Energy Mega ( 12M price target Rp300 )

Upstream dreams
Energi Mega is the only pure-play upstream Oil and Gas producer listed in Indonesia. The company is set to ride a wave of increased production and rising domestic gas prices. Management will continue to focus on organic growth and acquiring stakes in producing assets in Indonesia. The company’s balance sheet remains simpler than fellow Bakrie group companies with net debt to equity at 1x. We initiate coverage with a target price of Rp300/sh based on a blend of 5x 12CL/13CL EV/Ebitda and reserve based multiples.

Pure play upstream oil and gas producer
Energi Mega is the only pure play upstream oil and gas producer listed in Indonesia. All of its assets (both producing and greenfield) are in Indonesia. The company is the operator of most of its fields and works alongside international energy companies Inpex, Japex, CNOOC and fellow Indonesian national oil company Pertamina for its joint operations.

Riding a wave of volume and price increases
Energi Mega’s volumes this year will increase as the Kangean Terang field comes into operation and the company realises consolidation from its Dec 2011 purchase of a 19% working interest in the ONWJ block. Domestic gas prices in Indonesia are rising, directly benefiting upstream producers. An increasing proportion of revenues earned from gas raises the visibility of
earnings in future years.

Future acquisitions focussed on producing assets
Energi Mega has been active in acquiring assets at attractive valuations. Its latest acquisition was the purchase of a 19% stake in ONWJ from CNOOC in Dec 2011 at US$2/boe. The company will focus on acquiring stakes in producing assets close to concession expiry, leveraging its experience and relationship with regulators to secure contract extensions. Indonesia’s upstream regulator BPMigas has stated that local oil and gas companies will be given priority for contract extensions.

Initiate with Rp300/sh target price. Buy with 55% upside.
We value the stock on a blend of 5x 12CL/13CL EV/Ebitda and a reserve based valuation of US$300m for the 10% stake in Masela combined with US$7/2P reserve for producing assets. These multiples are line with regional and global peer averages. Our target price of Rp300/sh offers 55% upside to current levels. Initiate coverage with a Buy recommendation.
