Entertainment One — Takes full ownership of MGC

Entertainment One — Takes full ownership of MGC

eOne has announced the proposed acquisition of the remaining 49% of the Mark Gordon Company (MGC) for $209m, financed with a mixture of new equity and debt. We estimate that the deal will be slightly earnings accretive in its first year before an anticipated $7-10m of cost synergies. In our view it is a logical extension of the group’s strategy to build a diversified content business.

Acquisition of the remaining 49% in MGC

Subject to shareholder approval, eOne has announced the proposed acquisition of the remaining 49% of MCG for $209m (£148m), taking full ownership of the venture. The transaction will be financed via the issue of $49m in equity to Mark Gordon (founder and CEO), an equity placing of $75m (4.1% of the current share capital) and $100m of new debt. The raise is $15m more than the $209m cost in order to cover associated transaction costs and other smaller acquisitions (not disclosed). This implies a multiple of approximately 8.8x FY19e EBITDA, a small discount to eOne’s own multiple.

Forecasts: Earnings enhancing

MGC has performed well since eOne acquired its original 51% stake in January 2015. Notably, it has added Designated Survivor to its slate of recurring heritage shows and it has released its first film under joint ownership (Molly’s Game). It also has a very active pipeline with c 50 new shows and films in development. Before cost savings, we estimate the acquisition to be 1.7% EPS-enhancing in FY19. This does not take account of a potential $7-10m in cost savings which management estimates could be delivered by 2020 now that it has full ownership. In parallel, management has reiterated that it is on track to deliver results in line with market consensus estimates for FY18e.

Valuation: Building a diversified content business

The acquisition fits with the group’s strategy and tilts its activities further towards the faster-growing areas of Television and Family. In addition, Mark Gordon will take up a new position as chief content officer for the recently merged Film and Television business, which management believes will strengthen its ability to attract creative talent and partners. On a post deal FY19e EV/EBITDA of 9.3x, a discount to peers such as Lionsgate (13.9x) and DHX (10.1x), we believe the shares offer upside potential. Our revised sum-of-the-parts implies a valuation of 380p per share.

Details of the acquisition

Deal terms

eOne will pay $209m (£148m) for the remaining 49% of MGC, taking full ownership of the group. Based on our estimates, this implies a total value of $426m (£303m) for 100%. Before potential cost savings, based on consensus estimates, this implies an EV/EBITDA multiple of 9.5x for FY18 or 8.8x for FY19e, a lower multiple than that paid for the original 51% in January 2015. The purchase price will be financed via:

■

$49m (£35m) of new equity issued to Mark Gordon (12-month lock-in), who will join eOne as chief content officer for the TV and Film business at a group level in order to drive the recently merged business.

■

$175m (£124m) of cash raised through a $75m equity placing (at 305p per share) which closed on the 30 Jan 2017 (4.1% of the pre-issue share capital) and the issuance of $100m of debt (£71m). $15m of the funding will be used for other smaller acquisitions and to cover transaction costs.

■

The deal is classified as a related party transaction and will be voted on at a general meeting at the end of February.

Background to MGC

MGC was founded in 1987 by Mark Gordon and is based in Los Angeles. It has an excellent track record delivering highly rated films and television series including Grey’s Anatomy, Criminal Minds, Ray Donovan and Designated Survivor. MGC’s library also includes around 40 feature films including Speed, Broken Arrow, Saving Private Ryan, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Molly’s Game. eOne acquired the original 51% of MGC in January 2015 for $132.6m.

Historically, revenues have mainly been made up of ‘participation payments’ from broadcasters and film companies that bear the production costs but also retain a significant portion of the content rights. The acquisition by eOne has enabled MGC to increasingly move towards an independent studio model, investment has been increased and the development pipeline has expanded. Its flagship new production since eOne’s acquisition has been Designated Survivor, distributed by ABC and Netflix exclusively outside North America.

Having increased sevenfold last year, MGC revenues increased by a further 82% in H118, although EBITDA expansion has been slower (+10% H118) as new shows are sold on an independent studio model basis. MGC has an active pipeline with approximately 50 shows in production and development along with a number of film projects. In H218, it has delivered season two of Designated Survivor, a new teen drama Youth and Consequences (for YouTube Red) and has released the venture’s first film since joining eOne – Molly’s Game. At the time of the interims, 91% of this year’s expected profits were committed or greenlit and management has reiterated it is on track to deliver to expectations.

Strategic rationale: Streamlined film and television divisions

Mirroring industry trends, management took the decision two years ago to start to align its film and television divisions to create a streamlined approach to content production and distribution. The sales houses were merged in 2016, and last year it announced that it would also merge its film and television studios. Taking full control of MGC fits with this vision and a new management structure has been announced to support the organisational one; Mark Gordon has committed to remain with eOne for at least five years, taking up a new role at the group level as President and Chief Content Officer. He will oversee the development of approximately 200 projects across the enlarged Film and Television divisions. Mark will work alongside Steve Bertram who will provide commercial leadership.

Management also believes that having a renowned creative on the board will in turn strengthen eOne’s ability to attract creative talent and partners, necessary to foster a sustainable production and distribution pipeline. 100% ownership will also enable eOne to fully integrate the venture, with $7-10m of potential annual cost savings identified by 2020.

Forecasts: Earnings enhancing

As eOne already had control of MGC, the acquisition does not change the balance of the business at the EBITDA level however, in removing the minority, it helps to tilt the balance of the business further towards creation, which we believe has a more attractive risk:reward profile than pure distribution.

We have factored in today’s placing. We also assume that the $49m of equity to be issued to Mark Gordon is at the same price and that the transaction and debt issue completes on the last day of February.

We have assumed that the debt issue for $100m will be a tap on an existing bond and so we assume similar terms; although the debt is currently trading at a 6% premium to nominal value and so the effective interest rate will be lower than the 6.9% coupon. We also note that the first call on the bond is in December 2018 when the group would hope to refinance the entire amount at a lower rate, which could add to the earnings upgrades further down the line. We have also assumed that 50% of the additional $15m raised will cover exceptional deal costs.

Overall, we increase our FY19e EPS by 1.7%. The effect of the bond issue is to increase our forecast gearing to 1.7x (from 1.3x), although we expect this to fall back to 1.4x in FY19.

Incremental cost savings would feature in 2020 forecasts, which we plan to initiate at the time of eOne’s full year results.
