Thailand’s EEC Plays
► EEC to be prime driver for Thailand’s economic growth in the next ten years under ‘Thailand 4.0’ economic development model.
► Government plans to invest at least Bt1.5tn in EEC during 2017-2021 in three eastern provinces, Chonburi, Rayong and Chachoengsao, with combined area of 13,285 square kilometers.
► A new city for the special economic zone is to be established for ten target industries with linking transportation networks.
► EEC offers the most-enticing-ever investment incentives.
► Eastern Special Economic Zone Act, which supersedes more than 100 laws to facilitate FDI, to be enacted in September and implemented in October 2017.
► Notable beneficiaries: AMATA, WIIK, ETE and AOT.
The Thai junta government aims to create the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) under its ‘Thailand 4.0’ economic development model as the prime driver for the country’s economic growth, at least over the next ten years, and as a world class industrial zone. In the first five years (2017-2021), the government plans to invest at least Bt1.5tn in industrial infrastructure under a public-private-participation scheme, which consists of 15 crucial projects, linking with transportation networks in three eastern provinces, Chonburi, Rayong and Chachoengsao, with a combined area of 13,285 square kilometers. These three provinces will be developed into a new city for a special economic zone for ten target industries.
The EEC is actually the enhancement of the highly successful Eastern Seaboard
Development Program (ESP) which was launched in 1982 under Gen Prem Tinsulanon’s
administration. The ESP had established Thailand as one of the top regional
powerhouses of manufacturing and trade for more than 30 years and brought about
average economic growth of 7.2% per year during the first twenty years (1982-2002
excluding 1997 and 1998 recession years of the Asian financial crisis, but if we include
1997 and 1998, the average growth rate was 6.2% per year). Thailand’s average annual
growth declined to 4.8% during 1999-2008 and 3.1% during 2009-2016. To reignite the
country’s growth engine, the junta has come up with the ‘Thailand 4.0’ economic model,
with EEC as part of it, and expects the scheme to bring back annual economic growth of
5.0%, create at least 100,000 jobs and attract 10mn more tourist arrivals each year.

The junta has opted to enacting the Eastern Special Economic Zone Act (EEC Act) to
ensure that elected and future governments will be bound by the legislation, which
contains detailed plans, to carry on the entire project and cannot be arbitrarily modified or
changed with any ill intention as they have to obtain approval from the parliament. As
each article of this law is empowered to supersede more than 100 Thai laws and
regulations to facilitate foreign investment with special privileges in the EEC, it will take 2-
3 months for the Council of State to review and amend the law after its second draft was
approved by the Cabinet in April. The government has scheduled the law to seek approval
from the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) in September before implementing it in
October 2017. As the law has not yet be in force, the government has invoked Section 44
of the interim charter to speed up investment in the EEC, temporarily superseding some
related laws and regulations, unlocking limits and streamlining procedures for investors
who want to start the projects right away. There have been many construction projects
involving facilities and structures in the EEC that have already started, so they will benefit
from the special law for the time being.

Aerospace and Aviation Center: U-Tapao
Among the 15 projects (see Figure 1), six will be carried out as pilot projects, namely (1)
U-Tapao International Airport, (2) Laem Chabang Port Phase 3, (3) high-speed train, (4)
dual-track rail systems, (5) 3 new S-curve industries, and (6) new cities.
U-Tapao Airport will link with Suvarnabhumi Airport and Don Muang Airport. These three
international airports will be linked by high-speed rail lines, making Thailand an
international aviation hub. Aerospace and aviation are among the advanced industries
that will be headquartered in the U-Tapao area. Thai Airways International has announced
its intention to build the region’s finest aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul facility in
the region. European aircraft maker Airbus in March this year signed an agreement to
invest in a joint aircraft-repair center with Thai Airways International.
Digital Park: Sri Racha
A digital park will be built on a 245-acre site in Sri Racha, Chonburi. The park will be the
center of the country’s digital industries, develop software and nurture start-ups. Leading
software and hardware developers like Facebook have expressed interest to set up firms
here, while the center for digital start-ups will be upgraded to cope with Thailand’s growing
digital industry.
Ten target industries
Under the Thailand 4.0 economic model, the government aims to take advantage of the
country’s bio-diversities and cultural pluralism to enhance competitiveness through
innovations and creativity in ten selective industries, which can be divided into two groups
- five existing and another five new industries.
The government plans to continue to focus on five existing industries that have future
growth opportunities (S-curve industries) and that Thailand already has deep foundations
and competitive advantage in the global markets. With high technology, extensive R&D
investment and government support, these industries can be upgraded to the next level
of industrialization. The five industries in this group are:
1. Automotive: To develop next-generation automobiles, i.e. electric vehicles
(EVs), automated vehicles (AVs) or autonomous vehicles.
2. Electrical and electronics: To move to the next level of the industry, namely
smart electronics, which are electronic devices connected to other devices
that can operate autonomously, through communication protocols such as
Bluetooth, WIFI, 4G, 5G, etc. They are electronic devices used in
smartphones, tablets, etc.
3. Tourism and healthcare: To develop into higher income generating services,
such as integrative healthcare, robotic operations, etc.
4. Agricultural and food: To move up to more sophisticated food processing
levels and biotechnology. 5. Petrochemicals: To move to higher petrochemical levels with high profit
margins.
The five new or future industries that will offer growth opportunities for Thailand (new S-
curve industries) and are suitable for the country to adopt and develop as key industries
in the future can be developed from the five existing leading industries of Thailand:
1. Industrial robotics and automation
2. Aviation and logistics
3. Digital industries
4. Biofuels and bio-chemicals
5. Medical & Wellness hub

