Unilever Realisasikan Belanja Modal untuk Ekspansi Kapasitas

PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk (UNVR), emiten produsen barang konsumsi harian, telah merealisasikan dana belanja modal sebesar Rp 800 miliar per kuartal III 2013, menurut direksi perseroan. Realisasi tersebut setara 80% dari anggaran belanja modal Unilever di tahun ini sebesar Rp 1 triliun.

"Dari budget belanja modal 2013 sebesar Rp 1 triliun, sampai September 2013 sudah terserap Rp 800 miliar digunakan untuk ekspansi kapasitas pabrik di daerah Cikarang dan Surabaya serta untuk membeli alat produksi ice cream," ujar Sancoyo Antarikso, Direktur Unilever (10/1/14).

Menurut dia, perseroan akan menggunakan dana belanja modal sebesar Rp 400 miliar di semester II 2013. Sancoyo menuturkan, dana belanja modal hingga akhir semester II masih difokuskan untuk peningkatan kapasitas.

“Kami telah menggunakan dana belanja modal hingga akhir semester I hingga Rp 600 miliar,” tutur Sancoyo. Dia optimistis anggaran dana belanja modal perseroan bisa terserap pada akhir 2013.

Unilever menganggarkan belanja modal sebesar Rp 1 triliun tahun ini, turun 16,6% dibanding anggaran tahun lalu Rp 1,2 triliun. Penurunan tersebut karena Unilever telah menganggarkan dana belanja modal yang relatif besar sepanjang 2010-2012 yang mencapai Rp 4,2 triliun.

Penambahan kapasitas produksi dilakukan seiring pertumbuhan permintaan produk perseroan tiap tahun, dan perkiraan kenaikan permintaan tahun ini. Unilever akan menambah lini produksi untuk produk-produk yang utilisasinya mencapai 80%. "Selain untuk peningkatan kapasitas, belanja modal tahun ini juga untuk revitalisasi sistem distribusi," jelas Sancoyo.

Penambahan kapasitas yang dilakukan sejak tahun lalu juga mendorong Unilever mencatat pendapatan sebesar Rp 23 triliun per kuartal III 2013, tumbuh 13,3% dibanding periode yang sama tahun sebelumnya Rp 20,3 triliun. Peningkatan pendapatan ditopang oleh penjualan di pasar dalam negeri dan ekspor yang masing-masing tumbuh sebesar 10% dan 20%.

Pertumbuhan penjualan ikut menyebabkan beban pokok penjualan perseroan meningkat 13,1% menjadi Rp 11,2 triliun secara tahunan. Laba kotor perseroan tumbuh 14,5% menjadi Rp 11,8 triliun.

Meski demikian, persentase pertumbuhan beban usaha sebesar 17,2% tercatat lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan persentase pertumbuhan pendapatan 13,3%, sehingga margin usaha perseroan tertekan hingga kuartal III 2013.

Sementara itu, PT Mandom Indonesia Tbk (TCID), emiten pesaing Unilever di segmen perawatan tubuh, mencatat peningakatan margin usaha sebesar 140 basis poin menjadi 13,8% hingga kuartal III 2013. Peningkatan margin usaha tersebut antara lain terjadi seiring dengan peningkatan beban yang lebih kecil dibanding pertumbuhan pendapatan.

"Meningkatnya beban pokok penjualan sebesar 8,8% menjadi Rp 979,8 miliar yang ditopang oleh kenaikan beban tenaga kerja tidak berdampak pada pertumbuhan laba kotor perseroan sebesar 14,9% menjadi Rp 580,3 miliar. Hal itu pada akhirnya juga menyebabkan kinerja laba usaha, laba bersih, beserta margin perseroan terus tumbuh," kata Takeshi Hibi, Direktur Utama Mandom Indonesia dalam keterangan tertulis.

Hingga September 2013, pendapatan perseroan tercatat sebesar Rp 1,56 triliun atau tumbuh 11,4% dibanding periode yang sama tahun 2012. “Peningkatan penjualan produk-produk perseroan baik di pasar domestik maupun ekspor mendorong kinerja pendapatan sepanjang periode tersebut," kata Hibi.

General Economic Outline of Indonesia

Indonesia, currently the 18th-largest economy in the world, is experiencing remarkable economic growth. After the Asian Financial Crisis of the late 1990s halted a booming economy fostered by the Suharto government, Indonesian macroeconomic indicators started to come back on track in the mid 2000s.

Although the Asian Financial Crisis had disastrous consequences (especially on the poorer urban segments of society), important lessons have been learned too. The financial system for example, which to a large extent lacked supervision and transparency, was replaced by a system entailing more prudent fiscal policies in line with international economic standards, thus fostering integration with global markets. Moreover, the Asian Financial Crisis has been the catalyst for a process of political democratization and liberalization that continues up to the present.

Prudent financial macroeconomic policy is one reason why Indonesia was resilient to the global financial crisis of 2008-2009. Both public and private debt have fallen sharply (as a percentage of GDP), international reserves have grown fast and inflation has been under control. In combination with relative political stability and certain favorable demographic trends it provides opportunities for strong economic performance over the medium term. Regarding the longer term, the Indonesian government aims to be in the top six of largest global economies by the year 2030.

Another key element that accounts for Indonesia's recent economic growth is domestic consumption. In line with rising per capita GDP and low borrowing costs, Indonesia's private consumption is robust. It accounted for 56 percent of the country's economic activity in 2011 and future projections indicate that it is to grow further.

Despite such positive conditions Indonesia remains a complex country from a business, social and political perspective. We advise those that intend to invest in Indonesia to read our Risks of Investing in Indonesia page as one should be aware of matters that can negatively influence Indonesia's investment climate.

Composition of Indonesia's Economy: the three main sectors
The table below indicates a remarkable development during the last five decades in the percentage shares of the three main economic sectors (to wit agriculture, industry and services) with regard to Indonesia's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Indonesia changed from being an economy that was highly dependent on agriculture into a more balanced economy in which the percentage share of manufacturing in the country's GDP quickly exceeded that of the agriculture sector.

This also indicates that Indonesia lessened its traditional dependency on primary exports, although it still remains relatively high today. It should also be underlined that all of these sectors underwent rapid expansion, despite the fact that its contribution to Indonesia's GDP fell (agriculture) or remained at a similar level throughout the indicated period (the services sector).
