Borneo Lumbung Energy (BORN.IJ, UNDER REVIEW): To acquire stake
Yesterday the company announced a deal to acquire 23.8% stake in Bumi PlC from Bakrie & Brothers and Long Haul Holdings Limited (both are parts of Bakrie Group) at US$1b or approximately £10.91 a share, paid in cash. The company has signed Sales and Purchase Agreement on 31 October.
Analyst comment:
We understand with the acquisition Borneo will gain access to the growing thermal coal industry and some metal resources. We believe the acquisition will increase Borneo profile as a leading coal producer, which in turn will help it to market its relatively new coking coal products. Bumi Plc is a holding company which oversees coal production of c. 85m tons in FY11 or approximately 25% of Indonesia’s thermal coal output. Bumi Plc has subsidiaries under Bumi Resources Mineral which has reserves of iron ore in Mauritania as well as copper and goal in Sulawesi.
At the acquisition price, Borneo purchased Bumi Plc at 48% premium to closing price at 31 October 2011 of and 6% premium to the average of £10.33 in the last six month.
The acquisition will be financed through US$1b five‐year amortizing term loan facility provided by Standard Chartered Bank. As of end of September, Borneo has roughly US$200m cash with low gearing less than 0.08x. Adding US$1b loan will increase its gearing to 1.2x, still
reasonable in our view.
The transaction is subject to approval from at least 75% of shareholders present at EGM on 15 December 2011. We believe the acquisition plan is likely to pass trough shareholders’ approval. Currently Republik Energi & Metal, which essentially controlled by the President Director of Borneo Mr Samin Tan, owns 73% stake in Borneo.
We had TP of Rp1350 at Borneo Lumbung, pegging the stock at 11x FY12 P/E, before the deal announcement. We view the 47% premium to the average of the last 20 trading days to be expensive. Yesterday the stock price fell by 15%, suggesting investors view is not in favor to
the deal. We are reviewing our forecast and recommendation. Today the company will hold an analyst conference at 3pm Jakarta time.
