Holcim Indonesia (Target price Rp2,750)
Below Expectations
1H12 earnings grew by 10% YoY. Holcim Indonesia (SMCB) booked a 1H12 net profit of IDR504b, up by 10% YoY, mainly supported by 18% YoY growth in revenue. The bottomline was below our expectations, constituting just 42% of our FY estimates. On the operating front, operating profit grew
by 11% YoY. On a quarterly basis, net profit grew by 2% QoQ to IDR255b.
Slight margin pressure due to rising costs. We expect gross profit margin will decline slightly to 37% in 2012 from 38% in 2011, as the cost/tonne is expected to rise by 4%. We think that SMCB will be able to
increase the average selling price by 3-4% this year to help offset the rising costs. Given its Java focus (74% of its sales are from Java) and strong demand from the region, we think that there may be an upside to the selling price. Margin should recover in 2013 given stabilising energy costs.
Tuban new plant to add capacity in 2013. SMCB has the excess capacity to grab market shares this year. We expect SMCB’s domestic sales to grow by 11% YoY in 2012 to 8.3m tonnes from 7.5m tonnes in 2011. There is an upside to our 10% volume forecast in 2013 given the additional capacity of 1.7m tonnes from its new plant in Tuban. Additional capacity is planned for 2016. We also expect the “Solusi Rumah” franchise network to grow, thus further supporting demand.
Healthy balance sheet. SMCB has been lowering its debt; it is expected to have a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.2x by the end of this year. Its capex is set to rise this year with the construction of the new Tuban plant. With manageable capex and plenty of cash, the company has been distributing a decent cash dividend: it recently raised its payout ratio from 21% to 40% this year, providing a dividend yield of around 2%.
Estimates tweaked, maintain HOLD. We maintain our TP of IDR2,750; however, we have tweaked our estimates to be in line with the company’s results. We raise our COGS estimate by 3% for FY12, thus lowering the bottomline by 4% (see the forecast changes in the table below). Our TP translates to an upside of only 0.9% from the current level. Reiterate HOLD.
