A quality company with a valuation multiple to match
Volumes, cost efficiency and premiumisation to drive growth
Initiate coverage with a Hold rating and TP of IDR40,400
A major player. Unilever Indonesia (UNVR) is one of the country’s largest producers
of fast-moving consumer goods. Its strong cash generation, high ROE (124% in
2015) and consistent dividend payments have resulted in its stock being a core
holding for investors seeking exposure to Indonesia. This report takes a deep dive
into its product portfolio and business strategy to identify what will drive growth over
the next three years.
Bright outlook: The economy is enjoying a broad-based recovery, which is
increasing the purchasing power of consumers, and the country’s favourable
demographics provide an ideal environment for consumption growth. This in turn
creates opportunities for product premiumisation. Our research provides a
differentiated way of looking at each of UNVR’s six leading categories which
generate 73% of its revenue. We assess the performance of each category in terms
of winners and losers. See page 10 for details.
Earnings forecasts. In 2015 EPS growth slowed to 2% but we expect this to
increase to 14.5% in 2016e and 16.6% in 2017e. We forecast earnings to increase at
a CAGR of 16% over 2015-18e, driven by higher margins from premiumisation,
volume growth, and improved cost efficiency. The capping of the royalty fee UNVR
pays to its Dutch parent at a maximum of 8% of domestic revenue from 2015 after
three years of increases is another positive.
Valuation and risks. We initiate coverage with a Hold and a target price of
IDR40,400. The stock is trading at 50.4x 2016e PE and 35.2x 2016e EV/EBITDA,
which is above its historical trading range. At these multiples, we think the positives,
including EPS growth at a 16% CAGR over 2015-18e, are already in the price. Our
DCF-derived target price implies 9% downside. Our 2016-18e revenue and net
income forecasts are 3-10% ahead of consensus because we have a more positive
view of the home and personal care segment. Our bull and bear case scenario
analysis (see page 8) shows that even under a bullish scenario, there is little further
upside. Upside risks include stronger-than-expected GDP growth, industry
consolidation, and acquisitions that are earnings accretive. Downside risks include
the implementation of a plastic tax, increasing competition in the food segment,
weaker-than-expected GDP growth, and health/food safety issues.

Earnings are set to rise rapidly
Unilever Indonesia (UNVR) is one of the country’s largest producers of consumer goods. The
company has a strong portfolio of home and personal care goods as well as food and
refreshment products. Its brands include Wall’s, Lifebuoy, Vaseline, Pepsodent, Rinso, Blue
Band, Dove, Rexona, and Clear. The company, 85% owned by its Dutch holding company,
Unilever (ULVR LN, Not rated) is one of the stock market’s largest companies in terms of
market cap.
The economy is enjoying a broad-based recovery, which is increasing both the appetite for
consumption and purchasing power. After registering slower growth of 4.7% in 2015, HSBC
Economist, Lim Su Sian, is forecasting GDP growth of 4.9% in 2016e and 5.1% in 2017e.
We expect the performance of UNVR to follow a similar pattern. In 2015 EPS growth slowed to
2% but we expect this to increase to 14.5% in 2016e and 17% in 2017e. An important part of
this story is premiumisation as consumers become more comfortable about spending more
money on a wide range of higher quality products. Unilever Indonesia is at the forefront of this
trend (See page 10 for details). We now take a closer look at the company’s business.

