Solid earnings; capacity growth on the upside Given the company’s solid earnings secured by committed projects in the pipeline (with projected core profit growth at 10% CAGR in 2017‐18E and a core profit contribution of Bt2.3mn/MW in 2017‐18E, in the upper bound range vs. domestic peers at the average of Bt1.9‐2.0mn/MW during the period), with the potential for capacity additions as a windfall (i.e., Nam Theun 1 in Lao PDR and the potential expansion block of BLCP), we still rate Outperform on EGCO with the rolled‐over SOTP‐based 2018E TP of Bt245. Upbeat 2Q17 NP at Bt3.53bn EGCO marked soaring NP of Bt3.53bn in 2Q17 (+72% YoY, +19% QoQ), beating the street forecast by 31%. Stripping out Bt406mn forex gain, it delivered soaring core profit of Bt3.12bn (+48% YoY, +86% QoQ), with the better performance stemming from higher power generation and lower expenses. A stronger profit contribution was seen at NTPC (given higher power generation in line with the higher water level and lower interest expenses), Khanom Unit 4 (due to its smooth operation compared with the negligible contribution in 2Q16 after its commencement in mid‐June, 2016, and the 20‐day maintenance shutdown in 1Q17), Quezon (following the higher power generation with no unplanned outage as in 2Q16 and lower financing costs from repricing of loan interest), Masin‐ AES (from a higher holding stake to 49% since early‐July, 2016, along with lower selling and administrative expenses as well as interest expenses), BLCP (given the higher power generation against 2Q16 with an unplanned outage on Unit 2), and GPG (thanks to a higher availability payment in line with the seasonally high weight factor). 2017‐18E earnings estimates slightly fine‐tuned We make a negligible earnings revision of the company’s 2017E NP, with the higher profit contribution from geothermal projects in Indonesia due to the recent acquisition of 20% stakes in both Salak and Darajat to be mostly offset by a lower profit contribution from Khanom Unit 4 on its maintenance shutdown in 1Q17. The 1H17 core profit represents 50% of our full‐year forecast, while earnings acceleration is expected in 2H17 following the contribution kickoff of the three new SPP projects, as well as the new geothermal projects – Salak and Darajat. We slightly fine‐tune its 2018E NP by +3% to reflect the first full‐year contribution from Salak and Darajat (netting off the higher interest expenses from the new loans for funding the acquisition). We also roll over its 2018E SOTP‐based TP to Bt245/share.
