    Consolidation and Integration

    “ “Coal continues to feel the pressure of a weak market price. Far from experiencing a recovery from a prolonged price depression, the monthly average benchmark price of Newcastle Index declined from US$96.9 per ton in 2012 to US$85.3 per ton in 2013.

    Without doubt, coal producers are forced to work in the most effective and efficient manner to cope with the challenging conditions that still prevailed throughout 2013. Only those who are strong – strong in the sense of being efficient and cost-effective in terms of operations – and can still enjoy a healthy operating margin. Not exceptional, but healthy.

    Keenly aware of this, Toba Bara exerted all efforts to make its coal mining operations one of the most cost-effective in the sector. To that end, the Company consolidated its strengths – human resources, work process, marketing strategy and social responsibility – and integrated the infrastructures of its three subsidiary coalmine entities.

    With its consolidation and integration steps, Toba Bara came through the year 2013 with flying colours.

  • 2013 Annual Report2

    Full-scale Integration

    1Toba Bara benefits from the locations of its three

    subsidiary coalmine entities that are adjacent to one

    another. This enables the Company to plan, build and

    operate mining infrastructures in an integrated and

    synergistic manner. Imagine the immense benefits that

    can be derived from a coal-hauling road, which is not

    only shared but can be used to transport coal; shorten

    the distance to store away overburden; and enabling

    the three mining entities to also share the use of other

    coal producing facilities – coal crusher, stockpile yard,

    conveyor belt – simply because they are connected to

    one another through the haul road.

  • 2013 Annual Report 3

  • 2013 Annual Report4

    Cost Efficiency

    2With the integrated mining infrastructures, Toba Bara

    benefits from the economies of scale of its mining

    operations that are reflected in the decreasing operating

    costs of the three mining companies.

    The outcome of this has been a significant amount of

    savings in both production and operating costs, which is

    even more significant in light of the depressed coal market

    in recent years.

    In the eyes of Toba Bara, nothing is more important than

    cost efficiency in the current state of the coal industry.

    Toba Bara was able to achieve this through the strategy

    of consolidation and integration that it has pursued since

    2013.

  • 2013 Annual Report 5

  • 2013 Annual Report6

    Increasing Productivity

    3With increasing integration of the mining infrastructures

    and facilities among its three mining entities, Toba Bara

    has been able to increase coal production volume, achieve

    better and more efficient working processes in the fields,

    and meet higher productivity.

    In 2011, the Toba Bara Group produced a total of 5.2 million

    tons of coal. In 2012, this was increased to 5.6 million tons.

    And in 2013, production volume increased even further to

    6.5 million tons.

    The Company has not harnessed all of its resources

    to date, and therefore still has room for improvement,

    enhancement and perfection to increase its productivity

    even more in the years to come.

  • 2013 Annual Report 7

  • 2013 Annual Report8

    Quality Human Resources

    4Despite the Company’s efficiency drive, the number of

    employees increased. This shows the importance that

    Toba Bara has always placed in the roles that human

    resources play behind the business efforts of the

    Company, which has to sustained its growth, amid the

    challenges and uncertainties of the commodities market

    in recent years.

    An in-depth expertise on the natural resources industry

    itself – whether it be in the mining or plantation

    industries – is key to the successful pursuit of achieving

    that sustainable development.

    With a growing number of employees totalling 795

    people as of year-end 2013, the personnel of the Toba

    Bara Group have a median age of below 35 years.

    Whereas the largest group of employees are within the

    age range of 26 to 45 years old, generally the most

    productive years of any working person.

    As a result of which, the Company is set to face up to

    the challenges of the commodities markets in the future,

    forging ahead to become one of the leading players in

    the natural resources industry in Indonesia for decades

    to come.

  • 2013 Annual Report 9

  • 2013 Annual Report10

    Sustainable Social Responsibility

    5Corporate Social Responsibility constitutes one of the

    success factors of any mining or plantation operations,

    in view of the fact that these two business activities are

    intensely intertwined with the people or communities in

    the surrounding areas where the business operates.

