Strength
Strong 2Q24 earnings growth driven by higher sales volumes of 8.86 million tons of gold (+24.6% QoQ) and 2.36 million wmt of nickel (+136% QoQ), increased ASPs (gold +16% QoQ, nickel +7.2% QoQ), and FX gain of IDR 316 billion (+22% QoQ), 20% of pre-tax profit
Weakness
1H24 EBITDA margin dropped to 5.6% (-880 bps YoY) due to lower YTD nickel ore sales of 3.4 million wmt (-46% YoY) and ASP of USD 36.3/wmt (-29.5% YoY); bauxite export ban and higher legal provisions on 1H24 amounting to IDR 244.3 billion further hurt profitability
Opportunity
Three main projects on the horizon: 1) RKEF NPI smelter (production target: 88k tpa, expected operating date: 2Q25; 2) HPAL project with CBL (target: 55k tpa of MHP), expected to commence post the finished RKEF NPI project; 3) 1 million tpa bauxite capacity joint smelter-grade alumina refinery with Inalum
Threat
Downward trend in nickel ore prices, driven by global economic slowdown and oversupply concerns, along with potential decline in gold prices due to possibility of short-term global selloff after reaching its 52-week high, could adversely impact earnings
