16 June 2014 EQUITY RESEARCH Automotive sector Initiating Coverage R Sustaining growth momentum • • • • ASII BUY Target Price Current Price Upside (downside) Rp 8,400 Rp 7,400 +13.5% Share Performance 3M 6M 12 M Absolute (%) -5.1 21.3 5.0 Relative to JCI (%) -6.1 2.0 1.5 52-WK range (Rp) 5,100 – 8,050 Price Chart 120 115 110 105 Low penetration in 4W to drive future growth Commodity segment provides solid cash flow Strong synergies between the automotive and financing segments Initiate coverage with a BUY recommendation and a target price of Rp 8,400 We initiate coverage of Astra International (ASII) with a BUY recommendation, based on a sum-of-the-parts target price of Rp 8,400, which translates into an FY14-15F PER of 16.0-14.0x and FY14-15F EV/EBITDA of 14.0-12.1x. ASII has good brand equity and a strong value chain in the automotive sector, being supported by two global brand names: Toyota/Daihatsu (4W) and Honda (2W). Subsidiaries in the commodity sectors provide healthy cash flow despite weak commodity prices. Other subsidiaries are relatively self-sustaining and pose no burden to the parent. Overall, we believe ASII offers investors a solid business mix in one stock. Low penetration in 4W. The 4W segment has been growing at a CAGR of 10.4% in FY00-10. The penetration rate for 4W is low, at only 39 units per 1,000 population. We expect the 4W segment to grow at a CAGR of 15.5% in FY11-16F due to the rising purchasing power, introduction of affordable models, and availability of financing in Indonesia. Nonetheless, ASII is facing stiffer competition as more companies enter the low MPV segment. We believe with product support from Toyota and its strong distribution network, ASII will be able to respond. Meanwhile, we think that 2W has reached maturity, but we see a potential shift towards sports models and away from cub/scooter models in the mid-term. 100 Limited downside in the commodities sector. ASII’s two subsidiaries, Astra Agro Lestari (AALI) and United Tractors (UNTR), have been hampered by weak commodity prices. We believe that the worst is over, limiting the downside for these companies. In addition, the two companies have exercised sound cost control and high capex discipline, resulting in solid cash flow to the parent. We expect both companies to sustain such contributions. We are also more positive on the CPO price, while tend to be neutral on coal. 95 90 85 80 75 70 13-Jun 13-Sep 13-Dec JCI 13-Mar ASII Source: Bloomberg Share Data Out’ shares (b) Market Cap (US$ m) 6 M avg.daily (US$ m) 40,484 25,396.6 24,141,963 Shareholder information Jardine Cycle & CARR Free float Chandra Pasaribu [email protected] +62 21 5793 1168 50.1 % 49.9% Capturing the value chain in finance. Having a strong financing arm in 4W and 2W, together with the insurance business, enhances the value chain of the automotive business. Financing is channeled through Permata Bank, a jointly controlled entity of ASII and Standard Chartered Bank, providing a competitive source of financing. Another revenue enhancement for 4W comes in the form of car rental and used-car dealerships. This is a unique advantage that ASII’s rivals are unable to replicate. Sound financials to ensure dividends. ASII has implemented strong financial discipline across its subsidiaries. This is shown by the relatively low gearing and self-sustaining financing by subsidiaries. Therefore, ASII avoids being burdened by its subsidiaries’ business expansions. We assume that ASII will maintain its dividend payout ratio of 45%. As a result, it should be able to maintain its dividend distribution with yields of 3.6% in FY14F and 4.2% in FY15F.

Indonesia has become the second-largest market after Thailand. The automotive industry is highly influenced by: (i) reductions in the fuel subsidy, which affect inflation, GDP growth, and consumer confidence; (ii) GDP per capita, as Indonesia has hit GDP per capita of US$4,000, surpassing the level at which motorization starts, at US$3,000; and (iii) a regulatory framework with tax incentives. Over the past 10 years, Indonesia’s auto industry volume has grown at a CAGR of only 10.4%. We expect faster industry growth at a CAGR of 13.9% in FY11-16, simply due to low penetration and supported by improved affordability from rising incomes. Furthermore, auto penetration (passenger cars excluding two wheelers) in Indonesia remains very low at only 39 per 1,000 population, compared with Thailand at 74 and Malaysia at 341 in 2011. The auto industry remains highly concentrated in Java, in particular the Greater Jakarta area. The lack of infrastructure such as roads, storage facilities, and logistics in non-Java areas hinders acceleration of auto penetration. Exhibit 1 Auto demand has accelerated starting in 2010 Exhibit 2 Number of passenger cars per 1,000 population Source: Gaikindo, IndoPremier Source: World Bank Fuel hikes have affected purchasing power and the cost of borrowing Despite having plenty of potential, the industry remains very sensitive to economic policies on: (i) fuel subsidies affecting purchasing power; and (ii) the tax implications of import duties and the luxury tax. For instance, the auto industry went into a slump in 2005 and 2009, when the Government increased fuel prices, leading to higher inflation. As a consequence, higher inflation led to reduced purchasing power, a direct increase in transportation costs, and more expensive financing, which together affected consumer confidence. Currently, the fuel subsidy remains significant in budget spending at about Rp 211tn, representing 11.6% of the total budget. Lately, the Government has been exploring options for reducing the subsidy, such as a fixed subsidy per liter, introducing dual fuel usage (gas and fuel), prohibiting cars from using subsidized fuel and introducing more efficient vehicles (LCGCs) with tax incentives. Fuel hikes usually result in delays in the purchase of durable goods, creating demand pressure for up to one year after the hike. Nonetheless, as soon as confidence is restored demand should picks up again. The major tax regimes There are three main taxes on 4W: (i) import duty (bea masuk); (ii) VAT (PPN); and (iii) luxury tax (PPN BM). Import duty is based on value-added in assembly. Fully imported cars (CBU) are subject to higher taxes of 40% vs completely knocked down (CKD) and incomplete knocked down (IKD) of only 10% and 7.5%, respectively. Import duties are less relevant, since most models are manufactured in Indonesia. Under the ASEAN free trade agreement, CBU units imported from ASEAN countries are exempt from import duty. This agreement favors those Japanese manufacturers that have integrated production facilities in ASEAN. Therefore, policy changes in luxury tax hold the key to the auto industry. VAT tax is unavoidable, as every item on the market is subject to VAT. This is most unlikely to change. 2 Initiating coverage Exhibit 3 Simplified tax structure for 4W Import duty VAT Non sedan CBU Luxury tax IKD <1500 cc 10% 1500-2500cc 20% > 3000cc 125% 40% Sedan CKD 10% 7.5% 10% <1500 cc 30% 1500-3000cc 40% > 3000cc 125% Source: Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Industry and Ministry of Trade A major component in selling prices is the luxury tax, which ranges from 10-125% depending on the model (sedan vs non-sedan) and engine size. Sedans are subject to a higher tax of 30-40%, compared with non-sedans of only 10-20%. The non-sedan category includes city cars, hatchbacks, MPVs and SUVs. Meanwhile, large engine sizes of over 3000cc are subject to 125%. Recently, the Ministry of Finance increased the luxury tax for large engines to reduce the current account deficit. There is also a tax exemption for low-cost green cars (LCGCs), with the luxury tax waived if certain requirements are fulfilled. These requirements are: • • • • Engine size of 980-1200cc Ceiling price of Rp 95mn, with a tolerance of 15% if using automatic transmission and 10% for usage of airbags (safety features) Fuel consumption not lower than 20km/liter Local content of minimum 60%, to increase to 80% over the next five years Nonetheless, the Ministry