Bright business outlook and promising earnings prospects The outlook for Thai broiler exports remains bright with expected new markets in 2017. The raw material costs may remain low while domestic broiler prices should stay sound. Hence, the firm’s profit margin is expected to continue growing strongly. 1Q17E earnings are expected to have grown by 50%YoY. However, the current share price is almost fully valued vs. our target price of Bt17.50/share (13x PER). We thus downgrade our rating to “Outperform” (from Buy). Thai broiler export growth projected at 2‐8% in 2017E The Thai Broiler Export Association projects Thai broiler export growth of 2‐8% to 760,000 to 800,000 tons, driven by growing demand from the Japanese market for both raw and cooked products, as well as new markets (for raw broiler products), e.g., South Korea, Singapore and a potential market, Saudi Arabia (i.e., the world’s second biggest broiler importer at 0.85mn tons after Japan at 0.96mn tons in 2016). Saudi Arabia is likely to resume imports of raw chicken part products from Thailand in the near future. Good broiler prices and low raw material costs to drive profit margin The latest broiler price has risen to Bt40‐41/kg (vs. an average of Bt39‐ 40/share in 1Q17 and Bt37/share in2016), which is consistent with the increase in the current price of day‐old chicks to Bt17.50/chick (vs. the average of Bt16.2 in 1Q17 and Bt13.3 in 2016). The domestic broiler price is likely to remain high in the next 3‐6 months on the back of growing demand from the expansion of export markets. As for raw material prices (feed), the levels remain low. For example, the corn price has been at Bt8/kg (vs. Bt8.6 in 2016) and the soybean meal price has stood at Bt16.2/kg (vs. Bt17.1 in 2016), which is positive to operators’ profit margins. Bright outlook for 1Q17 with expected growth of +50%YoY but ‐7%QoQ We expect GFPT to report core profit of Bt413mn in 1Q17 (+50%YoY, ‐ 7%QoQ), with projected sales of Bt4.37bn (+12%YoY, ‐3%QoQ). The gross profit margin is projected at 15% (vs. 11.5% in 1Q16 and 17.1% in 4Q16). Finally, the firm is expected to have booked a profit contribution from its affiliates at Bt90mn (‐15%YoY, +20%QoQ). 2017E earnings projection maintained If the 1Q17E earnings come out in line with expectations, the figure will represent 24.5% of our full‐year projection at Bt1.69bn (+6%), which is quite good for 1Q earnings (note: normally the first quarter earnings mark the low point for the year before accelerating in 2Q and peaking in 3Q). Given the bright outlook for Thai broiler exports, our 2017E earnings projection tilts to upside. Financial and Valuation FY Ended 31 Dec Revenues (Btmn) Net profit (Btmn) EPS (Bt) Norm.

Bright outlook for 1Q17 with expected growth of +50%YoY but ‐7%QoQ Export volume normally falls on seasonality in 1Q; however, given strong demand from Japan and Malaysia, export volume is projected at 7,200 tons (+33%YoY, ‐20%QoQ). As export prices in the first two months remained solid, we project sales of Bt4.37bn in value terms (+12%YoY, ‐ 3%QoQ). Meanwhile, thanks to low feed costs, the firm’s gross profit margin is projected at 15% (vs. 11.5% in 1Q16 and 17.1% in 4Q16). Finally, the firm is expected to have booked a profit contribution from its affiliates at Bt90mn (‐15%YoY, +20%QoQ). Figure 1: 1Q17 earnings preview
