Mondo’s licensing activities advanced significantly in the first half of the year, supporting a 67% increase in net profit. With Mondo’s developed pipeline, we are confident regarding delivery of the group’s FY17 budget and we increase our FY17e net profit by 5%, broadly in line with management’s raised guidance. We believe Mondo’s c 30% valuation discount to peers is unwarranted given the improving record of delivering to plan.

H117 highlights: Strong licensing sales

Mondo’s first half results demonstrate the significant progress the group has made in developing its licensing business over the last year. Revenues, which increased by 34% y-o-y to €15.3m, include €10.6m licensing sales (H116: €0.3m). While production and rights sales were lower than the same period last year, this is a function of the timing of deliveries rather than a lack of projects. We expect these revenues to increase in the second half of the year, with the completion of Season 2 (S2) of Sissi and additional episodes of Invention Story and The Rowly Powlys. We also understand that there are a number of rights deals pending. EBITDA of €11.1m increased by 40%, due to mix effects, as well as the ongoing benefit from the group’s reorganisation. Inclusive of foreign exchange loss on the translation of its receivables balance, net profit increased by 67% to €5.7m.

Outlook: Net profit guidance raised

Post period end, Mondo also announced the extension of its new teen fiction show Heidi for another two series, and the deepening of its involvement in Robot Trains, where it is currently involved in the licensing and distribution, to also become co-producer on the next season. This demonstrates management’s confidence in the development of these newer brands and further underpins Mondo’s five-year plan to deliver EBITDA of €64m by 2020. Management has slightly increased guidance for net profit this year by 3% from €11.6m to €12.0m. Given the good start to the year, we mirror this guidance in our forecasts.

Valuation: Discount to children’s entertainment peers

The shares have responded positively to the increased guidance. Nevertheless, they continue to trade a discount to peers in the children’s entertainment space and other Italian media stocks. Given the group’s improving track record, strong pipeline and significantly higher EBIT margins than peers, we believe this is unjustified. Announcements of additional licensing deals or significant new partners should help build confidence in the deliverability of its 2020 plan and close the c 30% FY18 EV/EBIT and P/E discounts to peers.

H117 results highlights: Delivering to plan

Mondo’s H117 results were broadly as reported in July’s trading update.

Total revenues of €15.3m increased 34% y-o-y, driven by very strong performance in licensing and internationally, in line with the group’s strategy:

■

Licensing revenues were €10.6m (H116: €0.3m), principally due to the contribution from Playtime Buddies, The Rowly Powlys and Sissi. In the second half of the year management anticipates first sales from its new flagship brand, Robot Trains.

■

Rights sales at €1.9m (H116: €5.4m) which, along with library sales, reflect first sales for Season 1 (S1) of Heidi and Final Fight. A number of rights deals are pending and management expects them to close in the second half of the year.

■

Production revenues of €2.7m (H116: €5.7m) reflects the delivery of Sissi for Broadvision, S1 of Invention Story (part of the $25m four-year York contract) and its Abu Dhabi Media contract. Production revenues can be fairly lumpy, subject to the delivery dates of key projects. In the second half of the year management expects to see a stronger contribution from production with the planned completion of Sissi S2, further deliveries of Invention Story, and The Rowly Powlys.

In an effort to increase efficiencies, as well as the change in revenue mix towards higher-margin licence sales, last year’s reorganisation enabled EBITDA to increase by 40% to €11.1m. After a €3.1m amortisation of the library, EBIT increased by 52% to €8.0m. Finance costs of €1.2m include €1m foreign currency translation effects in the value of the group’s dollar-denominated trade receivables. Including this charge and €1.4m tax (21% effective rate), net profit increased by 67% to €5.7m.

Outlook: Budget underpinned by pipeline

As outlined in our July 2017 initiation, World-class animations group, Mondo has a well-developed pipeline, which underpins its five-year plan to deliver EBITDA of €64m by 2020. It has had a good start to the year, and management has increased its guidance for net profit for FY17 from €11.6m to €12.0m. (Given that this includes €1m of foreign exchange losses, the underlying increase is more significant.)

We are also encouraged by the group’s recent announcements with regard to the extension of its interest in Heidi for an additional two series, as well as a deepening of its role in Robot Trains (for CJ E&M), from distributor and licensing agent (S1) to co-producer on S2, which further supports the business plan in the coming years.

Although we expect margins, which should have a greater share of production sales than H1, to come down in the second half (Exhibit 3 summarises the key elements in the pipeline), we believe management is on track to deliver its increased FY17 budget and we are updating our forecasts to reflect this, as summarised in Exhibit 2.

