Media & Publishing February 2, 2017
Beat forecast/Below forecast/In line
Earnings fell, but within expectation Maintain “Underperform”; waiting to see benefit from new investments VGI reported weak results in 3QFY17 owing mainly to the impact from the mourning period, in line with our expectation for the whole year. We believe earnings should improve starting from 4QFY17 onwards. Although we believe net profit will achieve +29% CAGR in FY18‐19E owing to extensive new business expansion and the impact of a low base, FY18E PER of 40x likely factors in the positives, in our view. We maintain our “Underperform” rating for VGI with the SOTP‐based target price of Bt5.10, while waiting to see the beneficial impact of new investments on earnings.
Results date: February 1, 2017 Price Performance (%)
Net profit fell in 3QFY17 due in part to the mourning period VGI reported net profit of Bt124mn in 3QFY17 (Oct‐Dec 16), falling by 47% YoY and 37% QoQ. On a yearly basis, revenue increased by 29% YoY owing to realization of MACO’s revenue (started consolidation in Jun‐16). However, revenue from BTS‐related media and office media fell by 3% YoY and 19% YoY, respectively, owing to the ceasing of advertising content in digital media for 30 days (from 13 October) for the mourning period and partly due to the weak economy.

Profitability squeezed In 3QFY17, VGI’s gross profit margin dropped to 59%, vs. 66% in 3QFY16 and 62% in 2QFY17, owing to consolidating with MACO (lower margin) and falling revenue. Meanwhile, SG&A expenses significantly increased (+182% YoY and +26% QoQ to Bt236mn) owing to both the consolidation with MACO and higher expenses related to M&A deals. These reasons caused the net margin to decline to 19%, vs. 43% in 3QFY16 and 28% in 2QFY17. Bt0.035 interim dividend announcement VGI announced an interim DPS of Bt0.035 for 1HFY17, implying a 47% dividend payment ratio, below our 75% dividend payment ratio for the whole year. This implies a 1.2% dividend yield (annualized). Maintain earnings projection For 9MFY17, VGI delivered normalized profit of Bt500mn, 74% of our full‐ year normalized profit projection. We thus maintain our normalized profit estimate for the whole year, as we believe earnings will improve in the final quarter of the year.
