Indonesia Healthcare - Strong as expected

Healthcare JW SH SC EM 726 6th Aug, 2024


2Q24 review: Healthcare still showed some of the strongest sector growth in JCI Index

Overall strong results were pretty much in line with what we had expected (read: A naturally defensive sector). A q-q decline in overall metrics was seen in 2Q24 more due to the Lebaran holiday that took place in early April, resulting in overall lower traffic in the quarter.

Hermina (HEAL IJ, Buy) booked the highest overall revenue/NPAT growth among the hospitals, attributable to the larger addition of operational beds in YTD and increasing its bed occupancy ratio (BOR) compared to hospital peers (Fig. 3 and Fig. 4). 1H24 EBITDA margin arrived at 29.5%, slightly higher than company guidance of 28.7%; this should provide enough cushion for potentially a lower 2H24F EBITDA margin, as we expect three new built hospital (PIK 2, Nusantara, and Madiun) to be finished in the period.

Mitra Keluarga (MIKA IJ, Neutral) and Siloam (SILO IJ, Neutral) book revenue trendsroughly similar to that of HEA. However, we believe that it is worth highlighting the ability for MIKA to improve its EBITDA margin both q-q (37% in 1Q24) and y-y (35% in 2Q23) to 39% in 2Q24. This signifies its operational efficiency compared to its peers, in our view.

Prodia (PRDA IJ, Neutral) booked an in-line result, signalling an earnings recovery amid declining testing volume, attributable to management’s main focus on savings on opex. However, we don’t expect testing volume will rebound easily in 2H24F, as we think that challenge that PRDA faces from the routine testing price war with other hospital/lab testing players will not be easy to counter, given the similarity in product offering in routine testing (92% of PRDA testing volume in 1Q24).

Performance should remain solid for the rest of the year

We are expecting the overall solid result for the hospitals to continue in 2H24F. Typically, there are no seasonality difference across quarters for the hospitals unless we are seeing more holidays in a certain period.

Our verdict on the sector

Our pecking order for the healthcare sector remains : HEAL> MIKA> SILO> PRDA. HEAL remains our top pick for the sector, as the company boasted the highest growth compared to other hospital with relatively cheap valuation compared to the local and regional peers. While MIKA is the best operator compared to its peers, its expensive valuation is still the main pushback. While the ongoing voluntary tender offer (VTO) proposal for SILO from a consortium led by CVC Capital Partners (CVC NA, Not rated) is still worth monitoring, we remain skeptical that PRDA will experience a volume recovery in 2H24F.
