INDIKA EYES MORE ACQUISITIONS - THE JAKARTA POST


Having nearly completed the acquisition of engineering and mining company PT Petrosea, energy company PT Indika Energy is preparing for more acquisitions by setting aside a budget amounting to up to US$300 million.

Among the company's next acquisition targets are an oil and gas block belonging to British energy giant BP Plc and local coal producer Berau Coal.

The company would take the budget from the company's cash reserves, which currently stand at US$ 377 million, finance director Azis Armand said after Indika's annual shareholders' meeting on Thursday.

"This is a good opportunity for us to expand our business operations," Azis said, adding the company was ready to seek additional funds to support the acquisitions from bank loans and bonds.

"We are opening all the possibilities," he said, refusing to mention figures.

Indika, the parent company of Indonesia's third largest coal producer PT Kideco Jaya Agung, has been embarking a series of acquisition plans, targeting mining and energy companies.

President director Arsjad Rasjid unveiled on Thursday a plan to partnering with state oil and gas company PT Pertamina to buy a 46 percent stake in BP's North West Java Sea block in West Java.

"We haven't decided anything yet because we are still studying it," he said when asked how much of the stake the company would obtain from Pertamina.

Arsjad also mentioned the possibility the company might buy a stake in Berau Coal, the country's fifth largest coal producer.

Meanwhile, in a move related to the Petrosea acquisition, the company decided to delay the completion of the $83.8 million deal to acquire 82 percent in Petrosea due to "administrative problems", Arsjad said.

Previously, the company hoped to close the deal in early June after securing approval in an extraordinary shareholders' meeting, which was supposed to be on Thursday.

"We decide to delay the extraordinary shareholders meeting and reschedule it for June 17," Arsjad said.

By acquiring Petrosea, Indika expects to start receiving as much as 850,000 tons of additional coal from Petrosea's subsidiary PT Santan Batubara this year, Azis said. Santan output is expected to increase to two million tons in 2010, he added.

The company is targeting to increase its coal output by 12.68 percent in 2010 from 24.85 million tons forecast for this year.

Aside from the Petrosea acquisition, the company also acquired coal mining rights to 13 sites in December. The sites are located in Melawi, West Kalimantan with a total concession area of 53,000 hectares with coal reserves estimated at 150 million tons. The production is expected to start by 2012.

Azis said that the company would spend $55 million in capital expenditure this year on the development and operation of coal mines.

Indika's net profit soared 309.4 percent to Rp 1.08 trillion ($104.7 million) last year.

The Thursday meeting also approved the the allocation of 40.3 percent of the company's 2008 net profit, equivalent to about Rp 437 billion, in dividends. That means Rp 84 a share. The meeting also agreed on the promotion of Wishnu Wardhana as the company's vice president and the appointment of Richard Bruce Ness and Eddy Junaedy Danu as directors.
