original title: TV company Q3 observation: Huatze made a net profit of 300 million, Tangde grew the fastest, and the loss-making Huanrui century still has a chance to turn around?
as of October 31, the third-quarter reports of listed film and television companies have been announced. For TV series companies, as usual, there were several happy and sad situations: Huatze Film and Television ranked first for three consecutive quarters, and Tangde Film and Television was catching up head-on with a film called "the full moon in bloom that year." and Huanrui has lost money for three quarters in a row.
the reporter found that in the past three months, with the completion of the broadcast of popular movies and TV dramas such as the Legend of Chu Qiao, the full moon that year, ancient love songs, and the Alliance of military Advisors, the film and television companies behind them have also confirmed their revenue in that quarter. The production companies behind these films and TV dramas, such as Huatze Film and Television, Ciwen Media, and Tangde Film and Television, have all grown to varying degrees.
the three quarterly reports of Huatze Film and Television maintained stable performance as usual, with revenue of 2.497 billion yuan from January to September, an increase of 6.04% over the same period last year, and net profit of 308 million yuan, an increase of 9.93% over the same period last year. However, the net profit from July to September was 33.24 million yuan, an increase of 281.88% over the same period last year, while the net profit after deducting 18.65 million yuan, down-172.08% from the same period last year, mainly because Huatze Film and Television transferred shares in Wanda and Helunde Hall during the reporting period.
as a matter of fact, Huatze's online drama boosted its performance in the third quarter. The main contributors to profits are the entire online drama "time knows" and "Seven me", while in the fourth quarter, there are nine all-online dramas that can confirm revenue, including "Sweet strike", "Entrepreneurship era", "sad countercurrent" and "I am willing to love the whole world for you".
it is worth noting that this summer, major video websites have launched online dramas such as "River God", "undocumented Crime" and "Night pursuit". Behind these popular online dramas are the newly rising production teams of online dramas, which has had a great impact on traditional film and television production companies. Huatze Film and Television, Huanrui Century, Ciwen Media and other companies have also laid out online dramas one after another.
in the performance report of the film and television company in the first half of the year, the reporter mentioned that due to the low investment income of the variety module, Huatze Film and Television plans to change the 950 million yuan originally raised to invest in films, variety shows, content copyright and mode procurement to 500 million yuan, and the changed 450 million yuan will be used for the production and operation of all online dramas.
Ciwen Media, which has also stepped up the layout of online dramas, finally passed the fixed increase plan of 1 billion in the first half of the year. In the first three quarters, the operating income increased by 562 million yuan, down 34.06 percent from the same period last year, and the net profit was 150 million yuan, an increase of 2.42 percent over the same period last year. This is mainly due to the decrease in recognized revenue from the film and television business in the first three quarters compared with the same period last year.
however, thanks to the Legend of Chuqiao, "in those years, we were young", "the decisive Battle of Jiangqiao" and "the full Moon in that year" and other popular TV dramas, although the company's revenue dropped sharply in the third quarter, however, the net profit attributed to listed companies in the third quarter was 73.32 million yuan, an increase of 36.84 percent over the same period last year.
and the fastest growth in net profit during the reporting period was Tangde Film and Television. Three quarterly data showed that revenue was 218 million yuan, an increase of 57.61% over the same period last year. Non-net profits belonging to listed companies were deducted from 58.35 million yuan, an increase of 39% over the same period last year. Total revenue in the first three quarters was 529 million yuan, an increase of 30.8% over the same period last year, and 110 million non-net profits, an increase of 25.77% over the same period last year.
the best part of the performance growth is mainly due to the completion of the settlement of the full moon in this quarter, while according to Tangde's semi-annual report, a total of four TV dramas have been issued with license numbers. in addition to "the full moon in bloom that year", the other three TV dramas, "Flowers and the distance", "Dear, long time No see", may complete the pre-sale.
in the case of rising profits of some companies, Warsaw Boehner, Huanrui Century, etc., have seen a decline in performance.
in the first three quarters of 2017, Warsaw Bainer realized operating income of 1.47 billion yuan, down 21.41% from the same period last year; non-net profit from deductions belonging to listed companies was 120 million, down 32.8% from the same period last year. Previously, reporters have analyzed that the decline in the performance of Hualu Bainer is mainly due to the lower profits of the sports and variety sectors, and there are no new works in the production rights of films and TV dramas. It is understood that there are two films and TV dramas in the production stage, "Moonlight in the City" and "Mountain Leopard", but they have not yet been sold.
Huanrui Century, which suffered heavy losses in the first half of the year, achieved 178 million in revenue in this quarter, and the net profit belonging to the listed company turned from loss to profit of 19.09 million yuan, but the net profit of deduction was still at a loss, and the company's net profit from January to September was also in a state of loss.
this is a great pressure on gambling caused by losses for Huanrui, which was successfully listed in a backdoor listing last year. Before going public, Huanrui promised net profits of no less than 231 million, 303 million and 364 million from 2016 to 2018, respectively.
in June this year, Huanrui Film and Television, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huanrui Century, signed a drama purchase contract with Anhui Satellite TV, with an after-tax income of 160 million yuan. Subsequently, Huanrui sold two TV dramas, the Legend of the White Snake in Heaven, and the online customized drama Tomb robbing Note3 for 330 million yuan and 288 million yuan respectively, and sold the exclusive online copyright to iqiyi. It may solve the urgent need of the performance bet of Huanrui Century.
for the listed companies of movies and TV series, the only two months left in 2017 is the key time for them to increase their performance. The profits of the leading companies may look better after the fourth quarter, and the lossmaking companies are also likely to make a comeback in the fourth quarter.
as the TV drama industry is affected by the factors of film and television production cycle, TV series often start shooting in the second half of each year, and the payment can not be completed until the second fiscal year. As a result, the fourth quarter often becomes a sprint moment for the major film and television companies to complete their performance, and the annual performance of film and television companies will be basically locked. However, Tangde Film and Television, Huanrui Century and Huawei Culture, which still have important plays in their hands, are expected to thicken their annual performance in the fourth quarter.
winning the World, which will be broadcast at the end of the year, is a trump card in the hands of Tangde Film and Television this year. Public information shows that the online exclusive rights of "win the World" have been pre-sold ahead of schedule, and the online exclusive rights have been sold at a high price of 480 million yuan. The price of a single episode is more than 8 million yuan, which may bring a lot of profit to Tangde Film and Television.
in addition, "can We not be sad" sold 800 million yuan for a single episode at 10 million yuan, while Hunan Satellite TV bought the first round of broadcast rights for 384 million yuan, with a total revenue of 1.18 billion yuan. Revenue is expected to be confirmed in the fourth quarter of this year, which will help boost Ciwen's annual income.
the second season of" that Star, the Sea "produced by Neverland, a subsidiary of Huawei Culture, is being broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV, and its revenue may be confirmed in the fourth quarter. "Advocate Alliance 2: Tiger Xiao long Yin", which is mainly controlled by Inge Media, will also be broadcast on the website in the fourth quarter, and revenue is expected to be confirmed in the fourth quarter.
overall, film and television companies continued the momentum of rapid growth in the first three quarters, while the reason behind it is related to the rising prices of movies and TV series. "in the past, they invested 20 million and came back 40 million. If we invest 100 million now, we will return 200 million. You will find that the gross profit margin has not changed, but because the cost of the play has changed, the price to buy the play is also high. " One investor told the reporter.