of Finance, together with the Ministry of Industry, may reevaluate this ruling, as the Government tries to reduce fuel subsidy costs. The Government has proposed some ideas including restricting the use of subsidized fuel for LCGCs, although nothing has been decided. MPVs, SUVs, and hatchbacks/city cars are the main market given tax structure As a result of the current tax structure, sedans with similar engine sizes are more expensive than MPVs, SUVs, and hatchbacks/city cars. As a relatively young automotive industry, Indonesian customers remain very price sensitive. Sedans with similar engine size are 30% more expensive than MPVs. As a result, sedans only accounted for 1.8% of total car sales in FY13. The cheaper MPVs/SUVs/city/hatchback cars dominate the market, at 68%. Meanwhile, trucks and pick-ups used for commercial activities accounted for about 30%. The Indonesian Automotive Association (Gaikindo) has proposed to the Government a reduction in the luxury tax on small sedans. The Government is still evaluating this proposal. If approved, this would eliminate the price advantage of non-sedans. Having an even playing field should result in a higher market proportion for the sedan segment. However, limited passenger capacity may be a concern for customers, as Indonesians often travel in extended family groups. Hence, manufacturers usually target the nonsedan segments, simply due to price competitiveness and passenger capacity. 3 Initiating coverage Exhibit 4 MPVs, SUVs and hatchback/city cars dominate 4W demand Source: Gaikindo, IndoPremier The main market of low MPVs is becoming crowded If we strip out pick-ups, we see that the top 5 selling cars are MPVs, dominated by Toyota/Daihatsu, and then followed by Suzuki and Nissan. Competition in this segment is becoming tighter. The Avanza and Xenia were introduced back in 2004, with relatively little competition. Nissan introduced the Livina to challenge the dominance of the Avanza/Xenia in 2007. Suzuki also entered this segment by launching the Suzuki Ertiga (which means R3 in bahasa) in late 2012. Then Honda joined the segment with the introduction of the Honda Mobilio (also adopting Indonesian names, mobil means car in bahasa). As the market experienced rapid growth after 2010, other manufacturers saw an opportunity to challenge Astra’s established segment of low MPV models. Nissan, Suzuki and Honda used to serve niche markets in Indonesia, leaving Toyota and Daihatsu to dominate under Astra. Nevertheless, using a regional model approach, Japanese competitors started to challenge Toyota/Daihatsu in this popular segment. Nissan successfully introduced the Nissan Livina, an attractive model at a competitive price. However, it was less successful in after-sales service, the availability of spare parts, and independent workshops, which hampered rapid growth. Recently, Nissan Motor Indonesia appointed Mitra Pinasthika Mustika (MPMX, Rp 1,295, BUY) as its new main dealer in Indonesia, replacing Indomobil (IMAS, Rp 4,730, Not rated). By appointing a new main dealer, Nissan expects an improved value chain to add overall value to Nissan’s products. The reception to the Suzuki Ertiga and the Honda Mobilio has been very positive so far, although both Suzuki and Honda still need to invest further in their value chains, such as after-sales service and availability of spare parts. Rapid expansion of newly launched models could create long queues for after-sales service workshops. Having a bad experience with after-sales service could affect future sales and the resale value of models.

In this segment, the Avanza/Xenia commands about 71.7% market share. Suzuki has entered this segment with the Ertiga, Chevrolet with the Spin, Nissan with the Livina, and Honda with the Mobilio. This has created stiff competition in the largest segment. In FY13, Avanza held a market share of 55.1%, followed by the Xenia with 16.7%, and the Ertiga with 16.1%. With the introduction of the Honda Mobilio, market share of Avanza shrank to 47.6%, while Xenia’s market share fell to 13.2%. The introduction of the Mobilio also affected market shares of the Ertiga and the Livina. Exhibit 7 Auto demand has accelerated since 2010 Exhibit 8 Monthly sales figures of low MPVs (unit/month) Source: Gaikindo Source: Gaikindo A new market segment with LCGCs The Government has recently introduced tax incentives for low cost green cars (LCGCs), which will be exempt from luxury tax. LCGCs have to fulfill the following criteria: (i) engine size below 1200cc; (ii) fuel consumption below 20km per liter; and (iii) a ceiling price of Rp 95mn. Therefore, LCGCs open a new segment with a price point of around Rp 100mn per unit. Back in 2004, the Avanza and the Xenia were introduced at a price of Rp 100mn. Nonetheless, due to price rises triggered by a weakening rupiah and subsequent inflationary pressures, these models now sell for Rp 150-200mn. 5 Initiating coverage Toyota/Daihatsu launched the Agya and the Ayla to fill in this segment, while Honda introduced its Honda Brio Satya, Suzuki its Wagon-R and Nissan just launched its Datsun Go and Go+. These are all regional models introduced by the principals across the Asia region. The most interesting newcomer is Nissan’s Datsun Go+, which is the only 7-seater model in this category. All other 7-seater MPVs are in the low MPV segment, priced at Rp 150-200mn, with an engine size of 1300-1500cc. The Datsun Go+ therefore has the potential to erode the market of low MPVs.

ASII took a large market share of 81.1% in 4Q13 due to its strong brand equity and availability of units. Astra was among the first auto manufacturers in Indonesia to invest in new production lines for LCGCs. In 1Q14, Honda and Suzuki were able to catch up with their own production facilities coming on line, causing ASII’s market share to fall slightly to 70.2%. Meanwhile, Nissan has just launched its Datsun Go+. Production by Nissan Motor Indonesia will start slowly at 1,000 units per month. Therefore, we are confident that ASII can continue to command a market share of 60-65%, above its total national market share. Exhibit 10 Market share in the LCGC segment Source: Gaikindo Dominance in other market segments The non-sedan segment can be divided into six broad categories based on functionality and price bracket. Hatchbacks or city cars account for 21.4% of the total non-sedan segment, which is the second-largest segment after low MPVs. Pick-ups and minibuses account for 18%, in which Mitsubishi and Suzuki are market leaders. Other segments are relatively small. Nonetheless, ASII tends to lead in each of these segments except in vehicles for commercial use (minibuses, pick-ups and trucks). Despite facing competition in the largest segment, we think that ASII’s dominance in other segments will endure. But it will be important for Toyota/Daihatsu to support product launches with upgraded technology and newer designs to meet the rising competition in such segments. 6 Initiating coverage Exhibit 11 Low MPV models most popular among customers % non sedan ASII 1Q14 market share Hatchbacks/city cars 21.4 57 Pick-ups + minibuses 18.0 35 58,088 Low MPVs 31.5 62 101,625 MPVs 8.3 61 26,643 SUVs 8.8 65 28,291 12.0 11 38,569 Trucks Units 69,053 Total non-sedan 322,269 Total industry 325,976 Source: Gaikindo Measuring brand equity from resale value Re-sale value is the most important factor among Indonesian consumers when deciding to buy a vehicle, followed by passenger capacity. All other factors, such as engine, technology, safety features and design, are lower concerns. Strong resale value comes from ease of maintenance by third-party workshops (which are cheaper than authorized workshops), availability of spare parts from independent retailers, and reliability of the vehicle (longer usage). Indonesian customers have a tendency to follow the market. The more popular one model is, the lower the depreciation over time. Thus, popularity is an important factor in determining the second-hand prices of certain models. High inflation sometimes outpaces depreciation, as newer models are launched at higher prices.

