ASIA EX-JAPAN IT HARDWARE Initiating Coverage: Ultrabooks And

EQUITY RESEARCH 6 October 2011

INITIATING COVERAGE ASIA EX-JAPAN IT HARDWARE Asia ex-Japan IT Hardware Initiating coverage: Ultrabooks and tablets 2-NEUTRAL Unchanged creating opportunities for some suppliers For a full list of our ratings, price targets and We initiate on three IT hardware suppliers – Foxconn Tech (FTC), Shin Zu Shing (SZS) earnings in this report, please see table on page 2 and Ju Teng – all No. 1 in their sub-segments of notebook casings and hinges: We expect FTC (2354 TT, 1-OW, PT NT$120) to benefit from a 3-year upcycle for metal Asia ex-Japan IT Hardware casings and SZS (3376 TT, 2-EW, PT NT$58) to profit on the likely adoption of hollow- Allen Chang type hinges in ultra-thin NBs. However, we believe Ju Teng (3336 HK, 3-UW, PT HK$1.20) +8862 663 84695 will suffer near term from the cannibalization of NBs with plastic casings until it can fully [email protected] offer metal casings. We maintain our 2-Neutral view on the Asia ex-Japan IT Hardware BCSTW, Taiwan sector with FTC, Simplo, Cheng Uei, Acer and Lenovo our top picks. Kirk Yang Tablets/ultrabooks appear the way forward: Most importantly, we view FTC, SZS and Ju +852 290 34635 Teng as important winners and losers – along with polymer battery makers Simplo [email protected] (1-OW, PT NT$290) and Dynapack (2-EW, NT$130) – in the current migration from Barclays Bank, Hong Kong conventional NBs with plastic casings to tablet/ultrabooks with metal casings.

Sleek and stylish but with an acceptable ASP of US$699: The ultrabooks are poised for launch in 2H11 and 2012 – priced similarly to NBs, yet even more stylish and more affordable than Apple’s MacBook Air/Pro – will likely not create a new NB segment, but rather help to sustain and improve the market for conventional NBs by enhancing the product’s differentiation from tablets and smartphones. For our detailed proprietary analysis of the cost breakdown and margins for ultrabooks with various configurations see p9, Fig 5). Metal casings are becoming the norm for three reasons: 1) durability – thinner products require a stronger shell; 2) style – consumer electronics are now viewed more as accessories rather than simply portable computing devices; 3) eco-friendliness – metal casings are recyclable and their production low polluting. FTC should remain the leader in metal casings in 2012: In terms of capacity and appealing prices, FTC should remain the preferred metal casing provider for tablets/ultrabooks in the near term. Moreover, we believe FTC still has ample opportunity to expand its sales further given its first-mover advantage, position as the sole supplier for iPads/iPhones and the robust market for ultrabooks that we forecast. SZS’s thin and higher-end (hollow type) hinges for the MacBook Air/Pro and possibly for ultrabooks should ease any impact from tablet cannibalization of NBs. Ju Teng is working to catch up in the metal casings, but will likely not be competitive until 2013.

INVESTMENT SUMMARY

Until this year, metal casings had We initiate coverage of three IT hardware suppliers – Foxconn Tech (1-OW, PT NT$120), been a niche segment within the Shin Zu Shing (2-EW, PT NT$58) and Ju Teng (3-UW, PT HK$1.20). All three companies are supply chain, requiring both important players in the notebook supply chain, each ranked No. 1 in their respective sub- sufficient capacity and a high segments. However, we also see them as key players in the current migration from yield rates for suppliers to be conventional NBs with plastic casings to tablet/ultrabooks with metal casings. Other key profitable; however, we see 2011 companies with exposure to the strong growth expected in tablets/ultrabooks are the as the beginning of a 3-year polymer battery makers Simplo(1-OW, PT NT$290) and Dynapack (2-EW, NT$130). upcycle for metal casings as they We maintain our 2-Neutral stance on the Asia ex-Japan IT Hardware sector. Our top 1-OW become the mainstream picks among the 22 stocks we cover are FTC (2354.TT), Simplo (6121.TT), Cheng Uei packaging material (2392.TT), Acer (2353.TT) and Lenovo (0992.HK) for EPS growth in 2012E.

