RHB Indonesia - Voksel Electric - Company Meeting Key Takeaways (Voksel Electric, Arwana Citramulia) Unknown Rabu, 15 Maret 2017




Good morning,

​Voksel Electric – Company Meeting Key Takeaways
  
Key takeaways from meeting with Voksel (VOKS IJ, NR):

Voksel is a cable producer with a wide range of products from electric cable to fiber optic and telecommunications cable.
Voksel has production capacity of 68,500MT/year of aluminum cable (80% utilisation rate), 21,000MT/year of copper cable(60% utilisation rate) and 1.8m fkm/year of fiber optic cable (60% utilisation rate). This year the company plans to increase capacity up to 20% by replacing existing machines with new and more efficient ones. Voksel’s capacity is bigger than its competitor, KMI Wire and Cables (KBLI IJ, NR) with 42k tones/year capacity (16k tones aluminum and 26k cooper). This year KMI plans to add additional 3k tones/year capacity for high voltage cable.

Voksel usually secure raw material contract with the supplier based on volume, while its price will be using spot price.
Electric cable contributes 75% of total revenue in FY16F, and will be increased to 80% this year as demand from PLN will be stronger.
As of 9M16, the company recorded IDR152bn net profit, improved from 23bn loss in 9M15, backed by lower raw material price in 4Q15 – 1H16, high demand from PLN. However, in FY16 Voksel will only book IDR160bn net profit. 4Q16’s result was dragged down by higher raw material price, bonus payment, and allowance of bad debt of IDR12bn.
In FY17F, Voksel aims 20% revenue growth with flat growth in net profit, due to stabilized gross margin to 16% -17%. Previously, its gross margin stood at 24.2% in 9M16, surging from 14.6% in 9M15.
The company’s gearing level stood at 0.5x with 30% of its debt is in foreign currency.
Currently, the company is trading at 7.8X FY17F PE, higher than KBLI’s current PE of 5.2x FY17F. Hence, we prefer KBLI over VOKS due to its cheaper valuation, stronger growth and more sustainable margin. (Dony Gunawan)
