Coronavirus Impact
and Rating Actions on
Indonesian
Infrastructure &
Project Finance
Issuers
Sajal Kishore

8 April 2020
2020 Outlook: APAC Transportation
Negative Sector Outlook
• Demand-based assets, particularly those in the transportation space, are most
vulnerable
• The knock-on underlying economic and individual sector impacts all put into question
the pace of the recovery
What to Watch
• Further transportation demand reductions due to extended government-imposed
restrictions, affecting airports, toll roads and ports
• Weaker-than-expected recovery due to the depth of the decline and the underlying
economic damage from the crisis
• Economic and political constraints to implementing allowable rate or tariff increases
• Issuer ability to manage operating costs to stabilise earnings or cash available for debt
service
• Flexibility to defer capex and shareholder distributions for most; support from
shareholders could be forthcoming for some issuers
• Refinancing risk heightened for all issuers, although liquidity will remain adequate in
2020
1
Global Rating Review: Coronavirus Impact

• Fitch has performed reviews of all infrastructure ratings globally


• Cash flow scenarios to simulate the potential effects of coronavirus
• Revenue/volume declines well in excess of what Fitch would expect under
typical recessionary conditions
• Two scenarios designed to incorporate the impact of the pandemic, with regional
adjustments:

• Revised Rating Case: Severe Downside in 2Q20; Stabilising in 3Q20 and


Partial recovery in 4Q20 . 2021 to be in line with 2019 levels
• Severe Downside Sensitivity: Severe Downside in 2Q20; Severe Downside
continues in 3Q20; stabilising in 4Q20 and partial recovery in 1Q2021. 2022
to be in line with 2019 levels
• More severe stress scenarios will be run in future to reflect worsening impact of
the pandemic

2
Global Rating Review: Key Focus

• Focus on the potential magnitude and impact of the downturn and the ability to
recover, while maintaining critical levels of liquidity for the current rating level
• Continue to target a 'through-the-cycle' view:
• operating cash flow can service debt at the existing rating level
• ability to maintain existing levels of liquidity
• ability to recover to a financial profile consistent with the current rating level
by 2022
• Fitch recognizes that near-term metrics could breach indicative rating thresholds
in 2020 and 2021
• Focus will be less on any one metric and more on the ability to withstand this
crisis and revert within two-to-three years to a more stable credit profile that is
consistent with the current rating

Indonesian Power & Renewables

• No immediate rating actions on rated notes


• Take-or-pay obligations under the long-term power purchase agreements,
mitigates volume/price risks
• Economic slowdown will soften power demand but
• Cash flow available for debt service is independent of dispatch
• Supply of electricity is perceived to be an essential service, provides baseload
• No disruption to coal supplies expected
• Robust spares / inventory, with business continuity plans in place
• Future rating action to reflect changes in counterparties or sovereign/country
ceiling, where constrained

Coronavirus Impact
on Indonesian
Corporates

Olly Prayudi
8 April 2020
Review Approach: Relative Rating Vulnerability
• Sector exposure: depending on the nature of the businesses, the level of
impact from the virus outbreak, and the markets (geography) in which issuers
operate.
• Rating headroom: how close they were to breaching our issuer-specific
negative rating sensitivities.
• ‘High’, ‘Moderate’ and ‘Low’ classification for each factor.
• Three broad categories:
A. Companies whose operations have already clearly been impacted by
COVID-19.
B. Companies that entered 2020 with ‘Low’ or ‘Moderate’ rating headroom,
combined with ‘High’ or ‘Moderate’ exposure sectors or sub-sectors.
C. All other companies whose rating headroom and sector exposure place
them at less-immediate risk.
• Continue to target a 'through-the-cycle' view for companies where we regard
liquidity as robust, focusing primarily on our projected financial expectations for
end-2021.

1
Indonesian Corporates: Sector & Rating Headroom
Sector Exposure:
• Most commodity-related sectors have ‘High’ sector exposure due to weakening
prices: Coal, Oil and Gas
• Consumer-related sectors such as homebuilders and food, beverage, tobacco
have ‘Moderate’ sector exposure – underpinned by potential shift in spending
behaviour.
• Utilities and telecommunications have ‘Low’ sector exposure on the back of long-
term contracts and higher needs of data traffic, respectively.

Rating Headroom:
• ‘Low’ rating headroom for most crude-palm oil issuers on the back of depressed
price since 2019.
• Similarly, most of the issuers under the homebuilding segment have ‘Low’ rating
headroom due to weak property demand in 2019.
• Conservative balance sheet and strong parental linkage generally translate into
‘High’ rating headroom.

• Indonesian Rupiah has depreciated by around 20% since January 2020.


• FX exposure through borrowings and/or raw material imports.
• In general, issuers borrow in their earnings currency – minimizing FX risk.
• Indonesian homebuilders have a large FX mismatch between their earnings and
balance sheet.
• Commodity-related sectors have ‘Low’ FX exposure as they have natural hedge
from their US dollar-linked earnings.

