Company update:
Bumi Serpong Damai (BSDE IJ, BUY, TP: IDR2,650)
Proposes New USD Bond Issuance
Yesterday, Bisnis Indonesia reported that BSD is planning to issue new bonds in order to fund its refinancing and capex. The new bonds will have a longer tenor of seven years, and are expected to have a lower coupon rate. With an assumed new coupon rate of 5%, its cost savings pa could be around USD3.7m (IDR47.6bn). The stock is currently trading at a 61% discount to our estimated RNAV, implying 14.6x-12.8x P/Es for FY17F-18F. Maintain BUY, with an unchanged TP of IDR2,650 (19% upside).

      Refinancing its USD-denominated bond. Bumi Serpong Damai (BSD) is planning to call its USD-denominated bonds (worth USD225m, with a coupon rate of 6.75%) which are scheduled to mature in 2020, and has proposed to refinance it by issuing new USD-denominated bonds. The new bonds will set 2023 as the maturity date, which implies a longer tenor of seven years. It plans to use USD75m of the total proceeds to finance capex and working capital. While there are no further details on the size of the bonds to be issued and the new coupon rate, we can expect the amount to increase and the coupon rate to be lower.
      Our take. We are positive on the company’s plan to refinance its existing USD-denominated bonds, in light of the current trend of declining rates. It will also cut down the company’s interest costs. While Bank Indonesia cut the benchmark policy rate to 5% on 22 Sep, RHB economists expect the rate to be cut by another 50bps moving into 2017. Additionally, the strengthening of IDR against USD should also reduce the exchange rate risk.
      Calculating the cost savings. As the USD225m bonds are currently trading at a premium of 107.4%, this implies that its par value is USD209.5m with an interest expense of USD14.14m pa.
           If everything goes as planned and there are no changes made to the bonds’ size, lowering the coupon rate by 25bps should save the company USD520,000 pa in interest costs (Figure 1).
      Maintain BUY, with an unchanged TP of IDR2,650. We maintain our FY17F SOP-based TP of IDR2,650. The stock is still trading at a hefty 61% discount to our RNAV estimate of IDR5,310 per share. BSD remains as one of our Top Picks for the property sector, given its healthy balance sheet and sufficient large landbank that allows it to build properties that can cater to a broad range of buyers and budgets. Potential catalysts include possible commercial land lots that are still under negotiation being sold. Key risks to our call are lower-than-expected presales and a delay in the progress of construction projects.
