Good morning,

Summarecon Agung: Lower Gearing Is The Key
We remain cautious on Summarecon’s high gearing level, as weak GPMs from a change in sales mix may continue from lower-than-expected GPMs from new townships. And, following its presales target cut to IDR3.5trn and bad 3Q16 results, we lower our FY17F-18F earnings by 82%.Yet, coupled with the share price plunging~50% from its highest level, we believe the market has priced in the bearish views. Thus, we upgrade the counter to NEUTRAL (from Sell) with a slightly lower new IDR1,420 TP (from IDR1,480, 9% upside). Possible commercial land plot sales are likely to serve as the catalyst.
¨ Earnings to start improving in FY18.We remain cautious on Summarecon Agung (Summarecon). This is as its capital structure with total interest bearing debt is IDR7trn, ie a doubling of its gearing level to 1.18x in just three years, while its financial performance is expected to remain soft due to:
i. Weak property demand in FY16, which has forced Summarecon to tweak its presales target to IDR3.5trn – as such we expect flat revenue over the next two years;

ii. GPMs have also contracted to 46% (FY15: 52%) and are likely to remain flat with its new townships in Bandung and Karawang only yielding GPMs of 30-35% and 25% respectively;
iii. High interest costs and higher earnings attributable to non-controlling interests.
However, we expect improving earnings from FY18 onwards, thanks to lower final sales tax, a lower presales mix from apartment sales and more visible recovery on property demand in FY17. This would be led by tax amnesty initiatives and allowance for “off-plan” properties for second mortgages.
¨ Forecast change. We slash our FY17F-18F earnings by 82%, taking into account the reasons above. Nonetheless, we expect earnings to start growing conservatively by >10% in FY18 onwards. This is backed by a lower sales tax rate and decreased presales contributions from apartment sales. Our forecast has yet take into account possible sales from commercial land lots, which Summarecon advised may generate presale values of IDR175-350bn. If included, these potential sales should grow gross profit and net profit further by around 6% and41%respectively, assuming 60% GPMs and 35% net margins.
¨ Upgrade to NEUTRAL. We still believe lowering the gearing ratio ought to give Summarecon greater financial stability. With its cash flow mainly reliant on the presales performance of its development properties, selling more landed residential and commercial land lots may be a good strategy for now, bearing the risk of its ability to replenish its landbank. Nonetheless, the share price has plunged ~50% from its highest IDR1,940 level. This may reflect the market having priced in the bearish view. As such, we upgrade our stance to NEUTRAL (from Sell), with a new IDR1,420 TP (from IDR1,480) that is derived from a 52% discount to the estimated RNAV. (Lydia Suwandi)
