WHAT’S NEW

Fairly valued; lack of substantial positive catalysts ahead SSSG had consistently hovered at single-digit levels, reflecting the economic cycle. Following weaker-than-expected SSSG in 3Q16, management has lowered its SSSG guidance for FY16 to 5%-6.5% vs. its initial guidance of 7%-7.5%. Management claimed that the reason behind the weak 3Q16 sales was the misstep in inventory assortment surrounding the Lebaran peak season, particularly for women’s apparels, rather than competition from online or specialty retailers. On top of that, discretionary spending had remained muted in 3Q16, which we believe also contributed to the decline in SSSG.

The subsequent chart shows that LPPF’s SSSG has broadly moved in line with nominal household consumption growth. We expect the demand recovery momentum to continue in 2017 but only at a gradual pace. While demand for necessities had generally improved in 3Q16, discretionary household spending growth has yet to show signs of bottoming as it further eased to 4.3% y-o-y in 4Q16, still lagging behind non-discretionary household spending. We do not see a strong reason to expect a surge in nominal household consumption growth in the near future, which in the past year hovered between 7% and 8%. For this reason, restoring SSSG to double-digit levels would be a challenging task for LPPF, in our view. We now project LPPF’s same-store sales to grow by 6.1% in 2016F and 7.1% in 2017F (from 7.6%/8.4% for FY16F/FY17F initially). We therefore lower our net profit forecasts by 2%/3% for FY16F/FY17F. We expect LPPF net profit to grow by 18% in FY16F and 13% in FY17F.

A change in strategy? LPPF has committed Rp590bn cash to be injected in stages into Lippo Group’s e-commerce arm MatahariMall.com from the end of 2016 to 3Q17. The additional investment is made to avoid LPPF’s ownership dilution in MatahariMall.com, which recently raised equity of USD100m – led by Japan’s Mitsui & Co. Prior to this, LPPF owned a minority stake of 9.47% in MatahariMall.com.

There appears to be a change in management’s strategy with regard to LPPF’s investment in MatahariMall.com as it previously guided for no further investment in MatahariMall.com. Looking ahead, the company aims to maintain its stake in MatahariMall.com below 20%.

In a statement release to the public, management stated that it had not planned to participate in any further funding initiatives by MatahariMall.com, but the question remains on how far LPPF would let its stake in MatahariMall.com being diluted should MatahariMall.com require further equity raising after 3Q17. Not letting its stakes being diluted would mean that LPPF has to top up its investment in

MatahariMall.com, possibly at a higher price. We note that in 7M16, MatahariMall.com booked a significant loss of Rp490bn.

PE multiple has de-rated sharply to 2.5SD below historical mean. LPPF now trades at 19x PE 17F, -2.5SD below its historical mean since April 2013. The sharp de-rating in the past month has brought down LPPF’s PE multiple to a level that is on par with regional peers despite having the highest ROE. We believe most of the negatives, including the increase of investment in MatahariMall.com, are already reflected in the share price.

The company generates more than enough operating cash flow to cover its capex annually and even if we are to assume an increase in inventory days by 10 days in 2017 and 2018 due to a persistently weak demand environment or management’s push toward direct purchase sales, our calculation shows that LPPF can still generate Rp2.4tr/Rp2.6tr operating cash flow in 2017F/2018F. If the company maintains a dividend payout ratio of 70% in the same period and double its capex budget to Rp1tr per year, it can still fund the expansion using internal cash.

Our DDM valuation analysis suggests limited downside to current share price. We ran a three-stage DDM valuation analysis to estimate the level of reduction in potential future dividends that the current share price has priced in. Currently, LPPF maintains a dividend payout ratio of 70% despite its ability to raise it to 100%. Our DDM model assumes LPPF will grow its dividend at 13% CAGR over the next 10 years on the back of: 1) 11% net profit and dividend CAGR in the first five years, 2) 7% net profit CAGR in the subsequent five years and a linear increase in dividend payout ratio (DPR) from 70% in year-5 to 100% in year-10, and 3) stable growth rate of 6% from year-11 onwards. We assume SSSG of 6%-7% in our model

Based on our calculation, LPPF’s current share price range of Rp14,800-Rp15,700 implies a scenario of 32%-37% of annual operating cash flow or roughly Rp1.2tr-Rp1.5tr being retained to fund capex or working capital needs over the next 10 years. As a comparison, LPPF only allocates Rp450bn capex budget for FY16 (excluding investment in MatahariMall.com). This affirms our view that the current valuation has largely priced in a slowing SSSG and more importantly the risk of significant rise in capex or investment as the company works to achieve its goal to become an omnichannel retailer. Our key assumptions and sensitivity analysis on the DDM valuation are presented on the subsequent page.

We see limited positive catalysts, especially since the demand environment (particularly for discretionary spending) has yet to show signs of an encouraging pick-up. What can surprise on the upside would be if LPPF manages to improve its profitability, be it from further opex efficiency or improvement in sales mix (toward more direct purchase), and if there is further increase in its dividend payout ratio from the current level of 70%.

The company has continued to roll out initiatives to increase profitability, among which is to improve its sales mix. The company recently opens its first specialty store in Jakarta, called Nevada Store, to test the market. Nevada Store sells LPPF’s private label apparels and shoes i.e. Nevada, Connexion, Details, and Cole, which command higher margins compared to consigned merchandise. In 9M16, the higher-margin direct purchase (DP) accounted for 36.7% of LPPF’s gross sales (vs. 35.3% in 9M15). There is also room to improve its sales mix if LPPF can increase sales of women’s apparels, which command higher margins and currently only contribute 8%-9% of total sales.

