LG Electronics (066570 KS) Seasonality fails to lift earnings Technology 2Q15 review: OP of W244.1bn (-60.0% YoY, -20.0% QoQ) LG Electronics (LGE) announced 2Q revenue of W13.93tr (-7.6% YoY, -0.5% QoQ) and Results Comment operating profit of W244.1bn (-60.0% YoY, -20.0% QoQ). Excluding LG Innotek, revenue July 30, 2015 and operating profit were W12.48tr (-7.7% YoY, +0.2% QoQ) and W195.1bn (-62.5% YoY, -17.4% QoQ), respectively, missing our estimates (W13.31tr and W263.3bn) by 6.2% and 25.9%, respectively. The earnings miss was attributable to the weaker-than- (Maintain) Buy expected performance of the home entertainment (HE) and mobile communications (MC) divisions. Target Price (12M, W) 67,000 The HE division remained i n the red for the second straight quarter, with operating loss increasing QoQ to W82.7bn. The deterioration was largely due to 1) the weakness of Share Price (7/29/15, W) 43,800 emerging-market currencies (especially the ruble), 2) unfavorable panel prices, and 3) increased marketing spend amid intense competition. Expected Return 53% The MC division barely broke even, generating operating profit of just W0.2bn, weighed down by the poor sales of the G4. Smartphone shipments fell 8.4% QoQ to 14.1mn OP (15F, Wbn) 1,083 units. Higher marketing spend also negatively affected margins. Consensus OP (15F, Wbn) 1,235 3Q15 preview: OP of W263bn (+7.7% QoQ); HE unit to return to profit EPS Growth (15F, %) 31.8 Market EPS Growth (15F, %) 31.5 For 3Q, we look for revenue of W13.9tr (-5.5% YoY, -0.2% QoQ) and operating profit of P/E (15F, x) 15.0 W263bn (-43.5% YoY, +7.7% QoQ). Excluding LG Innotek, we forecast revenue of Market P/E (15F, x) 11.0 W12.32tr and operating profit of W193.2bn KOSPI 2,037.62 The HE division should return to profitability in 3Q with an OP margin of 1.3%. TV Market Cap (Wbn) 7,168 shipments should recover to the 7mn level on the back of new releases. The F/X Shares Outstanding (mn) 181 environment is also starting to show signs of improvement, and as such, the TV business Free Float (%) 64.7 should gradually pick up. The MC division’s OP margin should slightly improve to 1% in Foreign Ownership (%) 20.9 2Q, helped by marketing spend reductions. Beta (12M) 0.48 52-Week Low 41,150 Reaffirm Buy and TP of W67,000 52-Week High 79,200 We previously argued that, even though a strong earnings recovery is unlikely in the (%)(%)(%) 1M1M1M 6M6M6M 12M12M12M near term, shares will appreciate in 2Q on favorable seasonality. Our call, however, Absolute -7.1 -30.0 -41.2 proved incorrect, as the positive impact of seasonality on the appliance business was Relative -6.1 -33.0 -40.5 more than offset by the weakness of the TV business. 120 LG Electronics KOSPI Despite heading into the off-season, we maintain our Buy rating on LGE, as 1) the stock is trading at a 2015F P/B of only 0.7x, 2) operating profit should improve QoQ , and 3) 100 the outlook for the vehicle components (VC) business look promising (although growth 80 so far has been underwhelming). 60 We keep our target price of W67,000, which equals 0.97x our 12-month forward BPS of 40 7.14 11.14 3.15 7.15 W68,883.

Hanwha Techwin (012450 KS) Easing uncertainties vs. weak earnings Technology 2Q15 review: Operating loss of W79.2bn; Minus one-off, OP of W6.8bn For 2Q, Hanwha Techwin posted revenue of W607.2bn (-16.1% YoY, +0.8% QoQ) and an Results Comment operating loss of W79.2bn (turning to red YoY and QoQ). Revenue missed our estimate July 30, 2015 (W642.5bn) by 5.5%, while the operating figure was far worse than our expectation (operating profit of W12.6bn). However, stripping away a one-off W86bn employee compensation package, actual operating profit was W6.8bn. (Maintain) Buy The Security Solutions (SS; CCTVs) and Intelligent Machinery & Solutions (IMS; high- speed chip mounters) divisions both performed poorly, with revenue declining QoQ and Target Price (12M, W) 44,000 YoY. We believe this was due to business interruptions caused by the company’s ownership transition to Hanwha Group. We estimate both units suffered losses as a Share Price (07/29/15, W) 35,700 result of revenue contraction. Expected Return 23% Looking forward to 3Q, we forecast revenue of W613.9bn (+1.5% YoY, +1.1% QoQ) and operating profit of W4.7bn (-9.8% YoY, turning to profit QoQ). We believe upside to earnings will remain limited for some time, as 1) we expect the SS and IMS divisions to OP (15F, Wbn) -50 continue to be affected by the ownership transition, and 2) the outlooks for the power Consensus OP (15F, Wbn) -2 systems and defense divisions remain challenging. EPS Growth (15F, %) - Earnings unlikely to sharply pick up, but uncertainties are easing Market EPS Growth (15F, %) 31.5 P/E (15F, x) 2,308.5 The confusion sparked by the ownership change is likely to delay the company’s business Market P/E (15F, x) 11.0 normalization. However, we highlight that uncertainties are starting to dissipate. The KOSPI 2,037.62 employee compensation issue is now resolved, and Hanwha Group has said that it has no intention of further restructuring.
