Earnings upgrade/Earnings downgrade/Overview unchanged
Route adjustments to still support volume growth Price Performance (%)
Target price revised up to Bt9.00; Reiterate BUY We slightly revise up AAV’s target price by 5% to Bt9.00, based on 20x PER (‐0.5SD), after an upward earnings revision owing to continued passenger volume growth amidst the negative impact on Chinese passengers from the zero‐dollar tours crackdown. BUY maintained. Strong volume growth in 3Q16E despite zero‐dollar tours crackdown AAV admits that the zero‐dollar tours crackdown will slightly impact passenger volume, as Chinese passengers accounted for around 23% of the total, especially for charter flights to Chinese destinations, which contribute around 10‐15% of total flights. As a result, the implications for the full year should be minimal at round 3% of total passengers and AAV expects the impact to only last until next Chinese New Year. AAV is addressing the issue by increasing flight frequency to other destinations, such as UTP‐HDY and BKK‐HKT. Meanwhile, although the effect became apparent in the second half of September, AAV’s passenger volume growth in 3Q16E remained strong at +21% (higher than +18% in 1H16), as the increase of passenger volume for ASEAN and CLMV destinations more than offset the impact.

Earnings to remain impressive in 3Q16E We expect AAV to deliver net profit of Bt539mn in 3Q16E, +487% YoY and +28% QoQ, including normalized profit of Bt489mn (+136% YoY, +20% QoQ) and FX gain of Bt50mn. Our projection is based on passenger volume at 4.33mn (+21% YoY, +4% QoQ), the continued decline of ticket fares (‐5% YoY, +5% QoQ) to be conservative, and the ongoing fall of global jet fuel prices to US$54/barrel (‐11% YoY, +1% QoQ). Revise up net profit estimates in 2016‐17E by 5% and 4% We again revise up AAV’s net profit estimates in 2016‐17E by 5% and 4%, respectively, owing to an upgrade of passenger volume in 2016E to 17.3mn (+17%), vs. 17.0mn (+15%) previously. Based on this assumption, we expect passenger volume growth in 4Q16E to slow (to +12%), factoring in the negative impact of Chinese passengers. Consequently, AAV’s earnings result in 4Q16E will likely be soft owing to costs related to two new A350s that it will receive in the quarter. For 2017E, we maintain our conservative passenger volume growth of +10%. Financials and Valuation FY Ended 31 Dec Revenues (Btmn) Net profit (Btmn) EPS (Bt) Norm. profit (Btmn) Norm. EPS (Bt) Norm.
