Opportunity to invest; rating upgraded to Buy KCE reported 2016 net profit growth of 36%, falling short of our estimate by 4%. We trimmed our 2017E earnings projection by 4% to reflect the slight impact of higher copper sheet prices. We also cut our 2017E target price to Bt116/share (from Bt117). The share price has fallen and we now see upside to our 2017E earnings growth projection of 27%, driven mainly by the EV/PHEV market and electronic systems in cars. We thus raise our rating to “Buy” from Underperform. 4Q16 net profit fell on seasonality KCE reported 4Q16 net profit of Bt690mn, down 12%QoQ. The QoQ decline was caused by the seasonal fall in sales by 10%QoQ and the delay in realization of some revenue as clients changed the shipment method, i.e., from by air to by sea. Moreover, copper sheet prices increased, which pushed up the production costs of PCB. Therefore, the gross profit margin narrowed to 34% vs. 36% in 3Q16. However, on a YoY basis, the net profit still grew by 4%YoY thanks to lower SG&A to sales to 12% vs. 12.5% in 4Q15. 2016 net profit grew by 36%YoY KCE’s 2016 net profit fell short of our estimate by 4%, amounting to Bt3,039mn (+36%YoY). The gross profit margin improved to 34.9% vs. 31.4% in 2015 thanks to economies of scale following the ramp up of the new plant’s Phases I and II to where capacity almost reached the maximum. Meanwhile, the increase in orders following growing demand for electronic parts used in automotive helped boost sales growth to +11%YoY. Moreover, the firm maintained SG&A at 12.2%, almost flat from last year. Higher copper foil prices to impact KCE slightly Copper foil prices have increased because of higher demand for products used for the production of batteries for electric vehicles. We view that this trend will have a slight impact on KCE in 1H17 as the firm may not be able to handle the fast increase in the copper price. Note, however, that copper sheets account for merely 8‐9% of the firm’s total production costs and that KCE is a PCB producer who earns high margins and focuses mainly on quality. Therefore, the company should be able to pass on some of the higher production cost trend to clients in 2H17. Also, it has many copper sheet suppliers, so there should be enough supply to support production. 2017E earnings forecast revised down We revised down our 2017E earnings projection slightly by 4% to reflect the higher copper sheet price that has raised KCE’s production cost burden in 1H17. However, the 2017E earnings are still expected to grow well by 27%, driven mainly by the EV/PHEV market and electronic systems in cars.