Thin-and-light concept to drive product evolution

We expect FTC to benefit most We reiterate our view that the thin-and-light concept will drive product design trends – such from the expected upsurge in as that for tablets (the iPad in particular), ultra-thin type NBs (MacBook Air/Pro), ultrabooks metal casings, as it should (for most of the other top-tier brand PC makers) and mid- to high-end smartphones remain the leader in the segment (iPhone in particular). For these devices, the product must satisfy three requirements: for 2012 and have ample 1) durability – thinner products require a stronger shell; 2) style – consumer electronics are opportunity to expand because now viewed more as accessories rather than simply portable computing devices; of the following: 3) eco-friendliness – metal casings are recyclable and their production low polluting. 1) its first-mover advantage; 2) its position as the sole supplier for the iPad and iPhone; Implications of tablet PCs and ultrabooks – the component and 3) its potential to gain from winners reshuffle the expected boom in ultrabooks With the maturing concepts of thin-and-light like products and cloud computing (lower overall dependency on hardware specifications and a higher reliance on applications/software), the winners among the component suppliers are being reshuffled. We believe there are three key tablet/ultrabook components that determine the winners:

Metal casings: These make the device both more stylish and durable for thin-type NBs. FTC (2354.TT) has the most to benefit, in our view.

Polymer batteries: This is the must-have component to avoid thickness issues; Simplo (6121.TT) and Dynapack (3211.TT) appear well positioned.

Hollow-type hinges: These are the best-to-use component to significantly reduce thickness; SZS (3376.TT) should be the main beneficiary.

Strong sales of iPhone and iPad driving demand for metal casings

Apple (1-OW; PT US$555) For 2011-12E, we prefer stocks strongly associated with Apple products, tablets and thin-and- Covered by Ben Reitzes light NBs. According to our US IT hardware analyst, Ben Reitzes, Apple will ship 39mn iPad units in 2011 and 49mn in 2012. Including non-Apple tablets, Ben estimates total shipment Ben believes Apple will continue volumes for tables at 63mn for 2011E and 79mn for 2012E. Ben’s y/y growth rate forecasts of to extract more profit from 26% for 2012 and 20% for 2013E are far above the forecasts of single-digit growth rates for competitors in key growth the PC industry overall near term. We believe FTC, as the main supplier of metal casings for categories Apple products (including iPhones/iPads/iMacs) is set to benefit from this expected growth.

Ben rates Apple as 1-OW with a 12-month PT of US$555 amid his 1-Positive view on the US IT Hardware sector. He believes Apple will continue to extract more profit from competitors in key growth categories.

Valuations

We base our 12-month price targets for FTC, SZA and Ju Teng on P/E. The P/E multiples we use are in line with historical average forward P/Es for each company (see the 12-month forward P/E charts in each company section of this report). For FTC, we use 13x (historical P/E for 2007-11E was 10-40x with an average of 13.5x for 2009-11E) applied to our 2012E EPS of NT$9.23 for a price target of NT$120. For SZS, we use 12x (normal trading cycle (10- 24x) of 12x) applied to our 2012E EPS of NT$4.85 for a price target of NT$58. For Ju Teng, we use 5x applied to our 2012E EPS of HK$0.24 (normal trading cycle (2-10x) of 6x) for a price target of HK$1.20.

Risks

The key risks on an industry and macro level that could prevent our price targets from being achieved, in our view, include: 1) lower-than-expected demand for tablets, Apple products and ultrabooks; 2) any unexpected change in the material cycle; and 3) a new impactful competitor coming along and taking significant market share. All three scenarios would cause major concerns for us regarding our valuations and assumptions for growth momentum in 2012. However, we believe that all three are highly unlikely to occur.

ULTRABOOKS AND THIN-TYPE NOTEBOOKS: DRIVING GROWTH IN NOTEBOOK PCS

We reiterate our forecast for sales growth of 48% y/y for tablet PCs and 180% for thin- type notebooks (from 14mn in 2011E to 40mn units in 2012E), which we expect to account for 10-20% of total NB shipments in 2012, up from 6% for 2011E (please refer to our 19 July report “Initiate coverage of Simplo and Dynapack: leaders of the pack” [click here]). We believe ultrabooks and thin-type NBs – the MacBook Air/Pro and the up-and- coming thin-type NBs of 17-21mm – will be the key trend in the coming years in the fast- growing NB product segment.