Thailand 4.0 economic model
As mentioned earlier, the ESP brought success to Thailand for more than 30 years with
high growth during 1982-2002. Without this growth engine, Thailand’s economic growth
has come down below neighboring ASEAN countries and other developing nations. The
country has also fallen into at least three economic development traps, namely a middle
income trap, an inequality trap and an imbalance trap. As far as the middle-income trap
is concerned, Thailand has become stuck in between its low-wage competitors such as
Bangladesh, Myanmar and Cambodia that dominate labor-intensive industries and
higher-innovative, stronger capital-based competitors such as Singapore, South Korea
and Taiwan that dominate technology-intensive industries. Meanwhile, an inequality trap
refers to the economic structure that keeps people poor and destitute across generations.
An imbalance trap is the economic system that is characterized by disparities in several
dimensions economically or socially or environmentally between the rich and the poor,
urban and provincial, among economic sectors as well as imbalance in the aspects of
debt, savings and consumption.
Thailand 4.0 is aimed to overcome these traps through new growth engines with high
technology, innovation and knowledgeable society, economy and people, which will lead
to four ultimate results or goals; economic prosperity with sustainable growth, social well-
being, higher human values and environmental safety.
Thailand has gone through succeeding steps of economic, industrial and social
development from an agricultural society in the past to modern society at present as
follows.
Thailand 1.0: Emphasis was placed on increasing agricultural production
and trading agricultural products.
Thailand 2.0: Focused on light industries with low wages for import
substitution purpose following global industrialization trend.
Thailand 3.0: Emphasized heavy and more complex industries. Shifted to
export oriented purpose following globalization trend.
Thailand 4.0: Focus will be on value based economy with an emphasis on
research and development, innovation, science and technology, creative
thinking and digital economy.
Thailand 4.0 manifests in five deliberate policy directions:
Investment in human resources, including attracting talent from abroad.
Investment in enterprises, ranging from community enterprises to those
innovation driven, such as startups, SMEs, etc.
Investment in S-curve industries (see the first five targeted industries
above).
Investment in the core technologies for new S-curve industries (see the
latter five targeted industries above).
Investment in infrastructure, including industrial facilities and special
economic zones such as the EEC project, high-speed trains, mass rapid
transits, digital infrastructure.

Most-enticing-ever investment incentives
According to Thailand’s Board of Investment (BOI), those investing in EEC area will
enjoy special incentives that are highly competitive and considered ‘most enticing ever’
offered in Thailand. These include the following.
50% deduction on corporate income tax (CIT) for five years in addition to
a CIT exemption of 13 years.
Other incentives granted in line with the Competitive Enhancement Act,
which includes a maximum corporate income tax exemption of 15 years,
instead of the current maximum tax holidays of 8 years.
The government will provide other supports including eliminating barriers,
rules and regulations in order to generate real, high-value investments as
well as One Stop Service to facilitate investment in the area.

A maximum personal income tax (PIT) rate of 17% for management,
investors, experts of companies in target industries with HQ and facilities
situated in EEC.
A 5-year business visa.
A land lease for 50+49 years.
Trade using foreign currencies directly without having to convert into Thai
baht.
Government’s dedicated fund of Bt10bn to support investments in
research and technological development and innovation or specialized
personnel development in the target industry.
A 3-month public-private-partnership (PPP) procedure.
Looking for Improvement in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
The amount of inbound foreign direct investment to Thailand has diminished
continuously in recent years and averaged Bt25bn per month during 2014-2016.
Nevertheless, after the government began promoting the EEC development project and
accelerated infrastructure investment in 4Q16, inbound FDI has been on the rise and
exceeded Bt50bn per month in November 2016 and February 2017. From 2017 onwards,
the focus should be how much inbound FDI can be generated by the EEC
development program.

