Business Description

Source: Company data Soetikno Tanoko, Avian Brands embarked on a journey to become Indonesia's leading paint
manufacturer. Avian Brands has transformed into the country's foremost decorative paint
company, maintaining three resilient generations. On December 8, 2021, Avian Brands achieved
a significant milestone by listing its shares on the Indonesian stock exchange under PT Avia Avian
Tbk (AVIA). With over 44 years of expertise, AVIA has maintained business continuity through
prudent management and continuous innovation. Right now, AVIA is led by the third generation
of the Tanoko Family, Mr. Ruslan Tanoko as the VP Director, and Robert Tanoko as the Operation
and Development Director (Appendix 12, 13). As of right now, AVIA is mostly owned by the
Tanoko Family (Figure 5).
AVIA’s supply chain. AVIA has evolved into an integrated paint industry, spanning from
upstream to downstream operations. With state-of-the-art facilities producing raw materials
such as resin, pigment colorant, additives, and extenders, along with printing and packaging units

Avia's competitive strengths lie in its strong brand recognition, strategic market positioning,
extensive distribution network, and a dedicated management team with a proven track record.
The company's commitment to innovation is evident through its Avian Innovation Center, a hub
for research, development, and innovation.
1) Industry Overview
The main industry that Avian is involved in is the chemical industry, especially in paint and
coatings. The paint and coatings industry itself is divided into two segments (Figure 8). In 2024,
the paint and coatings industry is targeted to grow by 8.75% from the previous year. In the long
term, we believe that the paint and coatings industry will experience significant growth. Most of
this growth is driven by increasing urbanization, per capita consumption of paint products, a
decrease in repainting cycles in Indonesia, and an increase in consumer purchasing power. In the
long term, the paint and coatings industry is estimated to grow at a 7,23% CAGR from 2022 to
2025F. (Figure 9).
Market characteristic: The paint and coatings industry in Indonesia has the characteristics of an
oligopoly market, where 74% of sales are dominated by 7 companies such as Avia, Nippon Paint,
AkzoNobel, Propan Raya, Mowilex, Jotun, and Pacifist Paint. Avia, Nippon, AkzoNobel, and
Fig. 9 - Market Size of Paint and Decorative Propan Raya control more than 50% of the industry's sales (Figure 10). Avia is the market leader
Coating (In MM US Dollar) in the waterproofing and wood and metal segments. Meanwhile, Nippon Paint has the largest
Source: Frost and Sullvian, Team Analysis market share in the wall segment, followed by AkzoNobel, and Avia in third place. Consumer
behavior in the paint industry is also quite loyal, with the majority of families choosing the same
brand to paint their homes. This is due to the color differences between each paint company's
products.
Industry challenges and opportunity: In 2023, the paint industry faced a challenging situation,
where crude oil, the main material for producing companies' direct materials, experienced a
significant increase ($64 per barrel, 5y average Oil Price futures( 2022 - 2018) , compared to $77
per barrel in 2023). This increase led paint industry players to raise their product prices. If the
increase in product prices is not followed by an increase in purchasing power, it will result in a
decrease in industry sales volume. In early 2024, oil prices were lower than in 2023. This is a
positive sign, and we also hope that the Indonesian economy in 2024 will improve, thereby
increasing consumer purchasing power to consume more painting products.
2) Competitive Positioning
Fig. 10 - Market Share of Paint and
Decorative Coating Market Leader in the Decorative Paints Market. As a long-standing player, AVIA has now become
Source: Frost and Sullivan, Company data, Team Analysis the market leader by capturing a 20% market share in the paint industry in Indonesia (Frost &
Sullivan, 2020) (Figure 10). This achievement has been realized through a strong distribution
channel. In terms of regional GDP contributions in Indonesia, AVIA is trailing behind in the
Sumatera and Java regions, particularly in Northern Sumatera and Jakarta. However, AVIA holds
the market leader position in Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and other parts of Indonesia.
Competitive Prices through Variety of Products. AVIA can be considered not to have a specific
target market. This is because AVIA offers products with various price ranges for each product
segment, ranging from premium prices to economical prices (Appendix 11). AVIA does this to
avoid price wars with competitors and to maintain their profit margins.