    In recognition of this, Toba Bara through its three

    subsidiary entities places a strong emphasis on

    corporate social responsibility as a key initiative to foster

    harmonious relations with the surrounding communities.

    A number of corporate social responsibility programs

    have been undertaken by taking into consideration

    the primary needs of the surrounding communities,

    in addition to emphasizing activities that enhance

    community welfare such as through social and economic

    empowerment programs in education, health and decent

    livelihoods.

    Dividend Policy

    Based on Indonesian law, decision on dividend is made by

    shareholders through the General Meeting of Shareholders

    on the recommendation of the Board of Directors. The

    Company can announce the distribution of dividend annually

    if it has positive results. Prior to the closing of a financial year,

    interim dividend can be distributed, provided it is based on

    the Company’s Articles of Association, and if the distribution

    of such interim dividend does not result in the Company’s

    net assets to fall below the amount of fully subscribed and

    paid-in capital, and furthermore, the Company still meets the

    requirement for statutory reserves pursuant to the Limited

    Liability Company Law on compulsory reserve. The distribution

    of interim dividend is determined by the Board of Directors post

    securing approval from the Board of Commissioners.

    The Company plans to pay cash dividend at least once a year.

    The amount of dividend is related to the profit of the Company

    for the financial year, mindful of the financial condition of the

    Company, and without exempting the rights of the General

    Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to decide otherwise

    in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association and

    prevailing laws and regulations.

    The Company aims to pay dividends in the amount of at

    least 30% of its consolidated profit for the year (less minority

    interests and other comprehensive income) since financial year

    2012, while observing the compulsory reserve requirements

    pursuant to the Limited Liability Company Law. The amount

    of dividends to be distributed by the Company will depend on

    available cash flow, investment plans, liquidity condition, future

    business prospects and other factors that are deemed relevant

    by the Board of Directors and restrictions on the payment of

    dividends based on certain agreements.

    The shareholders on the prevailing listing date have rights

    to certain full dividend that has been approved, subject to

    prevailing income tax law in Indonesia. Dividend payable to

    a shareholder of foreign national is subject to income tax of

    maximum 20% in Indonesia.

    Dividends Payment

    Information on dividends payment is presented in the

    Corporate Governance section on page 80 of this Annual

    Report.

  • 2013 Annual Report18

    Report of the Chairman

    Jusman S. DjamalPresident Commissioner

    It gives me great pleasure to present

    the highlights of the achievements of

    PT Toba Bara Sejahtra Tbk for fiscal

    year 2013. This report also presents

    the assessment of the Board of

    Commissioners on the performance of

    the Company under the management

    of the Board of Directors, along with the

    supervisory measures of the Board of

    Commissioners on the management of

    the Company.

    In 2013, conditions affecting the coal

    industry sector in Indonesia were not

    encouraging. In fact, we can say that the

    mining industry in general – including

    that of coal – faced even greater

    challenges in 2013 than they did in the

    previous year.

    A number of factors such as the global

    price of coal that had not fully recovered,

    operating expenses that tended to rise,

    a global economy that is still weak, and

    the prolonged monetary crisis in some

    of the Eurozone countries, all of these

    factors influenced one way or another the

    coal industry in general, as well as the

    Company’s performance in particular.

    Dear Distinguished Shareholders,

    ““As a result of these efficiency measures, the Company was able to increase its profitability returns

    encouragingly.

  • 2013 Annual Report 19

    Under those rather unfavourable

    conditions, the development of the

    Indonesian economy was also not very

    encouraging. Indonesia’s GDP growth

    declined from 6.2% in 2012 to 5.8%

    in 2013. Several other key indicators

    also reflected similar discouraging

    developments, among which were

    the weakening of the Rupiah that

    depreciated by 26% throughout the year,

    the benchmark interest rate of Bank

    Indonesia that rose from 5.75% to 7.5%

    by year-end 2013, and inflation rate that

    increased from 4.3% in 2012 to 8.4% in

    2013.

