Asia Hardware Sector Research Analysts STRATEGY Thompson Wu 886 2 2715 6386 Thompson.Wu@Credit-Suisse.Com ODM/EMS Outlook: Cloud with a Side of Apple 19 January 2015 Asia Pacific/Taiwan Equity Research IT Hardware (Technology - PC TW (Asia)/Technology - Hardware HK (Asia)) Asia Hardware Sector Research Analysts STRATEGY Thompson Wu 886 2 2715 6386 [email protected] ODM/EMS outlook: Cloud with a side of Apple Figure 1: ODM 2015 sales exposure by Apple, PC, and Enterprise/Cloud % 2015 sales: Figure in column chart represents YoY sales change % of sales 100% --14% YoY +14% YoY +2% YoY 90% +14% YoY +12% YoY +64% YoY +2% YoY 80% -3%YoY 70% +1% YoY +15% YoY -2.5% YoY 60% +8% YoY 50% -1% YoY +0% YoY +0.4% YoY 40% 30% +35% YoY +5% YoY 20% +6% YoY 10% +141% YoY +404% YoY 0% Hon Hai Quanta (1) Pegatron (2) Compal Wistron (3) Apple NB/DT Enterprise/Cloud Other Note: (1) Enterprise/Cloud excludes tablets; (2) Apple sales excludes Casetek); (3) Apple sales excludes LCD assembly, which we included into other sales. Source: Credit Suisse estimates ■ Focus on enterprise stories as consumer product cycles slow. We believe the ODM direct (white-box) server and storage business is the most attractive longer-term profit pool for the ODM/EMS sector. ODM direct vendors have stripped from traditional OEMs >US$26 bn in sales during 2008-3Q14; 2014 growth is still topping 39% YoY. The sector plans to market its white-box solutions to large enterprises, but we expect traction to be slow. Windows Server 2003 support expiration is a growth sweetener. ■ Apple diversification an overhang, but PC demand stabilises. Apple is shifting its iPhone orders in 2015, but 215 mn units (+16% YoY) with better ASP can lift Apple sales for all suppliers. Our forecast for flattish PC units implies notebook ODMs will see their PC businesses stabilise. ■ Hon Hai (OUTPERFORM) is our ODM/EMS top pick. We believe the market is overly cautious on Apple's diversification and the resultant impact on Hon Hai and under-appreciates Hon Hai's data-center business. We see earnings risk at Quanta (UNDERPERFORM) due to overly hyped Cloud expectations. Pegatron's (NEUTRAL) share price already reflects a bullish outlook and we see limited scope for earning upgrades. We expect Compal (OUTPERFORM) to have a profitable ramp up of iPad Mini, although Wistron (NEUTRAL) has the most potential earnings upside, if it can ramp up iPhone efficiently.

This article looks into the development of the Foxconn Corporation to understand the advent of capi- tal expansion and its impact on frontline workers’ lives in China. It also pro- vides an account of how the state facilitates Foxconn’s production expansion as a form of monopoly capital. Foxconn stands out as a new phenomenon of capital expansion because of the incomparable speed and scale of its capital accumulation in all regions of China. This article explores how the workers at Foxconn, the world’s largest electronics manufacturer, have been subjected to work pressure and desperation that might lead to suicides on the one hand but also open up daily and collective resistance on the other hand.

  • The Electronic Manufacturing Service (EMS) Industry in 2014
    The Electronic Manufacturing Service Ericsson, routers for Cisco, and printers for HP. Cal- 1 (EMS) Industry in 2014 Comp Electronics (based in Thailand) produces components for HP printers and other products. Celestica (based in Canada, where it was spun off by IBM in 1994), meanwhile, produces sub-assemblies for Cisco’s internet and intranet devices, as well as products for customers such as HP, IBM, and NEC (until 2012, Celestica also was one of the producers of the Blackberry smartphone, for which Foxconn is now taking the lead in design and assembly). Each of these EMS providers has plants around the world, well beyond their home countries. EMS are similar to ODMs (Original Design Manufacturers), with a key difference that EMS providers traditionally did not take ownership of intellectual property, while ODM firms (many of EMS services at Celestica solar panel lab (Canada) which – such as Pegatron, Compal, Wistron, and Photo: Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press Quanta – originated in Taiwan) often retain at least partial IP ownership of the products they design for an OEM. Hence, ODMs historically were stronger at product design capabilities than most EMS providers. However, the line between the two types of service organizations is rapidly blurring and the same companies can act as both ODM and EMS providers. Pegatron, for instance, is one of the EMS producers of the iPhone, while Foxconn has taken on ODM- type responsibility for Blackberry. The boundaries of the EMS market are dynamic, so that measuring market size is ambiguous. However, an estimate by the “Research and Markets” industry analysts is that total electronics assembly exceeded $1 trillion in 2013 and will grow to about $1.5 trillion iPhone assembly at a Foxxcon facility in China in 2017.

Given demand for chip bonders and integrated SMT SPIL thinner and lighter form factors, OEMs placement platforms that combine die- 36.1% JCET increasingly require design flexibility bonding and chip-mounting functions. PTI ChipMOS and faster time to market, as well as This combined IC packaging and 14.0% more flexible and integrated assembly SMT workflow is being used in the Chipbond processes that lower costs. production of FCIP-related SiPs, THT Tongfu Apple is just one of the brands including DRAM and MEMS, as well Carsem 1.2% 9.4% aggressively looking to embrace such as embedded devices. Therefore, Others 2.4% modularization.

  • Supplier Clean Energy 2021 Program Update FINAL
    Supplier Clean Energy 2021 Program Update Apple is committed to addressing climate change and increasing the use of renewable energy around the world. We started by transitioning to renewable energy at our own facilities and after a decade of work, we reached 100 percent renewable energy in 2018. Along the way, we launched the Supplier Clean Energy Program in 2015 to advance clean energy through our manufacturing supply chain. And in 2020, we reached our initial goal—to bring online 4 gigawatts of clean energy into our supply chain. Building on this progress, we unveiled our most ambitious plan to date: to achieve carbon neutrality across our supply chain and in our product lifecycle by 2030. This goal places us 20 years ahead of the recommendations put forward by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change calling for carbon neutrality as a planet by 2050. To reach this target, we are working with suppliers to transition our entire manufacturing supply chain—including material extraction, component manufacturing, and final product assembly—to 100 percent renewable electricity. Supplier Clean Energy Program The Supplier Clean Energy Program is integral to Apple’s goal of reaching carbon neutrality by 2030. Nearly 100% half of our comprehensive carbon footprint comes from the electricity used to manufacture our products. supply chain We’re focused on increasing energy efficiency at supplier facilities and transitioning suppliers to clean, clean energy by 2030 renewable electricity. These efforts are helping to reduce product-related carbon emissions, create a more resilient supply chain, and contribute to healthier communities—while also paving the way for others to follow.
