WTON: Building The Nation Initiate BUY at IDR1,327; Potential Upside of 11,97%- The structural growth potential for Wijaya Karya Beton (WTON) is supported by dominating market share for each business segment, bright future precast concrete product, and increasing concrete consumption projection on few years ahead. In our perspective, increasing capacity production house will improve the earnings. In addition, their good historical healthy balance sheet, track record in steady earnings growth given its defensive nature, we recommend to BUY with target price of IDR1,327; a potential upside of 11.97%. Higher Sales with solid performance WTON has expansion with allocated their capital expenditure to increasing production capacity & Working Capital from IPO Proceed, and starting to gain the benefits in near future. Moreover, Precast Concrete Demand will grow with CAGR 16.3% in 2014-2018 which is higher than the historical growth of CAGR 9.9% in 2011-2013. In the past five years, the company's revenue continued to increase and recorded a 12,62% CAGR with the major contributors to the Piling sector above 50 % on revenues followed by concrete bridge sector and the sector of railroad padsWTON also had a sustained growth on the back of MP3EI, the Masterplan for Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia’s Economic Develpoment, through 2025. WTON’s integrated plants should help pave the way for operating efficiencies, enhanced by 6 selling areas across the archipelago and supported by a wide client base.

Solid Fundamentals and Valuations We use DCF model as our primary model, and Residual Income & Abnormal Earning Growth as the robustness check. Our valuation models lead to a target price of IDR 1.327, supported by the DCF, PBR and, PER. We believe WijayaKaryaBeton may offer a long term upside from the high room to grow in its Piling division performance and underpenetrated market unit performance with the support from the established concrete bridge and railroad pads. The steady and diversified business model of WijayaKaryaBeton with a defensive nature is a big plus.

Industry Overview and Competitive Analysis s Indonesia Macro Economic Performance Recorded a Surplus Balance Despite the Negative Trend in Emerging Market (EM) Countries Global economy slumped by 3.1% in 2012 to 3.0% in 2013 as the effects of U.S monetary policy that deliver negative impact on emerging market (EM) countries, except the Indonesia which recorded a current account deficit declined significantly and a surplus on balance of payments. The Government successfully achieved economic growth of 5.8% in 2013, exceeding the IMF forecast of 5.3%. Although the economy is expected to weaken in Q4 of 2014, IMF forecasted that Indonesia will managed strong in 2015, back to its GDP positive trend by handling the economy right through tight and structural monetary policy. Indonesian Central Bank (BI) believes that economic growth in the future will be more balanced so that it will further strengthen the economic stability. Priority Policy of the New Government Infrastructure sector looks very promising because this sector is national priority for the Indonesian government at the moment. Measured from The State Budget allocation for this sector has positive trend from IDR78.7 trillion (USD6.4 billion) in 2008 to IDR206 trillion (USD16.8 billion) in 2014. The new government of Jokowi even stated that the allocation for infrastructure will reach IDR469 trillion per year by 2019. Money Injection to Accelerate the Realization Development in the construction sector is affected by the injection of funds for the realization of the project. Based on data released by Indonesian Central Bank, seen the total loans from the banking sector for construction has increased from year to year. In 2007, total number of loans is 36,799 and this number increased to 132,604 on September 2014. The data showed an increase in the number of loans of 260% between 2007-2014. Vigorous Infrastructure Realization in Indonesia to be Continue Infrastructure sector also effected by the Masterplan for Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia's Economic Development (MP3EI) from 2011 to 2025, which already realizing 204 infrastructure projects with a total investment of IDR412.3 trillion (USD33.9 billion) within a period of 3 years (2011 to June 2014). The target investment value of this infrastrucutre project is IDR1,786 trillion (USD147 billion) by the end of 2025. Infrastructure Development Creates Demand for the Industry The total contribution of GDP from the cement and concrete industry sector rose by 6.7% from the first half of 2013. This uptrend of contribution strongly believe effected the demand for precast concrete to experience the same thing. The demand is currently at 3,748,000 ton and predicted to reach 7,965,000 ton demand by 2018 with Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) at 16.3% . The same situation happen in WTON annual net profit which also increasing. WTON booked a rise of 24% in 2014’s first semester net profit than last year’s net profit at the same period. Investment Regulation Expected to Reform High dependence on government that run the MP3EI, the realization of investments in the infrastructure sector slow down as a result of the election in the middle of 2014. During this project realization, it hampered in inter-agency coordination and officer at local levels. However, because the new government has been formed, the process is expected to be back to normal as the result of reformation in the bureaucracy. This will allow the infrastructure sector to recover and grow because more than half the infrastructure projects run by private contractors which requires permission from the state officer .

