Sansiri Public Co Ltd (SIRI TB) Rewards don’t justify price Despite efforts to boost earnings in 2018-19F by moving forward its JV backlog and the recent deal to acquire 2 PACE condo projects, we see SIRI shares as expensive, at PERs of 11.0x in 2018F and 9.8x in 2019F, as we have yet to factor in SIRI-W2 dilution. We reaffirm our SELL with a new TP of Bt2.10 as we roll over our base year to 2018F.

Reaffirming our SELL call

PHANNARAI TIYAPITTAYARUT 662 – 617 4961 [email protected]

COMPANY VALUATION

Despite SIRI’s improving presales YTD year and an attempt to bring forward its JV backlog to accelerate sales recognition in 2018-19F, which lead us to lift our 2017-19F earnings by 0.3-5%, we reaffirm our SELL call with a higher DCF-based 12-month TP of Bt2.10/share (on our base-year rollover to 2018F), from Bt1.80. The stock looks expensive to us at a PER of 11.0x in 2018F and 9.8x in 2019F, as we have yet to factor in the 19% dilution from SIRI-W2. We see this rich valuation undermining earnings upside in 2018-19F from the recent MoU with PACE Development Pcl (PACE TB, Not rated). We regard its new business partners as being good for the long term with SIRI enjoying strong brand awareness, but do not expect a profit contribution anytime soon.

Bringing JV backlog forward After JVs with BTS Group Holdings (BTS TB, Bt8.40, BUY) three years ago, SIRI has focused on building up JV condo presales, leading to a low backlog from its own condos. As of 1 October, it only had Bt2.5bn in property backlog for next year’s revenues and none for 2019F onward. Since SIRI foresees property sales falling from Bt28bn in 2017 to Bt22bn in 2018, it is speeding up JV condo construction and targets to complete four condos (from one) in 2018 and six (from three) in 2019 while it expects equity income of +-Bt50m this year, Bt1bn in 2018 and Bt800m in 2019.

MoU with PACE to acquire two condos SIRI signed an MoU with PACE to buy the whole Nimit Lang Suan condo project (Bt8bn, 92% sold) and 53 unsold units of The Ritz-Carlton residences (25% of the total units, Bt4bn). We see this is as positive as revenues could come right away for the latter project and in 2019F for the first. The return from this acquisition depends on the purchase price to be determined within a 60-day due diligence period. We roughly estimate a 10% net margin which implies the deal could add profit of Bt400m in 2018F and Bt800m in 2019F. Note that SIRI must shoulder costs to complete the Nimit condo while The Ritz Carlton is finished inventory.

IVL has announced it is purchasing a 700kta PTA plant in Portugal. We are positive on this deal as it would make the company fully integrated in terms of its PTA to PET value chain.

We estimate 3.5-4% earnings accretion in

2018F. Maintain BUY.



Capacity impact: The purchase would increase IVL’s PTA capacity in PTA capacity would make IVL nearly 100% self-sufficient in terms of its ability to meet internal PTA demand for PET production (though geographical mismatches mean it would still have to buy and sell PTA in different regions). Estimated purchase price:

Asia Aviation Pcl (AAV TB) - HOLD, Price Bt6.30 TP Bt6.40

Results Comment

Saksid Phadthananarak | Email: [email protected] Lower-than-expected 3Q17 results







AAV reported Bt189m in normalized earnings for 3Q17, down 47% y-y but up 34% q-q. The results were lower than what we had expected. A fall in earnings year on year was mainly due to lower air fares from intense competition and rising oil costs. Even though 9M17 earnings make up only 55% of our full-year earnings forecast, we expect AAV to report strong earnings in 4Q17 due to high seasons.



Even though we believe TAA’s cost competitiveness will allow it to survive in the current competitive market in long term, intense competition and rising oil costs could continue to put its earnings under pressure in short term. We thus maintain our HOLD rating on AAV.

Given an increase in its capacity (ASK) by 7% y-y in 3Q17, its revenues per ASK was flat year on year while a rise in oil costs caused its costs per ASK to increase 4% y-y. This caused its gross margin to fall to 11.4% in 3Q17 versus 14.8% in 3Q16. It also reported negative corporate income taxes in 3Q17 due to promotional privileges under BOI.