    Although still within the safe corridor,

    Indonesia has begun to feel the external

    effects that are potentially harmful

    to the delicate balance of its macro-

    economy. For example, the suspension

    of the quantitative easing policy of the

    US Federal Reserve Bank resulted in

    capital flight from Indonesia that instantly

    brought down the exchange rate value of

    the Rupiah. Indonesia’s external balance

    of payment suffered due to a weakening

    of exports relative to imports that had

    prevailed throughout 2013. At the same

    time, Indonesia also experienced current

    account deficits that continued to rise

    over the years, among other things due

    to the cost of subsidies on fuel, electricity

    and other utilities that are still borne by

    the government.

    Obviously we hope that those

    unfavourable conditions will soon change

    for the better in 2014 and beyond.

    Assessing the Performance of the

    BOD

    Against the backdrop of numerous

    challenges in 2013, PT Toba Bara

    Sejahtra Tbk posted quite an

    encouraging performance.

    In our opinion, the Board of Directors

    was able to execute the budget and

    work plan of the Company for the

    financial year 2013, as mandated by the

    shareholders and guided by the Board of

    Commissioners.

    By implementing the right production

    strategy, the Company was able to

    increase its production volume by 16.1%

    to 6.5 million tons of coal in 2013. At

    the same time, the Company was also

    able to undertake tight cost efficiency

    measures without compromising the

    safety and security of its operations. As

    a result of these efficiency measures,

    the Company was able to increase its

    profitability returns encouragingly.

    The Company posted a total

    comprehensive income for the year of

    US$36.1 million on total net revenues of

    US$421.8 million in 2013, an increase of

    200.8% and 6.3%, respectively, of those

    of 2012.

    Integration of Infrastructure Enhances

    Competitiveness

    There is no denying that the nature of the

    coal commodity market, that has suffered

    from the depressed coal prices in recent

    years, has somewhat shifted the focus on

    what constitute a successful coal mining

    operations. It used to be that production

    volume was the primary measure of

    success for any coal mine operations.

    This is no longer true. Today, to be a coal

    mining company that is able to produce

    coal at a lower or more efficient operating

    cost compared to that of any other coal

    mining company is a must, especially

    when seen in the context of achieving

    sustainable growth and profitability.

    Report of the Chairman

  • 2013 Annual Report20

    Report of the Chairman

    To that end, Toba Bara enjoys a unique advantage compared

    to its peers. Through its three operating subsidiaries, the

    Company owns three coal mine concession areas that

    are adjacent to one another. This allows for the sharing of

    mining infrastructure in an integrated manner. In 2013, the

    Company’s Management focused their attention and exerted

    all efforts to enhance that integration even further. This

    enables the Company to suppress the operating costs of its

    mines efficiently and effectively. In turn, the cost efficiency has

    increased Toba Bara’s competitiveness, while also maintaining

    sound profitability.

    That is why the theme of our 2013 Annual Report,

    “Consolidation and Integration,” aptly describes the efforts of

    the Company not only to prevail over the competition in the

    market, but also to ensure the Company’s sustainable long-

    term growth.

    Implementing Corporate Governance that Continues to be

    Enhanced

    The Board of Commissioners continues to carry out its

    supervisory roles with the help of the committee under its

    control, namely the Audit Committee. The establishment

    of this committee is part of implementing Good Corporate

    Governance (GCG) that continues to be enhanced by the

    Company.

    The Board of Commissioners welcomes the initiatives that

    have been and will continue to be taken by the Company with

    respect to developing or implementing the policies of GCG

    within the Company in line with international best practices

    such as the Recommendation of the OECD (Organisation

    for Economic Co-operation and Development), the ASEAN

    Scorecard, the Guidelines of the National Committee on GCG,

    prevailing laws and regulations, and the Articles of Association

    of the Company.