Winners and losers
Six product categories contribute 73% of UNVR’s revenue. We analyse these business
segments and, overall, we find that the growth prospects are intact and margins resilient.
Winning: UNVR is doing well in skin care, hair care, ice cream, and sauces.
Losing: UNVR’s oral care segment needs more work. Specifically, UNVR’s toothpaste
variant for sensitive teeth has not gained sufficient traction on rival GSK’s Sensodyne.
Targeted growth: Even though UNVR has lost market share in the laundry care segment,
we think that the strategy of concentrating on the washing machine detergent segment that
targets the middle-to-higher income consumers, while avoiding the cream-based hand-
wash detergent to be the right long-term strategy.
Growth outlook for home and personal care underestimated
Our estimates for top and bottom line growth for 2017 and 2018 are ahead of consensus by
between 3% and 10%. We think this is because of our more positive view on the home and
personal care segment. We forecast the segment to grow at a CAGR of 15% between 2015 and
2018 as a result of robust growth in the skin care category.
Growth model
The company’s growth model is based on being earnings accretive. Between 2010 and 2015,
Unilever Indonesia expanded its market share in the following categories: skin care: +5.7%
(2015: 47.1%); hair care: +0.8%% (2015: 39.1%); ice cream: +12.2% (2015: 67.7%); sauces,
dressings, and condiments: +1.9% (2015: 19.3%).
Over the same period the company lost 2.9% market share (2015: 32.8%) in the laundry care
category because it declined to compete aggressively in the lower-end cream-based hand wash
detergent category. UNVR expanded its share in the automatic detergent category by 2.8%
(2015: 53.7%), while losing 2.2% (2015: 39.3%) within the hand wash detergent category.
Within the oral care category, UNVR introduced Pepsodent Sensitif Expert for people with
sensitive teeth. This competed with Sensodyne, the popular GlaxoSmithKline (GSK LN, Buy,
GBp1,624, TP: GBp1,970) brand, which had an estimated 7.8% market share as at 2015.
Between 2010 and 2015, Unilever Indonesia’s market share declined 5.8%, according to
Euromonitor, mainly due to the entry of Sensodyne.
Four of UNVR’s top six categories have a high degree of concentration. They are: 1) skin care:
the top three players control 68% of the market; 2) hair care: the top three have 77% market
share; 3) Oral care: the top three have 84% market share; and 4) ice cream: the top three
control 94% of the market. We estimate that 57% of Unilever Indonesia’s revenue is attributable
to segments with high levels of concentration.
Royalty expense will no longer be a drag on EBIT
UNVR has undertaken a series of initiatives to improve top line growth and cost efficiency.
These include the use market intelligence to increase consumption, improving labour
productivity, stretching operational efficiency, re-sizing stock keeping units (SKUs) and zero-
based budgeting.
However, the results are hard to quantify due to the yearly adjustment in royalty payments to its
Anglo-Dutch parent company, which started in 2013. Royalties, as a percentage of revenue,
have climbed from 3.4% of revenue in 2012 to 4.5% in 2013, 5.6% in 2014, and 7.4% in 2015.
This complicates the task off comparing the EBIT margin in different years.
Stripping out the royalty expense, the EBIT margin would have shown an improvement of
1.6ppts between 2012 and 2015 instead of a decline of 2.0ppts. Unilever Indonesia has done a
good job in making operational improvements and we think this upward trend in EBIT margin,
driven by the premiumisation trend, will continue. As the royalty fee is capped at a maximum of
8% of domestic revenue from 2015, we expect royalty fees to remain stable.

EQUITIES PERSONAL PRODUCTS
20 September 2016
Even though its valuation appears expensive, we do not think it is unreasonable. We think that
the rich valuation reflects UNVR’s superior ROE (2015: 124%), consistent dividend pay-out (in
between 80% and 108% and averaging 91% over the past decade), and potential growth level
(between 14.6% and 17.0% over 2016-18e). UNVR’s share price has historically traded at a
premium relative to consensus target prices, reflecting its cash generating ability and growth
potential. Based on current valuations of 50.4x 2016e PE and 35.2x 2016e EV/EBITDA, UNVR
is trading at an all-time high relative to its own history. Furthermore, UNVR’s current valuation
premium relative to the JCI is also at an all-time high relative to historical premium levels.
Our DCF-derived target price of IDR40,400 implies 9% downside to the current price. We initiate
coverage on Unilever Indonesia with a Hold rating because even though we think Unilever
Indonesia can look forward to many operational improvements – purchasing power driven by an
improving economy, operational efficiency, and working capital management – we think these
factors are already in the price. Furthermore, given the absence of negative catalysts, we think
that the rich valuations may be sustainable.
Risks
Upside risks: Stronger-than-expected GDP growth, consolidation among the players may ease
competitive intensity, acquisitions that are earnings accretive, and favourable sentiment towards
Indonesia may benefit UNVR’s stock. Downside risks: Implementation of plastic tax, increasing
competitive intensity in the food segment, a weaker-than-expected GDP growth rate may be
negative for consumption appetite, and health/food safety issues related to UNVR’s products.

How we are different from consensus
Our rating is in line with consensus, given that 47% of covering analysts have a Hold rating on
Unilever Indonesia. Our revenue and earnings estimates are in line with Thomson Reuters
consensus for 2016. However, we are ahead of Thomson Reuters consensus in 2017 and
2018. This is because we are more optimistic about Unilever Indonesia’s ability to grow its home
and personal care segment and extract cost efficiencies, particularly in spending on advertising
and market research.
Our research also provides a differentiated way of looking at each of UNVR’s six leading categories
which generate 73% of the company’s revenue. We assess the performance of each category in
terms of winners and losers and identify the premiumisation trends. See page 10 for details.
Bull and bear care scenarios
Bull case
This scenario has Unilever Indonesia expanding its EBIT margin to 24% by 2018e, coupled with
a decline in its cost of equity (and hence WACC) of 100bp to 8.5%. This would warrant a
valuation of IDR48,690, representing 10% upside to the current market price. Margin expansion
and a decline in the cost of equity could occur in the following circumstances:
Stronger-than-expected GDP growth may be positive for consumption and
purchasing power.
Consolidation or mergers may ease the competitive environment.
Acquisitions that are earnings accretive may be positive for Unilever Indonesia.
Because Unilever Indonesia is a significant component of the Jakarta Composite
Index (JCI), improving sentiment towards Indonesia may result in inflows into
Unilever Indonesia stock.
Bear case
The company experiences EBIT margin compression to 20% by 2018e, warranting a valuation
of IDR37,083, representing 16% downside to the current market price. Margin compression
could occur in the following scenario:
Implementation of excise tax that penalizes producers using plastic bottles and packing
may be negative for Unilever Indonesia.
Increasing competition, particularly within the food and refreshment category, may be
negative for the company.
Weaker-than-expected GDP growth may be negative for consumption.
Under-investment in advertising and brand building may be negative for the long-term
growth of the business.
Failure to consistently innovate and launch new products/expand on existing category may
be negative for the company.
Acquisitions that are not earnings accretive may negatively impact Unilever.
Health/food safety issues related to the products that Unilever Indonesia sells may result in
lost revenues, loss of reputation and impairment of brand values.