Key components for tablet PCs and ultrabooks

Metal casings: These make devices both more stylish and durable for thin-type NBs.

Polymer batteries: This is the must-have component to avoid thickness issues.

Hollow-type hinges: These are the best-to-use component to significantly reduce thickness.

Just what is a thin-and-light NB?

We see thin-and-light NBs as not When we refer to thin-and-light NBs, we mean: 1) ultrabooks – the term originally coined by a new segment to compete with Intel to describe NBs with a thickness of 18mm or less; 2) products such as Apple’s standard NBs but an improved MacBook Air and MacBook Pro; and 3) other extremely thin NBs that usually use polymer version of standard NBs given batteries for their thin-and-light form factor. (Please see Appendix II, p55 for our matrix on their similar pricing range NB, desktop and tablet PCs.)

Most top-tier brand PC makers appear to be developing thin-and-light NBs (eg, ultrabooks) for shipment starting from September 2011 and early 2012E (as Acer did in September). These thin-and-light NBs are gaining popularity through innovation and development, mainly because of the following: 1) durability – thinner products require a stronger shell; 2) style – consumer electronics are now viewed more as accessories rather than simply portable computing devices; 3) eco-friendliness – metal casings are recyclable and their production low polluting.

Our proprietary analysis Is this just another netbook-like story – a new segment that was created, yet failed to indicates an ASP of US$699 is keep growing? We believe this isn’t the case. Ultrabooks and thin-and-light NBs are not at achievable. all like netbooks (low-end, low quality and low ASPs) or CULV (consumer ultra low voltage) laptops, which had disappointing hardware performances. In fact, we believe they represent not a low-end product but an improved segment, which we expect to help sustain NB demand. We see thin-and-light NBs as not a new segment to compete with standard NBs but an improved version of standard NBs given their similar pricing range.

What impact/concept do tablet PCs (iPad in particular) bring us? 1) A lower dependency on hardware specs – as a result of maturing applications and various cloud-concept applications; 2) portability – tablets enlighten consumers how thin and light a computing device can be, thus, the thin-and-light trend will likely be a key attribute to ensure sales; 3) stylish design – the computing device is no longer just a PC, but more like an accessory we use in our daily work and life; and 4) more affordable ASPs.

Our proprietary analysis indicates an ASP of US$699 is achievable (Figure 5). Hardware specs are being simplified but still allow for normal usage. Near term, we do not expect any additional increases in the bill of materials (BOM). Please refer to Figure 5 for details of our BOM analysis for ultrabooks.

METAL CASINGS: THE LATEST 3-YEAR CYCLE TREND FOR PACKAGING MATERIALS

The advantages of metal casings

Every 3-5 years, there has been a migration of notebook casing material. We see 2011 as the beginning of the three-year metal-casing wave. The adoption rate of metal casings has risen significantly since 2010, as Figure 6 demonstrates, driven by the shift to tablets and ultrabooks. We expect demand for metal casings to continue to grow until at least 2013 because of the advantages they provide – durability, style and eco-friendliness. We believe that FTC will continue to benefit the most from the metal casings boom in the next few years.

Metal casings offer three key Metal casings are becoming the norm for three reasons: 1) durability – thinner products advantages: require a strong material to house their hardware, especially for larger products such as NBs 1) durability for thinner products; and tablets; 2) style – consumer electronics are now viewed more as accessories rather than 2) stylish design; and, simply portable computing devices; and 3) eco-friendliness – metal casing are recyclable 3) eco-friendliness and their production lower polluting.

FTC – beneficiary of the metal casings trend and still the leader in 2012… We expect FTC to benefit most from shift to metal casings as it should remain the leader in the segment for 2012 and have ample opportunity to expand further because of the following: 1) its first-mover advantage; 2) its position as the sole supplier for the iPad and iPhone; and 3) the potential to gain from the expected boom in ultrabooks.

… but Ju Teng is catching up Ju Teng is the leader in plastic casings, but it is working to catch up with its comprehensive peers in terms of metal casing capacity. However, we do not expect it to catch up until 2013 at the earliest. Until then, it will likely continue to suffer from the cannibalization of plastic casings by metal casings.

What lies ahead for casings?

The preferred material of the next 3-year material cycle is anyone’s guess. Possibilities include carbon, bamboo, glass, ceramics or even a return to plastic with a special surface treatment. Each material has its own specific advantages and disadvantages. However, we expect metal casings to hold their own for awhile.