The popularity of the models carries high value besides the brand. We look at best-selling models, such as the Kijang Innova, Avanza/Xenia, Swift and Jazz. These brands have experienced depreciation of 30-35% over the past five years. Higher-priced vehicles such as the Honda CRV and Toyota’s Camry have higher depreciation rates of 42% and 54%, respectively, due to larger engine size, which is perceived as less economical. Second-hand car purchasers look for fuel efficiency, ease of servicing by independent workshops and the availability of OEM spare parts. High re-sale value is also driven by the fact that Indonesia continues to experience high inflation. Auto manufacturers increase prices in accordance with rupiah/USD exchange rate fluctuations and inflationary pressure on production costs. Over the past five years in general, the list price of cars has increased in line with inflation. However, popular models from Toyota/Daihatsu have had a slightly stronger ability to increase prices than competitors, thanks to their strong brand equity. Nonetheless, this was when Toyota/Daihatsu did not have any serious competition in the MPV segment. Being the market leader, Toyota/Daihatsu may lose pricing power as they consider the list prices of their competitors. In a high growth environment, pricing power is derived by being a market leader. We think that competitors will increase prices according to the market leader. This will not be the case if demand is weak. The secondary market in Indonesia is very lucrative due to: (i) low car penetration, (ii) relative weak purchasing power, and (iii) a high inflation environment. 7 Initiating coverage What makes ASII stand out from its competitors? Auto manufacturers in Indonesia typically have: (i) a principal that usually has a majority stake in a manufacturing facility, (ii) a sole distributor (could be integrated with the manufacturing company), and (iii) main dealers and retailers (combination with local third-parties). ASII has a similar structure with manufacturing, a sole distributor and dealers, but its real strength is its stronger distribution network than competitors. This also adds re-sale value to its products, due to ease of maintenance and the availability of spare parts. Toyota Motor Corporation holds a majority stake of 95% in Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMI), with ASII holding only 5%. TMMI is the company that owns the manufacturing facilities in Indonesia. The sole distributor, known as ATPM (in Indonesia), is Toyota Astra Motor, with ASII holding 51% and Toyota Motor Corporation 49%. Toyota Astra Motor is responsible for distribution of Toyota brands in Indonesia. Toyota Astra Motor appoints ASII together with four other independent companies as main dealers. ASII controls about 70% of Toyota’s total distribution volume. Daihatsu is slightly different. Daihatsu Motor and ASII hold 50:50 in Astra Daihatsu Motor (ADM), which has the manufacturing facilities and acts as sole distributor. Furthermore, ADM appoints ASII together with seven other local companies as Daihatsu dealers in Indonesia. In both cases, ASII has full control over the dealership in Indonesia, as it controls both the sole distributor and the dealers. Indomobil (IMAS) is the main competitor of ASII in auto distribution in Indonesia. IMAS holds sole distributorship for Renault, VW and Audi, while owning minority stakes in dealerships for Suzuki and Nissan. IMAS has less control over the more popular brands of Nissan/Datsun and Suzuki, since it owns only minority stakes in dealerships. The sole distributorships of Suzuki and Nissan are not under IMAS. This exposes IMAS to less control in distribution of Suzuki and Nissan products in Indonesia than ASII. Another strong brand is Honda Prospect Motor, which is not listed. Honda has a similar structure to IMAS, which involves more third parties, which again translates into less control over distribution. Exhibit 13 Top selling brands in 1Q14 Source: Gaikindo Toyota/Daihatsu have had fast-selling products for years. Recently, competitors such as Nissan, Honda and Suzuki have been able to challenge Toyota/Daihatsu’s most popular models. Toyota/Daihatsu are perceived as having excellent after-sales service. Nissan, with its fast-selling Livina model, has had some hiccups in its after-sales service. If we assume that only vehicles under 3-years-old return to authorized service workshops, Toyota/Daihatsu have better economies of scale, as one dealer is able to handle around 4,600 units and 3,300 units, respectively. Suzuki is the third most efficient with handling capacity of 2,675 units. However, with its fast-selling model the Suzuki Ertiga, Suzuki will need to keep up its service quality as the population grows. Honda will face a similar challenge due to the launch of its Mobilio. Any decline in after-sales service quality would have a negative impact on future sales and buying intentions. ASII has set up its auto distribution service as a “one-stop shop”. The auto distribution business is not only supported by 3S (sales, service and spare parts) but also by: 8 Initiating coverage • • • Financing, through its financing arm Astra Sedaya Finance, allowing ASII to capture extended revenue from auto financing. Insurance, through its subsidiary of Asuransi Astra Buana, which provides insurance for financed/non-financed cars. Used car center, to provide a second-hand market for Toyota/Daihatsu used cars. Another extension of the value chain of the distribution business. None of ASII competitors is able to replicate such a value chain. Indomobil and Nissan are partly replicating this business model but on a dealer level. For ASII, this business model is applied from the sole distributor level, providing greater control over the whole value chain. Impact on market share and revenue Low penetration in 4W provides ample room for future growth. We believe that 4W sales volume will grow by 12.0% to 1.4mn units in FY14, and 14.0% to 1.6mn units in FY15. However, due to stiff competition in low MPVs, we expect ASII’s market share to decline to 41% in FY14 and FY15, from 43.4% in FY13. The introduction of LCGCs should support the industry’s growth. Nonetheless, we expect this cheaper car segment to pull down the blended average price by 7.3% in FY14, before we see a recovery of 4% in FY15. The lower average selling price is likely to negate some of the volume growth, leaving revenue to decline by -1.8% in FY14, recovering to 18.6% in FY15.