    One of the Company’s strengths in corporate governance is

    that all of the members of the Board of Commissioners of PT

    Toba Bara Sejahtra Tbk are not affiliated with the majority

    shareholder of the Company.

    This means that the level of independence of the Board of

    Commissioners of the Company is 100%, well above the

    mandatory requirement of the Capital Market Authority of more

    than 30% of the board membership.

    In 2013, with the help of the Audit Committee, the Board of

    Commissioners continued to monitor the execution of risk

    management policies, implementation of internal audit, and

    compliance to prevailing laws and regulations, including the

    Company’s standard operating procedures. I am pleased that,

    based on audit findings and other internal controls, there were

    no indications of frauds or other activities that fall outside of

    prevailing rules and regulations.

    The Board of Commissioners has reviewed the audited

    consolidated financial statements of the Company for the

    year ending 31 December 2013 and is of the opinion that

    the Company has achieved most of its targets for the year.

    The Board of Commissioners duly submits said financial

    statements for the approval of shareholders at the Annual

    General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company in 2014.

    Human Resources and Social Responsibility

    The Board of Commissioners also monitors as a matter

    of course the company’s activities in the areas of Human

    Resources (HR) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

    In 2013, Toba Bara continued to place an emphasis on

    employee welfare, training and HR development, as well as

    meeting the collective aspiration of the communities in which

    the Company and its subsidiary entities operate. As in previous

    years, Toba Bara directed its CSR activities in a planned

    and systematic manner towards long-term objectives that

    comprised of among other things empowering the economies

    of local villages, improving the quality of education, providing

    community health care services, including supporting healthy

    nutrition for babies, and alleviating poverty in general.

  • 2013 Annual Report 21

    Report of the Chairman

    Following up on past successes in environmental management prior to 2013, two of the Company’s subsidiary entities, namely

    ABN and IM, received a Green rating and Blue rating, respectively, in managing environmental conservation through PROPER, a

    government sanctioned environmental management program. In 2013, TMU also entered the PROPER program for the first time.

    In the discussion on CSR in its own section of this Annual Report, the Company has also begun to report activities related to

    three aspects of corporate sustainability – namely (i) environmental management, (ii) community development and (iii) product

    responsibility.

    Board of Commissioners Composition

    I am pleased to report that there has not been any change to the composition of the Board of Commissioners of PT Toba Bara

    Sejahtra Tbk since the last Annual GMS of the Company.

    As such, I continue to share my duties and responsibilities with my distinguished colleagues, Messrs. Bacelius Ruru and Farid

    Harianto, two highly accomplished professionals in government, business, the capital market and academia.

    Future Expectations

    The Board of Commissioners views that the steps taken by Toba Bara to consolidate and integrate its resources in these

    extremely challenging times for the coal industry, constitute the right approach with strategic implications for the continuity and

    sustainable growth of the Company going forward.

    With their numerous infrastructures and resources, the three subsidiary entities of Toba Bara were able to harness the synergy

    needed to enhance their competitiveness as well as the growing value that their businesses create.

    In the long run, the synergy will have a significant impact on the Company’s resilience and growth capacities. This was already

    evident in 2013, when amid the challenging conditions that had driven most coal mining companies in Indonesia to post lower

    results of operations than they did a year ago, the Company had in fact posted higher operating results.

    We are therefore highly confident of the Company’s ability to sustain its growth in 2014 and beyond.

    Closing Remarks

    It goes without saying that the success of Toba Bara could not have been achieved without the support and trust of a great many

    stakeholders.

    We are eternally grateful and appreciative of the Company’s shareholders, customers, employees, business partners, the central

    and regional governments, the people’s representatives and the communities in which the Company operates.

    May God bless all of our endeavours in the future.