Home and personal care
Skin care
Unilever Indonesia is the leader in Indonesian skin care with a 47% share of the market, according
to Euromonitor, which estimates that the segment contributed 25% of 2015 revenue. Unilever
controls a number of leading brands in facial care (Pond’s) and body care (Citra and Vaseline).
Pond’s main competitor in the facial care segment in Indonesia is Proctor & Gamble’s (PG US,
Not Rated) Olay. Citra and Vaseline compete against Beiersdorf’s (BEI GR, Not Rated) Nivea
and Tempo Scan Pacific’s (TSPC IJ, IDR2,130, Buy, TP: IDR2,900) Marina. Skin care products
with whitening attributes remain popular among Indonesian consumers as fair, porcelain-white
skin is still widely perceived as the standard of beauty. According to Euromonitor data, the
Indonesian skin care market grew at a CAGR of 22% between 2010 and 2015, driven by facial
moisturisers and anti-ageing products which grew at CAGRs of 24% and 26%, respectively. We
think that this trend is driven by an increasing awareness of the importance of moisturising as
part of the consumer beauty regime, supported by rising disposable income.
Unilever Indonesia positions Citra as an Indonesian heritage beauty product which uses natural
ingredients. Examples include Citra Bengkoang White Lotion (whitening lotion which uses
turnips) and Citra Mangir Beauty Lotion (lotion which uses scaly ash, an evergreen rainforest
tree). Vaseline, on the other hand, is positioned as a mass-market skin care solution.
Based on Euromonitor’s data on market share the Indonesian skin care segment has a HHI
score of 0.252, which suggests a high degree of concentration. Furthermore, barriers to entry in
the skin care industry are generally high because of the need for economies of scale
(particularly in the area of distribution throughout Indonesia), brand equity, customer loyalty, and
initial capital requirement.

We think that the skin care segments are driven by two major factors – whitening and anti-ageing.
Most major brands have SKUs that address these needs. Comparing Unilever Indonesia’s Pond’s,
which Euromonitor estimates has an 46.5% market share, with P&G’s Olay, the second most
popular skin care line with 16.1% of the market, Pond’s generally targets a broader, lower-income
market as the nominal prices of the products are cheaper.

Targeting the lower end of the market does not necessarily mean lower margins. For example,
Pond’s Age Miracle Day Cream, which retails for around IDR60,000 weighs 25 grams, while
Olay Total Effects 7 Day Cream, which costs IDR140,000, weighs 50 grams. In this case, it
seems that Pond’s is sold for a lower nominal price to accommodate the smaller packaging.
Hair care
Unilever Indonesia is the leader in hair care with 39% market share, according to Euromonitor,
which estimates that the segment contributed 12% to 2015 revenue. Unilever controls a number
of brands such as Sunsilk, Clear, Lifebuoy, TRESemme, and Dove across shampoo and
conditioner categories, as well as styling agents Brylcreem and Clear.
Within the shampoo segment, Unilever Indonesia competes against P&G, which owns brands
like Pantene, Rejoice and Head & Shoulders. In the conditioner segment it competes with
P&G’s Pantene and Rejoice, Kino Indonesia (KINO IJ, Not Rated), which owns brands like
Ellips, and L’Oreal Groupe (OR FP, Not Rated), which has Garnier and L’Oreal Paris. According
to Euromonitor, the Indonesian hair care market grew at a CAGR of 13% between 2010 and
2015, driven by conditioners (16% CAGR).
The rising popularity of conditioning products is based on: 1) many Indonesians (and Asians in
general) are genetically predisposed to hair cuticles that are thicker, wider, coarser, and more
densely packed; 2) the hot and humid weather encourages people to wash their hair more than
once a day; 3) many Indonesians have frequent, direct exposure to the sun; 4) many
Indonesians like to straighten or curl their hair.
Based on Euromonitor data on market share, the Indonesian hair care segment has a HHI
score of 0.251, which suggests a high degree of concentration. Barriers to entry are generally
high because of the need for scale, difficulties in distribution, and customer loyalty or stickiness.
TRESemme is an example of how Unilever Indonesia responds to local market trends.
Introduced to Indonesia a few years ago, the product has been gaining popularity thanks to
rising disposable income that allows more Indonesian women to indulge in frequent visits to the
hair salon. Introducing salon-quality hair care products that consumers can use at home opens
up a new product sub-category.

