ADRO (Buy, TP: Rp2,630) - 2Q25/ 1H25 Results – Miss Due to Weaker ASP and OB Volumes · 1H25 profit (from continuing operations) and EBITDA fell -39% and -20% yoy respectively and accounted for 33/43% and 36/ 33% of our/ consensus FY25F. · ADMR’s coal ASP fell further to US$152/t in 2Q25, bringing 1H25 ASP to US$153/t (13% below our forecast). · ADMR’s 1H25 production and sales volumes grew 16% and 11% yoy respectively, and is on trac to achieve our forecast (52/ 49% of FY25F). · SIS posted a strong +38% qoq rebound in 2Q25 OB volumes, but still fell short to offset the weak 1Q25 volumes due to high rainfall; 1H25 OB volumes fell -5% yoy, forming only 44% of our FY25F. · Overall, a weak set of 1H25 results, with potentially better 2H25 amid recovery in coking coal price to US$180/t, but is likely to remain below our expectation (FY25F ASP of US$176/t).

ANTM (Buy, TP: Rp3,000) 2Q25/ 1H25 – earnings beat from gold sales and nickel ore · 2Q25 core profit rose +20% qoq/ +95% yoy, bringing 1H25 core profit to Rp4.7tr (+203% yoy, forming 72%/ 69% of our/ cons FY25F. · 2Q25 revenue accelerated +26% qoq/ 126% yoy, driven by strong gold sales volume (+13% qoq/ 76% yoy) and margins, combined with 14% qoq growth in nickel ore, which more than offset the weak FeNi sales. · Expect 2H25 earnings to normalize, but FY25F remains likely above ours and consensus current forecast.

BBNI (Buy, TP: Rp4,800) - Bank-only Jul25 Results Jul25 Insight: · Modest bottom line: BBNI posted net profit of Rp1.7tr in Jul25 (+3% mom, –11% yoy), pressured by continued NIM compression and elevated costs. · NIM stayed below 4%: NIM slipped 6bps mom to 3.8% (–79bps yoy) as CoF stayed steady at 3.1%. · Elevated opex pushed CIR higher: Opex surged to Rp2.6tr (+17% mom, +10% yoy), the highest monthly level YTD, mainly from higher salaries and other expenses, pushing CIR to 50.0%. · CoC stayed low: CoC held at 0.9% in Jul25 (–22bps mom, –7bps yoy). · LDR stayed below 90%: Loans were flat mom, while deposits fell 1%, nudging LDR up to 87% from 86%.
7M25 Insight: · Yoy earnings decline: BBNI booked Rp11.9tr net profit in 7M25 (–5% yoy), in line with our forecast (58%) but slightly behind consensus (56%) vs 7M24’s 58%. · Negative PPOP performance: PPOP turned negative as opex rose 6% yoy while NII was flat. · NIM declined despite stable CoF: CoF stayed at 3.0%, but a 28bps drop in EA yield and lower LDR dragged NIM down 31bps to 3.9%. · Slight rise in provisions, CoC maintained at 0.9%: Provisions rose 6% yoy in line with loan growth, keeping CoC flat at 0.9%, below the FY25 target of 1%. · Above industry deposit growth: Loan growth of 6% yoy and deposit growth of 19% yoy drove LDR down to 87% (from 97% in 7M24).

BBTN (Buy, TP: Rp1,400) - Bank-only Jul25 Results Jul25 Insight: · Profitability plot twist: After a strong Jun25, net profit plunged to Rp92bn (-82% mom, -9% yoy) as both NIM and CoC turned negative. · Negative PPOP offset by negative CoC: PPOP was negative at Rp525bn, but a Rp619bn provision reversal kept the bottom line positive. · Tanked asset yield put NIM in the red: EA yield dropped to 4.0% in Jul25, likely from the partial reversal of front-loaded asset yield in Jun25. · Slightly better CoF: CoF improved 4bps mom to 4.3%. · CoC turned negative: Provision reversal drove CoC to -2.0% in Jul25.
7M25 Insight: · Resilient bottom-line growth: BBTN booked Rp1.8tr net profit (+12% yoy), achieving 54% of our and 55% of consensus FY25F forecasts, in line with expectations (7M24: 53%). · NIM expanded on front-loaded asset yield: NIM climbed 77bps yoy to 3.7%, with EA yield rising 60bps yoy to 8.0%, supported by accounting changes. · More than doubled credit cost: CoC reached 1.4% (+87bps yoy), surpassing management’s initial 1.0–1.1% FY25 target but within revised guidance (~1.5%). · Opex growth moderated: Lower Jul25 opex slowed 7M25 opex growth to 5%, cutting CIR by 1,119bps yoy, helped by 35% NII growth. · LDR stayed ~94%: Deposits grew 7% yoy vs 6% loan growth, lowering LDR from 95% (7M24) to 94%.
Summary: · BBTN’s 7M25 results were weak, with margin reversal eroding Jul25 profitability despite provision reversal support. Still, YTD results stayed in line due to a low base in Jul24. (Victor Stefano & Naura Reyhan Muchlis – BRIDS)

NIM was flat vs 5M25. · CIR lifted above 50% on higher opex: Opex jumped 18% yoy (mainly promotional and other expenses), driving CIR up to 50.6% (+191bps yoy, +114bps vs 5M25). · CoC elevated but within control: CoC stood at 0.9% (+6bps yoy). · LDR stayed at 90%: Loans grew 14% yoy, deposits increased 10%, lifting LDR to 90% (vs 86% in 7M24) but slightly down from 91% in 5M25.
Summary: · BRIS’s 7M25 results were soft, with higher opex and elevated CoC weighing on earnings despite strong NII and fee income growth. (Victor Stefano & Naura Reyhan Muchlis – BRIDS)