Incom e Statem ent Yr-end Dec (Bt m ) Revenue

Thai AirAsia’s (TAA) revenues grew by 7% y-y in 3Q17. Despite its passenger number growth of 14% y-y in 3Q17 to improve its load factor to 85% in 3Q17 vs. 84% in 3Q16, its average fares fell by 7% y-y.

Key risk: Fuel expenses account for almost 50% of Thai AirAsia’s total costs. Therefore, fluctuations in jet fuel prices present a major risk to our earnings projections.

Strong 3Q17 results, slightly above expectation









BANPU reports 3Q17 net profit of Bt2.0bn (EPS Bt0.39/sh); excluding FX and hedging impacts, we estimate normalized net profit to be Bt2.9bn (norm EPS Bt0.56/sh), up over 300% y-y and 9% q-q. This was slightly above expectation as strong ASP offset negative surprise in volume. The positive ASP surprise and production cost decline bode well for 4Q17F outlook. BUY.



Indonesia coal: ASP was much higher than expected at $76.3/ton (+49% y-y, +8% q-q) while volume was rather disappointing at 5.6m tons (-21% y-y, +1% q-q) vs 6m tons expectation. Production cost exc. royalty fees surprisingly declined by $1/ton q-q to $42.2/ton.



Australia coal: ASP was A$90.1/ton (+34% y-y, +12% q-q) while volume missed slightly at 3.4m tons (-16% y-y, +3% q-q). Costs were also down A$1.6/ton to A$54.3/ton.

Consolidated power revenue was up 32% y-y and 6% q-q but gross profit contribution was down 26% y-y, 10% q-q as higher coal costs more than offset increases in power/steam prices. Equity income from three main assets (BLCP and Hongsa power plants and China coal) was up more than 300% y-y but down 15% as stronger China coal profit (+48% q-q) was not enough to offset lower power contribution. Non-recurring items were again FX loss (from stronger THB) of Bt576m and hedging losses of Bt506m. Note that FX loss is purely accounting given BANPU’s USD functional currency; it would have reported FX gain had it used THB as functional currency like most other Thai companies. Balance sheet was a bit stronger despite significant capex. Net D/E declined to 0.95x at end-3Q17 from 0.98x at the end of previous quarter.

Bangkok Chain Hospital (BCH TB) - BUY, Price Bt16.4, TP Bt18.6

Results Comment

Siriporn Arunothai | Email: [email protected]

3Q17 earnings beat our expectation







BCH reported Bt303m net profit in 3Q17, up 24% y-y and 76% q-q. This was better than our expectation but it was in line with the street’s forecast. The better-than-expected earnings caused by its lower-than-expected costs.



The company’s earnings growth was mainly due to 1) rising sales by 15% y-y and 20% q-q to Bt2bn, 2) improving gross margin from 33.4% in 3Q16 and 32.0% in 2Q17 to 35.2% in 4Q17 due to economies of scales, 3) SG&A to sales also declining from 12.6% in 3Q16 and 16.2% in 2Q17 to 11.3% in 3Q17 due to no extra provision from Social Security (SS) scheme as it was in 2Q17 and 4) falling loss contribution from the World Medical Center (WMC) Hospital.

BCH’s sales growth was mainly driven by rising revenue from all kinds of patients (cash, SS and referred heart patients under the Universal Coverage Scheme). 9M17 earnings accounted for 75% of our full-year earnings forecast. We expect earnings growth momentum remaining strong in 4Q17F from rising cash patients and price adjustment under SSS. BCH is still our top pick BUY in the healthcare sector.

Saksid Phadthananarak | Email: [email protected] 3Q17 results in line







BEM reported normalized earnings of Bt940m in 3Q17, up 16% y-y and 30% q-q. This was in line with what we had expected. The strong earnings growth in 3Q17 was mainly due to its revenue growth, lower SG&A expenses and higher equity income. 9M17 earnings make up 73% of our full-year earnings forecast. Even though we like BEM’s stable expressway business with its huge cash flow generation and its mass transit business with many growth opportunities, we are concerned on the lack of clarity over its plans after its existing expressway concession ends in 2020 as the expressway business generated 77% of its gross profits in 9M17. We thus maintain our SELL call on BEM.

