Despite the possible downward revision on the 2016‐18E earnings estimates, its earnings prospects are on an accelerating trend in the years ahead, with the contribution ramp up from the newly transferred power assets as the growth catalyst; thus, we maintain our Buy rating, with its share price having largely priced in the two weak operation years in 2015‐ 16E, causing it to trade at 0.08x 2017E PBV/ROE (vs. peers’ average of 0.12x). Meanwhile, its potential capacity expansion beyond the projects in the pipeline (“To do list” and “Wish list” projects) is on the upside, facilitated by the recent US$‐debentures issuance. Reported stronger NP in 3Q16 despite the forex loss impact

Undemanding valuation with negative pressure largely priced in; potential capacity expansion on the upside
EDL‐Gen reported 3Q16 NP of 267,922mn kip (‐2% YoY, +52% QoQ), despite the forex loss of 20,202mn kip in the quarter. At the same time, it posted a stronger core profit of 288,124mn kip in 3Q16 (+2.5% YoY, +77% QoQ), with the improving performance at the wholly‐owned HPPs and IPPs as the main catalyst QoQ following the higher power generation to 863.5GWh (+42.5% QoQ) and to 622.8GWh on an equity basis (+27% QoQ), respectively. Note that HPPs were the major profit contributor in 3Q16, accounting for 71% of total core profit (approximately 203,224mn kip), with the rest from IPPs (84,900mn kip). Possible downside risk on 2016E NP forecast Given that the 9M16 core profit and NP both accounted for 67% of our full‐year forecasts, we see possible downside risk on the 2016E earnings estimates, with the 9M16 power generation at both HPPs and IPPs lagging behind the plan by 13% and 11%, respectively, due to unfavorable weather conditions and conservative water management, along with seasonally low electricity output in 4Q. We will also revisit our 2017‐18E earnings forecasts, with a review of each project’s power generation, as well as the scheduled kick‐off of contributions from new power assets and larger finance costs to reflect the new US$312mn debentures issued in Sept‐2016. Meanwhile, the rollover of the TP to 2017E is underway.
