Managing FX exposure is part of any company' s capital management strategy - even if they make $0.9M, that' s nothing to shout when they made $3.4M the same period last year. Like-for-like, we remain plagued by covid so expectations are that most companies would have put in place mitigating measures.  If they had sold out tickets for Jay Chou tickets, why not give an indication of what that means for financial performance in 2H22?  Would be curious to see if the covering brokers further cut their estimates following the disappointing results / guidance.

Cash balance keeps shrinking and net cash position keeps declining. Not quite sure where all the money raised from IPO has gone to because it certainly has not been put to good use to grow the company with share price declining, revenues going down. TV program was supposed to be one of the growth drivers but doesn' t seem to be so.  The forward guidance on growth looks vague, weak and non-committal. They' ve also not indicated if dividends will continue this year as I believe the IPO prospectus only mentioned a dividend payout in the first 2 years of listing.  |

If we compare them against the closest peer, Strawbear (2125.HK) listed in HK, GHY presently trades at 3.3x PB (PE 130x against FY21 or 27x FY22) while 2125.HK trades at 0.6x PB and 6.8x PE. Remains to be seen what' s the drag from the core tv production business though the upcoming concerts should provide an uplift.  It seems like their core business hasn' t really been performing so far since listing. A lot of it has gone into receivables but the margin / ROE and ROIC have all compressed substantially over the last 1-2 years. Not sure if this may also be due to their key customers like iQiyi doing a material cost-cutting and right-sizing of their business. Wouldnt be surprised that the customers are now squeezing the content providers such as GHY and Strawbear, etc. Upcoming 1HFY22 numbers will be telling of the situation. |

Despite all these positive developments, company is issuing a profit warning. Given that the results would be out by 15 Aug, isnt it quite late that the company only decide to do a profit warning days before earnings release? https://www.theedgesingapore.com/capital/results/ghy-culture-media-report-loss-1hfy2022 |

Thanks for sharing and makes good sense - companies also need to be able to monetize the content! Positive on GHY but will have to see their half year report card to see how their core tv production business did in the first half.

Content is still king and GHY will be a good proxy for this macro trend.. Douyin, Baidu-backed iQiyi team up for content licensing A new agreement will authorize Douyin, the Chinese equivalent of short-video app TikTok, to use content from iQiyi, the video-streaming platform backed by search giant Baidu, Nikkei Asia reported. Under the deal, Douyin users can take clips from films and shows in iQiyi&rsquo s content library to make their own short videos. The financial details of the agreement, however, remain unclear. The companies are teaming up after repeatedly clashing over alleged copyright violations. The deal &ldquo is a milestone that showcases the mutual respect and collective efforts in protecting intellectual property,&rdquo Gong Yu, iQiyi&rsquo s founder and CEO, said in a statement. In 2020, iQiyi tried to break into the short-video market by launching Suike. Ultimately, the firm decided to stop investing in the platform. Though it has had a history of losses, iQiyi reported its first fruitful quarter earlier this year, gaining US$25 million in profit. Its membership services revenue grew by 4%, but its total revenue decreased by 9% year on year |

GHY is organizing this concert in partnership with TEG Dainty.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts - agree with first 4 points. Point 5 is debatable as the fund raise at IPO was mostly utilized since for working capital. There were some minor acquisitions / 51% investments last year but none that moves the needle, more of investing to expand their capabilities and offerings (for e.g. into the short form videos).  Key to watch for point 3 would be on their high receivables as this can typically be an issue for the industry. This will impact the cash flow generation and ROIC. There are milestone payments to the content producers such as GHY and the full payment may not be received for a multitude of reasons (have not been broadcasted, delay in scheduling pipeline etc).

1. Jay Chou' s two concerts in Singapore are sold out...while Malaysia concert is sold out as well. Viagogo listed Jay Chou tix in Sydney but no tix for sale 2. Concerts will do well for GHY for this year and next as more economies reopen 3. Drama-side, agree that COVID is still a challenge due to China policy. iQiyi is also a shareholder of GHY and also require drama content hence that part i am not too concern 4. GHY has inked collaboration with DOU YIN (TIK TOK) for short drama format so there are likely more channels for revenue diversification.  5. Financially, GHY has minimal borrowings and balance sheet is still strong pls do own your DD...  |

Thanks for sharing. I believe they' ve got a few other performances as well lined up this year including Jay Chou' s concert. Their results have largely disappointed last year after listing - largely due to impact from covid on their tv production / program business but also there were no concerts. While the earnings for concert will pick up this year and going into 2023, not quite sure how the competition for their main tv production will be impacted. Their main customer iQiyi has indicated that they aim to return to profitability so squeezing their content producers on margins / cash flow would not be unexpected. Presumably 1H22 results will remain weak as the concerts are backend loaded in the latter half of the year.

They have been doing shares buyback and have litte borrowings.... DouYin (tiktok) is a big name in tech and super popular globally.  The signing of this short film series with GHY highlights GHY' s track record and reputation in the media and entertainment industry.  |

GHY online short drama series on DOUYIN will have a total of 15 episodes, with each episode approximately 4 minutes long. Douyin has 600 million daily users... Based on 1 episode, users pay RMB 1, assuming only 0.5% pay..that is 3 million paid subscibers and that is RMB 3 million TIMES 15 episodes, that is RMB 45 million (about S$9m sgd).. Good that GHY is diversifing their revenue model..pls do your own DD..   |