POLYMER BATTERIES: MUST-HAVE COMPONENT TO AVOID THICKNESS ISSUES

Polymer batteries are the must-have component to avoid thickness issues. Within this segment, Simplo (6121.TT) and Dynapack (3211.TT) appear well positioned. The new hero when it comes to spurring PC demand – the tablet – will, in our opinion, be the key driver of PC growth beginning in 2011. It will also be the key growth catalyst for both Simplo (with the largest share globally) and Dynapack. We expect Simplo, which holds the major share in the Apple battery supply chain, as well as relationships with other tablet makers, to benefit most from this trend.

Polymer batteries – the trend for ultrabook (thin-and-light) products

Most NBs use cylindrical battery packs; however, with the shift to the thin-and-light form factor for NBs, such as for ultrabooks and the MacBook Air and Pro, the trend is to use Li- polymer batteries instead of Li-ion batteries. The size of the Li-polymer battery is customisable based on specific product requirements, and as such, can be made thinner than the cylindrical type (fixed shape/standardized size).

HOLLOW-TYPE HINGS: BEST-TO-USE COMPONENT TO REDUCE THE THINKNESS ISSUE FOR ULTRABOOKS

Hollow-type hinges are the best-to-use component to significantly reduce the thickness issue. We view SZS (3376.TT) as the most likely winner in this space. Its hollow-type hinges can help NB products to be even thinner because the antenna can be put through the hinge, saving the space vs. other hinges that require the antenna to run outside along with the hinge. SZS has the highest yield rate and best quality for hollow-type hinges, which is proven by its position as the only supplier for Apple’s MacBook Air/Pro. We discuss SZS’s competitive advantages more fully in the company specific section of this report.

FOXCONN TECH (1-OW; PT NT$120; 24% POTENTIAL UPSIDE): ULTRA-THIN NBS TO SUSTAIN GROWTH

We initiate coverage of metal-casing maker FTC with a 1-Overweight rating and 2354 TT / 2354.TW 12-month price target of NT$120. For 2011-12E, we prefer stocks strongly associated Stock Rating with Apple products, tablets and ultrabooks (or any thin-and-light NBs). For FTC, in 1-OVERWEIGHT 2012, we forecast EPS growth of 27% y/y and expect the sales contribution from light Sector View metal casings to help the company maintain its overall gross margin and offset the 2-NEUTRAL downward trend for ASPs and gross margins we forecast for game consoles and Price Target thermal modules for 2012. We expect sales of light metal casings to continue to trend TWD 120.00 upward as metal casings become a must-have packaging for any ultra-thin product. Price (05-Oct-2011) TWD 96.80 iPhones/iPads and ultra-thin NBs drive growth of metal casings Potential Upside/Downside We reiterate our forecast for 48% y/y sales growth for tablet PCs and triple-digit growth for +24% ultrabooks (180%), which we expect to reach 10-20% of total NB shipments in 2012, up from 6% in 2011E (please refer to our 19 July 2011 report, “Initiate coverage of Simplo and Dynapack: leaders of the pack”). We believe ultrabooks and thin-type NBs (thin-and-light NBs, such as MacBook Air/Pro) of 17-21mm thickness will definitely be the trend to watch in the NB product segment in the coming years.

Light metal casings: a trend and key factor for ultra-thin products

The light metal casing has become a must-have in terms of product design, no matter whether the brand maker decides to use unibody or simpler stamping or die-casting. The metal is the key material in building a durable package to house the product structure as well as creating a keen sense of style and design. Given the boom of the iPhone, iPad and other Apple products and the potential from ultrabooks (including MacBook Air/Pro and other brands’ ultra-thin NBs) as well as the higher gross margin (resulting from the complicated process) and the higher entry barriers in terms of capacity scale (key manufacturing equipment: die-casting, stamping and CNC (computer numerical controls – a type of high- end drilling machine for producing unibodies), yield rates and technology, we believe metal casings are the product segment to sustain sales and earnings growth in 2012. Potential to grow – just the beginning of profit improvement

We like FTC, not only because it is a major metal-casing provider but also because we believe it still has significant ability to grow and expand. We expect the sales contribution of metal casings to grow to 30% in 2012E from 22% in 2011E, and its profit contribution to rise to 46% in 2012E from 30% in 2011E. Thus, FTC’s overall gross margin has the potential to either improve or maintain steady vs the usual trend of contracting margins in the hardware segment (refer to Figures 16-19).

