1 (3657 KS) Betting on the future Game Earnings Preview April 25, 213 (Maintain) Buy Target Price (12M, W) 25, Share Price (4/24/13, W) 165,5 Expected Return 51% OP (13F, Wbn) 251 Consensus OP (13F, Wbn) 223 EPS Growth (13F, %) 46.4 Market EPS Growth (13F, %) 2. P/E (13F, x) 15.9 Market P/E (13F, x) 9.3 KOSPI 1, Market Cap (Wbn) 3,626 Shares Outstanding (mn) 22 Free Float (%) 76.3 Foreign Ownership (%) 33.5 Beta (12M) Week Low (W) 125, 52-Week High (W) 298, (%) 1M 6M 12M Absolute Relative Share price KOSPI 4/12 8/12 12/12 4/13 Upside catalysts: China, new title releases, and online console games We believe strong upside momentum lies ahead for. First, 1Q earnings are likely to come in better than expected, backed by the strong performances of existing titles Lineage and Guild Wars 2. We thus adjusted up our 213F EPS by 28.5%. Also encouraging is the disclosure of the Chinese closed beta schedule for Blade & Soul (May 7 th ), which has removed a key potential risk: a delay to the company s biggest event of the year. Furthermore, we now have a clearer picture of the schedules for: 1) the mobile launch of Lineage (2Q), 2) the US and European commercial releases of WildStar (2H), and 3) the Chinese launch of Guild Wars 2 (closed beta test (CBT) set for May 2 nd ). Looking ahead to 2H, we expect some major developments from the online console gaming segment, as game consoles (PlayStation 4 and Xbox 72) with much more advanced online features are scheduled to hit the market, and rival game Diablo 3 is set to come out in a console format. 1Q OP to soar to W52.4bn on solid performance of Lineage and Guild Wars 2 We had originally feared an earnings slowdown in 1H in light of the firm s conservative 213 guidance and the outflow of Blade & Soul users in 1Q. However, existing titles (Lineage, Aion, Guild Wars 2, etc.) appear to have performed better than expected in 1Q both domestically and overseas. We now estimate 1Q revenue and operating profit at W23.1bn (+43.8% YoY) and W52.4bn (+323.6% YoY), respectively, above our previous estimates (W172bn and W35bn) and the market consensus (W181bn and W43.7bn). Raise TP to W25, in line with upward revisions to 213 estimates We lift our target price to W25, (from W2,), as we adjusted up our 213F and 214F EPS by 28.5% and 26.8%, respectively. We call for continued, robust earnings momentum into 214, as: 1) Chinese revenue from Blade & Soul and Guild Wars 2 as well as US and European revenue from WildStar are likely to be fully reflected next year, and 2) the release of the Guild Wars 2 expansion pack has been pushed back to 214 from 213. Our revised target price is based on a 213F P/E of 24x. Over the past decade, the stock s P/E has ranged between 2-4x, with its multiple tending to expand on heightened new game expectations before contracting again once new revenue was recognized. shares have been trading below historical levels as the focus on online smartphone games has intensified (the firm s business is oriented toward online PC games). However, we believe a re-rating is on the horizon given the potential for betterthan-expected earnings in 2H, and upcoming positive shifts in the online gaming console market.

2 April 25, 213 New momentum outlook for 2H Figure 1. Share price trends and new game releases Historically, s share price has largely moved in lockstep with operating profit. The company s 212 earnings failed to meet our expectations, despite the strong-than-expected performance of Guild Wars 2 (commercially launched in August, 212). We attribute the weakerthan-expected earnings in 212 to the following: 1) earnings from existing titles, including Aion, were eroded by the popularity of foreign games like League of Legends, and 2) Blade & Soul (commercially launched in June 212) failed to generate new demand. We expect 1Q results to confirm that the performances of existing titles (Lineage, Aion, etc.) had bottomed in 4Q12, and that the popularity of Guild Wars 2 will last longer than expected in the US and Europe. Lineage registered record-high sales in 4Q12 and 1Q13 on the back of in-game item sales events. Due to a high base of comparison, sales from the game are projected to decline QoQ in 2Q, and CD sales of Guild Wars 2 are also projected to slide QoQ. However, Blade & Soul is expected to see a pickup in gamers in Korea in 2Q thanks to the update of its new map, White Blue Mountains. Blade & Soul s user indicator trend after the update should have a great impact on the company s 2Q earnings and the popularity of the game in China. Meanwhile, the Chinese closed-beta testing (CBT) for Blade & Soul is scheduled to begin on May 7 th. In addition, KongZhong, a Chinese partner for the launch of Guild Wars 2, announced that the CBT for the game will start on May 2 nd. is likely to take time to update Blade & Soul and to meet the strict localization requests of Chinese publisher Tencent to offset the game s dismal performance in Korea. However, Guild Wars 2 is likely to be commercialized quickly in China after undergoing simple localization processes, including translation and some graphics changes. We assumed that royalty income from the games will be reflected starting in 3Q. The CBT for WildStar is also scheduled to begin in 2Q. As new games are usually released before Black Friday in the US and Europe, we project WildStar to be commercially launched sometime during end-3q-4q. Meanwhile, we estimate this year s WildStar sales at a third of Guild Wars 2 sales in 212.
