Analyst Meeting/4Q14 Results Note
Ratchaburi Electricity Generating Holding
Overseas mega projects to boost RATCH's profit
RATCH
Rec. : BUY
RATCH is looking for new projects to boost its profit in the long run. It currently
has many projects waiting for approval e.g. coal-fired power plant projects in
Myanmar; these projects would give an upside on RATCH's earnings and fair
value. RATCH is another top pick of energy stocks.
 Marching forward on mega projects
According to the analyst meeting, RATCH is working on two coal-fired power
plants in Myanmar now, a 660 MW plant in Kengtung and a 2,640 MW plant
in Myeik (currently under the Burmese government's deliberation for the
MOA to be made). In addition, RATCH has planned to enter a joint venture
for a coal mine project in Indonesia. RATCH has been interested in the coalfired power business in Myanmar, Cambodia, and Vietnam; these projects
will ensure that RATCH have sufficient power and fuel throughout the
project and grant RATCH a long-term upside; this is not included in our
forecast yet.
 FY2015 profit to grow 10.3%yoy thanks to Hongsa plant
We estimate RATCH's FY2015 earnings to rebound by 10.3%yoy mainly
from 751.2 MW Hongsa plant (RATCH holding 40% stake). Phase 1 and
Phase 2 of Hongsa plant will start the commercial runs in June and
November 2015, while Phase 3 will start in March 2016. In the short term,
RATCH's 1Q15 profit is expected to revive from 4Q14 since every plant has
resumed working at their full capacity and no massive extraordinary
expense is likely to be booked like in 4Q14.

 BUY for upside from pending projects
FY2015 fair value is B68. We reiterate BUY as RATCH is a defensive play
with potential long-term growth and expected dividend yield of 4% p.a.
RATCH is the top pick among big-cap energy stocks.

 Marching forward on mega projects
According to the analyst meeting, RATCH is working on two projects in
Myanmar now: 1) a 660 MW plant in Kengtung currently under the final
negotiation before making the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA); and 2) a
2,640 MW plant in Myeik (RATCH holding 40% stake) currently under the
Burmese government's deliberation; the MOA is projected to be made in
May 2015.
In additional to these two projects, RATCH has planned to enter a joint
venture for a coal mine project in Indonesia with coal reserves of 100
million tons and 3-5 million tons/year production capacity; RATCH is
projected to hold 15-20% stake in this project and invest B2bn in it. Still,
this project needs to be approved by the Board of Directors first.
The company has been interested in the coal-fired power business because
it sees that coal demand would increase as more coal-fired power plants will
be opened in neighboring countries soon. RATCH has invested in many coalfired plants in Myanmar (Myeik and Kengtung), Cambodia (2,000 MW Koh
Kong plant; RATCH has already signed the agreement with allies in
Cambodia and Thailand in February 2014), and Vietnam (RATCH has
already signed the joint venture concession with the Vietnamese
government for a 1,200 MW plant, currently under a feasibility study; the
construction will start in 2017); these projects ensure RATCH will have
sufficient power and fuel throughout the project.
The company is currently signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU)
with PTT for a construction of LNG terminal phase 3 with a production
capacity of 5 million tons/year feeding fuel to projects in the West through
Yadana and Yetagun pipelines. Initially, RATCH is projected to hold 20-30%
stake in this project. These will grant RATCH a long-term upside, which is
not included in our forecast yet.
 FY2015 profit to grow 10.3%yoy thanks to Hongsa plant
electricity usage and B510m impairment loss from 27.6 MW Starfish Hill
(RATCH holding 80% stake). Consequently, RATCH's FY2014 net profit was
B6.3bn, contracting 20.1%yoy.
Nevertheless, we estimate FY2015 earnings to rebound by 10.3%yoy mainly
from 751.2 MW Hongsa plant (RATCH holding 40% stake). Phase 1 and
Phase 2 of Hongsa plant will start the commercial runs in June and
November 2015, while Phase 3 will start in March 2016. In the short term,
1Q15 profit is expected to revive from 4Q14 since every plant has resumed
working at their full capacity and no massive extraordinary expense is likely
to be booked like in 4Q14.
