RHB Indonesia - Bank Rakyat Indonesia - More Room For Improvement (Bank Rakyat Indonesia, Arwana Citramulia) Unknown Jumat, 04 Agustus 2017




Good morning,

Bank Rakyat Indonesia – More Room For Improvement

We maintain our BUY call and GGM-derived IDR16,500 TP (11% upside) on the back of BRI’s strategy to focus on micro lending. The KUR programme would not cause an overhang, in our view, since BRI can still disburse loans through its regular micro lending product KUPEDES. Additionally, BRI Link, its branchless banking agent that also facilitates micro borrowers, utilises BRI’s e-banking network through the fee sharing scheme. That said, we expect its fee income to contribute a greater portion (12.9%) to operating income in FY18 (1H17: 10.7%).

¨ Still focused on micro lending. Despite increasing competition in this segment, we believe Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) is still in a leading position due to its extensive know-how in this field, which cannot easily be duplicated by rivals. Gross NPL ratio for this segment was at a manageable 1.5% as of June. As such, we expect its exposure to micro lending to increase to 34.1% of its loan book by end-2018.
¨ Funding mixture has room to improve. Given the substantial portion of micro lending in its loan book, it should be able to manage its NIMs, which are well above the industry average. Yet, we believe that, going forward, BRI would need to improve its funding structure in order to minimise further NIM compression. With over 36m micro savings accounts, BRI has already a decent customer base of CASA deposits. Meanwhile, for current accounts, BRI aims to grow its institutional clients. All in, we expect CASA deposits to reach 61.2% of total customer deposits by the end of 2018.
¨ Expect higher contributions from fee income. With a strong retail-based business model, we expect BRI to book higher fee income contributions to its numbers, moving forward. Payment services and e-banking related fees would also be two key fee income contributors, due to the utilisation of BRI Link Agent as part of its branchless banking infrastucture. BRI applies equal fee sharing income with BRI Link Agent when providing several banking services, ranging from money transfers to utilities payments. As such, we expect its fee income to grow 20% YoY next year, resulting in a 12.9% contribution to total operating income.
¨ BUY, with a IDR16,500 TP. We maintain our BUY recommendation and GGM-derived TP of IDR16,500, which also implies 2.2x 2018F P/BV. Our TP also reflects the following assumptions: 9.9% CoE, 18.1% sustainable ROAE and 3% long-term growth. BRI is our Top Pick for Indonesia’s big-cap banking stocks.
¨ Risks. Downside risks to our call are are higher-than-expected exposure to the KUR programme and higher-than-expected credit costs in providing an ample LLC ratio. (Eka Savitri)

Arwana Citramulia (ARNA IJ, BUY, TP: IDR550), Robust July sales
On phone call with Arwana, the company indicated its July sales jumped to 4.4m sqm (+49% MoM, +83% YoY), partly driven by sales seasonality. Despite the five-day holiday during the month, July sales were almost same level with average monthly sales in 1Q17 when Arwana’s monthly sales reached its previous peak. This indicated that average daily sales in July were higher than that in 1Q17.

Arwana said that UNO, Regular, and Best Buy accounted for 40%, 16%, and 44% of total sales, the same as 2Q17 sales contribution.

We maintain BUY with a DCF-derived TP of IDR550 (24% upside), which implies 25x/17x FY17F/18F P/Es respectively. (Andrey Wijaya)
