Looking through the smoke


In the right spot. A mix of strong brand name, pricing power, product mix, and
volume growth in a tough environment makes GG a strong contender in the
Indonesian consumer space, while its costs and revenues are almost entirely
rupiah based, making it immune to the currency volatility. The fact that the stock
has fallen 13% YTD and underperformed the market by 17% makes it an
attractive investment opportunity. Upgrade to OUTPERFORM (from Neutral).
Worries discounted; offers a buying opportunity. The market has
overreacted to the potential excise tax hike and higher VAT. If this happens,
we believe that GG has the ability to pass these through, as it has
consistently done in the past.
Turning cash flow positive. The favourable product mix in favour of
machine-made cigarettes should boost margins. Further, lower raw material
costs, and lower employee costs should provide a fillip to GG's profitability.
This improved profitability coupled with completed expansions resulting in
lower capex is turning GG free cash flow positive starting this year.
Upgrade TP to Rp66,800. Our valuation puts GG firmly below its peers
globally and within Indonesia's consumer space, with higher growth rate
(17% CAGR over 2015E-17E). GG has traded at a relative P/E of 1.25x
over the past five years which gives us a target P/E of 20x, similar to the
weighted average valuation of global peers. Currently it is trading 1 std. dev.
below this five-year average. Our new TP of Rp 66,800 implies a 26%
upside from current levels.

GG has an undemanding valuation, and it is trading at a discount to its fiveyear historical average relative P/E

Looking through the smoke


In the right spot

Upgrade TP to Rp66,800

Consumers are switching to machine-made kretek cigarettes (SKM) from hand-rolled cigarettes
(SKT) due to their aging profile and higher clove prices (impacting SKT more than SKM). This
benefits Gudang Garam (GG), as 90% of its products are SKM-based. The shift to SKM,
particularly SKM FF (fully flavoured) is in line with the results of Credit Suisse's Indonesia
Consumer Survey 2015, where smokers said they continued to prefer SKM to SKT.

Historically, GG has traded at 1.25x relative P/E. That multiple has dropped to 1x, which is
below -1 std dev. In our view this is not warranted given the company's improving performance.
We upgrade our rating to OUTPERFORM with a target price of Rp66,800/share (up from
Rp53,500/share), implying a 20x 2015E P/E, which is equal to its average historical relative
P/E of 20x. This valuation is also similar to the weighted average of forward earnings of
cigarette companies globally, whose earnings are lower than GG's. GG's earnings are
estimated to witness a 17% CAGR over 2015E-17E. Compared with the other consumer
companies in Indonesia, which on average trade at about 30-35x forward earnings, we believe
GG's valuation is warranted, given that its revenue and costs are mostly IDR-based, and thus
immune to the fluctuation in exchange rates.

We expect GG to continue to gain market share in machine-rolled cigarettes (SKM). We are


looking at GG to have a 5% volume growth on 7% higher ASP over the next two years, with the
market share in 2014 estimated to have been at about 23%. We believe that these assumptions
are higher than what the consensus is building into the valuations. GG has demonstrated its
ability to pass on prices, with its ASP witnessing a 10% CAGR in the last four years, and despite
the tough environment, its volume still witnessed a 4% CAGR during the period.

Worries discounted; offers a buying opportunity


The market has overreacted, in our view, on the potential excise tax hike and higher VAT, as
the parliament approved the 2015 Government of Indonesia (GoI) budget revisions in February.
The GoI is seeking a 24% YoY growth in excise tax revenue, or about 10% of the total
targeted tax revenue of Rp1,489.3 tn. Even though there is no clarity thus far on how the new
target will be achieved, the GoI stated that the increase will come from: (1) clamping down on
illegal cigarettes, and (2) a better tax collection mechanism.
If the increase happens, we believe that GG has the ability to pass these through, as it has
consistently done in the past. We ran a sensitivity analysis that suggests a VAT increase to
10% (from the current 8.4%) and an excise duty hike to 5% will require price increases of 5%
and 8%, respectively, to maintain profitability, assuming other things remain similar.

