Core 4Q15 results slightly below expectations
Yield recovery encouraging while jet fuel costs remain low and below our US$90 assumption
We expect Tigerair to post its first full-year profit in five years come FY16
Maintain BUY with higher TP of S$0.42
Losses narrow in 4Q15. Tigerair reported 4Q15 EBIT that were below expectations, due to accounting changes that affected depreciation as well as MRO costs. Revenue rose 5% y-o-y to S$172.2m while operating losses narrowed by over 90% to S$2.3m from S$24.2m previously. Excluding the higher depreciation and MRO charges, there would have been an operating profit of S$4m. One of the key drivers for the improved performance was a 20% y-o-y decline in net fuel expenses to S$65.1m. Below the operating line, there were further net provisions and write-offs amounting to S$17.4m, which brought the net loss to S$18.8m for the quarter. For the full year, Tigerair reported a net loss of S$264.2m vs. a loss of S$223m a year ago. Earnings to recover next year. The change in accounting estimates for depreciation (reduced useful life from 23 years to 15 years and residual value from 15% to 10% for aircraft) and maintenance expenses should lower (non-cash) earnings by over S$20m per annum. On a positive note, fuel prices remain below our assumption of US$90 per barrel (averaging US$73 per barrel in April) and yields were higher than we expected, growing 12% in 4Q15 vs. our 3% growth assumption. We adjust our forecasts to take into account higher depreciation and maintenance costs, offset by higher yields, which result in our FY16/17 estimates being cut by 12%/11% respectively. Maintain BUY. With a revitalised balanced sheet, and a recovery in earnings and cash flow, our TP is lifted to S$0.42 (due to higher cash earnings estimates), based on 8x FY15/16 EV/EBITDA. We continue to like the stock as a recovery play. At A Glance Issued Capital (m shrs) Mkt. Cap (S$m/US$m) Major Shareholders Singapore Airlines (%) Free Float (%) Avg. Daily Vol.(‘000)

Company Focus Tiger Airways Holdings
INVESTMENT THESIS Profile Tigerair is a low cost carrier headquartered in Singapore, where it has the second highest market share after Singapore Airlines, its majority shareholder.
Rationale Surprising losses for core Singapore operations We expect Tigerair’s total fleet to stand pat at 23 aircraft through to 4Q16, and add one more aircraft only in FY17, and this capacity tightness should help yields and load factors firm up. Also, with jet fuel currently at c.US$75 per barrel, and with increasingly less hedging losses, Tigerair’s jet fuel bill should be substantially lower. No turnaround in sight for associates We project Tigerair to post an operating profit of S$44m in FY16 compared to a loss of S$40m in FY15, growing by 49% y-o-y to S$66m in FY17. At the bottom line, we project Tigerair to post its first net profit in five years, with a net profit of S$39m in FY16, and growing to S$55m in FY17, compared to a loss of S$264m for FY15.
Intense competition from other leading LCCs in ASEAN The recently completed rights issue raised net proceeds of S$227.4m for Tigerair, which has helped to re-capitalise the Group’s equity position and leaves it in a net cash position. Tigerair is also now a 55.8%-owned subsidiary of SIA, and a closer working relationship with SIA, such as the interline cooperation with Scoot and inclusion in the KrisFlyer programme, should lead to greater benefits in the long run.
Valuation 12-month TP of S$0.42 based on 8x FY16/17 EV/EBITDA for Tigerair. Our target valuation multiple of 8x EV/EBITDA is referenced to its peers’ average of 7.9x FY16 EV/EBITDA.
Risks Vulnerable to demand shocks Airlines are susceptible to demand shocks, which could include pandemics, terrorist attacks as well as economic crises. In Tigerair's situation, they are largely exposed to the economic and demand environment for the S.E. Asia, China and Austral. Higher fuel prices would hit earnings The Group's razor thin profit margins would be negatively impacted if fuel prices were to climb higher significantly. Each US$1 increase in jet fuel price per barrel would decrease the Group's net profit by c. S$2m, all else being equal.