Indonesia’s Internet retailing landscape in brief. Indonesia’s retail landscape is still dominated by brick-and-mortar shops while Internet retailing only makes up a small fragment with a share of less than 2% of total retail sales. It nonetheless has grown at a spectacular pace with a CAGR of 45% in 2011-2016, driven by the strong penetration of smart phones. Apparel and footware Internet retailing is the fastest growing category with a CAGR of 152% in 2011-2016. It represented 24% of total Internet retailing revenue.

Indonesia’s Internet retailing is still in the early stages, which means gaining market share remains the main objective of the key players for the time being rather than turning the business into a profitable venture. This keeps customer acquisition costs elevated given the tight competition among existing and new players to attract traffic. Two key challenges faced by online retailers in Indonesia are high unbanked population (over 70% of population does not have a bank account) and poor infrastructure.

Competition against online fashion retailers should not be overlooked. We visited some major online retailers’ websites to get the on-the-ground perspective on how intense the competition is among the players. We focus our observation on key players in fashion retailing, an area where we see that LPPF has an edge over the competitors given its long experience in the field. We limit our observation to blouse/shirt and t-shirt categories for both women and men. We also visited LPPF’s first Nevada Store in Jakarta to compare the price offerings against online fashion retailers.

The highlights from our observation are:

i. Key players are crowding into middle-class apparel market. The Alibaba-backed Lazada, Zalora and BerryBenka on average have 90% of SKU with final price (after discount) ranging between Rp100,000- 300,000 (USD8-22). As a comparison, the average basket size of LPPF’s offline stores is c.USD20. Increasing competition against online retailers should not be overlooked, especially since LPPF caters to the middle-class segment, which could turn increasingly price sensitive when the economy slows.

ii. For LPPF’s private label items, discount on online store nearly doubled that given on onffline stores. Discounts given on MatahariMall.com are generally higher than those in Nevada Store (offline). We observed that a 20% promotional discount is given on apparels sold in Nevada Store. The similar items are sold at a 36% discount on MatahariMall.com. It is worth noting that any promotional discount given for purchases made through MatahariMall.com is borne by LPPF. The impact of heavy online promotion is not significant for now as online sales contribution is still small, at less than 1% of LPPF’s total sales.

CRITICAL DATA POINTS TO WATCH Earnings Drivers: Stable SSSG and new store openings. We assume 6.1%/7.1% SSSG, and the opening of 8/7 new stores in FY16F/17F. LPPF saw weaker SSSG in FY15 (i.e. 6.8%) because of generally weaker consumer spending and slower economy, especially in ex-Java islands such as Kalimantan where incomes have been affected by low commodity prices and several closures of commodity-related businesses. Kalimantan’s economy is dependent on the commodity industry, such as coal-mining and oil palm cultivation. LPPF opened 10-11 new stores annually in the past two years. For 2017, we assume that LPPF will open 7seven new stores, in line with management’s guidance. Recovery of consumer sentiment. LPPF’s target market is mid-low/middle income consumers, which make up about 60% of the country’s population. A pick-up in the consumer sentiment, represented by the Consumer Confidence Index, would help lift sales growth. Larger share of retail sales to lift margins. LPPF operates two main business segments: consignment sales and retail sales. Gross margins from retail sales (or direct purchase) are higher than from consignment sales, at c.44% vs. c.31%. Going forward, we expect retail sales to outpace consignment sales, which would expand margins as the revenue mix shifts. Expect net profit to grow at 12% CAGR (FY16F-18F). Our earnings projection is premised on: (1) margin expansion arising from a shift in revenue mix (we expect the higher-margin retail sales to contribute 39% to LPPF’s gross revenue in FY18 vs. 36% in FY15), (2) new stores openings, and (3) an uptick in same-store sales growth as the economy recovers, supported by a debt-free balance sheet and strong cash flow generation. Low exposure to USD/IDR volatility. More than 80% of LPPF’s products are sourced locally, so margins are virtually unaffected by the volatile rupiah. Currently, the rupiah is hovering around Rp13,300 to the US dollar. Our in-house forecast for the rupiah is Rp13,876 by the end of 2017, implying 4% depreciation, assuming four 25bps fed rate hikes in 2017. We like LPPF for its minimal exposure to the USD and relatively stable earnings throughout our forecast period.

Balance Sheet: An asset-light, debt-free company. At the end of 2015, LPPF has paid off its outstanding debt, in line with its objective in being debt-free by end of last year. The other positive aspect is the company’s asset-light business model. We like that 100% of LPPF’s stores are leased – 70% on 10-year fixed rent contracts and 30% on revenue sharing contracts with the space operator. LPPF also does not rely heavily on distribution centres as its effective supply chain allows for just-in-time inventory system; its goods are shipped to its stores nationwide within 48 hours of arriving at the distribution centre. This business model has allowed the company to improve its operating efficiency, and its store and marketing initiatives have expanded net margins over the past few years. Share Price Drivers: Better-than-expected same store growth. A recovery in the domestic economy and a pick-up in consumer spending will be reflected in better-than-expected SSSG for LPPF. In FY15, LPPF stores recorded 6.8% SSSG, which was weak but relatively better than peers’ amid the slow economy. Key Risks: Slower demand because of higher price of subsidised fuel Increase in fuel price could reduce middle-low/middle income consumers’ disposable income, subsequently reducing discretionary spending. Limited available space for expansion LPPF’s store expansion could be slowed down if space becomes more limited. This could lead to a slower-than-expected revenue growth for the firm. Company Background PT Matahari Department Store Tbk engages in the retail business for several types of products such as clothes, accessories, bags, shoes, cosmetics, and household appliances.
