Fila s profitability eroded in 211 due to costs related to the takeover of Acushnet, a US-based golf equipment company, seasonally slow demand and depleted inventory after revising its Europe licensee. In 212, we expect Fila to make an earnings turnaround on the effects of the Acushnet acquisition and the normalized European operation. We maintain BUY with a TP of W98, (12x diluted 212F EPS). 212 the first year of turnaround: Sales should fall a bit YoY in 212 due to the absence of inventory sales (~W1bn) seen in 211 on the European licensee revision. But OP should increase 16% YoY thanks to 1) more than W2.5bn in new royalty income annually coming from the European licensee, 2) a narrowing operating loss from W9.5bn in 211, incurred as a result of the inventory sales in Europe a year ago and 3) better profitability at Fila USA. Equity-method gains from Acushnet should amount to W12bn in 212F compared to the loss seen in 211. Fila should gradually shore up earnings and increase its ownership of Acushnet every year by exercising bonds with warrant. We anticipate the equity-method gains from Acushnet will reach W46.5bn in 216F. Expand overseas business in the mid to long-term: Fila aims to expand the overseas business in the mid to long-term, which we view as positive. We expect it to grow 3% p.a. from 21 to 213. Profit from overseas, which includes the equity-method gains from Fila USA and Acushnet, amounted to W48.4bn in 21 but shrank to W8.6bn in 211 during the transition period after the Acushnet takeover. We expect the profit to rebound to W86.4bn in 212F and to W16bn in 213F. Mounting dependence on the overseas business that has solid long-term growth potential would improve earnings and lift the valuation multiples. Eun-chae Na ec.na@truefriend.com Fila s global strategy and greater ownership of Acushnet to be gradual: A key to growth is bolstering Fila s global brand recognition. While Fila recognizes revenue by selling products exclusively in the US and Korea, it does business in China as a joint venture and earns royalty income or equity-method gains in other countries. The Fila brand s global sales totaled W1.9trn in 211, less than other global brands. But we see strong growth potential considering sales of W1.5trn in 21. Greater ownership of Acushnet, the world s biggest golf equipment maker, will be gradual. Fila plans to lift ownership from the current 12% (diluted) to 33. over the next five years. Earnings growth at Acushnet and growth momentum stemming from the Chinese market should gradually materialize. 39
