Earnings upside limited; SELL maintained DTAC’s operating performance has bottomed out, but the intensified competition will limit the improvement of momentum. This together with the unattractive yield causes us to leave our SELL rating unchanged despite its undemanding valuation for 2016E of 3.7x EV/EBITDA. 3Q16 NP below our estimate DTAC reported a net profit of Bt659mn (EPS: Bt0.28) in 3Q16, decreasing 46%YoY. This was 12% below our estimate, but beat the market consensus by 5%. The weaker‐than‐expected earnings were mainly because of a higher loss on handset sales. DTAC recorded a ‐32% handset sales margin vs. our estimate of ‐25%. Weak core earnings on cost pressure DTAC’s core earnings dropped 59%YoY on accelerating costs from continued network expansion and negative handset margin. Its service revenue ex IC fell 1.2%YoY to Bt16bn as strong growth in data revenue (+20%YoY) was insufficient to offset the decline in voice revenue (‐ 23%YoY). Its cost of services ex IC continued to climb by 7.6%YoY due to higher D&A from network expansion. Its SG&A to revenue stood at 21%. The intensified market competition and growth in postpaid bundled with device offers led to a wider negative margin to ‐32% from 19% last year. Nevertheless, its EBITDA margin improved to 37% from 36% on lower regulatory and administrative costs. On a QoQ basis, stripping out one‐time restructuring costs, its core profit jumped 21% on EBITDA expansion as a result of lower handset subsidy and selling expenses. Revises up EBITDA guidance DTAC keeps its guidance of a slight YoY decline in revenue ex IC and CAPEX of Bt20bn unchanged. However, it revised the EBITDA guidance from an EBITDA margin of 31‐33% and now expects it to reach at least the same level as last year. It seems that the management has a bit more positive view, translating to an EBITDA margin of 32‐34% on the assumption of a slight drop in revenue YoY. Its 9M16 NP of Bt2.1bn represents 87% of our full‐year forecast. With the positive development on postpaid subscribers and good cost control, we may fine‐tune our earnings forecasts after the analyst meeting today.
