LT growth platform intact We maintain our Outperform rating on PTTGC, with an upward revision made to its earnings and TP (to Bt78/share) to reflect the recent announcement of an asset injection from PTT. As it is targeted as the group’s petrochemical flagship, this strategic move will help to broaden and diversify PTTGC’s product portfolio to a full value chain including performance chemicals, leading to value enhancement in the long run. Cluster of asset injections from PTT at a justified price PTTGC has entered into a deal for an asset injection from PTT with target companies engaging in the propylene and biochemical value chain, as well as related service business, for the total amount of Bt26.3bn (including rights and obligations under the Shareholder Agreements and Loan Agreements) but not more than Bt26.8bn at the maximum. The purchase price at each target company looks justified at the benchmark of EV/EBITDA below 6x and PBV ranging between 0.8‐ 1.4x (see Figure 2). This transaction has to be approved by a resolution at the shareholders’ meeting (in Apr‐2017) with no less than three‐ quarters of the votes of non‐PTT shareholders. The transaction is targeted to be completed by Oct‐2017 after the key Condition Precedents are passed. Targeted as the group’s petrochemical flagship This strategic move is aimed at strengthening PTTGC’s position as a world‐scale petrochemical player with a full‐range product portfolio covering PE, PP, and biochemical, as well as increasing the opportunities for integration with value‐added downstream products in growing sectors, including automotive, smart electronics, packaging, and construction material. Given this growth platform, PTTGC is well positioned as the group’s petrochemical flagship. Upward revision on earnings and TP We revise up our 2017‐18E earnings forecasts by 4%/14%, to reflect 1) the incorporation of the recurring benefits from Project Max and other initiatives at Bt2.8‐3.0bn a year in the period; 2) the inclusion of a profit contribution of Bt2.3bn a year from the asset injection with the first full‐ year realization expected in 2018E with HMC as the major contributor; and 3) the fine‐tuning of PE spreads in 2017E to U$$650‐680/ton (vs. US$700‐720/ton earlier). We also raised our 2017E TP to Bt78/share (vs. Bt71 earlier), with the asset injection to add Bt6.5 incremental value (see Figure 3); our estimates mainly focus on HMC (continuing solid performance) and PTTAC (improving performance likely in line with the acrylonitrile price moving from the bottom to mid‐price cycle).
