Rakuten to Collaborate with Globalgate Entertainment to Advance Movie Content Development Featuring Global IPs

- Plans in place to develop content in Japan and internationally using remake rights to global IPs, including Hollywood movies.

Tokyo, April 13, 2022 – Rakuten Group, Inc. today announced that it will collaborate with U.S.-based company Globalgate Entertainment to develop content featuring global IPs (intellectual property rights) for release both in Japan and overseas.

Globalgate’s global consortium is made up of production and distribution partners located around the world, specializing in the production and financing of content. Rakuten will join Globalgate’s global consortium, and will acquire the remake rights to Hollywood movies and other global IPs, allowing for new content production. The content produced will be implemented throughout a variety of services within the Rakuten Ecosystem, and will be released in Japan and overseas.

Koji Ando, Rakuten Group Managing Executive Officer and Communications and Energy Company Senior Vice President commented, “We are extremely pleased to partner with Globalgate to advance the development of global IP-based digital content in Japan and worldwide. Through this collaboration, we will acquire the remake rights to IPs with high global value and recognition, and work with talented creators in Japan to create world-class content. We will also leverage the Rakuten Ecosystem to distribute the newly created content around the world, sharing it with as many fans as possible. We hope that this production process creates opportunities for Japanese creators to go global, while also providing opportunities for a diversity of creators and artists to collaborate.”

Clifford Werber, Co-Founder and CEO of Globalgate, stated, “Rakuten has skillfully nurtured an enviable ecosystem with over 100 million members accessing numerous services including robust e-commerce, mobile, fintech, digital content, communications, life and leisure, sports and culture. Globalgate is immensely proud to partner with Rakuten to help elevate their prestigious content and intellectual property and further support the globalization of Rakuten’s eminently branded media and entertainment platforms.”

In addition, William Pfeiffer, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of Globalgate, commented, “We are extremely proud to have Rakuten join Globalgate’s growing consortium of global production and distribution companies. Globalgate and its consortium partners will both amplify and benefit from Rakuten’s strong focus on premium content for global audiences. Furthermore, using its vast ecosystem, Rakuten will produce content based on the remake rights of Globalgate’s curated IP, allowing for the possibility of expansive marketing, promotional and monetization avenues, including advertising sponsorships and e-commerce merchandising. We’re confident our collaboration with Rakuten will further invigorate select Globalgate curated IP adapted as commercial content."

Rakuten will continue to offer a variety of entertainment experiences featuring IP content, and provide convenient and affordable services for users in Japan and overseas.

„We believe Rakuten is poised to benefit from the rise of the e-commerce market in Japan with a leading position only behind Amazon and high customer satisfaction. However, we also expect tough competition from Amazon, the market leader, with more visits, as well as having a higher number of product listings and a variable fee structure. We expect Rakuten’s member growth to continue growing with a 5-year average of 7.47% growth assumption through 2026. Additionally, we believe through its cross-selling strategy, its ARPU growth outlook at a forecast growth rate of 6.13% is supported as customers purchase more from its platform and complement other revenue segments. However, we expect the mobile segment to remain unprofitable and the future competition for the 5G network in Japan could intensify as Rakuten expands aggressively in the country. With the sum of the parts valuation, we rate the company as a Strong Buy with a price target of $11.71.“

von Rakuten ist absurd niedrig:

I believe, that the following use of the valuation of the Fintech-Sector is not correct, because 1.61x  is not special from fintech.

   Fintech                    §
Equity Value Industry P/B Valuation
  5,122.80     1.61x     8,522§
https://seekingalpha.com/article/...oup-stock-japan-e-commerce-leader

Take a look at the numbers of fintech:

https://finerva.com/report/fintech-2021-valuation-multiples/

 

Valuation of the fintech-sector of Rakuten should be about $ 25 billion after compare's with competitors

Take a look at the numbers of fintech:

We have median EV/TTM Revenue multiple of about 14x and median EV / TTM EBITDA multiple of about 35.

https://finerva.com/report/fintech-2021-valuation-multiples/

Fintech-Revenues of Rakuten in 2021 was 619.0 billion Yen (= $ 4.92 billion) and the operation income in 2021 was 89.1 billion Yen (= $710 million).

https://global.rakuten.com/corp/investors/

If we only take a multiple of 5 (not average of 14x) for the $4.92 fintech-revenues in 2021, the valuation for this sector = $ 24.6 billion.

If we take the median multiple for Ebitda’s (which a lower than for net-incomes) of 35 for the fintech net-income of $ 710 million, the valuation of this sector = $ 24.85 billion.  

Meines Erachtens bieten sich für die Fintech-Umsätze und Fintech-Gewinne von Rakuten  Vergleiche mit den Fintech-Multiples des von einigen hier Postenden immer wieder angeführten deutschen Fintechs Hypoport an.

