SELL maintained DTAC posted better‐than‐expected earnings in 1Q17. Nevertheless, we do not expect to see near‐term earnings improvement given the intense market competition. Its ability to secure new spectrum would be a catalyst for re‐rating. 1Q17 results ahead of forecast DTAC posted 1Q17 NP of Bt229mn (EPS: Bt0.10), ahead of our forecast (Bt124mn) and the street estimate (Bt176mn). This was due to lower‐ than‐expected SG&A expenses at 19.7% vs. our forecast of 21%. Note that DTAC made an accounting adjustment by reclassifying handset‐ related expenses to better reflect the nature of the expenses. This caused the net loss of handset sales to widen to Bt958mn (‐39% margin) vs. an Bt835mn loss (‐20.5%) in 4Q16. Excluding the adjustment, SG&A expenses were at 20.9% (in‐line) while the handset loss narrowed to Bt723mn (‐27% margin). Bottom line remained weak YoY DTAC’s NP fell 82%YoY due to cost acceleration. Cost of services ex IC gained 9%YoY due to network expansion, which drove up D&A (+21%YoY) and network OPEX (+24%YoY). Its service revenue ex IC fell 1.3%YoY due to lower voice revenue (‐34%YoY). Data revenue increased by 26%YoY thanks to higher usage backed by attractive price plans, handset bundling offers and improving 4G network quality. EBITDA decreased 6%YoY to Bt6.9bn, but the EBITDA margin improved to 34.9% from 33.8% in 1Q16 on lower revenue. On a QoQ basis, its NP surged six‐fold owing to higher EBITDA and a Bt146mn restructuring expense booked in 4Q16. Financial position remained strong In 1Q17, its financial position remained healthy with positive operating cash flow and stable net debt to EBITDA at 1.1x. DTAC wiped out the retained loss on its separate financial statement by reducing the legal reserve and share premium, paving the way for a dividend payment. Earnings estimates unchanged DTAC has kept its full‐year guidance unchanged, with flattish service revenue and EBITDA. Its 1Q17 performance was not far off from our full‐ year forecast; thus, our earnings estimates are maintained. Still hope for TOT’s 2300MHz The door for DTAC to win TOT’s 2300MHz partnership contract is still open. As DTAC has the greatest incentive for this spectrum among the existing operators, we believe that its proposal should be attractive enough to be on TOT’s shortlist for further negotiation. Although DTAC may face additional near‐term cost pressure in the event that it wins the contract with TOT, this may trigger a stock re‐rating on adding back its terminal value. TOT has recently said that the shortlist will be announced by the end of April.