Turning cash flow positive


We have adjusted our estimates on GG by about 7% for this year and next, on the back of
higher margins that result from a better product mix as well as its ability to increase prices, and
as clove prices remain stable. GG also has lower employee costs thanks to its product mix. At
the same time, capex is expected to decline as it completes its three-year expansion
programme. Free cash flow is turning positive starting this year, with an improving net margin.

In the right spot


Consumers favouring SKM fully flavoured
Last year, GG saw its volume increase 5% YoY to 80bn sticks, whilst the industry, as reported
by Nielsen, saw volume decline 0.8% YoY to 349bn sticks. Thus, GG is estimated to have had
a market share of 23% in 2014, up from 21% in the previous year. The decline in the industry
volume has mostly been due to SKT (hand-rolled kretek cigarettes) products, comprising only
10% of GG's total volume, and down 14% YoY.
On the other hand, the industry volume for SKM FF (machine made fully flavoured kretek
cigarettes) was up 6% YoY and SKM low-tar, low-nicotine (LTLN) was up 3% YoY. GG is on
the right spot, with a majority (90% of total volume) of its products being SKM-based. Its SKM
FF (accounts for 76% of total volume) saw a 6% YoY volume growth last year, and SKM LTLN
grew 14% YoY (accounting for 14% of total), despite its SKT products declining 12% YoY.
We estimate a 5% volume growth over the next two years.
In 1Q15, Philip Morris International's (PM.N, US$84.98, NEUTRAL, TP US$80) 1Q15
earnings release stated that the volume for Indonesia's cigarette industry grew 5.9% YoY to
78bn, even though PMI views that the quarterly figures are volatile, thus only expecting a 2%
increase YoY this year. Volume for SKT still declined 1.7% YoY (accounting for 19% of total
volume), while volume for SKM grew 2% YoY (accounting for 75% of total volume). GG has
yet to release its 1Q15 earnings, which is expected by the end of the month.

By age group, the younger generations preferred SKM LTLN or white cigarettes, while the
older generations preferred SKT, and SKM FF is favoured by all age groups. Of our
respondents in the age group below 30, 36% are fans of SKM LTLN, as compared to 32%
preferring SKM FF and 14% liking SKT products.

In our survey, of the total, 33% of smokers preferred SKM FF (32% in last year's survey).
Those that favoured SKM LTLN were down to 28%, from 30%, and SKT smokers are now at
22% (versus 24% in the 2013 survey)the lowest in the five years we have done the survey.
This was underpinned by higher clove prices, which led to higher price increases in SKT. We
also think that the aging profile that SKT has, might have resulted in a shift towards the
younger profile that preferred SKM. White cigarettes (SPM) continue to be the least popular
type, only favoured by 6% of respondentsrelatively stable from our previous survey.
Interestingly, higher and lower income earners prefer SKM FF more compared to other types,
while middle income earners prefer SKM LTLN and SKT.

The shift to SKM FF is in line with the results of Credit Suisse's Indonesia Consumer Survey
2015. The smokers continue to prefer SKM to SKT, and SKM FF is the leading choice
compared with SKM LTLN. (Please refer to our report "Indonesia Consumer Survey 2015:

Pricing power is seen...


GG has increased its ex-factory prices thrice this year, with the last increase being on 13 April.
The increase has been due to the excise tax hike, which became effective 1 Jan 2015. Unlike
in other countries, cigarette producers in Indonesia have been unable to pass through the
increase in excise tax immediately, instead choosing to implement it gradually. This is because
cigarette in Indonesia, at the street level, is still mostly sold by sticks instead of by packs, which
we view is due to consumers' weak buying power.
Excise cost and VAT accounted for 68% of GG's total cost last year. The new excise tax
increase is 5.5% for SKT (hand-rolled cigarettes) and 10.7% for SKM (machine-made
cigarettes) for Tier 1 producers (those that produce more than 2bn sticks a year). Excise cost
for SKT is now at Rp319/stick and Rp457/stick for SKT, inclusive of the 10% regional tax. In
addition to that, the GoI also charges an 8.4% on VAT costs on the banderole prices.