Oral care
Unilever Indonesia is the market leader in oral care with a 52% share of the market according to
Euromonitor, which estimates that the segment contributed 8% of 2015 revenue. The company
controls brands such Pepsodent, which is known as Signal in other markets. Pepsodent is the
leader in the toothpaste category, in while Orang Tua Group’s Formula leads the toothbrush
category. According to Euromonitor, the Indonesian oral care market grew at a CAGR of 8%
between 2010 and 2015.

The strategy of capturing market share and growing the segment has been successful. It has
resulted in: 1) the launch of variants such as Pepsodent Sensitive Expert Whitening, Pepsodent
Whitening and Pepsodent Herbal; 2) multiple SKUs with different sizes (50g, 65g, 100g); 3)
different price points (Pepsodent Gigi Susu Strawberry Bubble at 50g selling for IDR5,800;
Close-Up Diamond Attraction at 100g selling for IDR26,490; 4) different customer segments
(Pepsodent Gigi Susu Orange Fruity/Pepsodent Gigi Susu Strawberry Bubble for kids with milk
teeth and Pepsodent Sensitive).
Based on Euromonitor’s data on market share, the Indonesian oral care segment has a HHI
score of 0.326, which suggests a high degree of concentration. The main barrier to entry is
strong brand equity, built through years of advertising and marketing.
Rising disposable income and education levels have increased demand for oral care from
people with sensitive teeth. Sensodyne, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK LN, GBp1,624, Buy, TP:
GBp1,970) has filled this need and its market share grew from 3.3% in 2010 to 7.8% in 2015.
Unilever Indonesia’s Pepsodent Sensitif Expert has not gained traction as quickly, resulting in a
loss of market share within the toothpaste category.

Laundry care
Unilever Indonesia has the second largest market share (33%) according to Euromonitor, which
estimates that the segment contributed 10% to 2015 revenue. Unilever Indonesia controls
brands such as Rinso, Molto (a leading fabric softener) and Surf. According to Euromonitor
data, the Indonesian laundry care market grew at a CAGR of 11% between 2010 and 2015,
driven by automatic detergent (12% CAGR). Rinso is a leader in the automatic detergent
segment with a 54% market share.
We believe Unilever Indonesia’s strength in the detergent market is a result of its strategy to
avoid competing directly in the hand wash cream detergent segment. The overall detergent
category is dominated by hand wash detergents, which make up around 76% of the market. This
is due to the relatively low rate of washing machine ownership (32%). We think that as more
Indonesian households own a washing machine, the market will shift from hand wash detergents
to automatic detergents. Within the hand wash laundry segment, Unilever’s Rinso and Surf
compete against Wings Group’s Daia, So Klin, and Wings. Rinso is the most popular brand.

Indonesian laundry care segment by retail value
Source: Euromonitor, HSBC
The pricing for hand wash detergent is designed to be both affordable and available in small
packages. This caters to the lower end of the market, especially consumers on day wages. For
example, Wings Sabun Cream Ekonomi Putih (Wings White Ekonomi Cream Soap) is available
in 230g packs and retails for IDR2,300. Compare this with machine wash detergent, Rinso Matic
Front Load, which is available in 1kg packs and sells for IDR29,600.
We are optimistic about growth in the higher-priced machine wash detergent segment. The
washing machine ownership rate is 32%, relatively low compared to other Asian countries. The
shift from hand wash to machine wash detergent will be driven by: 1) improved electricity
supply; 2) the rate of urbanization; and 3) disposable income.

Based on Euromonitor’s data on market share, the laundry care segment has a HHI score of
0.249, which suggests a moderate level of concentration. We think that laundry care is unlikely
to be significantly affected by private labels, a view supported by conversations with grocery
retailers. The reason cited was that detergents impact how clothes feel, so customers are willing
to pay more in return for an increase in quality.

