SM, YG, JYP Report Record Combined Sales of USD$106 Million for First Quarter 2014

resizeAgency3-800x450

It has been a few months since we last looked at the financial health of the three major entertainment agencies. Now seems like a good time to see how they are doing in 2014. In May 2014, SM Entertainment (KOSDAQ: 041510), YG Entertainment (KOSDAQ: 122870) and JYP Entertainment (KOSDAQ: 035900) posted their 1st quarter financial results (For the period 01/01/2014 to 31/03/2014).

The results were interesting to see the least and there is a lot of information to digest so here is a brief summary of all the information we are about to cover in the rest of the article

  • Total combined sales for first quarter 2014 from the three agencies was approximately USD$106 million, which is a USD$33 million increase compared to last year
  • SM Entertainment’s total sales revenue was approximately USD$60.19 millionoperating profit was approximately USD$4.27 million and net profit was approximately USD$2.59 million
  • YG Entertainment posted total sales revenue of approximately USD$39.5 million while operating profit was approximately USD$7.4 million, with net profit being approximately USD$5.2 million
  • JYP Entertainment posted a total sales revenue of approximately USD$6.79 million, with operating income finally back in the black at approximately USD$298,000 and net profit also in the positive at approximately USD$843,000
  • All three agencies posted percentage increases in total sales YOY (Year over Year) while both YG and JYP saw percentages increases for operating profit and net profit
  • YG Entertainment has broken their previous first quarter records, helped by the success of 2NE1
  • JYP Entertainment has finally manage to post positive operating profit thanks in part to their merger last year

The numbers

First off, let’s talk numbers. It will help if you read up on how the companies were doing during the first half of 2013 in our previous article.

Just to make the comparisons between previous results contextually accurate, we will be assuming an exchange rate of 1000 KRW to 0.90 USD. Actual exchange rate is closer to1000:0.97 but given that these companies declare finances in KRW, there should be no major issues doing our general finance comparisons using the previous exchange rates.

YG Entertainment

YG Entertainment has been all smiles for the last couple years, posting constant healthy increases in total sales, operating profits and net profits. They have seen plenty of success in the last year thanks to continued interest in PSY along with the relative success of  2NE1and Taeyang during the latter half of 2013.

In first quarter 2014, YG Entertainment posted total sales revenue of approximatelyUSD$39.5 million while operating profit was approximately USD$7.4 million, with net profit being approximately USD$5.2 million. These figures are also fairly impressive when compared YOY. Total sales revenue is up 36%, operating profit is up 31% and net profit isup 33%, which means that YG Entertainment has once again beaten their own records and has posted their best ever first quarter results.

The success of “Crush” has helped YG Entertainment break their own records once again

These results were largely thanks to the success of 2NE1′s second album, “Crush,” which made up 13.5% of YG Entertainment’s total sales in first quarter 2014, bringing home approximately USD$5.35 million2NE1′s 2014 World Tour and Big Bang In Seoulconcerts also contributed positively to YG Entertainment’s first quarter results with total sales revenue of USD$4.57 million or 11.6% of total sales revenue.

Line Play: Dara Updates Her Line Play~ “A Dizzy Flight: Our Flight from Shanghai to Osaka was Really Scary T_T”

Dara’s 5th Line Diary Update: “A dizzy flight”

After last week’s crazy schedule, we are back in Korea~^^
Today at Osaka, I was able to spend a day of free time and it was~ fun! I ordered 70 pieces of takoyaki keke Of course, I didn’t eat it all by myself keke Anyway, it was fun and it’s been a while since I had a fun free time!

Ah… But our flight from Shanghai to Osaka was a really scary flight TT.TT
I thought maybe because it was calmly raining and that the flight would be comfortable because it was my favorite romantic weather but!? just as usual, when we board on the plane, I don’t know if it was because of the weather or what not, but the flight was delayed for about 2 hours.
After waiting for a long time, we finally took-off… hmm… It was the most dizzying flight as the plane kept shaking as if it was a roller coaster TT.TT
Meeting a strong turbulence, I fastened by seatbelt and listened to the information. To Chaerin who sat beside me, I tightly held on her hand and arm and just kept holding on to her while trembling..
It’s not supposed to be like this.. I kept thinking that in this airplane, 2NE1 and WINNER are boarding it and in a few hours, we have to start YG Family Concert and that we must arrive safely.

I had so many thoughts but thankfully we were able to safely arrive at Osaka and were able to stand on the concert stage. We didn’t have enough time so I almost performed with no make-up kekeke

Later when we talked about it, even the staff were praying and crying. Because of this, am I going to have a fear of flight? Or not? TT.TT
Anyway, I wish that for our future tours, we will be safe~ To our members, staff, and WINNER-dongsaengs who always work hard, thank you and fighting!!! ^.^

Along with unconventional decision that all of YG Family will attend this festival that is going to take place on August 15th, YG Entertainment plans to present an experience that the audiences will remember for a long time as the best artist group in Korea by presenting the performance that contains music philosophy and so on.

YG Family is getting the interests from the whole world with the unique style of the artists and powerful music. Psy dominated pop market in America and also the whole world with ‘Gangnam Style’ sensation and BIGBANG is continuing their unbeatable moves by leading the trend along with the world tour that gathered 800,000 audiences in 24 cities of 12 countries for total of 48 sets. 2NE1 recorded 61st place on Billboard album chart with the new album ‘CRUSH’, which is the best record ever in the history of K-Pop and WINNER is getting the love calls from the fans around the world even before the debut by appearing on TV survival program and so on and the best musicians who transcends different generations will go up on the stage.

Lady Gaga is expressing special kind of affection to Korea as she chose the place to hold the first performance as Seoul during the last tour and in this summer, she invited Crayon Pop, who is creating K-Pop sensation, as the guest for the opening of American tour and became the center of the attention.
