Equity 2 Apr 2018 HOLD (Upgrade from FULLY VALUED) Last Traded Price ( 30 Mar 2018): Bt44.50 (SET : 1,776.26) Price Target 12-mth: Bt46.00 (3% upside) (Prev Bt44.30) Analyst Wasu MATTANAPOTCHANART +66 2857 7826 wasum@th.dbs.com What s New 1Q18F core earnings to jump over 200% y-o-y Raise FY18F earnings by 95% Raise TP by 3% to Bt46.00 Price Relative TOT deal coming soon Upgrade to HOLD. DTAC s share price has declined by 11% since we downgraded the stock to FULLY VALUED on 31 Jan 2018. As the share price now has 2% upside to our new TP of Bt46.00, we upgrade our call to HOLD. 4Q18F core earnings are expected to jump over 200% y-o-y mainly due to lower costs. Also, we raise FY18F earnings by 95% to reflect the delay of the 2.3GHz deal with TOT, which should be signed within 2Q18. 1Q18F core earnings to jump over 200% y-o-y. We forecast 1Q18F core earnings of Bt886m (+255% y-o-y, +65% q-o-q) on the back of Bt16.4bn service income ex. IC (+1% y-o-y and q-oq). The surge in the bottom line is expected to be supported by lower handset losses (1Q17: Bt959m vs 1Q18F: Bt317m) and lower regulatory fee (1Q17: 15.8% vs 1Q18F: 11.7%). Despite TRUE s aggressiveness and ADVANC s renewed handset campaign for prepaid subscribers, DTAC remains focused solely on offering discounted handsets for postpaid clients.

We now expect DTAC to sign the 2.3GHz capacity deal with TOT by June and start incurring expenses (Bt4.5bn p.a.) in 3Q18, instead of 2Q18. This leads to a 95% increase in our FY18F earnings to Bt2.2bn (+8% y-o-y). The Attorney General will do a final review of the TOT deal, and the firm expects to sign the contract soon. Valuation: We have a TP of Bt46.00, based on DCF valuation and assuming 2% terminal growth and 8.1% WACC; the higher TP is due to the absence of investments in tower and fibre JV with CAT. Key Risks to Our View: All of DTAC s concessions will expire in September 2018. Failure to win the bandwidth back (in terms of licences) will result in a substantial drop in service quality.

CRITICAL DATA POINTS TO WATCH Critical Factors Valuation takes into account the need for new licences in 2018. All of DTAC s concessions (55MHz) will expire in September 2018. The 5MHz (out of 10MHz) bandwidth under the 850MHz spectrum will likely be returned to the State Railway of Thailand, while the other 5MHz bandwidth should be up for bidding. The 45MHz under the 1.8GHz spectrum should be up for bidding in mid-2018. We expect DTAC to win one 1.8GHz licence (15MHz bandwidth) at Bt40bn and one 850MHz licence (5MHz bandwidth) at Bt38bn. Service Revenue Sale of Handsets and Handset Margin Better prepared financially for the next auction. DTAC is confident of winning at least one licence in the next 1.8GHz auction. The strain on its financials will be lower, as it did not win any new licences in the recent two auctions, and it will no longer have the high revenue-sharing scheme in its portfolio after the expiry of all of its concessions. On 3 February 2016, the dividend payout was cut from 80% to 50%. Still committed to providing services in Thailand. DTAC plans to spend around Bt18-20bn capex per year on the 3G/4G network. It now has 3G coverage of 98% of the population and nationwide 4G coverage (every district of Thailand). Of the total 50MHz on hand, 20MHz from 2.1GHz (5MHz) and 1.8GHz (15MHz) spectra will be used for 4G services. Other Operating Income EBITDA Margins Source: Company, DBSVTH Page 3
Balance Sheet: We expect DTAC s net gearing ratio to rise from 0.8x in 2017 to 1.2x in FY18F, assuming that the firm will win the 1.8GHz licence (15MHz bandwidth) at Bt40bn and 850MHz licence (5MHz) at Bt38bn. Leverage & Asset Turnover (x) Share Price Drivers: Revenue growth and stable market share. Key Risks: Inability to win new licences in 2018. All of DTAC s concessions will expire Sep 2018. Failure to win the bandwidth back (in terms of licences) will result in a substantial drop in service quality. Capital Expenditure Company Background DTAC is a cellular operator in Thailand with a subscriber market share of 25%, on par with TRUE s but behind ADVANC s 49%.
