CJ E&M engages in a variety of media and content businesses, and we believe the
company will grow only after all of its business units improve. We anticipate such
growth to begin this year, as we project fundamentals to improve across the board.
Additionally, a large amount of new content is scheduled to be released this year
after a substantial amount of preparation. Of note, the companyÊs earnings have
become less volatile due to stable growth in advertising revenues at the broadcasting
division (though some business units are showing significant earnings fluctuations).
1) We expect the game divisionÊs revenues and profits to recover after two years
of sluggishness on the back of the launches of in-house developed games. 2) The
movie division has picked up since 2H12, and we anticipate the divisionÊs business
will grow in 2013 due to its solid movie lineup, as well as scheduled worldwide
openings of movies in which the company has invested. 3) As for the broadcasting
division, we expect earnings growth to outweigh concerns over investment (cost)
increases, given that the company has set its broadcasting schedules, which
primarily consist of programs developed in-house.
Catalysts: Rebounds in earnings and momentum
We expect CJ E&MÊs earnings to improve through 2013. Most importantly, we
anticipate improvements in revenues and margins at all business units will drive
this growth, as opposed to the success of certain programs or movies. We project
the companyÊs 2013 revenues to grow 19%. We project 2013 revenues at the
broadcasting, game, and movie divisions to expand 17%, 27%, and 22%,
respectively. We forecast the companyÊs 2013 operating profit to surge 151%, as:
1) we expect the games division to swing to positive, and 2) we forecast OP
margins at the broadcasting and movie divisions to rise.
Furthermore, we expect momentum to come from the companyÊs launches of new
movies and games starting in early 2013. We forecast the companyÊs moviedistribution market share to recover to 30% this year. We expect revenues related
to distribution and copyrights will grow due to the fact that the company is
increasingly investing in the production of movies. As for the game division, we
forecast the number of new smartphone games to double YoY this year. And the
company plans to roll out online games for the first time after a significant hiatus.
Valuation: Raise TP to W38,000 (due to upward revision to 2013F EPS)
We maintain our Buy call on CJ E&M and raise our target price from W36,000 to
W38,000. While we keep our target P/E (23.5x) unchanged, we revised up our 2013
EPS estimate by 6.8%. Furthermore, we revised up our 2013 revenue estimate by
6.5% and upped our 2013 OP margin estimate for the movie division by 1%p to
reflect increased movie investments. But we adjusted down our 2013 OP margin
estimate for the game division due to concerns over the companyÊs growing
marketing expenses (related to new games), as well as potential government
restrictions. We note that the potential success of new movies and games has yet
to be reflected in our valuation. We believe we have taken a conservative approach
to earnings forecasts.

I. Investment summary
1. Earnings and growth momentum to pick up this year
CJ E&M engages in a variety of media and content businesses. Thus, we believe the
company will grow only after all of its business units improve. We anticipate such growth to
begin this year, as fundamentals are likely to improve across the board.
A large amount of new content is scheduled to be released this year after a substantial
amount of preparation. 1) We expect the game divisionÊs revenues and profits to recover
after two years of sluggishness on the back of in-house game launches. 2) The movie
division has picked up since 2H12, and we anticipate the divisionÊs business will grow in
2013 due to its solid movie lineup, as well scheduled worldwide openings of movies in
which the company has invested. 3) As for the broadcasting division, we expect earnings
growth to outweigh concerns over investment (cost) increases, given that the company has
set its broadcasting schedules, which primarily consist of programs developed in-house.
2013 outlook:
1) Earnings
improvement
2) New content
We expect CJ E&MÊs earnings to improve through 2013. Most importantly, we anticipate
improvements in revenues and margins at all business units will drive this growth, as
opposed to the success of certain programs or movies. We project the companyÊs 2013
revenues to grow 19%. We project 2013 revenues at the broadcasting, game, and movie
divisions to expand 17%, 27%, and 22%, respectively. We forecast the companyÊs 2013
operating profit to surge 151%, as: 1) we expect the game division to swing to positive, and
2) we forecast OP margins at the broadcasting and movie divisions to rise.
Furthermore, we expect momentum to come from the companyÊs launches of new movies
and games starting in early 2013. We forecast the companyÊs movie-distribution market
share to recover to 30% this year. We expect revenues related to distribution and copyrights
will grow due to the companyÊs increased investment in film production. As for the game
division, we forecast the number of new smartphone games to double YoY this year. And
the company plans to roll out online games for the first time after a significant hiatus.
We maintain our Buy call on CJ E&M and raise our target price from W36,000 to W38,000.
While we keep our target P/E (23.5x) unchanged, we revised up our 2013 EPS estimate by
6.8%. Furthermore, we revised up our 2013 revenue estimate by 6.5% and upped our 2013
OP margin estimate for the movie division by 1%p to reflect increased movie investments.
But we adjusted down our 2013 OP margin estimate for the game division due to concerns
over the companyÊs growing marketing expenses (related to new games), as well as
potential government restrictions. We note that the potential success of new movies and
games has yet to be reflected in our valuation. We believe we have taken a conservative
approach to earnings forecasts.

