What does the Meikarta project mean for LPKR

Indonesia
Real Estate

Meikarta take-up indicates potential presales upward revision
Our meeting with Lippo and our channel check on the ground render us with optimism
that the 2017E organic presales goal may be attained sooner than expected, implying
upside risks to its 2017E goal of Rp3.1tn (UBS's Rp2.2tn). Albeit Lippo is not yet

revealing its Meikarta launching receipt, they are upbeat that most of the booking fee
entries (NUP) of 16.8k in the mid-May 2017 grand launching could be secured. Our
channel check supports this view with 31% take-up of NUP in four days since the
launch. We reiterate our BUY rating on rising pre-sales (32% CAGR 2016-19E) and
overdone worries on the hospital venture.
Why we think potential presales upward revision likely
Our talks with some buyers on the ground suggest their strong interest in Meikarta. We
also checked with some property agents and found Lippo had presold ~5k units (vs.
NUP of 16.8k) in four days since the launch. With size per condo 43-98sqm at ~Rp8mn
psm, our most conservative calculation implies Rp1.8tn of presales should have been
secured vs. its high-rise 2017E presales goal of Rp1.7tn. We also calculate Lippo would
need only 9.2k units presales (52% of NUP) on Meikarta to meet its 2017E organic
presales goal of Rp3.1tn (vs. Q117 of Rp330bn) – this is likely to occur; possibly
delaying new projects (Urban Homes' 1.5k units; Orange County's 7th tower) to 2018E.
Balance sheet to improve; GPM hit as downside risk
With likely a project success, we trust fears over Lippo's stretched balance sheet could
ease from the possibly solid Meikarta's take-up. The planned assets sale to REITs
(aiming Rp6.8tn) would further fortify the balance sheet if realized. On the downside,
Meikarta's low ASP means lower gross profit margin (GPM) of 30% vs. usual Lippo's
high-rise at 45% and 43% of UBS 2017E. Our sensitivity analysis shows a 6% lower

EPS on every 1% lower GPM in high-rise. We note GPM would improve on next
launches from higher ASP – at a time of this writing, Meikarta's ASP is 15% higher.

Valuation Method and Risk Statement
We derive our price target from a sum-of-the-parts methodology.
We believe property companies are affected by macroeconomic issues such as
interest rates and income growth, as well as industry regulation and project-related
issues. Project-related risks include land acquisition, land rights, permits, financing
and execution. Property supply and demand depend on consumer income,
consumer and developer financing stability, and raw materials. Our valuation
forecasts depend on presales accuracy rather than the market value of property.
This is due to Indonesia's illiquid property transactions and low level of
transparency.
