Earnings upgrade/Earnings downgrade/Overview unchanged
Impact from zero‐dollar tour crackdown should be short term Price Performance (%)
Reiterate BUY We lower AAV’s earnings in 2016E given the impact from the crackdown on zero‐dollar tours, which has negative implications for AAV’s Chinese passengers and average ticket fare. However, we believe this will only be a short‐term impact. AAV is still our favorite in the airline sector owing to earnings visibility, its highest market share in the LCC industry, and a high fuel hedging level in 2017E. We maintain our BUY rating for AAV with a PER‐based TP of Bt9.00 (based on 20x PER). Weaker‐than‐expected ticket fares in 3Q16 AAV delivered net profit of Bt397mn, 22% and 18% below our estimate and the consensus expectation owing to a lower‐than‐expected average ticket fare to Bt1,574/pax (‐8% YoY), vs. our forecast of Bt1,625/pax (‐5% YoY). This was due to the negative impact from the zero‐dollar tour crackdown and ticket promotions to support Chinese FIT tourists. Net profit jumped by 332% YoY owing to passenger volume growth (+21% to 4.33mn) and lower fuel expenses.

Zero‐dollar tour crackdown to impact 4Q16E performance In 4Q16E, ticket fares are likely to continue declining owing to both the negative impact from Chinese passengers and the mourning period. However, the situation looks to be improving currently and AAV believes that Chinese passengers will return after next Chinese New Year. Over 70% of fuel usage in 2017 was hedged In 2017E, AAV’s fuel hedging position was high at 71‐74% of fuel usage with an average cost of US$60 (vs. US$56 in 2016), owing to management’s view that the global oil price will increase next year. This will protect AAV’s performance in 2017E from oil price fluctuations. Revise down 2016E net profit estimate by 5%; 2017E maintained We revise down AAV’s net profit estimate in 2016E by 5% to Bt2.1bn, owing to a lower ticket fare assumption to Bt1,617/pax (‐3.0%), vs. Bt1,642/pax (‐1.5%) previously. However, we maintain our net profit projection of Bt2.2bn in 2017E, as we believe ticket fares are likely to resume growth. We maintain our conservative passenger volume growth of +10% in 2017E, vs. +15% in AAV’s target.