For many years the dominance of these two brands remained untouched. With stronger demand, competitors such as Honda and Nissan are now willing to compete head-to-head with Toyota/Daihatsu products. This competition should not be something new for Toyota/Daihatsu, since these Japanese manufacturers compete in the global market. Therefore, Toyota/Daihatsu should be able to fight competition in Indonesia, but they will need to offer competitive products in terms of both quality and pricing. 9 Initiating coverage 2W: a maturing market The motorcycle (2W) market has a simpler market structure than the 4W market. Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki are the main players in the motorcycle market, commanding about 98% of the total market. The remaining 2% is filled by Kawasaki, which serves the niche sports motorcycle segment. The models offered are mainly cubs, scooters and sports motorcycles, with limited models due to the simplicity of the motorbikes. Honda leads in the Indonesian motorcycle market due to (i) its strong production base, which translates into competitive pricing and flexible model launching; (ii) wide distribution support for sales and service; and (iii) support from a financing company, Federal Finance International (FIF), which specializes in motorcycle financing. A high penetration market… The motorcycle market in Indonesia seems to have reached saturation point as penetration has reached 251 motorcycles per 1,000 population. A similar level has been reached in neighboring countries such as Thailand, while Vietnam and Malaysia are above 300 units per 1,000 population, or one motorcycle for every three people. With such a high penetration level, motorcycle sales should mature and become filled by the replacement market. Exhibit 15 Motorcycle density per 1,000 population (units) Source: Global Status Report On Road Safety, WHO 2013 Motorcycles account for the majority of road transportation in developing countries. In Vietnam, about 96% of total registered vehicles were motorcycles in 2011. Indonesia has reached a high level of 83%, similar to Cambodia, although Indonesia has a higher motorization rate in 2W. Having such a high proportion of motorcycles provides more opportunities in the 4W segment, as people have the potential to shift from 2W to 4W. As purchasing power increases and 4W prices become cheaper (due to introduction of small fuel efficient cars), a medium-term shift from 2W to 4W is likely to occur. 10 Initiating coverage Exhibit 16 Motorcycle density in ASEAN, motorcycles per 1,000 population Source: Global Status Report On Road Safety, WHO 2013 Based on data from the Asean Automotive Federation, Indonesia has reached maturity in motorcycles, similar to Thailand and Malaysia, where penetration is already high. We expect motorcycle sales to grow by 3.4% in FY14 and 2% p.a. in FY15 and FY16, in line with population growth. Exhibit 17 Sales volume of motorcycles in ASEAN countries Source: Asean Auto Federation …but less competition The main players in the Indonesian motorcycle segments are Honda, which currently dominates the market, with a 60.7% market share in FY13, followed by Yamaha with 32.2% and Suzuki with 5.1%. Models offered in the market remain limited to three types: scooters, cubs, and sports motorcycles. Before 2005, motorcycles were dominated by cubs. Yamaha introduced the scooter type with automatic transmission in 2005 and gained much attention. Since 2005, the market has shifted to scooters, opening up a new segment in the industry. 11 Initiating coverage Exhibit 18 Market segment has shifted to scooters since their introduction in 2005 Source: AISI Due to current import duties, reasonable pricing only applies to motorcycles of less than 250cc. Above this level, import duties of 75% to 125% are applied. Therefore, the mass market in each segment has engine sizes of under 250cc for all models. Winning back market share Yamaha became a serious player with the introduction scooters. Honda at that time had no such product line. As the reception of scooters was overwhelming, Yamaha gained market share from 16.3% in 2005 to reach its peak of 45% in FY09-10. Nonetheless, Honda was able to fight back by introducing head-to-head products in scooters and gained market share starting in 2007. Up to 2013, Honda was able to re-gain its dominance over Yamaha in almost all segments. This is strong evidence of the product quality and solid distribution network of Honda. Currently, Honda holds a market share of 60.7%. We are confident that Honda will be able to maintain its market share at the current level due to its strong distribution and after-sales networks, and support from its internal financing arm, FIF. Aggressive financing encourage high demand growth The high growth period in FY06-13 with a CAGR of 8.3% was supported by low downpayments on motorcycle purchases. Down-payments could be as low as Rp 500,000, or 5% of the total value of the motorcycle. Some dealers were even more aggressive, giving cash back of a similar amount as the down-payment, meaning that practically no down payment was required. This created large numbers of low quality credit customers. In the end, it hurt financing companies most, which were forced to write off large amounts of assets. FIF was shielded due to its better credit assessments and larger number of customers, resulting in a lower bad-debt-to-asset ratio. However, the recent regulation requiring down-payments of a minimum of 25% has negatively impacted demand, although it also improves asset quality of the financing companies. This should be positive in the longer term. 12 Initiating coverage Exhibit 19 Honda has regained market share due to strong product mix, brand equity and distribution Source: AISI What next? As the motorcycle industry has reached maturity, growth will come from the replacement market and natural growth linked to demographics. However, motorcycle manufacturers must still closely follow market dynamics. For instance, the introduction of scooters back in 2005 brought a swing in market share and growth opportunities. Currently, Yamaha has started to penetrate the sports segment by introducing full fairing models such as the R15 and R25, which will compete head-to-head with Honda’s CBR150R and CBR250R. Rising disposable income will affect preferences in the replacement market. We feel that there is a potential shift into the sports market, as motorcycles can be used not only as a mode of transportation, but also to reflect lifestyles. Kawasaki has gained significant market share by penetrating the upper sports market segment with engine sizes of 250cc to 1000cc. Exhibit 20 New models in the sports segment offered by the main Japanese brands Yamaha Type Engine (cc) Cylinder Price (Rp mn) Honda Kawasaki R15 R25 CBR150R CBR250R Ninja 150 Mono 28.0 250 Dual 53.0 150 Mono 42.9 250 Mono 46.8 250 Dual 53.7 Source: Yamaha Indonesia, AHM, and Kawasaki Motor Indonesia Distribution chain Honda’s products are very well-known in Indonesia, translating into market dominance. In terms of product quality, Japanese manufacturers should be relatively similar. We think that Honda’s dominance is supported by its strong distribution network. Honda has about 1,800 dealers in Indonesia, followed by Yamaha with 144, while Kawasaki and Suzuki remain relatively niche players, with only 279 and 200 dealers, respectively. Honda has better economies of scale, as the dealership share is only 48% but this translated into a market share of 60.7% in FY13. 13 Initiating coverage Exhibit 21 Honda has a better distribution network than its rivals Source: AISI Dominance in financing To leverage its business position, ASII has extended its value chain in the motorcycle business by providing financing under its subsidiary, Federal International Finance (FIF). Unlike 4W financing, 2W financing does not compete directly with bank financing. 2W financing is less attractive for banks due to the small sums involved (only about Rp 10mn per unit) with resources needed for risk management and collection. This is regarded as micro-financing from a banking standpoint. Therefore, FIF only competes with other financing companies. The advantage of FIF is that its sister company, Astra Honda Motor (AHM), controls the distribution of the leading motorcycle in Indonesia. Having a strong parent such as ASII translates into high availability of funding at competitive costs. Value chain of the motorcycle business Compared with the automotive industry, the 2W business model has a better value chain, starting from manufacturing (under the joint operation of Astra Honda Motor), followed by distribution from the main distributor to dealerships, plus the financing arm. However, due to the low value of motorcycles, there is no value-added from the insurance business. The value-added from manufacturing provides stability in profit margins, unlike the 4W business, which is exposed to distribution margins only. Expecting maturity with stable market share We believe that the 2W market has reached maturity due to the high penetration rate. Nonetheless, demand should be fueled by the replacement market. This year, demand for motorcycle is still seeing the impact from increasing down-payments and interestrate increases. We expect overall motorcycle demand to grow by just 0.6% in FY14 and 2% in FY15. Honda with its strong brand equity, and excellent distribution and aftersales service, should be able to maintain its market share. However, Honda needs to be more progressive in introducing and updating its models, especially with market trends that are shifting to sports motorcycles. Honda saw stiff competition from Yamaha when it introduced scooters. Nevertheless, Honda was able to fight back by launching similar products. Honda and Yamaha are competing in the global market, so the product excellence of both has been proven. Therefore, Honda should be more aggressive by introducing newer models in different segments.

