Good morning,

Bumi Serpong Damai – Expect Its Performance To Stay Level In 2H17

BSD’s 1H17 earnings came in above our and consensus expectations. Most of the revenue growth came from land sales, of which 50% were made to its JV with Mitsubishi. We expect the company to maintain its performance in 2H17. Currently, the counter is trading at 13.3x FY17F P/E and at a 67% discount to its NAV. Maintain BUY, with an unchanged TP of IDR2,650 (51% upside). The key risks to our call are weak presales, delays in project delivery and changes in government regulations affecting the real estate sector.


¨ Above expectations. Bumi Serpong Damai’s (BSD) 1H17 revenue of IDR4,213bn (+47% YoY) came in above forecasts, at 60% of our full-year projection and 55% of the consensus estimate.
Revenue growth was driven by residential (+39% YoY) and land plot sales (+128% YoY). This, combined with opex efficiency, resulted in earnings of IDR2,010bn (+145% YoY).
For 2Q17, earnings of IDR1,277bn (+74% QoQ) was on the back of a 40% QoQ revenue growth that mostly stemmed from land sales. Land sales accounted for 58% of total revenue, including a IDR683bn land sale to a Mitsubishi joint venture (JV) firm. Earnings growth was also helped by lower COGS for the quarter, which in turn came from residential revenue decreasing 63% QoQ.
With the overall improvement in numbers, GPM for 2Q17 widened to 78% (+1,091bps QoQ), causing its net margin to rise 1,013bps QoQ to 51.9%.
¨ Balance sheet remains healthy. BSD managed to maintain a healthy balance sheet, with a gross D/E ratio of 32.4% and net gearing at 12%. This provides it with ample muscle to leverage on for the future.
¨ 2H17 project pipeline. BSD’s YTD presales of IDR2,519bn were at only 35% and 33% of its and our estimates respectively. Nonetheless, management’s target and confidence are intact, with plans to close large commercial land plot sales worth IDR1.5trn in 2H17, as well as other new project launches. The next project launch will be the Aksara sub-cluster, which is inside the Vanya Park cluster. This launch, slated in August, is targeted to garner proceeds of c.IDR200bn. The project will be launched in two phases. The houses will range from 60 sqm to 120 sqm per unit, with prices ranging IDR1.29-2.6bn a piece.
¨ We maintain our BUY call on the back of a 25% CAGR net profit growth forecasted for FY16-19, as well as expectations of an improvement in the real estate sector from this year onwards. Currently, the counter is trading at 13.3x 2017F P/E and a 67% discount to RNAV. BSD remains our top sector pick.
¨ Risks to our call are weak presales, project delivery delays and changes to government regulations affecting the sector. (Yualdo Tirtakencana)

Results Review:

XL Axiata (EXCL IJ, BUY, TP: IDR3,700), Upbeat On Better Data Monetisation
XL posted a strong QoQ revenue, EBITDA and net profit growth of 7.6%, 12.3% and 107.8% respectively due to a surge in mobile data revenue and mild ARPU improvement. We remain upbeat on its growth momentum due to the sector’s growing emphasis on data price repair. We also see positive signs from the company’s earlier data centric transformation that led to an improved data monetisation, better subscriber quality and ultimately, higher profitability. We maintain our BUY recommendation and DCF-based TP of IDR3,700 (13% upside).

