Ten Square Games: Mastering live ops

We keep a BUY rating on TEN and lift our FV to PLN 133 (from PLN 118) driven mostly by an upward rerating of the peer valuation where P/E method now points to PLN 135.5/sh (vs PLN 98.9 before) and EV/EBIT of PLN 117.3 (vs PLN 94.5 before). Visibly higher peer valuation is a result of two issues. First, upward rerating of TEN peer group (1YF/2YF P/E of 21.8/17.4x vs 18.6/16x before) and some minor upgrades to our forecasts (1YF/2YF net income upped by 6/2%). However, more than peer valuation we would focus on TEN fundamentals as they look very good. Fishing Clash momentum remains very high with avg monthly revs at PLN 11.3m in Jan-Feb’19 vs PLN 11.6m in 4Q18 and SensorTower data point to record high numbers in Mar’19 (exp PLN 13.5m). TEN seems to have mastered live ops as its FC ARPMAU is continuously growing, reaching a phenomenal PLN 7.7 in 4Q18 (vs PLN 5.2 in 3Q18). TEN excellence in live ops is also seen in Let’s Fish as this 7 year old F2P game is scoring highest ever revs despite its MAU gradually decreasing, purely on growing ARPMAU which reached PLN 2.9 in 4Q18 vs PLN 2.3 in 3Q18. We stress TEN skills in live ops as it seems to be a key for success in the more competitive F2P industry. Apart from that, TEN’s short-term outlook is rather promising with Golf Rush’s soft launch scheduled for Apr’19 and pending debut in China (not included in our forecasts).
