So what is IEMR’s Forecast?

Total wireless subscriber connections in Thailand to increase to 75 million in 2014

• Given the latest quarter numbers, we forecast that the number of mobile subscriber connections in Thailand will increase from 65.3 million in 2009 to 75 million in 2014.
• AIS will continue to be the largest operator in the country with 32.2 million wireless subscriber connections in 2014.
• According to our model, DTAC will remain in second place with 22.3 million subscriber connections in 2014, and True will remain in third place with 18.9 million subscriber connections in 2014.

Market share of AIS will be declining slightly over the next five years

• Our model predicts that AIS will see its subscriber market share decline slightly from 44.0% in 2009 to 42.9% in 2014.
• We also forecast that subscriber market shares of DTAC and True will be approximately 29.8% and 25.2% respectively by the end of 2014.

True's ARPUs will continue to be much lower than ARPUs at AIS and DTAC

• We expect that the industry average monthly ARPU level in Thailand will remain at approximately THB 203 - THB 205 over the forecast period, 2010 - 2014.
• At the operator level, we expect that True's ARPU level will continue to be much lower than those of AIS and DTAC. Our model predicts that True's monthly ARPU will be THB 105 - THB 115 over the next five years. At AIS and DTAC, ARPUs will continue to be about twice as high as True's.

AIS's EBITDA margin to remain above 55% over the next eight quarters

• AIS will continue to enjoy the highest level of EBITDA margins (calculated as EBITDA/service revenue) in Thailand. We expect that its EBITDA margin will be about 55% over the next eight quarters.
• In comparison, our model predicts that EBITDA margins at DTAC and True will be approximately 40% and 31% respectively over the next two years.
