4Q16 earnings missed expectation Attractive yield remains INTUCH’s earnings in 4Q16 came up short of our forecast pressured by the weak performance of its investments in both the satellite and mobile businesses. With the minimum dividend payout policy cut for ADVANC, the yield for INTUCH in 2017 will be reduced to 5%, which remains attractive in our view. Thus, our BUY rating is maintained.
Results date: February 6, 2017 Price Performance (%)
4Q16 results were below expectation INTUCH posted a net profit of Bt2.3bn (EPS: Bt0.70) in 4Q16, below our estimate and the market’s by 17% and 11%, respectively. This was due to lower‐than‐expected earnings for THCOM on the loss of a key customer for conventional satellites and the recognition of the warranty expenses for user terminals in Australia. INTUCH also set an impairment for investment in venture capital by Bt68mn in 4Q16.
b
4Q16 core operation fell Stripping out the impairment loss, INTUCH’s core earnings fell by 42%YoY and 4%QoQ to Bt2.5bn. This was mainly due to lower distribution from the satellite business, which was faced with lower bandwidth usage for both conventional and broadband satellites amidst higher costs. Shared profit from ADVANC also fell 36%YoY. Share of profit from investment in joint ventures also dropped 60%YoY due to the slow performance of LTC and High shopping.

2016 NP looked good on extra items INTUCH reported an impressive net profit of Bt16.4bn in 2016, increasing 2%YoY. Nevertheless, if excluding the reversed provision for unpaid operating fees and interest for ITV of Bt3.88bn, its profit for continued operations declined 26%YoY to Bt12.5bn due to the slowdown in the performances of both THCOM and ADVANC. DPS of Bt1.61, goes XD on April 7 Given the dividend payment of its core investment in both ADVANC and THCOM, INTUCH announced to pay a DPS of Bt1.61 for the 1Q17 performance, representing a yield of 3.0% for the period. The XD sign will be posted on April 7, with the payment date on April 28. Flat revenue guidance in 2017E INTUCH has provided 2017 operating guidance with estimated flat YoY revenue growth. INTUCH will maintain its pass‐through dividend policy, but ADVANC’s minimum payout ratio cut to 70% implies a lower yield for INTUCH to 4‐5% from 8‐9% previously. The full impact from ADVANC’s payout policy cut will be seen in 2018 performance.
