12/5/2017 09:31	katie priceless: ITV needs to focus on on-demand, says Hargreaves Lansdown 11/05/2017 A squeeze on advertising has pushed first quarter trading at ITV (ITV) behind expectations, and Hargreaves Lansdown said the broadcaster must focus on on-demand services to compete. ITV’s first quarter results reported revenue falls of 3% and advertising income shrinking by 9%. At the time of writing the shares were trading down 1.7%, or 3.4p, at 197p. Analyst George Salmon said: ‘Advertising makes up a sizeable chunk of ITV’s top line and the clouds hanging over the economy mean ad budgets are being cut, which is weighing on the shares. However, if it were not for outgoing chief executive Adam Crozier, one can’t help but feel that the near 10% decline in the share price since Brexit would have been much worse.’ Salmon said that ITV would have to focus on the ITV Hub, its on-demand service, in order to compete with Amazon and Netflix. ‘The fact is we are changing how we watch TV. We can now choose how, where and when we watch our favourite shows… the development of the ITV Hub will surely be a priority. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
11/5/2017 21:39	katie priceless: Special dividends have long been overshadowed by share buybacks. The latter has proven popular with company management due in part to its positive effect on EPS, which is often linked to bonuses, and the flexibility it brings. This contrasts with ordinary dividends, which the market expects to be repeated in future years once they have commenced. However, ITV (LON:ITV) is one of the few companies in the FTSE 100 which pays a special dividend. In 2016 it amounted to 5p per share. It took the company’s total yield including ordinary dividends to over 6%, which puts it in the top decile of large-cap income stocks. In my view, ITV’s special dividend means more than just a high yield. It signals a confident outlook and a business model which has been drastically improved in the last few years. Despite obvious risks from Brexit and a change in CEO, this makes ITV a sound long-term buy. Special dividend appeal Special dividends could become more valuable over the medium term due to the forecast rise in inflation. It has already risen from 0.8% at the time of the EU referendum to 2.3%. The Bank of England expects it to reach 2.7% by the end of 2018, although numerous other forecasts have the figure at closer to 4% than 3%. In such a scenario, investors may begin to favour companies which can offer a relatively large real dividend yield. With ITV yielding over 6% when its special dividend is added to its ordinary dividend, this could make it a prime income target. This contrasts with other FTSE 100 stocks which are engaging in share buybacks. On paper, it may be a logical means of returning excess cash to investors. As mentioned, share buybacks have a positive effect on EPS and can help to support a company’s share price. Further, I believe they make sense when a company’s share price is relatively low and offers good value for money. However, a key part of investing is investor sentiment. Looking ahead, special dividends could cause a step-change in sentiment towards a company’s shares, while a share buyback may have a rather more muted effect on a company’s stock price. Risks While investors buying ITV shares have now missed the 2016 special dividend of 5p per share, the company paid a special dividend in 2015 of 10p per share. Therefore, a special dividend does not seem to be a one-off event. While there is no guarantee of more special dividends, there is a good chance they will be repeated in future due to the improving nature of ITV’s business model. Of course, ITV faces two clear risks to its financial performance over the medium term. The first is the potential impact of Brexit. Already, the UK retail sector is experiencing some disruption from a higher rate of inflation caused by weaker sterling. As mentioned, this situation could worsen and force real disposable incomes even lower. In such a scenario, UK-focused consumer companies may find their sales and profitability fall. This could impact negatively on their advertising budgets. The second major risk facing ITV is the resignation of its CEO, Adam Crozier. During his eight-year tenure, ITV has become a much stronger business. For example, adjusted EPS has increased by 844%, as the company has benefited from a greater international focus and more diversification. Clearly, the rest of the ITV management team deserve some credit for recent success. However, while a new CEO is likely to continue with the current strategy, change inevitably brings a degree of risk for investors in ITV. Investment opportunity As mentioned, the outlook for the business is uncertain. In the company’s Q1 results, it reported a fall in external revenue of 3%. This was in line with its expectations, with