Debt Capital Markets

Barito Pacific is marketing a USD benchmark issuance with a tenor of 5-7 years. The proceeds will be used to repay a USD 200 mn term loan, for investments and for general working capital purposes. We view Barito as “High Risk” on the LARA scale, as the structural subordination and the lack of control on cash flows offset its relatively robust business profile. Barito is almost wholly dependent on dividends (i.e. highly discretional and subordinated cash flows) from Chandra Asri Petrochemical (CAP) to service its debt. To compound the issue, the latter is in a highly cyclical business that could be in a down cycle. We like Barito’s robust business profile, with CAP being Indonesia’s largest petrochemicals producer in a fast-growing market, and Star Energy a geothermal power producer on take-or-pay contracts that result in visible and contractual cash flows. CAP’s business is volatile and dependent on the spreads between naphtha and its products, but boasts a strategic location and good customer relationships, which allow it to command a slight premium over the regional benchmark. The large capex programme to increase capacity and downstream expansion is conservatively funded by both debt and equity. Our fundamental Credit Bias on Barito is “Negative”, owing to: [1] the expected deterioration in the financial risk profile as the petrochemical market turns more challenging; and [2] the potential need for additional resources to fund the greenfield 2x1,000 MW power plant project.  We view Barito’s corporate governance as “Weak” on the LAGA scale. Considering the structural issues, the peer comps and the decent security, we believe the proposed Notes will price around 8.0%.

Indonesia is still in a big deficit of the company's main product. Being the largest petrochemical producer in the country has attracted investors to own the company's shares. The question is whether the company can turn profitable given the upcoming headwinds such as rising oil price, a tighter corporate governance requirement from Indonesian Exchange and potential for a share sale to fund CapEx. 
For existing Long-Only shareholders, selling it at the current valuation would make sense considering the profit that will be realized and the upcoming headwinds.
