Valuation and Recommendation

Ace Hardware Indonesia is expected to deliver net profit CAGR of 8.7%

over FY14‐18e with return on asset of 15.7% and return on equity of

20% at the end 2015. At current market price of IDR 785, the stock

trades at 27.1x and at 24.2x in 2015. We initiate coverage with an

ACCUMULATE rating and target price of IDR 940 per share.

Retail Trade Industry Development in Indonesia

Indonesia, the fourth (4th) biggest population and economy in the world,

has large market share for trade and development. Indonesia’s economy

is growing, despite slower pace in recent years. In 3Q14 Indonesia’s

economic growth reached 5.11%. With population around 253.6 million,

53.3% of Indonesia’s society is anticipated to be urban population by

2015, according to Statistics Indonesia estimate. Rising income creates

cities from villages.

Besides, demographic bonus of productive age populace and growth in

middle income class are some of the reasons household expenses tend

grow every year. Local households with annual disposable incomes

exceeding USD 15,000 may surge to 19.7% in 2018 from 12.9% in

2014, according to Euromonitor. It indicates that in the next four years,

middle income class will grow 6.8%.

Households spending increases every year, according to Indonesia’s

Consumer Confidence Index (CCI), which stood at 120.6 in October, the

highest level since January 2014. Consumer confidence is at the top of

its range for the past five years, which may also boost spending at retail

outlets. Since January to October, CCI rose 3.3%. CCI is the index that

shows if the consumers are optimistic, they will tend to purchase more

goods and services. This increase in spending will inevitably stimulate

the whole economy.

ACE HARDWARE INDONESIA INITIATING COVERAGE

The increase of middle income class will be followed by residential

needs. Their properties are dominated by minimalist concepts. The

homeowners will seek knocked-down furniture, adapted for the house

size. Young families classified as middle income class tend to buy their

living needs at shopping centers or mall. This will also encourage growth

of retail home improvement and furniture outlets in Indonesia.

National retail trade turnover in 2014 is predicted to grow 10%.

Indonesian Retail Merchants Association (Aprindo) forecasted sales

value of modern retail trade in 2014 to reach IDR 162.8 trillion. The

number of retail outlets, comprising supermarkets, hyper-marts and

minimarkets tend to increase every year. The average growth is

currently 17.9% for hyper-marts, 17.4% for minimarkets, and the

smallest growth is supermarkets, which rose only 3%. The national

penetration in terms of number of outlets is lower than other ASEAN

countries such as Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. Market penetration

level in Indonesia is around 14%, Philippines 25% and Malaysia 53%. It

implies that market is still underdeveloped and has ample room for

growth.

For the next few years, retail trade industry in Indonesia is expected to

undergo development. The opportunity of expansion is still opened wide,

especially in areas outside of Jakarta and other metropolitan cities in

Indonesia. Expansion opportunities are present in areas outside Java,

such as Sumatra, Sulawesi, Kalimantan and eastern regions of

Indonesia, supported by growing population in those areas. In 2015,

urban population in Kalimantan is predicted to be 45.2% of its

population, Sumatra to reach 43.1%, Sulawesi 35.1% and eastern

region of Indonesia 31.6%.

Home Improvement and Lifestyle Products Players in

Indonesia

Ace Hardware Indonesia or AHI is the main player in home improvement

and lifestyle products. In the furniture segment, there are several

players such as IKEA, Courts and Chandra Karya Pramuka. IKEA and

Courts are new players in the furniture segment in Indonesia. IKEA

currently has one outlet at Alam Sutera, Banten, and Courts has one

outlet at Harapan Indah, Bekasi. The last is Chandra Karya Pramuka

who has experience of more than 35 years and has 3 outlets.

ACE HARDWARE INDONESIA INITIATING COVERAGE

Based on a survey by Lamudi Indonesia, Ace Hardware is the most

frequently visited store, with 67% vote from respondents, followed by

Informa, a unit of Kawan Lama Group with 37%, and Depo Bangunan

33%. From the three players in this business, no direct competitor can

be compared head-to-head, except for Do It Best Pongs, who sells

similar products to Ace Hardware. IKEA on the other hand, cannot be

compared as direct competitor to Ace Hardware, as it dominantly sells

furniture.

Business Overview

Ace Hardware Indonesia is a subsidiary of PT Kawan Lama Sejahtera.

Established in 1995, Ace Hardware Indonesia is the licensee of Ace

Hardware Corporation based in United States. The opening of the first

Ace Hardware store in 1996 at Karawaci, Tangerang, Banten, marked

the initial milestone for Ace Hardware Indonesia –or AHI– to keep

focusing on its home improvement and lifestyle retail business.

