Media outlook for 2015
Polish ad market spending reached PLN 5.1bn in 9M14, +2.6% yoy.
GDP, domestic demand and private consumption have all performed
relatively well since the beginning of 2014 and they are the main
factors affecting advertisers’ confidence. As a result, we expect
Polish ad market dynamics to remain positive in 4Q14E, +4% overall,
with internet returning to a leading position, +8% yoy, followed by
TV and radio (both +6% yoy). This would imply 2.9% growth for the
whole ad market in FY2014E. When looking at 2015E, we expect the
total ad market to grow by 4.7%, with outdoor as the fastestgrowing segment at +10%, internet at +8%, TV at +6.5%, radio at
+4%, cinema at +2% and press at -11.6%. We see some interesting
potential catalysts for the media market ahead, including: (1) the
outcome of TVN’s possible sale; (2) consolidation of the internet
advertising market; (3) Parliamentary & Presidential elections; and
(4) discussions surrounding new media and allocation of MUX. We
maintain our BUY rating on TVN and increase our FV by 24% to PLN
17.9, from PLN 14.5. We also reiterate our BUY on Agora with FV of
PLN 10.3 (from PLN 10.2).
TV: We expect TV to remain the dominant ad channel in Poland (ca. 50% stake
in the pie) despite the increasing power of the internet. We expect
fragmentation (payTV and DTT thematic channels) to dilute the audience
share of the biggest TV channels but so far TV groups have managed this
issue by launching their own thematic channels.
Internet: We expect internet to remain the fastest-growing ad channel in
Poland as it enables a high degree of personalization and segmentation,
increasing the effectiveness of ads. We see increasing competition between the
two biggest internet portals, Onet.pl and Wirtualna Polska WP.pl. as well as the
beginnings of a consolidation process (WP.pl recently acquired the
dobreprogramy.pl and money.pl thematic portals while Onet.pl acquired NK.pl).

Press: Copy sales in the press segment are on a structural downward curve
that has nothing to do with cyclicality. However, we also see some signs of a
slowdown related to the declining base. Agora’s copy sales declined again in
October, -10% YoY.
Radio: We think radio should remain a stable ad channel, not affected by
major structural changes with stable ca. 8% share in ad market.
Outdoor: The performance of outdoor advertising in 2015 should be
determined by mostly by Presidential & Parliamentary elections where we
expect total ad budget at PLN 80m (1% of total ad market), where historically
ca. 30% pertained to outdoor adding an incremental ca. PLN 24m revenues in
2015E (ca. 5% of total outdoor) Agora, with a ca. 32% market share, should be
among the biggest beneficiaries (we exp incremental PLN 9m revs and PLN
1.5m, EBITDA in 2015E).
Cinema: The performance of the cinema segment, both in terms of admissions
and ad revenues, is primarily determined by the movie line-up. So far 2014
looks like a good year, with ticket sales +6.4% yoy in 9M14. Good ticket sales
for “Bogowie” and the release of the 2nd part of The Hobbit bode well for
4Q14 and we expect a record-high of 39m admissions in FY14; however, given
this high base, we would expect 2015 to be flat at best.

Polish ad market outlook
Along with Poland’s GDP, the Polish ad market has been going through a
recovery since the beginning of 2014. According to Starlink, a media research
house, in 9M14 Polish ad market spending reached PLN 5.1bn, up by 2.6% yoy.
Internet remains the fastest-growing ad channel, up 6.5% YoY in 9M14, but TV
is close behind at +6.3%, followed by radio at 5.8%. Outdoor dropped by 4.2%,
cinema by 9.4% and press by 14.8%, while magazines fell by 12.5% and dailies
by 18.9%.
In 3Q14, TV was the fastest-growing ad channel, up by +9.6% YoY, outpacing
internet with a +6.5% YoY dynamic. This is the strongest quarterly growth for
these segments observed since at least 2002, when this data first started
being collected. In our view this raises the question of whether this might be
the first sign of an internet ad segment hiccup. However, we think the strong
performance of TV in 3Q14 reflects a combination of elements. Recent
sporting events like the Winter Olympics in Sochi and World Cup in Brazil are
the most important, as they were broadcast exclusively on public TV with
predefined ad air-time dedicated to event sponsors. Hence, TV ad budgets
built up and when the Autumn TV season came around they were unlocked,
increasing growth in the TV ad segment to almost a double-digit pace.

