We upgrade Wanda Cinema to Buy from Hold after a recent share price pull-back and more attractive valuation. In addition, Wanda Cinema announced a strategic investment of a 20% stake in Mtime, a leading movie platform in China. As we mentioned in our initiation report, the company continues to consolidate the market through investments in domestic theatre chains, upstream producers, overseas operators, and online platforms. We like Wanda's strong fundamentals and high growth potential, organically and through consolidation.
Strategic investment in Mtime, a leading movie e-platform Wanda Cinema announced it will invest in a 20% stake in Mtime Holdings, a leading China online platform for movie information, film review community, online ticketing and movie byproduct retailing. With this strategic investment, Wanda plans to invest in the ecommerce O2O business and build better connections between movie screening, and film promotion and movie byproduct retailing. We believe the investment will support the development of Wanda’s “Member+” strategy to build a strong eco-system.
Continues to consolidate the market In July 2015, Wanda announced three 100% acquisitions: the Shimao theatre chain, along with film production and investment company Muwei Cultural Media and the Australia-based Hoyt’s chain. The company’s strategic investment in Mtime marks its fourth consolidation move in 2015, and we expect further consolidation in the sector.
Valuation seems more attractive after share price pull-back; risks We derive our target price of RMB202 on DCF-based valuation with WACC of 8.3% and a terminal growth rate of 4% for structural growth in China’s film industry. The stock is trading at 46x our 2016E EPS, which implies 1.5x PEG on our 30% earnings CAGR over 2016-18E. Key risks include loss of policy support from the government, piracy issues and competition from online media.

Wanda’s Member+ strategy
Wanda Cinema introduced a Member+ strategy and plans to build a Member+
eco-system using its large membership base as building blocks. The eco-
system has four main parts:
An open movie-ticketing e-commerce platform.
Paid “online theatres” focusing on movies and sport events.
Movie-related product stores: the company plans to open more than
20 by 2015 and 80-100 more stores in 2016.
Cooperation with companies in different industries such as partnership
with Tencent on movie-related games, and fashion brands.

Mtime to facilitate the development of Member+ strategy
We believe the strategic investment in Mtime provides Wanda Cinema with a
broader user base and a well developed online movie review and promotion
platform.
Wanda could create synergies between its strong offline theatre chains and
Mtime’s user base, and develop a well rounded open O2O platform that serves
all film producers, theatre operators and movie viewers.

Upgrade to Buy
We believe Wanda’s valuation has become more attractive after the recent
share price pull-back. We upgrade the stock to Buy from Hold.
We maintain our estimate on Wanda Cinema and leave unchanged our DCF-
based target price of RMB202. We like Wanda Cinema’s fundamental story,
and see upside potential to the company’s current valuation after the recent
market adjustment. Our price target implies upside of 25%.
DCF-based valuation
Our key valuation assumptions remain the same:
WACC of 8.3%.
Target 75% equity for its capital structure, as guided by management.
The company is now in a net cash position.
Cost of equity of 9.5%.
A risk-free rate of 3.9% and market risk premium of 5.6% (in line
with our in-house estimates).
A beta of 1.0 (we are being conservative here). Wanda IPO-ed in
the A share market on 22 January 2015; given its short trading
history, we see no comparable domestic peers. To be conservative,
we assume a beta of 1.0 in our DCF-based valuation.
Cost of debt of 6.0% (our in-house estimates).
Terminal growth of 4%.
A tax rate of 25% (for terminal growth).

Valuation is reasonable after market adjustment
After market adjustments over the past one month, Wanda is now trading at
46x our forecast 2016 EPS. This implies a PEG of 1.5x on our earnings CAGR of
30% over 2016-18E.
We see upside potential in the company’s current valuation, given its strong
fundamentals and rapid expansion pace with theatre development and
consolidation.

2H15 outlook
We are conservative in our 2H15 forecast
We forecast revenue growth of 34% yoy in 2H15 to RMB3.8bn,
compared with 41% yoy in 1H15. We expect full-year revenue to grow
37% yoy in 2015 to RMB7.3bn.
Wanda’s revenue may outperform our forecast, as several great
domestic and international movies have screened in recent
months. Domestic films such as Monster Hunt, Jian Bing Man and
Monkey King shown in July 2015, and Go Away Mr Tumour, The
Dead End and The Assassin shown in August 2015 all received
positive reviews and high scores on Douban. Popular Hollywood
movie Germinator Genisys just came on screen in late August, and
Mission Impossible: Rouge Nation and Minions are coming into
cinemas in September.
Wanda’s monthly operational data showed strong box office
admission revenue growth of 50% yoy in July 2015, compared
with 43% yoy in 1H15.
We expect gross margin to remain flat in 2H15, vs. a 0.5ppt
improvement in 1H15. In our view, as the company plans to introduce
31 new theatres in 2H15, the lower margin associated with newly
opened theatres could pull down the gross margin of the box office
admission business.
We estimate 2H15 net profit will grow 45% yoy to RMB555m in 2H15,
compared with 50% yoy growth in 1H15. We expect 2H15 EPS to
come in at RMB0.97, up 27% yoy, due to the dilation effect of the IPO.

