% of total annual outdoor ad spending.

More importantly, as of 2013 AMS is the market leader in citylights and backlights displays, with a ca. 65% market share.

AMS’ high share in the citylights format and the decreasing popularity of the traditional outdoor format mean that AMS has outperformed the broad outdoor market recently. AMS’ presence in the outdoor format should soon increase further thanks to the Warsaw Project, which entails the construction of 1580 citylight displays in bus shelters in Warsaw over 2014-2016 with total capex at PLN 80m.

The clear advantages of radio are a stable audience and lower cost than TV. As can be seen in the chart below, a slight reduction in radio’s share of the Polish ad market, from ca. 8.5% in 2005 to 8% in 2014E, is not a result of a decline in absolute terms (as radio ad spending increased to PLN 575m in 2014E from PLN 480m in 2005) but rather a more rapid increase in the broader Polish ad market.

In 3Q14 alone, ticket sales reached 8.2m, -1.1% YoY. We expect 4Q14 to be good as well, supported by very good sales for the movies “Bogowie” (so far ca. 2m tickets sold), “Miasto44” (ca. 1.7m tickets sold), “Sluzby Specjalne (ca. 0.5m tickets sold) and The Hobbit, which will launch just after Christmas. As a result, after a 5.6% ticket sales decline in 2013 to 36.3m, we expect 39m in 2014E, scoring 7.4% growth. We expect ticket sales of 11.6m in 4Q14E alone (+11.5% yoy).

TVN’s controlling shareholders, ITI and Canal+, are currently analysing potential exit options and Time Warner and Discovery are among the potential buyers, according to TVN’s CEO. We think acquiring the TVN asset could present a unique opportunity for a strategic investor considering entering the media market in CEE due to Poland’s large domestic market, TV’s position in the ad pie, and TVN’s content and market share. We would therefore expect a potential acquirer to pay a premium to current international TV multiples (BBG 14E/15E EV/EBITDA 11.3x/9.8x), which then could be recovered by post-acquisition synergies mostly in the area of lower TV content costs. We maintain our BUY rating and increase our FV to PLN 17.9 (from PLN 14.5) on the back of: (1) lower capex over the forecast period; and (2) lower WACC. We have trimmed our 14E/15E EBITDA forecasts by 8%/7% on lower exp for associates. ITI and Canal+ consider exit option: We think the sale of TVN by ITI and Canal+ would offer a unique opportunity for a global media company looking to enter the Polish ad market. We estimate the value of the market at ca. PLN 7.5bn pa. Of this, TV accounts for ca. 50%, with payTV penetration in Poland among the highest in the EU at ca. 75%. Ad spending per capita in Poland is at USD 67 vs USD 146 in the Czech Rep. and USD 85 in Hungary in 2013. We think this gap is very wide (probably too wide) considering Poland’s GDP growth prospects and the strength of domestic demand. In our view, a controlling stake in TVN, which would give a potential acquirer access to 22% of Poland’s TV audience share and 33% of the TV ad market, would entail a significant acquisition premium. TV-exposed stocks in our peer group are trading at 2014E/2015E/2016E EV/EBITDA of 11.3x/9.8x/8.9x. Based on TVN’s expected EBITDA levels and the book value of NC+/Onet.pl associates, we think a hypothetical transaction value could reach ca. PLN 20/sh, assuming a 15-20% transaction premium.

TVN expects adj EBITDA (incl. dividends from associates) of PLN 520m in 2014, PLN 590m in 2015 and PLN 630m in 2016, in line with our expectations for 14-15. TVN expects capex at ca. PLN 60m in 2014, PLN 70m in 2015 and PLN 60m in 2016 and plans a PLN 225-250m share buyback in 2015. Promising outlook for the TV ad market: Despite ongoing audience pressure from TV market fragmentation (development of thematic channels also on DTT) and potential pressure from the growing popularity of OTT services, we believe TV has good prospects in Poland. This is reflected in steadily increasing daily TV consumption and high payTV penetration. We expect the TV ad market to maintain its ca. 50% share, growing by 6.2% in 2014E and 6.5% in 2015E. Sound cash distribution: The planned buyback of PLN 225-250m in 15E implies a yield of 3.8-4.8% while a payout ratio of 50% implies a DY of 3.2-3.8%.