When looking at 2015E, we expect the total ad market to grow by 4.7%, with
outdoor as the fastest growing segment at +10% (thanks to Parliamentary
elections), internet at +8%, TV at +6.5%, radio at +4%, cinema at +2% and

In 2015, there are no big sporting events potentially boosting the ad market.
On the other hand, Poland will see two major elections: Presidential and
Parliamentary.

Parliamentary elections are the most expensive of all political elections in
Poland. In 2011, mass media promotion reached PLN 52m and in the prior
election in 2007 it reached PLN 60m. Despite their nationwide scope,
Presidential elections are less than a third as expensive as Parliamentary
elections in terms of advertising spending.

In 2015, we expect elections to add ca. PLN 80m to the ad market (+ ca. 1pp of
growth), with the highest spending in the outdoor, TV, internet and press
segments.
TV – 2015 outlook
Keeping in mind the high TV consumption in Poland (ca. 250 min/day), very
high payTV penetration (ca. 70%+ households) and Poland’s population density
and distribution (rural areas without access to many forms of entertainment),
we expect TV to remain the dominant ad channel (ca. 50% stake in the pie)
despite the increasing power of the internet. We maintain our view that growth
in internet is and will be at the expense of falling press, not TV.

We note the increasing popularity of over-the-top (OTT) services like Ipla.tv,
Player.pl and VOD.pl, but for now we see OTT as an incremental service used
in addition to regular payTV. A good example can be seen in the US, which is
the biggest market for Netflix, one of the biggest worldwide OTT services.
Despite Netflix’s rapidly growing base, payTV providers like DirecTV are also
growing their client base and ARPUs.

TV audience share is also affected by fragmentation of the market and DTT
switchover (in the TV ad segment, the contribution of thematic channels
increased by 19% yoy in 2013 while that of general channels dropped by 10%
yoy). We expect thematic channels to gain popularity, but the biggest TV
groups like Polsat and TVN have already managed this issue by launching their
own thematic channels. For example, TVN closed its TVN CNBC business
channel and replaced it with TVN24 Biznes I Swiat.

gaining momentum. In 2014, TV audience share was further supported by
Polsat’s volleyball channels, which were exclusively dedicated to broadcasting
the Volleyball WorldCup.

We see two additional factors potentially affecting the TV ad market: the
distribution of remaining TV multiplexes (MUX) and a change in the media law.
However, we do not expect any major decisions to be made in 2015.
Regarding MUX, some of the potential ideas under discussion are: (1) create
space for more DTT thematic channels; (2) keep the existing number of
channels unchanged and dedicate the remaining MUXes to existing channels
to upgrade them to HD standard; (3) dedicate MUX for telecom services.
Public TV is promoting the idea of dedicating MUX purely for TVP channels.
Private TV companies are strongly opposed as it would monopolize the
market. Private TV broadcasters are also against the idea of creating more
DTT TV channels as diluting TV audience share would not cover the high cost
of DTT TV transmission.
Regarding the media law, there has been a proposal to switch media
monthly/yearly payments into a media tax to be paid by households together
with the electricity bill. However, in light of the upcoming Parliamentary and
Presidential elections, we would not expect any substantial discussion of
additional taxes before early 2016.
Internet – 2015 outlook
Internet should remain the fastest growing ad channel in Poland as it enables a
high degree of personalization and segmentation, which increases the
effectiveness of internet ads. We expect the internet ad market to grow by 8%
in 2015E and in the following years.

Currently we see increasing competition between the two biggest internet
portals, Onet.pl and Wirtualna Polska WP.pl as well as the beginnings of a
consolidation process. WP.pl recently acquired the dobreprogramy.pl and
money.pl thematic portals while Onet.pl acquired NK.pl. The main idea behind
this is to increase the real user base of each internet group in order to improve
the company’s negotiating position with advertisers. Adding thematic portals
also allows it to develop e-commerce services based on which internet group
it can monetize.