Strong Customer Relationship. One of AVIA's competitive advantages is its strong customer
relationship. This is achieved through various customer-engaging services, such as a loyalty
points program. This program allows customers to accumulate points that can be redeemed for
Fig. 11 - Forecasted Decorative Paint Market
free items. AVIA also educates construction workers from retail stores about their products.
by Region 2025F
That way, when end users come to the retail store, the construction worker can explain AVIA’s
Source: Frost and Sullivan, Company data, Team Analysis
product to them. Additionally, AVIA also allows its customers to extend credit with a 60-day
repayment period. AVIA also has a same-day delivery program that can deliver orders to retail
stores within 2 hours. These aspects enable AVIA to establish a strong connection with its
customers and maintain their loyalty.
Increased toxic waste and emissions. AVIA has a Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle (“3R”) program for
returned paint waste (paint returns). These wastes are often caused by packaging damage during
storage, incorrect customer orders, and other reasons. In 2022, a total of 17.08% of potentially
hazardous and toxic waste generated from paint factory activities was recovered through the 3R
approach. In the case of hazardous and toxic waste that cannot be treated, AVIA will endeavor to
collect, segregate, and deliver such waste to government-approved collectors, transporters,
processors, and users of hazardous and toxic waste. However, the amount of hazardous and toxic
waste (B3) has increased significantly over the past two years, increasing by 91% since 2020.
However, this is balanced by the increasing reuse of industrial waste (Figure 13).
Fig. 13 - Hazardous Waste vs Reuse of
Industrial waste (Tons) [S] Social [8/10]
Source: Company data, Team Analysis
Zero accidents. AVIA believes that creating a suitable, safe, and healthy working environment
following the (“K3”) principles contributes significantly to employee performance and
productivity. AVIA has also obtained ISO 45001: 2018 for its Occupational Safety and Health
Management System “SMK3”. Moreover, his AVIA's excellent performance in SMK3 in 2022 was
externally recognized by winning the "Zero Accident" award from the East Java Provincial
Government.
AVIA is a family business and faces risks such as intrafamily discord, communication problems,
and accusations of nepotism from non-family employees, which can undermine the family
business's desire to grow and its smooth running. AVIA has successfully managed this issue. The
painting industry has been working hard for 45 years. Three of five AVIA's board members are
family members of the company's owners. However, no controversy arose regarding this. AVIA's
entire management team has performed well without any incidents. AVIA also meets the
requirements of ISO 26001 regarding good corporate governance (GCG) practices, prevention
of social harassment, and gender equality.
Investment Summary
We are optimistic about the growth of AVIA's distribution network due to a series of strategic
steps taken until the end of YTD Q3 2023. AVIA's big advantage is that it has 156 Distribution
Centers and around 56,000 retailers, which is far above the average of AVIA's competitors (Fig
19). Additionally, AVIA's unique competency in owning dyeing machines adds a significant
dimension to its competitiveness. This technology allows us to consistently create the colors
Fig. 16 - Consumption per Capita of Paint and consumers want, bringing rare and valuable elements to the market. With the combination of a
Decorative Coating strong distribution strategy, high operational efficiency, and the ability to meet consumer color
Source: Frost and Sullivan, Company Data, Team Analysis preferences through advanced technology, our confidence in AVIA's market share growth and
strengthening of position in the market continues to grow.
AVIA remains steadfast in its efforts to maintain its position as the leading player in the national
paint industry, boasting a market share exceeding 20%. As a prominent figure in this industry,
AVIA is dedicated to expanding its market share, thereby creating a wider gap between itself
and competitors, both national and multinational. To date, the market presence serves more
than 56,000 hardware stores scattered throughout Indonesia, reinforcing its stronghold and
still growing (Figure 18). Additionally, AVIA is a trusted paint supplier for a diverse range of
contractors (paint workers) across various project types.
Fig. 17 - Total Market Size in Paint and
Decorative Coating in Some Countries These achievements are not only sustained by the ownership of 116 in-house distribution
(in $MM) centers and 40 third-party distribution centers but also by a robust marketing team. The
Source: Frost and Sullivan, Team Analysis marketing efforts include the deployment of product consultants strategically placed within
retail outlets to promote AVIA’s products and address any inquiries that may arise from end
consumers visiting these stores. We anticipate a continual increase in the count of Distribution
Centers, projecting growth to 187 by 2032F (Figure 19). This augments our optimism regarding
the advancement of AVIA's market share. The increasing number of market shares will also
reflect the number of stores AVIA has reached (Figure 18)
In a developing nation like Indonesia, consumer needs vary widely, encompassing a broad
spectrum of preferences, from the most budget-friendly paints to premium selections. To
effectively meet these diverse demands, Avian Brands offers a comprehensive and diverse
product portfolio, as showcased in (Appendix 14).
