Indonesian Coal, Mixed FY11, CLSA

Indonesian thermal coal producers lived up to their production promises in FY11, but reported a mixed set of results. Standouts were Adaro and ITM which reported above ours and consensus expectations on strong ASP and cost control. Oil prices present the biggest risk to earnings in 12CL having averaged US$117/t during 1Q11. We factor in increased fuel costs into our numbers. Top picks remain ITM for defensive earnings and yield and Harum for highest production growth under our coverage.