Press – 2015 outlook
We maintain our view that copy sales in the press segment are on a structural
downward curve, which has nothing to do with cyclicality. Consumers are
shifting from printed to digital media.

We expect the magazines ad segment to decline -10% in 2015E and by -8% in
both 2016E and 2017E. The main reason for the differing dynamics between
dailies and magazines is that the former have a very short lifecycle and can be
easily replaced with web content, whereas magazines usually include higherquality content and photos. We think consumers still treat magazines as a
form of entertainment, whereas dailies are viewed more as a commodity easily
replaced by the internet.

Outdoor – 2015 outlook
The political parties still have not commented on their ad spending in the
European and Municipal elections held in 2014. Comments from media
companies indicate that ad budgets for these elections were a bit lower than
in previous years. During the 3Q14 results conference call, Agora’s CEO
hypothesized that political parties may have refrained from heavy ad spending
in 2014 so as to build up their budgets for the upcoming 2015 elections.
Looking at examples from past Parliamentary and Presidential elections, we
expect the 2015E ad market to be supported by ca. PLN 80m in incremental
ad spending, where ca. PLN 60m should come from Parliamentary elections
and ca. PLN 20m from Presidential elections. Looking at the spending mix
between different ad segments shown in Figure 8, where outdoor accounted
for 34% of Parliamentary and 28% of Presidential in the last election (vs its
usual ad market share at 6-7%), we expect outdoor to be supported by ca.
PLN 24m in incremental revenues in 2015E, which accounts for 5% of total
annual outdoor ad spending.

AMS, Agora’s outdoor advertising subsidiary, is the biggest market player in
Poland, with the most outdoor media displays at almost 24k, or ca. 44% of the
total outdoor market. More importantly, as of 2013 AMS is the market leader in
citylights and backlights displays, with a ca. 65% market share.

This is important because citylights and backlights are more advanced
outdoor display formats located in bigger cities. AMS’ high share in the
citylights format and the decreasing popularity of the traditional outdoor
format mean that AMS has outperformed the broad outdoor market recently.
AMS’ presence in the outdoor format should soon increase further thanks to
the Warsaw Project, which entails the construction of 1580 citylight displays in
bus shelters in Warsaw over 2014-2016 with total capex at PLN 80m.

Radio – 2015 outlook
We think radio should remain a stable ad channel, not affected by major
structural changes. The clear advantages of radio are a stable audience and
lower cost than TV. As can be seen in the chart below, a slight reduction in
radio’s share of the Polish ad market, from ca. 8.5% in 2005 to 8% in 2014E, is
not a result of a decline in absolute terms (as radio ad spending increased to
PLN 575m in 2014E from PLN 480m in 2005) but rather a more rapid increase
in the broader Polish ad market.

Cinema – 2015 outlook
The performance of the cinema segment, both in terms of admissions and ad
revenues, is primarily determined by the movie line-up. 2014 looks to be a
good year in terms of cinema admissions in Poland as in 9M14 ticket sales
reached 27.4mm, +6% YoY. In 3Q14 alone, ticket sales reached 8.2m, -1.1% YoY.
We expect 4Q14 to be good as well, supported by very good sales for the
movies “Bogowie” (so far ca. 2m tickets sold), “Miasto44” (ca. 1.7m tickets
sold), “Sluzby Specjalne (ca. 0.5m tickets sold) and The Hobbit, which will
launch just after Christmas. As a result, after a 5.6% ticket sales decline in 2013
to 36.3m, we expect 39m in 2014E, scoring 7.4% growth. We expect ticket
sales of 11.6m in 4Q14E alone (+11.5% yoy).

The cinema ad segment, although growing, still represents ca. 1% of the total
ad market. In 4Q14, because of abovementioned good performance of Polish
movies and expected good opening sales for The Hobbit, we expect the
cinema ad market to grow by 10% yoy. In 2015E and the following years, we
expect cinema ad revenues to grow by ca. 2%.

