OK anyway, mungkin istilahnya bukan "bocoran" yah since I'm not one of them & I'm don't know personally with its management. However I could share my view a bit on this stuff.. Important thing about FPNI is that if you see at its business segmentation, it gained more than 90% from Polyethylene business while only less than 10% from plastic sheet BOPP. This was after Titan tookover FPNI at early-2008 if I'm not mistaken, while before they only have 100% of plastic sheet BOPP business. This would be one of the reason of their "turn-around story". 2nd thing is about its Polyethylene business. As you mentioned, this is a very prospectfull business in Indonesia since Indonesia's demand of this products is outpass of its supply, or we normally call it as overdemand market situation instead of oversupply, which caused Indonesia as becoming net importing country of this product. Only 2 companies in Indonesia which produce this product. While the current (last year) company's production facility only able to run 65% as mentioned in the prospectous, right? I checked with my colleague in Singapore who works for market intelligence for chemical & petrochemical company, she mentioned about the electricity limitation which only allows them to run only two machine out of three they had. While in 2010 they already able to run all of their machine and will improve gradually its utilization to more than 80% (also mentioned in prospectous). Further about petrochemical business, my colleague explained, its spread margin (product-raw material) would float on a cyclical trend. Almost all of petrochemical products has more than 90% correlation to crude oil, while the rest is dictate by the regional market supply/demand. And the only way to improve the operating margin is only to operate at higher level of production rate to spread the fixed cost and to be more efficient. Yes, this is an economic of scale business that you have to run at high rate to gain more profit.. That's why during down margin cycle in 2006-2008 it record a negative earning since only running at even below 50% (check its last year public expose). While they don't have to worry on the market since the market can absorb whatever they produce. 3rd thing about its plastic sheet business which only contribute for less than 10%, its production facility even much worse compared to its Polyethylene, it only ran at below 40% (see last year public expose material) before acquired by Titan, while in the near future it will improve its operation by almost double. This would give significant impact on its margin since this business is also a volume sensitive business... About A+ bond rating from Fitch, I would rather see it due to its cash convertion cycle, current/quick ratio, and its financial structure besides its expansion plan... Kang Bagus, pls share your numbers on this issue for FPNI compared to the industry (TPIA, BRPT, or AKPI for its plastic sheet business). I have sense that FPNI is leading way beyond its industry in terms of its cash management. While in terms of business risk on the market side would be very small while on the margin side would still depend on its expansion plan to improve utilization both for Polyehtylene & plastic sheet business... Yes Kang Bagus, pls share more on the numbers & your views on those numbers to enlighten us..