Ice cream
Unilever Indonesia is the market leader in the ice cream segment with a market share of 68%
according to Euromonitor, which estimated that the segment contributed 9% to 2015 revenue.
The company controls brands such as Wall’s, Paddle Pop, Cornetto, Feast, and Calippo.
Unilever Indonesia competes against privately-owned Royal FrieslandCampina (Campina
brand), privately-owned Diamond Cold Storage (Diamond brand) and Indofood CBP’s (ICBP IJ,
IDR9,475, Hold, TP: IDR8,650) TamTam brand. According to Euromonitor, the Indonesian ice
cream category grew at a CAGR of 17% between 2010 and 2015.
The main driver was “impulse” ice cream, which increased at a CAGR of 19% between 2010
and 2015. This category is dominated by single portion dairy ice cream that is more affordable
and also widely available throughout the traditional trade channels. The absolute price
differential between impulse ice cream and take-home ice cream is significant. A 56g serving of
Wall’s Paddle Pop retails for IDR3,500, while Wall’s take-home ice cream in a 750ml pack costs
IDR39,500. This makes impulse ice cream suitable for the price-sensitive consumer. By
comparison, take-home ice cream is usually sold in supermarkets and hypermarkets, which
target wealthier customers.

Based on Euromonitor’s data on market share, the ice cream market has a HHI score of 0.498,
which suggests a high level of concentration. Entry barriers are very high because the ice cream
business is capital intensive, has high storage costs, and requires an efficient distribution network.

Sauces, dressings and condiments
Unilever Indonesia is the dominant player in sauces, dressings, and condiments with a 19%
market share according Euromonitor, which estimates that the segment contributed 8% to 2015
revenue. The company controls brands such as Bango and Royco that compete with Kraft

data on market share, the sauces, dressings and condiments market has a HHI score of 0.140,
suggesting an unconcentrated market.

Bottom line
To recap, four out of Unilever Indonesia’s six leading categories compete in very concentrated
markets. They are: 1) skin care: the top three players have a 68% market share; 2) hair care:
top three 77%; 3) Oral care: top three 84%; and 4) ice cream: top three 94%.
We estimate that 57% of the company’s revenue is attributable to segments with a high degree
of concentration. The generally high barriers to entry confirm our view that top line growth and
margins remain sustainable and resilient.

Company profile
Unilever Indonesia is one of the country’s leading fast moving consumer goods (FMCGs)
companies. It produces and distributes home and personal care products as well as food and
beverage products. Unilever Indonesia is an important component of the Jakarta Composite
Index (JCI) with a 6.0% weighting as at 30 August 2016. Unilever Indonesia is majority owned
(85%) by Unilever NV/ Plc (UNA NA, Not Rated).
The company has a track record of delivering growth. Over the past decade, revenue growth
has always exceeded the Indonesian inflation rate. Furthermore, in eight of out the past 10
years, EPS has grown at a rate that exceeds GDP growth.
Investment thesis
We initiate coverage on Unilever Indonesia with a Hold rating and a target price of IDR40,400, which
implies 9% downside to the current price. Our investment thesis is based on the following factors:
We expect premiumization to drive revenue growth. We believe this is the right strategy at a
time of robust GDP growth. We forecast 14.5% and 16.6% EPS growth in 2016e and
2017e, respectively, supported by 4.9% and 5.1% GDP growth over the same period.
We expect operational efficiency and the stabilization of the royalty expense rate (at a
maximum of 8% of domestic revenue) to boost margins, while further improvements in
working capital management will support cash flow.
We think that the expected improvements are already in the price. UNVR’s current price
implies 35.2x 2016e EV/EBITDA and 50.4x 2016e PE, which is at a premium relative to its
own trading range. Even at this level, we do not think that the valuation is unreasonable. It
reflects UNVR’s superior ROE (2015: 124%), consistent dividend pay-out, and potential
growth. The stock has historically traded at a premium relative to consensus, reflecting its
cash generating ability and strong growth of 16% CAGR over 2015-18e.

SWOT analysis
Unilever Indonesia
Strengths Weaknesses
Strong product range and established distribution channel. Significant exposure to the Indonesian market with little external exposure to offset domestic weaknesses.
That most of Unilever Indonesia’s products are Halal certified gives a lot of comfort to Indonesian customers, the majority of whom are Muslims.
Exposure to the highly competitive and lower margin sauces, dressings, and condiments segment.
With the exception of the increase in royalty income starting 2013, Unilever Indonesia is generally recognized for having strong corporate governance.
Given the size of Unilever Indonesia, there are very few M&A opportunities that can significantly move the needle.
Opportunities Threats
Unilever Indonesia benefits from favourable demographics. Around 44% of the 256 million population is under the age of 25.
Possible introduction of excise tax on plastic bottles and packaging (the "plastic tax") is potentially negative. The exact framework of the plastic tax is currently unknown but it is likely to start in 2017.
Deep understanding of the consumer psyche presents opportunities to grow local products. For example, Unilever Indonesia recently introduced shampoo targeted at hijab wearers.
Increasing competition, particularly within the food & refreshment space, may be negative for Unilever Indonesia.
Acquisitions that are earnings accretive may be positive for Unilever Indonesia.
Health/food safety issues related to the products that Unilever Indonesia sells may result in lost revenues, loss of reputation, and impairment of brand values.