MARKET UPDATE
Poland | Media | Large Cap | 11-December-2014
TVN
Attractive TV asset
Despite strong competition and TV ad market fragmentation, TVN
remains a major TV platform in Poland, defending TV audience share
of ca. 22% and with TV ad market leadership of ca. 33% in 3Q14.
TVN’s controlling shareholders, ITI and Canal+, are currently
analysing potential exit options and Time Warner and Discovery are
among the potential buyers, according to TVN’s CEO. We think
acquiring the TVN asset could present a unique opportunity for a
strategic investor considering entering the media market in CEE due
to Poland’s large domestic market, TV’s position in the ad pie, and
TVN’s content and market share. We would therefore expect a
potential acquirer to pay a premium to current international TV
multiples (BBG 14E/15E EV/EBITDA 11.3x/9.8x), which then could be
recovered by post-acquisition synergies mostly in the area of lower
TV content costs. We maintain our BUY rating and increase our FV
to PLN 17.9 (from PLN 14.5) on the back of: (1) lower capex over the
forecast period; and (2) lower WACC. We have trimmed our 14E/15E
EBITDA forecasts by 8%/7% on lower exp for associates.
ITI and Canal+ consider exit option: We think the sale of TVN by ITI and Canal+
would offer a unique opportunity for a global media company looking to enter
the Polish ad market. We estimate the value of the market at ca. PLN 7.5bn pa.
Of this, TV accounts for ca. 50%, with payTV penetration in Poland among the
highest in the EU at ca. 75%. Ad spending per capita in Poland is at USD 67 vs
USD 146 in the Czech Rep. and USD 85 in Hungary in 2013. We think this gap is
very wide (probably too wide) considering Poland’s GDP growth prospects
and the strength of domestic demand. In our view, a controlling stake in TVN,
which would give a potential acquirer access to 22% of Poland’s TV audience
share and 33% of the TV ad market, would entail a significant acquisition
premium. TV-exposed stocks in our peer group are trading at
2014E/2015E/2016E EV/EBITDA of 11.3x/9.8x/8.9x. Based on TVN’s expected
EBITDA levels and the book value of NC+/Onet.pl associates, we think a
hypothetical transaction value could reach ca. PLN 20/sh, assuming a 15-20%
transaction premium.

TVN 2014-16 financial goals: TVN expects GDP to grow by 3-3.5% pa in 201416, while the TV ad market should grow by mid-single digits and TVN’s
revenues should grow by low-single digits in 2014E, accelerating to 5-9%
growth in 2015E/16E. TVN expects adj EBITDA (incl. dividends from
associates) of PLN 520m in 2014, PLN 590m in 2015 and PLN 630m in 2016, in
line with our expectations for 14-15. TVN expects capex at ca. PLN 60m in
2014, PLN 70m in 2015 and PLN 60m in 2016 and plans a PLN 225-250m share
buyback in 2015.
Promising outlook for the TV ad market: Despite ongoing audience pressure
from TV market fragmentation (development of thematic channels also on
DTT) and potential pressure from the growing popularity of OTT services, we
believe TV has good prospects in Poland. This is reflected in steadily
increasing daily TV consumption and high payTV penetration. We expect the
TV ad market to maintain its ca. 50% share, growing by 6.2% in 2014E and
6.5% in 2015E.
Sound cash distribution: The planned buyback of PLN 225-250m in 15E implies
a yield of 3.8-4.8% while a payout ratio of 50% implies a DY of 3.2-3.8%.

TVN’s Mid-Term Financial Outlook
On November 19th 2014, TVN presented its mid-term outlook with the
following macro, operating and financial forecasts:

GDP growth in Poland will amount to approx 3.0–3.5% pa in 20142016;

TV advertising market growth should remain relatively stable in the
low to mid-single digits in 2014-2016, while the online advertising
market is expected to post growth rates in the high-single digits over
2014-2016;

TVN Group’s full-year consolidated revenues are likely to grow by
low-single digits in 2014 and accelerate to mid- to high-single digits
of between 5% and 9% in both 2015 and 2016;

