Nestlé Resumes Palm Oil Purchases from SMART.Tbk

Jakarta, 15 September 2011 – PT SMART Tbk (SMART) is pleased to announce that Nestlé has placed an order to resume palm oil purchases from the company. SMART views this order as an acknowledgement of its on-going sustainability commitments and efforts to find solutions to continuously produce palm oil in a sustainable, environmentally and socially responsible manner.
 
In May 2010, Nestlé, together with international NGO, The Forest Trust (TFT) announced Responsible Sourcing Guidelines (RSGs), a set of critical requirements to guide the Nestlé procurement process and to ensure compliance with the Nestlé Supplier Code. In late 2010, SMART’s parent company Golden Agri-Resources (GAR) developed a joint action plan with TFT to help GAR ensure that its subsidiaries could meet the Nestlé RSGrequirements. To ensure that  oil delivered to Nestlé meets the RSG requirements, the plantations supplying Nestlé were subject to TFT assessments. SMART then implemented innovative processes and supply chain controls to ensure that the delivered oil is fully traceable from the supplying plantations, through processing and transportation to the Nestlé factory in Indonesia. This full traceability across the supply chain has been further  audited by Nestlé-appointed international agency, TÜV Rheinland Group.
 
Mr Daud Dharsono, President Director of SMART said: “We welcome Nestlé’s decision which is an acknowledgement of our sustainability efforts. This represents an important milestone in our journey toward the continuous production of sustainable palm oil. Sustainability is an on-going journey and we are committed to managing the environment responsibly and empowering communities. We believe that our achievement of full traceability with this order is another significant milestone.” GAR has also been working with TFT on the implementation of a Forest Conservation Policy (FCP) which aims to ensure that GAR has no deforestation footprint and also seeks to achieve long-term sustainable growth for GAR and the palm oil industry. The FCP focuses on there being no development on High Carbon Stock (HCS) forests, where a provisional definition of exceeding 35 tonnes of carbon per hectare will be used as HCS forest definition; no

Bisi International: Company Visit -Volatile Margins


Company at a glance. Established in 1983 by the Charoen Pokhpand Group, Bisi International (BISI) is Indonesia’s largest producer of hybrid seeds for corn, rice, vegetables and fruit segmented to the domestic market. BISI also has a major role of producing pesticides and distributor of fertilizer. BISI has a strategic partnership with Monsanto, a globally exposed seed producer based in United States. Its 2010 revenue segments are corn seeds (34%), vegetable seeds (23%), pesticides (35%), rice (6%) and fertilizer (1%). 

·        Vertically-integrated seed production business model. BISI’s hybrid production is done by using contract-farmers land for producing its hybrid seeds. These hybrid seeds are then sold to agents spread throughout Indonesia. Domestic farmers mostly prefer to use hybrid seeds compared to conventional seeds as the hybrids are able to generate higher profits. In terms of cost, raw materials contribution to production cost in 2010 was 48%, a significant drop compared to 76% in 2009 as BISI has excess of inventory from the previous year to be sold. The hybrid seed industry remains attractive as low hybrid seeds usage in Indonesia is a precursor of better days to come. Indonesia uses only 59% of the corn land to plant hybrid seeds, on the flipside, neighboring countries such as Thailand uses 95% according to FAO stats. Strengthening the aforementioned fact, the Ministry of Agriculture sets a positive outlook for the corn seed hybrid usage market going forward, hence reducing the proportion of the conventional seeds (exhibit 2).

·         1Q11 gross profit hurts by weather disruptions. 1Q11 net profit reached IDR42bn (+65% q-o-q) mainly due to lower opex. However, sales declined 3% q-o-q on the back of lower sales volume as weather disruptions remain to hamper farmers to plant hybrid seeds. As the production weakens, BISI’s strategy was to cut down operation costs such as reducing selling agents. This can be reflected by the company’s 50% decline in opex to IDR37bn, enabling BISI to boost operating profit to IDR51bn (+172% y-o-y). According to the management, corn seeds production is expected to pick up in 2H11 assuming weather conditions would be better.


·        Volatile margins and expensive valuation. 2011 annualized net profit would be IDR169bn, translating to 28x 2011 PE, 22% premium to Its peers. BISI’s share price has increased 710% and 622% relative to JCI since its IPO, giving high multiples at this current stage. On a positive note, the

Borneo Lumbung Energy : Not a bullish takeaway, but still within target

Having met management at our 2011 Asian Stars Conference in Singapore,
these are some of our takeaways.

Volume ramp-up slower than expected

Borneo Lumbung Energy - BORN is still guiding for 3.6mt coal production/sales for 2011, though output in
May was only 285,000t (vs. 0.532mt in 1Q). BORN claimed this was mainly due to
sub-optimal mine site productivity (e.g., equipment utilization not at full capacity),
and not barging issue. Our FY sales estimate of 3.24mt still looks achievable.

