Negatives priced in Price Performance (%)
Maintain BUY with target price lowered to Bt23 (SOTP) Based on lower‐than‐expected earnings in 1Q17 and continuing price competition, we lower BA’s earnings in 2017‐18E. As a result, BA’s SOTP‐ based target price is also lowered to Bt23, vs. Bt26 previously. Still, we believe that the tourism industry will likely pick up in 2H17E, which will be a major positive catalyst for BA. Meanwhile, we believe BA’s share price that has fallen by 20% in the previous six months already factors in the negative impact to a certain degree. Maintain BUY. Lower‐than‐expected 1Q17 net profit BA reported net profit of Bt548mn in 1Q17, falling by 65% YoY, below our expectation by 28% owing to higher‐than‐expected operating costs and slightly lower‐than‐expected revenue on the decline of the average fare by 6% YoY (vs. our expectation of ‐4% YoY) due to intense competition, especially for CLMV destinations. Meanwhile, Samui in‐out destinations were also impacted by competition coupled with declining EU revenue, especially for Germany and the UK.

Airport‐related revenue still grew in 1Q17 BA delivered revenue of Bt7.1bn in 1Q17, falling by 2% YoY, consisting of passenger revenue of Bt5.9bn (‐4% YoY due to the reason mentioned above) and airport‐related revenue of Bt983mn (+12% YoY). Revenue from catering, ground handling, and cargo services at SBIA expanded owing to an increase in sales volume, new customers, and price adjustments. Price competition to continue BA believes the price competition will continue for the rest of this year owing to airlines’ capacity expansion, coupled with the fact that positive signs have not yet been seen for EU traveler demand. As a result, BA expects the average fare in 2017E to likely fall by 10% YoY and maintains its own target for passenger volume of 6.15‐6.20mn (+ 9‐10% YoY). Revise down net profit estimates in 2017‐18E by 21% for both years We lower BA’s net profit projections in 2017‐18E by 21% for both years to Bt1.5bn and Bt1.6bn, respectively, mainly from the downward revision of average ticket fare growth in 2017E to ‐10% to Bt3,400/pax (vs. ‐2% previously). We maintain our passenger volume of 6.2mn in 2017E, +10% YoY, in line with BA’s own target.
