Weak earnings expected in 1Q16E  We  expect  DTAC  to  post  a  core  profit  of  Bt1.3bn  in  1Q16E,  decreasing  37%YoY.  This  should  be  attributable  to  a  weak  top  line  along  with  increasing network and SG&A expenses. Its service revenue should have  continued to decline 3.8%YoY given the wrestling for 2G subscribers. Its  gross  margin  should  have  slid  to  29%  owing  to  elevated  costs  from  network  investment,  particularly  for  the  network  under  the  concession.  SG&A to sales is expected to have jumped from 16.0% in 1Q15 to 19.3%  due to  the effort  to defend  its revenue  market share  amidst  intensified  competition. On a QoQ basis, its core profit is expected to have increased  by 40%, mainly on lower SG&A to sales. DTAC ran a “Happy dream car”  campaign, which offered nine Mercedes Benz during 4Q15.

Downgrade to SELL Although we upgrade DTAC’s 2016E target price to Bt38.30 (DCF, WACC)  in response to the return to a three‐player industry landscape, we retain  our cautious view on the company’s profitability outlook. We expect its  earnings to be nearly flat during the next three years. The recent rebound  of  the  share  price  is  an  opportunity  to  unload  shares;  thus,  we  downgrade the rating to SELL.  

Striving to defend market share  DTAC  confirmed  its  priority  of  defending  its  revenue  market  share.  This  will be secured by its strong 4G network with attractive device and price  plan  offerings.  DTAC  views  that  it  is  not  justified  to  steal  ADVANC’s  2G  subscribers  while  earning  revenue  from  the  roaming  agreement.   Nevertheless, the company will soon launch a handset subsidy program  to speed up migration of its 2G subscribers as well as defend its market  base.  Given  the  perception  that  its  network  quality  is  inferior,  we  are  concerned that its more aggressive marketing campaign will only succeed  in defending its position rather than enabling it to gain higher revenue.  Fine‐tuning 2016E earnings  We revise down 2016E earnings forecast by 9% due to our less optimistic  view on its roaming revenue with ADVANC following the Central Court’s  ruling  on  the  extension  of  the  2G  system  shutdown.  Nevertheless,  our  better  long‐term  outlook  given  the  three‐player  competitive  landscape  results in the DCF‐based TP increasing to Bt38.30.  Financials and Valuation   FY Ended 31 Dec Revenues (Btmn) Net profit (Btmn) EPS (Bt)  Norm EPS (Bt) Norm EPS growth (%) Dividend (Bt) BV (Bt) FY Ended 31 Dec Norm. PER (x) EV/EBITDA (x) P/BV (x) Dividend yield (%) ROE (%) Net gearing (%)