Stock recommendations
We classify beneficiaries of the EEC into two main groups. The first group is referred to
as companies that will benefit from infrastructure development for the EEC projects.
They comprise industrial estate developers, civil-work construction contractors, and
system/solution providers for electrical, computer and telecommunication systems. The
second group constitutes those companies in the government’s targeted industries
which will establish their facilities in the EEC. They will enjoy BOI’s super investment
incentives and the government’s other extensive support measures. At this juncture, we
can identify with confidence only three beneficiaries in the first group as these
companies have already revealed their intention to carry on projects involving the EEC.
They are Amata Corporation Pcl. (AMATA), Wiik & Hoeglund Pcl. (WIIK) and Eastern
Technical Engineering Pcl. (ETE). For the second group, we can only pick Airports of
Thailand Pcl. (AOT) as a clear beneficiary due to the company’s sole state-enterprise
status in the aviation industry.
AMATA (Bt17.00 BUY AWS TP Bt20.90) is among Thailand’s top industrial estate
developers. It has two of the largest industrial estates in two of the three EEC provinces,
Amata Nakorn in Chon Buri and Amata City in Rayong. The company will reap the benefits
from increased land sales, industrial facility construction and utility services (water supply,
power supply and other services). AMATA has 14,137 rais of land bank available to serve
its sales over the next 10 years. It aims to sell 1,000 rais each year in 2017 and 2018
following sales of only 617 rais in 2015 and 638 rais in 2016. Our forecast calls for its
earnings to surge 18% in 2017 and 17% in 2018.
WIIK (Bt5.00 BUY AWS TP Bt6.70) produces and distributes HDPE pipes and provides
water management services. The water-related industry is on an up-cycle in Thailand
with increasing requirements for hygienic standards. Specifically for EEC, by the year
2017 there will be 48 urgent water-related projects worth a total of Bt6.9bn, comprising
(1) reservoir, (2) water supply systems, and (3) water pipeline and drainage systems. We
expect earnings growth of 11% for 2017, accelerating to 15% for 2018, after robust
growth of 61% in 2016. WIIK offers a pleasing dividend yield of 4.7% in 2017.
ETE (Bt3.92 BUY AWS TP Bt6.20), a large-scale provider of electrical engineering and
telecom services, will benefit from ever-increasing demand for electrical power and
telecommunication in Thailand. Thailand’s demand for electricity is forecast to increase
at a strong compounded annual growth rate of 4.3% during 2015-36. The MEA and
Please see disclaimer on last page 8
Ministry of the Interior have joint plans to bring all power and telecom lines in Bangkok
underground with a total budget of Bt192bn (2016-25), further raising demand for
transmission lines. For its telecom services, all three major mobile phone operators,
ADVANC, TRUE and DTAC, are ETE’s clients. Together, they have earmarked more
than Bt160bn in telecom infrastructure for their 4G and internet data services. We expect
its net profit to grow a robust 343% this year and 30% in 2018. As ETE will go to wherever
there is business across the country, EEC will be its prime business target.
AOT (Bt42.50 BUY AWS TP Bt49.00) will benefit from EEC, as Thailand aims to
promote tourism and aviation industries through the revamping of U-Tapao Airport to be
linked with Suvarnabhumi Airport and Don Muang Airport. The government aims for the
country to be an international aviation hub. Aerospace and aviation are among the
advanced industries that will be headquartered in the U-Tapao area. Thai International
Airways announced its intention to build the region’s finest aircraft maintenance, repair
and overhaul facility in the region. Meanwhile, European aircraft maker Airbus signed an
agreement to invest in a joint aircraft-repair center with Thai Airways International in
March this year. We valued AOT at Bt49.00 based on DCF valuation, to be the proxy of
the tourism and aviation sectors.