Incom e Statem ent

BEM’s total revenue grew by 14% y-y in 3Q17 driven by 1) an 8% y-y toll revenue growth in the expressway business due to the opening of the new expressway to increase its average traffic volume by 3.1% y-y and the average toll rate by 7.7% and 2) an 28% y-y farebox revenue growth in the rail business due to the average ridership growth of 7.7% y-y in its existing Blue Line and additional service revenue from the opening of the Purple Line. Given its high operating leverage, its gross margin improved to 40.9% in 3Q17 versus 40.5% in 3Q16. Moreover, BEM started to book its interest expenses after the opening of the new projects, causing a rise in its interest expenses by 25% y-y in 3Q17 while its SG&A expenses fell by 4% y-y in 3Q17 due to lower public relation expenses. Its equity income increased 23% y-y in 3Q17 as CKP reported higher earnings.

Moderate earnings growth in 3Q17, in line

▪ ▪



BH reported Bt1.1bn net profit in 3Q17, up 9% y-y and 10% q-q. This was in line with ours and the street’s earnings forecast. Key earnings driver was raising revenue of 5% y-y and 9% q-q to Bt4.8bn in 3Q17. This resulted from improving patient flow both in Thai and international patients. Revenue from Thai patients grew by 1.9% y-y and revenue from foreign patients increased by 8.9% y-y.

Reported weaker-than-expected results in 3Q17



▪ ▪



CHG reported net profit of Bt168m in 3Q17, up 5% y-y and 42% q-q. This was below our earnings forecast due to its weaker-than-expected revenue contribution from Social Security (SS) patients and higher-than-expected costs from new hospital.



CHG’s y-y earnings growth was mainly driven by sales growth. Meanwhile, strong q-q earnings growth resulted from seasonality factor.



The company’s revenue grew by 7% y-y and 16% q-q to Bt1.0bn in 3Q17, driven by revenue growth from cash patients of 15% y-y and SS patients of 5% y-y. Meanwhile, revenue contribution from Universal Coverage patients declined by -35% y-y.

Given rising operating cost from new building at Cholvaej Hospital in Choburi province that was opened in July 2017, its gross margin declined from 33.2% in 3Q16 to 32.3% in 3Q17. 9M17 earnings accounted for 71% of our full-year earnings forecast. We estimate its 4Q17F earnings growth momentum to be stronger than 3Q17 due to low base of 4Q16 earnings and rising reimbursement rate under SS scheme. We will revisit our number. However, we see CHG’s current share price already reflected investors’ bearish view on CHG’s weak operation in 1Q17; we thus reaffirm HOLD. CHG announced dividend payment of Bt0.012/share. The XD date is 21 November 2017 and the payment date is 8 December 2017.

3Q17 good results and better-than-expected









CKP’s 3Q17 net profit came in at Bt165m. Excluding forex translation loss, its norm earnings would be Bt198m, up 18% y-y and tremendously up q-q. The norm results were better than expected.

SG&A and interest expenses rose along with the start-up of BIC-2.



The strong performance y-y was due mainly to the start-up of its 65% owned 120MW BIC-2 gas-fired SPP and Cogeneration unit since 7 July, despite lower power generation from its current core project - a 42% owned 615MW hydro power project in Loas “Nam Ngum 2 (NN2)”.

9M17 norm earnings made up 64% of our full year estimates. We maintain our estimates given our expectation of softer performance q-q as most plants have planned maintenance shut down in 4Q17. Yet, we expect CKP to still post norm earnings growth y-y in 4Q17 with super strong earnings growth in 1H18 due to low base in 1H17.



We remain a BUY on CKP as expected the company to go into new earnings cycle when its 35% owned 1.8GW Xayaburi hydro power project in Laos take off in 4Q19 with expected 110% earnings growth in 2020.

The super strong performance q-q was due to the improved operation of NN2 from seasonality, apart from the start-up of BIC-2 project. For NN2, CKP declared a 70% q-q hike in power generation from the freak low level due low water inflow at the beginning year (still down 13% y-y).

3Q17 results were slightly better than expected

▪ ▪ ▪



COM7’s 3Q17 earnings were at Bt151m, up 66% y-y and 19% q-q. This was slightly better than ours and the street’s earnings forecast. The company’s strong earnings growth was driven by strong revenue growth, falling SG&A to sales and having new equity income contribution from BAF (Thailand) of Bt8m in 3Q17.



