No one else shares the spotlight with a very critical in Indonesian capital market universe as shares of PT Bumi Resources Tbk (BUMI), at least for now.

So critical, sometimes mistaken perception of follow-up facts. Yes, the storm rumors incessant strikes solid buildings owned conglomerate that had ranked the richest man in Indonesia, Aburizal Bakrie.

PT Bakrie & Brothers Tbk (BNBR) claim still holds 16% stake BUMI. But data PT Indonesian Central Securities Custodian (KSEI) recorded no single company or investors who own shares BUMI more than 5%. Apart from that, hard to let go of BUMI from the association with the Bakrie group.

And maybe that’s why the rumors and speculation as if a friend who lived closest to the BUMI. Because the parent did not escape the rumors an attack.

But what could I do, step and Bakrie group business strategy is often controversial. Doings of brave nan extreme behavior Bakrie group has been blamed to be one cause of the stock market collapse in 2008. But Bakrie Group’s success in making money also departs from the same strategy.

So was the BUMI. Largest coal companies in Indonesia as well as the largest coal exporter in the world, are now facing a myriad of questions and speculation market players due to the action of debt to U.S. $ 3.325 billion, which may increase again to the front.

BUMI accused of reckless action by the debt. Market participants then talked position BUMI debt burden, its impact on short-term performance of the company, until mengkait-kaitkannya with political campaign funds Aburizal Bakrie.

“Many people do not understand their own and then speculate about what we were doing. Even to this loan pointing to a political fund. It is not logical,” said SVP Investor Relations BUMI, Dileep Srivastava, in talk with detikFinance bincangnya, Monday (7 / 12 / 2009).

According to Dileep, speculation and rumors that developed among market participants do not have a clear basis. Especially about the position of the debt burden as often discussed BUMI market participants.

“People tend to see the impact that occurred within the short term, rather than see what we achieve and the benefits we would give our shareholders in the future,” said Dileep.

Dileep acknowledged that the expansion scheme which is being prepared may be classified as extreme BUMI and too brave. But according to him, BUMI did it not without calculation.

“The situation is similar when we decided to take over the KPC (PT Kaltim Prima Coal) and Arutmin (PT Arutmin Indonesia). When that many say we are too desperate to expand,” said Dileep.

BUMI took over 80% stake in Arutmin from BHP Billiton in 2001. The remaining 20% which is owned by PT Indonesia Ekakarsa Yasakarya which is also the Bakrie family group company completed in 2004.

KPC formerly owned British Petroleum and Rio Tinto with their respective ownership of 50%. BUMI KPC took over completely in 2003.

BUMI which was then a small energy company piecemeal, as a form of business change from previous businesses in the tourism sector which manages the hotel business in Uzbekistan, then get a reaction from market participants.

“In the midst of current economic conditions, in which banks provided loans difficult unless a high-interest, people wonder why we take high interest loans and great value. Worth a total of about U.S. $ 1.1 billion,” said Dileep.

With a loan of it, certainly not a party which he doubted whether BUMI management can continue to grow with the burden of debt and interest expense to be borne.

“As a result, all people can prove. In the years 2007-2008, we paid all the debt of U.S. $ 1.1 billion and the BUMI into a big company with zero debt (zero debt), only with a 30% stake in KPC and Arutmin to Tata,” explained.

“You are investing billions of dollars and all return in just 4 years. Are there other companies that are able to do this other than BUMI?” he added.

Dileep optimistic attitude really justified. With investment of U.S. $ 1.1 billion that they say desperate, BUMI managed to pay off all at once scored EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, and amortization demortisasi) highest in the history of the company in 2008.

“BUMI to pay off the entire debt of U.S. $ 1.1 billion in 2008, along with increased production of up to 2-fold in 2008. And therefore, our EBITDA was the highest score ever achieved in the year 2008,” he said.

BUMI coal production of 40 million tons in 2003. In 2008, coal production rose to 52.8 BUMI million tons. BUMI income in 2004 amounted to Rp 9.811 trillion. In the year 2008, revenues approaching BUMI: U.S. $ 4 billion (nearly USD 40 trillion).

BUMI net profit in 2004 amounted to Rp 1.21 trillion. In the year 2008, net income increased dramatically BUMI to U.S. $ 654 million (approximately USD 6.5 trillion).

The intricacies of debt is U.S. $ 3.325 Billion

Success of KPC and Arutmin acquisition, BUMI is now planning a massive ekspasi. Since the period August to December 2009, BUMI giant funding reached with a total value reached U.S. $ 3.325 billion.