Currently, all of these subsidiaries manufacture about 48 types of parts for 2W and 58 types of parts for 4W. Looking at the type of parts manufactured, production lines of AUTO and its subsidiaries support the production of 2W and 4W manufacturing through OEM parts. Types of parts that are sold to the replacement market remain limited, at fewer than 20 types. Therefore, growth of AUTO is driven by the capacity expansion of auto and motorcycle manufacturers. This year, AUTO has allocated capex of Rp 4.5tn for expanding capacity and enhancing capability, as well as for investment. Sales contribution mainly from OEM and the replacement market AUTO markets its products mainly to OEM manufacturers and to the replacement market with limited sales for export. The largest contribution comes from OEM manufacturers at 52% in FY13, followed by the replacement market at 38%, with the remaining allocated for exports. Not only Astra Daihatsu Motor (ADM), Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) and Astra Honda Motor (AHM) are manufacturing customers of AUTO, but also other well-known manufacturers such as Honda, Suzuki, Nissan and Mitsubishi. We think that AUTO has a good diversified customer base to secure growth in auto parts. Increasing competition in the low MPV segment should have less impact on AUTO than the manufacturing arm of ASII. AUTO could benefit from increasing auto parts sales to Toyota/Daihatsu’s competitors, such as Nissan, Honda and Suzuki, which have successful launched new products in this category. Exhibit 23 Revenue contribution by OEM, replacement and exports Source: AUTO Growth in OEM sales has outpaced growth in the replacement market, with a CAGR of 19.1% vs 15.2%, respectively, over the past five years (FY07-13). During the same period, exports only grew at a CAGR of 6.2%. This highlights that the export market is not a priority for AUTO. As mentioned earlier, sales growth of AUTO is a function of production of 2W and 4W. Recently, we have seen plenty of news about the auto industry increasing production capacity. Nevertheless, AUTO will mostly support the production of Honda motorcycles and Daihatsu/Toyota manufacturing in Indonesia. Investment in additional production lines should have a positive impact on AUTO’s revenue growth. 15 Initiating coverage Exhibit 24 Revenue growth of AUTO is in line with capacity expansion of ADM, TMMIN and AHM Source: AUTO, ASII Increasing investment in the automotive industry should provide opportunities for AUTO, especially for common shared parts, such as batteries, bearings, tyres, air con, bulb lamps, filters etc. Other major Japanese manufacturer, such as Nissan Motor Indonesia, Suzuki Indomobil Motor, Honda Prospect Motor and Mitsubishi Krama Yudha Manufacturing, are significantly increasing production capacity. This year AUTO has allocated capex of Rp 4.0tn to increase its production capacity in various auto parts. We believe this strategic decision is in line with the expansion of automotive manufacturers.

According to the Directorate General of Technology-based Industry at the Ministry of Industry, current local content of LCGC is about 45-51%. In the next five years, LCGC manufacturers are expected to fulfill local content of 80%. This means more components will be manufactured domestically. We think that AUTO will benefit from such a requirement. Profit margins controlled by the principal Competition in the automotive sector has increased in the past 2-3 years. The introduction of low MPV by other manufacturers such as the Ertiga from Suzuki, the upcoming Datsun Go, and the Honda Brio Satya has increased the competitive landscape. Discounts and cash-back offers have become effective tools to boost sales volume but at the price of sacrificing margins. This burden is not only absorbed by the principal but is shared throughout the value chain, including AUTO. As a result, profit margins have slipped since 2010. However, we think the current level of profitability should be sustainable. Higher contributions from OEMs should also affect margins, as OEMs carry lower margins than the replacement market. There is a trade-off between volume and pricing. Having a relative weaker bargaining position against the principal, AUTO is prone to cost increases from a weakening currency and increasing raw material prices, such as for steel. 16 Initiating coverage Exhibit 26 Profit margins of AUTO are under pressure due to tight competition in the low MPV segment Source: AUTO Exhibit 27 Financial forecast summary of AUTO Revenue, Rp bn EBITDA, Rp bn Net profit, Rp bn 2012 2013 2014F 2015F 2016F 8,277 10,702 12,533 15,590 18,581 670 972 1,112 1,512 1,844 1,136 1,058 1,141 1,333 1,746 Growth Revenue (%) 12.4 29.3 17.1 24.4 19.2 EBITDA (%) 2.2 45.1 14.4 36.0 22.0 Net profit (%) 3.1 -6.9 7.8 16.8 31.1 16.4 16.0 15.5 14.9 15.3 8.1 9.1 8.9 9.7 9.9 Net margin (%) 13.7 9.9 9.1 8.5 9.4 ROE (%) 22.3 14.1 11.4 12.3 14.6 ROA (%) 14.3 9.8 7.9 7.9 9.8 GPM (%) EBITDA margin (%) Source: AUTO, IndoPremier 17 Initiating coverage Heavy equipment: No icing on the cake The heavy equipment division is listed under a separate company, United Tractors (UNTR, Rp 23,000, BUY), which is the second-largest contributor in terms of revenue (after automotive) and the third-largest in terms of net income. UNTR has three business segments: (i) contract-mining, which contributed 61.7% of revenue and 84.6% of pre-tax profit in FY13; (ii) machinery, which contributed 30.6% of revenue and 17.1% of pretax profit in FY13; and (iii) coal-mining, which contributed 7.7% of revenue and remained in net loss in FY13. Exhibit 28 Revenue contributions by segment Exhibit 29 Gross profit contribution by segment Source: UNTR, IndoPremier Source: UNTR, IndoPremier In FY14-16, our analyst William Simadiputra expects recovery in the machinery segment, while contract-mining will remain a cash cow. Contributions to revenue are expected to be 57.8% and 34.8% in FY14 from contract-mining and machinery, respectively. Profit contributions are expected to be dominated by contract-mining, at 67.8%, followed by machinery at 28.6%. We also expect a turnaround in the coal business, with a profit of Rp 226bn, representing about 3.5% profit contribution. UNTR is highly exposed to coal prices, as its customer base is concentrated in coal mining activities for both contract mining and machinery. In the contract-mining business, UNTR holds a market share of 33%, with customers mainly the large coalmining companies, such as Adaro (ADRO, Rp 1,325, not rated), Indominco, a subsidiary of Indotambang Raya Megah (ITMG, Rp 27,900, not rated), and Kideco, a subsidiary of Indika Energy (INDY, Rp 705, not rated). Nevertheless, the weak coal price has translated into lower capex, which has reduced demand for