Management strategy
The modern trade channel in Indonesia has evolved over the past decade as a result of
changing shopping habits and the entry of multinational retailers. Despite this, traditional trade
will remain relevant in the future. Across the various product categories in which Unilever
Indonesia has exposure, traditional retailers account for between 19% and 72% of the
distribution. Unilever Indonesia’s dominance of the traditional trade channel is a source of
competitive advantage, given the difficulty in penetrating this channel. As a result of Unilever
Indonesia’s leading market share, the company has become the go-to supplier for modern
retailers, further enhancing its leading position and raising its bargaining power.

Geared for growth
We think Unilever Indonesia can expand its EBIT margin and enhance cash flow because: 1)
Top line and expense initiatives, such as deploying market intelligence to drive consumption,
improving labour productivity, stretching operational efficiency, SKU re-sizing, zero-based
budgeting, should all drive margin expansion. The absence of a royalty rate adjustment should
also help; 2) the further improvement in working capital management should enhance cash flow.
A product for every price point and consumer
Unilever Indonesia addresses different price points and different consumer demographics. For
example, 120ml Citra Advanced White Minyak Almond & Alpukat, which retails for IDR13,200,
targets low-income consumers, while Pond’s Age Miracle Day Cream (25g, IDR60,500) is for
the middle-class. Meanwhile, Citra Hazeline Lasting Cool Snow (40g, IDR22,000) is suitable for
teenagers from middle-class families and Pond’s Flawless White Brightening Night Cream (50g,
IDR88,090) targets the middle-aged woman with spending power. Unilever Indonesia’s range of
products across the skin care category contributed an estimated 25% to 2015 revenue,
according to Euromonitor.
Product innovation and monitoring of SKU performance
Continuous product innovation allows Unilever Indonesia to launch new product variants or
target new product segments on a regular basis. In line with the initiatives to improve efficiency,
Unilever Indonesia has been reducing the number of SKUs in recent years. According to
management, the number of SKUs fell from 1,200 units in 2013 to 1,000 in 2015. Management
is using a “one-in, one-out” policy and expects the number of SKUs to be stable. This has
resulted in a reduction in inventory turnover days from 56 in 2012 to 47 in 2015.
Strong presence in the higher margin home and personal care segment
Unilever Indonesia derived 70% and 82% of its revenue and EBIT, respectively, from home and
personal care segment in 2015. We see this as a positive because this segment has higher
margins and is less vulnerable to competition from private labels. Our conversations with
supermarket operators confirm our view that personal products and some categories of
household products are relatively immune to the challenge from private label brands. We think
this is because: 1) Personal products have a high degree of innovation, creating a real or
perceived difference in quality; 2) advertising and marketing expenditure build strong brands,
building the perception that customers are paying for a superior product. This is particularly
important for skin care and hair care products; 3) personal products generally last longer than
food products, so customers tend to be less price-sensitive when faced with the choice of
private labels versus brand names.

Financial analysis
In this section we discuss the earnings drivers for our three-year forecasts and the income
statement, which is used to form the basis of our valuations.
Revenue growth: Between 2010 and 2015 revenue grew at a CAGR of 13.1%. This was driven
by economic growth, the broadening of product categories and premiumisation. Last year’s
purchasing power was weaker than usual as a result of Indonesia’s economic slowdown and a
weakening IDR (against the USD). We expect revenue to grow at a CAGR of 15.7% between
2015 and 2018e.
Forecasts, valuation,
and risks
We expect revenue to grow at a CAGR of 15.7% between 2015

Improved cost efficiency is potential driver of EBIT margin improvement

Revenue growth – volume vs. ASP: Our estimates are driven by expectations that most of the
revenue growth will come from volume growth. We think that any increase in ASP will be the
result of sales mix improvement, driven by new products and premiumisation. This is the
preferred way of raising prices for many Indonesian companies. Outright price increases, while
possible, are unlikely to be significant. According to management, Unilever Indonesia increased
its prices by an aggregate 1.8% in 1Q16 and did not undertake any price increase in 2Q16.
Over the past decade, under a normal moderate inflationary environment, Unilever’s price
increases have generally been below the inflation level, according to management.

Gross margin: We expect gross margin to decline 0.5% in 2016e versus 2015 as a result of: 1)
the relatively low price of raw materials in 2015, in particular crude palm oil; 2) increases in raw
material prices, particularly for coconut sugar, which was not hedged in 2016.

