Remaining the prime beneficiary of economic recovery We retain our positive stance on KTB although we see some downside risk to our earnings estimates for 2015‐16E. We still like KTB on the bank being the prime beneficiary of the ongoing economic growth, the continued strengthening of its financial positions, and its inexpensive valuations with 2015E P/BV of 1.2x vs. the average of 1.5x and 1.3x for Thai and regional bank peers respectively. Expect 4Q14E net profit (NP) of Bt9.5bn (‐3% YoY, +3% QoQ) This estimate is based on the assumption that the bank will set a normal provision (~Bt2.2bn) in 4Q14E as per the president’s latest statement. Meanwhile, the bank hints that its NPLs in 4Q14E have been manageable and quite stable QoQ after a continued increase during 9M14. 2015 guidance still highlights comfortable operating environment The bank president’s preliminary business guidance still implies a comfortable operating environment for 2015E, which should result in better profitability and asset quality outlooks for 2015E, thanks partly to its transformation plan. Potential downside risk to our earnings forecasts for 2015‐16E We see some downside risk for the 15‐16E NP forecasts, mainly on the potential of 1) lower‐than‐expected fee income; 2) lower NIM, mainly on the large influx of deposits during 4Q14; and 3) slightly lower loan growth. We will revisit our earnings forecasts after the bank gives its business guidance for 2015E later this month. Financial and Valuation

Expect 4Q14E net profit of Bt9.5bn (‐3% YoY, +3% QoQ) We expect KTB’s 4Q14E net profit (NP) at Bt9.5bn (‐3% YoY and +3% QoQ). This based on the assumption that the bank will set a normalized provision (~Bt2.2bn) in 4Q14E as per the latest statement of the bank’s president (Vorapak Tanyawong). However, in the case that the bank decides to set an extra provision, every Bt1.0bn would reduce the bank’s NP for 4Q14E by ~Bt800mn and the NP for 2014E by around 2%. Based on our NP estimate for 4Q14E, the bank’s net profit for 2014E would stand at Bt34.7bn (+2% YoY) vs. our previous forecast of Bt35.3bn (+4% YoY). The slight increase in its NP QoQ should come mainly from 1) higher fee income QoQ on seasonality; and 2) the likelihood of robust loan growth of ~4% QoQ, partly driven by loans from the government sector. However, NIM for 4Q14E is likely to drop QoQ due to a huge influx of deposits (>Bt200bn) during 4Q14E, which resulted from several attractive deposit campaigns in the period. Meanwhile, the bank hints that its NPLs for 4Q14E have been manageable and quite stable QoQ after a continued increase during 9M14. This is due to its more efficient risk management system, thanks largely to the bank’s transformation process, especially the implementation of the Loan Factory system.

Preliminary 2015 guidance highlights comfortable operating environment In his message to the press late last year, the bank’s president (Vorapak Tanyawong) highlighted the key business targets for 2015E, comprised of: 1) targeting loan growth of >6% or at around 1.5x to GDP growth (3.5‐4.5%); 2) continuing to push the transformation plan in order to help boost work efficiency and profitability; and 3) expecting its asset quality to improve, which should result in a lower extra provision going forward. Note that the bank’s main loan growth drivers and focus should continue to be the retail and SME segments, while it will maintain its leading position and market share in government and corporate lending. Potential downside risk to our earnings forecasts for 2015‐16E We see some downside risk for the 15‐16E NP forecasts, mainly on the potential of 1) lower‐ than‐expected fee income; 2) lower NIM, mainly on the large influx of deposits during 4Q14; and 3) lower loan growth vs. our current forecasts of +12% for both 2015‐2016E. We will revisit our earnings forecasts after the bank gives its business guidance for 2015E, likely later this month after the announcement of the 2014E results.