the company anticipating further challenges in Q2. However, it expects to grow its share of the broadcast market this year, and is due to deliver strong growth in Online, Pay & Interactive, where demand for online advertising remains strong. Further, ITV Studios is expected to report good organic revenue growth, with over 75% of expected sales secured for the year. ITV is also making encouraging progress with operational efficiencies. It expects to deliver £25 million in overhead savings this year, as well as a £25 million reduction in the programme budget due to the absence of a major sporting event. These savings should help to offset the expected fall in revenue to at least some degree. The company is forecast to report a fall in EPS of 5% this year and a rise of 4% next year. In my opinion, guidance is of limited use in ITV’s case, since Brexit and a change in CEO present the potential for major change which could have a positive or negative impact on its outlook. Its P/E ratio of 11.5 suggests the market is pricing in a large margin of safety, which I believe gives its shares appeal from a long-term investment perspective. Outlook Special dividends could become increasingly sought after. While share buybacks are a logical means of returning excess capital to investors and improving share price performance through increasing EPS, I feel investors may place a greater value on a higher income return. Inflation is forecast to move higher, which could prompt a shift in attitudes towards dividend stocks. Since ITV’s yield including ordinary and special dividends is over 6%, I feel it could become more popular among investors. The company faces an uncertain future due to risks including a change in CEO and Brexit. While this is expected to cause a fall in its profitability in financial year 2017, its share price could perform relatively well. The company is increasing its market share and generating efficiencies in order to create a stronger business for the long term. Therefore, since it has a relatively low P/E ratio and a sound long-term strategy, it seems to offer good value for money. From Master Investor Magazine. Read Full Thread Follow Reply

08/11/2016 16:38	mj19: Telly timeThe dark winter nights are peak time for broadcasters as more of us sit in front of the goggle box rather than brave the cold outdoors. Let's hope this is good news for ITV(LSE: ITV), which has hardly been compulsive viewing lately. After seven years of unmissable growth, investors have been turning off in droves, with its share price falling 33% over the past 12 months.Brexit was a blow but you can't blame it for everything, ITV's share price was already in steady decline, falling almost a quarter between the start of the year and the referendum on 23 June, largely due to fears of slowing advertising sales. This overlooked that fact that the group posted a healthy double-digit rise in Q1 sales. Half-year results were also healthy, with an 11% rise in external revenue to £1.5bn, which included a 31% rise in ITV Studios total revenue to £651m. However, net advertising revenue was flat at £838m.Future programmingAs the UK economy continues to shrug off Brexit fears, ITV may be stronger than the market thinks. Chief executive Adam Crozier has done a decent job of diversifying the business, with ITV Studios bringing in new revenues from original programming, boosting overseas earnings and easing the reliance on advertising. He has also strengthened the balance sheet and cut net debt.Trading on a forecast valuation of 10.4 times earnings with a yield of 4.3%, ITV looks tempting for those who still think there's life in the UK economy next year. But with earnings per share forecast to be flat this year and next, you may have to wait a while for the share price to spring forwards. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
28/6/2016 06:06	mikeran: oversold and manipulated by the US computers my view. ITV share price down but it’s still a ‘top pick’ Shares in ITV (ITV) may have fallen last week after the referendum vote was announced but nothing has changed in the fundamentals of the broadcaster. Liberum analyst Ian Whittaker reiterated his ‘buy’ recommendation and target of 375p on the stock. The shares were trading at 166.8p yesterday, down 28.9% since the referendum result was announced. ‘ITV’s share price fell c.20% on Friday post-the Brexit vote,’ he said. ‘Yet nothing has changes with the fundamentals and, even if we did assume an advertising decline of post-Lehman’s proportions, ITV would still look cheap with a very attractive dividend yield. ‘The decline in the share price and the fall in sterling also potentially increases the chances of mergers and acquisition activity. Reiterate as a top pick.’ Read Full Thread Follow Reply