2. Growth story has only just begun
1) CJ E&M takes its first step as a fledgling media group
Media firms typically grow their businesses either through diversification or concentration.
Diversification requires deregulation, which allows capital to flow into the market and media
companies to engage in the management of other media firms. Under this model, various
types of media (newspaper, movies, broadcasting, and internet) are operated under the
umbrella of a media group. Meanwhile, companies adopting the concentration model tend to
specialize in specific media segments.
CJ E&M, a media group
capable of making largescale capital
investments
Historically, Korean media firms have had to adopt the concentration model due to tight
regulations. However, gradual deregulation and the entry of large conglomerates into the
media industry have encouraged M&A deals and the formation of media groups. CJ E&M is
the result of M&As.
The Korean government is anticipated to continue to support the media industryÊs growth.
Strict government control and a small market size have toughened Korean media firms,
encouraging them to strengthen their viability and competitiveness. Content production and
marketing know-how have also accumulated. Deregulation, combined with a broader market
base, should unlock the potential of media firms. In particular, content revenues from
overseas markets will become a new growth driver.

2) Earnings volatility is decreasing
Media groups were
initially movie makers
Most US media groups started by producing blockbuster films, and then expanded into
media network businesses such as cable TV channels. Unlike the highly volatile film
business, media networks could provide stable revenues (ad revenues). As earnings volatility
decreased, their shares were re-rated, and the companies grew further. CJ E&M is following
a similar path, with its content business (started in 2012) allowing the companyÊs ad
revenues to grow steadily.
Time Warner engages in various media businesses, including cable TV channels (CNN and
HBO), filmmaking (Warner Bros.), and magazines (Time and Fortune). As of 2011, the
company generated 46% of its revenues from broadcasting, and 44% from movies.
Broadcasting revenues are rising steadily, driven by content exports (CNNÊs news and
HBOÊs programs). Meanwhile, magazine revenues are steadily declining, accounting for 13%
of total revenues in 2011, down from 19% in 2009.
Viacom produces and broadcasts cable TV programs (MTV) and films and runs a digital TV
business. Cable TV programs and movies respectively generate roughly 60% and 40% of
the companyÊs revenues (the film divisionÊs revenue contribution fluctuates depending on
economic conditions and the popularity of movies).
Growing ad revenues
help decrease earnings
volatility
Time Warner and Viacom have a business structure similar to that of CJ E&M (revenues
generated mostly from cable TV programs and films). The two companies were initially
movie makers, but later expanded to cable TV channels, which now make larger
contributions to profits than movies. They produce various content at relatively low costs,
generate stable revenues through ads and paid TV programs, and make large investments in
films. Under this business structure, earnings volatility decreases, and film content can
generate secondary revenues through cable TV channels.
CJ E&MÊs earnings appear to be improving across all business units. The film division
started to recover in 2H12, and game revenues are anticipated to expand in 2013 on
launches of new games. Broadcasting revenues should pick up sharply when the economy
recovers, as the company has made significant investments in content (establishment of a
system to broadcast in-house dramas).

