Shares Still Undervalued, BRI Continues Its Share Buyback Program
PR98062
JAKARTA, Indonesia, Sept. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. (IDX: BBRI) is currently conducting a
share buyback program worth IDR 3 trillion. Through the Annual General Meeting
of Shareholders, BRI received shareholders' approval to carry out the program
within 18 months from 1 March 2022 to 31 August 2023.
Head of Research Mirae Sekuritas Indonesia Hariyanto Wijaya revealed the
buyback program shows management's belief that the current share price is still
undervalued. However, Hariyanto Wijaya, and Mirae Asset Sekuritas Analyst
Jennifer A. Harjono are positive the performance of the financial sector will
remain strong amid rising fuel prices as supported by the increasing credit
growth. With the increase in interest rates and BRI tightening its monetary
policy, Mirae Asset Sekuritas estimated that BRI's net interest margin will
increase.
"The purpose of the share buyback program is to boost BRI employees'
performance through the Employee Stock Allocation (ESA) or Employee Stock
Option Plan (ESOP)," explained BRI Finance Director Viviana Dyah Ayu at the
Indonesia Stock Exchange's Public Expose Live event on 14 September 2022.
On the same occasion, BRI President Director Sunarso explained, "BRI's
management policy was to do the share buyback program to improve the quality of
employees, their competencies, and engagement with the company. BRILian
personnel who can provide the best value to the company will receive a bonus."
The bonuses take the form of three things: cash, individual investment to
improve competence and capability through quality training and education and
share ownership. Furthermore, the ESOP bonus is also given because the current
portion of BRI shares owned by employees is still less than 1%.
BRI provides non-cash incentives to further increase employee motivation, which
in turn will improve the company's performance sustainably. "We will continue
to do the share buyback program to give long-term incentive treasury stocks for
all BRI employees," added Viviana.
The mindset of BRILian People is expected to lead to the same goal towards the
company's vision. BRI aims to become The Most Valuable Banking Group in
Southeast Asia and Champion of Financial Inclusion by 2025.
"We will continue to do the share buyback program so that our employees are
more engaged, more competent, more competitive, and provide more value for the
company," concluded Sunarso.