Impact of changes in CPO prices on COGS
Source: Bloomberg, HSBC
Selling expense, % revenue: Selling expense, as a percentage of revenue, declined from 23%
in 2010 to 19.8% in 2015. This is mainly because spending on advertising and market research
as a percentage of revenue fell from 10.1% in 2010 to 8.1% in 2015. We believe this is part of
the company’s cost-cutting drive, which includes efforts to reduce agency fees, production
costs, and the price of ads.
As Unilever Indonesia is one of the top ad spenders in the country, we believe this gives it the
upper hand in negotiating favourable rates. As a result, we expect advertising spending to
continue to fall as a percentage of revenue (even though it is still growing in nominal terms),
from 8.1% in 2015 to 7.1% in 2018e.

General and administrative expense, % revenue: Between 2010 and 2015, general and
administrative expense increased as a percentage of revenue from 5.8% to 9.5%. The main
driver was the rise in service fees and royalties, which started to increase in 2013. The royalty
fee is capped at a maximum of 8% of domestic revenue from 2015. G&A expenses, % revenue

EBIT margin, % revenue and EPS growth
We forecast EBIT margin to expand to 22% by 2018e as a result of top-line growth and cost
efficiency initiatives being undertaken. These initiatives include the deploying of market
intelligence to drive consumption, improving labour productivity, stretching operational
efficiency, SKU re-sizing, and zero-based budgeting. As discussed earlier, the EBIT margin in
2015 is not comparable to that of 2014, 2013, and 2012 due to the adjustment of royalty rates.
As a result, we forecast EPS to grow between 14.5% and 17.0% over 2016-18e.

Balance sheet
Cash conversion cycle: Unilever Indonesia operated a negative cash conversion cycle of -20
days in 2015. The main driver is UNIVR’s ability to tap into working capital financing options. For
example, based on the 2015 annual report the company has an agreement to sell PT Bank BNP
Paribas Indonesia trade receivables that meet certain criteria. Inventory turnover has also been
rising as the company cut the number of SKUs from 1,200 in 2013 to 1,000 in 2015. We think
the negative cash conversion cycle is sustainable and could even be shortened. Many Unilever
affiliates around the world operate a shorter working capital cycle.
Gearing: Unilever Indonesia operates a minimal level of debt financing. We see no need for
aggressive capex and expect its gearing level to remain low.

Cash flow statement
Capital expenditure: Capex ranged between 1.8% and 6.5% of revenue between 2010 and
2015. We think it will remain within this range. Management guides capex spending to be
around IDR2trn for FY16.
Dividend: Unilever Indonesia has a history of paying good dividends, with the pay-out ratio
ranging between 80% and 108% over the past decade, or an average of 91% per year. We
forecast this to rise to 95% over the next three years.

Consensus vs. HSBC forecasts
Our revenue and earnings estimates are in line with Thomson Reuters consensus expectations
for 2016, but we are ahead in 2017 and 2018. Our more positive outlook is based on: 1) our
higher revenue forecast, particularly our growth estimates for the home and personal care
segment and 2) our forecast for declining advertising and market research expenses, as a
percentage of revenue. Our Hold rating is in line with consensus, given that 47% of covering
analysts have a Hold rating on Unilever Indonesia.

Valuation
We value Unilever Indonesia based on a discounted cash flow (DCF) model which assumes the
following: FCF CAGR 2015-30e of 19.5%, cost of equity of 9.5%, cost of debt of 5.3%, tax rate
of 25%, WACC of 9.5%, and terminal growth rate of 5.0%. We think DCF is an appropriate
model to value Unilever Indonesia because DCF allows us to model growth expectations and
changes in working capital and capex expectations.

Our target price of IDR40,400 implies 46.0x 2016e PE and 31.9x 2016e EV/EBITDA. Given our
target price implies 9% downside to the current price, we initiate coverage on the stock with a Hold
rating because we think that a likely rise in purchasing power, as a result of an improving
economy, better operational efficiency, and working capital management, are already in the price.

Source: HSBC estimates
Our cost of equity is based on HSBC global strategist’s cost of equity for Indonesia in 2016. The
9.5% cost of equity reflects the volatility of investing in Indonesian equity market versus the US
equity market. We think that a terminal growth rate of 5% is appropriate given that this is in line
with the GDP growth rate of Indonesia, and that the Indonesian FMCG industry is still growing,
with new products continuously being rolled out.
As DCF is sensitive to the various assumptions that are built into the model, we have run an
analysis that reflects the sensitivity of our target price to different cost of equity and terminal
growth rate assumptions.

On multiples-based valuations, such as forward PE and trailing 12-month EV/EBITDA, Unilever
Indonesia’s stock price is trading at the high end of its historical trading range. Relative to the
Jakarta Stock Exchange Composite Index (JCI), UNVR has historically traded at a premium, on
PE and EV/EBITDA basis. Current levels of UNVR’s premium are at an all-time high relative to
the JCI, perhaps a reflection of UNVR’s growth and superior ROE level.

