Based on our channel checks and data already released for Jul-Aug [email protected] S0980510120027 2012, 3Q sales volume of various sub-sectors was in line with expectations, and the profitability of the TV sub-sector slightly beat expectations. The subsidies for energy efficient home-appliance products introduced in June are unlikely to materially boost sales until three to six months after their launch. We expect the 4Q y-o-y sales Sales Contact volume growth of air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines and LCD TVs will be 7.5%, 5.8%, 5.0% and 0.8% respectively, representing a modest rebound from the Roger Chiman Managing Director first three quarters. +852 2248 3598 [email protected] Divergence within the sector intensifies, and we suggest waiting for buying Chris Berney opportunities amid price pullbacks.

  • Conflict Minerals Report for 2019, We Have Completed Our Analysis of The
    Conflict Minerals Report For 2019, we have completed our analysis of the suppliers for Amazon electronic devices, fashion and apparel, and other consumer products that fall within the scope of the applicable rules (collectively, in-scope products). A majority of these suppliers certified that they: did not use gold, tin, tungsten, or tantalum in parts or components for our in-scope products; did not source these minerals from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country, referred to as the DRC region; or sourced these minerals from a smelter or refiner that complies with a responsible mineral sourcing validation program such as the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process. The remaining suppliers are still completing investigations of their supply chains. As discussed in the Conclusion, for 2019, we identified no suppliers that were sourcing minerals through a supply chain that benefitted armed groups in the DRC region. Pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s conflict minerals rules, we designed our due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the gold, tin, tungsten, and tantalum in our in-scope products in accordance with the OECD’s Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas Third Edition, and the related Supplements on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten and on Gold. We undertook the steps described below as part of our due diligence process: Establish strong company management systems We are committed to avoiding the use of minerals that have fueled conflict, and we expect our suppliers to support our efforts to identify the origin of gold, tin, tungsten, and tantalum used in products that we manufacture or contract to manufacture.
