FROM THE EDITOR

Dear Investment Community,

Yet again, ridership on the core network exceeded previous historic highs with a record 232.5mn trips during the year. We exceeded our targets for ridership growth of 4-6% and average fare growth of 2% comfortably at

6.3% and 2.4%, respectively. Our mass transit business continues to benefit from strong tailwinds of urbanisation and real estate developments along mass transit lines. The anticipated transfer of the green line extensions from the MRTA back to the BMA was successfully

completed. On the 23rd of May, the company signed an agreement for the largest single order of trains in Thai history: 46 4-carriage trains at a contract value of EUR 270mn. These new trains are earmarked for bolstering capacity on our existing lines and for future operations on the

green line North and South extensions. We are committed to expanding our mass transit business to meet expected demand.

In our media business revenue declined 29.3% YoY, led mainly by the

prudent discontinuation of the modern trade media business. When

excluding this effect, revenues grew 3.1% YoY. This is in spite of the

industry being characteristically sensitive to macroeconomic headwinds

and subsequently, heightened competition for tapered overall ad spend,

which declined 1.2% YoY. BTS-related media segment revenues held

steadfastly, while Office Building-related media grew solidly – fortifying

our leadership in this segment. Following a challenging 2 years, VGI is now

well-positioned for growth and has set a target to become a nationwide

integrated media platform within 2 years; using smart data to enhance its

media revenue across both traditional offline and emerging online

inventory. The first expansion step was concluded on 31st May with the

acquisition of 12.5% of leading outdoor billboard player, MACO which will

now be consolidated into VGI financial statements.

Our property business saw significant developments over the year,

following the shift towards a partnership approach. Though revenues declined 33.8% YoY, this was mainly a shift in revenue recognition to share of income from joint-venture and associates: divestment of Nuvo Line to SIRI or the disposal of EGS hotel to U City where we also recognized a post-

tax gain of THB 2.5bn. Our remaining hotel portfolio saw improvements in operating performance, supported by a buoyant tourism environment. Our property revenue pipeline is expected to grow considerably with 6 JV projects to be launched in 2016 worth THB 23bn and U City launching at least two projects, including a THB 10bn total project value, mixed-use building on a prime location, at Phayathai interchange station.

The Board of Directors proposed a final dividend of THB 0.34 per share or

equivalent to THB 4,025.6mn to be paid on 16 August 2016. This marks the

final tranche of the committed dividend period. We shall revert back to our

previous policy of at least a 50% payout ratio.

BTS Group now has an incredible opportunity set, with potentially pivotal

advances across all 4 business segments. This will mark a multi-year period

of investment and as a result of that, we can expect to see our dividend

decline as we pursue this growth.

Share of net profit from investment in BTSGIF increased by 17.0% YoY to THB 847.4mn

ACCOUNTING AND RECLASSIFICATION

From 1 April 2014, BTS Group Holdings Public Company Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) have adopted TFRIC

12 – Service Concession Arrangements. This new standard provides accounting guidelines for concession operators for recognising and

measuring the obligations and related rights in public-to-private service concession arrangements. Bangkok Mass Transit System Public Company

Limited (“BTSC”), the subsidiary, provides services to procure electric trains (infrastructure) to be used in the provision of public services and to

operate and maintain this infrastructure for a specified period of time under the 30-year O&M contract. BTSC is paid for its services over the

period of the arrangement which is a public-to-private service concession arrangement. BTSC’s management, therefore, considers this

arrangement under the 30-year O&M contract to be within the scope of TFRIC 12. The effects of the changes are recognised retrospectively in

the financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

20 April 2015: The completion of the disposal of all ordinary shares in two subsidiaries, (i) BTS Assets Co., Ltd. (“BTSA”), the owner of Eastin

Grand Hotel Sathorn Bangkok (“EGS”) and land plots at Phaholyothin Road and (ii) Kamkoong Property Co., Ltd. (“KKP”), the owner of land

plots at Phayathai Road to U City Public Company Limited (“U City”). Total sales consideration was THB 9,404.1mn and BTS Group received

35.64% of the newly issued ordinary shares as well as warrants of U City in exchange for the sale.