Based on the assumptions outlined above, together with continued
positive developments in associate distribution expectations, TVN
forecasts consolidated adjusted EBITDA of approx. PLN 520m in
2014, PLN 590m in 2015 and PLN 630m in 2016.
In addition, TVN assumes the following in terms of investing and financing
activities:

Proportionate share buyback of PLN 225-250m in 2015, with dividend
paid in 2016 with a 50% payout ratio of consolidated net profit in
2015;

Capex of approx. PLN 60m in 2014, PLN 70m in 2015 and PLN 60m in
2016, with continued low cash taxes payable;

Operating cash flow in excess of capex, taxes, interest payments and
shareholder distributions in both 2015 and 2016 will be applied
primarily against debt reduction;

No material capital market transactions are expected to occur
through the end of 2016;

No material new financings are expected, although should an
opportunity arise to refinance existing bond debt as a result of
favourable market conditions, and/or positive circumstances arising
from a potential TVN change of control, then a refinancing could
occur;

EUR/PLN exchange rate development in line with the current financial
market consensus.
Looking beyond 2016 and assuming that Poland’s GDP continues to grow at a
rate of between 3% and 4%, TVN expects to achieve a 2017-2019 revenue
CAGR of approx. 5%. TVN emphasized that any assessment of GDP and
revenues assumes no major macroeconomic disruption (e.g. sovereign debt
crisis in Europe, geopolitical instability in neighbouring countries, global
economic uncertainty).
Adj EBITDA is calculated as core TV EBITDA plus dividend payments from
associates. Adj EBITDA does not include proportionate net income from
associates. When looking at our estimates, TVN’s adj EBITDA forecasts are
either in line with or slightly above our forecasts.

ITI Group and Canal+ consider selling stake in TVN
On October 18th, TVN announced that ITI Group and Groupe Canal+ would
jointly review their strategic options for their combined majority stake in TVN.
The announcement followed expressions of interest from strategic and
financial investors in acquiring a controlling stake in the company. We note
that so far there has been no decision on the potential disposal of TVN and
there is no guarantee that such a decision will be made in the future.
Together, ITI and Canal+ control a 51.75% stake in TVN though N-Vision/Polish
Television Holding. ITI holds an additional 1.55% stake in TVN through ITI
Holdings. Canal+ entered on 30th November 2012, buying a 40% stake in NVision for EUR 233m. As part of the deal, TVN transferred its N platform to the
newly created NC+ platform formed of N-platform and Canal+ satellite payTV
entities with a 32% stake in NC+, of which 51% belongs to Canal+ and 17% to
UPC. At the beginning of 2014, Canal+ acquired an additional 9% stake in NVision. The implied value of the stake in TVN acquired by Canal+ is PLN 21.1m,
which is 35% above the current market price. Following the 3Q14 results
release, the CEO communicated that 14 entities (both strategic and financial
investors) have expressed interest in TVN.

TVN – shareholder structure
Source: BESI Research, Company Data
In the last Polish Press Agency (PAP) interview from 2nd Dec 2014, the CEO
stated that there are ca. 12 entities interested in the process. Time Warner and
Discovery were both mentioned in the article as potential buyers of TVN. The
CEO also stated that the buyer could be picked in 1Q15.
Below we present a table with a list of M&A transactions in the media and
payTV business around the world announced in the last twelve months, along
with the value of the deal and implied multiples.
Time Warner and Discovery Communication have been mentioned in the press
as likely candidates for the stake in TVN. The former because of its presence in
CEE region through CETV and the latter because of its recent appetite for
expansion though M&A.
We think potential post-acquisition synergies would be primarily in the area of
TV content (both internally produced and acquired). In our view, a strategic
partner with a global presence and client base would increase TVN’s
negotiating power with studios, enabling it to buy externally produced
content at lower cost. In TVN’s opex base, external TV content costs amount
to ca. PLN 150m a year. In our view, working with a strategic partner might
help the company to reduce this by ca. 5-10%, or PLN 7.5-15m per year (ca. 1.53% of 2014E core TV EBITDA). In addition, both Time Warner and Discovery
are very big own content producers though various TV channels (HBO for
Time Warner and Discovery Channels for Discovery). Optimization of own
Page 14 of 30
content production using a strategic partner’s know-how could also slightly
reduce the cost of own content, on which TVN currently spends PLN 500m
pa. On top of this, if a global media company with an investment grade rating
were to take over, TVN might obtain investment grade as well. This could
materially reduce financing costs which are currently at 7.375-7.875% for EUR
denominated Senior Notes. In our view, an investment grade rating could
potentially reduce the company’s financing costs by ca. 200-300bp. Current
EUR Senior Notes balance is at PLN 2.3bn so this could reduce yearly financial
costs by ca. PLN 50-70m, assuming a similar debt level.

