COMMENT
The subject obtained
more than 5,000,000
pre-paid and post-paid subscribers, as of January
2002. At the
end of 2001, its subscribers
increased by 2,835,500
resulting in a
total of 4,812,900
subscribers. Total revenue
was Bht. 40,364
million compared to
Bht. 27,096 million
in 2000, an
increase of Bht.
13,268 million. The
net profit was
Bht. 3,851 million,
compared to Bht.
6,599 million in
2000, a decrease
of Bht. 2,748
million or 41.64%
due to a provision of
Bht. 3,970 million
in respect to
impairment in the
carrying value of
its cost of
analog mobile phone network and pager network
under concession agreement.
However, excluding the
above asset impairment,
the 2001 net
profit would have
increased from the
previous year.
Industry
Situation and Competition
Prior to
the outbreak of economic
crisis in Asia,
Thailand was experiencing a remarkable economic
growth enabling broad
expansion in the
mobile phone industry.
During the economic crisis from 1997 to
1998, the expansion dropped from
19% in 1997 to 11%
in 1998. However, the
market recovered in
1999 with the
dynamic expansion of
22%, and 20%
and 118% in
2000 and 2001 respectively. As a result,
the penetration rate
per population of
100 persons jumped
from 3.6 in
1998 to 4.3
in 1999, 5.9
in 2000 and 12.7 in
2001, which is
still low compared
with other countries with a similar rate of
economic growth. This
is indicated that
the mobile phone
industry has room
for further growth in
Thailand.
Competition
The subject and Total Access Communication Plc. or TAC, are the two major operators in the market. Both have combined market share of 95%. Other operators include DPC, which is a subsidiary of the subject, and state operators being TOT and CAT. In the past, there was little competition with a limited number of competitors. However earlier in 2001, the market became very competitive with an arrival of new operators, which include TA Orange, who operates the GSM 1800 network, and Thai Mobile, who offers GSM 1900 service. Both newcomers launched their operations in 2002. Apart from the newcomers, the re-launch of service by Hutchison CAT Wireless Multimedia Co., Ltd., a CDMA service provider, who is a direct competitor of TAC adds to the competition.
The advent of telecom liberalization, scheduled for 2006, is expected to further stimulate the market and competition in the near future. Most competition will be among private operators rather than state operators. Private operators are expected to speed up the expansion of their network coverage and improve their after-sales services in order to increase the number of subscribers along with increasing their market share.

Additional Information
Subject :
AIS and Thai Mobile
reach roaming deal
Date : November
20, 2002
Advanced Info Service
has reached an
informal agreement on
roaming rates with
Thai Mobile, a
joint venture of
TOT Corporation and
the Communications Authority
of Thailand, making
it possible for
the new cellular
operator to start
commercial service on
November 27, 2002.
The analyst suggested
that AIS extended the
favourable treatment because
it wanted to established good relation with
Thai Mobile, which
holds the rights to
the coveted 1900-Megahertze band
for advanced their-generation mobile service.
Subject :
AIS budgets Bht. 3.5
billion to buy
back shares
Date
: November 14,
2002
Advanced Info Services Plc. says it has set aside Bht. 3.5 billion to buy back its shares over a six-month period. The company said the buyback was intended to make the market price of AIS more accurately reflect the company’s value, as external factors had depressed the share price.
Share repurchases or
treasury stock programmes,
first approved by
the SET last year,
have been used
by just a
handful of listed
companies to date.
An analyst said
companies with good
cash flow were
candidates for treasury stock
programme. While AIS
had a lot of debts,
its cash flow
was healthy from
its huge base
of nearly 10 million
mobile-phone subscribers.
Subject :
Phone firms feel
the heat
Date :
November 13, 2002
Local telecommunications firms are expected to announce weak third quarter earnings in 2002 with the profits squeezed by intense competition. Advanced Info Service Plc. [AIS] will deliver the best profits due to lower losses from its mobile unit, but risks from tough competition lies ahead over the company’s outlook.
After the launch
of TA Orange in March
2002 forced the
operators to sacrifice
their margins for
market share in a crippling
price war, slashing
handset prices and
charges. AIS’s average
revenue per unit [ARPU]
was expected to fall
while its subscriber
base continues to
grow. But lower
bad-debt provisioning and narrowing
losses from its
small subsidiary, Digital
Phone Co., Ltd. are
expected to boost
AIS’s third-quarter net profit
by 70-80% year-on-year to
between 2 billion
and 2.7 billion
baht. That represents
at least a
30% rise quarter-on-quarter. Strong
earnings from AIS
will also help
the net profit
of its parent, Shin Corporation
Plc.
