Steady gold prices
Nov 13, 2023
Expecting gold price to stay at a high level
Gold prices have climbed by 6.4% YTD (10Nov2023) to USD1,940/oz, bringing YTD
average to USD1,931.2/oz or 13.5% higher than our expectation. We believe that
strong Central Bank (CB) net purchase supported the gold price at a high level amid
ongoing wars. we raised our average FY23F gold price assumptions to
USD1,930/oz (from USD1,700/oz), and subsequently, we raised our FY24-25F gold
price/oz assumptions to USD1,950/1,850 from USD1,600/1,500. Specifically for 12M rating BUY (Maintain)
ANTM, we lifted FY23-25F gold ASP by 8.2/17.4/22.0% following our adjustment in
gold price assumptions, but we slashed our FY23-25F gold sales volume by
12M TP IDR 2,200
Upside +36.6%
9.2%/6.4%/6.4% considering 9M23 achievement.
Reducing FeNi sales volume forecast Stock Data
ANTM reported sluggish FeNi sales volumes in 3Q23, recording only 3,526 tonnes JCI (Nov 10) 6,809
(-44.2% QoQ/-53.9% YoY), or the lowest quarter over the last 5 years. ANTM Stock price (Nov 10, IDR) 1,625
explained that there was some sales volume done in late 3Q23, which would Market cap (IDR bn) 39,049
eventually spill over to 4Q23. However, as 9M23 FeNi sales volume only achieved Shares outstanding (m) 24,030
52-week high/low (IDR) 2,390/1,625
54.0% of our previous FY23 forecast. Thus, we cut FY23F FeNi sales volume

Higher-than-expected nickel ore sales volumes
ANTM nickel ore sales volume was strong in 3Q23 at 3.15 mn wmt (+11.5%
QoQ/+83.7% YoY), bringing 9M23 to 9.4 mn wmt (+98.1% YoY) exceeding our
previous FY23F assumptions of 8.23 mn wmt. However, ANTM has not benefited
from recent shortage of nickel ore supply which led to a higher premium over nickel
ore benchmark price. We raised our assumptions of ANTM FY23-25F nickel ore Performance
sales volumes by 36.4/16.9/20.4% to 11.2mn/10.1mn/10.4mn wmt. However, we 1M 6M 12M
adjusted down our FY23-25F nickel ore ASP by 4.9/4.8/4.8%. Absolute (%) (10.5) (19.5) (15.4)
Retain BUY call with lower TP of IDR2,200/share Relative to JCI (%p) (5.8) (20.0) (20.2)
We view for now relatively high gold prices and the expectation of an uptrend to
ANTM stock price
continue next year remains as the catalyst for ANTM. Meanwhile, pressure from
lower nickel prices is inevitable, but we believe the investors have priced in the
negative sentiment. We see commercialization of ANTM FeNi Haltim starting in 2,900
1Q24 to support the ANTM in terms of FeNi sales volume growth. All in, we retain 2,700
our BUY call on ANTM, with a lower TP of IDR2,200/sh. We rolled forward our 2,500
valuation base to FY24F and we derived our valuation from equally weighted DCF 2,300
and EVEBITDA target. ANTM now trades at 11.9/10.5x 24F PE/ EVEBITDA. 2,100

Nonetheless, we foresee the relationship between gold price and U.S. real yield will revert
to its historical pattern. CB gold net purchase reached its peak in 3Q22 (record-breaking
quarter) and has yet to reach that quarterly level despite current rising geopolitical tension. The
Fed has signaled one more rate hike this year. Considering the current high rate, market expects
deeper rate cuts in FY24 as a means to drive economic growth and we see this as a catalyst to
support the gold price. As such, we raised our average FY23F gold price assumptions to
USD1,930/oz (from USD1,700/oz), and subsequently, we raised our FY24-25F gold
price/oz assumptions to USD1,950/1,850 from USD1,600/1,500.