Amata Corporation PCL (AMATA)
Direct beneficiary of EEC
► To restart fast growth stages in 2017-2020.
► The right location to serve EEC demand.
► We recommend BUY with a target price of Bt20.90.
Restarting fast growth stages in 2017-2020
AMATA operates four industrial estates in Thailand and Vietnam
(Amata Nakorn, Chonburi, Amata City, Rayong, Thai-Chinese
Rayong Industrial Park in Amata City and Amata Vietnam) with
14,137 rai of land available to serve its sales over the next 10 years.
AMATA sold 617 rais in 2015 and 638 rais in 2016 and aims to sell
1,000 rais each year in 2017 and 2018. However, to be conservative,
we forecast land sales of 800 rais in 2017 and 850 rais in 2018.
Meanwhile, the company’s selling prices are expected to increase
by 5% p.a. in 2017 and 2018. The Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC)
project will be a prime driver for AMATA’s faster earnings growth
during 2017-20, after the sluggish performances in 2013-16 that
resulted from low Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in light of high
domestic political uncertainties and poor global economic
conditions.
The right location to meet demand from EEC
The government is projected to draw Bt1.5tn under the EEC project,
from both the public and private sectors, for integrated infrastructure
projects involving sea-air-land-rail links to reform the country as a
new industrial base under “Thailand 4.0”. The EEC is located in
three provinces, Chonburi, Rayong and Chachoengsao, and
AMATA is set to reap direct benefits as its domestic industrial
estates are located in two of the three provinces.
We recommend BUY with a target price of Bt20.90
The EEC will be the major driver for industrial estates located in the
zone and we expect AMATA to reap the most benefit from increased
land sales in the zone from 2017 onwards. The company also has
recurring income from its utility business, which accounts for
approximately 10-12% of its total revenues. In addition, AMATA has
strong land sales in Vietnam, which account for 7% of its total
revenues. We expect net profit to grow 18% YoY in 2017 and 17%
YoY in 2018 and anticipate upside gain from the gradual
appreciation of land prices. We recommend BUY with a target price
of Bt20.90, based on its historical 5-year PER at 13.4x. Our target
price offers 24% upside from the current price.

WIIK & HOEGLUND PCL (WIIK)
Benefits from EEC development begin
► To start paying corporate tax from 2017 onwards. ► Expect 2Q17 net profit of approximately Bt42mn. ► Water management projects drive growth. ► Maintain BUY with a target price of Bt6.70.
To start paying corporate tax from 2017 onwards.
WIIK’s tax shield has expired and it will have to begin paying a
corporate tax rate of 15%-20% from 2017 onwards, which we have
included in our 2017 earnings forecast. Despite slightly lowering
our full-year forecast to reflect the tax burden, we believe its 2017
net profit will increase 41% YoY. We reduced our 2017 earnings
forecast to Bt188mn (fully diluted EPS of Bt0.40), from our previous
estimate of Bt198mn.
Expect 2Q17 net profit of approximately Bt42mn
We expect WIIK’s 2Q17 earnings to recover from 1Q17 as
construction of a pipeline between Surat Thani and Samui
restarted after flooding in the South. We expect its 2Q17 net profit
(also after tax) to be Bt42mn, up from Bt38mn in 2Q16. The
company’s backlog at the end of 1Q17 was Bt600mn and there
was additional backlog of Bt200mn during 2Q17 from Provincial
Waterworks Authority (PWA).
Water management projects drive growth
Revenue recognition on Water Management Project #2 for
Wellgrow Industrial Estate is expected to start from June 2017
instead of May 2017, one month late. However, the company is
likely to have at least two additional water management projects
this year. The contract on Water Project #3, a water management
project for PWA, is expected to be signed after June 2017. This
year, we expect total revenue recognition of Bt80mn from these
two water management projects, Bt50mn from the first project and
Bt30mn from the second.
Benefits from EEC
The Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) will benefit WIIK by
accelerating the creation of public utilities including piping and
water supply for industrial estates and industrial groups to manage
the water supply and sewage systems. This will offer great
potential for WIIK in the future. WIIK’s pipe plant is located in
Rayong, which would be very convenient for transportation to EEC
development areas (Chonburi, Rayong, Chachoengsao).

Maintain BUY with a target price of Bt6.70
We revised down our net profit forecasts for 2017-2018 by 5% and 7%, respectively, due to taxes to be paid from
2017 onwards and the one-month delay for Water Management Project #2. However, we foresee potential growth
for WIIK’s HDPE pipe business and management business with the EEC development. Moreover, WIIK plans to
list Wiik Water. We recommend BUY for long-term investment with a target price of Bt6.70 based on the sum-of-
the-parts method; PER of 14.25x for the construction business of Bt6.00 and DCF for two water management
projects of Bt0.70. We expect 2017-2018 earnings to grow 41% YoY and 15% YoY, respectively, even with a
dilution effect from about 100mn shares converted from warrants (WIIK-W1) that will expire on 16 Jun 2018. We
calculate the diluted EPS for 2017 according to full dilution of 475mn shares. EPS in 2017-2018 is expected to
grow 11% and 15%, respectively, and the stock offers an attractive high dividend yield of 4.8% in 2017 and 5.4%
in 2018.

