Energy & Utilities August 16, 2016
Earnings upgrade/ Earnings downgrade / Overview unchanged
2Q16 operational peak; 2H16E earnings momentum capped Price Performance (%)
Solid earnings momentum; but demanding valuation Despite the company’s good earnings momentum in the next few years underpinned by the committed capacity expansion in the pipeline (546MW during 2017‐19E to reach 1,922MW in 2019E), the share price has largely priced this in with its 2017E PBV/ROE currently trading at 0.17x against the average of 0.13x of domestic peers; thus, we downgrade the rating to Underperform (from Outperform) with the rolled‐over 2017E SOTP‐based TP to Bt34.8/share. Meanwhile, the sizeable upside risk linked to Myanmar‐ exposure power projects will not see any development soon. Solid 2Q16 earnings, mainly from the operation line GPSC delivered 2Q16 NP of Bt687mn (+45% YoY, ‐21% QoQ) and core profit of Bt657mn (+9% YoY, ‐24% QoQ), with the commercial kickoff of IRPC‐CP Phase 1 (COD in Nov. 2015) and a more efficient production process from the optimization of the Rayong plant as the drivers YoY; meanwhile, the absence of dividend income from RPCL was the reason for the QoQ decline (vs. Bt180mn in 1Q16). It marked a high GPM of 17% in 2Q16 (vs. 16.1% in 1Q16), likely to be the peak quarter, mostly attributable to the higher demand of power and steam from customers at Rayong Central Utility Plants 1‐3 (CUP 1‐3) and IRPC‐CP Phase 1, as well as higher K and weight factors during the summer season.

Upward earnings revision during 2016‐18E We make an upward earnings revision in 2016‐18E by 20%/16%/15% to reflect 1) the fine‐tuning of the GPM, particularly in the case of Rayong CUP 1‐3 to 20% during the period, given the increasingly efficient production process; and 2) higher‐than‐expected other income, mainly due to dividend income from RPCL. Our newly‐revised 2016E forecast calls for earnings deceleration in 2H16E (1H16 NP accounted for 63% of our full‐year forecast), with a series of planned shutdowns at Rayong CUP 1‐3, Sriracha Power Plant, and IRPC‐CP. Meanwhile, the scheduled kickoff of IRPC‐CP Phase 2 and Bangpa‐In Cogeneration Phase 2 by mid‐2017E will be the earnings catalysts in 2017E. We also roll over our SOTP‐based TP to 2017 at Bt34.8/share, leaving solar Japan (Ichinoseki; 20.8MW, COD 4Q17) and CUP‐ 4 (Phase 1: 45 MW, target COD in 1Q18) as the source of upside risk to our earnings estimates and TP.