COM7’s revenue grew by 41% y-y and 11% q-q to Bt5.5bn in 3Q17. This was mainly driven by rising revenue in all segments (revenue growth from IT segment, mobile segment, service segment and others were 19% y-y, 58% y-y, 109% y-y and 15% y-y, respectively), supported by new store expansion, new products and sales promotion.

Thanks to rising revenue, COM7’s SG&A to sales declined from 11.3% in 3Q16 and 11.1% in 2Q17 to 10.5% in 3Q17 due to rising bargaining power with suppliers and economies of scales. 9M17 earnings accounted for 71% of our full-year forecast. We expect COM7’s earnings growth momentum to strengthen in 4Q17 on rising revenue from its existing IT and mobile segments in existing and new stores and two new sources of income – iCare and Commercial sales. Though we see upside to our earnings forecast and TP, we believe that a rise in COM7 share price already reflected the company’s good results, we maintain HOLD.

Results Comment

Weaker-than-expected 3Q17 results

▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪



GFPT’s 3Q17 results came in below than our and the market’s expectations due to a lower equity income, despite an improving operating profit margin. GFPT reported profit of Bt505m in 3Q17, up 2% y-y and 2% q-q.

Its 49%-owned GFN and McKey contributed combined profit of Bt65m in 3Q17 vs. Bt108m in 2Q17 and Bt81m in 3Q16. The decrease contributions were due to lower profit contribution from McKey. There was an additional pre-operating cost of McKey’s new plant.



GFPT’s processed chicken revenue (45% of 3Q17 revenue) rose by 8% y-y because of higher export volume.

Gross profit margin widened to 18.1% in 3Q17 vs. 16.3% in 2Q17 and 17.0% in 3Q16 due to lower raw material prices.



GFPT’s feed business revenue (20% of 3Q17 revenue) declined by 20% y-y due to weak feed volume sales.

We maintain our HOLD call for its high-base export volumes in 2017F.

GFPT’s farm business revenue (30% of 3Q17 revenue) increased by 9% y-y on higher selling volumes of live broilers to GFN.

3Q17: good results but lower-than-expected

▪ ▪

▪ ▪



GUNKUL’s 3Q17 net earnings came in at Bt140m. Excluding forex translation loss, its norm earnings would be Bt184m, up strongly 109% y-y and 67% q-q.

Equity income from investment in two solar power projects was slightly softened y-y due to low radiation and q-q due to seasonality as 3Q is rainy season.



However, the results were still lower than our expectation due to lower-than-expected revenues from its 60MW WED wind power project. We believe this could be due to softer wind speed in September. The performance of all business were strong both y-y and q-q. Overall sales were up strongly mainly boosted by the construction business followed by the wind power business.

9M17 norm earnings made up 51% of our full year forecast. Despite expecting good wind speed in 4Q17, it seems difficult that GUNKUL would meet our full year estimates. We may have to revise our earnings estimates pending on the upcoming analyst meeting.



Yet, we still see GUNKUL as growth stock as it will have another two big wind power projects of a combined 110MW plus it’s a 30MW Japanese based solar power coming on stream in 2018. Maintained BUY.

However, overall gross margin fell to 28.8% from 37.5% in 3Q16 and 31.3% in 2Q17 due to lower margin construction business (10.4% vs 24% in 3Q16). This was despite rising gross margin at the wind power business (64.6% vs 60% in 3Q16. (consolidated)

Lower-than-expected 3Q17

▪ ▪





ILINK’s 3Q17 earnings came in at Bt67m, +9% y-y and +18% q-q. This is lower than our expectation. Excluding Bt35m one-off tax adjustment expense booked in SG&A) in 1Q17, 9M17 earnings were 67% of our full-year forecast. We expect downside to our forecast as we expect 4Q17F earnings to be weaker than this quarter. This is because we believe that most of the engineering backlog of Bt1.5bn, which ILINK plans to book in 2017F, already booked in 3Q17.

Engineering business sales increased significantly from 3Q16 low base and +122% q-q. The y-y growth was from revenue recognition of the large backlog of Bt.1.5bn. 3Q16 was a very low base of Bt14m revenue. As ILINK planned to book most of its carried engineering backlog in 3Q17, sales were also up nicely q-q.



Telecom business via its 60%-owned subsidiary Interink Telecom Pcl (ITEL, unrated) had earnings growth of 39% y-y and 12% q-q.

Cable distribution sales were Bt539m, increase 3% y-y and 8% q-q. The small y-y earnings growth was from aggressive competitions in cable trading industry.

