Solid 3Q16 NP Price Performance (%)
Solid earnings momentum; but demanding valuation Despite the company’s strong fundamentals backed by good earnings momentum with projected core profit growth at 21% CAGR in 2016‐18E underpinned by the committed capacity expansion in the pipeline, along with its high profit‐making ability with core profit/MW at Bt2.1‐2.3mn/MW, in the upper bound range compared with domestic peers at the average of Bt1.8‐1.9mn/MW, its share price has largely priced this in with its 2017E PBV/ROE currently trading at demanding 0.15x against the average of 0.13x of domestic peers; thus, we maintain an “Underperform” rating on GPSC. Delivered solid 3Q16 at Bt724mn, back by dividend income from RPCL

GPSC reported solid 3Q16 earnings with Bt724mn NP (+28% YoY, +5.5% QoQ) and Bt756mn core profit (+30% YoY, +15% QoQ), with the kickoff of IRPC‐CP Phase 1 (COD in Nov. 2015) behind the improving operational line YoY; meanwhile, the dividend income from RPCL amounting to Bt240mn in the quarter helped offset the weakening performance QoQ. Its sales revenue fell 7% QoQ to Bt5.2bn in 3Q16 and its gross profit margin declined to 14.2% in the quarter (vs. 17% in 2Q16), mainly due to the smaller revenue of both IPP and SPP given the lower electricity tariff in line with the seasonal declines in the Ft rate and weight factor, as well as the unplanned shutdown of one unit of the Gas Turbine at CUP‐1. Upward earnings revision on 2016‐18E We make upward earnings revisions in 2016‐18E by 14%/12%/10% to reflect the fine‐tuning of the gross profit margin, particularly in the case of Rayong CUP 1‐3 driven by the increasingly efficient production process, making the consolidated gross profit margin increase by 3% to 15‐16% in the period. Note that the 9M16 core profit and NP represent 81% of our full‐year forecasts, with seasonally low earnings expected in the last quarter. 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 revise up our 2017E SOTP‐based TP to Bt36.5/share (from Bt35/share earlier), but still leave 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.