    Report of the President Director

    Justarina S. M. NaiborhuPresident Director

    ““

    The year 2013 went by so quickly. The

    price of coal that had been depressed

    throughout 2012, had not fully recovered

    in 2013.

    This condition forced Toba Bara, through

    its three subsidiary entities that are

    engaged in the business of coal mining,

    namely Adimitra Baratama Nusantara

    (ABN), Indomining (IM) and Trisensa

    Mineral Utama (TMU), to work hard in

    response to the difficult and challenging

    market conditions.

    The Company undertook a number of

    initiatives to counter the challenging

    conditions, among the key initiatives

    of which were efforts to Consolidate

    and Integrate. Our consolidation efforts

    centred on human resources as well as

    on work processes and cost efficiencies;

    whereas our integration efforts were

    aimed at the mining infrastructures and

    other mining resources among the three

    subsidiary entities of the Company.

    Our consolidation and integration

    initiatives will be elaborated further

    herein, and constitute the theme of this

    Annual Report.

    Our consolidation efforts centered on human resources as well as on work processes and cost efficiencies; whereas

    our integration efforts were aimed at the mining infrastructures and other

    mining resources among the three subsidiary entities of the

    Company.

    Dear Distinguished Shareholders,

  • 2013 Annual Report 23

    However, allow me to present some

    of the results of our Consolidation and

    Integration initiatives that are quite

    encouraging.

    Amid a coal market background that

    has not been conducive, I am pleased

    to report the Company’s results of

    operations that are promising. Toba Bara

    posted total sales revenue that increased

    by 6.3% to US$421.8 million in 2013. The

    increase was derived primarily from the

    increase in sales volume by 14.5% to

    6.3 million tons of coal compared to that

    of the previous year. The Company also

    posted an encouraging growth in terms

    of comprehensive net income, amounting

    to US$36.1 million in 2013 compared

    to US$12.0 million a year before. The

    Company successfully achieved all of

    its key business targets as set forth in

    the Company’s budget and work plan of

    2013.

    The encouraging growth delta between

    the operating results of 2013 and those

    of 2012, however, was not as high as

    the growth delta between the years 2012

    and 2011. This prompted the Company

    to continue to consolidate and manage

    cost more efficiently, in addition to the

    aforementioned integration efforts.

    Cost efficiencies were achieved in almost

    every aspect of production, starting from

    mining operating cost, barging and fuel

    consumption to employing infrastructures

    on integrated basis.

    In the meantime, a reduction of the

    stripping ratio, shortening the distance

    to stow away overburden, and border

    mining activities – all contributed to

    further cost savings.

    These cost-efficiency initiatives

    succeeded in maintaining the Company’s

    operating margin at a healthy level, thus

    contributing positively to the Company’s

    operating income as well as net income

    for the year under review.

    Work Transformation Process

    One of the key factors behind the

    Company’s achievements in 2013

    was the efforts to transform the way

    the Company works that include

    reorganising, appointing the right

    people in key operating positions, and

    instilling the same understanding among

    all personnel of the three subsidiary

    entities towards the business goals

    and objectives of the Company. These

    transformation efforts had a significant

    impact on better operating efficiencies,

    cost and time efficiencies, and more

    importantly, on the formation of a

    stronger camaraderie and teamwork

    spirit between the personnel of Toba

    Bara and the three subsidiary entities.

    Several concrete results that have been

    gained from this work transformation

    process, among which are the 2013

    record-breaking fourth-quarter production

    volume that reached a total of 1.9

    million tons of coal, the highest ever

    quarterly production by the Company, the

    construction of the new hauling road from

    TMU to IM via ABN that was completed

    ahead of schedule, in addition to the

    aforementioned cost efficiencies.

    Report of the President Director

    Initiatives Carried Out by the Company

    The Company made a total of US$23.3 million in capital

    expenditure in 2013 to support its operating activities

    and improve work efficiencies. One of the realised capital

    expenditure was for the construction of a Coal Processing

    Plant (CPP) at IM that can increase the coal crushing capacity

    of Toba Bara from 13 Mmt to 16 Mmt.