17/5/2016 19:52	farmai: I am interested in his views Boix but they are completely opposite to mine both on Europe, the market and ITV share price. I enjoy his posts because they help me test my conviction. Not remotely worried about ITV. The pain in this company was taken in January and February, The performance since has just been noise. With the dividend we are at 220p, so its really just a 5% drop since mid March, which in understandable to a degree given the deterioration in April. But right now I am very happy with the shares and expect a Q3 recovery in business trends. Its nice to see the volatility disappear but maybe thats just a Monday thing ! I dimply recall them being up last Monday before getting wrecked. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
12/5/2016 14:10	soundbuy: UBS Event: Weak TV NAR Q116 trading update and soft H1 outlook ITV Q116 revenues grew 14% to £755m driven by ITV Studios +44% to £322m (driven by M&A, organic +2%) as NAR fell -0.5% to £433m. Non-Broadcast revenue grew +11.6% with consumption up +22%. ITV Family SOV improved +20bps to 21.2% with ITV1 SOV +50bps to 15.3%. ITV Family SOCI however fell -70bps to 34.4% despite better ratings underpinned by BBC losses, a better Formats performance, and bringforward of drama (Midsummer Murders) despite key soaps posting continued declines. ITV has guided for flat H116 TV NAR implying flat Q216 growth which is soft in the context of the Euros in June 10th to July 10th and weak comps pcp (Q215 -0.5%). ITV Studios is expected to grow FY16 revenue and profits by double digits (UBS +12%/10%). Impact: Adjusted EPS cut by 5-12% in FY16-19E Post Q116 we cut FY16-19E EPS by 5-12%. Downgrades stem from a weaker TV NAR. We now expect FY16 TV NAR to grow +1% from +4% previously and +1% in 2017 from +2%. Post 2018 we think TV NAR will struggle to grow as linear audience fragmentation offsets underlying CPM inflation. Our 2016 forecasts assume a Q416 recovery (+3%) but this could be at risk depending on the macro environment in H216. Our revised forecasts see ITV deliver an adjusted FY15-19E EPS CAGR of only 1% with growth primarily driven by ITV Studios. Broadcast EBITA is forecast to grow less than 1%. Action: Sell Maintained despite a 17% share price fall ytd On lower earnings, ITV trades on 16.8x FY16E P/FCF and 13.8x FY16E EV/EBIT, a premium to International peers (10x). With EPS set to slow with a softer TV NAR outlook, EPS should increasingly become dependent on Studios execution and potential M&A. Studios momentum is positive but we remain concerned over the long-term appeal of non-scripted and the associated cost to build a scripted model in an increasingly competitive environment. Moreover, SOV and SOCI are at deflated levels. Improving programming ROI is likely to be challenging and take time and investment to recover. Valuation: Cut to £1.95 DCF-based target price We cut our DCF price target to £1.95 from £2.30. Broadcast and Online are valued at an implied 9.2x FY16E EBITA and account for 72% of our EV. Studios are valued at an implied 12x FY16E EBITA adjusting for £303m in future commitments. Credit Suisse. ■ Q1 revenues ~6% ahead; Studios very strong, NAR in line: ITV’s brief Q1 IMS ahead of the AGM today reported revenues approximately 6% ahead of consensus driven by a strong beat in Studios. NAR growth was -0.5%, broadly in line with consensus and guidance of “flat”. ■ Q2 outlook muted as expected: ITV expects Q2 NAR to be flat (cons 1% to 2%), with April -13%, May 0%, and June +15% (driven by Euro2016) due to uncertainty surrounding the referendum. ■ Buyers lower forecasts again: Feedback from a large buyer this week suggests 2016 NAR will now be 1.6%, from 2.9% in our last survey. We lower our 16E NAR forecast to 1.2% from 2.9%. Despite significant revisions in 2016 we still think buyers’ expectations are generally accurate, but believe there is a decline in their reliability when forecasting one-off “shocks” to the ad market (i.e. EU referendum, UK general election, FIFA World Cup). ■ Audience share in first 17 weeks continues to grow: Encouragingly ITV core channel grew SOV +3% while SOCI was flat. ITV Family SOV grew +1%, SOCI fell -2%. This should moderate structural concerns that ongoing SOV declines will lead to ITV ad share declines. ■ Good expected H1 profit growth despite NAR concerns: Despite softer NAR and H1 loaded production costs, ITV expect “good profit growth” in H1 (CSe 2%) driven by Studios as well as Online, Pay and Interactive. ■ Valuation, TP lowered to 255p from 270p: ITV is trading on 9.6x 16E EV/EBITDA, 12.6x 16E P/E (-15% and -35% discount EU Media ex internet) and 7.4% 16E FCFY. We believe concerns around ITV are cyclical and attempts to attach a structural rationale are misplaced. ITV’s attractive content business and potential for future cash returns (CSe 16E leverage, 0.5x) creates an attractive long-term investment case, in our view. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
