APL's Q4/20 results surpassed our as well as rating agency (Fitch)’s expectations significantly. Revenues and profitability grew strongly due to the industrial land sales in Karawang, which were one-off in nature. The land sales also offset the weak performance of APL's investment properties (hotels and malls) which were hurt due to the pandemic. It is also unclear how much of the improvement was due to the new accounting standards. Financial risk profile improved significantly. Liquidity, however, remains weak. We believe that the surge in marketing sales in H2/20 was one-off and unsustainable. APL’s land bank (c. 6 mn sqm) is one of the smallest among the Indonesian HY real estate companies under our coverage, and will need to be replenished. Given the limited land available in Jakarta, APL will likely achieve this by buying other property players with land banks. Thus, we expect a material weaker FY 2021 with lower revenue and profitability, due to the lack of large one-off sale, and weaker cash flows with capex remaining relatively high (eg little changed vs FY 2020).