II. Valuation
1. Raise TP to W38,000; Maintain Buy
We maintain our Buy call on CJ E&M and raise our target price from W36,000 to W38,000.
We revised up our 2013 EPS estimate by 6.8%. Revenues at the broadcasting, game, and
movie divisions are projected to expand 17%, 27%, and 22%, respectively (19% overall).
Revise up 2013 EPS
projection
We forecast the companyÊs 2013 operating profit to surge 151% as the game division
swings to positive, and OP margins at the broadcasting and movie divisions rise. We upped
our 2013 OP margin estimate for the movie division by 1%p to reflect increased movie
investments, but adjusted down our 2013 OP margin estimate for the game division due to
concerns over the companyÊs growing marketing expenses (related to new games), as well
as potential government restrictions.
Meanwhile, we maintain our target P/E of 23.5x, calculated by applying a 15% discount to
private terrestrial broadcaster SBSÊs average P/E in 2005, when the companyÊs revenues
started to accelerate on strengthening content competitiveness. The 15% discount reflects
the discrepancy between the current and 2005 stock market P/Es, and the fact that CJ E&M
holds a few volatile businesses in addition to its broadcasting business.
At CJ E&M, broadcasting makes up the lionÊs share of total revenues. As such, we did not
reflect the potential success of new movies and games in our valuation, and conservatively
forecast earnings. Going forward, however, the movie and game businesses may affect the
companyÊs share price as they grow in size and make bigger revenue contributions.

2. High growth potential as a fledgling Asian media group
CJ E&M is trading at a 2013F P/E of 19.4x and a P/B of 1.5x (ROE of 4.8%). We expect the
companyÊs EPS to expand 11.7% this year. Excluding gains/losses from discontinued
businesses, operating profit should surge 171.5%.
Compared to foreign cable TV program providers and media groups engaged in businesses
similar to those of CJ E&M, the companyÊs valuation multiples seem relatively high. We
believe this is attributable to: the high growth potential of the Asian market and the
strengthening content competitiveness of the company.

III. Company overview and industry analysis
1. Broadcasting: Waiting for economic recovery
We expect earnings growth at the broadcasting division to outweigh concerns over
investment (cost) increases, given the company has set its broadcasting schedules, which
primarily consist of programs developed in-house. Once the economy turns upward,
advertising revenues should increase rapidly, in our view.
CJ E&M is a leading cable program provider (PP) in Korea, operating 18 channels. Last year,
the company saw a surge in investment costs due to an increase in the production of new
in-house programs. Except for an absence of news programs, the companyÊs broadcasting
schedule now looks similar to those of terrestrial broadcasters.
Broadcasting schedules
set; Earnings to improve
sharply once the
economy turns upward
Last year, the company made significant progress in drama production, signified by the huge
success of the in-house developed drama Reply 1997. The company began to air MondayTuesday dramas, similar to terrestrial broadcastersÊ miniseries. While tvN (operated by CJ
E&M) broadcasts soap operas in the morning, channels like OCN (also operated by CJ E&M)
air crime and investigation dramas on weekends. Of note is that producers who have
established their careers at terrestrial broadcasters have made popular dramas at CJ E&M.
The companyÊs channels also broadcast various survival and reality programs (e.g., auditions,
fashion, cooking, film, kids) based on the season model (many Korean shows are not broken
up into seasons). Reality programs are best-positioned to generate revenues from product
placements (PPL). Their seasonal format should help programs build loyal customer bases
and improve viewersÊ awareness of the programs, leading to higher viewer ratings. An
increase in advertisersÊ awareness of and preferences for programs directly leads to higher
advertising rates. The company usually broadcasts popular reality shows on Friday nights.
Meanwhile, the companyÊs weekend program lineup is similar to those of terrestrial
broadcasters (e.g, comedy shows, a reality show, matchmaking show). At terrestrial
broadcasters, advertising rates for entertainment programs aired in the late afternoon on
weekends are the highest. As CJ E&M has scheduled entertainment programs on
weekends as well, the company is expected to see a further increase in advertising
revenues. Meanwhile, on weekday evenings, CJ E&M channels air lecture, debate, and talk
show programs.