Consumer preferences often shift in response to changes in their financial situations. During
economic downturns or when consumers are on a tight budget, there's a tendency to opt for
more affordable paint products. Conversely, when consumer purchasing power improves,
there's a natural inclination to seek out higher-quality paint products.
Financial Analysis
We use a 4.3% growth rate (a rate above inflation but below GDP Growth) to forecast the trading
goods segment. Our assumption is based on the fact that 1) AVIA is not a market leader in the
Fig. 22 - AVIA’s Revenue Structure trading goods segment, and 2) AVIA has a strong position in its distribution channel to maintain
Source: Company Data, Team Analysis its growth.
2] Expenses:
In 2022, AVIA's Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) amounted to IDR 3,948 Bn with 73% originating from
Architectural
the Architectural Solution segment and 27% from the Trading Goods segment (Figure 24).
Notably, the Architectural COGS is primarily influenced by direct material prices, avia direct
Trading Goods
materials are mostly specifically oil derivatives. AVIA procures its trading goods from affiliated
suppliers, and the prevailing belief is that the costs from these suppliers are fair, given AVIA's
consistently healthy gross profit margin of approximately 17% in the trading goods segment.
We Forecast Both Architectural and trading goods cost of goods sold. AVIA's cost of goods sold
in the architectural segment is mostly determined by:
1. Average COGS / Metric Tons ( Figure 23). We believe that it is very hard to predict their
exact ACP in the future because it is determined by a lot of factors such as Direct Materials
Fig. 23 - Architectural Profitability Breakdown
Prices and Avia BTL Expenses. We use the 3 % (8-year Indonesian inflation Growth rate) to
(Metrics Tons)
forecast the Average Cost selling price. we use the inflation rate in the assumption that
Source: Company Data, Team Analysis
direct material prices and other costs on average will rise in line with inflation, we believe
that this forecast is pretty conservative remembering that direct materials can fluctuates
up and down.
2. Number of volumes sold. The trading goods segment is forecasted by using the same
growth rate as the revenue which is around 4,3%. We use this rate with an assumption that
their supplier will sell their product with the same margin in the long term. (Figure 21).
Direct Materials Analysis
Most of AVIA COGS are direct materials (Figure 25). Predicting the exact trajectory of AVIA's
direct materials prices poses a notable challenge. However, the company's primary direct
materials costs, which include Resin (comprising 18-23% of the total cost of goods sold), Color
Pigment (7%), additives (5%), solvent (6%), and plastic packaging (7-8%), are significantly
influenced by fluctuations in oil prices, given their status as oil-derived materials (Figure 26).
Avia also faces a currency risk in its direct materials cost due to the importation of certain
direct materials from other countries (Figure 27). AVIA also takes pride in producing our raw
materials in-house, which results in cost savings and sustainability (Figure 27). Historically, AVIA
Fig. 24 - Cost of structure has effectively managed to safeguard its gross profit margin in the face of rising direct materials
Source: Company Data, Team Analysis prices by adjusting product ASP. We remain confident that AVIA can maintain and potentially
enhance its long-term gross profit margin, underscoring the strong brand reputation enjoyed by
the company (Figure 29).
3] Profitability:
Fig. 25 - AVIA’s Cost Structure
Source: Company Data, Team Analysis
Gross profit is projected to increase from IDR 2,746 Bn in 2022 to IDR 6,240 Bn in 2032F,
reflecting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.55%. From a gross profit margin
standpoint, the AVIA margin is anticipated to expand by 6%, with 2022 at 41% and 2032 at 47%.
This underscores our confidence in the strength of the AVIA brand, influencing its pricing
capabilities. (Figure 29).
Operating profit is projected to increase from IDR 1,459 Bn in 2022 to IDR 3,692 Bn in 2032F,
reflecting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.73%%. From an Operating profit margin
standpoint, the AVIA margin is anticipated to expand by 5%, with 2022 at 21.8% and 2032F at
27.56%. (Figure 29).
