Lack of positive catalysts Despite the lower risk on PTTEP’s poor asset quality going forward after the huge impairment loss charged in 4Q14, we see no earnings acceleration in 1H15E (likely to drop sharply YoY) given sustained high unit costs against the lower ASP. Thus, we maintain our “Underperform” rating for PTTEP even though its current 1.1x 2015E PBV is trading at the lower bound zone of ‐2.0SD. Expected to deliver Bt5.6bn NP in 1Q15E PTTEP’s 1Q15E earnings reflect its operation line with negligible non‐ recurring items; NP is projected at Bt5.6bn (‐55% YoY, but reversing from a net loss in 4Q14) and core profit is projected at Bt6.4bn (‐49% YoY, +56% QoQ). The weak operation YoY is largely blamed on the lower ASP and higher unit costs. Meanwhile, the improving core profit QoQ is mostly attributable to the minimal US$3mn write‐off expenses on dry wells (vs. US$103mn in 4Q14) despite the smaller sales volume and the lower ASP. 2015‐16E NP maintained We see no earnings acceleration in 2Q15E given the expected flat sales volume (with the volume resumption from Contract 4 to be offset by the lower gas volume from the 13‐day planned shutdown in Myanmar fields). We maintain our 2015‐16E NP of Bt30.3bn and Bt38.5bn, respectively, calling 34% CAGR from its low base in 2014 (due to the huge impairment loss). Meanwhile, its 2015‐16E core profit is projected to drop 13% CAGR, mainly due to lower ASP to US$47.5‐52.6/boe following the de‐based oil price and the lag time of the declining gas price despite the growth cycle of its sales volume to 342‐343 kboe/d in the period. Maintain our cautious view on oil prices in 2015E We maintain our cautious view on oil prices in 2015E with a Dubai price assumption of US$50/bbl (YTD US$52/bbl). The supply glut should continue given the seasonal low crude demand in 2Q following the planned shutdowns of refineries (especially in Asia) and record‐high oil production by Saudi Arabia (to 10.3mbd in Mar‐2015). Moreover, supply would also be impacted by the lifting of sanctions on Iran’s oil exports should a comprehensive agreement between Iran and the six major powers on the Iranian nuclear program be reached by end‐Jun (after a nuclear deal framework was agreed upon at end‐Mar).

Expected to deliver Bt5.6bn NP in 1Q15E PTTEP’s 1Q15E earnings reflect its operation line with negligible non‐recurring items; NP is projected at Bt5.6bn (‐55% YoY, but reversing from a net loss in 4Q14) and core profit is projected at Bt6.4bn (‐49% YoY, +56% QoQ). The weak operation YoY is largely blamed on 1) the lower ASP to US$49/boe (‐24% YoY in line with declining liquid price); and 2) higher unit costs to US41.6/boe (+11% YoY with higher depreciation expenses as the main cause given the larger sales volume from Montara YoY and the higher provision on decommission costs). Meanwhile, the improving core profit QoQ is mostly attributable to the minimal US$3mn write‐off expenses on dry wells (vs. US$103mn in 4Q14) despite the lower sales volume to 326kboe/d (‐6% QoQ due to a smaller sales volume contribution from Montara and Contract 4, with the latter having a 16‐day planned shutdown linked to the field itself and to Erawan’s gas station with the gas pipeline connected to the field) and the lower ASP to US$49/boe (‐13% QoQ).
