Earning missed on operation and extra items MONO’s 4Q16 net loss came out at Bt193mn, much deeper than our forecast due to 1) 17% lower revenue than our expectation and 2) three impairment losses amounting to Bt46mn. The core loss was Bt146mn, which is far more than our forecast of Bt45mn. However, the TV business will continue to grow from increasing TV ratings and a discounted ad rate compared to peers. We maintain our Outperform rating with the 17E TP of Bt3.60. MONO will pay a dividend of Bt0.03 and will sell 330mn new shares (10% of current shares) through private placement. 4Q16 ad revenue missed by 50% Ad revenue in 4Q16 was Bt170mn, missing our forecast by 50% and declining 22%YoY from Bt218mn in 4Q15 as MONO29 was restrained from commercial activities for 30 days. However, its full‐year ad revenue still managed to grow 44% from Bt752mn in 2016 to Bt1,085mn in 2016. Its channel rating in Dec’16 was at 0.914 (age 4+, 24 hours, nationwide), increasing from 0.507 in Dec’15. We believe there is still room for an ad rate increase. MVAS heading further down Revenue from MVAS met our expectation, dropping 15%YoY and 4%QoQ to Bt209mn in 4Q16. However, the magnitude of the declining trend seems to already be slowing down, signaling a recovery phase for the business. Moreover, to address the downturn, MONO has announced that it is setting up two subsidiaries, namely, Mono Play and Mono Astro, to produce online content and games. Deep loss from operation and extra items Apart from core revenue that missed our forecast by 17%, MONO reported an impairment loss of Bt46mn from JV (Bt21mn), intangible assets (Bt24mn), and bad debts (Bt1mn). Without these extra items, the core loss was Bt46mn, more than our forecast of Bt45mn. Maintain Outperform with room for ad rate hike The average ad rate of MONO29 was around Bt22,000/min in 4Q16. The management plans to increase the ad rate by 20% ‐ 30% this year. Even with such a hike, its ad rate will still be discounted to TV peers. We believe there is still room for a big ad rate hike over the long term. Maintain Outperform with a possible upward earnings revision in the future.