We anticipate a positive trajectory in Avia's Operating Cash Flow from 2022 to 2032F, projecting
a cumulative operating cash flow of IDR 23,346 Bn during this period (Figure 31). Our long-term
forecast suggests that Avia is poised to sustain its previous favorable Cash Conversion Cycle.
This assumption can be attributed to their robust customer and supplier relationships, coupled
with their adept management, boasting over 40 years of experience, particularly in managing
Fig. 27 - Direct Material Sources AVIA‘s inventory.
Source: Company Data, Team Analysis
Moreover, we envision Avia adopting a prudent financial strategy by implementing a 90%
dividend payout ratio of net income. Our confidence in this assumption is grounded in two key
factors:
1. Avia requires minimal capital expenditure owing to its low utilization rate. Our projection for
2032 indicates a 40% utilization rate for Avia. ( Figure 28).
2. Avia boasts significant cash reserves evident in its balance sheets. We firmly believe that their
ample cash position supports a sustainable 90% Dividend Payout Ratio. We firmly believe that
their ample cash position supports a sustainable 90% Dividend Payout Ratio (Figure 28).
Notably, AVIA experienced a significant drop in return on equity, from 24.5% before the IPO to
15.24% primarily due to the surplus cash from the IPO (Figure 32). We propose that this excess
cash be strategically deployed to optimize returns on equity, perhaps through avenues like
targeted company acquisitions. If such deployment fails to achieve returns surpassing the pre-
IPO levels, we think it prudent for the management to consider cash distribution through
dividends and buy back their stocks below their intrinsic value. This approach ensures a
Fig. 29 - AVIA’s GPM, OPM, and NPM
judicious use of resources while maximizing shareholder value.
Source: Company Data, Team Analysis
Additionally, AVIA's quick ratio reflects a sound financial position, with 6.83 indicating a healthy
liquidity level. The Cash Rich position not only reinforces financial strength but also positively
influences the company's debt position. Avia exhibits minimal financial debt, constituting only
12.7 % of the total equity. This Cash-rich financial position further contributes to the company's
overall financial stability.
Valuation
Following our analysis, we hereby deliver a BUY recommendation for AVIA, with a designated
target price of IDR 611 per share. This recommendation implies a potential upside of 21%. Our
analytical approach is rooted in an intrinsic valuation framework, with the principal valuation
Fig. 30 - AVIA vs Nippon Paint Indonesia methodology being the application of the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method. (Figure 33).
Profitability (IDRmm)
Source: Company Data, Team Analysis 1] FCFE Approach
In summarizing the valuation, three key variables on the income statement impact the
company's net income, consequently influencing the overall valuation:
1) Revenues: These are influenced by both architectural revenues and trading goods segments.
Architectural revenue will be influenced by their average selling price and their volume.
Fig. 31 - Cash Flow Summary (in IDRbn) 2) COGS (Cost of Goods Sold): the C0GS of the architectural segment is mostly determined by
Source: Company Data, Team Analysis direct materials' volatility and production costs. Their direct materials and production costs will
be affected by oil-based direct materials, currency standpoint, and the number of volumes sold.
the COGS of the Trading Goods segment is mostly determined by their Affiliation suppliers.
3) Operational Expenses: The efficiency in how Avia management handles operational costs
plays a pivotal role in the valuation process. The operational expense is affected by their above-
the-line marketing projections, salaries, and wages.
4] Growth Rationale
Our projection indicates a robust growth in the company's Free Cash Flow, expected to grow
over 6% in the next decade. This assumption is grounded in several key factors: The rapid
growth in consumption of AVIA's architectural products can be attributed to the increasing
pace of urbanization and GDP growth (Figure 15, 36). This trend is expected to lead to a
significant uptick in the volume of industry products sold, as urbanization typically drives
higher demand for construction and architectural solutions (Figure 37). Increased industry
consumption due to rising standards of living. The increase in the Indonesian standard of living
will drive the demand for architectural products and shorten the repainting cycle. (Figure 35)
The company's substantial cash reserves, position it for potential acquisitions of competitors
within the industry, which could bolster company profitability.
