RHB Indonesia - Indonesian Government plans to restrict coal exports in 2019 Unknown Kamis, 18 Mei 2017




Good morning,

Indonesian Government plans to restrict coal exports in 2019
Jakarta Post cited Sri Raharjo, the coal and mineral program supervision director at the energy and mineral resources ministry, that Indonesian Government plans to tighten coal export policy starting 2019 in order to preserve coal supply for domestic power generation amid growing demand in Southeast Asia.


According to the Government, domestic consumption on coal is expected to soar to 240m tonnes in 2019 from 111m tonnes in 2016. The Government plans to restrict production to 400m tonnes in 2019 from 419m tonnes in 2016. Indonesia may complete additional capacity of the 35,000MW power plants program by 2021 or 2022.

Comment:

If the Government succeeds in limiting coal export volume in order to fulfill increasing domestic coal demand, this should be positive for coal price as Indonesia and Australia are the two largest coal exporters.

In coal sector, We like Bukit Asam (PTBA IJ, Buy, TP:IDR17,600) due to its higher earnings visibility. Being the only listed state-owned-enterprise (SOE) coal mining company, it benefits from the synergy between SOEs, which leads to continual increase in coal sales volumes due to the long-term domestic coal commitments.

We also like Delta Dunia (DOID IJ, Buy, TP:IDR1,500) because of: 1) Sizable forecast earnings growth; 2) Undemanding valuations – it is trading at FY17F P/E of 6.0x and EV/EBITDA of 3.5x. By comparison, its closest peer, United Tractors is trading at FY17F P/E of 13.4x and EV/EBITDA of 6.0x. 3) Inclusion into MSCI Small Cap Index effective after the end of trading period on 31 May 2017.

Company Update:

Kino Indonesia (KINO IJ, NR) – Key takeaway from 1Q17 Public Expose
We attended the public expose of Kino Indonesia (KINO IJ, NR) on Wednesday (17/7). Here are the key takeaways:

¨ Kino Indonesia targets a rather flat revenue growth of 3% in 2017 amidst challenging business conditions. In 1Q17, revenue declined by 22% YoY to IDR670bn; consistently decreasing from 3Q16. There is limited sign of a turnaround with intense competition and lower consumer spending for discretionary products contributing to the weak economy.
¨ Revenue mix is expected to remain unchanged in 2017, with the personal care and beverage products as its major contributors. These two divisions supply >80% of revenues combined, which dropped by 28% and 11% YoY respectively in 1Q17. No new breakthrough products are announced from the two divisions. The company will also try to penetrate the e-commerce segment with a new product, but we see limited uplift from this action.
¨ Going forward, the company expects to increase its export sales to 3-4% of revenues, and the recently-acquired Dua Putri – a herbal drinks company – to boost its revenues in 2017.
¨ The company hopes to improve its margins by cutting its manpower and logistic costs. Its operating margin slumped by 844bps to 2.6% in 1Q17 due to the resistant nature of its operating costs and lower revenue. We currently do not have a rating for the stock. (Michael Halim)