Capacity Share in Indonesia

Competitive Positioning WTON has a Sustainable Business Model for Expansion and strong future growth The company’s growth is supported by the increasing demand of infrastructure products especially in Indonesia, its precast concrete stock which has big capacity production to compete under penetrated market, its strong balance sheet, its precast concrete product which is the company has a lot of experience to prevent risk, also precast concrete from WIKA Beton has dominate indonesian market share. Moreover, part of the company’s expansion plan is financed by the share capital from the market. Competitive in Precast Concrete Industry The Porter’s Five Forces model indicates that WIKA Beton has a strong advantage in Precast Concrete industry ,especially in the threat of new entrants, bargaining power of supplier, and intensity of competitive rivalry. WIKA Beton enjoys its dominance due to the high barrier of entry to precast concrete industry, making it as the largest precast concrete company in Indonesia. Bright Expansion Outlook in Indonesia Massive development in infrastructure sector and its growing demand is predicted give WTON at least a total value of IDR4 trillion (USD326.8 million) new contract in 2015. Using the money from IPO process, WTON use 85% of share for the expansion by developing new factories in three locations that already had its groundbreaking in 2014. Beside that, WTON developed quarries in four existing factories. The company’s development of stone quarry sites secures the main raw material while the building of near-to-shore factories should enhance profitability going forward once economies of scale are reached.

Investment Summary y Intiate Buy Target Price of IDR1,327 Potential Upside 11.97% Currently WTON trading at IDR1,180 per share which we believe is discounted to our 12 months target price which is at IDR1,327 per share. Our valuation is based on our estimation that WTON growth will be higher in the future due to WTON aggresive expansion and Initial Public Offering (IPO). Earnings Up 30% (YoY) As a market leader in the precast concrete product industry, the Company’s growth is closely linked to the trends of infrastructure development in Indonesia Construction services sector enjoyed a 7.50% growth (BPS data related to Indonesia’s gross domestic products in 2012) and as we known precast concrete products become main components of each infrastructure development; Comparing WTON financial statement year 2012 to 2013, the company managed to increase its net income to IDR241.206 million as of December 31, 2013, or 34.48% higher than 2012 net income of IDR179,368 million. Such an increase in net income was due to the increase in Company’s revenue, Improving Revenue on Concrete Piles Growth The innovation on Two-Layered PC Piles is a method of pile production that is developed by Head Office. The method enables the use of PC bar and join plate with a smaller diameter on piles to produce PC Piles, which eventually improved the efficiency of raw materials and products. Through this inovation and other factors, WTON estimated revenue of IDR 3,543 billion, up 25-30%y-y. First half 2014 revenue growth 24%y-y CAGR. Concrete piles are WTON’s main revenue Contributor (66% of first half of 2014 total revenue). Followed by bridge concrete (13 % in first half of 2014 total revenue). Higher 2014 Operating Margin The Company has also increased its production capacity and new additional lines, new business expansion, particularly quarry and post-tensioning, as well as opened an integrated factory in South Lampung and another factory in East Kalimantan. In addition, the Company has teamed up with PT Krakatau Engineering to establish a joint-venture company in 2014, The realization of the Company’s sales was accounted to IDR2.64 trillion as of Dec. 2013, or 112.62% from RKAP that is worth IDR2.34 trillion. WTON booked operating income of IDR717 billion up 34% y-y with 24 % CAGR.

