dtac reports Q316 net profit of THB659 million

October 20, 2016 – dtac reports total revenues and net profit for the third quarter of 2016 of THB19.5 billion and THB659 million, respectively.
     Postpaid subscriber base and revenues continue to grow strongly, with double digit growth rates for both, as a result of improving network quality and perception, best offers in the market, attractive handset campaigns, and expansion of dtac retail shops. dtac registered postpaid net adds of 195k subscribers and 14% growth of revenues from postpaid segment in Q316. Challenges remain in the prepaid segment, including ongoing handset subsidies in the market, aggressive MNP campaigns, and continuing trend of prepaid-to-postpaid subscriber migrating.
     Despite strong growth in the postpaid segment, total service revenues excluding IC for Q316 declined 1.2% from the same period last year. Revenues from data services continue to grow strongly, reaching 58% of service revenues excluding IC. dtac, with a strong spectrum portfolio of 50MHz bandwidth and the largest contiguous bandwidth in the 1800MHz frequency band, is well positioned to capture the growth of data demand and provide best wireless services to its customer base on 2G/3G/4G technologies.
     dtac continues its massive network rollout, installing close to 20,000 additional 3G/4G base stations during the last 12 months. At the end of the third quarter, dtac has all districts in Thailand covered with its 4G network. Moreover, bandwidth on 4G-1800MHz in densely populated areas across the country, in addition to the BMA, has been upgraded to 20MHz, the widest contiguous 4G bandwidth in a single frequency band in the market, to provide the best mobile Internet service. All customers with 4G-enabled devices are able to enjoy the best 4G experience on dtac network. More areas will be upgraded in the coming quarters. Along with the network expansion, the perception of network quality gradually improves. At the end of the third quarter, the number of 4G subscribers reached 4.1 million, up from 1.6 million a year ago. The total subscriber base stood at 24.8 million, more than 94% of which had already been registered under DTN.
     In addition to network expansion, we put significant efforts into expanding the distribution channels - both offline channels, including 55 new branded retail shops, and “dInfinite”, the digital service flagship store, and online channels, like the dtac official store on Lazada. The online channels are a very important part of becoming the leading digital brand.
     In Q316, facing a slight decline in total revenue from the same period last year, costs are well contained, resulting in an increase in EBITDA of 2%. EBITDA margin reaches the 2-year high level of 37.0%, compared to 35.9% in the same period last year. Depreciation and amortization expenses continue to go up due to continued investment in the network. Consequently, Q316 net profit declined 46% from the same period last year.
     We have revised our outlook for 2016 to reflect the actual results in the first 9 months of 2016. The outlook for 2016 comprises (1) slight decline in service revenue excluding IC from last year, (2) EBITDA at least at the same level as last year, and (3) similar CAPEX level as last year.
     Lars Norling, dtac’s Chief Executive Officer, said “We are pleased to see the strong growth in the postpaid segment, validating the improvement in network quality and perception, and distribution both online and offline. We continue to offer our customers the best Internet experience and maintain our value-for-money position. Furthermore, data revenue growth continues to accelerate, mainly driven by video and music streaming services. We have a strong spectrum portfolio and are well positioned to capture the data growth. After allocating 20MHz bandwidth of 1800MHz frequency band to provide the best 4G service in BMA, we have upgraded most of the densely populated areas across the country with 20MHz bandwidth on 4G-1800MHz and plan to upgrade more areas in the future. At the end of Q3, dtac’s 4G network covers all districts in Thailand.”

who will showcase their designs internationally at Good Design Exhibition 2016 in Tokyo, Japan

Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), Ministry of Commerce, through Thailand Office of Innovation and Value Creation, is hosting an award presentation ceremony for Design Excellence Award 2016 or DEmark 2016, presenting awards to 67 outstanding Thai businesses and designers from 54 companies. DITP director will support these winners to showcase their designs at Good Design Exhibition 2016 at Tokyo Midtown Hall, Tokyo, Japan, during October 28 – November 3, 2016
Deputy Director-General of the Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), Chantira Jimreivat Vivatrat, stated, “Design Excellence Award has been held annually based on DITP’s intention to promote Thailand’s export industry internationally in order to boost our economy and increase Thai people’s income, according to Thailand 4.0 strategy, the objective of which is to promote value-based economy. Over the years, DITP has focused on strengthening local businesses by connecting them to the global market. To do so, DIPT has encouraged innovation development and creative design to add value to businesses in Thailand. Design Excellence Award or DEmark is one of our strategies to elevate Thailand’s status to Thailand 4.0. DEmark is now in its ninth year. This year, the concept of DEmark is ‘Design Driven Business’, with an aim to raise awareness about creative innovation to make a difference, and to adapt businesses and SMEs to be more creative through adding design in their production process. This will help add value and advantages to Thai businesses in the international market. DEmark is a symbol that reflects locally and internationally recognized quality, and it also opens up opportunities for winners to be internationally acknowledged. Over the years, DITP has received support from Jetro and Japan Institute of Design Promotion (JDP) – the two organizations have sent G-Mark experts from Japan to join the panel of judges for DEmark, making DEmark an internationally recognized award.
This year, DITP also receives support from the private sector, such as Siam Piwat Company Limited. Through this partnership, the two organizations have signed an MOU to open Object of Desire Store (ODS) at Siam Discovery to sell DEmark products and other award-winning home decor products, more than 160 brands in total.

M.L. Kathathong Thongyai, Director Thailand Office of Innovation and Value Creation, Department of International Trade Promotion, Ministry of Commerce, said, “DEmark 2016 received 616 entries from 330 companies this year, a 14% increase from the previous year. A total of 67 items from 54 companies have been awarded this year – 9 from Furniture category, 26 from Lifestyle category, 4 from Fashion Apparel/Leather Goods/Jewelry/Textile category, 9 from Industrial category, 6 from Food packaging/Health & Beauty Packaging category, and 13 from Font/Graphic on Surface/Digital Media/Identity Design category. Many first-time entries are awarded this year, particularly SMEs. This proves that Thai entrepreneurs and designers see the importance of adding value to their products, using creative design and innovation to make their products stand out and appeal to consumers based on analysis of future trends and consumer needs. The products meet the emotional and functional needs with their design and quality. It can be said that Thailand is among the best design product producers of Asean and of the world. The criteria are divided into five main aspects in accordance with consumer behavior in the global market today - 1) Design Story, 2) Creativity / Originality, 3) Emotion / Aesthetics, 4) Usability / Safety, 5) Society/ Environment/Sustainability/Universal Design. Therefore, products that have won a DEmark award are guaranteed to have great functional and emotional quality, and help inspire ideas among their users. This will help stimulate creativity among both creators and users. This year, a total of 36 items from 32 companies which have won DEmark 2016 awards are also given G-Mark, and will be showcased at Good Design Exhibition 2016 at Tokyo Midtown Hall, Tokyo, Japan, during October 28 – November 3, 2016, to present to the world the potential of Thai designers. It is a good opportunity for Thai entrepreneurs to gain recognition and network with international businesses, especially from countries with a great demand for creative products. This will help increase Thailand’s income. Additionally, all the 67 items which have won DEmark 2016 awards this year will be locally exhibited and sold at Bangkok International Gift Fair 2016 and Bangkok International Houseware Fair 2016 (BIG & BIH 2016) during October 19-23.”

     In Photo: UNHCR Thailand recently launched the global campaign “Nobody Left Outside” to raise funds for providing shelters for two refugees around the world. The campaign is supported by Venerable V. Vajiramedhi, 3MitiNews and Krobkruakhao 3 and Sansiri PCL, one of the leading property companies in Thailand. Over 11 days (September 29 to October 9)at Atrium 2, Siam Center, members of the public can learn about the importance of shelter through a simulation exercise and other activities.