CJ E&M
We believe CJ E&MÊs TV advertising revenues will drive up structural growth in the cable
advertising market. In particular, advertising revenues between seasons, which have
traditionally been low, are improving.
An increase in in-house
programs leads to higher
advertising and content
revenues
On another positive note, an increase in the in-house production of dramas is boosting highmargin content revenues. At SBS, growth in broadcasting advertising revenues at the early
stages of its business boosted the competitiveness of its content, which led to the
expansion of exports and domestic revenues, eventually driving up OP margin. Overseas
terrestrial broadcasters (e.g., CBS) also saw increases in retransmission fees and content
revenues reduce the volatility of operating profits.

2. Film: The K-film era is coming
From K-drama and K-pop
to K-film
In our view, the Korean wave is spreading from drama and music to film. The popularity of
Korean dramas in Japan has leveled up the quality and profitability of Korean dramas. In
addition, the K-pop phenomenon since the mid-2000s has given rise to the growth of the
record labels of TVXQ, GirlsÊ Generation, Big Bang, Psy, etc.
In our view, film is the most comprehensive type of content, integrating images, music,
story, and actors. Thanks in large part to established global distribution networks, film
appears to be the content type for which consumers are most willing to pay.
An increasing number of Korean films are receiving awards at international film festivals.
However, most of them are made by directors at the fringes of the film industry and failed to
achieve commercial success. As CJ E&M is KoreaÊs leading producer and distributor of films
with popular appeal, we expect the company to introduce films that are both commercially
and artistically successful in the near future. Of note is that The Weinstein Company, which
recently picked up distribution rights for Snowpiercer, an upcoming thriller in which CJ E&M
has invested, is well known for producing and distributing high-quality, award-winning films.
We project CJ E&MÊs movie business will display strong performances this year on the back
of 1) the expansion of its audience base, 2) the recovery of audience market share in the
distribution market with stronger movie lineups, and 3) the release of global film projects.
CJ E&MÊs market share
(in terms of audience)
expected to rebound to
over 30%
1) First, we believe the companyÊs film distribution revenues will improve in 2013. Last year,
the companyÊs lineup was weak in 1H. In addition, the release of a movie scheduled for
2Q12 was delayed by nine months. As a result, the companyÊs audience market share in
dropped from over 30% to around 20%.
However, its audience share is expected to improve this year as films produced by wellknown Korean directors and starring popular actors/actresses (e.g., The Berlin File, Last
Stand, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Snowpiercer) are lined up for release through 1H13.

2) Copyright-related revenues will likely become a key determinant for overall revenues and
operating profit. In particular, since CJ E&M has been increasingly investing in the
production of films, the companyÊs share of profits from box office success will likely grow.
Indeed, CJ E&M has invested in most of the aforementioned films slated for distribution in
1H.
Notably, we expect CJ E&M to display a higher global sales contribution this year, backed by
the release of the companyÊs global film projects, including Snowpiercer. CJ E&M, which
invested in the upcoming sci-fi thriller, will be its domestic distributor. For overseas
distribution, the company signed a contract with The Weinstein Company. As such, global
box office sales will likely take on more importance.
CJ E&MÊs global projects to be released this year include Cooktales (starring Michelle Yeoh,
Super Junior's Henry Lau; jointly produced with a Chinese studio)’, Cobu (starring BoA; 3D
Hollywood movie), Gift (Korean film remake; jointly produced with a Chinese studio)’, Dino
Time (animated; to be released in the US), and Pororo, the Racing Adventure (animated; to
be released in Korea and globally).

3) The domestic film market environment has improved on: 1) the spread of multiplex
cinemas and 2) the expansion of the audience base. In 2012, audiences increased by 22%
YoY, while the number of films screened climbed by 16% YoY. In particular, the number of
Korean film audiences surged by 38% YoY, exceeding the 100mn mark for the first time.
Against this backdrop, CJ E&MÊs content success will likely gain momentum this year, as
the company should exhibit a massive lineup of quality films. In particular many star directors
are set to make comebacks. Indeed, CJ E&M will distribute the films of Ryu Seung-wan
(January), Kim Ji-woon (February), Kang Woo-suk (April), Kim Seong-soo (1H), and Bong
Joon-ho (summer) this year.

