remain significant uncertainty on FY21 earnings, with a strong balance sheet at hand,
we believe LOV will be able to navigate the pandemic and retain our Buy rating.

Forecast changes
We have cut our near-term forecasts given ongoing COVID-19 disruption. However, given
encouraging signs in the USA/France and LOV’s strong balance sheet, we have reduced
our beta assumption used in our DCF (previously increased heading into pandemic fallout,
although reduction not yet reversed in full). The net effect is our FY21 EPS is cut by -43%
although there is no material (<3%) change in FY22/FY23. Offset by model roll-forward and
our beta assumption change, our 12-mth price target increases to $8.35 (previously $7.50).

a number of international markets. LOV is strategically focused on the affordable jewellery
segment targeting fashion conscious females aged 25 to 45. Under a vertically integrated
business model, LOV develops, sources and merchandises all of its Lovisa branded
products. Australia is LOV’s largest market exposure; however the company is embarking
on an international store rollout strategy with offshore territories currently including the UK,
the USA, France, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, South Africa and, under a franchise
model, the Middle East & Vietnam. LOV also has a store pilot program underway in Spain.
Investment Strategy
We rate LOV Buy with a price target of $8.35. LOV has defined a 5 pillar growth strategy,
including: 1) international expansion; 2) streamline global supply chain; 3) enhance existing
store performance; 4) brand proliferation; and 5) lead and pre-empt trends. In regards to
the first pillar, LOV believes there is significant store footprint expansion potential into new
territories. New territory prospects include major northern hemisphere markets (such as the
UK) and other Asian markets such as Hong Kong, Japan, the Philippines and/or Thailand.
Valuation
Our blended PT is $8.35. Our DCF is $8.36 & our SOTP (EV/EBITDA basis) is $8.32. We
take a 75%/25% split to derive our price target.