Risks
Downside risks
Removal of tax exemption and/or government subsidies. VAT on films
screening in suburban areas is currently exempted. In addition, the
authority returns part of the film funds, based on the screening of
domestic films and digital screening infrastructure. The removal of tax
exemption and/or government subsidies could negatively affect
Wanda’s profitability.
Piracy. Piracy has always been an issue in China, where unauthorised
parties create copies without copyright. Pirated copies are distributed
in the market at significantly lower costs and this damages the
operating environment of theatre circuits.
Competition from online distribution and new media. As the internet is
becoming increasingly accessible, online entertainment poses a threat
to traditional theatre operators. Online video sites such as Youku and
web-based show platforms such as YY offer consumers much cheaper
film viewing and/or entertainment. Nonetheless, we believe theatres
provide a much better movie watching experience than new media,
and would not be replaced by new media.
Lack of supply from upstream film producers. Supply of high-quality
films drives demand and impacts the box office. The quality of films is
directly linked to their box office revenues. China currently has a quota
on the number of foreign films and the supply of high-quality domestic
films is limited. A lack of high-quality films could hurt box office
revenue.
Poor theatre locations. The choice of new theatres’ locations is
important and has a deep impact on movie viewer volume. Poor
decisions on theatre location could result in low return.
Increase in rental fees. Wanda’s theatres operate on an asset-light
model, and pay a rental fee based on box office revenue. Currently,
Wanda pays c. 11% of the box office as rental fee and an increase in
the percentage could directly affect its profit margin.

Additional Information
The information and opinions in this report were prepared by Deutsche Bank AG or one of its affiliates (collectively
"Deutsche Bank"). Though the information herein is believed to be reliable and has been obtained from public sources
believed to be reliable, Deutsche Bank makes no representation as to its accuracy or completeness.
Deutsche Bank may consider this report in deciding to trade as principal. It may also engage in transactions, for its own
account or with customers, in a manner inconsistent with the views taken in this research report. Others within
Deutsche Bank, including strategists, sales staff and other analysts, may take views that are inconsistent with those
taken in this research report. Deutsche Bank issues a variety of research products, including fundamental analysis,
equity-linked analysis, quantitative analysis and trade ideas. Recommendations contained in one type of communication
may differ from recommendations contained in others, whether as a result of differing time horizons, methodologies or
otherwise. Deutsche Bank and/or its affiliates may also be holding debt securities of the issuers it writes on.
Analysts are paid in part based on the profitability of Deutsche Bank AG and its affiliates, which includes investment
banking revenues.
Opinions, estimates and projections constitute the current judgment of the author as of the date of this report. They do
not necessarily reflect the opinions of Deutsche Bank and are subject to change without notice. Deutsche Bank has no
obligation to update, modify or amend this report or to otherwise notify a recipient thereof if any opinion, forecast or
estimate contained herein changes or subsequently becomes inaccurate. This report is provided for informational
purposes only. It is not an offer or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any financial instruments or to participate in any
particular trading strategy. Target prices are inherently imprecise and a product of the analyst’s judgment. The financial
instruments discussed in this report may not be suitable for all investors and investors must make their own informed
investment decisions. Prices and availability of financial instruments are subject to change without notice and
investment transactions can lead to losses as a result of price fluctuations and other factors. If a financial instrument is
denominated in a currency other than an investor's currency, a change in exchange rates may adversely affect the
investment. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Unless otherwise indicated, prices are
current as of the end of the previous trading session, and are sourced from local exchanges via Reuters, Bloomberg and
other vendors. Data is sourced from Deutsche Bank, subject companies, and in some cases, other parties.
Macroeconomic fluctuations often account for most of the risks associated with exposures to instruments that promise
to pay fixed or variable interest rates. For an investor who is long fixed rate instruments (thus receiving these cash
flows), increases in interest rates naturally lift the discount factors applied to the expected cash flows and thus cause a
loss. The longer the maturity of a certain cash flow and the higher the move in the discount factor, the higher will be the
loss. Upside surprises in inflation, fiscal funding needs, and FX depreciation rates are among the most common adverse
macroeconomic shocks to receivers. But counterparty exposure, issuer creditworthiness, client segmentation, regulation
(including changes in assets holding limits for different types of investors), changes in tax policies, currency
convertibility (which may constrain currency conversion, repatriation of profits and/or the liquidation of positions), and
settlement issues related to local clearing houses are also important risk factors to be considered. The sensitivity of fixed
income instruments to macroeconomic shocks may be mitigated by indexing the contracted cash flows to inflation, to
FX depreciation, or to specified interest rates – these are common in emerging markets. It is important to note that the
index fixings may -- by construction -- lag or mis-measure the actual move in the underlying variables they are intended
to track. The choice of the proper fixing (or metric) is particularly important in swaps markets, where floating coupon
rates (i.e., coupons indexed to a typically short-dated interest rate reference index) are exchanged for fixed coupons. It is
also important to acknowledge that funding in a currency that differs from the currency in which coupons are
denominated carries FX risk. Naturally, options on swaps (swaptions) also bear the risks typical to options in addition to
the risks related to rates movements.
Derivative transactions involve numerous risks including, among others, market, counterparty default and illiquidity risk.
The appropriateness or otherwise of these products for use by investors is dependent on the investors' own
circumstances including their tax position, their regulatory environment and the nature of their other assets and
liabilities, and as such, investors should take expert legal and financial advice before entering into any transaction similar

exchange rates can be volatile and are subject to large fluctuations; ( ii) the value of currencies may be affected by
numerous market factors, including world and national economic, political and regulatory events, events in equity and
debt markets and changes in interest rates; and (iii) currencies may be subject to devaluation or government imposed
exchange controls which could affect the value of the currency. Investors in securities such as ADRs, whose values are