Page 12 of 30 TVN’s Mid-Term Financial Outlook On November 19th 2014, TVN presented its mid-term outlook with the following macro, operating and financial forecasts: GDP growth in Poland will amount to approx 3.0–3.5% pa in 20142016; TV advertising market growth should remain relatively stable in the low to mid-single digits in 2014-2016, while the online advertising market is expected to post growth rates in the high-single digits over 2014-2016; TVN Group’s full-year consolidated revenues are likely to grow by low-single digits in 2014 and accelerate to mid- to high-single digits of between 5% and 9% in both 2015 and 2016; Based on the assumptions outlined above, together with continued positive developments in associate distribution expectations, TVN forecasts consolidated adjusted EBITDA of approx. PLN 520m in 2014, PLN 590m in 2015 and PLN 630m in 2016. In addition, TVN assumes the following in terms of investing and financing activities: Proportionate share buyback of PLN 225-250m in 2015, with dividend paid in 2016 with a 50% payout ratio of consolidated net profit in 2015; Capex of approx. PLN 60m in 2014, PLN 70m in 2015 and PLN 60m in 2016, with continued low cash taxes payable; Operating cash flow in excess of capex, taxes, interest payments and shareholder distributions in both 2015 and 2016 will be applied primarily against debt reduction; No material capital market transactions are expected to occur through the end of 2016; No material new financings are expected, although should an opportunity arise to refinance existing bond debt as a result of favourable market conditions, and/or positive circumstances arising from a potential TVN change of control, then a refinancing could occur; EUR/PLN exchange rate development in line with the current financial market consensus. Looking beyond 2016 and assuming that Poland’s GDP continues to grow at a rate of between 3% and 4%, TVN expects to achieve a 2017-2019 revenue CAGR of approx. 5%. TVN emphasized that any assessment of GDP and revenues assumes no major macroeconomic disruption (e.g. sovereign debt crisis in Europe, geopolitical instability in neighbouring countries, global economic uncertainty). Adj EBITDA is calculated as core TV EBITDA plus dividend payments from associates. Adj EBITDA does not include proportionate net income from associates. When looking at our estimates, TVN’s adj EBITDA forecasts are either in line with or slightly above our forecasts. Figure 1 2014-2016 Forecasts – TVN vs BESI vs Bloomberg consensus 2014E (PLN m) adj.

The announcement followed expressions of interest from strategic and financial investors in acquiring a controlling stake in the company. We note that so far there has been no decision on the potential disposal of TVN and there is no guarantee that such a decision will be made in the future. Together, ITI and Canal+ control a 51.75% stake in TVN though N-Vision/Polish Television Holding. ITI holds an additional 1.55% stake in TVN through ITI Holdings. Canal+ entered on 30th November 2012, buying a 40% stake in NVision for EUR 233m. As part of the deal, TVN transferred its N platform to the newly created NC+ platform formed of N-platform and Canal+ satellite payTV entities with a 32% stake in NC+, of which 51% belongs to Canal+ and 17% to UPC. At the beginning of 2014, Canal+ acquired an additional 9% stake in NVision. The implied value of the stake in TVN acquired by Canal+ is PLN 21.1m, which is 35% above the current market price. Following the 3Q14 results release, the CEO communicated that 14 entities (both strategic and financial investors) have expressed interest in TVN. Figure 2 TVN – shareholder structure Source: BESI Research, Company Data In the last Polish Press Agency (PAP) interview from 2nd Dec 2014, the CEO stated that there are ca. 12 entities interested in the process. Time Warner and Discovery were both mentioned in the article as potential buyers of TVN. The CEO also stated that the buyer could be picked in 1Q15. Below we present a table with a list of M&A transactions in the media and payTV business around the world announced in the last twelve months, along with the value of the deal and implied multiples. Time Warner and Discovery Communication have been mentioned in the press as likely candidates for the stake in TVN. The former because of its presence in CEE region through CETV and the latter because of its recent appetite for expansion though M&A. We think potential post-acquisition synergies would be primarily in the area of TV content (both internally produced and acquired). In our view, a strategic partner with a global presence and client base would increase TVN’s negotiating power with studios, enabling it to buy externally produced content at lower cost. In TVN’s opex base, external TV content costs amount to ca. PLN 150m a year. In our view, working with a strategic partner might help the company to reduce this by ca. 5-10%, or PLN 7.5-15m per year (ca. 1.53% of 2014E core TV EBITDA). In addition, both Time Warner and Discovery are very big own content producers though various TV channels (HBO for Time Warner and Discovery Channels for Discovery). Optimization of own Page 14 of 30 content production using a strategic partner’s know-how could also slightly reduce the cost of own content, on which TVN currently spends PLN 500m pa. On top of this, if a global media company with an investment grade rating were to take over, TVN might obtain investment grade as well. This could materially reduce financing costs which are currently at 7.375-7.875% for EUR denominated Senior Notes. In our view, an investment grade rating could potentially reduce the company’s financing costs by ca. 200-300bp. Current EUR Senior Notes balance is at PLN 2.3bn so this could reduce yearly financial costs by ca. PLN 50-70m, assuming a similar debt level.

