Taking on the Vietnamese market

Overview of Vietnam business

Entertainment

CJ CGV entered the Vietnamese market in 2011 with the acquisition of the countrys
largest multiplex chain, Megastar. In early 2014, the company completed rebranding all
of its local theaters to CGV. The Vietnam business recorded a loss in 2H11 right after
the acquisition, but quickly swung to a profit in 1Q12 and has seen steady growth in
both admissions and revenue since then.

Why CGV is likely to dominate the Vietnamese market in the long term
We recently visited CJ CGVs theater sites in Vietnam and came away with a more
positive outlook on the countrys market potential as well as the companys prospects.
1) CJ CGV has established a presence in major commercial areas early on thanks to its
timely market entry and aggressive expansion. The company has secured 15- to 20-year
leases for many of its theaters and is planning to do the same for its upcoming sites.
2) The company also enjoys a dominant position in film content as the countrys
exclusive distributor for four of the six largest Hollywood studios. We think these
arrangements will remain in place until the Vietnamese film market begins to mature.
3) The company boasts a solid reputation in the country. CJ CGVs theaters in Vietnam
are differentiated by their consistent interior designs, convenient facilities, diverse
concession offerings, and specialized theaters. Many shopping mall developers are
showing a strong preference for CGV theaters because of the brands well-established
image.

In Vietnam, CJ CGV enjoys a competitive advantage over rivals in terms of theater

numbers and locations. The company has been ramping up the number of theater sites,
taking advantage of the countrys foreigner-friendly business environment and strong
financing capabilities. Given Vietnams under-penetrated market (based on number of
movie viewings per capita), we see plenty of room for growth, supported by economic
expansion and infrastructure development. Furthermore, we believe CJ CGVs shopping
mall-oriented location strategy makes it better positioned to expand market share.

Value of China and Vietnam theater operations to be priced in

We expect 2015 to be a critical year for CJ CGV, with all eyes focused on the
profitability of the China business. If the company fails to break even in China this year,
this would bode ill for future profitability given the companys expansion schedule.
Conversely, if the business turns profitable, this may signal the beginning of a prolonged
period of China earnings momentum, similar to what domestic cosmetics firms are
enjoying today. The Vietnamese market, though smaller, could begin to deliver margin
expansion once the initial investment phase is over and growth settles in.

In April, there have been a number of days during which CJ CGVs admissions in China
outpaced its admissions in Korea (due to weak seasonality in the domestic market). We
believe investors are starting to reflect the value of overseas operations. In our view, CJ
CGV offers a compelling long-term growth story, supported by a combination of steady
domestic growth and strong potential overseas. We maintain our Buy rating and target
price of W80,000.
