EGM results
Quick Note
The results
The EGM on December 22, 2011 approved two things: 1) the appointment of the new President Commissioner and President Director of the company, and 2) the buyback of ~115.2mn shares (5% of outstanding shares) valued at IDR2,044.9bn (USD222.3mn) for 18 months.
Good for transition and asset security
The appointment of Mr. Milawarma as the new CEO and other new directors should be positive for PTBA’s transition process and growth given their long service (15-20 years) history at PTBA. The appointment of Mr. Patrialis Akbar, former minister of law and human rights, as the new President Commissioner is also positive, in our view, and should
help PTBA on the asset security front given the fact that PTBA had lost a legal case against the Lahat regent in October 2011.
Share buyback: Positive
We believe the share buyback plan is positive from the company’s capital management point of view and should be a positive catalyst for the share price as well. The use of internal cash for the buyback should not pose an issue for PTBA and its projects given its strong cash
balance of US$538mn, ungeared balance sheet and strong capital base
of US$656mn.
Buy rating maintained
We retain our Buy call on the stock and maintain our target price of IDR30,000 on strong and clean balance sheet, huge reserve base, steady railway volume growth, and significant upside potential from future projects. Having been down 24% in 2011, the share price,
currently at 9.2x 2012F earnings, looks attractive.