Coking coal prices seen trending down
BORN expects prices to trend down in 2H (consistent with our view) as more
Queensland coal hits the market. We understand it has not made any sales to
China in 1Q. It believes it can return to China if its price acceptance level
improves (still no more than US$240/t). It guided for full-year ASP at US$220-
240/t, which looks very conservative given 2Q saw ASPs settled at US$250-300/t.
We maintain our full-year estimate of US$260/t.

9-12% discount because of slightly higher VM and lower CSR
While BORN products can be considered premium HCC, its Coke Strength after
Reaction (CSR; ie, strength of coke while hot) is relatively low end at 60%
(industry average 65%). Its Volatile Matter (the amount of material liberated at

Indofood Sukses Makmur An opportunity to lighten

􀂃 Over the past few weeks, INDF’s share price has remained firm, in spite of a
soft 1Q11A result (9.5% below our quarterly forecast), and the share prices of
its two key investments ICBP (Rp5,200, Neutral, Rp5,700 PT) and IFAR
(S$2.05, Not Rated) continuing to decline (collectively 75% of INDF’s NAV).
􀂃 We highlight that this divergence has increased the implied value of Bogasari
to Rp14.5tr, and quite likely reflects anticipatory buying in the lead-up to the
SIMP IPO. However, we believe the view that the IPO will act as a positive
catalyst for INDF’s share price to be misplaced, and we expect the reverse to
occur, and the stock to sell off after the IPO. We recommend investors utilise
the current strength as a short term trading opportunity to lighten.
Impact
􀂃 We do not believe SIMP’s IPO will act as positive catalyst for INDF: While
INDF’s share price has been strong in recent weeks, IFAR’s share price (the
vehicle actually conducting the IPO) has continued to weaken, indicating that
investors are concerned about the dilutionary consequences of the offer,
and/or the transaction converting IFAR into a holding company. Certainly
there are no indications from IFAR’s share price that the IPO is about to
imminently crystallise value or trigger a positive re-rating. In addition, we
would also flag that after a strong run in the lead-up to ICBP’s IPO, INDF’s
share price collapsed by c10–15% in the days following the IPO. Successfully
trading around the ICBP IPO required selling out before the IPO, not after.
􀂃 Valuation difficult to justify: INDF's share price relative to ICBP and IFAR’s
is now implying a Rp14.5tr valuation for Bogasari – representing a 13.5x
FY11E PER based on normalised (10-year average) margins of 9.5% (which
is high by global flour-milling standard). We note that 1Q11A margins were
below mid-cycle levels, at 8.0%, and could fall further in coming quarters with

PT Sampoerna Agro 1Q11 results update

Solid 1Q11 results – SGRO reported earnings grew triple in 1Q11, the highest in our plantation coverage. Growth was mainly driven by spiking CPO price and production growth in 1Q11. Average CPO price increased by 42% YoY to RM3,649/ton, and SGRO managed to double its CPO production. 1Q11 results were above our expectation, however we will not change our estimation as SGRO’s production pattern has not been able to be predicted yet.

Earning increased by 337% - SGRO’s earning grew by 337% YoY to IDR 189bn, followed by sales and EBIT that surged by 151% and 286% to IDR 759bn and IDR 248bn, respectively. Palm product contributed 95.3% of total revenue. Average CPO selling price was up by 27.7% YoY to IDR8,357/kg while palm kernel increased by 112% YoY to IDR6,675/kg. Volume sales for both product also surged by approximately 86% each. Overall results were above our estimation, EBIT and earning results were 30-35% of our full year 2011 projection.

Production strong, pattern volatile – For 1Q production result, 1Q11 was the highest since 2006. FFB production reached 383,673tons, increased 101% YoY and led to CPO production of 27,710tons, increased by 104% YoY. This is significant as robust production occurred when CPO price picked. Further, production growth in 1Q11 was also driven by Kalimantan side, increased 7% QoQ and 65.3% YoY. In our view, Kalimantan production

PT INTERNATIONAL NICKEL INDONESIA TBK REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2011 EARNINGS OF US$111.9 MILLION