Wobei allerdings angemerkt  werden muss, dass Fintech nur einer der Bereiche von Rakuten ist.  

Complete overlooked by the discussion about the valuation: The importance of Ad Revenues of Rakuten

„Ad revenue in FY2021 increased significantly to 157.9 billion yen ($ 1.26 billion), up +22.0% YoY, driven by increased sales of online ad placements.“

From David Del Valle in Madrid

Orange Spain has reached an agreement with Rakuten to integrate its streaming service onto its platform.

Almost 700,000 Orange’s subscribers will now have access to Videoclub Rakuten TV, offering a library of 6,000 titles.

For Jorge del Puerto, head of European Partnerships at Rakuten TV, the deal “is a milestone in our strategy as we plan to ally with telco companies throughout Europe”.

Würden Rakuten’s Fintech-Umsätze auch mit einem Multiple  von 5,3 wie die von Hypoport bewertet,  ergäbe sich allein für die Fintech-Umsätze von Rakuten von 4,92 Milliarden US-Dollar  (siehe 8336) eine Bewertung von mehr als 26 Milliarden US-Dollar.

Growing a Financial Affiliate Marketing Program with Peace of Mind.

By Rakuten Advertising | April 13, 2022 | INSIGHTS

As the financial space continues to evolve with the rise of fintech and neobanking, brands are constantly on the lookout for more innovative ways to reach their customers.

Many are expanding their affiliate programs with a more diverse publisher mix to reach their audiences where they’re most active and, as a result, improve loyalty to their brand.

Program expansion drives exciting growth if you have the right partner to help you grow with peace of mind. Concerns over publisher compliance, the cost of monitoring and the risk of fines have deterred some advertisers from engaging with potential partners and missing opportunities to reach their key audiences.

Brands need a partner who can help provide both expertise in affiliate marketing and in compliance to mitigate these risks and drive performance.

While all generations can agree on the importance of cashback when choosing a new credit card, our survey shows that older generations value perks like welcome bonuses more than younger generations who are seeking out additional perks like gym discounts and transportation credits.

For marketers, this can affect how you’re approaching your target audience depending on where they are in their financial journey. Customers are not only hunting for the best offers, but they also want to make sure they’re working with a brand that understands their specific needs and values.

With more cashback and loyalty publishers in the affiliate space than ever before, financial advertisers have limitless opportunities to reach new audiences with the offers they value most.

Tracking offers across numerous publishers can seem risky. At Rakuten Advertising, our team of global compliance managers with more than 20 years of combined experience in affiliate compliance and in financial institutions make sure expectations are being met. With an average failure rate of 1% (compared to the industry’s 8%), we help monitor your content compliantly while expanding your growth with a comprehensive in-house solution that combines automation and service to deliver results.

Digital advertising is a soon-to-be trillion-dollar industry. It’s north of 50% of every advertising dollar spent today and has continued to grow as people spend more time surrounded by screens and speakers. At the same time, how digital advertising happens is going through a profound transformation, with cookies, regulation and walled gardens locking horns; TV-as-digital; and debate about the role that media plays in democracy and societal polarization.

The rules are being rewritten. The companies that will succeed in this new era are those that connect complex digital supply chains – that is, partner well with media across devices and with the portfolio of identity solutions enabling orchestration, optimization and measurement – in ways appropriate for enterprise-grade marketing.

The investor community has increasingly begun to favor businesses that leverage technology, science and service to convert media into the business results that global marketers are required to produce and innovate at the scale and pace required.

Brand & Business: Viber offers brands a three-month free trial for Conversational Business Messages
It’s time for companies to take their chats seriously

By adobo magazine April 5, 2022

As a global leader in messaging communication, Viber has become a go-to platform for people to connect with family, friends, and colleagues—and this time, with brands too. Engaging conversations remain at the heart of everything Viber offers, including its suite of business messaging solutions that help companies connect with their customers in a personal way, especially amid the rise of conversational commerce.

Businesses that are yet to experience the benefits of one-to-one and interactive communication with their customers can try out a 3-month free trial of Conversational Viber Business Messages during a special promo period. The trial is available to any new or existing Business Messages account sending conversational messages for the first time. The promo will last from April 4th to June 30th, 2022 across global markets. Any brand sending its first conversational message during this period receives 90 days of free conversational messages from the date of the first message.

Messages can open a new avenue of communication between brands and customers. Conversations with live agents can cover many subjects like managing order and delivery details, helping choose a product, making a booking, or managing loyalty products. Companies can also drive purchases via interactive communication, improve customer retainment, support the post-purchase experience, and more.

It’s been found by studies that 73% of consumers prefer to communicate with a brand they can message rather than call and 58% of them believe that messaging is also the fastest way to communicate with brands. What’s more, 74% of customers prefer messaging with businesses if a real person is responding.