Valuation y We use 5-years forecast for WTON valuation by allocating proportion of each valuation. We believed this method present better result compare to Discounted Cash flow or Residual Earnings or Abnormal Earning Growth solely since each model has its own weakness. Such as Discounted Cash Flow have problem in its treatment to the capital expenditure and Residual Earnings & abnormal Earning Growth will not be accurate if the revenue recognition and discretionary accrual are being set as company wish. So by combining the method, we could neutralize the weakness of each valuation method. We divide the proportion same each method. Our team divide the proportion with giving more weight on Discounted Cash Flow (40%) and PBR & PER Term forecast it could explain in more precise way. We choose blended method since all valuation method is equally able to explain the same variation of change in WTON price.

Valuation assumption 5 Years Projected Net Income, Proportion for Each Method, Cost of Capital, and Continuing Value 5-year projected Net income assumption : we use 5 years forecast because Construction Business have stable growth in medium term. The revenue projection was based on projection of revenue driver by categorizing Demand and the government policy. Looking at all division outlook, we believed that WTON could improve the growth of revenue by 14,65% CAGR Forecasted Sales The five-year projected cash flows are derived from increasing sales due to the Demand of Indonesia Precast Concrete. It is assumed that the capacity production is equal to the sales production. The increased in production capacities are as stated in allocation of Usage IPO Proceed. Based on our calculation, sales are expected to grow at the CAGR of 12,62 % over the next 5 years. Company Outlook & Strategy In 2014, the demand for precast concrete will grow with CAGR 16,3% in 2014-2018 which is higher than the historical growth of CAGR 9,9% in 2011-2013. Moreover, MP3EI will increase demand precast for infrastructure which is equally 50% on average of total demand in 2014-2018. Cost of Capital There are several components and assumption to calculate Cost of Capital. The cost of Equity was derived from CAPM, the risk free rate was get from BI Rate, the market return was 14% with excluding special event. For the beta, it was calculated from unlevered beta WIKA multiply by debt to Equity team’s Estimation WTON. For the cost of debt, it was derived from corporate bonds with rating AA which is 9.5%.

5-Year Proportion Method This is generated from DCF, PBR, &PER valuation method by allocating each proportion of contribution. During the time projection, we forecast the company sales grow will be determined by MP3EI and Demand Precast Concete in Indonesia. This will have significant impact to the company sales revenue growth for the next 5 year projection. Weighted Cost of Capital WTON has capital structure 85% of equity and 15% of debt. We can find that WTON weighted cost of capital is 14.82%. Continuing Value: The perpetual growth is set at 5% which is logically conservative as it is below the inflation and close to the GDP growth rate. Weighting of The Models: We put each Valuation method same with the ratio of 40:30:30 for DCF : PBR : PER Conclusion: Considering the current WTON performance and its potential growth, we are sure that the intrinsic price for WTON at IDR 1,327 compare to IDR 1,185. There are potensial upside 11,97% exclude dividend yield.

Figure 12. Operating Profit Margin & Gross Profit Margin

Financial Analysis y Income Statement Performance Wijaya Karya Beton recorded sales CAGR 13.30% from 2009-2013, and our team believe that CAGR sales will become 12.62% in 2014F-2018F, driven by the revenue of precast concrete. MP3EI also have biggest stakes in determining WTON sales growth. Good Revenue and Earnings Growth Prospect Ahead We forecast sustained revenue growth for WTON on the back of the government’s MP3EI, the masterplan for acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia’s economic Development, though 2025. WTON’s Integrated plants should help pave the way for operating efficiencies, enhanced by 6 selling areas across the archipelago and supported by a wide client base.The forecasted WTON YoY sales growth 14,65 % CAGR. Good Liquidity WTON has a good ability to pay off its short-term debt obligations. Current ratio of WTON is stable around 1,057 in the next five years. While the cash ratio and quick ratio is also steady around 0.23 to 0.482 for quick Ratio & cash ratio. The greater the coverage of liquid assets to short-term liabilities the better as it is a clear signal that a company can pay its debts that are coming due in the near future and still fund its ongoing operations.

