Flat growth. Overall, service revenue growth for Malaysia
mobile industry is relatively flat (+0.8% y-o-y) in 1Q15. The
strong growth of data revenue was offset by falling voice and
SMS revenues. Maxis and DiGi achieved 4.4% and 2.2% y-o-y
growth, respectively, largely at the expense of Celcom (-4.4%)
again. Celcom continued to suffer from unresolved IT issues
and weak distribution channels in 1Q15.
Celcom is responding by cutting data pricing. Competition
among the Big 3 telcos has intensified since April, when
Celcom introduced a new entry-level postpaid plan which
significantly undercut all its competitors’ plans, offering
promotional 3GB data at RM38/month. It also recently slashed
its 1GB mobile internet plan to RM25/month (from RM28-30)
after refreshing its prepaid plan. Celcom’s new data plans are
disruptive in a few ways. First, it is an outright reduction in
pricing. Second, the pricing of its new data plan is considerably
lower not only when compared to Maxis and DiGi, but to U
Mobile as well. And lastly, Celcom now allows unutilised data
to be carried forward for all its prepaid and postpaid plans, the
first telco in Malaysia to do that.
Cut FY15-17F EPS by 2-9%. To reflect lower data pricing and
a reversal in GST treatment for prepaid revenue, we cut FY15-
17F earnings of mobile operators by 2-9% after lowering
ARPU assumptions.
Cautious on mobile operators; prefer TM and TIME. We
remain cautious on mobile operators as a further decline in
data pricing could pose a risk to earnings as well as capex,
especially as TM will also launch its wireless services in the next
12 months. However, we remain optimistic of the eventual
rollout of High-Speed Broadband 2 (HSBB2), Sub-Urban
Broadband (SUBB) and wireless services that will drive further
growth for TM. We upgrade TM to BUY (from Hold) with DCF-
based TP of RM7.65, as the recent correction in its share price
should have priced in the near-term drag on earnings due to
slower turnaround of P1 operation.

Disappointing on hindsightDisappointing on hindsightDisappointing on hindsightDisappointing on hindsight. The major disappointment for the
sector was that TM’s earnings were dragged by higher operating
costs and losses at P1. Axiata also reported weaker results but
this had been cautioned by management earlier. On hindsight,
DiGi and Maxis’ results (reported much earlier) are now slightly
below expectations given the recent U-turn in GST pricing and
rising competition. TIME continued to report good results due to
strong growth of data revenue, underpinned by an increase in
global bandwidth sales.

Celcom lost 690k subscribers. We believe price competition
intensified in 1Q15, particularly in the migrant worker segment.
Maxis started to offer competitive rates for IDD again, and this
seems to have dented DiGi’s prepaid ARPU in 1Q15.

wireless broadband), Celcom lost 110k subscribers while DiGi
and Maxis added 37k and 19k subscribers in 1Q15, respectively.
The loss at Celcom indicates smaller players (especially U Mobile)
also gained some subscribers. Apart from IT issues, we think
Celcom also lacked entry-level postpaid plans to attract the low-
end segment, resulting in subscriber loss. This seems to be the
case as Celcom has recently introduced a new entry-level
postpaid plan that undercuts competitors’ offerings.

Celcom getting aggressive
Celcom is Celcom is Celcom is Celcom is ccccutting data pricesutting data pricesutting data pricesutting data prices. Based on current usage level, we
examine: 1) Prepaid plans with 1GB of data; and 2) entry-level
postpaid plans (see Exhibit 3 and 4). Until recently, we observe
that the Big 3 telcos (Celcom, DiGi, and Maxis) have kept base
monthly data pricing relatively stable at RM25/GB for postpaid
and RM30/GB for prepaid, despite more aggressive pricing by U
Mobile at RM17/GB for postpaid and RM25/GB for prepaid since
early 2015.
However, we believe competition among the Big 3 telcos has
intensified since late April when Celcom introduced a new entry-
level postpaid plan which significantly undercut all competitors’
plans, offering promotional 3GB data at RM38/month (non-
promo 2GB) as long as users subscribe within the promotion
period and do not churn out. Celcom also recently slashed its
1GB mobile internet plan to RM25/month (from RM28-30/month
in previous quarters) after refreshing its prepaid plan.
As Celcom has lost close to one million subscribers since mid-
2014, the company is aggressive on data pricing in order to
regain subscribers. We believe Celcom intends to attract prepaid
subscribers to convert to postpaid and retain them as well, as its
RM38 entry-level postpaid plan is much cheaper than any plans
in the market currently (whether prepaid or postpaid).

they adjust their plans to match Celcom’s pricing, especially since
Celcom is a bigger competitor relative to U Mobile. In addition,
this will also be in line with the government’s aim to promote
affordable broadband packages and reduce cellular rates.

Celcom putting pressure on data pricing
While data revenue per GB for the telcos has been declining (see
Exhibit 5 and 6), we believe this largely reflects subscribers
moving up the different pricing tiers (higher volume, lower
RM/GB) as their data usage increase. Overall, data monetisation
for the telcos has been healthy, with data ARPU per subscriber
relatively stable at RM24-26 in the past few quarters.

Celcom’s new data plans are disruptive in a few ways. First, it is
an outright reduction in pricing, in contrast to past practices of
giving more value to subscribers (while maintaining ARPU) in
response to competition. Second, the pricing of its new data plan
is considerably lower, not only when compared to Maxis and
DiGi, but also to U Mobile as well. And lastly, Celcom now allows
unutilised data to be carried forward for all its prepaid and
postpaid plans, the first telco in Malaysia to do that.

2-9% after lowering ARPU assumptions to reflect the reduction
in data pricing and the reversal of GST treatment of prepaid
revenue. We think DiGi will be affected the most given its higher
proportion of prepaid revenue, and its market positioning in the
low-end or value-for-money segment of the market.
Maxis is affected less due to its positioning in the mid/high-end
segment, especially for postpaid. We also tweaked subscriber
assumptions for Maxis due to the operational improvements and
positive turnaround in net adds over the last two quarters.

Reversal Reversal Reversal Reversal ofofofof GST treatmentGST treatmentGST treatmentGST treatment. The regulator has given six months
grace period for mobile operators to comply with instructions to
charge GST upon usage, instead of the current practice of levying
6% GST on top of the reload value. Hence, revenue recognition
is likely to be the same as before, when mobile operators
absorbed the 6% service tax on behalf of prepaid subscribers.
We had previously assumed a 3% effective increase in prepaid
revenue for the mobile operators as we assumed they would pass
on the 6% GST to prepaid subscribers.

Still cautious on mobile operatorsStill cautious on mobile operatorsStill cautious on mobile operatorsStill cautious on mobile operators. Share price performances of
mobile operators have been lackluster, falling 6-9% in the past
three months. We believe this was mainly due to the reversal of
GST treatment on prepaid revenue, where expectations had been
built in previously, and signs that competition is heating up in the
mobile market. We remain cautious of mobile operators as
further declines in data pricing could pose some risk to earnings
as well as capex, especially as TM will also launch its wireless
services in the next 12 months.
Upgrade TM to BuyUpgrade TM to BuyUpgrade TM to BuyUpgrade TM to Buy. The share price has fallen by 11% from its
recent peak, especially after the company reported weak 1Q15
results. This suggests investors have priced in a near-term drag
on earnings as a result of a slower turnaround at P1. We remain
optimistic of the eventual rollout of HSBB2, SUBB and wireless
services that will drive further growth for TM as it rolls out the
high-speed network in more areas.