Discovery among the most active in M&A recently Discovery stepping into Eurosport On December 21, 2012 TF1 group sold a 20% equity interest in the Eurosport group and in the TV Breizh, Ushuaïa TV, Stylía and Histoire pay-TV theme channels to the Discovery Communications group. The 20% stake in Eurosport was valued at EUR 170m, implying a EUR 850m enterprise value for 100% of Eurosport. The sale of the 20% interest in the theme channels was completed on the basis of an enterprise value of EUR 70m. In 2012, Eurosport channels generated EUR 475m of revenues (EUR 452m in 2013) and EUR 63.6m of operating income (EUR 81.8m in 2013). TF1 group D&A is ca. 2.5% of total revenues. Using the same ratio for the Eurosport unit, hypothetical EBITDA could amount to EUR 75.5m in 2012 and EUR 93m in 2013. The deal happened in December 2012, hence its valuation needs to be based on forecasted numbers for 2012. The transaction multiple (EV/EBITDA 2012) reached 11.25x for the non-controlling 20% stake. The Discovery Communications group has the option to acquire, during a period of one year from December 21, 2014, a further 31% interest in Eurosport SAS (the parent company of the Eurosport group), which would raise its Page 15 of 30 equity interest in the company to 51%. If the Discovery Communications group exercises this option, TF1 could then sell the rest of its interest in Eurosport SAS (i.e. 49%) to the Discovery Communications group during a period of one year from the date on which the Discovery Communications group acquires the additional 31% interest. The Discovery Communications group also has the option to acquire, during a period of one year from December 21, 2014, a further 29% interest in the payTV theme channels, which would raise its equity interest in the channels to 49%. If the Discovery Communications group acquires an additional 31% interest in Eurosport SAS (see above) but does not acquire the additional 29% interest in the pay-TV theme channels, TF1 could then sell a further 15% equity interest in those channels to the Discovery Communications group, raising the latter’s equity interest in those channels to 35%. Exercising those two options, based on 2012 deal pricing would cost Discovery ca. EUR 263m for 31% stake in Eurosport and ca. EUR 20m for 29% stake in theme channels giving in total ca. EUR 283m cash outlay in 2015. In 2013, Discovery Communication has generated: (1) USD 5.5bn of revenues, +23% YoY, (2) USD 2.4bn of adj OIBDA, +16% YoY, (3) USD 1.1bn of net income, +14% YoY, (4) USD 1.2bn Free Cash Flow, +14% YoY. In 2014E Discovery targets OIBDA of USD 2.5-2.55bn. Discovery together with Liberty Global buys All3Media On 8th May 2014 Discovery Communications and Liberty Global announced an agreement to form a 50:50 joint venture to acquire All3Media, which is the largest independent production group in the U.K. and has a strong presence in the US, Germany, the Netherlands and New Zealand and 26 creative centers in the world’s largest TV-producing markets. For the fiscal year ending in August 2013, All3Media recorded revenues of approximately GBP 505m. Discovery Communications and Liberty Global’s joint venture acquired All3Media at an enterprise value of GBP 550m which represents EV/EBITDA multiple of approx. 8.5x. Discovery acquired The Living Channel New Zealand In July 2014, Discovery acquired The Living Channel New Zealand, which operates pay TV channels The Living Channel and Food TV. Discovery currently distributes two channels through the Sky TV platform – Discovery Channel and Animal Planet. Terms of deals with Associates NC+ and Onet.pl NC+ TVN holds a 32% stake in NC+, while Groupe Canal+ holds 51% and UPC 17%. Canal+ Group has a call option to acquire TVN’s 32% of NC+ at market value, which is exercisable during the three months following November 30th, 2015 and November 30th, 2016. Additionally, following the call option periods, both TVN and Canal+ Group have the right to sell their interest in NC+ (with Canal+ Group having the right to require TVN to sell its shares in NC+ at the same terms). If the option is not exercised, TVN has the right to require NC+ to undertake an initial public offering. The book value of NC+ in 3Q14 reached PLN 1.5bn, while on the day of the deal TVN estimated the value of a 32% stake in NC+ at PLN 1.9bn. NC+’s payout ratio is set at 75%. On the day of the deal, NC+ had 2.5m subscribers with pro-forma revenues of PLN 2.2m and pro-forma EBITDA of PLN 200m. TVN commented that benefits of scale, synergies and attractive payTV content will enable it to lift its total customer base to 3m with EBITDA at PLN 550m at end-2015. However, the merger was followed by an unsuccessful price offer that was widely criticized by customers and resulted in visible client outflows. In 3Q14, the NC+ client base reached 2.2m while 9M14 EBITDA increased to PLN 280m (+45% yoy) Page 16 of 30 and revenues fell to PLN 1.6m (-5% yoy). During the 3Q14 results conference call, the CEO commented that TVN still targets PLN 550m full-year EBITDA, but its delivery will be delayed by one year (i.e. to 2016). Erosion of the client base has already stabilized, with ARPU in 3Q14 reaching PLN 68, up 4% yoy. Onet.pl TVN holds a 25% interest in Onet Holding Group while 75% is controlled by Ringer Axel Springer Media. The shareholders’ agreement contains a swap option for TVN to exchange a number of TVN’s (its subsidiaries’) shares in Onet Holding for the shares in RAS (option valid if RAS conducts an initial public offering). Furthermore, under the shareholders’ agreement, the following options are granted: (1) the first put option for TVN (or its subsidiary) to sell all its shares in Onet Holding to RAS at any time during: (i) the 90-day period commencing on January 1, 2016; or (ii) the 20 business day period commencing after Onet Holding’s shareholders meeting has approved its financial statements for the most recently concluded financial year, whichever period ends later; and (2) the call option for RAS to acquire the shares in Onet Holding’s share capital from TVN (or its subsidiary) at any time during (i) the 90-day period commencing on January 1, 2017 or (ii) the 20 business day period commencing after Onet Holding’s shareholders meeting has approved its financial statements for the most recently concluded financial year, whichever period ends later; and, (3) the second put option for TVN (or its subsidiary) to sell all its shares in Onet Holding to RAS at any time within 60 days following the expiration of the call option period. The shareholders’ agreement also contains the standard “joint-exit” clauses allowing TVN and RAS to sell jointly all their shares in Grupa Onet.pl held directly or indirectly (drag-along and tag-along rights).

