Soaring profits for PT Timah Release date: 30 Apr 2007 (Source: ITRI) Indonesia's state-controlled tin company PT Timah today reported a Rp 314 billion (US$ 34 million) net profit in the quarter ending 31 March, 26 times higher than in the same period of 2006. Its margin per tonne hit a record level of $3,759/tonne, up from $313/tonne in January-March last year.
PT Timah's concentrate intake has increased dramatically since last October, when competing independent smelters were shut down in a clampdown by the authorities. Following police action against the other major Indonesian tin producer, PT Koba Tin in January-February this year, Timah became the sole legal buyer of concentrates from small scale miners in the country. Tin-in-concentrate received from inland mining operations in Q1 (nearly all purchased) amounted to 20,230 tonnes, three times the volume recorded in the corresponding period last year, while output from the company's own offshore dredges fell 23% to 2,099 tonnes. Reflecting the rise in concentrate intake, refined metal production rose by 48% to 14,350 tonnes in the quarter and there was also a large increase in stocks of concentrate and slag held at the end of the period. Stocks of tin-in-concentrate rose to 19,567 tonnes while the tin content of slags rose to 12,566 tonnes. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jonni Amin, CFA, FRM To: obrolan-bandar@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2007 1:52 PM Subject: Re: [obrolan-bandar] Research of TINS Saya lihat di spreadsheet tahun 2007E ada beberapa kelemahan: 1. tax-nya kok bisa positif, harusnya negatif -- mengurangi keuntungan dan bukan malah menambah keuntungan. Spreadsheet ini jelas salah. 2. saya lihat cara hitung cost-nya linear, dan harusnya tidak boleh linear untuk semua resource-based company. Artinya kalau harga rata-2 tin misalnya Rp 10,000 di Q4, dan ternyata di Q1 2007 naik menjadi 12,500 maka kenaikan tsb semuanya menambah keuntungan dan hal ini tidak ada kaitannya dengan harga produksi artinya hppnya tidak boleh ikut naik. Menurut saya kalau tins di Q4 2006 bisa meraup untung kira2 Rp 160 milyar (sebelum bonus) dengan harga rata2 timah Rp 10,000 per MT, maka di Q1 2007 harusnya bisa menjadi paling sedikit Q4 2006 + kenaikan rata2 harga timah (lebih kurang $12,500 - $10,000 atau $ 2,500) x 13,000 MT estimasi produksi Q1 2007x 9,000 USD/IDR x 70% after tax. Artinya paling sedikit di atas Rp 300 milyar untuk Q1 2007 saja. Jadi keuntungan Rp 412 milyar untuk satu tahun 2007 dari estimasi Kresna jelas terlalu kecil. Sekalipun harga timah menjadi hanya rata2 $ 12,000 per MT untuk tahun 2007, dengan produksi PT Timah min 45,000 MT x 9,000 USD/IRD x margin ($12,000 - $8,000) x 70% = Rp 1.134 triliun ==> atau EPS Rp 2,268. Harga valuasi (konservatif PE 8X) = Rp 18,144 Ini pendapat saya dan bukan untuk mengkritik. Tapi jelas sekali spreadsheetnya salah. Coba lihat lagi deh... taxnya kok bisa positif (malah menambah keuntungan mulai dari tahun 2007E ke atas).