Overall, GG has increased its average price by about 3-6% YTD, depending on the product. By
comparison, last year, GG increased its prices an average 10-16%, depending on the product.
Thus its blended ASP last year increased 12% YoY to Rp793/stick, of which there was a 12%
increase in SKM products (Rp813/stick) and a 9% increase in SKT products (Rp602/stick).
We estimate a blended ASP increase of 8% this year, on 6% higher volume growth YoY.
Interestingly, not many know that, since 2008 GG's cigarette prices have been rising higher
than that of Indofood's noodle prices (post the end of price war). GG's blended ASP increased
at a 10% CAGR over 2008-14, with SKM increasing 10% and SKT 9%, while Indofood's
noodle prices increased 8% during this period.

Worries discounted; offers a buying opportunity


The parliament has approved the 2015 Government of Indonesia (GoI) budget revisions at the
end of February 2015, with a new revised target of excise tax of Rp145.7tn, or 24% higher
YoY (2014: Rp117.45tn). The amount is around 10% of the total targeted tax revenue of
Rp1489.3 tn.
Though there is no clarity thus far on how the new target will be achieved, the GoI stated that
the increase will come from: (1) illegal cigarettes, and (2) a better tax collections mechanism, in
addition to the expected volume growth and revenue from the new duty that has been
implemented since the beginning of the year.
We are sceptical that the GoI will be able to get revenue from illegal cigarettes given that 90%
of cigarettes sold in Indonesia are kretek, which are only produced in Indonesia, and illegal
cigarettes are mostly home-based industry for SKT products.
On tax collections, on the other hand, it is still possible to ask producers to pay in cash for
banderole purchases instead of providing a two-month credit. This might add around Rp10-15
tn in additional revenue to the GoI book. However, if this happens, it will disrupt the cash flow
of the cigarette producers for the month, unless it can be done through instalments.
Alternatively, the easiest way is to further increase the excise tax, even though that will hurt
volumes.

India's cigarette sector has been underperforming the Indian market by 26% in the past one
year, as the government has been implementing stricter measures on the sector, by increasing
the cigarette tax by over 35% within a span of ten months, and considering putting restrictions
on sale of loose sticks of cigarettes. The Indian government has been looking to promoting
public health by cutting down on smokers. The fear of that the happenings in India could get
replicated in Indonesia could have been behind the weakness Gudang Garam's shares. The
investors might have shied away as the GoI is targetting a higher revenue from excise tax.
Nonetheless, in our view, the difference is that in India, excise tax revenue only accounts for
~1% of total tax revenue, while in Indonesia, it accounts for about 10%. The GoI is looking to
increase tax, and not limiting the cigarette volume. Cigarette sale in India is around 100bn, a
third of what is sold in Indonesia.

If the increase happens, we believe that GG has the ability to pass these through, as it has
consistently done in the past. We ran a sensitivity analysis that suggests a VAT increase to
10% (from current 8.4%) and an excise duty rise to 5% will require price increases of 5% and
8%, respectively, to maintain profitability, assuming other things remain similar.

Turning cash flow positive


GG has a better net revenue margin now
With the better product mix (higher proportion on SKM FF) and price increases, GG's blended
net revenue margin (NRM) improved. NRM is calculated based on the revenue derived from
deducting the excise and VAT costs. As of April 2015, GG's SKT (GG Merah) has an NRM of
46.8%, and its SKM FF (GG FIM 45.1% and GG Surya at 43.7%), while the NRM for SKM
LTLN (GG Mild 28% and GG Pro Mild 18.5%) is still half of that of SKM FF, and they are
improving. This is compared to the end of 1Q14, of 42.8% for SKT, 44.4% for GG FIM and
43.8% for GG Surya (flat), while for SKM LTLN products, improvement is seen in GG Mild,
from 23.2%, while Pro Mild is still lower at 18.5%.

There is no index available for the movement of clove prices as the planting and usage of clove
is mostly in Indonesia. Clove prices increased from Rp50K/kg in 2010 to Rp120K/kg in 2011,
and peaked at Rp220/kg in 2012. In 2013 and 2014, clove prices came down and it sold at
about Rp140K/kg to Rp160K/kg. It has currently stabilised at about Rp130K/kg to
Rp140K/kg. Both clove and tobacco and other ingredients, accounted for about 27% of GG's
total costs in 2014 (up from 23% in 2010). We estimate raw materials costs to account for
about 26% of total costs going forward. Note that clove and tobacco are purchased from the
farmers and have to be aged first, between three months to eighteen months, depending on
the quality, before they can be of use.
Coupled with the ability to gradually increase its pricing, GG's gross margin is expected to
improve from its lowest at 15.8% in 2007, to 20.5% in 2014. We estimating gross margin to
be at around 21-22% going forward. Gross profit is estimated to grow at 14% CAGR 15E17E, from 11% CAGR 10-14.