Here’s a list of external funding obtained BUMI:
On August 5, 2009, BUMI through Enercoal Resources Pte Ltd issued convertible bonds worth U.S. $ 375 million. This convertible bond 5-year term with a fixed interest coupon of 9.25%. BUMI provide cash settlement options on this convertible bond maturity in 2014.
In September 2009, BUMI through the BUMI Netherlands BV won the giant loan from China Investment Corporation (CIC) worth U.S. $ 1.9 billion. This loan is divided into 3 structures of the first loan of U.S. $ 600 million 4-year term, the second loan of U.S. $ 600 million 5-year term and the third loan of U.S. $ 700 million 6-year term. Three berkupon loan interest rate of 12% a year with the addition of the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 7% during each of these loans fall due.
On November 13, 2009, BUMI conventional issue bonds worth U.S. $ 300 million. 7th term bonds this year to give a coupon interest rate of 12% per year.
On November 25, 2009, BUMI through Enercoal, once again issued convertible bonds worth U.S. $ 300 million. This convertible bond tenor 7 years with a coupon rate of 5%.
BUMI also obtained a loan facility worth U.S. $ 300 million from Credit Suisse.
Latest, BUMI short-term loans reached 6 months of JP Morgan worth U.S. $ 150 million on December 7, 2009.

Details of the use of these funds as follows:
Investments and acquisitions worth U.S. $ 1.419 billion.

Capital expenditure (capital expenditure / capex) worth U.S. $ 314 million.
Equity swap worth U.S. $ 240 million.
Cap called option on convertible bonds worth U.S. $ 52 million.

According to Dileep, BUMI could not do refinancing of its debts worth U.S. $ 1.3 billion because the company still has internal cash of U.S. $ 1 billion.

“We have a loan of U.S. $ 1,2-1,3 billion which will mature in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Our internal cash sufficient to pay it off, there are currently around U.S. $ 1 billion,” he said.

BUMI Organic Expansion Scheme

Dileep said that, if the company does not reach a new financing with longer maturity than the loans that will mature in 2009-2011, then the internal cash is not available for project development.

“With this new funding, which the new payment will begin in 2013, we have the flexibility to use our internal cash. The funds will be used for project development Herald, Gorontalo, Citra Palu, Mauritania, Fajar Bumi Sakti (FBS) and Pendopo, “Dileep said.

Following the project development scheme:

Herald Resources Ltd (lead and zinc) amounted to U.S. $ 211 million. Schedule operations in 2011. Projected increase in EBITDA of U.S. $ 150 million per year.

Gorontalo (gold) and Citra Palu (copper) of U.S. $ 500 million. Schedule operations in 2013. Projected increase in EBITDA of U.S. $ 900 million per year.

FBS and Pendopo (coal) amounted to U.S. $ 150 million. Schedule operations in 2011-2013. Projected increase in EBITDA of U.S. $ 100 million per year.

4 Total investment in these projects reached U.S. $ 1.161 billion to be financed from internal cash BUMI who has freely for use after the refinancing of debt maturing 2009-2011.

In addition, the BUMI is also targeting coal production of KPC and Arutmin 111 million tons in 2012. For that, two golden child of this BUMI will capex budget of U.S. $ 1.1 billion.

“KPC and Arutmin fund the production capacity of their own internal cash. So do not come from cash BUMI. Through increased capacity to 111 million tons in 2012, EBITDA will rise to U.S. $ 800 million per year,” said Dileep.

Thus, the total investment value BUMI KPC and Arutmin and reached U.S. $ 2.261 billion. However, EBITDA increased projection of all this development reached U.S. $ 2.2 billion per year, worth the money to be disbursed.

4 Because the project development using internal cash BUMI and the KPC and Arutmin capex from internal cash itself, then the BUMI is still a fund acquisitions and investment of U.S. $ 1.419 billion.

“As much as U.S. $ 500 million used for repayment immediately Fajar Bumi Sakti acquisition, Pendopo and Darma Henwa,” said Dileep.

Dileep Although not mentioned in detail, but after deducting U.S. $ 500 million is, roughly BUMI still has a fresh funds for investment and acquisitions of U.S. $ 919 million.

Total funds to be spent for the acquisition of MDB 24% stake in Newmont reached U.S. $ 884 million.

Wishing all acquisition funds Newmont’s 24% stake for U.S. $ 884 million has been disbursed, the funds remaining roughly there are around U.S. $ 35 million.

Thus the scheme would be all-debt expansion and the BUMI: it invites controversy. Though many doubted the potential for success, but admitted BUMI optimistic if all this works, then starting in 2013, BUMI will record a stunning financial performance.