In addition to pioneering in home improvement and lifestyle retail

business, Ace Hardware has also been a player in toys retail industry

through the opening of Toys Kingdom starting from the first store

opening on June 4, 2010. Now Toys Kingdom has 4,239 sqm areas.

Currently, Ace Hardware Indonesia is the market leader in home

improvement and lifestyle business with number of outlets growing

every year. In 2014, Ace hardware Indonesia owned 110 outlets all

around Indonesia. In fact, Ace Hardware Corporation, USA, has also

recognized Ace Hardware store in Living World Mall of Alam Sutera,

Banten, as “The Largest Ace Store on Earth” in 2011. So far, the total

area of Ace Hardware’s 110 outlets has reached 302,499 sqm.

Aces Hardware’s expansion is aimed at middle-up class, by opening new

stores in metropolitan cities. The company prefers to open new stores in

a region if SSG remains positive. The consequence of constant

expansion is cannibalism among outlets outside Java and Jakarta, thus

reduces Ace Hardware’s SSG. Cannibalism happens when the distance

between one outlet and the other is too close. But Ace Hardware’s SSG

grew 4.7% in 3Q14, versus the target of 5% at the end of 2014. Ace

Hardware sets SSG target of 5% in 2015. Most of Ace Hardware’ outlets

are located in Java excluding Jakarta, comprises 39.7%, Jakarta around

34.3%, and outside Java around 26%. In the next five years, Ace

Hardware plans to rebalance its number of outlets in each region. Java

excluding Jakarta will be reduced from 39.7% to 33% in the next five

years, and regions outside Java, such as Sumatra, Sulawesi, Bali and

Kalimantan will be increased from 26% to 33%.

Investment Merits

High Gross Profit Margin (GPM)

Ace Hardware Indonesia maintained GPM at 46%-48%, one of the

highest GPM in retail trade industry. GPM in the last five years averaged

at 46.9%. It indicated the company’s ability to maintain high sales

growth, though COGS also increased in the last five years.

Internal Cash for Expansion

Ace hardware’s expansions have been funded with internal cash. The

company has low debt ratio. Ace’s prefers to seek bank loans than to

issue shares or bonds. It drew bank loan when it funded the entry to

toys business in 2010 and that so far is the only bank loan drawn by the

retailer.

Positive Same Sales Growth (SSG)

In the mid of huge expansion, SSG growth is still positive at 4.7% in

3Q14. In the last 3 years, SSG grew 12%, but SSG is in a declining

trend, due to massive expansions. The consequence of this is

cannibalism among outlets outside Java and thus reduces Ace

Hardware’s SSG. However, Ace Hardware’s SSG still has positive growth

of 4.7% in 3Q14, versus the target of 5% at the end of 2014.

Outlets all around Indonesia

Ace Hardware Indonesia has 110 outlets all around Indonesia, beating

other competitors in home improvement and furniture business. Ace

Hardware consistently expands to areas across Indonesia, especially in

urban areas such as Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi, Kalimantan and Bali.

Key Risk Factors

Economic risk

The income level of middle-class customers and their spending priorities

are a few of the major factors affecting the Company’s business

performance and turnover, along with other factors such as weakened

purchasing power, inflationary pressure, electricity tariff and social

uncertainty. From April 1, 2014 electricity tariff rose 5.6%-27.7%. Ace

Hardware has several outlets located in shopping malls. Moreover, the

average national minimum wage increased 12.77% from IDR 1.58

million to 1.78 million. It may decrease retailer net income due to

increase in SG&A expenses.

Government regulation risk

Government regulations, such as changes in importation and trade

policy, taxation, and VAT could affect the company’s income generation.

Government has increased subsidized fuel price at November 17, 2014.

The effect from this policy may decrease household spending for lifestyle

product.

Exchange rate fluctuation risk

Rupiah exchange rate is important to the company, considering a

considerable portion of the company’s merchandise is imported. 80%

PHILLIP SECURITIES INDONESIA | 8 | P a g e

ACE HARDWARE INDONESIA INITIATING COVERAGE

Ace’s products are imported. 50% of the products are manufactured in

China, 10% in the United States (US), 10% in Europe, and 10% in Asian

countries excluding China.

Business competition risk

In the next few years, new competitors in retail trade industry especially

home improvement and lifestyle products could emerge. There are

currently only several new players, namely IKEA and Courts. These

competitors may reduce Ace Hardware’s market share and profit

margin.

Financial Overview

Third Quarter Update Performance

In 3Q14, Ace Hardware booked revenue of 3.4 trillion, a 20.2% increase

yoy. The revenue increase was supported by home improvement,

improvement segment which grew 21.9% yoy, and lifestyle segment

with 16.6% yoy advance.

contribution.
