Indo Industrial Estate

Riding on growing FDI and rising middle income class

Strong macro condition and stable political outlook drive investment
We are initiating on the Indonesian industrial property segment with a positive outlook and a preference for the east side of Jakarta industrial estate and those with sizeable landbank or with the ability to procure additional landbank. Our preferred sectoral picks are Surya Semesta (SSIA JK, target price: Rp1,320) and Bekasi Fajar (BEST JK, target price:Rp555). Our positive view is predicated on strong and stable macroeconomic and political outlook, which in our view will continue to drive domestic consumption and hence investment.

Still in the early stage of investment cycle
Despite the strong investment growth in Indonesia (27-28% CAGR in 2006-2011), the country is still in the early stage of the investment cycle compared with other fast-growing countries in the region (especially those with large domestic markets such as China and India). Therefore, in line with our thesis on the doubling of GDP per capita by 2016 (exceeding USD6,000/capita), we also expect to see a significant increase in domestic consumption, which would therefore boost investment. This is evidenced by the automotive and consumer sectors’ expansion plans, which will support industrial land demand.

Lack of readily available industrial estate support pricing
Given the sudden surge in industrial land demand in 2H11 and underinvestment in the past, we are seeing lack of availability of developed saleable industrial landbank. This resulted in the continuous price increase (in 1Q12, when average industrial land price rose 15-20% QoQ). We think the robust pricing environment remains driven by strong demand. We forecast a 35-40%
YoY price increase in the east side of Jakarta estate in 2012 and 15% in 2013.

Indonesia’s big domestic market is a main competitive advantage
Indonesia’s population is 238m (fourth largest in the world) and the middle class accounts for 57%, up from 38% in 2003. We believe there is incentive for international manufacturers to expand into Indonesia, especially given the low consumption penetration across product segments. Furthermore, the cheap cost of labour could be an incentive for multinational companies to make Indonesia a regional production hub.

Valuation is attractive
We believe the Indonesian industrial estate players remain attractively valued, trading at 9.0x and 7.3x 2012-13E PER with a 23% discount to NAV compared with the Indonesian property sector that is trading at 22x and 18x 2012–13E PER with a 35% discount to NAV. Our preferred picks within the industrial property segment are SSIA and BEST. Key risks: 1) economic downturn, 2)
political instability (especially ahead of the 2014 election), 3) delay in infrastructure development, 4) pricing competition, and 5) inability to acquire additional landbank.
