Near‐term earnings remain under pressure THCOM faces challenges from many headwinds including lost orders domestically, slow progress on capacity sales overseas as well as a potential hike of regulatory risk. We view that THCOM, which is currently traded at only 5x 2016E EV/EBITDA, has factored in these negatives; meanwhile, the bottoming out of earnings in 3Q16E may cause its share price to underperform peers until progress on capacity sales is evident. 2Q16E NP to have retreated QoQ on lost orders We expect THCOM to post a net profit of Bt646mn in 2Q16E, up 13%YoY. Stripping out Fx gain, its core profit should gain 14%YoY and 0.2%QoQ to Bt587mn. Revenue is likely to have increased 3%YoY driven by the benefit of baht depreciation and the growth of CSL’s ICT business, but dropped 5%QoQ on orders lost from one key broadcasting client. Its EBITDA margin is expected to be flat at 47.3% thanks to well‐controlled SG&A expenses, offsetting the declining gross margin. Shared profit from LTC should also improve 3%YoY and 95%QoQ to Bt80mn, helping to maintain its bottom line. Earnings to bottom out in 3Q16E The announcement of the ceasing of the Ku‐band broadcasting platform of CTH, the leading pay‐TV operator, from August 1 onward has created downside risk to the earnings of THCOM. If CTH annuls its two KU‐band transponder contract, we believe the additional capacity from Myanmar’s Forever Group and the recently‐launched Thaicom8 will be sufficient to offset the overall loss of orders, causing its revenue in 3Q16 to fall by 0.9%QoQ. Nevertheless, the upsurge of the depreciation of Thaicom8 will cause its earnings to dive by 50%YoY and 36%QoQ. Lower guidance possible There is a possibility for THCOM to lower its full‐year revenue guidance of 4‐5% this year after the 1H16 earnings announcement to reflect the impact of losing key clients, which is currently factored into our model. Regarding the ICT Ministry’s idea to transfer all commercial satellites back under the concession scheme, THCOM said it has not yet received any official letter or had the chance to discuss this issue with the authorities. We see little chance for the government to make such a retroactive claim, but do not discount the possibility of it imposing additional fees on THCOM for orbital slot filing co‐ordination.