Specifically for ANTM, the gold demand this year is lower than what we saw in FY22. In 3Q23,
ANTM booked 191,362 oz sales volume, a 5.3% QoQ drop & a 52.2% YoY drop. Cumulative
9M23 gold sales volume reached 625,654 oz (fell 25.0% YoY), representing only 63.1% of our
previous FY23 forecast. We deem this achievement as below our expectations given the
company’s historical average sales volumes achievement in 9M stood at above 70%. Therefore
we slashed our FY23-25F gold sales volume by 9.2%/6.4%/6.4%. On the other hand, we lifted
FY23-25F gold ASP by 8.2/17.4/22.0% following our adjustment in gold price assumptions.

ANTM’s 9M23 FeNi sales volume only achieved 54.0% of our previous FY23 forecast.
Thus, we cut FY23F FeNi sales volume projections by 18.5% to 21,356 tonnes and
subsequently adjusted down our FY24/25F sales volume projections by 20.0%/12.5%. Our
previous assumptions were quite aggressive mainly due to high expectations on the operation
of FeNi Haltim (13.5k tonnes of capacity). However, it turned out that the contribution from FeNi
Haltim is still minimal this year. Furthermore, we also cut our FY23/24/25F FeNi ASP by
16.8/18.0/15.5% as we revised our payability to NPI (8-12%) price forecasts.

However, ANTM mentioned that it would not be able to extract a greater premium from selling
nickel ore given the contractual obligations with its customers until the end of this year. Noting
that, contracts are usually made for 1 year long. In addition, given its State Owned Enterprise
(SoE) status, ANTM does not have the flexibility to charge premiums as there will be difficulties
in financial accounting. Based on our calculation using the company’s USDIDR average
rate, 9M23 nickel ore ASP was USD46.5/wmt or lower as compared to 6M23 ASP of
USD51.9/wmt. Interestingly, total nickel segment revenue in 3Q23 fell on QoQ, but EBITDA
margin of nickel segment widened by 16.2ppts.
Thus, we raised our assumptions of ANTM FY23-25F nickel ore sales volumes by
36.4/16.9/20.4% to 11.2mn/10.1mn/10.4mn wmt. However, we adjusted down our FY23-
25F nickel ore ASP by 4.9/4.8/4.8%.

PE and 10.5x EVEBITDA. Key risk to our call include: 1) lower-than-expected metal prices 2)
delays on its RKEF and HPAL projects 3) changes in government regulation which negatively
impact the nickel industry. 4) Uncertainty of expenses that potentially arise from gold dispute

Company Overview
In 1997, Aneka Tambang conducted its initial public offering (IPO) by listing 35% of its shares
on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in order to raise money for the expansion of its
ferronickel business. In 1999, ANTM listed its shares in Australia as a foreign-exempt entity but
augmented its status to the more stringent ASX Listing in 2002.
1. Nickel business consists of ferronickel and nickel ore produced from the company’s nickel
mines in Southeast Sulawesi, North Maluku, and ferronickel plants in Southeast Sulawesi.
Ferronickel is a processed product, which contains about 80 percent iron and 20 percent
nickel. ANTM owns three ferronickel plants: FeNi I, FeNi II and FeNi III. Total capacity of
the three plants is 26,000 TNi, with an assumption of a peak load of 42MW and using nickel
ore with 2.38 percent content as feed. Around 70 percent of nickel is consumed for the
production of stainless steel, while the rest is used for various industrial purposes such as
batteries, electronics, aerospace applications, and land-based gas turbines.
2. Gold and refinery business segment consists of gold, silver, and precious metals
processing and refinery services. Gold and silver are produced through mining activities
and gold ore smelting to dore bullion. The gold ore mining is produced at two mining sites;
Pongkor (West Java) and Cibaliung (Banten), both being underground mines.
3. Bauxite and coal. Bauxite is produced from ANTM’s bauxite mine in Tayan (West
Kalimantan). In line with the company's strategy to enter the downstream business, ANTM
will process bauxite ore in Tayan by establishing a Chemical Grade Alumina (CGA) plant.
ANTM also plans to build a Smelter Grade Alumina (SGA) plant in Mempawah (West
Kalimantan).