We have seen clove prices (the main raw material for kretek cigarettes and mostly grown in
Indonesia) rise over the last three years, due mainly to poor harvest. This has resulted in at least
three events that changed the industry's dynamic: (1) decline in margins as clove prices
increased, (2) decline in consumption of SKT cigarettes as SKT used more clove than SKM,
thus becoming more expensive, (3) plently of small-sized SKT producers (such as home-based
industry) closing down. In all, as a result, smokers switched to SKM FF products, among other
reason, as well as the aging profile of the SKT cigarettes.

The largest part of GG's opex comprises transportation, freight, and advertising-related costs.
The company does not provide a detailed break-up on these three items. In 2013, with the
launch of its SKM LTLN (GG Pro Mild and GG Mild), GG started a more aggressive campaign,
which pushed up its advertising costs. The company combined its transportation, freight, and
advertising costs together, which accounted for 37% of opex, or 3% of its total revenue in
2013. In 2014, with no new significant product launch, and as it was an election period, its
marketing campagin slowed down, leading to its advertising costs declining 14% YoY, or 2% of
its total revenue (28% of total opex). We expect the company's advertising events to be more
aggressive this year, as such, we assume the transportation, freight, and advertising costs to
account for 2.7% of total revenue this year, or up 50% YoY, and increase to 3% going
forward. We've also taken into consideration the rise in fuel prices (which has been increased
twice as of Apr 15).
GG booked a one-off charge on employee compensation due to an early retirement
programme, amounting to ~Rp500 bn in FY14. This was the result of weak demand for SKT
products, which is more labour intensive, while SKM products are continuing to grow. Its
number of employees were down 16% YoY at 36,456 at the end of 2014. As such, GG's
employee compensation increased 49% YoY in FY14, accounting for 37% of its total opex
(2.7% of total sales), as compared to 28% of total opex, or 2.2% of its total sales in FY13. We
expect employee compensation to decline 10% this year and account for 2.2% of its revenue
or 29% of its opex.
As its gross margin improves, GG's operating margin also improved to 13.2% in 2014, from
12% in 2013, but is yet to reach 16.3% seen in 2011 (its lowest was 8.3% in 2006). We are
expecting the operating margin to be at 13.6% this year with the operating profit expected to
witness a 14% CAGR over 2015-17E, from a 10% CAGR during 2010-14.

Lower capex, free cash flow turns positive


Since 2012, GG has spent a significant amount on capex, totalling Rp14 tn. This includes
purchase of machineries for production and packaging, and for both replacement as well as for
expansion on the production of SKM. It is also building new warehouses and has resorted to
modernisation to create a better vertically integrated production facility. We view that the
massive capex cycle is completed, with its capex estimated to be at Rp3 tn this year, and Rp2
tn each in the next two years, which mostly is for capex maintenance. With the lower capex and
coupled with the operational improvement, GG's free cash flow is expected to turn positive this
year onwards. We continue to assume a 38% dividend payout ratio, which will provide a
dividend yield of around 2%.
For GG, debt is short term, mostly to finance its working capital, whereas a majority is to
purchase raw materials. We estimate debt to be at Rp17 tn this year, from Rp18 tn last year,
with the debt-to-equity still at a low 0.45x.
In all, we estimated GG's net profit to grow at a much higher rate at 17% CAGR over
2015E-17E, as compared to 7% CAGR during 2010-14. Its net margin is expected to be
8.6% this year, and recover to 9.4% in 2017E, from 7.8% in 2013.