May 2015: VGI fully exited Modern Trade media business. However, VGI signed a contract with BTSC, receiving rights to manage advertising

and merchandising areas on 7 extension stations (On Nut to Bearing and Krungthon Buri to Wongwian Yai) from May 2015 to December

2029.

22 July 2015: BTS Group and Sansiri Public Company Limited (“SIRI”) announced the expansion of the total project value under the 5-year

strategic alliance framework agreement to THB 100bn (upsized from THB 25-30bn) with plans to develop approximately 25 condominium

projects for sale within 500m of mass transit stations.

24 July 2015: The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders 2015 approved the appointment of 2 new directors (Mr. Chulchit Bunyaketu

and Dr. Karoon Chandrangsu), increasing the number of the directors from 12 to 14 directors.

17 August 2015: The Company paid FY 14/15 final dividend of THB 3,547.6mn or THB 0.30 per share, taking the total annual dividend paid

to THB 7,093.8mn (THB 0.60 per share). Based on the closing share price on 22 May 2015 (one day before the BOD date), this is equivalent

to a dividend yield of 6.38%.

INVESTOR RELATIONS QUARTERLY REVIEW: ISSUE 24 BTS GROUP HOLDINGS PCL

FY 15/16 (For the year ended 31 Mar 2016) (Ended June 2010)

FY 15/16 PERFORMANCE

The Group recorded consolidated total revenue of THB 10,065.0mn in FY 15/16. This represented an increase of 23.9% YoY or THB 1,939.0mn

from THB 8,126.0mn in FY 14/15. The increase was primarily due to (1) a record of gain (before tax) on sale of property assets (disposal of shares

in the 2 subsidiaries to U City) of THB 3,458.5mn in 1Q 15/16 and (2) an increase in dividend income of THB 239.1mn. The increase was partially

offset with (3) a reduction in service income of THB 709.4mn mainly from softer Property and Media revenues (see details in Segmental

Performance section), (4) a decline in interest income of THB 552.6mn mainly from the decrease in investment balance under treasury

management and (5) a reduction in gain on sales of assets of THB 270.3mn largely due to an extraordinary gain recognised in FY 14/15 from the

gain on sale of 5-rai land at Mo Chit to SIRI-JVCo1 of THB 367.5mn.

Despite higher Mass Transit revenue and an increase in revenue from Services business unit, operating revenue3 fell by 13.4% YoY or THB

954.6mn to THB 6,147.5mn largely as a result of the reduction in Property and Media revenue. Media revenue contracted from our prudent

decision to discontinue the Modern Trade Media business. Property operating revenue contracted from the previous year, as result of our

divestment of EGS to U City in April 2015 and lower backlog of Abstracts Phahonyothin Park (Tower A) that was transferred during year compared

to the previous year (see details in Segmental Performance section). Future recorded income from these assets will consequently be shifted from

revenues to share of income from investments in associates and joint-ventures. Revenues from the Mass Transit, Media, Property and Services

businesses accounted for 39.7%, 33.7%, 14.6% and 12.1% of total operating revenue, respectively.

Total consolidated expenses and SG&A reached THB 4,662.5mn in FY 15/16, an increase of THB 213.2mn or 4.8% YoY mainly from (1) recording

an allowance for diminution in value of investment of THB 497.2mn as other expenses for the year, (2) the net increase in selling and

administrative expenses of THB 383.9mn largely from expenses related to the transfers of assets under the property business restructuring

during 3Q 15/16, yet mostly offset by (3) a decline in cost of services of THB 379.7mn primarily from lower costs in the Media and Commercial

Property businesses (see details in Segmental Performance section) as well as (4) a reduction in cost of sales of real estate of THB 65.7mn

following the divestment of 50% shares in Nuvo Line to SIRI in October 2015.

