New high with net profit in 4Q15 Price Performance (%)
Maintain “Outperform” with 2016E DCF target price of Bt75 The normalized net profit of Bt631mn increased by 4.8%QoQ and 33.8%YoY in 4Q15. Despite seasonally weak revenue during the quarter, KCE’s 4Q15 earnings were driven by GPM improvement to 33.8% vs. 32% in 3Q15 thanks to the cost savings after the shutdown of the old plant and economies of scale. We believe the firm’s earnings are likely to remain strong, with a CAGR of 17% during 2016‐18, driven by the growth in electronics products used in the automotive sector, production expansion and a better GPM. 2015 revenue amounted to Bt12,449mn, up 10%YoY KCE posted a net profit of Bt2,192mn in 2015, up 22%YoY with a slight contraction in the average GPM to 31.4% vs. 31.6% in 2014. The weaker GPM was blamed on the fact that in 1H15 its plant did not run at full capacity; nevertheless, after plant relocation the firm benefited from cost savings and economies of scale, leading to a higher utilization rate at 74% in 4Q15 vs. 50% in 1H15. Hence, the GPM peaked at 33.8% in 4Q15. Moreover, the firm also brought its SG&A to sales down to 12.2% vs. 14.9% in 2014.

Bright outlook in 2016E In 2016, we expect KCE to enjoy the full benefits from: i) cost savings of around Bt35mn quarterly after the closure of the old plant; ii) a higher utilization rate at the new plant; iii) the depreciation of the baht; and iv) a slight decline in raw material costs. We believe KCE will be able to maintain its GPM at 33.5% ‐ 33.9% and expect it to continue on an uptrend following the higher utilization rate at the new plant in Phase I and II (expected to reach 100% in 2Q16). Hence, 2016E revenue and net profit are expected to grow 22%YoY and 35%YoY, respectively. Technological growth to drive KCE’s earnings We believe demand for PCB will increase in line with the growth in demand for electronics products used for the safety of drivers, which carmakers are now emphasizing. Finally, KCE’s earnings may also be boosted further by the continued growth in the automotive industry.