Discovery among the most active in M&A recently
Discovery stepping into Eurosport
On December 21, 2012 TF1 group sold a 20% equity interest in the Eurosport
group and in the TV Breizh, Ushuaïa TV, Stylía and Histoire pay-TV theme
channels to the Discovery Communications group. The 20% stake in Eurosport
was valued at EUR 170m, implying a EUR 850m enterprise value for 100% of
Eurosport. The sale of the 20% interest in the theme channels was completed
on the basis of an enterprise value of EUR 70m.
In 2012, Eurosport channels generated EUR 475m of revenues (EUR 452m in
2013) and EUR 63.6m of operating income (EUR 81.8m in 2013). TF1 group
D&A is ca. 2.5% of total revenues. Using the same ratio for the Eurosport unit,
hypothetical EBITDA could amount to EUR 75.5m in 2012 and EUR 93m in
2013. The deal happened in December 2012, hence its valuation needs to be
based on forecasted numbers for 2012. The transaction multiple (EV/EBITDA
2012) reached 11.25x for the non-controlling 20% stake.
The Discovery Communications group has the option to acquire, during a
period of one year from December 21, 2014, a further 31% interest in Eurosport
SAS (the parent company of the Eurosport group), which would raise its

equity interest in the company to 51%. If the Discovery Communications group
exercises this option, TF1 could then sell the rest of its interest in Eurosport
SAS (i.e. 49%) to the Discovery Communications group during a period of one
year from the date on which the Discovery Communications group acquires
the additional 31% interest.
The Discovery Communications group also has the option to acquire, during a
period of one year from December 21, 2014, a further 29% interest in the payTV theme channels, which would raise its equity interest in the channels to
49%. If the Discovery Communications group acquires an additional 31%
interest in Eurosport SAS (see above) but does not acquire the additional 29%
interest in the pay-TV theme channels, TF1 could then sell a further 15% equity
interest in those channels to the Discovery Communications group, raising the
latter’s equity interest in those channels to 35%.
Exercising those two options, based on 2012 deal pricing would cost
Discovery ca. EUR 263m for 31% stake in Eurosport and ca. EUR 20m for 29%
stake in theme channels giving in total ca. EUR 283m cash outlay in 2015.
In 2013, Discovery Communication has generated: (1) USD 5.5bn of revenues,
+23% YoY, (2) USD 2.4bn of adj OIBDA, +16% YoY, (3) USD 1.1bn of net
income, +14% YoY, (4) USD 1.2bn Free Cash Flow, +14% YoY. In 2014E
Discovery targets OIBDA of USD 2.5-2.55bn.
Discovery together with Liberty Global buys All3Media
On 8th May 2014 Discovery Communications and Liberty Global announced an
agreement to form a 50:50 joint venture to acquire All3Media, which is the
largest independent production group in the U.K. and has a strong presence in
the US, Germany, the Netherlands and New Zealand and 26 creative centers in
the world’s largest TV-producing markets. For the fiscal year ending in August
2013, All3Media recorded revenues of approximately GBP 505m. Discovery
Communications and Liberty Global’s joint venture acquired All3Media at an
enterprise value of GBP 550m which represents EV/EBITDA multiple of
approx. 8.5x.
Discovery acquired The Living Channel New Zealand
In July 2014, Discovery acquired The Living Channel New Zealand, which
operates pay TV channels The Living Channel and Food TV. Discovery
currently distributes two channels through the Sky TV platform – Discovery
Channel and Animal Planet.
Terms of deals with Associates NC+ and Onet.pl
NC+
TVN holds a 32% stake in NC+, while Groupe Canal+ holds 51% and UPC 17%.
Canal+ Group has a call option to acquire TVN’s 32% of NC+ at market value,
which is exercisable during the three months following November 30th, 2015
and November 30th, 2016. Additionally, following the call option periods, both
TVN and Canal+ Group have the right to sell their interest in NC+ (with Canal+
Group having the right to require TVN to sell its shares in NC+ at the same
terms). If the option is not exercised, TVN has the right to require NC+ to
undertake an initial public offering.
The book value of NC+ in 3Q14 reached PLN 1.5bn, while on the day of the