Strong 3Q17 result, in line





IVL reported 3Q17 net profit of Bt3.5bn (EPS Bt0.64/sh). Excluding non-recurring items, we estimate core net profit to be Bt4.6bn. Core EPS was Bt0.86/sh, up 59% y-y and 18% qq after taking into account impact of dilution from the recent warrant exercise. The strong y-y and q-q growths were mainly driven by margin impact with blended EBITDA per ton increasing to $122/ton in 3Q17 from 91 and 107 $/ton in 3Q16 and 2Q17, respectively. The core profit was in line with our expectation. Maintain BUY. By segment, West Feedstock was again the strongest product segment with core EBITDA increasing by 98% y-y and 33% qq. This segment now makes up over 50% of group EBITDA, up from just 33% a year ago on both margin improvement and volume growth. PET segment showed 13% y-y and 27% q-q EBITDA growths, mainly driven by margin improvement. PET makes up another 29% of total EBITDA. Fibers & yarns and Asia PTA segments both showed y-y declines in EBITDA due to weaker margins. (consolidated)

By region, EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region EBITDA more than doubled y-y due to significant margin improvement and some volume growth. North America was also strong with 28% y-y growth. EMEA and North America make up 36% and 46% of group EBITDA, respectively, with the rest coming from Asia. By portfolio, HVA (high-value added) product EBITDA was up 47% y-y and 6% q-q due to margin improvement. HVA portfolio now makes up 52% of total EBITDA compared to 46% a year ago. Non-operating items mainly comprise of Bt1.86bn in doubtful account expense related to the recent bankruptcy filing of a major customer. This was previously communicated to the market.

Strong 3Q17 results, in line





JWD reported Bt58m norm profit in 3Q17, up 136% y-y and 16% q-q. This was in line with our earnings estimate. Note that JWD booked one-time provision of Bt116m in 3Q16 from

revenue sharing with the Port Authority of Thailand (PAT) for dangerous goods warehouse operations which was made retroactive to 2010.



9M17 earnings accounted for 71% of our full-year earnings forecast. Meanwhile, we expect to see better earnings in 4Q17, supported by rising utilization rate in general goods warehouse (including JCS and LCL Consolidation Hub), dangerous good warehouse and yard management. We thus maintain our BUY rating on JWD at TP of Bt13.20/share.

The strong earnings growth from last year resulted from 1) improving demands in cold storage warehouse, dangerous good warehouse, automotive yard and general goods warehouse, 2) revenue from transportation and distribution service also increasing strongly by 29% y-y and 3) improving gross margin and falling SG&A to sales due to operating leverage benefits.

Bottom quarter in 3Q17 as expected







LPN reported weak 3Q17 results as expected which was the bottom quarter of this year given no new condominium project completed in the quarter and a significant decline in gross margin as most revenues came from low-margin inventory.



3Q17 net profit was Bt203m, down 35% y-y and 19% q-q, in line with us but 23% below consensus estimate. We believe the market may not aware of weak gross margin on inventory sale from 3Q17 which we have warned earlier in our note published since June this year.

Key reasons for weak results were 1) falling property sales revenues by 7% y-y, and 2) a contraction in gross margin on property sales of 25.0% vs 31.7% in 3Q16 and 30.3% in 2Q17.

Far weaker-than-expected 3Q17









MALEE reported very weak 3Q17 norm profit of Bt78m, down 52% y-y but up 27% q-q. 9M17 accounts for 64% of our fullyear forecast. Disappointments were mainly from coconut water contract manufacturing (CMG) and domestic branded fruit juice businesses. We have to downgrade earnings further.



Coconut water CMG sales (~25% of tot al sales) fell 50% y-y while domestic fruit juice sales (~25%) fell 15% y-y, but increased 30% q-q. Improvements were from ready-to-drink coffee (20%) and branded export (10%) businesses. The drop in coconut CMG sales was due to 1) The company’s on-going preventive measures for quality control. MALEE expects the adjustment process to be done by this year. 2) The lower demand of coconut water in the US.