Operating costs decreased by 17.0% YoY to THB 2,624.6mn. As operating costs decreased at a higher rate than the decline in operating revenues,

the Group operating gross profit margin6 improved to 57.3% from 55.5% in the previous year. As a result of the aforementioned changes, the

Group operating EBITDA7 was THB 2,560.0mn, a decrease of THB 276.2mn or 9.7% YoY. However, the operating EBITDA7 margin improved to

41.6% in FY 15/16 (versus 39.9% in FY 14/15) from higher contribution of higher margin Mass Transit business as well as from lower contribution

of Modern Trade Media businesses. Finance costs fell by 28.2% YoY or THB 113.8mn to THB 289.7mn primarily as the Group repaid the fourth

tranche of BTSC debentures (THB 1,468.9mn) during 2Q 15/16.

Other recurring profit8 fell by THB 1,126.8mn or 64.1% YoY to THB 632.0mn largely from the increase in share of net loss from investments in

joint ventures/associates (not including share of profit in BTSGIF) of THB 458.9mn, a reduced interest income as aforesaid as well as a decrease

in gain on sales of equity investments of THB 182.3mn in this year. Despite lower finance costs, pre-tax recurring profit8 for this year was THB

2,454.4mn, decreasing 34.2% YoY from THB 3,731.7mn in FY 14/15 as a result of lower operating revenue and the reduction in other recurring

profit. Reported income tax expense was THB 1,121.4mn (FY 14/15: THB 733.0mn) primarily from the income tax on gain on swap of investments

with U City.

Taking into account all the aforesaid transactions, the Group recorded a consolidated net profit of THB 4,406.7mn (increasing 31.9% YoY) and profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company of THB 4,141.1mn (increasing 40.7% YoY). Net profit margin9 attributable to the equity holders of the Company in FY 15/16 was 39.4% (versus 31.0% in FY 14/15) The improvement in net profit and net profit margin from previous year mainly due to the recognition of gain on swap of investments with U City and lower finance cost.

SEGMENTAL PERFORMANCE

MASS TRANSIT BUSINESS

Total Mass Transit revenue4 increased 7.4% YoY to THB 2,440.7mn supported by an increase in share of net profit from BTSGIF and higher O&M

income. O&M revenue rose by 2.8% or THB 44.0mn YoY to THB 1,593.3mn, mainly attributable to the contractually agreed increase in the

operating fee of Green Line – Sukhumvit extension and Silom extension.

Share of net profit from investment in BTSGIF in FY 15/16 increased by THB 123.1mn or 17.0% YoY to THB 847.4mn, which resulted from an

improved underlying core network performance. Fare-box revenue of the core system rose by 8.9% YoY or THB 523.1mn to THB 6,397.1mn

attributable to ridership growth and the increase in average fare. Total ridership peaked at 232.5mn trips, up 6.3% YoY mainly from organic

growth and low base effect last year from the political unrest. Average fare was THB 27.5 per trip, an increase of 2.4% YoY from the adjustment

in card promotions on the monthly passes in July 2015 and the discontinuation of discounts given to stored value rabbit cards in January 2016.

Cost of Mass Transit revenue increased by THB 50.1mn or 6.1% YoY to THB 865.4mn largely from higher repair and maintenance expenses and

wages. As operating cost increased at a lower rate than the increase in operating revenue, the operating EBITDA margin improved 65.4% YoY in

FY 15/16 (versus 64.8% in FY 14/15).

MEDIA BUSINESS

Slow economic growth continued to undermine business confidence and consumer spending. In a tough growth environment, businesses tend

to cut expenditures, and advertising expenditure is often one of the first expenses to be cut. Overall annual media spending fell 1.2% YoY. A

reduction in media spending usually intensifies competition among industry players. Revenue growth becomes challenging and margins may be

affected from package prices being slashed. In spite of this, VGI continued to see growth across its core business. Adjusted VGI revenue, excluding

the impact of the modern trade business termination, grew 3.1% YoY to THB 2,056mn.