¨ Better data monetisation. XL Axiata’s (XL) quarterly results were in line with ours/consensus’ expectations. We attribute the good quarterly performance to the improved data monetisation and healthy subscriber growth (net adds of 2.5m in 2Q17). The highlight is the high data revenue growth at 19.4% QoQ and 77.1% YoY, on the back of QoQ and YoY data traffic growth of 29.6 and 172% respectively. This led to a higher EBITDA margin of 36.6% (1Q17: 35.1%).
This in turn translated into a stronger bottomline, which grew 107.8% QoQ and 75.7% YoY. Blended ARPU increased slightly to IDR34,000 (1Q17:IDR33,000) on the back of a further 8% erosion of data yields (1Q17:IDR11,200/GB), 2Q17:IDR10,300/GB). We believe this is a good sign, as subscribers (subs) have been reloading more frequently and upsizing their data packages on higher data usages.
¨ Stronger market positioning should sustain revenue growth rate. Given the similar data traffic growth profile, XL’s mobile internet revenue growth has outpaced the market leader. We attributed this to XL’s highest smartphone penetration rate of 67% and stronger market positioning that led to improved subscriber quality (XL targeted the savvy white-collar workers, most of whom are 4G phone users that want a good data price and decent network quality).
The company may have carved out a niche in the market that has led to stronger data pricing power. The company should be able to maintain ARPU and eventually increase it over the immediate to medium term given the sector’s growing urgency on data price repair.
¨ Questions on results call mostly on ex-Java market. Most questions were on the dynamics of the ex-Java market penetration and entry costs. Management did not share a clear breakdown for ex-Java. However, it guided similar marketing expenses of 7-7.5% over full year revenue and maintained its high single digit revenue target, high 30s-level EBITDA margin and capex guidance of IDR7trn for FY17F.
¨ Reiterate BUY. Our IDR3,700 TP implies a 5.5x FY18F EV/EBITDA. Coming from a low base of FY16, we expect XL to better monetise its 4G network, regaining some market share with the rollout of U900 and a better marketing campaign. Main downside risks are the resurgence of an irrational pricing behaviour of the market and higher-than-expected entry costs into the ex-Java market. (Norman Choong, CFA, Jeffrey Tan)


Unilever Indonesia (UNVR IJ, Neutral, TP: IDR48,500), Solid Earnings Growth Likely To Continue
Unilever booked solid earnings growth for 1H17, driven by its food & refreshment segment’s wider EBIT margin. Its results are in line with our expectations. 2Q17 earnings declined QoQ, driven by higher G&A expenses stemming from the extra 1-month salary given to workers as Lebaran allowance. We think the company’s earnings growth is likely to accelerate in the following quarters, driven by lower opex. However, we keep our NEUTRAL call, due to its rich valuation. Our unchanged DCF-based TP of IDR48,500 (1% downside) implies 52x FY17F P/E.

¨ Solid 1H17 earnings. Unilever’s 1H17 earnings of IDR3.6trn (+9.9% YoY) are in line, and account for 50% of our and consensus full-year estimates.
2Q17 earnings declined to IDR1.7trn (-15.2% QoQ). We believe this was driven by higher G&A expenses that stemmed from the extra 1-month salary for its workers’ Lebaran allowance. Additionally, 2Q17 sales dipped 3.9% QoQ, likely due to the shorter working days during the quarter. Looking ahead, the company’s quarterly earnings are likely to recover in the following quarters.
¨ Food & refreshment segment boosted earnings. Unilever’s food & refreshment segment booked slightly higher sales of IDR3.6trn (+2% QoQ), despite 2Q17 having shorter working days and the rising competition in ice cream products. This was attributed to its effective marketing strategies.
In addition, its food & refreshment unit’s EBIT margin (before unallocated expenses) stayed at 19.9% in 2Q17 (1Q17: 20.8%). We think this was likely driven by a decline in input costs. Its food & refreshment segment’s 2Q17 EBIT margin was much higher than 2Q16’s 10.9%.
¨ Likely to maintain solid earnings. We believe Unilever is likely to maintain its robust performance in the following quarters, driven by its strong product innovation and solid marketing strategy. In addition, G&A expenses are likely to decline, in the absence of the Lebaran allowance which was paid in June.
¨ Still NEUTRAL. Despite having a promising earnings growth outlook, Unilever is currently trading at rich valuation levels, ie 52x/47x FY17F/FY18F P/Es. As such, we reiterate our NEUTRAL call on the stock. Our unchanged DCF-based TP of IDR48,500 also reflects 52x FY17F P/E.
Key downside risks to our call include the difficulty in passing on cost increases to customers. A slowdown in consumption and weak consumer sentiment has led consumers to become more selective. Upside risks to our call include huge government spending which is usually heavier in 2H. Faster-than-expected government spending would have a multiplier impact on consumer income, which would then boost consumer spending on Unilever products. (Andrey Wijaya)



Alam Sutera (ASRI IJ, BUY, TP: IDR540), Positive Surprise Following a Weak 1Q17
Alam Sutera posted strong results in 1H17, where revenue accounted for 53% and 50% of our and consensus estimates respectively. Net profit achievement was at 80% and 79% of our and consensus expectations respectively. Most of the growth was driven by the accounting recognition from last year’s marketing sale to CFLD. We conservatively maintain our assumptions, BUY call and IDR540 TP (68% upside), which implies a 50% discount to NAV.