Press exposure (27% of 14E revs) is steadily decreasing (exp 19% revs in 17E) thanks to growing contributions from other segments including cinema and internet; however the rate of decrease has been limited somewhat by a deceleration in the pace of copy sales erosion. We expect negative FCF in 2015E–16E due to increased capex (PLN 106m/PLN 110m, respectively). However, in contrast with Agora’s past spending on dotcom acquisitions (e.g. Trader.com and GoldenLine.pl), which we saw as questionable in terms of value accretion, this capex will be spent on strengthening Agora’s position in outdoor and cinema – stable and organically growing segments where Agora has a proven track record. Good performance from cinema: The cinema market has performed well in 9M14, with 6% yoy growth and ticket sales of 27.4m. This is mainly attributable to strong domestic releases, incl. “Bogowie”, “Miasto 44” and “Sluzby Specjalne”. Results in 4Q14 will also be supported by The Hobbit 2. Last year Part 1 brought ca. 850k admissions in Poland in the opening week. As NextFilm (Agora’s subsidiary) is a distributor of “Bogowie”, we expect it to add ca. PLN 12m of revs and ca. PLN 2m of EBIT to 4Q14 results. Agora is outpacing the market with +1.6% ticket sales in 3Q14 and +6.4% in 9M14. Given the pipeline for 2015, with a total of 17 new screens being added in Jelenia Gora, Bialystok and Lodz, we believe Helios will continue to outperform.

Agora’s management believes that political parties may have decided to build up their ad budgets for the upcoming Presidential and Parliamentary elections in 2015. We expect the 2015E ad market to be supported by ca. PLN 80m in incremental ad spending related to elections. We expect Agora’s outdoor segment to book incremental revenues of ca. PLN 9m and EBITDA of PLN 1.5m.

In our view, lowering the base of total press users with a higher share of frequent readers is the main reason for this. To mitigate erosion of press revenues, in Feb 14 Agora launched paywall access for press content and aims to achieve 0k subs base at end-2014 vs 21.2k in 3Q14. Based on our estimates, a 21k base could generate ca. PLN 1m in quarterly revs (1% of total press revs). Capex will hamper FCF: Agora plans to increase capex in 2015/16 (exp PLN 106/110m). However, in contrast with the company’s past spending on dotcom acquisitions, this capex will be spent on ‘Warsaw Project’ and cinema screens development. The former will strengthen Agora’s market leadership in outdoor and will better position it in nationwide ad campaigns. The latter is capex on the organically growing cinema business. Following a few unsuccessful attempts to expand into new segments, Agora’s current strategy focuses on strengthening its position in more predictable where it has experience, which should offset revenue erosion coming from the press segment.