Thai Annual Advertising Spending VS Media Revenue*

Sources: The Nielsen Company (Thailand) Limited * Adjusted VGI revenue to exclude Modern Trade media business

Total media revenue decreased by 29.3% YoY to THB 2,069.3mn primarily as a result of the discontinuation of Modern Trade Media business

reflecting a slow down in economic activities. However, the decrease was partially offset with Office Building and Other Media, which continued

to grow encouragingly by 38.0% YoY.

BTS-related Media revenue reached 1,773.7mn, decreased slightly by 0.1% from prior year. The growth in BTS-related media revenue was less

than expected as it faced challenges from overall media spending decline, nevertheless, in the future, we stand to benefit immensely from mass

transit network expansion over the long-run.

Modern Trade Media revenue was THB 49.5mn, a decline of 94.9% YoY from THB 972.1mn in the previous year. This business has been

discontinued since May 2015.

Office Building and Other Media revenue was THB 246.1mn, increasing 38.0% from THB 178.4mn in the previous year. Key growth drivers came

from the increase in additional office buildings, exceeding our target of 123 building by securing rights to 135 buildings. Revenue from Other

Media also increased YoY mainly from the commission fee for being a sole agent for Midas Global Media Limited.

Cost of revenue decreased 49.5% YoY or THB 586.8mn to THB 598.3mn mainly from the reduction in costs associated with the discontinuation

of Modern Trade Media. The decrease was partially offset with (1) an increase in maintenance cost of equipment and system for the new digital

media (Platform Truss LED, Platform Screen Door and E-Poster), (2) rental cost of digital screens at Victory Monument, (3) expenses from rights

to manage the media and merchandising spaces of the 7 new BTS extension stations and (4) higher depreciation of the new digital media installed

across the existing BTS SkyTrain network as well as in additional office buildings, static media and on the 7 BTS extension stations. As a result of

the discontinuation of the lower margin Modern Trade Media business, the operating EBITDA margin in this year improved to 64.0% (versus

52.3% in FY 14/15).

PROPERTY BUSINESS

On 20 April 2015, the company disposed all ordinary shares in two subsidiaries; (i) BTSA, the owner of Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn Bangkok

(“EGS”) and land plots at Phaholyothin Road and (ii) KKP, the owner of land plots at Phayathai Road, to U City. The fair value of investment was

THB 9,468.8mn and BTS Group received 35.64% of the newly issued ordinary shares as well as warrants of U City in exchange for the sale. BTS

Group recognised the net gain on swap of investments with U City of THB 2,516mn.

In 2015, the launch of the first three condominium projects (The Line Jatujak-Mochit, The Line Sukhumvit 71 and The Line Ratchathewi) under

the BTS-SIRI joint venture were successfully 100% sold out during 1-2 days of pre-sales period with total project value of THB 10.6bn. The

idiosyncrasies of Thai real estate accounting practices requires the Company to record a share of loss from BTS-SIRI joint ventures of THB 271.0mn

mainly from the selling and marketing expenses related to The Line projects, while revenues are to be booked later upon transfer of presold

units. The Line Sukhumvit 71 is expected to be transferred at the end of FY 16/17 with revenue recognition of approximately THB 2.0bn.

Property operating revenue was THB 896.5mn, decreasing 33.8% YoY from THB 1,354.8mn in FY 14/15 due to the reduction in both Residential

Property and Commercial Property revenue.

Residential Property revenue decreased by 27.2% YoY or THB 113.2mn to THB 302.4mn in FY 15/16. The decrease is mainly due to the lower

backlog of Abstracts Phahonyothin Park (Tower A) that was transferred during year compared to the previous year.

Commercial Property revenue was THB 593.6mn, a reduction of 36.3% YoY or THB 338.7mn mainly as a result of our disposal of EGS to U City

since 20 April 2015. Income from EGS will subsequently by recorded as share of income from investments in associates. However, the decrease

was partially offset with the increase in revenue from U Sathorn Hotel of THB 113.1mn. The Company recognised a share of loss from U City of

THB 144.0mn in FY 15/16.