¨ Strong results give positive surprises. Alam Sutera Realty’s (Alam Sutera) 1H17 revenue grew 31% YoY. This was mostly driven by land lot (kavling) revenue that rose 56% YoY. This was as 40-50% of last year’s presale to China Fortune Land Development Co Ltd (CFLD) has been recognised in the company’s accounting revenue. However, YoY revenue from the houses, hospitality and tourism sectors declined by 10%, 2% and 10% respectively. Overall, net profit grew 31% YoY to IDR710bn, ie above our expectation.
In 2Q17, revenue was up 40% QoQ on the back of land lot sales (Figure 4), while revenue from the houses business tumbled by 82% QoQ – Alam Sutera only managed to sell 25 units (1Q17: 271 units sold). However, the decline in house revenue in turn caused lower COGS and, combined with opex efficiency, led to a net profit of IDR534bn (+203% QoQ).
¨ Margins to normalise. Supported by the high achievement in land lot sales, 2Q17 gross margin increased to 79% (+2,970bps QoQ). This caused net margin to widen to 54% (+2,923bps QoQ). However, management has acknowledged such high GPM – driven by high land lot revenue – may not be sustainable in the coming quarters. It guided for overall GPM at ~50-60%, in line with our assumptions.
¨ 2H17 pipelines. Alam Sutera’s YTD presales of IDR895bn were only at 24% and 18% of our and the company’s targets respectively. Nonetheless, management is maintaining its aim, with several plans to achieve its target. These include:
                      i.        IDR1trn in land lot sales to CFLD as part of a 5-year agreement;
                     ii.        IDR2trn in new project launches (ie Pasar Kemis and the Alam Sutera township);
                     iii.        IDR2trn for The Tower office tower project in Jakarta;
                    iv.        IDR500bn in commercial land/The Prominence Office Tower.
¨ Valuation remains attractive. Currently the stock is trading at 7.1x FY17F P/E and a 72% discount to NAV or 1.4SD below its average trading mean (Figure 6). We maintain our BUY call and IDR540 TP (68% upside). This implies a 50% discount to RNAV on the back of CAGR earnings growth of 27% in FY16-19F. Risks to our call include weak presales, project delivery delays, and changes to government regulations that affect the sector. (Yualdo Tirtakencana)



Intiland Development (DILD IJ, Neutral, TP: IDR400), All Priced In

We lower Intiland’s FY17F-18F earnings despite its high industrial estate achievements. We are more conservative on its residential and high-rise presales, and declining historical presales, which leads to lower revenue recognition. Downgrade to NEUTRAL (from Buy) and IDR400 TP (from IDR675, 1% downside). As it is now trading at 15.6x FY17F P/E – a 14% premium to mean P/E and 58% discount to NAV – it is fairly valued and warrants this call, in our view. Risks to our call are weaker presales, project delivery delays, and higher-than-expected future presales.