machinery from the coal sector. Rising demand from the infrastructure sector is not enough to compensate for the lost mining sales. Exhibit 30 Cash cost of major coal miners Source: ADRO, PTBA, INDY and ITMG 18 Initiating coverage Contract-mining as a cash cow Amid the weak coal price, large coal miners in Indonesia can still operate due to theirn relatively low cash cost of around US$37-49 per tonne, well below the current coal price of around US$80/ton. Therefore, at the current coal price these miners are still making healthy profits, which means sustainability in the sector. In order to maintain their cash costs, miners have started to renegotiate contract-mining fees with Pama Persada (subsidiary of UNTR). The company has agreed to absorb lower fees if compensated with higher volumes of coal production. This has simply translated into lower stripping ratios, and a win-win solution for both parties to keep profitability at sustainable levels. We expect: • • • The stripping ratio of Pama Persada to be around 7.2-7.5x in FY14-16, lower than 8.9x in FY13. Growth of overburden volume and coal production to reach CAGR of 3.5% and 6.0% in FY13-16, respectively. We believe this will reflect defensive volume expansion from coal miners to maintain profitability due to a low coal price of US$80-85/ton. Pama Persada to maintain a stable gross margin at 18.9% due to its costefficiency program and its ability to renegotiate contracts in coping with rising consumable costs and contract re-pricing from miners. Exhibit 31 Volume of overburden, coal production, and the stripping ratio Source: UNTR, IndoPremier Limited downside from the machinery business Of the total machinery sales volume in FY13, the mining sector contributed the largest portion, at 42.6%, followed by agro at 25.6%, and then construction at 23.6%, with forestry at only 8.2%. As commodity prices plunged (both for coal and CPO), demand for heavy equipment from these two sector halted, causing the machinery group’s gross profit to decline by 77.5% to Rp 1.2tn in FY13. Nonetheless, we believe that the worst is now over, leaving limited further downside in the machinery business. Exhibit 32 Sales volume breakdown of machinery by sector Source: UNTR, IndoPremier 19 Exhibit 33 Heavy equipment sales volume Source: UNTR, IndoPremier Initiating coverage Margin support from a weaker rupiah and strong after-sales service UNTR has enjoyed margin expansion from the weaker rupiah, thanks to inventory priced at a lower price. Gross margin increased to 23.0% and 25.4% in 3Q14 and 4Q14, respectively, vs an 18% 5-year average gross margin. UNTR has used this margin gain to enhance sales incentives to boost sales volume. With delayed replacement and purchase of new equipment, after-sales service has become important to lengthen product life cycles. After-sales service and spare parts sales carries margins of 20-35%, which is significantly higher than the machinery sales margin of only 15-17%. Higher contributions from after-sales service and spare parts should enhance margins. We expect this segment to grow by 15% yoy in FY14-15 to Rp 1.9tn and Rp 2.2tn, respectively. We believe that margins should be sustainable at 22-23% for FY14-15 from a combination of currency gains and a higher contribution from after-sales service. At the current weak coal price, we believe that demand for heavy equipment from the coal sector will be fuelled by the replacement market. Coal miners have slashed their capex. Therefore, we should not expect any demand from expansion. Moreover, demand for small- to medium-size heavy equipment could come from the agricultural and infrastructure sectors, due to recovery in the CPO price and increasing infrastructure spending. We expect UNTR’s sales volume to grow by 7.1% and 5.0% in FY14-15, respectively, with ASP increasing by 3% and 5% due to its superior brand image and strong after-sales service. Exhibit 34 Gross margin trend Exhibit. 35 Spare parts sales and % of machinery sales Source: UNTR, IndoPremier Source: UNTR, IndoPremier Coal business to concentrate on profitability UNTR has decided to delay its expansion in the coal business due to the weak coal price and instead focus on profitability. The coal business incurred losses in 2H13, while over the past year the coal-mining business operated at close to break-even. Under such circumstances, UNTR will concentrate on profitable sites for its mining activities and reduce exposure to more challenging and costly sites. With a profit-oriented strategy, we expect UNTR’s production to reach 4.3mn tons (+3.5% yoy) and 4.8mn tons (+11.1% yoy) in FY14-15. Furthermore, we assume ASP for coal to be US$85.6 per ton (-10.9% yoy) and US$87/ton in FY14-15. Based on these assumptions, gross margin should recover to 1.0% in FY14 and 2.3% in FY15F compared with a net loss of -3.2% in FY13. Relying on contract-mining Due to the weak coal price, UNTR will rely on its contract-mining operations to generate stable cash flow. Renegotiation of contracts will be compensated by higher coal production volumes, thus having little impact on cash flow. The machinery segment has already reached bottom, with rising revenue from after-sales service and spare parts. Therefore, dilution of earnings from the machinery business is already limited. In coal production, UNTR will focus on turning the business into profit or at least breaking even, from a loss position last year. We are confident that UNTR will be able to do so. Overall, UNTR should provide generous cash flow to its parent company, ASII. 20 Initiating coverage Exhibit 36 Gross profit breakdown by segment in relation to coal price Source: UNTR, IndoPremier 21 Initiating coverage Plantation: strong US$ cash flow Positive on CPO price outlook Our plantation analyst, William Simadiputra, remains positive on the CPO sector with a CPO price assumption of US$900 for FY14 and US$1,000 for FY15, based on a tightening global supply/demand outlook for CPO. Subdued growth in supply is expected in Indonesia and Malaysia, with CPO inventory in Malaysia expected to stay below 2.0mn tons in FY14. Indonesia’s CPO production growth is expected to be low given that ageing trees are affecting small farmers and government-owned estates. In addition, restrictive regulations, such as the 100,000 ha land-bank limitation for privately owned planters and a two-year moratorium, should stifle any excess estate expansion and create higher entry barriers to the industry. Also, Indonesia’s CPO exports to China and India have been recovering over the past six months—a trend that is expected to continue. Demand from China and India accounts for 50% of total global CPO consumption. The bio-diesel requirement in Indonesia may also boost demand for CPO if implemented consistently.