JAKARTA, May 6, 2011 --- PT International Nickel Indonesia Tbk (“PTI” or the
“Company”, IDX: INCO) announces results for the first quarter 2011 (“1Q11”), unaudited.
PTI recorded net earnings of US$111.9 million in 1Q11 (US$0.011 per share), a slight
increase compared to US$108.9 million (US$0.011 per share) achieved in the fourth quarter
of 2010 (“4Q10), and 47% above the US$76.2 million (US$0.008 per share) in first quarter of
2010 (“1Q10”). Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”)
totalled US$172.7 million in 1Q11, compared to US$170.1 million in 4Q10 and US$121.7
million in 1Q10. The increase in net earnings and EBITDA in 1Q11 compared to 4Q10 was
mainly driven by higher average realized prices, partially offset by lower deliveries mainly
due to lower production.
The Company recorded an average realized price for nickel in matte of US$20,246 per metric
ton during 1Q11, compared to US$18,011 per metric ton in 4Q10. Sales revenue was
US$322.4 million for the three months period ended March 31, 2011, a slight decrease
compared to US$329.2 million in 4Q10. This was mainly due to lower deliveries of nickel in
matte. In 1Q11 deliveries totalled 15,924 metric tons compared to 18,280 metric tons in
4Q10.
Production of nickel in matte in 1Q11 was 16,501 metric tons, a decrease of 8% compared to
17,996 metric tons in 4Q10. Production was mainly impacted by natural events, like the
earthquake that took place in Sorowako on February 15th, and lightning storms. Electrical
lines and some facilities were impacted causing a temporary shutdown of production. All
procedures were taken to guarantee a proper and safe operation before the restart. The
production impact is expected to be compensated throughout 2011.
PT International Nickel Indonesia Tbk’s total cost of goods sold in 1Q11 decreased to US$155.3 million fromUS$166.8 million in 4Q10, primarily due to lower production and deliveries of nickel in
matte. The cost of goods sold per metric ton in 1Q11 increased by 7% compared to 4Q10,mainly due to an increase in diesel costs, employee costs and services and contracts for
additional activities at the Process Plant and Hydroelectric facility related to the earthquake,
which were partially offset by the decrease in HSFO (High Sulphur Fuel Oil) costs.
The Karebbe hydroelectric power generating plant project is progressing very well, as
planned, and is expected to be concluded on time and on budget. Overall, the project was
approximately 87% complete at the end of 1Q11 and is expected to come on line in the
second half of 2011. The project will produce enough hydroelectric energy to displace

Siti Hardiyanti Rukmana against PT Cipta TPI on print media and electronic media,
we hereby wish to rectify on various misconceptions as follows:
1. The verdict by the Central Jakarta District Court dated 14th April 2011 DID
NOT PENALIZE PT Media Nusantara Citra Tk ("PT MNC Tbk") as the current
shareholder of 75% stake in PT Cipta TPI nor did the verdict by the Central

stake in MNCTV to Siti Hardiyanti Rukmana. In fact, PT MNC Tbk was not a
party in the lawsuit/not a party in the legal case. The public has been
furnished with DECEITFUL REPORTS by the media that PT MNC Tbk must
transfer their 75% ownership in PT Cipta TPI to Siti Hardiyanti Rukmana.
The verdict by the Central Jakarta District Court dated 14th April 2011 did
not affect nor incur any legal ramifications whatsoever on the status of PT

Consumer Sector : Three trends going in the right direction

Three trends support OVERWEIGHT sector call. A strong rupiah, subsiding
inflation and strong bank deposit growth point to rising consumption and support the
case for rapid growth of the middle class. The upcoming festive season anchored by
the Muslim New Year in Aug with a full-week holiday in late Aug could turn out to be
a blockbuster for consumer spending. Key beneficiaries are Ramayana, Mitra
Adiperkasa and Gudang Garam (GG). We maintain our OVERWEIGHT on the
consumer sector.

Target price for Consumer sector stocks

Currency and consumer confidence. Normally a barometer of confidence for
investors, the rupiah is also a gauge of consumer confidence. The Indonesian
currency has been firming for over two years and recently reached its strongest
level against the US$ since 2003. Its volatility has also dropped sharply, with the
monthly deviation being a mere ±2% over the past 15 months compared with ±10%
in the preceding 24 months. Historically, rupiah strength and stability have boosted
consumer confidence, albeit with a lag. Consumer confidence is closely correlated
to the retail sales index. The bottomline is that rupiah stability and strength bode
well for broad-based consumption growth. We think that GG, Ramayana and Ace
Hardware stand to benefit.

Inflation and margins. Over the past six years, Indonesia has gone through two
rounds of cost-push inflation in 2005 and 2008 and is currently in its third one.

PT Bukit Asam Alert : Revising earnings on higher coal & oil price assumptions

PT Bukit Asam {Ticker: PTBA.JK, Closing Price: 22,100 ISl, Target Price: 32,100 ISl, Recommendation: Buy}

Revising 2011 and 2012 earnings forecasts on higher coal & oil price
We have increased our earnings forecasts for 2011 and 2012 by 8% and 6%, respectively. This factors in adjustments to FY10 results, as well as higher DB coal price (up 13% and 4% to USD130/t and USD140/t for JFY11 and JFY12) and higher oil price (up c. 16% to USD117/bbl for both years) assumptions.  We have also adjusted our currency to Rp8990 from Rp9200 previously.  So far, PTBA has priced around 53% of its 2011 volumes, implying a spot exposure of 47%.

Maintain Buy rating, with TP of Rp32,100 (from Rp33,300)
Our revised target price reflects the above-mentioned earnings estimate revisions, slightly offset by currency adjustments. We establish our target price by conducting a sum-of-the-parts DCF analysis; we then apply a 50% premium (unchanged), in line with our approach for the sector as a whole, to reflect the coal upcycle. Our DCF analysis assumes a WACC of 11% and a US$80/t long-term coal price benchmark. For valuation

Research Today: Astra Agro Lestari (AALI IJ), payback time

Plantation analyst Di Shui downgrades Astra Agro Lestari (AALI IJ) slightly to Outperform (from a BUY). Despite a very strong 1Q11 production number (record), our analyst lowers her recommendation on the back of valuation.