deal TVN estimated the value of a 32% stake in NC+ at PLN 1.9bn. NC+’s
payout ratio is set at 75%.
On the day of the deal, NC+ had 2.5m subscribers with pro-forma revenues of
PLN 2.2m and pro-forma EBITDA of PLN 200m. TVN commented that benefits
of scale, synergies and attractive payTV content will enable it to lift its total
customer base to 3m with EBITDA at PLN 550m at end-2015. However, the
merger was followed by an unsuccessful price offer that was widely criticized
by customers and resulted in visible client outflows. In 3Q14, the NC+ client
base reached 2.2m while 9M14 EBITDA increased to PLN 280m (+45% yoy)
Page 16 of 30
and revenues fell to PLN 1.6m (-5% yoy). During the 3Q14 results conference
call, the CEO commented that TVN still targets PLN 550m full-year EBITDA,
but its delivery will be delayed by one year (i.e. to 2016). Erosion of the client
base has already stabilized, with ARPU in 3Q14 reaching PLN 68, up 4% yoy.
Onet.pl
TVN holds a 25% interest in Onet Holding Group while 75% is controlled by
Ringer Axel Springer Media.
The shareholders’ agreement contains a swap option for TVN to exchange a
number of TVN’s (its subsidiaries’) shares in Onet Holding for the shares in
RAS (option valid if RAS conducts an initial public offering). Furthermore,
under the shareholders’ agreement, the following options are granted: (1) the
first put option for TVN (or its subsidiary) to sell all its shares in Onet Holding
to RAS at any time during: (i) the 90-day period commencing on January 1,
2016; or (ii) the 20 business day period commencing after Onet Holding’s
shareholders meeting has approved its financial statements for the most
recently concluded financial year, whichever period ends later; and (2) the call
option for RAS to acquire the shares in Onet Holding’s share capital from TVN
(or its subsidiary) at any time during (i) the 90-day period commencing on
January 1, 2017 or (ii) the 20 business day period commencing after Onet
Holding’s shareholders meeting has approved its financial statements for the
most recently concluded financial year, whichever period ends later; and, (3)
the second put option for TVN (or its subsidiary) to sell all its shares in Onet
Holding to RAS at any time within 60 days following the expiration of the call
option period.
The shareholders’ agreement also contains the standard “joint-exit” clauses
allowing TVN and RAS to sell jointly all their shares in Grupa Onet.pl held
directly or indirectly (drag-along and tag-along rights).

MARKET UPDATE
Poland | Media | Small & Mid Cap | 11-December-2014
Agora
Easing press(ure)
We maintain BUY rating on Agora and increase our FV to PLN 10.3
(from PLN 10.2) following increases in our 2014E/15E EBITDA
forecasts, driven mostly by the cinema segment, and lower WACC.
Press exposure (27% of 14E revs) is steadily decreasing (exp 19%
revs in 17E) thanks to growing contributions from other segments
including cinema and internet; however the rate of decrease has
been limited somewhat by a deceleration in the pace of copy sales
erosion. We expect negative FCF in 2015E–16E due to increased
capex (PLN 106m/PLN 110m, respectively). However, in contrast
with Agora’s past spending on dotcom acquisitions (e.g. Trader.com
and GoldenLine.pl), which we saw as questionable in terms of value
accretion, this capex will be spent on strengthening Agora’s position
in outdoor and cinema – stable and organically growing segments
where Agora has a proven track record.
Good performance from cinema: The cinema market has performed well in
9M14, with 6% yoy growth and ticket sales of 27.4m. This is mainly attributable
to strong domestic releases, incl. “Bogowie”, “Miasto 44” and “Sluzby
Specjalne”. Results in 4Q14 will also be supported by The Hobbit 2. Last year
Part 1 brought ca. 850k admissions in Poland in the opening week. As
NextFilm (Agora’s subsidiary) is a distributor of “Bogowie”, we expect it to
add ca. PLN 12m of revs and ca. PLN 2m of EBIT to 4Q14 results. Agora is
outpacing the market with +1.6% ticket sales in 3Q14 and +6.4% in 9M14. Given
the pipeline for 2015, with a total of 17 new screens being added in Jelenia
Gora, Bialystok and Lodz, we believe Helios will continue to outperform.

