DGAP-News: Hauck & Aufhaeuser initiates coverage on PANTALEON with 'BUY' and 104,00 Euro target price
Hauck & Aufhauser Analyst Christian Schwenkenbecher says that with the scheduled launch of its streaming platform PANTAFLIX (PANTA) in Q1 16, PANTALEON looks set to disrupt the traditional and out-dated distribution structures of movies. PANTA is an online streaming platform for video-on-demand content which provides access to non-distributed movies as currently only 10% of global production enters international distribution.
At first place the platform addresses millions of immigrants/expats which alone account for >100m globally. In addition, the platform targets consumers in each country which are interested niche market content from other countries not provided by the large streaming platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime etc.
In Hauck & Aufhaeuser's view, PANTA's upcoming roll-out is well-supported by the company's solid and profitable core business currently accounting for 90% of sales which has always been geared towards content generation and production. Not only is PANTALEON's niche market focus based on strong content quality with artists/producers being key shareholders, the company also holds strong relationships with global brands for which it produces branded entertainment (10% of sales; i.e. Vodafone). This serves as a solid base for future distribution and content monetisation while at the same time allowing for high visibility of demand and consequently low operational risk with only 3% cash investment but still owning >60% of distribution rights.
For the Analysts at Hauck & Aufhaeuser, PANTA is seen to boost sales and disproportionate earnings growth after the digestion of launching costs, adding a highly scalable business model which should by far outgrow today's solid core production business (currently 90% of sales, eH&A: 35% of sales in FY 18E). The planned ramp-up in Q1 '16 explains the substantial acceleration in sales growth of 50% p.a. CAGR '15-18E to 53m Euro while bottom-line contributions from high-margin incremental sales should become visible from FY '18E onwards (c. 80% incremental EBITDA margin).
A potentially successful launch and roll-out of PANTA implies significant value accretion, in Hauck & Aufhaeuser's view. To capture the appealing future growth potential, DCF valuation is used incorporating a significant risk discount in the terminal year (i.e. 10% terminal EBIT margin vs. avg. >25% assuming a successful roll-out of PANTA in FY '20E).
