Company News
1. KAEF IJ will develop a paracetamol factory with an investment of USD40-50 million with a capacity of 3,800 tons per year. The development carried out with PT Pertamina International Refinery (KPI) is part of the government's strategy to support the independence of domestic pharmaceuticals industry, which still relies on imports of 95% for raw materials for drug manufacturing. The investment will come from state capital participation and bank loans (IDN Financials). MNCS Comment: We hope that the factory would be able to contribute significantly to KAEF's revenue in the future other than vaccine distribution and development as KAEF is still suffering losses. Currently KAEF is trading at 727.89x/5.30x PE/PBV.

The sale of 55% shares was made to Monde Nissin Corporation in the Philippines with a value of around IDR75 billion. This divestment will make the company more focused on domestic business opportunities (Kontan). MNCS Comment: We believe that the proceeds from this divestment will be used to support better business activities in FY21E.