Cash flow

During the first half Mondo invested €7.7m in content and €6.6m of working capital was absorbed, principally in relation to the production of Invention Story, Beastkeepers, Partidei, Sissi and The Rowly Powlys as well as Heidi. We expect investment in content to increase in the second half, reflecting the strong production pipeline, but working capital requirements should moderate as H1 royalties are collected.

Inclusive of a further €13.8m investment in content acquisition and production (Heidi S2, Invention Story, Sissi S2 and S3), we forecast year-end net cash of €0.6m (from €2.0m previously forecast).

In July 2016 Mondo reached an agreement with Atlas Alpha Yield Fund (Atlas) and Atlas Capital Markets (ACM) for the issue of up to €15m of convertible bonds (€250k each). Net debt at June 2017 of €2.2m includes a further €3.75m of these bonds (which have subsequently all converted) meaning that to date €12m of the €15m facility has been called. We no longer expect the full facility to be issued by the year end and update our forecasts to assume that the remaining €3m is drawn in 2018.

Valuation

As before, we have adjusted (upwards by €14m) Mondo’s headline enterprise value for the minority values of the listed subsidiaries. We also prefer to look to FY18 multiples given the expected increase in amortisation and the dilutive impact of the convertible.

On this more conservative basis, Mondo trades on an EV/EBIT multiple of 7.7x in FY17 and 8.6x in FY18, and a P/E multiple of 10.4x in FY17 and 12.1x in FY18. Compared to the average of peers in the children’s entertainment sector, as well as other Italian media groups (Exhibit 4), Mondo trades at a 31% EV/EBIT discount in FY18, despite its significantly higher EBIT margin, and a 33% P/E discount. Announcements of additional licensing deals or significant new partners should help build confidence in the deliverability of its ambitious targets and close discount to peers.

Edison US relies upon the "publishers' exclusion" from the definition of investment adviser under Section 202(a)(11) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and corresponding state securities laws. As such, Edison does not offer or provide personalised advice. We publish information about companies in which we believe our readers may be interested and this information reflects our sincere opinions. The information that we provide or that is derived from our website is not intended to be, and should not be construed in any manner whatsoever as, personalised advice. Also, our website and the information provided by us should not be construed by any subscriber or prospective subscriber as Edison’s solicitation to effect, or attempt to effect, any transaction in a security. The research in this document is intended for New Zealand resident professional financial advisers or brokers (for use in their roles as financial advisers or brokers) and habitual investors who are “wholesale clients” for the purpose of the Financial Advisers Act 2008 (FAA) (as described in sections 5(c) (1)(a), (b) and (c) of the FAA). This is not a solicitation or inducement to buy, sell, subscribe, or underwrite any securities mentioned or in the topic of this document. This document is provided for information purposes only and should not be construed as an offer or solicitation for investment in any securities mentioned or in the topic of this document. A marketing communication under FCA Rules, this document has not been prepared in accordance with the legal requirements designed to promote the independence of investment research and is not subject to any prohibition on dealing ahead of the dissemination of investment research. Edison has a restrictive policy relating to personal dealing. Edison Group does not conduct any investment business and, accordingly, does not itself hold any positions in the securities mentioned in this report. However, the respective directors, officers, employees and contractors of Edison may have a position in any or related securities mentioned in this report. Edison or its affiliates may perform services or solicit business from any of the companies mentioned in this report. The value of securities mentioned in this report can fall as well as rise and are subject to large and sudden swings. In addition it may be difficult or not possible to buy, sell or obtain accurate information about the value of securities mentioned in this report. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. Forward-looking information or statements in this report contain information that is based on assumptions, forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable, and therefore involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of their subject matter to be materially different from current expectations. For the purpose of the FAA, the content of this report is of a general nature, is intended as a source of general information only and is not intended to constitute a recommendation or opinion in relation to acquiring or disposing (including refraining from acquiring or disposing) of securities. The distribution of this document is not a “personalised service” and, to the extent that it contains any financial advice, is intended only as a “class service” provided by Edison within the meaning of the FAA (ie without taking into account the particular financial situation or goals of any person). As such, it should not be relied upon in making an investment decision. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Edison, its affiliates and contractors, and their respective directors, officers and employees will not be liable for any loss or damage arising as a result of reliance being placed on any of the information contained in this report and do not guarantee the returns on investments in the products discussed in this publication.
