INTRODUCTION The following report has been prepared by Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. (KMA) for the City of Cupertino under contract with Apple Inc. The report addresses the economic and fiscal impacts generated by Apple’s presence in Cupertino, both currently and upon the completion of Apple Campus 2. The principal objectives of the analysis are to evaluate the following: . The on-going economic impact and benefits of Apple to the City of Cupertino; . The ongoing economic impacts and benefits to the City of Santa Clara, City of Sunnyvale, and the broader region of Santa Clara County; . Apple’s recurring annual fiscal impacts on the City of Cupertino; . The construction-related impacts of Apple Campus 2 on Santa Clara County; and . The construction-related tax and fee revenues to be received by the City of Cupertino and other local public agencies from the construction of Apple Campus 2. A. Apple’s Current Facilities in Cupertino and the Apple Campus 2 Building Program Apple Inc.’s worldwide corporate headquarters facility, which is known as the Infinite Loop Campus, is located at 1 Infinite Loop in the City of Cupertino. The 856,000 square foot campus houses approximately 3,000 employees. In order to accommodate its 13,000 additional employees based in Cupertino, Apple has had to purchase or lease more than 2 million square feet of additional space in Cupertino and in nearby cities. Apple has been assembling properties for the purpose of building a second campus over several years, including the 100-acre property that formerly served as the headquarters of Hewlett Packard. The aggregate development site for Apple Campus 2 approximates 176 acres and is shown on the following map. Keyser Marston Associates, Inc.

Tantau Avenue N. Tantau Interstate 280 N. Wolfe Road N. Wolfe Stevens Creek Boulevard Stevens Creek Boulevard EXISTING APPLE INFINITE LOOP CAMPUS PROPOSED APPLE CAMPUS 2 Apple presented its most recently updated plans for Apple Campus 2 in April 2013. The campus’ centerpiece will be an iconic circular office building that will accommodate up to 12,000 employees. The building will be four-stories in height and total 2.8 million square feet. Additional Apple Campus 2 Phase 1 facilities include an auditorium, fitness center, parking structures, buildings to house research and development and a central plant. The capacity of Phase 1 will be 13,000 employees. A breakdown of the planned improvements for Phase 1, excluding the parking structures, is as follows: Phase 1 Apple Campus 2 Building Area Main Building 2,820,000 sf Auditorium 120,000 sf Fitness Center 100,000 sf Research Facilities 300,000 sf Central Plant 80,000 sf Total GBA 3,420,000 sf There is a Phase 2 building program, which would add about 300,000 square feet and accommodate up to 1,200 employees, bringing the total capacity of Apple Campus 2 to 14,200 employees. Since the timing of that Phase is uncertain, it has not been included in this analysis. In order to build Apple Campus 2, the existing 2.65 million square feet of office buildings and related improvements on the property will be demolished. The footprint of the new building program will be significantly smaller, permitting extensive on-site open space. B. Growth Scenario Evaluated in the Fiscal and Economic Report Apple has experienced extraordinary success and growth by any standard. The company’s net sales increased more than six-fold between 2006 and 2012, from $24.6 billion to $156.6 billion, with an average annual growth rate in excess of 36%. Apple is among the largest publicly traded companies in the world by market capitalization and is one of the largest technology companies in the world by revenue and profit. The number of Apple employees based in Cupertino has increased at an average annual rate of 18% over the past five years. For purposes of this analysis, however, a more conservative growth rate of 10% is being used. With a 10% annual growth rate, 7,400 employees will be hired between June 2013 and the completion of Apple Campus 2 in 2016, resulting in a projected total employee count of 23,400.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY With net annual sales in excess of $156 billion, 16,000 employees currently based in the Cupertino area, and annual purchases from local Silicon Valley-based businesses of $4.6 billion, Apple is a cornerstone of the Silicon Valley economy and of the fiscal resources of the City of Cupertino. The completion of Apple Campus 2 is vital to the region for a number of reasons. It will: 1) enable Apple to continue to remain in Cupertino; 2) enable Apple to add an estimated 7,400 new high-quality jobs; 3) increase revenues of local businesses and support additional job growth throughout the region; and 4) enhance tax revenues to the City of Cupertino and other cities and public agencies. A. Full-Time Jobs Apple is the second largest technology employer in Silicon Valley, with approximately 16,000 full-time employees based in the Cupertino area. Approximately 12,100 additional jobs in Santa Clara County are generated indirectly through expenditures by Apple and Apple employees. By the time Apple Campus 2 is available for occupancy in 2016, it is expected that 7,400 new Apple employees will be based in the Cupertino area. The total number of Santa Clara County- wide jobs supported by Apple is expected to be about 41,100.