Elections should support outdoor in 2015: According to the Polish outdoor
chamber of commerce, European and Municipal elections had a much smaller
impact on outdoor ad spending than initially expected. Agora’s management
believes that political parties may have decided to build up their ad budgets
for the upcoming Presidential and Parliamentary elections in 2015. We expect
the 2015E ad market to be supported by ca. PLN 80m in incremental ad
spending related to elections. We expect Agora’s outdoor segment to book
incremental revenues of ca. PLN 9m and EBITDA of PLN 1.5m.

Easing pressure in press segment: Although it is still too early to say for certain
that the situation in the press segment is changing, since August 14 Agora has
reported only single-digit yoy copy sales erosion vs ca. -15% previously. In our
view, lowering the base of total press users with a higher share of frequent
readers is the main reason for this. To mitigate erosion of press revenues, in
Feb 14 Agora launched paywall access for press content and aims to achieve
0k subs base at end-2014 vs 21.2k in 3Q14. Based on our estimates, a 21k base
could generate ca. PLN 1m in quarterly revs (1% of total press revs).
Capex will hamper FCF: Agora plans to increase capex in 2015/16 (exp PLN
106/110m). However, in contrast with the company’s past spending on dotcom
acquisitions, this capex will be spent on ‘Warsaw Project’ and cinema screens
development. The former will strengthen Agora’s market leadership in outdoor
and will better position it in nationwide ad campaigns. The latter is capex on
the organically growing cinema business. Following a few unsuccessful
attempts to expand into new segments, Agora’s current strategy focuses on
strengthening its position in more predictable where it has experience, which
should offset revenue erosion coming from the press segment.

Valuation
We value Agora using two methods: DCF and peer multiples. Our final fair
value is an average of these two methods (each with a 50% weighting).
DCF
We use a DCF with a 10Y forecast period; however, as we are at the end of
2014, we use net debt 2014E and FCF in 2015E-2023E. We use a RFR of 2.8%
(vs 3.4% previously) and beta at 1.0x (unchanged).

Valuation Methodology
TVN:
We value all media stocks using two methods: DCF and peer valuation. The
final fair value is a weighted average of these two methods, where each has a
50% weighting. Using DCF we arrive to PLN 18.0/share while using a peer
multiple valuation we reach of PLN 17.7. Our final value is at PLN 17.9/sh,
implying 14% upside potential.
Agora:
We value Agora using two methods: DCF and peer multiples. Our final fair
value is an average of these two methods (each with a 50% weighting). We
also add to Agora’s fair value the value of the 41% stake in Stopklatka TV.
Using DCF we arrive to PLN 9.4/sh while our peer valuation yields PLN 11.1/sh.
Our final fair value is PLN 10.3/sh, implying 32% potential upside.
Risks to Fair Value
TVN:
Weaker than expected performance of TV ad market in the future,
Stronger than expected dilution of TVN audience share coming from DTT and
market fragmentation
Lower than expected synergies from N-platform & Canal+ merger
Agora:
Stronger than expected erosion in press circulation,
Slower than expected development of cinema screens, triggering lower
admission,
Weak movie line up resulting in lower admission,
Outdoor not a segment of best choice in upcoming elections,
Reducing popularity of Gazeta.pl internet portal triggering dilution of internet
ad market share,
Value destructive acquisitions in the internet segment
