Net profit fell owing to higher expenses Price Performance (%)
Mourning period to pressure share price in the short term VGI continued to deliver weak results in 2QFY17 owing to weak ad industry spending and higher expenses despite fully consolidating with MACO. Meanwhile, we expect the mourning period to add significant downside risk to our earnings estimates in FY17E. Although we still believe in VGI’s long‐term growth potential owing to being a beneficiary of BTS network expansion along with other new business, however, we expect earnings contribution from new business to be insignificant in FY17‐18E. We thus maintain our “Underperform” rating for VGI with the FY17E SOTP‐based TP of Bt5.20 (does not yet include new business). Normalized profit declined owing mainly to higher SG&A expenses VGI delivered net profit of Bt198mn in 2QFY17 (Jul‐Sep 16), falling by 24% YoY and 37% QoQ owing to the absence of net extra gains booked in both 2QFY16 (Bt41mn) and 1QFY17 (Bt135mn). Stripping out extra items, VGI reported normalized profit of Bt198mn, falling by 9% YoY but increasing by 11% QoQ. On a yearly basis, norm. profit fell owing to the decline of the gross profit margin and higher SG&A expenses, partly from MACO (consolidated with MACO starting from 1 June 2016 after stake holding increased to 37.42%, vs. 24.92% previously). Meanwhile, SG&A expenses were higher owing partly to expenses related to business expansion for both VGI and MACO.

Revenue expansion from consolidation with MACO In 2QFY17, VGI posted revenue of Bt712mn, +33% YoY and +29% QoQ, owing to the full‐quarter consolidation with MACO. The major source of income still came from BTS‐related revenue at Bt481mn (68% of total), flat YoY owing to weak ad industry spending but increasing by 12% QoQ owing to the seasonal pattern. Revenue from office buildings and others continued to show the strongest growth (+37% YoY, +18% QoQ) owing mainly to building expansion. In MACO’s separate financial statement, its revenue was flat YoY and declined slightly by 5% QoQ to Bt172mn, also due to the weak ad industry. The gross profit margin (GPM) was lower to 62%, vs. 64% in 2QFY16, due to the revenue contribution from MACO (offers a lower GPM compared with BTS‐related revenue). Downside risk to net profit in FY17E from mourning period Our net profit estimates in FY17E for VGI are under review for a possible downgrade owing to weaker‐than‐expected 1HFY17 normalized profit and the impact of the mourning period.
