Redstone, Chairman/Founder of Viacom • Grow film entertainment business • Strategically produce smaller slate of movies/year (~20), allocating 3-4 titles to franchise/brand movies • Higher Margin Digital Distributors • Amazon, Hulu, Netflix • Growing internationally • Expanding into newer platforms

  22. Company Analysis2011 Highlights Key Metrics for this content-driven industry: Media Networks Film Entertainment Box office sales Paramount is 2nd to Disney’s Buena Vista with 18 films in the top 100 grossing films (from 1973-2011) Top 5 studio makers (from 2006-2011) • Viewership ratings: How many “eyeballs” network captured • The 2011 Video Music Awards (VMAs) attracted the VMAs’ largest audience in MTV history • MTV Network (Jersey Shore) • Comedy Central earned double-digit ratings growth in September (The Roast of Charlie Sheen) • BET Networks achieved another record-breaking year of ratings • Centric (Second Year) double-digit viewer gains in the fourth quarter

  24. Company Analysis – Box Office 2011 Data Source: VIA Results for the Quarter and Year Ended Sept 30, 2011

  25. Company Analysis Current News • Listing on Nasdaq from NYSE due to cost efficiencies • Change of fiscal year end to September 2011 • Paramount Picture is set to integrate its DVD and Blu-ray disc sales unit along with its digital video licensing division to create a brand new division called the Home Media Distribution (As of Sept, 2011) • Shift its staff from London to the Los Angeles unit • Development of its own animation unit

  26. Total Asset of Viacom(2011)

  27. Financial Risk • Interest Payable Debt Ratio is 32% (2012) • Adjusted Debt Ratio(by Taking Out Goodwill and Intangible) is 65% • Seems Safe from Financial Risk Unit: Mil. ($) Source: 10-K 2011

  28. Capital Returns to Shareholders • Stock Repurchase Program • 7.2 Billion Dollars more will be used to repurchase • Current Mar. Cap. for Class B Stock is 24.72 Bil. • Current Shareholders will benefit from it, but it also shows that Viacom can’t find growth in its business

  29. Capital Returns to Shareholders • Dividend - Viacom started paying dividend from 2010. (Payout Ratio is 21% for 2011) - Along with Repurchase Plan, Current Shareholders will benefit from growth in Dividend Per Share - But we think dividend policy is another evidence that shows VIACOM can’t find growth in business

  30. What about the business? • Good cash-cow, but suspicious about its future growth • The recently started dividend policy and repurchase agreement is an evidence that VIACOM can’t find growth in its business • Also, absence of voting right will make the stock treated as preferred-stock or bond asset

  31. Valuation

  32. DCF/Multiple Valuation? Full Voting Rights Common Stocks Total Dividends Full Voting Rights No Voting Rights VIA One Portion of Dividends The other Portion of Dividends VIA-B

  33. Synthesized Common Stock? Full Voting Rights No Voting Rights VIA 1/11 of Total Dividends 1/11 of Total Dividends VIA-B

  34. Synthesized Common Stock? • If we can … • DCF • P/E = (PA + 10 PB)/(11 EPS), multiple valuation • But … • The company is repurchasing Class B stock • Very low trading volume of Class A stock

  35. What we do • For class A, difficult to evaluate voting rights premium • For class B, treat it as preferred stock or annuity • Use dividend discount method • See excel file

  36. Recommendation • Stock value: $38.33 • Stock Price: $44.76 • Put it on watch list
