Reiterate Outperform but with lower target price of Rp65k (from Rp68k), still
SOP-based and implying 16x and 14x CY11-12 P/Es. We lower our target price after applying a higher WACC of 12% (from 11.5%) to our DCF valuation for its auto businesses. This offsets our 3% earnings upgrade for Astra largely on higher contributions from UT and AAL. Rising inflation and interest rates are near-term headwinds for its auto business. Consistent with past cycles, valuations could be derated, despite a sanguine mid-term outlook. Strong January auto wholesales provide comfort, and if BI can navigate inflation well, upside for Astras auto business remains. With a 2H11 recovery in mind, we maintain our Outperform rating. 2011 on track. Januarys indicative car sales were 74k (+6% mom, +41% yoy) and motorcycle sales, 664k (+29% mom, +32% yoy) units, suggesting that car and motorcycle sales grew in excess of 10-15% respectively. 2011 sales look good despite concerns over higher interest rates, higher auto taxes and uncertainties over the removal of fuel subsidies. Bearish stock sentiment aside, consumers and auto execs remain sanguine on the economic outlook. But near-term de-rating may be inevitable, going by past cycles of rising inflation and interest rates. Despite our unchanged view on auto demand and higher contributions from both UT and AAL, factoring in a higher risk free rate has hit our valuations for its auto-related businesses. This is why our target price has been cut to Rp65k.

INDONESIA

Outlook
Robust ending; solid beginning. 2010 was a tremendous year for Indonesian auto sales with car sales surging to 765k units, +57% yoy, and motorcycle sales hitting 7.4m units, +26% yoy, both representing new highs. It also marked a year when Indonesia closed its gap with Thailand in terms of car sales. 2010 sales were 2-4% ahead of our expectations. Low interest rates and plentiful liquidity were largely responsible, with GDP per capita hitting US$3k possibly also boosting consumer confidence.

Preliminary car sales for Jan 11 were 74k units, +6% mom and +41% yoy while motorcycle sales were 664k units, +29% mom and +32% yoy. January sales normally provide a good indication of what is to come in the year and this January points to a strong 2011.

Unshaken confidence. Despite bearish market sentiment over high inflation, higher taxes in the form of progressive auto taxes (50% more for second cars), limited subsidised fuel and cost pressure on auto manufacturers from higher steel prices, auto execs and consumers remain sanguine on the economic outlook. While auto prices are expected to go up by 5% or more this year, this is not unusual, which should have little adverse impact on demand.

Key is liquidity. As long as the BI rate is raised by 100bp or less, liquidity should be unaffected, based on our observations of past incidents of rate increases. Equally, since banks and finance companies are yet unfazed and given strong January vehicle sales, we are maintaining our 2011 car and motorcycle sales estimates of 847k units and 8.7m units, +10% and +18% yoy respectively.

Curbs in fuel subsidies revisited. The planned removal of fuel subsidies for private cars starting with Greater Jakarta in Apr 11 may be delayed. The excuse is infrastructure, as not all gas stations in Greater Jakarta are equipped to supply nonsubsidised fuels. The idea behind removing subsidies for fuel, not diesel, is to reduce wasteful subsidies to those who can afford, but not to produce an undesirable effect on inflation. The spike in oil prices of late due to the Egyptian political crisis may delay the scheme indefinitely. While this may have repercussions on investors perception of the robustness of the government budget (dependent on oil prices), any delay is clearly good news for auto demand. Even if the scheme is to go ahead, a switch from gasoline to diesel-powered cars or even motorcycles (also exempted) may ensue. The overall impact on auto sales should therefore be less.

Environmentally-friendly alternative emerging. The Department of Energy and Mineral Resources in conjunction with Pertamina is promoting a pilot project in liquefied gas for vehicle (LVG) as an alternative to gasoline. LVG costs less at Rp3,600/litre vs. Rp4,500/L for subsidised fuel and less than half the prevailing price of non-subsidised fuel. Even factoring in the cost of installing a converter kit (Rp15m-20m), savings are significant. LVG had been introduced to Pertaminas official cars and some taxies in 2008/09, in prototyping countries like India and Pakistan. For the scheme to work, the technology has to be proven, which may take time and LVG has to be available widely. Pertamina currently operates only eight LVG outlets, though it has plans to add 10 this year. If car makers chip in on R&D and provide credible conversion kits, the scheme could be a hit. Bullish on UT. We continue to see earnings drivers for UT and believe there could be nice surprises from heavy-equipment sales and a margin recovery for Pama. We conservatively forecast that equipment sales will grow by 11% to 6,045 units, driven by sales to the mining sector. We expect Pamas coal volume to grow at 10% CAGR in the next five years. We expect its margins to turn around on the back of higher productivity and normalising costs in 2011 as Pama has more than sufficient equipment to ramp up its production once weather normalises. Finally, we anticipate price and volume growth to power UTs coal-mining earnings in 2011. Volume expansion from TTA should lift its total production to 4Mt, up 60% yoy.

2011 could be a boon year for AAL as CPO prices are likely stay high while production should improve slightly. Our upgrades of AALs earnings are largely driven by higher CPO prices, though a higher export tax could affect effective price yields for local producers. We project earnings of Rp2.5tr for AAL for FY11, just a tad below its high of Rp2.6tr in 2008. CPO production generally has been hampered by weather while demand continues to be strong. At the same time, other edible oils such as soybean are experiencing harvest challenges. Such a situation suggests that prices may stay elevated for longer. Given its small capex, AALs current dividend payout ratio of 65% has upside, in our view.

Reiterate Outperform but with lower target price of Rp65k (from Rp68k), still SOPbased and implying 16x and 14x CY11-12 P/Es. We lower our target price after applying a higher WACC of 12% (from 11.5%) to our DCF valuation for its auto businesses.

Strong January auto wholesales provide comfort, and if BI can navigate inflation well, upside for Astras auto business remains. With a 2H11 recovery in mind, we maintain our Outperform rating.
