1Q15 Result Notes
Jasmine International
Insignificant normalized profit for the remainder of the 2014. SELL
JAS
Rec. : SELL
JAS's normalized profit is projected to make the year's low in 2Q15 and rebound slightly in
2H15 but drop from 3Q14-4Q14 though. The new 4G network business (if JAS wins the
bid) may result in down revision of earnings forecast and fair value. We reiterate SELL.
 JASIF boosts 1Q15 profit significantly, but weaker than expected
JAS's 1Q15 net profit made a record high of B12.8bn owing to B12bn
extraordinary profit from sales of assets to JASIF (40% lower than expected).
Additional profit was partially negated as JAS set a provision for the cost of asset
rental in the future (see page 2). Excluding extraordinary items, JAS's 1Q15
normalized profit was B783m, falling 18.3%qoq and 8.3%yoy. The number of
internet subscribers increased from 4Q14 by 80,000 (up 4.8%qoq, higher than
usual increase of 60,000 subscribers/quarter), boosting service revenue by
2.8%qoq. However, this was negated by cost of asset rental from JASIF, thus
slashing gross profit margin from 62.7% in 4Q14 to 52.1% in 1Q15. This is
compensated by non-operating income, e.g. profit sharing from JASIF (33.33%),
income from asset management in JASIF, and interest income that increased
from 4Q14 by B230m.
 Normalized profit to hit bottom in 2Q15, to rise slightly in 2H15
Current Price (B): 5.50
Target Price (B): 6.30

CG Score: NR.
Technical Chart
Although 1Q15 normalized profit made up 30.2% of the full-year forecast, 2Q15
normalized profit is projected to drop from 1Q15 and make a year's low since JAS
would fully recognize cost of asset rental from JASIF for the first quarter (starting
from February 10), while a growth in the number of subscribers would slow down
after ADVANC officially enters the internet competition. Then, JAS's normalized
profit is expected to rebound slightly in 2H15 solely because of growing number
of subscribers. We maintain our FY2015 normalized profit forecast at B2.7bn,
falling 24.6%yoy. Since JAS's extraordinary profit was lower than expected, we
revise down our earnings forecast, projecting JAS's net profit to skyrocket
440%yoy to B14.3bn in 2015, but then shrink 72%yoy in 2016.
 4G investment has downside. SELL
Investors are probably speculating on JAS to enjoy free JAS-W3 with the
theoretical value of B1.29 before the XW date of June 25 (not included in the fair
value). Although the fair value implies 14.9% upside, if JAS wins the 4G spectrum
bid in late 2015, its new 4G network business would face loss for at least two or
three years, depressing JAS's earnings and fair value. We reiterate SELL.

 JASIF boosts 1Q15 profit significantly, but weaker than expected
JAS's 1Q15 net profit made a record high of B12.8bn owing to B12bn
extraordinary profit from sales of optical fiber cable to JASIF of approximately
815,000 core kilometers out of 980,000 core kilometers was recognized; transfer
of 800,000 core kilometers was booked on the contract date, while another
15,000 core kilometers is a part of 180,000 core kilometers of optical fiber cable
which will be gradually transferred for over two years. The aforementioned
extraordinary profit was 40% lower than expected (JAS set a provision for the 11year rental agreement valued B15.8bn which will be subtracted from JAS's
earnings; table of JAS's actual extraordinary profit versus our extraordinary profit
under our assumption is shown below).

Excluding the aforementioned extraordinary profit, JAS's 1Q15 normalized profit
was B783m, falling 18.3%qoq and 8.3%yoy. The number of internet subscribers
increased from 4Q14 by 80,000 (higher than usual increase of 60,000
subscribers/quarter), boosting service revenue by 2.8%qoq. However, this was
negated by additional expenses after establishment of JASIF since cost of asset
rental was booked for the first quarter, thus slashing gross profit margin from
62.7% in 4Q14 to 52.1% in 1Q15. This is compensated by non-operating income,
e.g. profit sharing from JASIF (33.33%), income from asset management in
JASIF, and interest income that increased from 4Q14 by B230m.
 Normalized profit to hit bottom in 2Q15, to rise slightly in 2H15
Although improvement in the core business was seen in 1Q15 (e.g. the number of
internet subscribers increased more than usual), resulting in 1Q15 normalized
profit making up 30.2% of the full-year forecast, 2Q15 normalized profit is
projected to drop from 1Q15 and make a year's low since JAS would fully
recognize cost of asset rental from JASIF for the first quarter (starting from
February 10), while a growth in the number of subscribers would slow down after
ADVANC officially enters the internet competition. Then, JAS's normalized profit is
expected to rebound slightly in 2H15 as the number of subscribers would still
grow despite fiercer competition. We maintain our FY2015 normalized profit
forecast at B2.7bn, falling 24.6%yoy.
Since JAS's extraordinary profit from sales of assets to JASIF was lower than
expected (see the table above), we revise down our FY2015-2017 earnings
forecast. Under the new projection, JAS's net profit is estimated to skyrocket
440%yoy to B14.3bn in 2015, but then shrink 72%yoy in 2016.
 4G investment has downside. SELL
Investors are probably speculating on JAS to enjoy free JAS-W3 with the
theoretical value of B1.29 before the XW date of June 25 (not included in the fair
value). Although the fair value implies 14.9% upside, if JAS wins the 4G spectrum
bid in late 2015, its new 4G network business would face loss for at least two or
three years, depressing JAS's earnings and fair value. We reiterate SELL.

1. As a result of fiercer competition, annual growth in
subscriber volume and ARPU may miss forecast.
2. There is still risk from legal issues: withdrawal of the
Supreme Court’s order to implement the rehabilitation
plan, thus giving the rights for JAS’s creditors to claim for
debt repayment (the Supreme Court has withdrawn the
order already, so creditor can demand debt payment any
time), or TT&T’s lawsuit against JAS, demanding JAS to
transfer shares in TTTBB back to TT&T (currently under
the court’s deliberation; this takes more than five years
before the conclusion can be made).
3. JAS’s new business (mobile service) may face loss.