3. Game: Showing signs of bottoming out
1) New games to be released
The game division to
turn around
The game division has weighed on CJ E&MÊs earnings over the past two years. The
companyÊs game revenues started to fall after its failure to renew its publishing contract for
Sudden Attack. Worse, revenues at the companyÊs web board game unit, which had been
profitable and attracted steady traffic, also dropped due to regulatory issues. Meanwhile, the
game division embarked on in-house game development projects to address the publishing
business risk, incurring higher costs. New online games that had been scheduled to be
released in 2012 have been delayed, leading to operating losses.
The launching schedules
of online games that
were delayed are being
confirmed
However, the company is expected to launch its in-house developed games in 2013,
boosting the revenues and profitability of its game business. The launching schedules of the
companyÊs new online games that were delayed are now being confirmed. The company
conducted the second closed-beta test (CBT) for its new RPS game Gunz 2 on January 3rd.
In addition, the company performed a guerrilla test for its soccer game Cha9Cha9 on January
5th and is planning to hold a pre-open-beta test (CBT) on January 17th. Furthermore, the
company will conduct the second CBT for an MMORPG Monarch on January 14.
CJ E&M has launched smartphone games on KakaoTalk since 2H12. In particular, Everybody
Cha Cha Cha, which was developed by Turn-on Games (100% owned by CJ E&M) and
launched for KakaoTalk in end-2012, ranks first in terms of both free downloads and
revenues on Google Play. Given that KakaoTalk games ranked first typically generate daily
average revenues of W500mn, quarterly revenues from Everybody Cha Cha Cha are forecast
at W30-45bn.
Mobile games have high
growth potential
CJ E&M, which released about 20 mobile games in 2012, is expected to launch more than
50 mobile games in 2013. Mobile game revenues are expected to rise from W2.3bn in 2011
to W8.5bn in 2012. In 2013, mobile game revenues will likely increase further on an increase
in the number of game releases. The proportion of mobile game revenues out of the
companyÊs total game revenues stood at only 1% in 2011 and 4% in 2012. However, the
figure is expected to exceed 10% in 2013.
With the rising growth potential of CJ E&MÊs mobile game business, the revenues and
market caps of mobile game developers and publishers on the KOSDAQ deserve attention.
Gamevil, whose revenues came in at W43bn in 2011 and are forecast at W71bn in 2012, has
a market cap W596bn. Com2uS (with 2011 revenues of W36bn and 2012F revenues of
W80bn) has a market cap of W468bn.

2) Trends in mobile games
KakaoTalk: A dominant
mobile gaming platform
in Korea
KakaoTalk has emerged as a dominant mobile gaming platform in Korea. Games on
KakaoTalk spread rapidly among users, and are an effective way to increase the number of
mobile items purchased through the service by creating competition among friends for such
items. However, KakaoTalk is shortening the life cycle of mobile games by keeping the
intervals between new game launches relatively short. KakaoTalk is releasing roughly one
game per week.
The growth of KakaoTalk has followed the trajectory of Naver (owned by NHN). Naver grew
its online business - attracting users and boosting traffic - by creating a user-friendly
environment through blogs and other content in its web portal; NHN then monetized user
traffic to the Naver portal. NHNÊs mobile gaming business (e.g., Hangame) was the first of
the Naver services to generate earnings.
KakaoTalk has also attracted a substantial number of users via its messaging service, and is
offering an increasing number of new services, such as advertising, games, e-mail, photos,
fashion services, and other content (to be launched in 1Q). Among these services, the
gaming business was the first to generate a profit, and currently generates the largest
revenues and profits (we project). We expect KakaoTalk to continue introducing games in
short intervals, as the gaming business is key to the companyÊs growth.

