MCOT posted a net loss of Bt65m in 2Q16, improving slightly from Rank Digital TV channels Jun 16 1Q16’s net loss of Bt147m but worse than 2Q15 which saw net profit of Bt29m. However, the loss amount in 2Q16 was lesser than market expectation. Sales in 2Q16 decreased TVR 15% yoy as MCOT lost its competitiveness in TV channels and economic recovery remains 1 Channel 7 (Analog &HD) 2.56 slow, but increased 8% qoq from the seasonal effect. Note that advertising sales from TV (which accounted for 38% of total sales in 2Q16) dropped 32% yoy but increased 15% qoq. 2 Channel 3 (Analog &HD) 1.45 Gross margin declined from 32% in 2Q15 to 18% in 2Q16 but improved from 8% in 1Q16. Nevertheless, SG&A expense to sales in 2Q16 was 27%, down from 32% in 1Q16. 3 WORK 0.85 STOCK IMPACT 4 MONO 29 0.53 Large losses expected for 2016. Although 3Q16 financial performance would improve 5 ONE 0.42 qoq thanks to the seasonal effect and better economic situation, we think MCOT could 6 Channel 8 0.42 incur a large loss on a full-year basis owing to bad results in 1H16, which was a Bt212m net loss. 7 Channel 3 SD 0.27 Maintain the view that TV business is not strong. TV rating of Channel 9 (analogue and 8 Thairath TV 0.23 HD) in Jun 16 was 0.187 which was about the same in Mar 16 but declined sharply from 0.295 in Jun 15. In addition, Channel 9 (analogue and HD) has lost its 8th position in ratings 9 TRUE4U 0.20 among 24 digital TV channels in Mar 16 and fallen to 10th in Jun 16. 10 Channel 9 (Analog &HD) 0.19 Share price has jumped 92%ytd on speculations of a large compensation for Source, MCOT, Nielsen returning the 60MHz spectrum for 4G licence bidding. Although MCOT could possibly incur a large loss for 2016, its share price has been performing very well, having jumped 92% ytd as investors are expecting MCOT to receive a large compensation on returning the 60MHz spectrum for 4G licence bidding. However, we maintain the view that the benefit of this compensation on bottom-line is still unclear (previously mentioned in our report published on 21 Jan 16). This is because management revealed that the appraisal value of these 4G licenses has to be done by a third-party organisation while the compensation amount and conditions to MCOT are under negotiation. Furthermore, from management’s perspective, MCOT will not return this incremental income to shareholders via special dividend but instead use it to invest more in media content, IT systems, etc to improve business competitiveness which should add company value in the future. In a very optimistic case, we think the compensation amount may be Bt60b or equivalent to Bt5.8/share under our assumption that all three licences (20MHz for each licence) are worth an equal Bt40b each and MCOT gains half of the licence value as compensation and recognises the compensation by spreading it equally over 15 years. EARNINGS REVISION/RISK No significant change in earnings projection. VALUATION/RECOMMENDATION We maintain SELL with 2017 target price at Bt10.60, based on 1x 2017F P/B. We think all good news has already been priced in. SHARE PRICE CATALYST New source of revenue.