Operating costs decreased 28.7% YoY or THB 218.1mn to THB 541.5mn mainly as there were lower costs related to the transfer of units of

Abstracts Phahonyothin Park (Tower A) as well as no costs related to EGS (following the disposal of the hotel to U City). Property SG&A expenses

also decreased by 35.9% YoY or THB 205.7mn to THB 367.7mn largely from the reduction in expenses related to Abstracts Phaholyothin Park

(Tower A) and EGS. The operating EBITDA margin dropped to 9.6% in FY 15/16 (13.4% in FY 14/15).

SERVICES BUSINESS

Services business revenue increased by THB 193.2mn or 35.3% YoY to THB 741.0mn. This increase was primarily due to (1) growth in services

revenue generated from development of fare callection system for mass transit by BPS which increased by THB 66.5mn YoY, (2) services revenue

generated from HHT construction which increased by THB 56.0mn YoY, (3) an increase in royalty fee and marketing Co-Promotion on Rabbit card

of THB 33.9mn YoY and (4) an increase in revenue from ChefMan Restaurants, which increased by THB 30.5mn or 9.8% YoY to THB 341.1mn.

Operating costs increased by 53.8% YoY or THB 216.5mn to THB 619.4mn. There was also THB 242.9mn of SG&A expenses, an increase of 29.6%

YoY. Key costs and SG&A items were mainly from food & beverage cost at ChefMan Restaurants, staff costs as well as from pre-opening marketing

and advertising campaigns of ChefMan Buffet branch at CentralWorld in February 2016.

FINANCIAL POSITION

(THB mn)

(THB mn)

Total assets as of 31 March 2016 stood at THB 65,168.7mn, a decrease of THB 1,641.6mn or 2.5% from 31 March 2015. Total current assets

stood at THB 10,285.3mn, decreasing by 60.4% or THB 15,716.6mn. The decrease was primarily attributed to (1) a reduction in cash and cash

equivalents of THB 7,747.3mn (see further details in Cash Flow section), (2) the decrease in “non-current assets classified as held for sale” of THB

4,576.2mn following the de-recognition of assets in relation to the disposal of shares in BTSA and KKP to U City on 20 April 2015, (3) a decline in

current investments of THB 1,705.2mn largely resulted from the reallocation from current investment to the investment in subsidiaries and BTS-

SIRI Joint Venture projects and (4) a decrease in real estate development costs of THB 1,610.7mn following the divestment of 50% shares in

Nuvo Line to SIRI in October 2015.

Total non-current assets was THB 54,883.4mn, an increase of 34.5% or THB 14,075.0mn primarily attributable to (1) an increase in investments

in associates of THB 7,008.0mn mainly from the 35.64% investment in U City (of THB 7,427.0mn) and (2) an increase in loans to related parties

of THB 5,189.4mn or 683.6% YoY mainly from long-term loans to Bayswater (THB 3,901.3mn) and BTS-SIRI Joint Venture projects, (3) an increase

in land and projects awaiting development of THB 1,019.3mn and (4) an increase in investment in joint ventures (up THB 524.1mn or 459.8%)

largely from the investments in BTS-SIRI Joint Venture projects.

Total liabilities increased from 31 March 2015 by 23.3% or THB 3,454.0mn to stand at THB 18,251.8mn largely due to (1) higher net loans from

financial institutions of THB 3,275.1mn, (2) an increase in bill of exchange payable of THB 2,917.3mn which was issued for Treasury Management

purposes. However, the increase was partially offset with (3) the fourth tranche repayment of BTSC debentures in August 2015 and (4) the

decrease in “liabilities directly associated with assets classified as held for sale” of THB 515.8mn mainly from the de-recognition of liabilities

(related to U City transaction).

Total equity decreased by THB 5,095.6mn or 9.8% to THB 46,916.9mn mainly attributable to (1) the increase in unappropriated deficit of THB
