www.thejakartaglobe.com - Citra Marga Nusaphala Persada, an Indonesian toll road operator, plans to sell Rp 1.2 trillion ($130 million) in bonds in the second quarter this year to partly finance its expansion plans, a company executive said.
Indrawan Sumantri, finance director of the company, said in Jakarta on Thursday that the company’s bond sale would consist of Rp 700 billion in conventional debt sales and Rp 500 billion in Islamic debt, or sukuk.
“The bonds will mature in five years,” said Indrawan, declining to give other terms of the sale. (source)
The company has hired Indo Premier Securities, Sucorinvest Central Gani, Ciptadana Securities and Equator Securities to help arrange the debt sale.
Citra Marga, like many other Indonesian companies, is rushing to tap the debt market to capitalize on low borrowing costs in Southeast Asia’s largest economy and an investment-grade status recently granted by international rating companies.
Bank Negara Indonesia, the country’s fourth-largest lender by assets, plans to sell $500 million in bonds in the second quarter.
Net income at Citra Marga, which went public in 1995, rose to Rp 357.64 billion last year, up from Rp 298.26 billion in 2010, while its revenue increased to Rp 803.45 billion from Rp 750.36 billion.
Shares of the company rose 3.41 percent to Rp 2,275 on the Indonesia Stock Exchange on Friday. The shares have risen 35.4 percent so far this year.
Citra Marga operates several toll roads, including the Tanjung Priok and Cawang link, in East Jakarta, according to its Web site.
