International passenger volume growth likely to turn positive in Dec‐16 AOT’s passenger volume in Nov‐16 still expanded by 3.1% YoY, led by domestic passengers (+9.1% YoY), while international passengers fell by 1.6% YoY given the impact of the crackdown on zero‐dollar tours (from Chinese destinations). The figures were in line with international tourist arrivals to Thailand in Nov‐16 from the Department of Tourism that fell by 4.4% YoY to 2.45mn, led by Chinese tourists (‐30% YoY); meanwhile, tourists from Europe still expanded by 8% YoY, led by Russia (+24% YoY). Based on the normal high season of tourist arrivals from Europe (winter holidays), we believe AOT’s international passenger volume in Dec‐16 will likely turn slightly positive.

Reiterate “Outperform” We maintain our “Outperform” rating with the DCF‐based TP of Bt435 (implied 27x PER) for AOT given the expectation that earnings in FY17‐ 18E will achieve +14% CAGR owing to conservative passenger volume growth (+7% pa.) and the concession revenue contribution from the new terminals at DMK and Phuket. We believe our valuation is justified compared with +6% CAGR average earnings growth for regional peers with average PER of 17x. Short‐term pressure on the share price from the temporary stumble of Chinese tourist arrivals should provide an opportunity to accumulate.
1QFY17E net profit to grow 10% YoY, partly from FX gains We expect AOT to deliver net profit of Bt5.1bn in 1QFY17E (Oct‐Dec 16) based on estimated passenger volume of 30.7mn, +6% YoY and +3% QoQ, mainly from domestic (+2% for international, +11% for domestic). Revenue will likely increase by 7% YoY to Bt12.6bn owing mainly to the revenue contribution from the APPS system, while we expect average PSC and concession/pax to slightly decline given a higher portion of domestic passengers. Earnings will likely grow by 10% YoY and 18% QoQ, partly due to expected huge FX gains of Bt240mn given the Thai baht’s strengthening relative to the Japanese yen. Stripping out FX gains, AOT will likely report normalized profit of Bt4.8bn, growing by 5% YoY and 11% QoQ. Net profit in 1QFY17E will likely account for 22% of our full‐ year projection, as we believe international passengers will ramp up for the rest of this year.