However, the CPO price is beyond the control of any CPO plantation company, including AALI. Plantation companies such as AALI are able to control the production process, which leads to cost controls and higher yields. We remain positive on AALI mainly for two reasons: • • 22 Successful intensification program Ample cash for land acquisitions Initiating coverage Enhancing yields through intensification Ageing trees should be a major concern for AALI, as the average age of its matured estate is 16 years—very close to peak maturity of 18 years. This is relatively high compared with younger plantations, such as BW Plantation (BWPT, Rp 1,280, BUY) of 12 years and Sampoerna Agro (SGRO, Rp 2,300, BUY) of 14 years. Given such maturity, AALI faces decelerating yields in the near future, as its trees will pass the prime age. However, thanks to an innovative intensification program, AALI has been able to enhance yields of its prime-age trees. We expect that this program will support CPO production yields for the next three years. Also, 25% of its current estate size (44k ha) will enter early prime-age of 8-18 years. Combining the intensification program with early prime age trees (planted in FY05-09), we expect AALI to yield 24.5 ton per ha in FY14-16. Exhibit 41 Age profile AALI vs others (years) Source: AALI, LSIP, BWPT and SGRO Exhibit 42 Intensification helps to extend prime age by improving yields Exhibit 43 AALI’s annual CPO output Source: AALI, IndoPremier Source: AALI, IndoPremier Abundant cash for acquisitions AALI faces constraints in production growth due to the high maturity profile of its estate. It has 200,000 ha of estate, of which only 5% is unplanted. In contrast, young plantation companies such as BWPT have a 50:50 composition of planted-unplanted. This raises the issue of possible M&A activity, especially with the Government’s new regulation restricting land bank for privately unlisted planters to a maximum 100k ha. 23 Initiating coverage Exhibit 44 Potential acquisition capacity of AALI Funding Capacity @ net gearing 200% - Rp bn 22,104 Acquisition cost EV/ha - Rp bn @ IPO SSMS – Sawit Sumbermas Sarana 111.5 DSNG – Dharma Satya Nusantara 107.1 Average – Rp bn 109.3 Total land acquisition 202,255 Source: SSMS, DSNG and IndoPremier This scenario is based on the following assumptions: 1. If AALI maxes out its debt covenant to 200% net gearing, totaling funds of Rp 23tn 2. Acquisition cost of Rp 110m/ha (based on EV/ha of recent IPO listing of SSMS and DSNG) In this scenario, AALI should be able to double its size by acquiring 200,000ha. However, this raises the question of availability, as few CPO plantations are available or the estate quality may not justify the price due to low yields, insufficient fertilizer affecting future harvests, and lack of availability of mills and other infrastructure. Exhibit 45 AALI’s net gearing Source: AALI, LSIP, BWPT and SGRO Another cash cow and US$-earner for ASII In the context of ASII, AALI is another cash cow that earns US$ for ASII. We expect that AALI to generate a strong EBITDA of Rp 5.2tn and Rp 6.3tn in FY14-15, combined with relatively flat capex of Rp 2.2tn and Rp 2.4tn, respectively. In addition, the company is expected to maintain its low gearing of less than 10% in FY14-15F. Therefore, AALI should have sufficient room to leverage its balance sheet for M&A activities if needed. The recent IPOs translate into an EV/ha valuation of Rp 110mn. Despite being a cash cow, AALI also provides protection against US$/rupiah exchange rate fluctuations. AALI should benefit from a weaker rupiah, providing a natural hedge against the automotive business, which is likely to be hurt by rupiah weakness. 24 Initiating coverage Financial services: enhancing returns via internal synergies The financial services of ASII contributed about 22% to total divisional income, the second-largest after the automotive segment. Financial services consist of: • • • • • 4W financing with contribution from Astra Sedaya Finance (ASDF, non-listed) and Toyota Astra Financial Service (TAFS, non-listed) 2W financing under Federal International Finance (FIFA, non-listed) Heavy equipment financing served by SAN finance (SANF, non-listed) and Komatsu Astra Finance (KAF, non-listed) Banking provided by Bank Permata (BNLI, Rp1,335, not rated) Insurance under Asuransi Astra Buana (AAB, non-listed) Exhibit 46 Net income contribution from the financial services segment Company FY13 ASII ownership ASDF 1,014 100% TASF 133 50% 1,205 100% 242 60% 65 50% BNLI 769 45% AAB 851 96% FIFA SANF KAF TOTAL 4,280 Source: ASII and individual companies Total net income contribution from financial services was Rp 4.3tn in FY13 with the largest contribution coming from 2W financing at 28%, followed by 4W financing at 27%, insurance at 20%, banking at 18%, and heavy equipment at 7%. However, contribution by business segment is affected by shareholding ownership. We do not expect contribution by segment to change significantly over the next three years. Increasing contribution should come from 4W due to faster growth from low penetration, while 2W financing is expected to be flat due to the maturity of the market. Capital injections may be required for other financial services, such as banking and insurance, if faster growth is required. Nonetheless, ASII has not indicated that it will undertake this anytime soon. Exhibit 47 Financial services contribution by segment, 2013 Exhibit 48 Net income contribution to ASII by segment Source: ASII Source: ASII, IndoPremier 4W financing The 4W financing business is run by ASDF, a 100% subsidiary of ASII and TAFS, a jointly controlled entity with a shareholding composition of 50:50 between ASII and Toyota Financial Service Corporation of Japan. In FY13, net profit of ASDF was Rp 1.0tn, while net income contribution from TAFS to ASII was Rp 133bn (or a net profit of Rp 265.3bn). As ASDF is larger in size and being consolidated, while TAFS is recorded using an equity method, contribution from ASDF is significantly higher. ASDF is slightly different from TAFS, as the company finances new and used cars and heavy equipment, while TAFS concentrates only in 4W (new and used) under the Toyota brand. TAFS has a narrower target market than ASDF, which has more flexibility in 25 Initiating coverage penetrating 4W financing or heavy equipment. Last year, TAFS entered the leasing business for forklifts. The total outstanding finance sum for ASDF was Rp 26tn in FY13, compared with TAFS of Rp 9.4tn. The number of units financed by ASDF was 192k vs TAFS of 62k in FY13. The NIM of ASDF reached 7.3% in FY13 with yield spread of 5.3%, which is slightly above the banking sector with NIM of around 6%. We expect NIM of ASDF to contract to 6.3% in FY14 and 6.8% in FY15 due to increasing borrowing costs as a result of the tight monetary policy of the central bank. Moreover, 4W financing faces competition from the banking sector, which has a much lower cost of funds. ASDF’s funding structure is sourced from bonds issuance and bank loans with average interest cost of 8.0% in FY13. We expect interest costs to increase to 10.0% in FY14 and 9.5% in FY15. ASDF has strong ties with its 4W distribution network, which is a unique advantage compared with its peers or the banking industry, although banks may have more competitive rates. On the funding side, ASDF should be able to tap into a competitive cost of funds from Permata Bank, another sister company. Nonetheless, we expect net profit to decline by 6.8% to Rp 945bn in FY14 due to a higher cost of funds, but to recover by 26.8% to Rp 1.2tn supported by a recovery in sales volume and NIM.

In 2013, FIFA expanded its business by entering consumer multi-purpose financing, such as home appliances, electronics and furniture, under the brand “Spektra”. FIFA could leverage its customer base from motorcycle financing, providing a strong client base with a good credit track record. In 2013, FIFA booked total outstanding financing of Rp 18.8tn for 1.3units new motorcycle plus 522k units of used motorcycle. Meanwhile, multi-purpose financing booked Rp 1.3tn (+0.06% yoy). NPLs for new motorcycle financing stood at 1.3%, while for used motorcycle it was 2.23%, and multi-purpose financing was 2.64%. Given the maturity of the motorcycle sector, we expect outstanding financing to reach Rp 19.4tn in FY14 and Rp 20.3tn in FY15. Consolidated NIM was 15.6% in FY13, which is relative high given the high average lending rate of 20.7%. Motorcycle financing mimics micro-lending in the banking industry, where the lending rate is high to compensate for high operational costs. 26 Initiating coverage Nonetheless, we expect NIM to contract to 14% in FY14-15 due to higher interest costs from rising interest rates. FIFA has an excellent credit record with the company’s blended interest cost only reaching 8.8% in FY13. The company relies heavily on bonds issuance and bank loans as its main source of financing. In FY13, FIFA had outstanding bonds of Rp 8.1tn and bank loans of Rp 6.9tn. We expect that FIFA will have no trouble issuing new debt for refinancing or to support future growth. However, due to the tight monetary policy of the central bank, we expect financing cost to increase to 10.7% in FY14 and 10.8% in FY15. Given that the motorcycle market is now mature, coupled with higher financing costs, we expect FIFA to book a net profit of Rp 1.3tn (+7.7% yoy) in FY14 and Rp 1.4tn (+4.5% yoy) in FY15. Strong ties with Honda sales operations and financing, combined with a competitive source of funds, are the main strength of FIFA.

