Investment thesis ƒ We initiate coverage on TCL Communication (TCL) with an Outperform rating and target price of HK$8.90/sh. ƒ TCL is evolving from a legacy 2G low-end handset manufacturer to a 2G/3G smartphone manufacturer in the low to mid-end range. The vast majority of its volumes go overseas (over 90%), with only a small proportion remaining in . TCL is increasing capacity, with current capacity of 65m units increasing to 75m by end 2011 (+15%) and plans underway for a new factory that will see this rise to 130m units. ƒ At MWC 2011, TCL introduced its new Alcatel One Touch brand that is designed for easy use with a variety of different features targeted at attractive pricing points. TCL markets this as “Alcatel One Touch makes to today’s mobile lifestyle simple by offering colorful, easy-to-use devices equipped with the technology people need most at prices they can afford”. The new product line up is grouped into five different ranges (Get Apps, Just Add Friends, Keep In Touch, Simply You, Speed It Up). ƒ This is a change from the company’s legacy product focus that was 2G based (and an ODM operation that was also largely low end). The focus going forward is on introducing 3G handsets into the product mix and in the ODM business, trying to change the products manufactured to slightly less low-end handsets. We believe that TCL’s mix will remain dominated by 2G but the introduction of 3G into the mix within the Alcatel/TCL business and better (higher value) product in the ODM business will help TCL temper the extent of ASP erosion. Can a move to a 3G product strategy be successful? ƒ Other handset vendors that have adopted similar strategies (ie. trying to upsell product range from low- to mid-end) have had limited success in improving ASP to date due to the general price deflation trends in the handset business. A notable example is ZTE’s (763 HK, HK$26.7, UP, TP HK$27.00) terminal business that has also increased its smartphone mix but has yet to see an improvement in ASP. We believe ZTE and (unlisted) are competitors to TCL in the emerging market handset segment, however we see TCL succeeding in increasing its ASP where ZTE has failed, as we believe that in order for ZTE and Huawei to secure volumes in these markets where it lacks brand presence, these companies will have to necessarily price their white label handsets more aggressively. ƒ Our forecasts for TCL factor in ASP increases of 6% but a decline of 4% in FY11 and FY12, respectively. We believe ASP increases are likely, driven by: ⇒ Change in sales mix from no 3G handsets in 2010 to 5m in FY11E that should help blended ASP, with our forecast for 3G ASP at HK$750 (approx US$96). Our forecasts see a 17% decline in 2G ASP in FY11E. The uplift from 3G volumes (10% of total volumes) and ASP should offset the price decline on the 2G side. ⇒ Moving to low/mid-end ODM (from super low-end). Our forecasts see an average ASP for ODM units in FY11E of HK$85 (US$11) vs HK$70 (US$9) in FY10. This should also help PRC ASP.

ƒ Compared with other handsets, we find that TCL’s smartphone handsets stack up reasonably well (in the absence of more pricing detail). For the upcoming launch of the OT-990, this appears to be very much targeted at the low-cost smartphone segment. Looking across other vendors with similar offerings, we find these handsets all run on Android 2.2 with the same CPU speed (600MHz) and same camera resolution (with Samsung Galaxy Mini lower resolution at 3MP) but TCL has a slightly larger screen at 3.5” vs 3.1-3.2” from other vendors.

Key markets ƒ TCL’s key markets are Latin America (now classified as “Americas”) and Europe (“EMEA”). Gartner forecasts LatAm shipments to grow by 9% and 6% in FY11 and FY12, respectively, with shipments to Europe growing by 6% over this time. ƒ Market share.

ƒ Quality. TCL has a low fault/return rate of 0.3-0.4% versus industry average 1-2%. ƒ Embedded features. TCL has embedded features/functionality into its phones to enhance user experience. This is part of its product diversification and its five different handset ranges (Get Apps, Just Add Friends, Keep in Touch, Simply You, Speed It Up). For example, some phones shipped to China have QQ and Weibo pre-installed. ƒ Product strategy. TCL has a “Step-up” product strategy. This builds on its legacy history of entry level handsets and tries to lever this by focussing on design and innovation of mid-end products.

