The estimated wind utilisation hours for 1Q18 was up by 40.4% YoY to 566 hours. We expect the Company's accumulated wind power generation growth for 2018 to be around 19.3% on a YoY basis. The Company's profit attributable to owners of the parent in 2017 surged 267.1% YoY to RMB728 million, in line with our expectations. The significant profit increase was primarily contributed by the enhancement of utilisation hours, which led to the 23.2% YoY increase in electricity sales revenue. Target capacity additions for 2018 is set at 500MW-700MW, which we think is still acceptable given the recent policy changes and the Company's current total capacity scale. Further revise up wind utilisation assumptions for 2018/2019/2020 to 2,061 hrs/2,118 hrs/2,152 hrs, respectively. We expect to see gradual recovery in utilisation performance in southwest areas. Also, the utilisation hours for Inner Mongolia and Gansu will further benefit from the commencement of inter-provincial UHV transmission lines. Maintain "Accumulate" rating but raise TP from HK$1.22 to HK$1.65 for DTR. We revise up our EPS forecasts to RMB0.185/RMB0.217/RMB0.240 for 2018/2019/2020 on the estimates of higher total power generation and lower operating expenses. We expect the Company's earnings growth in 2018 to notably outperform its peers considering its capacity layout in the "three norths" areas. 大唐新能源 2018 年 1 季度风电发电量同比增长 46.4% 至 4,892 吉瓦时 2018 年 1 季度测 算的利用小时数同比升 40.4% 至 566 小时 我们预计公司 2018 年累计风电发电量将同比 上升约 19.3% 公司 2017 年归母净利润同比大幅上涨 267.1% 至人民币 7.28 亿元, 符合我们预期 利润的 显著增长主要是由于利用小时的提升, 致使售电收入同比增加 23.2% 公司 2018 年的新增 装机目标为 500 兆瓦 -700 兆瓦, 考虑到近期的一些政策变化以及公司目前的总装机规模, 我们认为该数字是可接受的 将 2018/2019/2020 年风电利用小时预测分别进一步上调至 2,061 小时 /2,118 小时 /2,152 小时 我们预计公司西南地区的利用小时数表现将出现逐步的回升 另外, 公司位于内蒙 古以及甘肃地区的利用小时也将继续受益于跨省特高压线路的投运 维持 收集 评级并将大唐新能源的目标价从 1.22 港元上调至 1.65 港元 由于更高的总发 电量和更低的经营费用预测, 我们将 2018/2019/2020 年每股盈利预测分别上调至人民币 0.185 元 /0.217 元 /0.240 元 考虑到公司在 三北 地区的装机布局, 我们认为其 2018 年的 盈利增速可能会明显高于同业 Rating: Jake Wang 汪昌江 (86755) 2397 6675 wangchangjiang@gtjas.com Accumulate Maintained 评级 : 收集 ( 维持 ) 6-18m TP 目标价 : HK$1.65 Revised from 原目标价 : HK$1.22 Share price 股价 : Stock performance 股价表现 [Table_PriceChange] Change in Share Price 股价变动 Abs. % 绝对变动 % Rel. % to HS Index 相对恒指变动 % Avg. share price(hk$) 平均股价 ( 港元 ) 1 M 1 个月 3 M 3 个月 HK$1.360 1 Y 1 年 38.8 34.7 70.7 43.3 40.7 46.8 1.2 1.0 0.9 [Table_ Year End Turnover Net Profit EPS EPS PER BPS PBR DPS Yield ROE 年结收入股东净利每股净利每股净利变动市盈率每股净资产市净率每股股息股息率净资产收益率 12/31 (RMB m) (RMB m) (RMB) ( %) (x) (RMB) (x) (RMB) (%) (%) 2016A 5,786 198 0.027 1,345.5 44.7 1.496 0.8 0.012 1.0 1.8 2017A 7,104 728 0.084 208.6 13.5 1.566 0.7 0.018 1.6 6.5 2018F 8,330 1,459 0.185 119.5 6.0 1.734 0.6 0.037 3.4 12.2 2019F 8,938 1,697 0.217 17.8 5.1 1.915 0.6 0.043 3.9 12.8 2020F 9,573 1,861 0.240 10.3 4.6 2.127 0.5 0.048 4.4 12.7 [Table_BaseData] Shares in issue (m) 总股数 (m) 7,273.7 Major shareholder 大股东 China Datang Corp Ltd. 65.6% Market cap.