About 58% of its premium revenue is derived from car insurance under the local brand name “Garda Oto”. The car insurance business enjoys a close relationship with the financing business, which is offered to customers as a package deal. Total net premium revenue was Rp 2.2tn (+10.5% yoy) with a net profit of Rp 851bn (+16.5% yoy) in FY13. Despite moving into other insurance segments, the bulk of revenue is derived from the 4W business. With relative slower growth in the 4W financing business, we expect AAB to book a net profit of Rp 891bn in FY14 (+4.7% yoy) and Rp 970bn (+8.9% yoy) in FY15.

Each party holds 44.56%, with the remaining balance of 10.88% held by public shareholders. Recently, BNLI injected fresh capital of Rp 2.2tn into ASDF, representing about 25.99% of total outstanding shares. ASDF concentrates on 4W financing, while BNLI will not enter this segment. The company will support ASDF through joint financing or banking facilities. However, the business synergies between these two entities will be constrained by the legal lending limit regulation. Since ASII and Standard Chartered became the majority shareholders in 2004, we have not seen any significant change in the business model. The bank remains focused on both consumer, commercial and wholesale banking. The bank is operated relatively independently from its shareholders. We do not see any significant change of direction in the near future. The bank should remain within the top 10 banks in the country, in our view. With assistance from our banking analyst, Stephan Hasjim, we arrive at our earnings forecasts for BNLI. We expect earnings to decline 4% yoy in FY14, before recovering by 16.7% and 18.5% yoy in FY15 and FY16, respectively, on the back of stronger loan growth and a more stable NIM outlook starting from next year. We assume that the bank’s loan growth will decelerate to 14% in FY14, from 31.2% CAGR in FY10-FY13, due to a steep 175bps rise in the base interest rate in the past year as Bank Indonesia has tightened its monetary policy to lower the country’s external balance towards more sustainable levels. We expect loan growth to improve to 18% p.a. in FY15-FY16F. We expect the bank’s NIM to narrow further to 3.48% in FY14F, from 3.99% in FY13 (FY12: 4.60%), due to rising interest rates and BNLI’s relatively weak deposit franchise, as reflected in the decline of its CASA ratio to 35% in FY13, from 42% in FY12. We expect this level to be sustained in the coming years, given tightening liquidity in Indonesia’s banking system. However, we see scope for NIM to improve slightly by 10bps in each of FY15 and FY16, as interest rates start to ease gradually given an expected improvement in the country’s external balance. 28 Initiating coverage Exhibit 54 Loan vs deposit growth and LDR (% yoy, %) Exhibit55 Net interest margin (NIM) and CASA ratio (%) Source: BNLI, IndoPremier Source: BNLI, IndoPremier We expect Permata Bank’s asset quality to remain relatively stable in coming years with credit costs of around 50-60bps in FY14-FY16 (FY13: 47bps). As shown in the chart below, the bank’s credit cost has improved significantly over the past three years. This is thanks to new NPL formation declining to 49bps in FY13, down from a peak of 170bps in FY09 after the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, while the NPL ratio fell to 1.0% from 4.0% during the same four-year period. Meanwhile, we view the bank’s provisions/NPL coverage as adequate at 113% in FY13, which also improved from 98% in FY09. We forecast the bank’s ROAA and ROAE to decline this year to 0.92% and 11.1% in FY14, respectively (FY13: 1.16% and 13%, respectively), on the back of narrowing NIM and despite our assumption for the cost/income ratio to be maintained at around 60%. Going forward, we expect ROAA to be maintained at around 0.9%, but we see scope for a slight improvement in ROAE to above 12% in FY16F due to rising leverage ratios. 29 Exhibit 56 Credit costs, new NPLs (bps) and NPL ratio (%) Exhibit 57 Return ratios: ROAA vs ROAE (%) Source: BNLI, IndoPremier Source: BNLI, IndoPremier Initiating coverage Valuation We use a sum-of-the-parts valuation to arrive at our target price of Rp 8,400 for ASII, which translates into an FY14-15F PER of 16.0-14.0x and FY14-15E EV/EBITDA of 14.012.1x. Therefore, we have a BUY rating on the counter. We used a PER target multiple of 16.0x for the 4W and 2W segments, which make up 42.8% of ASII’s total value. Our target index for the year is 5,300, which translates into a market PER of 16.8x. We expect the 4W and 2W segments to trade close to market multiple as ASII has the largest weighting in the index. For other listed companies such as AALI, AUTO, and ASGR, we have used market cap at closing price, while for UNTR we use the target price of Rp 25,500 as recommended by our heavy equipment analyst. On the financing side, we impute PBV of 3.0x due to high ROE of 20% for the financing companies. For the non-listed insurance company, we apply a PER of 13.6x, a discount of 15% from the parent’s target PER, to reflect the value of a private company. Meanwhile, for BNLI we apply a PBV of 1.4x, similar to the current PBV of Bank Danamon (BDMN, Rp 4,325, HOLD).

We see several key risks that might affect the valuation and financial performance of ASII such as: 1. 2. 3. 4. 30 Change in policy on the fuel subsidy. Faced with high fuel subsidies, the new government may change the policy on the ballooning budget allocated to fuel subsidies. Higher fuel prices always hamper demand in the automotive sector due to higher costs of financing and weaker purchasing power. Change in policy on LCGCs. The introduction of LCGC with tax incentive from the Government has opened a new segment. At the moment, the LCGC models are well accepted in the market. However, with rising concern over the fuel subsidy, there is a possibility for the Government to re-evaluate its policy on tax incentives for LCGCs or ban LCGC cars from using subsidized fuel. Either would have a negative impact on demand for LCGCs. Exchange rate movement. The price of 4W and 2W is highly linked to the US$ exchange rate, through raw material costs. A weaker rupiah translates into a more expensive selling price. We suspect that the current selling price has yet to reflect the full translation of the weaker rupiah. ASII may be somewhat shielded by its agribusiness, which has revenues in US$. But the net effect would still be negative. Weak commodity prices. Listed companies UNTR and AALI are highly influenced by commodity prices. A prolonged recovery in commodity prices Initiating coverage 5. 31 would negatively impact ASII’s net profit and valuation. Nonetheless, we feel that commodity prices have now reached bottom. Intensified competition. Rivals of Toyota/Daihatsu in 4W and Honda in 2W have stepped up the intensity of competition by entering the main market of ASII. Nonetheless, Toyota is used to facing such competition in the global market, and it should not be something new for ASII and Toyota. However this situation might erode market share and profit margins.