¨ 1H17 driven by industrial estates. Intiland Development (Intiland) booked a 1H17 net profit of IDR188bn (+25% YoY, +754% QoQ), accounting for 53% and 34% of our and consensus’ initial estimates respectively. Revenue growth for this period (+19% YoY, +136% QoQ) was mostly driven by higher recognition from the industrial estate segment, which sold 28.3ha of industrial land in total (for c.IDR531bn) and contributed 51% of revenue. This was fully recognised into accounting revenue by Intiland in the first semester.
High achievements from the industrial segment lifted 2Q17 GPM to 44% (2Q16: 42%), which brought a net margin of 18% for this quarter (2Q16: 9%). Industrials estate buyers in 1H17 included a household furniture firm (2.7ha), an animal feed firm (1.2ha), PT Toyota Astra Motor (20.3ha), and an ice cream manufacturer (4.1ha). Meanwhile, YTD presales stood at IDR1.1trn, which accounts for 47% of our initial target of IDR2.35trn.
¨ 2H17 projects pipeline. Intiland is set to finally launch the long-awaited Kebon Melati project (slated for 26 Aug) with target proceeds of IDR520bn. This project features two apartment towers with an estimated 470 units available for sale. However, the company plans to launch Tower 1 in 2H17, with the possibility of extending the offer for Tower 2 depending on market demand. Other projects in the pipeline include IDR227bn from the Darmo Harapan project and IDR70bn from the Quantum cluster in Serenia Hills.
¨ Forecast revision. Although both presale and financial results were in line with our initial forecasts, we lower our FY17F-18F presales to IDR1,958bn and IDR2,460bn respectively. Based on our channel checks, there would be less or no contributions from the industrial segment in 2H17, while 1H17 residential and high-rise presales achievements were soft. Going forward, it would be challenging to replicate such high industrial presales, unless Intiland manages to approach several anchor tenants of a similar calibre to Toyota Astra Motor. Taking these into account, we conservatively estimate for lower FY17F (-17%) and FY18F (-31%) revenue. This leads us to lower our net income assumptions by 24% (FY17) and 66% (FY18) respectively. We also expect GPM to normalise ~45% due to lower industrial achievements in the future.
¨ Downgrade to NEUTRAL (from Buy), with a IDR400 TP (from IDR675) that implies a 58% discount to RNAV. It is trading at a 14% premium to its 5-year average P/E of 13.6x and 58% discount to NAV, which looks fairly valued for now. Risks to our call are weaker presales, project delivery delays, and higher-than-expected future presales. This report marks the transfer of coverage to Yualdo Tirtakencana Yudoprawiro.

Semen Indonesia’s 1H17 earning down 44% YoY, below expectation
Semen Indonesia’s 1H17 earning came in at IDR1trn (-44% YoY), below expectation, made up merely 28% and 30% of our and consensus full-year estimates.

QoQ basis, 2Q17 earning declined to IDR346bn (-54% QoQ), which partly driven by lower sales volume (-4% QoQ), as well as higher operational expenses. Notably, Semen Indonesia raised 2Q17 ASP to IDR937,000/tonnes (+3% QoQ) to pass on higher production costs. Notably. 2Q17 GPM maintained at 30.3% (1Q17: 30.4%). However, opex per unit increased to IDR177,000/tonne (+19% QoQ) which we believe, mainly driven by expenses for the Lebaran allowance.

We see that sales growth to accelerate in 2H17, in line higher government infrastructure projects. We reiterate Neutral with DCF-based TP of IDR9,800 (3% downside), implies FY17F P/E of 15x. (Andrey Wijaya)


Indocement’s 1H17 earning declined 63% YoY, below expectation
Indocement’s 1H17 earnings fell to IDR902bn (-63% YoY), below expectation, achieved merely 29% and 28% of our and consensus full-year estimates.

QoQ basis, 2Q17 earnings declined to IDR411bn (-17% QoQ) which was driven by lower sales volume (-3% QoQ), lower ASP (-3% QoQ), and higher operational cost/tonne (+7% QoQ). These caused 2Q17 EBIT margin narrowed to 12.3% (1Q17: 14.8%).

We reiterate Sell with DCF-based TP of IDR12,800 (38% downside), implying 15x FY17F P/E. (Andrey Wijaya)


Economics Update:

June M2 Growth Continues Uptrend, Loan Growth Moderates
Indonesia’s money supply (M2) growth edged up to 11.4% YoY in June (May: +11.1%) due to a pick-up in net domestic claims. Going forward, we expect broad money supply to grow at a faster pace of 11% in 2017 (2016: +10%), underpinned by stronger economic growth.

Private credit moderated. Total loan growth eased in June, due to weaker growth in working capital and investment loans. Going forward, we expect demand for private credit to pick up to 12% in 2017 (2016: +7.8%), aided by:
i. A more accommodative policy environment following monetary policy easing in 2016;
ii. Stronger projected economic growth.

Meanwhile, consumption credit rose in June due to AidilFitri festivities, despite lower consumer confidence during the month.
Deposit growth, however, eased, as savings and demand deposits recorded slower increases in June.
The key policy rate is likely to be maintained. We expect Bank Indonesia (BI) to maintain its key policy rate at 4.75%, as inflation is likely to remain manageable.

IDR strengthened against the USD. The domestic currency strengthened against its US counterpart. This was after strengthening in May, as capital inflows returned after Standard & Poor’s (S&P) upgraded Indonesia’s credit rating. Hence, we expect the IDR to remain strong and trade towards 13,300/USD by end-2017. (Rizki Fajar)
