That should lead admission revenue to grow over 25% yoy in the first two months of 4Q18. We foresee double-digit ticket sales growth in December driven by Aquaman and Bumblebee. Thai movies should Kitti PITAKTEERABANDIT deliver over Bt100m revenue this month led by Hor Taew Tak (Bt20m so 662 - 659 7000 ext 5008 far), Khun Bunlue, and Sing Su, vs a low base last year. Ticket sales [email protected] COMPANY RESEARCH | should grow qoq and yoy in 4Q18F. Concession revenue should grow slower than ticket sales due to fewer sales of bucket sets related to superhero movie in November. Advertising sales should drop yoy as two Key Data out of three contracts is still under negotiation, while naming sponsor 12-mth High/Low (Bt) 30.5 / 21.0 revenue at Siam Paragon should drop qoq due to renovations. We expect Market Cap (Btm/US$m) 20,398.4 / 621.7 4Q18F earnings to grow qoq and turnaround from core loss in 4Q17. 3m Avg. Turnover (Btm/US$m) 29.7 / 0.9 Positive outlook for 2019 on better lineup and recovering ad sales Free Float (%) 63.7 FY18F earnings is intact as weaker-than-expected advertising sales and Issued Shares (m shares) 895 margins should be offset by lower-than-expected SG&A/Sales. We Major Shareholders: trimmed FY19F/20F profit by 4%/7% after imputing lower advertising - POOLVARALUK VICHA 29.6 sales. However, it should still grow 8% yoy in FY19F (-6% in 9M18) led by - NORTRUST NOMINEES LTD 5.8 - SOUTH EAST ASIA UK 5.2 50 additional screens (from 767), rising cinema ADEX and naming sponsors at Icon Siam screens, and higher utilization as MAJOR plans to Share Price Performance sell more ad space through media agencies and tap tier-2 advertisers with more screens upcountry. We expect ticket sales to grow 5% yoy in FY19F supported by better movie line-up (see p.2) and more MPIC movies (12 vs 6 in FY18), with con-to-box ratio flat yoy at 36%. GPM should improve yoy led by recovering advertising revenue while CAPEX should continue to drop, from Bt6.6m per screen to Bt5.6m. OUTPERFORM, Bt28 TP; strong earnings growth from 4Q18F We remain positive on MAJOR but trimmed DCF-based TP to Bt28. The stock is trading at 19x FY19F PE, a discount to its 5-year average multiple, but earnings growth will accelerate to 15% in FY19F vs 2% p.a. in the last five years. We recommend to accumulate the stock to capture strong box-office and concession revenues from 4Q18F. Key risks are weaker-than-expected ADEX and Thai movie revenues.
