Company update:
Hexindo Adiperkasa (HEXA IJ, BUY, TP: IDR3,300),
Coal Price Recovery & Infrastructure Sales Lift Outlook

Hexindo’s share price still does not reflect its expected earnings recovery ahead (FY16-19F (Mar) CAGR of 36%) due to:
1.   Its heavy equipment unit’s gross margin turning positive again;

2.   Growth in heavy equipment sales to the infrastructure sector;
3.   A sizeable increase in revenue from its spareparts and service & maintenance segment,as the overhaul cycle willbeginin FY17 – which is also triggered by recovery in coal prices.
We tweak our assumptions and upgrade to BUY with a TP of IDR3,300 (from IDR1,200, 27% upside).
¨       Earnings to recover at a FY16F-19F CAGR of 36%.Hexindo Adiperkasa’s (Hexindo) accounting year ends in March. Its earnings peaked at USD72m in FY12 and declined thereafter, mainly from thedecrease in business volume stemming from thecontinuous downtrend in coal pricesuntil January. Around 60% of itsconsolidated revenue(FY16) iscoal-related. As coal prices are recovering and have increasedby 39%YTD, we think in FY16 it was the bottom of Hexindo’s earnings and it should see asizeable earnings recovery ahead.
¨       Heavy equipment unit rebounds and books positive gross margin again.Hexindo’s gross margin from heavy equipment salesstarted to decline when its inventory outstanding days exceeded 120 days in FY14. It hit a bottom in FY16when the companybooked a gross margin of -2.8% from selling heavy equipment. We expect its gross margin from heavy equipment sales to recover from FY17 onwards, as Hexindo has no more long outstanding inventory ofheavy equipment and its inventory is now precisely reflected in its balance sheet (Figure 1).
¨       Infrastructure spending to boost demand forheavy equipment.The Joko Widodo (Jokowi)-led Government is focusing on building infrastructure across Indonesia, which willboost heavy equipment sales to the infrastructure sector.
¨       Overhaul cycle of mining heavy equipment should start inFY17.In FY12, Hexindo booked significant heavy equipment sales of USD477m, of which 930 of a total 3,084 units were sold to the mining sector. Heavy equipment needs to undergo an overhaul after 15,000 working hours.We think the mining heavy equipment should enter an overhaul cycle in FY17, which will boost revenue from service & maintenance and spareparts sales.
¨       Upgrade to BUY with a IDR3,300 TP.We fine-tune our assumptions and increase our FY17forecast by 34%. Upgrade to BUY from Neutral, with a DCF-derived TP of IDR3,300 (WACC: 14.1%, long-term growth: 2.0%) asits share price still does not reflect a sizeable recovery in Hexindo’s earnings ahead.
¨       Our TP implies a FY18F P/E of 12.9x (-0.4 SD from its 5-year mean P/E).
¨       Key risks to our call include weaker-than-expected demand for coal and a significant decrease in coal prices.