Vajiramedhi; David Lau, President, Do Food Co., LTD.; Ruvendrini Menikdiwela, UNHCR Thailand Representative; Wichulee Chotbenjakul, First Secretary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand; Chiranan Manochaem; Manow Sornsin; Vuthithorn Milintachinda.
     Bangkok, 29 September, 2016 – With limited funding and more than 65 million people forcibly displaced globally, UNHCR is facing unprecedented challenges in providing adequate shelter for refugees.
In this light, UNHCR Thailand is joining the global campaign, “Nobody Left Outside”, to call on the private sector to contribute funds for shelter solutions for two million refugees in 12 countries including Afghanistan, Jordan, Lebanon and Rwanda over the next three years. 
The campaign launch in Thailand is in collaboration with three leading public figures and organizations that support fundraising activities in the country, namely Venerable V. Vajiramedhi, Channel 3 and Sansiri.
“A shelter – be it a tent, a makeshift structure or a house – is the basic building block for refugees to survive and recover from the physical and mental effects of violence and persecution,” said Ruvendrini Menikdiwela, UNHCR Thailand Representative. “Yet around the world, millions are struggling to get by in inadequate and often dangerous dwellings, barely able to pay the rent, and putting their lives, dignity and futures at risk.”
The campaign has been endorsed by the respected Buddhist monk, Venerable V. Vajiramedhi, who spoke at the press conference. “The loving kindness of Metta and Karuna are at the core of Buddhist belief and constitute the essential values of Thai people. We believe that the absolute way to peace is through humanity unification. As religion people we all have the duty to shelter one another regardless of nationality, race and religion.”
Recently, the 3 Mitinews programme from Channel 3 visited UNHCR’s operation in Lebanon, the country which hosts the highest number of Syrian refugees in the world in proportion to its population size. Kitti Singhapad, campaign supporter and executive producer of 3 Mitinews, reflected on his experience in the field: “We witnessed UNHCR’s challenges in providing shelter to every refugee. With the scale of displacement, UNHCR needs to put its priority on the most vulnerable people, the children and women.”
He added, “As the media, we have a role to raise our voice for refugees and to get to the heart of human suffering. We hope that the truth will help to mobilize support from all sectors of Thai society for refugees in need.”

Srettha Taweesin, President of Sansiri Pcl., a major property development company in Thailand and also one of campaign’s prominent corporate supporters, emphasized the importance of shelter as a basic necessity of life according to Sansiri’s philosophy. “We always believe that giving shelter is giving life and to improve people’s quality of life we have to emphasize this fundamental element. Shelter is essential for refugees as it not only provides safety but also restores their dignity as human beings.”
The “Nobody Left Outside” campaign welcomes support from all sectors to join global efforts to shelter two million people in 12 countries by the end of 2018.   These operations are expected to cost US$724 million in 2016. Yet only US$158 million is currently available, a shortfall which threatens to leave millions of men, women and children without adequate shelter and struggling to rebuild their lives.

Moreover, this particular region of East Asia and Western Pacific is improving to be the center of the global energy market, thus it is our responsibility to gain public acceptance as well as the confidence from the world of power industry.

The theme of CEPSI 2016 is “Energy Sustainability and Security: choices and challenges for power supply industry”. It is a great opportunity for our AESIEAP members and honored delegates to share our mutual interest and expertise as well as to discuss the issues regarding renewable energy, disruptive technologies, digital transformation and environmental problems.
These are big issues which, we, who are in power sector are facing, and trying to create innovation in order to draw out the most benefits and enhance energy sustainability and security within Asia-Pacific region and further to the entire world.
I believe that CEPSI 2016 is the conference that we can share various experiences and innovations among participants around the world to further apply in the future. For EGAT, we are moving ourselves to apply the new technologies and the environmental – friendly innovations such as: clean coal technology, renewable energy and smart grid to ensure the security and sustainability of the power supply industry as our choices and challenges.   I do have a conviction that Green and Clean Technology must be the choice to go. Regarding Green, I mean renewable energy, as for Clean Technology, I mean conventional power plant.  I believe if we have the optimum ratio of Green and Clean Technology, the goal of achieving energy sustainability and security will certainly be possible. Mr. Kornrasit added.
CEPSI 2016 will feature a wide variety of activities directly related to the power supply industry including a special speech by the world renowned speakers, such as Mr. Marco Baroni, the International Energy Agency (IEA), Prof. Dr. Jochen Kreusel, Head of Sector Initiative Smart Grids, ABB Group and more.

