On the M&A front, we expect most action to be tuck-in in nature (on both the
recorded and publishing side of the business).
The trends mentioned earlier affirm that the music industry is in the midst of
another transition: consumers are migrating from downloading music to
streaming it, While this trend is clearly weighing on track and album unit sales,
we think that over time increasing adoption of services such as Apple Music,
Spotify, Pandora, Google Play, and others should play positive for the music
industry.
The transition is still in its nascent stages (paying music subscribers represent
just 2% of the worldwide population). Surely there will be some adjustments
and tweaks to the operating models along the way (i.e., price adjustments,
potential constraints and restrictions will be put on free streaming platforms to
encourage the adoption of pay subscriptions, etc.). But in the end, we feel that
incremental (non-pirated) consumption of music will be a plus for the music
industry - the key for labels and artists will be harnessing and monetizing this
consumption.
