Jakarta, 11 May 2021 — PT Barito Pacific Tbk. (“Barito Pacific”, “BRPT” or the “Company”) today released its consolidated financial statements for the three months period ended 31 March 2021. BRPT recorded consolidated net revenue of US$726 million (+19% year-on-year), EBITDA of US$249 million (+160% year-on-year) and net profit after tax of US$116 million (+719% year on year).
Agus Pangestu, the Company’s President Director states that:
“Our Q1-2021 financial results reflect a robust recovery that continues the trend seen from the second half of last year. Our petrochemical business delivered a strong quarter driven by expanding spreads amid improving regional and Indonesian demand for polymers and other downstream chemicals. Our energy business continues to provide stability to our consolidated earnings.
In the 3 months of 2021, Barito recorded consolidated Net Revenues of US$726mn, up by 19% vs US$611mn in Q1 2020. Consolidated EBITDA climbed to US$249mn and Net Income After Tax US$116mn in Q1 2021 a sharp increase from US$96mn and US$14mn respectively in the corresponding period in 2020.
With the global vaccine rollout gathering steam we remain cautiously optimistic on Petrochemical product margins but remain vigilant for unexpected dislocations in the market given the pandemic is still raging across the globe. Our focus remains on Business Continuity and Operational Excellence to maintain operating rates across our facilities and generate and sustain cost savings that we have achieved over the past year. We will also continue to target new milestones for our CAP 2 project.
Meanwhile, our geothermal business (Star Energy) starts the year with all its debt now in the form of long term amortizing bonds, including the portion ($1,1bn) which we issued late last year. As the business continues to pay down these amortizing bonds we will enjoy an increasing trend at the net profit level contributed by Star. Average Operating rates at all three assets, Wayang Windu, Salak and Darajat remained at 95%+ during the quarter.
On a consolidated basis, we generated healthy EBITDA margin of 34% and maintain a robust balance sheet position with Net Debt/Ebitda multiple of 1.9x. Barito Pacific remains focussed on initiatives to protect our staff, stakeholders and communities and prevent any outbreaks of Covid-19 in our facilities. At both our operating sites and head office these initiatives include a dedicated Covid-19 task force with measures like physical distancing with no large group meetings; reduced occupancy on buses, canteen, entry points; split-shift for essential staff. We also proactively promote preventive measures like frequent handwashing, wearing of masks, and establishing maximum Work from Home capabilities for support staff.”
3M-2021 Highlights:
- 3M-2021 Net Revenues increased by 19% from US$611 million in 3M-2020 to US$726 million mainly due to higher petrochemical product average sales prices particularly for Ethylene, Polyethylene and Polypropylene with relatively stable sales volume.
- Cost of Revenues decreased by 8% from US$519 million in 3M-2020 to US$477 million in 3M[1]2021 largely attributed to lower consumption of feedstock on our petrochemical business, primarily naphtha.
- EBITDA increased by 159.3% from US$96 million in 3M-2020 to US$249 million in 3M-2021 primarily due robust spreads across the petrochemical value chain recovering from the trough spreads in 1Q2020.
- Net Profit After Tax amounted to US$116 million compared to US$14 million in 3M20 mainly as a result of higher Gross Profit.
