Project development on schedule New power plants will start operations from 3Q15 onward. MWE will COD in July while MGE will come around the end of Q3. The overall project development is on schedule. We estimate that the two power plants will deliver bottom line growth of 159% in 2015E. Four consecutive years of YoY growth We estimate a better profitability profile of the FiT system compared to the Adder system. With a higher selling price at Bt4.5 per unit, FiT power plants will generate approximately Bt15mn per MW of net profit (IRR around 25%) while CRB delivers just around Bt10mn (IRR around 18%). Together with the on‐schedule expansion plan, TPCH will start to deliver YoY bottom line growth over the next four years. Our model suggests net profit CAGR of 94% until 2019E.

More expansion The management is being aggressive by participating in FiT bidding whenever it takes place. The focus will be on the southern area and the total new capacity is expected to be approximately 100MW. Despite the risk of delays in the process, we think there will be some developments in 2H15. But lots of risk to get through Biomass power plant operators are facing some risk ahead. We think important issues include transmission lines, delays by the regulator, and lower project IRR from bidding. Expecting new projects, time to accumulate Capacity expansion will provide hype for the share performance in the short term. We are expecting more capacity from both greenfield projects and acquisitions. This should be the time for accumulating since the FiT bidding is likely to make some progress in 2H15, which will be positive for TPCH. Recommendation changes from Sell to Outperform.

Project progress MWE is now in the testing process and should be ready to COD in the beginning of July. MGP and TSG are still waiting for FiT licenses. The SCOD of these two projects has been expanded so it takes longer for the approval process. PGP and SGP also received approvals for FiT licenses. The first phase of PTG is now awaiting approval from the Board of Renewable Energy and we should know the result soon. Figure 1: Project progress

Future expansion plan The first growth phase (from 10MW to 106MW) will begin from 3Q15 when MWE starts COD. The existing projects on hand will start to deliver YoY bottom line growth from 4Q15 onward as capacity will be higher YoY. We forecast net profit CAGR of 94% during 2015E – 2019E, with the highest growth in 2016E. Figure 2: Expansion plan

The management reiterates the expansion plan of 150MW by 2017 and 200MW in 2019 (Figure 4). After the first 106MW, capacity expansion will involve FiT bidding, in which the authority will determine the zoning of power plants. TPCH will join the bidding with a focus on the southern area. However, the management said that they are eyeing an area in the central region as well. TPCH is now expecting additional biomass power plants in Narathiwat, Yala, Songkhla, Trang, and Krabi by 2017, which will increase total capacity to 105MW. By 2019, the company is expecting more power plants in Chumphon, Ranong, Phangnga, and Surat Thani, which will bring total capacity to 200MW. TPCH has set an IRR policy of 15%.

What is in our TP and why did we change our recommendation? Our 2015E TP includes the first 106MW. We estimate project IRR of 17% for CRB, 25% for the FiT power plants, and 20% for PTG (which is SPP and is now not subject to FiT). Therefore, we believe that the recent drop in the share price has already reflected our cautious assumptions and we see no further downside from this point onward. There has been some progress on FiT bidding from the regulator. At the least, we should see what the bidding process will look like by the end of July. What we know so far is 1) operators will bid on fixed FiT and 2) the regulator will determine the area and size of biomass. The final bid price depends on the capability of each operator. However, the area and size are hard to predict because this will depend on the capacity of transmission lines and demand in the area. TPCH is well prepared for the southern area and we believe it has an advantage due to its experience in project development. We fine‐tune our forecasts by splitting the PTG project into two parts according to the company’s plan so the final financial outlook remains intact. We maintain our 2015E TP but expect to see new projects soon, which will be a positive factor for the earnings outlook as well as the share price performance. Recommend Outperform.