(consolidated)

Incom e Statem ent Yr-end Dec (Bt m ) Revenue



The y-y drop in domestic fruit juices was from the still weak domestic consumption. The q-q improvement was on the back of the newly packaged-products launched in 3Q17 ( vs. inventory depletion in 2Q17). The q-q improvement however couldn’t offset the y-y disappointments. The growth areas were Ready-to-drink coffee sales which improved by 25% y-y. This was because of the market recovery and the increase of new SKUs from existing customers. Branded export business also grew 60% y-y. The growth was mainly from CLMV countries and China. Domestic canned fruit (10%) remained flat y-y as new crop has started (postponed from 1H17). As MALEE’s 9M17 performance is lower than our expectation, we put our Hold recommendation and TP under review.

Weak 3Q17 earnings, in line

▪ ▪



MC reported net profit of Bt94m in 3Q17, down 29% y-y but up 5% q-q. This was in line with our expectation. The company’s weak earnings growth still resulted mainly from weak sales, mainly from upcountry malls due to remaining weak consumption. The company’s sales were up by 3% y-y but drop 2% q-q to Bt903m in 3Q17. MC’s same-store-sales growth in 3Q17 falling by 9% y-y. In 3Q17, MC opened four shops and points of sales (POS), bringing total shops and POS of 879 at ended 3Q17.

Gross profit SG&A

9M17 earnings accounted for 57% of our full-year earnings forecast. We expect MC’s earnings momentum to be stronger in 4Q17F due to improving sales (from improving consumption and new product launch and seasonality factor) and improving margin due to economies of scale. Given the in-line results, we maintain our earnings forecast and TP; BUY.

Strong 3Q17 profits, as expected





MTLS reported very strong 3Q17 profits of Bt650m, up 62% yy and 14% q-q. Results were in-line with our expectation. 9M17 profits made up 73% of our full-year projection. Momentum in 4Q17 will continue to be strong so we re-iterate BUY.



▪ ▪

Key growth drivers y-y were loans expansion, higher interest income and falling cost-to-income ratio.While q-q growth was due mainly to lower provisions.

Loans grew 11% q-q and 39% YTD, backed by aggressive branch expansion. NIM dipped slight as funding costs went up on rising proportion of long-term funding. NPL ratio remains low at 1.17% and with its already high loan loss coverage ratio, MTLS put aside lower provisions. Credit costs fell to 1.74% from 2.25% in 2Q17.

Decent 3Q17 profits









PTG reported 3Q17’s profits of Bt228m, increased 45% y-y but down 14% q-q. Higher sales volume and higher non-oil income base are the key drivers of the y-y growth. The soft profit compared to previous quarter was on seasonal effect. Our earnings forecast and recommendation are under reviewed.

SG&A expenses increased 27% from the same period last year. This is due to the rapid expansion of PTG both in its gas stations, coffee shops, convenience stores, and other non-oil businesses. Flat expense q-q was due to lower sales volume.



Total sales volume was 779m liters in 3Q17, up 16% y-y but down 8% q-q. Lower marketing margin compared to previous quarter was offset by higher gross profit contribution from nonoil businesses.

Numbers of stations increased to 1,609 stations in 3Q17, from 1,506 stations in 2Q17 and 1,407 stations in 4Q16. PTG maintains its target of reaching 1,800 stations by end-2017.



Going forward, the company will continue its aggressive expansion in both gas station and other non-oil businesses. Recovery of oil retail’s marketing margin is intact, while we expect stronger domestic oil demand in 2H17F, after a flat growth y-y in 1H17.

Non-oil revenues increased by 93% y-y and 11% q-q backed by its station expansion and more partnership deals secured this year. Non-oil contributions to gross profit then rose to 8% in 3Q17 from 5% in 3Q16.

TPC Power Holding (TPCH TB) - BUY, Price Bt15.70, TP Bt21.00

Results Comment

Supanna Suwankird | Email: [email protected]

3Q17 normalized earnings meet our target







TPCH reported 3Q17 net earnings of Bt26m, far below the Bloomberg consensus forecast of Bt36.5m due to extraordinary items. Excluding this, its normalized earnings were at Bt67m, up 35% y-y and 11% q-q. The normalized earnings results were in line with our expectation. The improved performance was mainly due to the start-up of its 80%-owned 9.8MW Pattalung Green Power (PGP) project on 7 July. This drove sales up by 23% q-q while the bigger rise 90% y-y was also pushed by Thungsung Green which commenced operation on 30 September 2016.

Southern provinces the woodchips feedstock cost was stable.

