Company News
1. MDKA IJ recorded a decrease in net profit -95.5% YoY to USD3.1 million in 1Q23 (vs USD69.7 million in 1Q22) (Emiten News). MNCS Comment: Significant decrease in net profit amid increase in revenue +74.0% YoY, caused by increase in processing costs which boosted COGS +135.8% YoY. In addition, financial costs increased 7 times, which also hindered profitability. Currently, MDKA is traded at the level of 4.85x PBV.
2. AUTO IJ realized the capex allocation in 1Q23 reached IDR133 billion. The allocation is aimed at providing EV charging infrastructure facilities through Astra Otopower (Market Bisnis). MNCS Comment: Thus, realization up to 1Q23 reached 26.6% of management's target of IDR500 billion. Even though the contribution of EV sales is still relatively low, we still look positively at the company's business initiatives to boost its supporting facilities, which will be followed by future demand for units. Currently, AUTO is traded at the level of 5.87x/0.82x PER/PBV.

MNCS Comment: Thus, realized capex until 1Q23 reached 17.5% of the IDR8 trillion target in FY23E. We assess that a significant addition of BTS units, especially on 4G networks (+12.5% YoY) can result in a capable network quality, and has the potential to increase the personnel's ARPU in the future. Currently, EXCL is traded at the level of 32.43x/1.01x PER/PBV.
