Beat forecast/Below forecast/In line 4Q15 results above view Price Performance (%)
BUY maintained MC posted a better‐than‐expected NP in 2015 amidst fragile domestic spending. This was due to a combination of its successful promotional campaign and the government’s stimulus package during the high season. Its marketing strategies and internal control management will help its 2016E earnings to grow. Thus, our BUY rating is maintained with the 2016E TP of Bt16.60, pegged with average PER of 17x. 4Q15 earnings above view MC posted a net profit (NP) of Bt250mn (EPS: Bt0.31) in 4Q15. This beat our estimate and the street forecast by 14% and 17%, respectively, due to higher sales with a better share of profit from associates. 4Q15: the best quarter of the year MC’s 4Q15 NP surged 28%YoY and 1.2x QoQ. The successful promotional campaign during its high season brought its same‐store‐sales growth to 19%YoY. This combined with continued expansion of its points of sales boosted its top line by 23%YoY and 60%QoQ to Bt1.3bn. With more efficiency on cost control regarding the production line improvement project, its gross margin stood at 54.1%, on par with 4Q14. This was sufficient to cover the escalation in SG&A expenses. Thus, its EBITDA margin increased to 23.8% from 23.4% in 4Q14 and 19.7% in 3Q15.

Gained good traction in 2015 MC ended 2015 with a NP of Bt732mn (EPS: Bt0.92), increasing 3%YoY amidst sluggish domestic spending. Its sales reached a record high of Bt3.9bn (+12%YoY) thanks to 1) points of sales expansion (+48 outlets domestically); 2) the introduction of new product lines (i.e., luggage, top wear); and 3) active promotional campaigns. The better GPM outweighed skyrocketing SG&A expenses (to 37.3% to sales from 33.2%). With its strong financial position, MC will pay a DPS of Bt0.40 for the 2H15 performance, representing a 3.5% yield for the period. The XD sign will be posted on 28 April, with the payment date set for 19 May. Earnings forecasts unchanged We keep our 2016E‐2017E earnings forecasts unchanged. We like MC’s fast‐moving strategies including offering a greater variety of products and active marketing campaigns. This will help MC continue to expand its earnings growth.
