Company Update:
PP London Sumatra Indonesia (LSIP IJ; BUY (from Neutral); TP: IDR1,675)
Positives From Sale Of Idle Landbank

Lonsum is in the process of selling its idle landbank (125ha) in Cikupa to Indofood CBP. The sale is expected to be completed by end-2018. We are positive on the transaction, as there should be an additional FY18 cash inflow of IDR375bn, and a potentially higher dividend payout ratio on the back of a stronger net cash position, no significant capex and sizeable cash inflow from the sale. Upgrade to BUY (from Neutral) with a TP of IDR1,675 (from IDR1,400, 23% upside) due to a higher target P/E of 12.8x   (-0.2SD from its 11-year mean P/E, from 12x) on FY18F revised EPS. 


¨       Selling idle landbank of 125ha in Cikupa, Tangerang. London Sumatra (Lonsum) and its sister company, Indofood CBP (ICBP IJ, BUY, TP: IDR9,700) have entered into a sale and purchase agreement for the former’s idle landbank of 125ha, located in the Bojong and Budimulya villages, Tangerang (around 50km from Jakarta). The agreed price is IDR300,000 per sqm. The landbank sales is expected to be completed by 31 Dec 2018. According to its management, the landbank in the Cikupa area may only be suitable as an industrial area – which is not Lonsum’s main business.  
¨       Reasonable selling price. We deem the selling price as reasonable. Based on our observation on selling prices in Cikupa, the prices of land range from IDR150,000 up to IDR4mn per sqm. According to Licensed and Registered Public Appraisers (KJPP), the fair value of the idle landbank is around IDR317,000 per sqm.
¨       Positives: additional cash inflow and higher dividend payout ratio. The idle landbank has been listed in Lonsum’s balance sheet before the Indofood group acquired it in 2007. The sale should be positive for Lonsum, as it would see an additional cash inflow of around IDR375bn in 2018, and industrial estate companies’ EBITDA margins range from 20% to 70%.
¨       If we assume that it rakes in a profit margin of c.25% from the sale, this would imply an additional gain of around IDR94bn in its FY18F earnings (our previous FY18F earnings: IDR795bn). Also, its dividend payout ratio has the potential to keep growing – on the back of its net cash position, no significant capex and sizeable cash inflow from the sale of the idle landbank.
¨       Upgrade to BUY. We factored in the impact of the sale of the idle landbank and lift our TP to IDR1,675 (from IDR1,400), mostly on back of a higher target P/E of 12.8x (-0.2SD from its 11-year P/E mean). This is compared with our previous target P/E of 12x, on FY18F revised EPS. Our TP also implies an EV/ha of USD8,350, which is within the range of the EV/ha of Indonesian plantation companies. The completion of this sale would be a near-term catalyst for the share price, as it should boost its earnings, cash inflow and dividend.
¨       Key risks to our call  include weaker-than-expected demand for palm oil, and weaker-than-expected rubber prices.
