PTT Oil and Retail IPO - F&B business is the driver of profits

PTT (PTT TH) is planning to list its subsidiary, PTT Oil and Retail (PTTOR TH) in 2020. PTTOR filed its draft prospectus with the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) in April 2020 and it is targeting an IPO deal size of US$1 - 1.5bn.

As per the exchange announcement, PTTOR will offer up to 2.7bn primary shares in the IPO, of which 300m will be sold to existing shareholders of PTT. There will be a greenshoe option of 300m shares. PTT will retain 75% stake in PTTOR after the IPO.

Based on PTTOR’s total revenue, the business would look unexciting given that most of its revenue is generated from the oil business. However, segment gross profit breakdown shows that its non-oil business is the one to look out for. The non-oil business includes the network of Amazon Cafes in Thailand and other countries and operates with a much higher gross margin than its main oil segment.

In this note, we will look at PTTOR’s main business segments, how they have performed over the past three years, and share our thoughts on the profit driver.