Holiday Inn Survey Shows There’s Too Much Work and NotEnough Play on our Holiday

New findings highlight impact of working during family breaks and why travellers should be doing more of what they love

  • Over half of holiday-makers occasionally or frequently had to work whilst on holidays
  • Over half of this group have cancelled or postponed holidays because of work
  • Only 1 in 10 are able to completely ‘turn off’ from work whilst on holidays, can’t remember a holiday uninterrupted by work
Bangkok, Thailand: Many of us are spending our holidays working instead of relaxing with our families, a regional survey by Holiday Inn® has found. Only 1 in 10 are able to completely ‘turn off’ from work during a break and many can’t remember a holiday that hasn’t been interrupted by work.

The Holiday Inn ‘Do More of What You Love’ survey, gathered insights from travellers across the Asia, Middle East and Africa region to explore what guests love to do and see during vacations with friends and family. Key findings indicate that in today’s ‘always on, always connected’ world travellers find it challenging to truly disengage from work.

Over half (56%) of the holiday-makers surveyed say they’ve either occasionally or frequently had to work whilst on holidays, and more than 55% of this group have had to cancel or postpone holidays because of urgent last minute work commitments.

Whether participants are male or female, parents or child-free, the findings show that taking a break is not easy to achieve:

  • More men (57%) than women (42%) frequently work on holidays;
  • More male than female respondents (56% and 43% respectively) said they have had to cancel or postpone holidays because something urgent at work has come up;
  • Of those who have had to cancel or postpone a holiday due to work, child-free respondents were worst affected (63%);

Some travellers are finding ways to make work ‘work’ for us whilst on holidays with almost one in three (30%) saying they only check work emails and messages once their children are in bed, the survey finding women (61%) more disciplined than men (38%) at doing this.

Regional comparisons showed parents from Japan, Southeast Asia and India were best at only checking-in with work once their little ones were snoozing, while those from the Middle East scored amongst the lowest, unsurprising given almost half (47%) responded that they had to cancel or postpone family holidays due to work.

Lee Lin Teo, Head of Brand Management for the Holiday Inn Brand Family across Asia, Middle East and Africa (AMEA) at InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) said: “Despite the large numbers of travellers who admit work does often encroach on their holiday time, what we do find encouraging is that other group of travellers who find ways to switch off, relax, rejuvenate and enjoy their break.

“At Holiday Inn, we want to bring back this joy of travel, that wonderful feeling of doing more of what you love, with the ones you love the most – your family.”

Younger travellers around the region were also surveyed with many saying they’re seeing their Mums and Dads working on their precious breaks instead of spending quality time with them.  In fact, over 1 in 10 say their parents always work on holidays, which is food for thought given almost a quarter (23%) of all kids surveyed say they feel sad when their parents work on holiday, saying they simply want to spend time or play together with their parents!

“Holiday Inn has always stood for fun, family-friendly holidays that take the stress out of breaks because we know there’s already too much of that in our guests’ every-day lives.

“We were the first hotel brand across the world to champion hassle-free holidays with ‘Kids Stay and Eat Free’, and for those times Mum and Dad really can’t avoid checking into work, our Kids Club and fun-friendly KidSuite® rooms keep younger guests happy and busy until it’s time to hit the beach again as a family,” Lee Lin finished.

Across Thailand, there are 7 Holiday Inn hotels and resorts open. Globally, there are almost 1,200 Holiday Inn hotels and resorts open, with a further 260 due to open in the next three to five years.
- END -
About the survey: The Holiday Inn ‘Do More of What You Love’ survey was conducted between April and July 2016 via SoGoSurvey.com.  A total of 521 respondents were surveyed across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, India, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and South Africa.

About Holiday Inn®: Started over 60 years ago and with more than 1,200 hotels worldwide today, the Holiday Inn® brand is the most widely recognised lodging brand in the world. During that time, it was the first hotel brand to launch a computerised reservation system in 1965, one of the first international hotel brands to establish a presence in China in 1984 and the first to take an online booking in 1995.

