Matahari Department Store (LPPF IJ) announced a pretty robust set of 9M2021 results considering the backdrop of Emergency PPKM in Indonesia.  In our view, Matahari Department Store (LPPF IJ) has become investable again after a series of disappointments and misteps on strategy made it a minefield for long-term investors. Over the past two years the company has made numerous strategic moves under the guidance of new management, which have reversed a number of strategies that were clearly not working.

Matahari Department Store (LPPF IJ) continues to use non-store channels during Emergency PPKM during 3Q2021 to partially mitigate the impact and a full opening of stores in September also has some positive impact.

The company saw all of its 137 stores reopned by 8th September with a gradual improvement in terms of access over the month and kids allowed back into the malls again in October, which helped to further improve traffic. 






Matahari Department Store (LPPF IJ) has had  a new Chief Merchandising Officer in place called Rachel Stack for over a year now, who has a rich history in the retail business in the UK and Europe. She has already made significant changes to its merchandising mix. 




Overall the company is focused on what it terms "aspirational yet affordable" products and a rejuvenated omnichannle approach. The intention is to use its stores as assets in the future to aid fulfilment, with customer curated ranges to prevent any undue discount cycles.




Matahari Department Store (LPPF IJ) has resumed issuing guidance in November this year, which is also reassuring, with the resumption of a dividend payout a further positive for long-term investors.


Valuations look reasonable, with the company trading on 12.6x FY22E PER and 9.7x FY23E PER, with forecast EPS growth of +58.7% and +29.4% for FY22E and FY23E respectively. It also continues to trade at a discount to its peers, which seems unjustified given the transformation taking place.
