Reiterate BUY BA’s earnings in 2H16E are likely to continue growing upon entering the high season. We maintain our BUY call with the 2017E SOTP‐based TP of Bt32, implying PER of 25x, close to historical average PER of 26x for BA. Bright prospects for 3Q16E BA revealed 1.09mn advance ticket bookings currently, +16% YoY, of which 73% are scheduled to travel in Aug‐Dec 16 (41% to Samui and 18% to Indochina destinations). For July only, the cabin factor was expected to have stood at 73%, vs. 70% in Jul‐15. Meanwhile, the cabin factor between 1‐15 Aug was likely 80%, vs. 76% in Aug‐15. As such, we expect the 3Q16E earnings for BA to continue growing YoY. (BA reported net profit of only Bt579mn in 3Q15, including Bt178mn FX gain).

More focus on Chinese destinations in 2H16 In 1H16, 47% of BA’s passenger revenue (Bt10.5bn, +11% YoY, 83% of total revenue) came from the Samui Island route, 25% from domestic destinations and 22% from Indochina destinations. The source of growth came mainly from the Samui route (+18% YoY) and Indochina (+14% YoY). BA will focus more on Chinese destinations in 2H16 by increasing frequency (Samui – Chengdu and Samui – Chongging) and introducing a new route (Samui – Guangzhou in Nov‐16). BA has a target to double the contribution of Chinese passengers in the future, vs. 4% of the total currently. BA also targets to add three codeshare partners in 2H16E, two from Chinese carriers. High potential for BKK‐Danang, Vietnam route in longer term In May‐16, BA introduced a new route to Danang (Vietnam). The cabin factor looked strong at 74% in May and it rose to 85% in July despite Vietnam airlines becoming a competitor in June. The new terminal at Danang International Airport is under construction and is expected to be finished in Mar‐17. BA targets to increase flight frequency to daily in Sep‐ 16, vs. four flights/week currently. In 2015, the airport served 6.72mn passengers, +35% YoY. 53%/58% of fuel usage for the next four quarters is hedged We believe the fluctuation of jet fuel prices is less likely to hurt BA’s performance as 53%/58% of the company’s fuel usage for 2H16/1H17 is currently hedged (average cost of around US$50‐57/barrel), vs. 75%/46% for AAV and 60%/40% for THAI.
