Bright earnings prospects to continue in 2016E Price Performance (%)
TP lifted to Bt26.50 from revised TP of BDMS; BUY maintained We maintain our BUY call for BA with a revised SOTP‐based target price of Bt26.50, vs. Bt25.00 previously, after revising the TP of BDMS to Bt22 (2016E TP) vs. Bt19 previously (2015E TP). We expect BA’s net profit to grow by 23% YoY in 2016E owing mainly to passenger volume expansion, especially at Samui International Airport. Still focusing on Samui route expansion in 2016E Upon entering the 4Q15 winter season, BA plans to increase flights to many destinations, with a primary focus on Samui, such as Samui‐Phuket and Samui‐Singapore. In 2016E, BA will introduce three new routes consisting of Samui‐Guangzhou, BKK‐Da Nang, and one destination in Myanmar; there will also be flight frequency increases for Samui‐Kuala Lumpur and further increases for Samui‐Singapore. Moreover, with additional codeshare partners and potential fleet upgrades, BA targets passenger volume growth of 17% in 2016E with flat average tick fares, in line with our expectation.

Downside risk to 2016E net profit if FAA downgrades Thai aviation There has been no progress/result after the recent re‐audit by the FAA and EASA of the Thai aviation authorities and THAI in response to the safety standard red flag by the ICAO in Jun‐15. A worst‐case scenario of an FAA downgrade of Thai aviation to Category 2 would likely have a negative impact on passengers from codeshare partners; BA is in discussions with partners on changing the cooperation from codeshare to interline in the event of a downgrade. However, regarding interline cooperation, BA would have to realize booking fees, which may result in 5‐10% downside risk to our earnings projection in 2016E, based on US$6‐ 7/ticket booking fees and the assumption that around 20% of total passengers would likely be impacted. Nevertheless, we maintain our view that the ICAO issue will likely be resolved in 1H16E. 2015E net profit revised up from FX gains We maintain our norm. profit projections in 2015‐16E for BA. However, we revise up net profit in 2015E by 8% to Bt1.9bn owing to realization of FX gains. We expect BA’s net profit in 4Q15E to be soft on a quarterly basis owing to an expected bonus expense increase and deferred tax expenses related to two additional financial lease aircraft that BA will receive in 4Q15E.