Datang Renewable's ( DTR or the Company ) wind power generation in 1Q18 increased 46.4% YoY to 4,892GWh. The estimated wind utilisation hours for 1Q18 was up by 40.4% YoY to 566 hours (403 hours for 1Q17). The Company s capacity weighted average wind speed increased 6.8% YoY to 5.91m/s for 1Q18 and overall wind conditions were better than last year. In addition, due to the improvement in wind curtailment rate and capacity increase, regional cumulative wind power generation for Jilin, Gansu and Shanxi recorded sharp YoY increase (up by 103.0%, 61.3% and 100.8%, respectively). We think the sharp increase in wind power generation for 1Q18 was partly due to better wind resources and the poor base last year. Subsequent YoY growth rate for the Company's wind power generation in 2018 might be lower compared with the first quarter, and we currently assume that accumulated wind power generation growth for 2018 will be around 19.3% on a YoY basis. The Company's profit attributable to owners of the parent in 2017 surged 267.1% YoY to RMB728 million, in line with our expectation. The significant profit increase was primarily contributed by the enhancement of utilisation hours, which led to the 23.2% YoY increase in electricity sales revenue. Operating expenses increased 15.0% YoY because of higher D&A cost incurred by capacity increase, as well as the provision of impairment losses from the relocation of Long Gan Lake wind power project. Net finance expense was up by 7.8% YoY, mainly due to the increase in interest bearing bank loans and other loans. In 2017 the Company added 301.5MW of wind capacity and 27.0MW of solar capacity, lower than the previous guidance of 500.0MW, as some of the Company's constructions from projects in the red alert areas stagnated due to policy effects. We expect these projects to gradually commence operations during 2018 and 2019 given that the development restrictions for new projects in wind curtailed areas were partially lifted.

The management expects the percentage of direct power sales to slightly increase during 2018, but the discount will narrow as the percentage of direct power supply for major consumers (which is entitled to a larger discount) remains basically flat YoY. 2) Target capacity additions for 2018 is set at 500MW-700MW, including approximately 90MW solar capacity. DTR is actively seeking high-quality PV projects (both centralized and distributed). Meanwhile, the Company plans to accelerate the development of distributed and off-shore wind power projects to diversify its power generating assets. 3) The Company's wind curtailment rate for 2017 decreased by 5.9 ppt YoY to 15.28%. Considering the increase of inter-provincial power transmission in the "three norths" areas, the management expects the Company's 2018 wind curtailment rate to further decrease to 10.0% or below. The corresponding wind utilisation is expected to be 2,000 hours. 4) As at 2017 end, the Company's accounts receivables that relate to renewable energy subsidies amounted to RMB3.8 bn. Most of the receivables were from the 6 th and 7 th batch of government grants. The collection of receivables was basically in line with the Company's expectation, and the management believes that the situation will continue to improve in 1H18. 5) The Company's estimated capital expenditure for 2018 is between RMB7.0 billion-rmb8.0 billion, with an average cost of borrowing of around 4.5%-4.6%. The impairment provision for wind power projects was non-recurring and the Company's overall financial situation remains healthy. Key adjustments for DTR 1) Revise newly installed wind capacity assumptions to 0.6GW/0.7GW/0.8GW for 2018/2019/2020, respectively to match the Company's guidance. Although the Company's newly installed capacity guidance for 2018 has been revised down from 1.0GW to 500MW-700MW, we think the capacity addition is still acceptable given recent policy changes and the Company's current total capacity scale. The Company had about 2,060MW capacity under construction as at the end of 2017; projects that had been held back by policy restrictions are likely to be operational within 2018. For the majority of the rest, however, we expect those projects to commence operation no earlier than 1Q19 considering the relatively long construction cycle in forest lands and mountainous regions. 2) Further revise up wind utilisation assumptions for 2018/2019/2020 to 2,061 hrs/2,118 hrs/2,152 hrs, respectively. Wind curtailment rate forecasts have been revised down to 10.0%/7.5%/6.0%, respectively. The Company's wind utilisation performance for the southwest areas in 2017 (as well as 1Q18) was slightly lower than expected due to the temporary delay in the connection between regional power grids and the change in capacity scope. We expect to see a gradual recovery in the utilisation performance for these areas during 2018. Also, the utilisation hours for Inner Mongolia and Gansu will further benefit from the commencement of inter-provincial UHV transmission lines, which helps to increase the Company's overall wind utilisation.

3) Revise down average tariff (VAT incl.) estimates for 2018/2019/2020 to RMB555/RMB542/RMB532 per MWh, respectively. Benchmark tariff for new wind farm projects after 2018 will constantly trend down towards grid parity. In addition, DTR is planning to re-initiate project development in the "three norths" areas (with lower benchmark tariff). But we don't expect the Company's electricity sales revenue to be significantly affected as the decrease in average tariff will be compensated by higher power sold. 4) Revise up net finance expense estimates for 2018/2019/2020 by 3.6%/3.9%/4.4% to reflect the slight increase in the Company's cost of borrowing. We now assume the Company's average borrowing rate for 2018/2019/2020 to be 4.55%/4.60%/4.65%, respectively. We maintain Accumulate rating and revise up TP to HK$1.65 for DTR. 2018/2019/2020 EPS forecasts have been revised up by 18.8%/9.5%/25.5% to RMB0.185/RMB0.217/RMB0.240, respectively, mainly due to: 1) higher power generation forecasts, and 2) lower operating expenses forecasts. DTR's 1Q18 power generation indicated sound momentum of rapid growth. As the wind curtailment situation in the three norths areas continues to alleviate, the Company s inferior capacity layout in earlier years would gradually convert to an advantage for future profit growth, and we expect the Company's earnings growth in 2018 to notably outperform its peers. TP is revised up from HK$1.22 to HK$1.65 to reflect the adjustments in our EPS forecasts, which represents 7.2x/6.1x/5.6x 2018/2019/2020 PER and 0.8x/0.7x/0.6x 2018/2019/2020 PBR.