▪ ▪



Gross margin was up to 45.8% from 43.9% in 2Q17 due to lower feedstock cost (woodchips) from GPG than the blended cost. However, GM dropped from 57% in 3Q16 due to increased blended feedstock cost from the Maewong project. (MWE), located in the Central region, which had the supplier management fee contract lifted by 34% from January on increased rice husk feed cost while for the projects in the (consolidated)

Gross profit SG&A Operating profit EBITDA

SG&A and interest expenses rose along with the start-up of PGP. The share of investment loss was mainly from its 50%owned Siam Power of Bt8.32m. Extraordinary items in 3Q17 comprised: 1) an allowance for deferred income tax recognized of Bt10.8m, and 2) a provision for a capital reserve allowance for NPLs set with Bills of Exchange of Bt29.7m (Bt19.8m was booked in 2Q17). 9M17 normalized earnings account for 74% of our 2017 estimate. We maintain our forecast as is. We reaffirm our BUY call on TPCH. We expect TPCH to continue posting increased normalized earnings as legacy capacity continues to come on stream. Its 2018F performance should be driven by the full-year operation of Thungsung Green and Satun Green, which is scheduled to start operations on 30 December.

TTW Public Co Ltd (TTW TB) - BUY, Price Bt11.90, TP Bt13.50

Results Comment

Saksid Phadthananarak | Email: [email protected] Stronger-than-expected 3Q17 results









TTW posted 3Q17 normalized earnings of Bt735m, up 14% y-y and 12% q-q. This was stronger than what we had expected. The earnings growth year on year and quarter on quarter was mainly driven by a strong sales volume growth and TTW’s operating leverage. 9M17 earnings make up 78% of our fullyear earnings forecast.

Given its high operating leverage, TTW’s gross margin was improved to 72% in 3Q17 versus 71.3% in 3Q16 while its SG&A expenses slightly increased by 1% y-y. Its interest expense increased 7% y-y in 3Q17 due to the completion of the new tap water plant in June 2017 while its equity income increased 37% y-y in 3Q17 as CKP reported higher earnings.

The strong results confirm our view on TTW’s earnings turnaround in 2H17 onward. We now view TTW as the stock that offers not only decent dividend yield but also earnings growth with high EBITDA margin and ROE. We maintain our BUY rating on TTW. Besides an increase in selling prices year on year, TTW’s sales volume grew by 9.7% y-y in 3Q17 while PTW’s sale volume grew by 4.4% y-y. This caused its total sales in 3Q17 to increase 6% y-y.

Strong 3Q17 results, in-line



▪ ▪



WORK’s 3Q17 profit increases y-y and q-q were due to its digital TV ad rate hike, a higher revenue from its online platform, and a higher revenue from its event, concert and stage plays.



WORK reported a profit of Bt380m in 3Q17, up 252% y-y and 2% q-q. WORK’s strong 3Q17 profit was in-line with our expectation, but came at higher than the market’s consensus. TV production revenue (89% of 3Q17 total revenue) came to Bt1,035m, rising by 44% y-y and 1% q-q. The y-y and q-q increases were due to ad rate hike, as well as higher revenue from its digital TV channel via online platform.

Recommendation Structure: Recommendations are based on absolute upside or downside, which is the difference between the target price and the current market price. If the upside is 10% or more, the recommendation is BUY. If the downside is 10% or more, the recommendation is SELL. For stocks where the upside or downside is less than 10%, the recommendation is HOLD. Unless otherwise specified, these recommendations are set with a 12-month horizon. Thus, it is possible that future price volatility may cause a temporary mismatch between upside/downside for a stock based on the market price and the formal recommendation. For sectors, we look at two areas, ie, the sector outlook and the sector weighting. For the sector outlook, an arrow pointing up, or the word “Positive”, is used when we see the industry trend improving. An arrow pointing down, or the word “Negative”, is used when we see the industry trend deteriorating. A double-tipped horizontal arrow, or the word “Unchanged”, is used when the industry trend does not look as if it will alter. The industry trend view is our top-down perspective on the industry rather than a bottom-up interpretation from the stocks we cover. An “Overweight” sector weighting is used when we have BUYs on majority of the stocks under our coverage by market cap. “Underweight” is used when we have SELLs on majority of the stocks we cover by market cap. “Neutral” is used when there are relatively equal weightings of BUYs and SELLs.
