PTTGC delivered soaring NP of Bt13.2bn in 1Q17 (+180% YoY, +35% QoQ), ahead of our forecast and the street forecast by 10%/13%, with the higher‐than‐expected adjusted EBITDA margin of olefins and derivatives business as the main deviation (35% vs. our forecast of 32%). Meanwhile, its core profit stood high at Bt12.5bn (+212% YoY, +13.5% QoQ), with aromatics and olefins as the main catalysts following their positive price effect, particularly in the case of BZ, butadiene, MEG and polyethylene prices (see figures 2,3), which helped offset the lower U‐rate of the olefins fleet to 95% (vs. 100% in 4Q16) given the planned shutdowns of Oleflex and MEG, as well as the lower U‐rate of the aromatics units to 78% (vs. 90% in 1Q16, and 82% in 4Q16) given the shutdown of some small units. At the same time, there was less momentum on its refinery’s performance in 1Q17, particularly QoQ, with a sustained high U‐rate at 102% (103% in 4Q16) and a firm accounting GRM of US$6.76/bbl (vs. US$6.7/bbl in 4Q16), with weakening market GRM offset by lower stock impact and hedging impact. Earnings estimates maintained Given that the 1Q17 core earnings represent 39% of our full‐year forecast to be followed by fading earnings momentum in 2Q17E with an expected back‐to‐normal price level of BZ and butadiene (vs. the abnormal high in 1Q17 due to tight supply from firm demand and the plant turnaround/disrupted harvesting yield of natural rubber) along with the company’s planned shutdown of its Olefin #2/1 (39 days in May‐ Jun) and Aromatics #2 (45 days in Jun‐Jul) as the main weakness, we maintain our core profit of Bt32.2bn in 2017E. Meanwhile, the first contribution of the asset injection from PTT is expected in 4Q17E as scheduled, which will be a source of upside risk to our 2017E earnings by 2% (note that we put its first full‐year contribution starting from 2018E onwards).
