2QFY17 earnings slightly higher than expectation Results date: May 15, 2017 Price Performance (%)
6% higher‐than‐expected net profit in 2QFY17 (Jan‐Mar 17) AOT reported net profit of Bt6,470mn in 2QFY17 (Jan‐Mar 17), up by 18% YoY and 29% QoQ, higher than our estimate and the street expectation by 6% owing to lower‐than‐expected operating expenses. Stripping out FX gain of Bt60mn, AOT delivered norm. profit of Bt6,410mn, +16% YoY and +34% QoQ. On a yearly basis, norm. profit increased owing to revenue expansion (+6% YoY) on traffic growth (+8% passenger volume, +7% aircraft movement). Meanwhile, operating expenses declined by 3% YoY, mainly from costs related to depreciation (as some assets at SBIA had full depreciation), maintenance and other expenses. The decline of operating costs resulted in a higher operating margin to 55%, vs. 51% in 2QFY16. On a quarter‐to‐quarter basis, norm. profit increased by 34% QoQ also owing to revenue and operating margin expansion.

Retroactive rental costs of regional airports started in 2QFY17 AOT already started realization of incremental state property rental expenses related to regional airports of around Bt50mn in 2QFY17 (and retroactive on the financial statement in 2QFY16), in line with our expectation of additional costs of around Bt200mn for the whole year. Maintain normalized profit projection For 1H17, AOT’s net profit and norm. profit increased by 14% YoY and 11% YoY to Bt11.5bn and Bt11.2bn, respectively, owing to revenue and margin expansion. Norm. profit of Bt11.2bn in 1HFY17 accounted for 49% of our projection for the whole year. Thus, we maintain our earnings projection in FY17E for AOT.

SBIA’s cost adjustment still overhanging Although 2QFY17 earnings were better than expected, we decide to maintain our earnings projections in FY17‐18E for AOT. Still, we view that the potential of rental cost increases for SBIA will pressure AOT’s share price for the next three months (this issue is likely to be concluded by Sep‐17). We thus maintain our “Underperform” rating with the DCF‐ based TP of Bt43.50 for AOT. Every Bt1bn rental cost increase will lower our FY17E net profit projection and TP for AOT by 3% and 1%, respectively.
