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.

  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).

  Regards
