PROFIT AT TWO INDONESIAN COAL MINERS SOARS AS RECOVERY STIRS GREATER DEMAND, HIGHER PRICES - THE JAKARTA GLOBE


The Jakarta Globe reported that, Two of the country’s biggest coal producers enjoyed a surge in profit last year as prices rose and demand picked up in line with the start of the global economic recovery.

PT Adaro Energy, the country’s third-largest coal producer, announced on Wednesday that net profit more than quadrupled to a record high of Rp 4.4 trillion ($484 million) last year from Rp 887 billion in 2008.

Meanwhile, PT Bayan Resources, one of the top 10 producers, said in a statement that net profit soared to Rp 136.29 billion from Rp 20.71 billion.

Ario Rachmat, Adaro Energy’s vice president director, attributed the profit growth to higher average selling prices of coal as well as increased production.

He said that although demand was weak in the first quarter of 2009, conditions improved in the second half of the year, with greater demand pushing prices higher and increasing revenue.

Adaro’s average selling price last year was $59.3 per ton, up 52 percent from $39 per ton in 2008. The price realized last year was based on a contract made in 2008.

In 2009, Adaro’s revenue grew 49 percent to Rp 26.9 trillion.

Bayan’s revenue rose 59 percent to Rp 7.75 trillion last year from Rp 4.88 trillion in 2008.

Weather conditions last year were favorable for coal miners. Adaro’s production increased to 40.6 million tons from 38.5 million tons a year previously.

The Jakarta-listed company has said it aimed to increase production by 10 percent this year and planned capital expenditure of $300 million to $350 million to help achieve that target.

Adaro said it had signed an agreement with global mining giant BHP Billiton to develop BHP’s mines jointly in Indonesia. Adaro will get shares in BHP’s coal-mining units, including PT Maruwai Coal, PT Juloi Coal, PT Kalteng Coal, PT Sumber Barito Coal, PT Lahai Coal, PT Ratah Coal and PT Pari Coal.

“We will have 25 percent stakes in each of the mines,” said Andre Mamuaya Adaro’s corporate secretary.

Frederick Daniel Tanggela, an analyst at PT Sucorinvest Central Gani, said the coal industry was expected to suffer a slowdown this year because of lower prices.

He said Adaro’s higher production would offset the lower prices, allowing the company to enjoy higher revenue. “But we project that Adaro’s net profit will decline by 5 percent this year,” he said.

Meanwhile, PT Energy Mega Persada, an oil and gas company affiliated with the Bakrie group, reported that its net loss in 2009 widened to Rp 1.7 trillion from a Rp 35 billion loss in 2008 because of a lower realized oil price.

Revenue dropped by 22 percent to Rp 1.44 trillion from Rp 1.85 trillion, it said.

“The oil price dropped by 38 percent last year compared with 2008,” said Imam Agustino, president director of Energy Mega Persada.
