BAT’s earnings momentum remained strong. 3Q18 earnings rose by 32% qoq to RM145.8m while gross margins leapt 6.6ppts, primarily driven by front-loading of sales over the remaining July-Aug GST-free period as speculation mounted on the SST’s price impact. Consequently, 9M18’s results stood above our expectations but tracked consensus estimates. Market share of illicit cigarettes also fell marginally during the quarter (from 63% to 62%), tying in with our view that the illicit trade has stagnated.