    The increase in infrastructure capacities in 2013, as referred

    to above, is complemented by a number of initiatives

    undertaken in the area of marketing with the aim of securing

    the Company’s market share. Those initiatives include closing

    the deal on long-term coal sales contract at a locked price,

    expanding the marketing coverage area in response to the

    uncertain coal market conditions, and efforts to increase the

    number of end-user customers to balance the number of

    trading companies that the Company could rely upon.

    At the same time, the Company also enhanced its corporate

    communications and investor relations as a way to build a

    positive image around the brand Toba Bara. A number of

    initiatives taken by the Company’s Investor Relations Division

    have yielded positive results, including greater recognitions in

    the market from the various exposures of Toba Bara in leading

    media such as Forbes magazine, or the coverage of Toba Bara

    by market analysts from leading firms such as Macquarie, and

    the participation of Toba Bara in the Coal Trans Asia 2013 as

    one of the main sponsors as well as exhibitor in the trade fair.

    In addition, Toba Bara was also invited to speak in various

    prominent industry events such as Kalimantan Coal, Indonesia

    Power & Energy Summit, Macquarie Indonesia Commodities

    Conference, Seminar organised by the Directorate General of

    Taxation and others.

    In this context, Toba Bara also participated actively as the

    Team Chair and Speaker in the dialogue forum between the

    Government and the Indonesian Coal Mine Association to find

    the middle ground in the Indonesian Government’s plan to

    raise the royalty rate of coal production.

    Corporate Governance

    The Board of Directors continued to implement good corporate

    governance (GCG) policies as mandated by the General

    Meeting of Shareholders and capital market regulations with

    respect to publicly listed companies.

    In 2013, the Audit Committee of the Company had fully served

    its functions pursuant to the duties and responsibilities as set

    forth in the Audit Committee Charter. The Report of the Audit

    Committee for the year ending 31 December 2013 is presented

    in this Annual Report starting from page 84.

    Meanwhile, the Board of Commissioners has begun to discuss

    the establishment of the Nomination and Remuneration

    Committee and the Risk Management Oversight Committee to

    assist the oversight duties of the Board of Commissioners in

    overseeing the management of the Company by the Board of

    Directors.

    The Board of Directors continue to ensure that the principles

    of GCG comprising transparency, accountability, responsibility,

    independence, and fairness are constantly upheld by each and

    every person in the Company and the three subsidiary entities.

  • 2013 Annual Report 25

    Report of the President Director

    In addition, the Corporate Secretary Division and Legal

    Division are seeing to it that the Company with all of its rank-

    and-file comply fully with all prevailing laws and regulations

    that are relevant to the Company’s business.

    The Company also continues to enhance corporate social

    responsibility activities, especially those that relate to the

    Company’s sustainable business development and growth.

    Slowly but surely, Toba Bara has begun to implement the

    principles of sustainable development that are grounded upon

    the 3Ps of Profit, People and Planet. Discussions on these

    three “P” that are presented in the context of (i) environmental

    management, (ii) community development, and (iii) product

    responsibility are presented in the Sustainability Program

    section in the discussion on Corporate Governance in this

    Annual Report starting from page 78.

    Human Resources

    The management of human resources (HR) has become an

    increasingly important part of the Company’s activities due

    to the business process transformation undertaken since

    2013 in response to the currently bearish coal market. We

    then made a workforce mapping exercise, along with the

    gap analysis between the job requirement at hand and the

    Company’s available HR capabilities. The outcome of this

    mapping and analysis is then used as the basis to develop the

    HR development policies and the recruitment of employees to

    strengthen the rank-and-file of the Company and its subsidiary

    entities.

