Ace Hardware Indonesia: SSSG dipped back in Dec 20 (ACES.IJ.IDR. 1,810 BUY TP.IDR. 1,925) As a result of strict PSBB to minimize holiday Covid-19 clusters, ACES’ SSSG dipped to -14.5% in Dec20 with sales of IDR772bn (+32.4% MoM and -12.2% yoy), leading to a YTD December 2020 SSSG figure of -9.3%. Jan20 should be marked with a lower figure because of the stricter PSBB from 18 December to 8 January 2021, which will be followed by Java – Bali from 11 January to 25 January. The stricter PSBB may result in a potentially heavier slump in Jan20 as malls have to close at 7.00pm. We maintain our TP at IDR1,925 despite the proven resilience of ACES under the worst PSBB conditions. Given the recent share price decline, we upgrade our call to BUY with limited upside of 10.6%.

(Source: BPS) CORPORATE PGAS reported December distribution numbers; positive
performance by SAKA PGAS reported a December number for distribution reaching 879
bbtud (-2.2%MoM) and YTD at 828 bbtud (-12.9%YoY) missing the YE target of 870
bbtud - as expected. We understand the December figure declined in-line with
the cyclicality of the volumes. SAKA’s December production volume (upstream lifting) closed at
21,747 boepd (barrels of oil equivalent per day) lower by -4.4%MoM but well
above the 3Q20 quarterly production of 17,000 boepd implying revenues growth in
4Q20 for SAKA. Saka is currently drilling the West Pangkah field within the
Pangkah block and it is expected to come on-stream next month. The above
particular field is expected to produce 1,600 boepd. SAKA currently has 3 tax disputes: A) amounting to US$127.7mn
which it lost at the Supreme court according to the judicial review, B) a
US$35.2mn tax dispute which was won by SAKA based on the Judicial review by the
Supreme court and C) US$19.9mn based on a Judicial review. SAKA has already
paid tax dispute C together with a 100% penalty. Based on verdicts B and
C, SAKA is going to seek judicial reviews with the Supreme Court on the tax
dispute it lost for the amount of US$127.7mn against the Indonesian tax
authority as the C case was similar in substance to the case won in cases B and
C. PGN remains liable for Rp3.06tn for tax disputes resulted from
tax VAT underpayments. The company is planning to submit a judicial review once
a formal verdict letter is received from the Supreme Court. Comment: Volume distribution declined we believe due to YE
cyclicality. SAKA’s production held up at about 21,000 boepd expecting to
deliver revenues growth QoQ. We have a BUY rating on PGAS with a TP of IDR2,050 (Niko Margaronis). COVID-19 The govt may open self-pay vaccinations for corporations The Ministry of Health stated that in order to accelerate the
vaccination progress, the govt may opt to open up self-paid vaccinations for
employees in corporations. The procurement could be done outside the govt;
hence the corporations may directly purchase the vaccines or get them via other
private distributors. Yet the govt also warned that obtaining approval from the
Food and Medicine Oversight Board (BPOM) was essential. Meanwhile, the Ministry
of Finance mentioned that currently the govt has not yet considered whether or
not to open up a self-paid vaccinations program. The govt is still focusing on
the free vaccination program that is budgeted at ~IDR74tn for this year. The
sources of finance are: IDR18tn from the 2021 govt budget, IDR47tn from the remaining
budget in 2020 (SILPA), and the rest will be in the form of budget reallocation
in ministries/institutions and regional govts. (Kompas, Investor Daily)
