The best low‐season performance ever ERW reported a net profit at Bt57mn, +239%YoY on RevPAR that grew across the board. The result was 78% above our forecast and the street due mainly to lower costs than forecast. We still see ERW as benefitting the most from rising tourism in Thailand. We maintain our Buy recommendation and keep it as our top pick. RevPAR grew in all segments RevPAR of Luxury, Midscale, and Economy (Ibis) hotels grew 4%YoY, 10%YoY and 4%YoY, respectively. The growth was driven mainly by higher room rates while the occupancy rate showed a mixed result (flat for Luxury, +5% for Midscale, and ‐1% for Ibis). Phuket saw the highest revenue growth at 17%YoY from the continued turnaround of Russian tourists. Food and Beverage revenue increased by 6%YoY, which helped improve the overall EBITDA margin from 22.6% in 2Q16 to 25.5%. Still double‐digit growth for Hop Inn RevPAR of Hop Inn (excluding the Philippines branch) continued to grow at double‐digit rates, increasing by 19%YoY this quarter. The number of rooms had expanded from 1,483 rooms last year to 2,028 rooms as of 2Q17. The occupancy rate grew impressively by 8% to 74% while room rates increased 6%. We believe there is still a ways to go for Hop Inn as its normal occupancy rate should rise to at least 80%. Maintain Buy Upside is still narrowing as the market continues to respond to the solid improvement of the company. However, there is still some expansion that we have not included in our model, i.e., 1) a greater number of Hop Inns next year and 2) four new hotels in Bangkok that will start operating from 2018 onwards. We, hence, maintain our Buy recommendation with the 17E TP of Bt6.20, still with 17% upside.