Fig. 34 - AVIA’s NI, CAPEX, and NWC It's essential to note that forecasting a company's terminal growth rate carries a relatively high
(in IDRbn) margin of error. Recognizing competition risk as one of the primary company risks (Figure 33),
Source: Company Data, Team Analysis
we have conservatively estimated the terminal Free Cash Flow growth rate to be approximately
1.5% below the long-term Real GDP growth rate in Indonesia (Figure 39). We have refrained
from adopting a more aggressive approach in estimating the terminal growth rate, as we do not
identify sufficient competitive advantages within AVIA to justify such a stance.
For conservative assessments, we solely consider net cash when determining the liquidation
value of the company.

At the current share price, AVIA is trading at FY23F PE of 21x below the global paint company
median PE of 24.8x
We've conducted a scenario analysis to assess AVIA’s performance across 3 different scenarios
CAGR 7.4% (Figure 38). We believe that the primary driver for AVIA’s valuation lies in their pricing power
and the ability to enhance both ASP and volume growth. In the base case scenario, representing
our strongest conviction, we project a 3.3% ASP growth and a 5% volume increase. This
underscores AVIA's strategic emphasis on enhancing profitability while maintaining competitive
positioning. In the best-case scenarios, we anticipate a more aggressive approach with a 5% ASP
growth and a 5% volume surge, signifying a higher risk for reduced volume growth in pursuit of
increased profitability. Conversely, the worst-case scenario reveals a 2% ASP growth and a 6%
volume increase, indicating AVIA's focus on increasing its industry positioning and market share.
It's essential to note that AVIA ASP and Consumer Buying Power play a pivotal role in shaping

TP: 789
With the official end of the COVID-19 pandemic in July 2023, Indonesia's economy continues to
recover. According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Indonesia's economy has
TP: 557
shown an increase of 4.94% YoY and 1.6% QoQ in the third quarter of 2023. However,
Indonesia's economy is not immune to risks. The global economic slowdown amid the Russia-
Ukraine conflict, and Palestine-Israel conflict, will increase the risks to achieving Indonesia's
economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2023. Global risks are expected to impact Indonesia's
economic growth, which is targeted to reach 5.2% (Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs of
the Republic of Indonesia, 2023). The global economic growth for 2023 is projected to slow
down from 2022. Nevertheless, developing countries are projected to grow above global
economic growth and developed countries.
In the year 2024, Indonesia will also experience a political year with a presidential election.
During a change of power, there are several risks to be considered. IKN (National Capital
Fig. 39 - Indonesia Real GDP Growth Integrated Coastal Development) presents a good opportunity for AVIA if capitalized
Source: Company Data, Team Analysis effectively. If the development of IKN continues, it will stimulate housing and infrastructure
demand, consequently driving the need for the paint industry. If not continued or if the
implementation of its construction is not executed effectively, there is a risk of losing the
opportunity for growth.
If all the worst-case scenarios of this risk occur, it will have an impact on AVIA's operating profit.
During economic downturns and when the purchasing power of the public is weak, AVIA's sales
volume will be affected. We observed this in 2022 when sales volume declined, and at the same
time, AVIA increased its ASP. However, in 2022, AVIA's operating profit margin decreased from
26.59% in 2021 to 21.80% in 2022.
AVIA is also faced with regulatory issues. Over time, the government is increasingly paying
attention to environmental issues such as factory waste and carbon emissions. As a paint
factory, AVIA generates several types of waste from its operational activities, namely hazardous
Fig. 41 - Crude Oil Futures Prices and toxic materials and non-hazardous and toxic materials. Chemical spills, oil, fuel, or other
Source: Tradingeconomics, Team Analysis hazardous substances can have a negative impact on soil quality, water, air, biodiversity, and

ESG ratings were determined by evaluating risk and opportunity exposures and management performance. The risks and rewards
of exposure are evaluated on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 indicating no exposure and 10 indicating very high exposure. The control
score also ranges from 0 to 10, with 0 representing no sign of management effort and 10 representing firm control. To obtain the
same key issue score, the Risk Exposure Score and the Risk Management Score are combined such that the higher the Exposure
Score, the higher the level of management competency that must be demonstrated. Opportunity assessment works similarly to
risk, but a different model combines opportunity recognition and management. Ratings for key issues are also given on a scale of 0
to 10, with 0 being very poor and 10 being very good.
