Revenue was in line with our forecast, but operating profit missed. Earnings were pressured by a number of expense items, including 1) year-end incentives (up W1.5bn YoY), 2) legal consulting fees and hiring expenses related to the China subsidiary set-up (W1.5bn), 3) marketing spend for the upcoming debut of the new boy group NCT (W1bn), and 4) inventory charges related to albums left unsold for years (W1bn). On top of these expenses, W1.5bn in SM C&C s drama and musical income was deferred to 1Q16, shaving off a total of W6.5bn from operating profit in 4Q15. China subsidiaries could go public in the long term In 2016, we expect revenue from Japan, which accounts for 40% of consolidated revenue (W130.1bn collectively from SM Japan and parent) to get a boost from the yen s appreciation. As of February 17 th, the JPY100/W rate is up 15.1% to 1,078 from 936, the average level recorded in 2015. This means that even if revenue from Japan remains flat YoY, won-based revenue could grow 15.1% YoY and operating profit related to Japan could improve by more than 30% YoY. In late 2015, Dream Maker, s consolidated subsidiary (68% owned), and a Hong Kong Service Supplier (HKSS: a business certification that allows Hong Kong companies that have engaged in substantive business operations for at least three years to be treated as mainland companies) established two wholly-owned Chinese subsidiaries, one in Beijing and the other in Shanghai. Dream Maker, which recently obtained an entertainment business license from Chinese authorities, is expected to attract equity investments from multiple Chinese media and entertainment companies, including Alibaba (which recently bought shares in ). From 2016, should begin to book consolidated revenue from China through Dream Maker. As such, the absolute size of China revenue will grow, as revenue was previously booked in the form of royalties. Meanwhile, the company plans to debut Chinese artists that have signed with Dream Maker s China subsidiaries in Beijing and Shanghai. We see strong growth potential in the company s consolidated China earnings. In the near term, we believe s share price will hinge on the level of premium paid by Chinese firms for shares in Dream Maker. In the longer term, we think there is a chance Dream Maker will go public in either Hong Kong or the mainland. A Chinese entertainment play; Watch for multiple expansion We maintain our Buy call and target price of W59,000 on. While we have lowered our 2015-16 earnings estimates, we believe the establishment of the China subsidiaries and future investments by Chinese partners will drive increasing expectations on the company s China operations.