Eastern Technical Engineering PCL
(ETE)
A real boon from EEC projects
► Speed-up of EEC should draw extensive demand for
electricity and telecommunication infrastructure.
► Large demand in other areas from massive
government infrastructure projects, especially EGAT’s
Bt300bn grid connection.
► Maintain BUY with a 2017 target price of Bt6.20.
Much greater demand from the EEC projects
On May, 23 2017, The government invoked Section 44 of the interim
charter to speed up investment in the Eastern Economic Corridor
(EEC). The EEC development is projected to draw Bt1.5tn from both
the public and private sectors for integration of infrastructure
projects. The larger the EEC projects, the more estates and
economic activities and the more demand for electricity and
telecommunication infrastructure. Importantly, more high-voltage
transmission lines (e.g. 115kV, 230kV) are required to ensure
enough electricity for this key economic area. Fortunately, ETE is
now able to do 115kV transmission line engineering services, an
area which has fewer competitors and offers impressive margins.
Once it gains experience and a reputation in 115kV, we expect the
company to move up to 230kV, which provides even greater margins
and matches the needs of the economic corridor.
Still significant upside potential
We maintain our BUY recommendation with a 2017 target price of
Bt6.20 based on the DCF method. We expect ETE’s net profit to
surge 361% in 2017 and 16% in 2018 thanks to easier access to
sources of funds and increased potential for larger and more
sophisticated jobs, which are backed by a hefty demand. Despite the
strong outlook, the share price is still trading around the IPO price
which is quite low. The current price offers a very large 60% upside
to our target price. Moreover, we still have not priced in upward
potential from additional solar energy projects that ETE might get
and margin from possible 230kV transmission line jobs that may
raise overall margin higher than expected.

Airports of Thailand PCL (AOT)
Indirect benefits from EEC
► New expansion under EEC to enhance AOT’s business.
► High potential to increase revenues and businesses.
► Don Muang Phase 3 expansion to boost passenger volumes.
► Recommend BUY with the new target price of Bt49.00 (from
Bt46.00).
New expansion under EEC plan to enhance AOT’s business
AOT has experience and excellent expertise in airport operation
management, airport development planning and airport improvement
to meet required international standards and to be able to respond to
the various needs of clients. We expect AOT to benefit indirectly from
EEC, as Thailand aims to promote the tourism and aviation industries
through revamping U-Tapao Airport to be linked with Suvarnabhumi
Airport and Don Muang Airport. Presently, AOT has six international
airports under its management, Don Muang, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Hat
Yai, Chiang Rai and Suvarnabhumi, all of which accommodate
domestic and international flghts.
High potential to increase revenues and businesses
For AOT’s new 10-year master plan, starting from fiscal year 2017,
the company plans to increase the proportion of commercial rental
area at its airports, which is a stable revenue source due to long-
term agreements and a guaranteed minimum rental income. AOT
was able to accommodate 76mn passengers for the first seven
months of FY17 (Oct 16-Apr 17), +7.36% YoY, while in FY16 it
accommodated 120mn passengers. AOT develops the
infrastructure and airports to support demand and stay competitive
in the Asian Economic Community. In this fiscal year, AOT will see
positive factors from the opening of Terminal 2 at Don Mueang
International Airport on 8 Mar 2016 and the International terminal of
Phuket International Airport on 16 Sep 2016. The projects would
accommodate an increase in passenger volumes and commercial
rental areas at these airports.
Don Muang Phase 3 expansion to boost passenger volumes AOT is expected to invest approximately Bt32bn on the Don Muang Phase 3 expansion to serve 40mn passenger p.a. up from 30-35mn passenger p.a. The expansion plan will be proposed to AOT’s Board of Directors in November 2017. Don Muang accommodated 21.7mn passengers in the first seven months of FY17 during Oct 16-Apr 17.

Recommend BUY and revise up target price from Bt46.00 to Bt49.00.
In 2017, AOT is developing Suvarnabhumi Airport Phase 2 with a total investment cost of Bt54bn, comprised of seven
contracts. This is down from the existing budget of Bt63bn. The project is expected to be ready to accommodate
passengers in November 2019. It will help the company serve 15mn additional passengers per annum, from its current
45mn passengers to 60mn passengers. We maintain a BUY recommendation with a target price of Bt46.00 based on
a DCF method, changing to 8 years from 9 years and a WACC changing from 9.9% to 8.6%.Our target offers an
upside gain of 7% from the current share price.

The disclosure of the Anti-Corruption Progress Indicators of a listed company on the Stock Exchange of Thailand, which is assessed by Thaipat