Coronavirus Impact: Financial Institutions

Operating Environment
• Lower economic activity and incomes pose a formidable challenge
• Social distancing measures could create further difficulty for collection teams
Asset Quality
• Business and consumer repayment capacity to suffer
• Credit restructuring to spike – will help reported ratios but not the underlying position
Profitability
• Credit costs to rise as asset quality weakens but new restructuring rules to help limit the increase
• Indonesian banks and fincos high NIMs provide a significant cushion
Funding & Liquidity
• Rupiah liquidity to remain relatively benign on slower growth and BI relief measures
• USD liquidity squeeze to hurt issuers with market refinancing needs but exposure is low
Capitalisation
• Indonesian banks high capitalisation ratios provide a solid capital buffer
• Finco leverage is generally not excessive with industry debt/equity at around 3x

1
Coronavirus Impact: FI Ratings

Impact on Ratings
• Will ultimately depend on the severity and duration of the pandemic

Ratings Most Susceptible to Negative Action


• Banks and fincos with VR/standalone credit profile-driven ratings
• Banks and fincos whose VRs/standalone credit profiles are rated above Fitch’s operating environment
score

Fitch’s Rating Coverage


• Most ratings are based on expectations of support from higher-rated parents/sovereign
• Widespread near-term negative rating action unlikely
• But global nature of the crisis means that parent’s own credit profiles are likely to be under pressure

Insurance Sector

Indonesia Life and Non-Life Insurers
Weaker Premium and Earning Growth:
• Interruption of new business generation leading to slower new business growth
• Deterioration in global equity markets and the decline in interest rates will put pressure on life insurers' earnings, reserves
and capital
• A prolonged decline in new motor vehicle sales will hurt the motor insurance business, which is the dominant business line
• Fitch revises rating outlook of APAC life and non-life insurance to negative
• The ratings of non-life insurers will be less affected by the pandemic than those of life insurers

ratings and in making other reports (including forecast information), Fitch relies on factual information it receives from issuers and underwriters and from other sources Fitch believes to be credible. Fitch
conducts a reasonable investigation of the factual information relied upon by it in accordance with its ratings methodology, and obtains reasonable verification of that information from independent sources, to
the extent such sources are available for a given security or in a given jurisdiction. The manner of Fitch’s factual investigation and the scope of the third-party verification it obtains will vary depending on the
nature of the rated security and its issuer, the requirements and practices in the jurisdiction in which the rated security is offered and sold and/or the issuer is located, the availability and nature of relevant
public information, access to the management of the issuer and its advisers, the availability of pre-existing third-party verifications such as audit reports, agreed-upon procedures letters, appraisals, actuarial
reports, engineering reports, legal opinions and other reports provided by third parties, the availability of independent and competent third-party verification sources with respect to the particular security or in
the particular jurisdiction of the issuer, and a variety of other factors. Users of Fitch’s ratings and reports should understand that neither an enhanced factual investigation nor any third-party verification can
ensure that all of the information Fitch relies on in connection with a rating or a report will be accurate and complete. Ultimately, the issuer and its advisers are responsible for the accuracy of the information
they provide to Fitch and to the market in offering documents and other reports. In issuing its ratings and its reports, Fitch must rely on the work of experts, including independent auditors with respect to
financial statements and attorneys with respect to legal and tax matters. Further, ratings and forecasts of financial and other information are inherently forward-looking and embody assumptions and
predictions about future events that by their nature cannot be verified as facts.

As a result, despite any verification of current facts, ratings and forecasts can be affected by future events or conditions that were not anticipated at the time a rating or forecast was issued or affirmed.

The information in this report is provided “as is” without any representation or warranty of any kind, and Fitch does not represent or warrant that the report or any of its contents will meet any of the
requirements of a recipient of the report. A Fitch rating is an opinion as to the creditworthiness of a security. This opinion and reports made by Fitch are based on established criteria and methodologies that
Fitch is continuously evaluating and updating. Therefore, ratings and reports are the collective work product of Fitch and no individual, or group of individuals, is solely responsible for a rating or a report. The
rating does not address the risk of loss due to risks other than credit risk, unless such risk is specifically mentioned. Fitch is not engaged in the offer or sale of any security. All Fitch reports have shared

Fitch rating is neither a prospectus nor a substitute for the information assembled, verified and presented to investors by the issuer and its agents in connection with the sale of the securities. Ratings may be
changed or withdrawn at any time for any reason in the sole discretion of Fitch. Fitch does not provide investment advice of any sort. Ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security.
Ratings do not comment on the adequacy of market price, the suitability of any security for a particular investor, or the tax-exempt nature or taxability of payments made in respect to any security. Fitch
receives fees from issuers, insurers, guarantors, other obligors, and underwriters for rating securities. Such fees generally vary from US$1,000 to US$750,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent) per
issue. In certain cases, Fitch will rate all or a number of issues issued by a particular issuer, or insured or guaranteed by a particular insurer or guarantor, for a single annual fee. Such fees are expected to
vary from US$10,000 to US$1,500,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent). The assignment, publication, or dissemination of a rating by Fitch shall not constitute a consent by Fitch to use its name as an
expert in connection with any registration statement filed under the United States securities laws, the Financial Services and Markets Act of 2000 of the United Kingdom, or the securities laws of any particular
jurisdiction. Due to the relative efficiency of electronic publishing and distribution, Fitch research may be available to electronic subscribers up to three days earlier than to print subscribers.