Risks
Our valuations and ratings for Unilever Indonesia are subject to the following industry and
company-specific upside and downside risks.
Industry-level upside risks
Stronger-than-expected GDP growth may be positive consumption and purchasing power.
Consolidation or mergers may ease the competitive environment.
Because Unilever Indonesia is a significant component of the Jakarta Composite Index
(JCI), improving sentiment towards Indonesia may result in inflows into the stock.
Company-level upside risks
If Unilever Indonesia’s top line growth and cost saving initiatives are more successful than
we expect, Unilever Indonesia could grow its revenue and net income faster than expected.
Acquisitions that are earnings accretive may be positive for Unilever Indonesia.
If Unilever Indonesia is able to rapidly penetrate and dominate new categories, revenue and
earnings growth may be faster than we expect.
Industry-level downside risks
Implementation of excise tax that penalizes producers using plastic bottles and packing
may be negative for companies such as Unilever Indonesia.
Increasing competition, particularly in the food and refreshment category, may be negative
for Unilever Indonesia.
Weaker-than-expected GDP growth may be negative for consumption.
Company-level downside risks
Under-investment in advertising and brand building may be negative for the long-term
growth of Unilever Indonesia.
Unilever’s failure to consistently innovate and launch new products/expand existing
categories may be negative for the company.
Acquisitions that are not earnings accretive may negatively impact Unilever.
Health/food safety issues related to the products that Unilever Indonesia sells may result in
lost revenues, loss of reputation, and impairment of brand values.

Important disclosures
Equities: Stock ratings and basis for financial analysis
HSBC believes an investor's decision to buy or sell a stock should depend on individual circumstances such as the investor's
existing holdings, risk tolerance and other considerations and that investors utilise various disciplines and investment horizons
when making investment decisions. Ratings should not be used or relied on in isolation as investment advice. Different
securities firms use a variety of ratings terms as well as different rating systems to describe their recommendations and
therefore investors should carefully read the definitions of the ratings used in each research report. Further, investors should
carefully read the entire research report and not infer its contents from the rating because research reports contain more
complete information concerning the analysts' views and the basis for the rating.
From 23rd March 2015 HSBC has assigned ratings on the following basis:
The target price is based on the analyst’s assessment of the stock’s actual current value, although we expect it to take six to 12
months for the market price to reflect this. When the target price is more than 20% above the current share price, the stock will
be classified as a Buy; when it is between 5% and 20% above the current share price, the stock may be classified as a Buy or a
Hold; when it is between 5% below and 5% above the current share price, the stock will be classified as a Hold; when it is
between 5% and 20% below the current share price, the stock may be classified as a Hold or a Reduce; and when it is more
than 20% below the current share price, the stock will be classified as a Reduce.
Our ratings are re-calibrated against these bands at the time of any 'material change' (initiation or resumption of coverage,
change in target price or estimates).
Upside/Downside is the percentage difference between the target price and the share price.
Prior to this date, HSBC’s rating structure was applied on the following basis:
For each stock we set a required rate of return calculated from the cost of equity for that stock’s domestic or, as appropriate,
regional market established by our strategy team. The target price for a stock represented the value the analyst expected the
stock to reach over our performance horizon. The performance horizon was 12 months. For a stock to be classified as
Overweight, the potential return, which equals the percentage difference between the current share price and the target price,
including the forecast dividend yield when indicated, had to exceed the required return by at least 5 percentage points over the
succeeding 12 months (or 10 percentage points for a stock classified as Volatile*). For a stock to be classified as Underweight,
the stock was expected to underperform its required return by at least 5 percentage points over the succeeding 12 months (or
10 percentage points for a stock classified as Volatile*). Stocks between these bands were classified as Neutral.
*A stock was classified as volatile if its historical volatility had exceeded 40%, if the stock had been listed for less than 12
months (unless it was in an industry or sector where volatility is low) or if the analyst expected significant volatility. However,
stocks which we did not consider volatile may in fact also have behaved in such a way. Historical volatility was defined as the
past month's average of the daily 365-day moving average volatilities. In order to avoid misleadingly frequent changes in rating,
however, volatility had to move 2.5 percentage points past the 40% benchmark in either direction for a stock's status to change.
Rating distribution for long-term investment opportunities
As of 19 September 2016, the distribution of all independent ratings published by HSBC is as follows:
Buy 43% (25% of these provided with Investment Banking Services)

For the purposes of the distribution above the following mapping structure is used during the transition from the previous to
current rating models: under our previous model, Overweight = Buy, Neutral = Hold and Underweight = Sell; under our current
model Buy = Buy, Hold = Hold and Reduce = Sell. For rating definitions under both models, please see “Stock ratings and basis