Several new apps emerge every day in the global mobile gaming industry. KakaoTalk has
shortened the interval between new games in Korea. And creativity is no longer a factor in a
gameÊs success; we are finding that a well-made copycat generates stronger revenues than
a new „creative‰ game.
The mobile gaming market is comparable to the movie/drama markets. Copycat,
controversial movies and dramas often enjoy strong ticket sales and high viewership. The
life cycle of movies and dramas is also relatively short (only two~three months).
In this type of market, only distributors of content can consistently release new offerings,
and then adequately market that content. Distributors can greatly boost their earnings by
investing in content production, and producing one successful piece of programming per
quarter. CJ E&MÊs movie business is a good example, and we expect a similar model to
work in the mobile gaming market. In the movie market, distributors have a great deal of
power over producers. We expect gaming portals that can publish, produce, and invest in
their own content to also dominate the mobile gaming market.

The Korean mobile
gaming market had a
CAGR of 17% during
2007-2012; we expect a
CAGR of 10% over the
next five years
CJ E&M
We estimate the Korean mobile gaming market had a CAGR of 17.0% during 2007-2012.
However, we forecast this growth to decrease to 10.1% during 2012-2016. We also expect
growth in the global mobile gaming market to slow for the following reasons:
1) The industryÊs initial period of hyper-growth is ending. 2) Smartphone operating system
makers, telecom carriers, and mobile platforms are all trying to get a piece of the gamingapps pie. Additionally, as more developers enter the market, the number of new games is
surging (and the interval between releases is shortening). 3) Most users are only light users.
4) Small devices make it hard to play sophisticated games for a long period of time.
Nevertheless, we would expect further growth in the mobile gaming industry with: 1)
industry restructuring, 2) an increase in the number of heavy users, and 3) an expanded
catalogue of gaming genres.

3) Status of online game industry
KoreaÊs online game
market is huge, at W2tr
per year
Some analysts speculate that KoreaÊs online game market is contracting, with the countryÊs
largest online game maker suffering from competition with foreign brands and the growth of
mobile games. However, the market is still growing (currently W2tr), although not as rapidly
as in the past. Going forward, we expect the online game industry to expand at an average
rate of 9.5% per year.
Dedicated users and
long life cycle
The merits of online games include: 1) a large number of dedicated/heavy users and 2) a
long life cycle after release. CJ E&MÊs new game lineup includes MMORPGs (long life cycle),
sports games and first-person shooter games (dedicated users).
The mobile game industry, although comparable to online games in size, does not have the
aforementioned merits. Players are less dedicated, and life cycles are shorter because
games are quickly released through app stores.

4. Music, performance, online businesses are expanding
1) Music and performance
CJ E&M is cementing its presence in the music and performance industries. In 3Q12, the
companyÊs revenues from relevant business units climbed 45.4% YoY.
Music management
business to resume
With the opening of M Academy, the company will resume its management business. In
addition, its music content competitiveness is strengthening on various platforms (broadcast,
online and mobile), with music sales/promotion channels broadening. If the companyÊs
entertainers gain popularity via the companyÊs strong management capabilities and
infrastructure, the music division should be able to enjoy structural OP margin growth.
Musical exports to Japan
and China rising
The performance business also looks promising, as the number of musical goers are
increasing, and the companyÊs market share is rising. The musical market is estimated at
W300bn as of 2012, and CJ E&M engaged in the production/exports of over 30 musicals last
year. Including revenues from co-produced musicals, the companyÊs market share is
approximately 35%.
The OP margin of the companyÊs performance business is also likely to improve thanks to
musicals developed in-house. Currently, licensed musicals account for 80% of the Korean
musical industry, and, in 2012, less than 10 homegrown musicals made the top 50 list in
terms of revenues. To ensure long-term growth, musical demand should rise nationwide
(currently, demand is high only in Seoul), and the production of homegrown musicals should
increase.
CJ E&M is the undisputed leader of KoreaÊs musical industry growth. The company will stage
seven musicals in Japan this year. Moreover, it established United Asia Live Entertainment in
partnership with a Chinese company, and plans to perform musicals in China.

