Company update:
Hexindo Adiperkasa (HEXA IJ, BUY, TP: IDR3,500),
A Substantial Dividend Yield Of 56%

Hexindo will distribute an extraordinary dividend, with total DPS of USD0.1262, implying a dividend yield of 56%. Post-extraordinary dividend, its unappropriated retained earnings will decline by half. This will improve its FY18F ROAE to 11.3%. Management expects FY17F earnings to surge sizably. We fine-tune our forecasts and reiterate our BUY call. Our revised TP of IDR3,500 (from IDR3,300, 21% upside) implies FY18F P/E of 13.9x(-0.2SD from its 5-year mean P/E).

¨       Extraordinary dividend yield of 56%, cum date is 4 Oct. At Hexindo Adiperkasa’s (Hexindo) AGM yesterday, it announced an extraordinary dividend totalling USD106m. This translates to DPS of USD0.1262, anda substantial dividend yield of 56%.
¨       To resume payout of 35% going forward. The total dividend comprises USD5.9m from FY16 (Mar) earnings and USD100m from unappropriated retained earnings. As of June, its balance sheet contained unappropriated retained earnings of USD196.2m. Based on our discussion with management, Hexindo will resume its dividend payout ratio of 35% moving forward.
¨       FY18F ROAEto rise to 11.3%. Post-extraordinary dividend of USD100m, Hexindo’s unappropriated retained earnings will shrink by 50%. This will lift its FY18F ROAE to 11.3% from 6.6% (prior to extraordinary dividend).
¨       FY17F earnings to surge 60%YoY.Management has guided for earnings to grow to USD12m in FY17. It expects earnings growth to be driven largely from positive gross margins recorded at the heavy equipment sales division (vs a gross loss margin of 2.8% in FY16, due to clearance sales on long outstanding heavy equipment inventory).
¨       Heavy equipment demand from mining is recovering. Based on our discussion with Hexindo’s marketing director, Mr Djonggi Gultom, the key driver of heavy equipment demand this year is mostly still the construction sector. However, heavy equipment demand from the mining sector is improving – although this is for medium-sized units and not giant-sized equipment.
¨       Still a BUY. We fine-tune our forecasts to reflect the higher-than-expected dividend payout, and pare down our FY17F-19F earnings by 1.6-2.6%. We reiterate our BUY call, while our revised TP of IDR3,500 (WACC: 11.9%, long-term growth rate: 2.0%) implies FY18F P/E of 13.9x, or -0.2 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.