Overseas handset manufacturer ƒ TCL’s shipments are predominantly destined for overseas (ex-PRC) markets, with particular strength in EMEA and Americas (including South America), a result of its legacy Alcatel JV. ƒ Growth was strongest in EMEA and Asia Pacific (APAC) in FY10, with Americas now accounting for over 50% of total shipments, driven by Latin America. ƒ We view TCL as an emerging market vendor given the dominance of 2G in its handset mix. ƒ As these markets are predominantly 2G markets, with the focus being low- and mid-end phones over high-end/smartphones, we believe these markets are slightly less competitive vs mature markets, which is a positive for ZTE.

Increasing production capacity ƒ The company has plans to double existing production capacity (65m). This will be done in phases, with capacity to increase to 75m by end FY11E (+15%), 100m by FY12E and 130m by FY13E/early 2014 at a total cost of HK$900m. ƒ TCL has been increasing shipment volumes significantly, with 1Q11 volumes up 51% on 1Q10.

TDR issue delayed ƒ In December 2010, the Board of TCL approved a proposed TDR issue of up to 20% new shares. The Board believes that the TDR is the most appropriate method of raising additional funds for future business development and intends to use the proceeds to increase production capacity. This makes sense in light of TCL’s high gearing (see below) however we believe this has now been delayed and our forecasts do not incorporate this.

31 May 2011 8 Macquarie Research TCL Communication Technology

Balance sheet ƒ TCL is highly geared with ND/E of 230% (ND/share HK$4.69). The company geared up significantly in 2010 (approx. additional HK$5bn) through secured bank borrowings (secured against time deposits). The interest rate on these varied between 0.86-3.51%. Approximately HK$2.36bn is denominated in Rmb, with the remainder in US$. ƒ We forecast TCL will be FCF positive in FY11 (FCF HK$100m). FX risk ƒ As more than 90% of TCL’s shipments are overseas (ex China), the company is exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations (mainly £, € and Rmb). The company manages this through FX hedging instruments.

Company profile Strong Global Presence TCL Communication (“TCL” or “the company”) is the handset arm of TCL Corporation (with 47% ownership), one of China’s largest electronics producers. TCL is a handset manufacturer. The majority of its products are shipped overseas, with a focus on Latin America and EMEA. The company operates under two brand names, TCL (PRC market) and Alcatel (overseas market). Headquartered in , TCL has its manufacturing facility located in Huizhou. It also runs 65 repair centers and over 50 offices worldwide. TCL has set up R&D centers in Huizhou, Shanghai and Shenzhen. The company spends about 4% of sales in R&D, however, this number is relatively low compared to other handset manufacturers such as Nokia (12% on average), and its major competitor ZTE (10% on average). This is likely to be a product of its legacy strength in producing 2G handsets. The focus has changed recently, with TCL now delivering GSM, GPRS, EDGE, CDMA to WCDMA and TD-SCDMA. It now owns 2G, 2., 2.75G and 3G patents. Expansion in the mid- and high-end segments Historically, TCL was a player in the entry- to mid-level handset market. The focus is now shifting to the mid- to high-end market (smartphones). The Alcatel One Touch brand was introduced at MWC 2011. Within this new brand, there are five ranges of smartphones: ⇒ Get Apps: pre-embedded with ready to use apps (Android) ⇒ Just Add Friends: for active messaging and social networking, these handsets have a full keyboard ⇒ Keep in Touch: a shortcut to social networks with widgets for updates ⇒ Simply You: for talk/text ⇒ Speed it Up: with internet keys for connectivity.

Alcatel brand name through legacy JV with Alcatel In 2004, TCL set up a Joint-Venture with Alcatel under the name “TCL & Phones” (TAMP), which absorbed the business of Alcatel. Initially, TCL owned 55% of the equity stake and Alcatel owned the remaining 45%. One year later, TCL bought the stake from Alcatel. This gives TCL the right to use the Alcatel brand names for manufacturing, distributing and sales via TAMP for 20 years. TCL also acquired the 2G/2.5G patents of Alcatel through the acquisition.