2) Digital business based on rich content pool
Amid transition to
mobile, content is
gaining in importance
KoreaÊs online portals have been struggling to survive the transition from online to mobile.
Some companies found growth momentum in their efforts to adapt (e.g., NHNÊs LINE), but
most portals have fared poorly. KTH, a subsidiary of KT, shut down its portal site Paran and
streamlined its businesses. The company is now focusing on providing a photo-sharing
application Pudding. SK Communications, a subsidiary of SK Telecom, carried out workforce
restructuring as: 1) traffic to Cyworld (an online social networking service) has declined and
2) NateOn (the most popular online messenger service in Korea) has failed to enter the
mobile market.
Leading internet portals were slow in responding to the dawn of the mobile era, as they
could not easily give up existing businesses. Furthermore, expansion to mobile markets
could have resulted in conflicts of interest.
CJ E&M launched
interest.me based on its
rich content pool
While portal companies created platforms first and expanded content afterwards in their
effort to generate traffic, CJ E&M, drawing upon its rich content pool, launched interest.me
(a content network platform).

5. CJ E&M in the CJ Group
CJ E&MÊs media and
content businesses to
improve the CJ GroupÊs
brand image and add
value
The CJ Group has established a diversified business portfolio, encompassing food,
distribution, entertainment, and infrastructure. Its media and content business is expected to
improve the CJ GroupÊs brand image and add value.
CJ Corporation, a holding company for the CJ Group, boasts strong business stability based
on the diversified businesses of its key subsidiaries. Its earnings primarily consist of dividend
income, royalty income, and rent. Based on its strong asset value, the company can afford
to provide financial support for subsidiaries.
The CJ Group is expanding beyond its food business to service and biopharmaceuticals. It
strengthened its logistics business by acquiring Korea Express. CJ Korea Express is
scheduled to merge with CJ GLS, which should create synergies in overseas logistics.
CJ Group companies are dominant players in the cable TV and film markets. In the pay-TV
and film content markets, the CJ Group has achieved vertical integration of processes from
production to distribution. If ownership control in the pay-TV market is eased, the business
environment for cable SOs and PPs is expected to become more favorable.
Meanwhile, the CJ Group appears to be determined to expand its film businesses overseas.
CJ E&M participates in the production of foreign movies as an investor or co-producer. In
2H12, the company consolidated its domestic and overseas operations. Meanwhile, CJ CGV
do not have much has room for growth in Korea due to the limited size of the domestic
market and its already-high market share. Thus, the company is expanding its multiplex
business in China and Vietnam.
Meanwhile, the CJ Group is preparing to launch a celebrity management business in addition to
its existing music businesses (e.g., music cable channel and digital music investment/distribution).
CJ E&M is also organizing and promoting idol groupsÊ overseas concerts.

6. Risks
We see some risk of slower-than-expected earnings growth, given that: 1) the scheduled
release of new games in 1H13 will likely put upward pressures on marketing spend and 2)
the game unitÊs expenses are likely to outweigh revenues again this year.
The game and movie
divisions are vulnerable
to the performances of
their titles
Indeed, we note that the game division faces greater uncertainties than other businesses.
The company has been shifting its focus from publishing to in-house development, but has
yet to prove its development capabilities. KoreaÊs online game market has somewhat
matured, while, on the mobile side, games serviced by KakaoTalk have been seeing shorter
life cycles. We thus maintain a conservative view on CJ E&MÊs new titles, especially given
increasingly intensifying market competition.
The movie division is also exposed to some uncertainties, as earnings hinge on box office
performance. The production for the movies The Berlin File (set for release in 1H13) and
Snowpiercer (in 2013) is likely to be quite expensive, suggesting a higher break-even point.
The broadcasting division generates most of its revenues from cable ads, which are
sensitive to economic cycles. Any setbacks to the economic recovery could limit upside to
ad pricing, thus holding back top-line growth.
While the exposure to
intangible assets is high,
the companyÊs
accounting policy seems
conservative
Given CJ E&MÊs massive investments in content, we took a closer look at the companyÊs
intangible assets and related accounting policies (amortization, etc.). As a media giant that
provides a wide variety of content, CJ E&M has a higher portion of intangible assets relative
to smaller, listed music and drama production companies, which are more focused on a
single segment.
Roughly 70% of the firmÊs intangible assets are broadcast programs and 30% movie
copyrights. We view the higher exposure to broadcast content as a positive, as it allows the
firm to better recover its investments from license fees and ad sales via its pay TV channels.
As for movies, the company keeps its stake under 30% of total production costs, even for
large-scale productions.
We believe the company amortizes its content assets over a two to four year period under a
straight-line method, with copyrights accounting for nearly 90% of total amortization of
intangible assets. Following the merger into CJ E&M, game development costs have been
expensed on a quarterly basis. Thus, we see only limited risks of temporary losses or
amortization in the event of disappointing market performance.