  • 2013 Annual Report26

    Report of the President Director

    Justarina S. M. NaiborhuPresident Director

    Prospects in 2014

    The Company believes that conditions in the coal market will

    generally not change much in 2014 compared to those of the

    previous year, although there has been an upward trend in the

    price of coal since the fourth quarter of 2013. We will still have

    to see whether this upward trend reflects market fundamentals

    over the long term or simply a temporary spike in demand

    related to the winter season in the northern hemisphere of

    the globe. But whatever the trending price will be in 2014, the

    Company is ready to face up to any challenge that the market

    may pose.

    Toba Bara has a long-term business plan that centres around

    (i) efforts to increase the exploitation of coal from current coal

    reserves of 147 million tons, (ii) efforts to increase production

    and operating cost efficiencies through various initiatives that

    have proven to work, (iii) efforts to expand markets and the

    number of end-user customers in order to increase market

    share, and (iv) efforts to explore for more coal reserves

    throughout the Company’s vast concession areas that are

    still not prospected, as well as through acquisitions when the

    opportunity arises.

    Based on those efforts, the Company believes that it can

    maintain sustainable growth in 2014 and in the years to come.

    Board of Directors Composition

    In 2013, there was no change in the composition of the Board

    of Directors.

    Closing Statements

    In closing, allow me on behalf of the Board of Directors to

    convey our heartfelt appreciation to shareholders, members

    of the Board of Commissioners and its committee, customers,

    employees, business partners, the central and regional

    governments as well as the people’s representatives, and the

    communities surrounding the Company’s operations. We value

    their support and trust towards Toba Bara. May God bless our

    efforts in the future.

    Gen. (Ret.) Luhut B. Pandjaitan is the founder of PT Toba

    Sejahtra that holds 71.8% shares of PT Toba Bara Sejahtra

    Tbk.

    A retired general of the Indonesian National Army (TNI),

    statesman, former ambassador extraordinary and

    plenipotentiary of the Republic of Indonesia, businessman and

    philanthropist, Luhut B. Pandjaitan devotes all his thoughts and

    efforts to the progress and prosperity of the Indonesian nation

    that he loves.

    As a businessman, his vision is to increase the

    competitiveness of Indonesian businesses in order to compete

    regionally and globally.

    Regionally, the demand for increased competitiveness by

    Indonesia is already upon us with the inauguration of the

    ASEAN Free Trade Market in 2015. Whereas globally,

    Indonesia must improve its industrial strength among the

    leading industrialised countries in the world – the G-20 Group,

    in which as of year-end 2013, Indonesia ranked 13th among

    the world’s largest economies (the World Bank).

    Luhut B. Pandjaitan believes that education is key to increasing

    the competitiveness of a nation. Therefore, he founded the DEL

    Foundation, a non-profit foundation that is actively engaged

    in community development in North Sumatra with a focus on

    education through PI DEL. A leading national university in the

    field of information technology that is accredited by the Ministry

    of Education of the Republic of Indonesia.

    He believes that Indonesia needs to add the value that can be

    derived from the nation’s natural resource riches. Therefore, he

    founded Toba Bara to create added value from the coal-mining

    sector – a leading sector of Indonesia’s.

    “The Social Entrepreneur of the Year” of Ernst & Young Global

    Entrepreneurship Award 2012, Luhut B. Pandjaitan, is keenly

    aware of the significance of the sustainable development

    that is built upon the three pillars of economic performance

    (profit), environmental conservation (planet) and social welfare

    (people). Therefore, he expects Toba Bara to begin harnessing

    the principles of sustainable development in every aspect of its

    business activities.

    Business Strategy

    SustainableLong Term

    Growth

    The Company’s business strategy in maintaining sustainable growth rests upon the coal mining concession locations of the three

    operating subsidiaries that are adjacent to one another. This allows the Company to undertake a collective mine planning on a group-

    wide basis that integrates the mining operations of ABN, IM and TMU. Through this integration strategy, there are many benefits that

    accrue to the Company and the Group, such as joint infrastructure development, the construction of hauling road that cuts through one

    of the subsidiary entity concessions, in addition to cost efficiency that can be derived from an integrated operation.