The ‘Kids Eat & Stay Free’ programme available at every Holiday Inn® property, and KidSuites® rooms at every Holiday Inn Resort® hotel, demonstrates the long-standing commitment of the Holiday Inn® brand to serving family travellers, along with a comfortable atmosphere where everyone can sit back and relax.

DrGL® is a range of bespoke skincare by celebrity Dr.Georgia Lee. The proprietary skincare range infuses science into effective skincare and is dedicated to different skin types. Eschewing the mass for a carefully crafted selection of premium quality products, DrGL®offers the modern busy individual maximum efficacy, minimum fuss.

While her clinical experience gave her the confidence to start her very own skincare line, it was her personal experience that provided the final push. A serious allergic reaction resulted in blisters that covered the left side of her face, leaving her with persistent hyperpigmentation which only resolved after treatment with a cream that she customized for herself. While traumatic, this episode piqued her interest in skincare and motivated her to delve further into its development.

Uncompromising quality

As a boutique brand, Dr.Lee is involved at every stage of DrGL®product development, from formula to manufacturing and packaging, always striving for the highest standards.

Never one to settle for less than the best, Dr.Lee brings this same demanding approach to DrGL®. Maximum efficacy is ensured with the use of top-of-the-range ingredients, a choice that surprised even her suppliers who advised that cheaper mass alternatives could provide almost the same effects; but for Dr.Lee, almost is simply not good enough. Similarly, manufacturers of the same mindset were sought, ensuring that the purity of the products is never compromised at any stage.

A cult favorite

Most gratifyingly, DrGL® has received rave reviews and more importantly, has made a difference to its users. Since its inception, DrGL® skincare has won critical acclaim and recognition. Discover for yourself why fans swear by it.
"I believe that skincare should be simple"

Dr.Georgia Lee
DrGL® Restore Gel Mask

Bring skin back to equilibrium with this restorative gel for all skin types. Packed with healing botanicals to help soothe skin, it makes a particularly good travel companion as skin tends to be stressed by changing environments, manifesting signs of irritation such as redness and dryness.

How To Use
As a mask : apply a thick layer over face for intensive healing; wipe off excess after 20 minutes. As a gel moisturizer : smooth onto face as often as needed.

The DrGL® Difference

A proprietary blend of natural ingredients including Gardenia Florida Extract and Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract heals skin with its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial powers. Its blue hue extracted from Guaiazulene helps counteract redness while its all-natural fragrance exerts a calming influence.

(240ml / THB 2,650)

  • Solution ensures optimal aircraft allocation for all flights and routes
  • Dynamic scheduling reduces impact of maintenance on airline operations
IFS, the global enterprise applications company, has brought to market a 24/7 tail planning and maintenance allocation solution for the global civil aviation industry. IFS Tail Planning, Optimization & Assignment™ maximizes aircraft allocation efficiency, supports aircraft planning and optimally schedules maintenance events—allowing airline operators to make informed decisions faster.
IFS Tail Planning, Optimization & Assignment provides full visibility and dynamic optimization within a single solution, well in advance of planned flight tasking and maintenance events. Planners can now handle a wider planning window and dynamically manage hard and soft constraints that affect aircraft scheduling, such as destination or maintenance requirements, and analyze the impact of these events on the flight schedule. Maintenance engineers now benefit from full visibility, ahead of planned maintenance events and available aircraft ground times.
Airlines further benefit from access controls, dynamic role-based workflow management, and master data management for constraints—while taking into account service level agreements (SLAs).
“The solution maximizes fuel savings by reducing maintenance inefficiency through better allocation of aircraft to long-haul routes and assigning an aircraft for maintenance, within the maintenance window,” said  Graham Grose, industry director for Aerospace & Defense at IFS. “The solution will play a key role in helping airlines achieve business goals and grow even further in what is an extremely competitive market. As a global leader in the aviation industry, IFS looks forward to continuing to work with airlines across the globe.”