IV. Earnings outlook
1. Raise 2013F EPS by 6.8%
We revise up CJ E&MÊs 2013F EPS, revenues, and operating profit estimates by 6.8%,
6.5% and 5.7%, respectively. In terms of revenues, we raise our forecasts for broadcasting,
games, and movies and keep the rest unchanged. We maintain our 2013 OP margin forecast
for broadcasting and inch up movies by 1%p, but cut the game division by 1%p. We used
conservative estimates for the movie and game units, as both businesses are highly
dependent on the performances of their respective titles.
2. Across-the-board revenue and profit growth
Upside to ad prices in
broadcasting unit
For the broadcasting unit, we expect to see more ad pricing hikes, as the firm now has more
well-recognized season-based programs that enjoy stable viewership. Also, since the
increase in ad prices was modest over the past year due to the sluggish economy, we may
see a strong pickup once the economy gets back on track.
In 2012, a steady increase in the number of in-house productions caused the growth in
spending to overshadow any rise in ad pricing. This led to a dismal operating profit of less
than W1bn in 1Q12, although the situation began to normalize in 2Q to roughly W10bn.
In broadcasting, CJ E&M focuses primarily on series-based entertainment programs (e.g.,
audition shows, etc.) and dramas that have a targeted audience. In 2012, we saw a number of
new series produced by CJ E&M. Although it is difficult to raise ad prices for new programs
even if they become an instant success, we expect this situation to change in 2013.
We forecast game revenues to pick up in 2013 on the back of new title releases. That being
said, we took a more conservative view in light of high uncertainties surrounding the
potential success of new games, marketing burdens, and regulatory issues. Over the past
two years, CJ E&M had no new game momentum and suffered from deteriorating revenues
due to the failed renewal of the publishing contract for Sudden Attack and slower traffic at
existing games. In an effort to overcome these risks, the company has been pushing inhouse development, which has led to persistent development costs.
New title releases to
drive top-line recovery
After a long development period and many delays, the release dates for the companyÊs
major new titles are now becoming clearer (In 1Q alone, the company plans to launch 7-8
new titles). For online published games, we forecast revenue growth of around 20% YoY.
Online web board games, which account for 30% of game revenues, are not among the
companyÊs key focuses and also face regulatory risks. Thus, we estimate revenues will
decline 20% YoY.

CJ E&M
As for smartphone games, the company plans to launch 40 new titles. We project the
companyÊs smartphone game revenues to surge from W8.5bn (from about 20 smartphone
games) in 2012 to more than W50bn. Our conservative estimate is based on: 1) the success
of Everybody Cha Cha Cha and 2) new game releases. Although the smartphone game
business unit is expected to post an operating loss in 1H due to higher marketing expenses
arising from an increase in new game launches, the unit will likely swing to profit in 2H. We
reflected a decrease in high-margin game item sales (in light of the likelihood of regulatory
issues) in our operating profit projection.
Film division to fare well
on: 1) a recovery in
distribution market share,
and 2) the release of
global film projects
3) The film division is expected to fare well this year, aided by 1) the expansion of the
audience base, 2) a recovery in the distribution market share arising from a massive lineup of
quality films, and 3) the release of global film projects. In particular, CJ E&MÊs share of
profits from box office success will likely grow, as: 1) the company has been increasingly
investing in the production of films; and 2) it will generate additional revenues related to
global distribution and copyrights. Therefore, we project the film divisionÊs annual OP margin
to exceed 5%, which would mark a historic high.
