RHB Indonesia - Bukit Asam - 3Q17 earnings above consensus (Bukit Asam, Bekasi Fajar) Unknown Kamis, 19 Oktober 2017


Good morning,

Bukit Asam – 3Q17 earnings above consensus

Bukit Asam posted its 3Q17 earnings which came above consensus. 9M17 earnings is 77% / 82% of RHB / consensus numbers

¨ 3Q17 earnings of IDR902bn (+165% YoY, +5.7% QoQ). Bukit Asam booked strong 3Q17 numbers, which was driven by higher revenue and profit margins.
¨ Gross margin expand to 40% in 3Q17 (vs 24% in 3Q16 vs 37% in 2Q17). We suspect higher profit margin due to higher ASP and manageable costs
¨ Maintain Buy with TP: IDR17,400. Bukit Asam is trading at P/E FY17 of 6.8x and FY18 of 5.8x, which is the cheapest in our coal universe.
¨ Key risk: potential unfavorable government policy on selling coal price for domestic power plants. (Hariyanto Wijaya, CFA, CPA, CMT)

Company Update:

Bekasi Fajar (BEST IJ, BUY, TP: IDR490), Waiting On Guidance For 9M17
We had a recent discussion with the management of Bekasi Fajar and learned that the company did not book any land sales during 3Q17, thus its marketing sales for 9M17 remains at 22.3ha which is still above estimates. In terms of marketing sales, we expect 4Q17 would be extremely important since historically, most of the marketing sales were booked during the fourth quarter. Guidance on the 9M17 financial results has yet to be given; the results are scheduled for publication at the end of this month. We reiterate our BUY call with a TP of IDR490 (74% upside). Currently the stock is trading at 6.5x FY17F P/E and an 83% discount to NAV.

¨ Focus on 4Q17. Although the company booked no land sales during 3Q17, overall the 9M17 marketing sales accounted for 66% of our full year target and above its four year historical average of 54% (Figure 1). In addition, this month in October, management signed a land sale for 7.3ha, to a Japanese electronics-related company for c.IDR2.7m/sqm. Based on this information, YTD marketing sales has reached 29.6ha and accounted for 87% from our full year target with an ASP of IDR2.65m/sqm reached YTD. Bekasi Fajar may be able to secure another 5-10ha of land sale in during the 4Q17 in order to reach its upper target of 40ha. We think this is doable because historically Bekasi Fajar booked c.46% of its marketing sales during the fourth quarter on the last four years. In addition, the company still has 53.7ha of remaining land inquiries from 10 companies.
¨ Divestment. We learned the company divested 31% of the warehouse held in JV at c.IDR193bn or approximately 14% premium to its acquisition cost. Management also indicated that the company would incur c.IDR50bn of gain before tax in the income statement from this divestment process. Operationally, the proceeds could be used for land acquisitions.
¨ We reiterate our BUY call based on a 17% CAGR for earnings in FY16-19F, on the expectations of an improved economic outlook that could lead to more demand for industrial land. The company’s main competitive advantage is the location in close proximity to Jakarta, Tanjung Priok seaport and the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. (Yualdo Tirtakencana)