Figure 13. Cement Consumption in Indonesia

Investment Risk and Sensitivity y Macroeconomic Risk Fluctuated price of steel. One of the raw material used to produce concrete is steel. The price of steel is fluctuating and it is implied to the production cost.

Price of Cement Increasing Every Year. The price of cement is increasing every year, this means that WTON has to adjust their price due to this condition. Cement used as one of the raw material to produce concrete.

Unstable Political Situation. Indonesia have already choose the new president for the next five years. The problem is the executive and legislative are coming from different coalition party. The executive come from “Great Indonesia Coalition” and legislative from “Red and White Coalition”. This political environment will lead to a condition that the new president will find it more difficult to make a decisions and conduct regulations. Although the situation may get better, but still political is a dynamic thing which can change everytime. Operational Risks Decreasing Supplies of Natural Raw Material. This is caused by the limited of natural resources that used to be the raw material for WTON. It’s implied to the price of the raw material which will be increasing every year. Risk of a Labor Strike. As a concrete company which works in an industrial production, then labor is one of important sources. In Indonesia, there are a lot of labor strike happened to some companies that didn’t give a good treatment to their labor. So, there is always a possibility that labor strike will happened in Wijaya Karya Beton, but as long as they can make a good profit and treat their labor well, it will not be happened. Competition Risks The Decline of Project Ordered. Although the company is a market leader, but there is always a possibility for other competitors, such as Adhimix and Jayabeton Indonesia. For this time, Wika Beton is the concrete company with biggest production level, up to 2 million ton/year, meanwhile on the other hand, the other competitor just under 1 million ton/year. Other Risk. There are several other risks that lies in the activity and the nature of this business, such as production failure rate that may produce additional cost or late payment from the customers.

Probability

Appendix 17 : Risk Matrix

Impact

Low Medium High

Minor The Decline of Project Ordered

Unstable political situation

Moderate Fluctuated price of steel Increasing price of

cement every year

Significant

Decreasing Supplies of

Natural Raw Material

Risk of a Labor Strike

Macroeconomic Risks Fluctuated price of steel. One of the raw material used to produce concrete is steel. The price of steel is

fluctuating and it is implied to the production cost.

Price of Cement Increasing Every Year. The price of cement is increasing every year, this means that WTON has

to adjust their price due to this condition. Cement used as one of the raw material to produce concrete.

Unstable Political Situation. Indonesia have already choose the new president for the next five years. The

problem is the executive and legislative are coming from different coalition party. The executive come from

“Koalisi Indonesia Hebat” and legislative from “Koalisi Merah Putih”. This political environment will lead to a

condition that the new president will find it more difficult to make a decisions and conduct regulations.

Operational Risks

Decreasing Supplies of Natural Raw Material. This is caused by the limited of natural resources that used to be

the raw material for WTON. It’s implied to the price of the raw material which will be increasing every year.

Risk of a Labor Strike. As a concrete company which works in an industrial production, then labor is one of

important sources. In Indonesia, there are a lot of labor strike happened to some companies that didn’t give a good

treatment to their labor. So, there is always a possibility that labor strike will happened in Wijaya Karya Beton, but

as long as they can make a good profit and treat their labor well, it will not be happened.

Competition Risks

The Decline of Project Ordered. Although the company is a market leader, but there is always a possibility for other competitors, such as Adhimix and Jayabeton Indonesia. For this time, Wika Beton is the concrete company with biggest production level, up to 2 millions ton/year, meanwhile on the other hand, the other competitor just under 1 million ton/year.

Other Risk. There are several other risk that lies in the activity and the nature of this business, such as production failure rate that may produce additional cost or late payment from the customers.