    To that end, the Company has formulated five strategic steps to support sustainable long term growth, as follows:

    Integration of three

    mines.

    Continue to focus on

    health and safety,

    environmental track

    record and commitment

    to Corporate Social

    Responsibility.

    four years.

    The Coal Industry Sector Facing Declining Pace of Growth

    The pace of growth in the demand for thermal coal continues

    to indicate a slowing trend. A number of energy policies that

    are directed towards lessening the dependency on coal energy

    resources - especially in the largest consuming country, China -

    have contributed to the changing landscape of the coal market

    over the past several years. Ten or even five years ago, it would

    seem that the demand for cheap and readily available coal

    energy resources would never subside. New technology in power

    plants was developed specifically to be able to use thermal

    coal of low-range to medium-range calorific value, enabling the

    consumption of much more coal. The process by which coal is

    produced and made available – from pit to port – was designed

    in the most effective and efficient manner for coal to be shipped

    to its destination quickly and reliably. Environmentally friendly

    technology was invented to reduce the amount of carbon

    emission from the burning of thermal coal.

    But none of these initiatives were enough, it seems, to alleviate

    the pressure that continues to bear down on the coal industry.

    In the past several years, a number of initatives was pursued to

    reduce dependency on coal as an energy source – especially

    from the point of view of health and environmental considerations

    – and to rely more on other energy resources that are deemed

    more environmentally friendly or renewable.

    China has a big opportunity to capitalise more on the technology

    to convert coal into synthetic gas or liquefied fuel. It is estimated

    that the gasification of coal will be the basis for new energy

    sources for China in the next five years.

    Whereas for other markets in Asia aside from China, India

    is expected to still rely on low-calorific to medium-calorific

    grade coal in growing volumes for the foreseeable future – but

    the problem for India is the steep devaluation of the Rupee

    against the US Dollar that has made the cost of coal imports

    prohibitively expensive for India.

    These two developments in China and India have led to

    a decline in the market demand for coal that ultimately

    contributed to the market oversupply and depressed coal

    price. Throughout 2013, the average selling price of coal in

    accordance with the Newcastle Index Price was US$85.3 per

    ton, compared to US$96.9 per ton in 2012 and US$121.2 per

    ton in 2011.

    The year 2013 was full of challenges for the coal-mining sector in Indonesia, as well as for the global coal industry in

    general. The lingering low global coal price index and an oversupply of the coal market in 2013 had forced most of the coal

    players in the world including Indonesia to cut operating costs, reduce workforce, and postpone major capital expenditures

    for large-scale developments. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) in its Medium-Term Coal Market Report

    towards the end of 2013, “the global demand for coal will grow at an average rate of 2.3% per annum until 2018.” This

    estimate is lower than that of the previous year that predicted the average annual growth rate to be 2.6%, and far below the

    actual average annual growth rate between 2007 and 2012, which was 3.4%.

    However, the IEA report also stated that despite the declining trend in the growth of global coal demand, coal will remain to

    be the primary source for the world’s growing energy consumption, more than the use of any other fossil fuel.

    The downward price trend above exerts pressure on coal

    companies to reduce their operating costs in order to maintain

    profitability. Declining coal price also put under pressure on

    coal companies that have invested heavily on the basis of coal

    prices of several years back – when the price of coal was still

    in the range of US$100 per ton.

    Needless to say, the current global coal markets tend to be

    oversupplied, highly competitive, and are also faced with the

    challenges of environmental conservation, forcing every coal

    producer to operate efficiently, effectively and be responsive to

    market expectations.

    Challenges for the Indonesian Coal Industry

    Indonesia has been the largest exporter of thermal coal in

    the world since 2007 when it took over that distinction from

    Australia. In the past five years, Indonesia’s coal production
