Wijaya Karya (WIKA IJ)



WIKA Beton IPO kicks off
§ Maintain BUY with TP of IDR2,500 as WIKA Beton’s IDR1t- IDR1.3t IPO set to raise WIKA’s margin profile and support 21% earnings CAGR in 2014F-2015F.
§ Positive interest in the IPO will likely result in a mid-high end valuation range of 16.5x-18x (2014 PE) or 8-16% discount to WIKA’s current PE of 19.9x.
§ WIKA Beton main beneficiary of Indonesia’s growing construction works.

What’s new
WIKA Beton, WIKA’s precast concrete subsidiary, has opened its IPO with price range of IDR470-IDR630 per share, translating to 14x- 18.8x 2014 PE. WIKA Beton will issue 2.1b new shares representing 23.47% of share capital. WIKA Beton is currently the largest domestic precast manufacturer with total installed capacity of 2m tons. From 2010-2013 it had robust 31% earnings CAGR. With total proceeds of around IDR1t-IDR1.3t, WIKA Beton plans to expand its
existing capacity by 30% to 2.6m tons by 2015F. Recall that WIKA Beton has a higher gross margin of 13%-15% compared to 10-11% in general construction services segment.
What’s our view
Given the high interest in WIKA Beton’s IPO, valuation is likely to be in the mid-high end range of 16.5x-18x 2014 PE. This translates to 8%-16% discount to WIKA’s current valuation of 19.9x. While there could be a potential switch from WIKA to WIKA Beton on lower valuation and higher margin profile, we believe that the impact to WIKA’s share price will be temporary. This is partially
due to strong demand in the IPO which could result in competitive allocations to investors, causing further accumulation on WIKA for exposure to WIKA Beton. Overall, WIKA Beton’s expansion plans (40% contribution to WIKA’s earnings) should remain supportive on our estimated 21% earnings CAGR in 2014F-2015F. Maintain BUY with unchanged TP of IDR2,500, pegged 2014 PE of 22x.
