■   The 17.3% yoy core earnings decline to Rp310bn in 1Q18 was disappointing. This was due to 1) flat yoy revenue, and 2) a higher uncharted tax rate.
■   With audience share improvement expected in May 2018 onwards, revenue growth should get a lift to some 2.3% yoy in FY18F.
■   Assuming P&B costs continue to normalise, GPM should expand by c.0.8% pts to 62.9%, leading to 3.1-7.3% FY18-19F core EPS growth.
■   Weak growth aside, valuations at 10.4x 12M forward P/E (almost 2 s.d. below 3-year mean) have largely priced in the weakness but ignore balance sheet improvements.
Maintain Add with a lower TP based on 13.0x 2019F P/E (1 s.d. below 3-year mean).
