PTBA on rail upgrade & mine mouth tonnage – NPAT 17% CAGR
2013-19CL
Key
points
· Indonesint
account deficit reached 4.2% of GDP in 2Q14. This worsening trend means the
newly elected govt have to action quickly. This include increasing power
generation from coal, to replace diesel. This is positive for PTBA that is
developing 2 mine mouth power plants, and sells 50% of its coal domestically.
Indonesia currently consumes only 80mt of thermal coal per year while exporting
330mt. Only 50% of Indonesia’s power is generated from coal, compared to 75% and
73% for China and India.
· The
mine mouth power plants (Banjarsari and Bangko), on top of railway upgrade that
starts to show success in 2Q14 are expected to lift PTBA’s sales tonnage from
18mt to 29mt. The mine mouth construction is expected to be complete in 4Q14
(for Banjarsari) and 4Q18 (for Bangko).
· This
is expected to drive revenue and NPAT to grow 11% and 17% CAGR from 2013-19CL.
We forecast that average sales price to fall in 14CL due to lower calorific
average from mine mouth power plant. We also increase our discount from
Newcastle from 16CL onwards in order to remain conservative with our price
estimate.
· We
value PTBA using the NAV from its mining operations and the 2 mine mouth power
plants that it is building. For the mining operation, we use the average DCF
(WACC 14%), P/E of 15x, and EV/Ebitda of 11x mid 16CL forecast. We lifted our
target price to Rp 18,000/sh (40% upside) and recommendation to a
BUY.
· Stock
is currently trading at P/E of 12.7x 15CL NPAT forecast.