Upgrade TP to Rp66,800
We have adjusted our estimates on GG on the back of higher margins that result from a better
product mix as well as its ability to increase prices, and as clove prices remain stable. The
company also has lower employee costs thanks to its product mix. At the same time, capex is
expected to decline as it completes its three-year expansion programme. Free cash flow is
turning positive starting this year, with an improving net margin.
Historically, GG has traded at 1.25x relative P/E. That multiple has dropped to 1x, which is
below -1 std dev. In our view this is not warranted given the company's improving performance.
We upgrade our rating to OUTPERFORM with a target price of Rp66,800 (up from Rp53,500),
implying a 20x 2015E P/E, which is equal to its average historical relative P/E of 20x. This
valuation is also similar to the weighted average of forward earnings of cigarette companies
globally, whose earnings are lower than GG's. GG's earnings are estimated to witness a 17%
CAGR over 2015E-17E. Compared with the other consumer companies in Indonesia, which on
average trade at about 30-35x forward earnings, we believe GG's valuation is warranted, given
that its revenue and costs are mostly IDR-based, and thus immune to the fluctuation in
exchange rates.

Price Target: (12 months) for Gudang Garam (GGRM.JK)


Method:

Our target price of Rp66,800/share for Gudang Garam implies a 20x P/E 2015E at the target price, with an estimated 17% estimated earnings growth over the next two years. We derive our target price
using discounted cash flow (DCF) method, where we are assuming 9.8% WACC on 5.2% terminal growth. Our weighted average cost of capital (WACC) assumes a 7.5% risk-free rate, 0.5 beta, 5% risk premium,
and a 28% corporate tax.

Risk:

The following risks could impede the achievement of our Rp66,800/share target price for Gudang Garam. (1) Change in government regulation: There is no specific timeline as to when the GoI (Government of
Indonesia) is going to revise excise tax regulations. In the past two years, the tax has been revised yearly, and was favourable to SKM (machine-made cigarettes) and tier 1 companies (large-size producers,
producing more than 2 bn sticks), narrowing the gap in tax to the SKT (hand rolled cigarettes) and mid and smaller size producers. (2) Strong demand for low tar, low nicotine: GG's brands in the low-tar, lownicotine category include the Nusantara series and Surya Slim series, and last year it launched Surya Slim Premium and Surya Pro Mild. However, its presence in this category is relatively small. Low-tar, lownicotine kretek cigarettes have been posting strong growth in the past decade, particularly for younger smokers in urban areas. (3) Consumers down-trading to less expensive cigarettes: If the GoI increases the
excise tax, cigarettes will become more expensive, encouraging consumers to downtrade to cheaper products. (4) Weak consumer purchasing power: Although the consumer confidence index, surveyed by Bank
Indonesia, showed that the confidence of Indonesian consumers is rising, concerns about the possibility of higher inflation (due to the recent increase in electricity tariffs) might disrupt consumer affordability. (5)
Rising interest rates: GG's debt is usually Rupiah-denominated and in the form of short-term loans. This is used for raw materials (clove) purchasing, where typically the harvest season peaks at the end of 4Q and
1Q (depending on the weather). A rise in interest rates would increase its interest expense, hence affecting its profitability.

The price, value of and income from any of the securities or financial instruments mentioned in this report can fall as well as rise. The value of securities and financial instruments is subject to exchange rate
fluctuation that may have a positive or adverse effect on the price or income of such securities or financial instruments. Investors in securities such as ADR's, the values of which are influenced by currency volatility, effectively assume this risk. Structured securities are complex instruments, typically involve a high
degree of risk and are intended for sale only to sophisticated investors who are capable of understanding and assuming the risks involved. The market value of any structured security may be affected by changes in economic, financial and political factors (including, but not limited to, spot and forward interest and
exchange rates), time to maturity, market conditions and volatility, and the credit quality of any issuer or reference issuer. Any investor interested in purchasing a structured product should conduct their own investigation and analysis of the product and consult with their own professional advisers as to the risks
involved in making such a purchase. Some investments discussed in this report may have a high level of volatility. High volatility investments may experience sudden and large falls in their value causing losses when that investment is realised. Those losses may equal your original investment. Indeed, in the
case of some investments the potential losses may exceed the amount of initial investment and, in such circumstances, you may be required to pay more money to support those losses. Income yields from investments may fluctuate and, in consequence, initial capital paid to make the investment may be used
as part of that income yield. Some investments may not be readily realisable and it may be difficult to sell or realise those investments, similarly it may prove difficult for you to obtain reliable information about the value, or risks, to which such an investment is exposed.