Valuation and risks

Valuation Our 12-month price target for FTC is NT$120. We use P/E to value FTC, setting our target multiple at 13x and applying it to our 2012 EPS forecast of NT$9.23. FTC’s historical P/E for 2007-11E was 10-40x, with an average of 13.5x for 2009-11E. We prefer to value the stock conservatively at this moment due to the volatile sales contribution from game consoles as well as the downward trend of thermal sales and their gross margin, and so view a P/E multiple of 13x as justified. Going forward, however, we believe FTC may deserve a premium because of its promising metal casing business for iPad, iPhone and ultrabooks. We would consider adjusting our target multiple once the sales contribution of metal casings accounts for more than 50% of total revenue.

Our price target represents potential upside of 24%, which we estimate is at the upper end of its peer group; therefore, we assign a 1-Overweight rating.

Risks The key risks that could prevent our price target from being achieved, in our view, are the following: 1) demand for Apple products, such as the iPad and iPhone, proving to be lower than we expect; 2) demand for ultrabooks also lower than expected; and 3) FTC’s capacity proves insufficient to meet demand for metal casings (for unibody types, in particular, which require FTC to operate numerous CNC machines).

Earnings outlook for 2011-12E

Apple expected to drive FTC sales Growth from metal casings for According to our US IT hardware analyst, Ben Reitzes, 39mn iPad units will be shipped in 2011 Apple products and 49mn in 2012E. Including non-Apple tablets, Ben estimates total shipment volumes at 63mn for 2011E and 79mn for 2012E. The y/y growth rates of 26% forecast for 2012E and 20% for 2013E are far above the PC industry’s average growth forecast of single digits for the near term. We believe FTC, as the main supplier of metal casings for Apple products (including iPhones/iPads/iMacs), is set to benefit from this expected growth.

Metal casings sales to be driven by iPhones and iPads We like FTC as it is the major metal casings source for iPads and iPhones, which are Apple’s high-growth product lines. These two product segments also bring meaningful revenue to the supply chain. With this growth trend expected to continue and FTC’s position as a major source, we believe its earnings growth momentum over the coming years will continue to be high.

Sensitivity analysis for sales and the operating margin

We analyze the sensitivity of our 2012 EPS forecast to examine and support our view that FTC’s risk-reward profile is positive under various scenarios. We conclude that two major factors affect EPS: 1) sales and 2) the operating margin.

Our base-case scenario calls for sales of NT$149bn for 2012E (15.6% y/y) and an operating margin of 9% (up from 7.8% for 2011E), representing EPS of NT$9.23. We conclude the following:

Worst-case scenario: Quarterly volumes were to remain flat and its operating margin lower than our forecast.

Best-case scenario: EPS would be higher than our forecast with a significant improvement in cost efficiency.

Base-case scenario: On our earnings forecasts, FTC would still follow the pattern of the Apple products, tablet and ultrabook boom going forward. We could see further upside to earnings revisions after that.

Catalysts

Near-term catalysts High exposure to Apple for 2011-12E: We expect the gross profit contribution from metal casings to expand to 46% in 2012 (from 30% in 2011), along with the dual Apple-related catalysts – the launch of iPhone 5 and iPad3, We expect FTC to continue to deliver strong absolute growth, both in terms of revenue/profits and share price performance despite the recent weakness in the PC industry. In terms of volumes for metal casings for Apple iPhones, iPads and ultrabooks, we believe FTC will be able to maintain its position as the largest metal casing supplier for iPads, iPhones and ultrabooks.

Long-term catalysts Metal casings – the 3-year material cycle trend: We expect earnings growth of 27% y/y, on the back of the ultrabook boom (we forecast 180% y/y shipment unit growth, from 14mn units in 2011 to 40mn units in 2012, the long-term product/material trend).

The competitive situation

Light metal casings (30% of total sales in 2012E, around 20% GM) Metal casings have been a trend in product design of NBs, mobile phones, consumer electronics and tablets for some time now, owing to the advantage of lightness, better heat- reduction, better hardness, recyclability and stylish appearance, especially for tablets and ultra-thin NBs.

The competition – one of two major suppliers FTC is one of two major metal casing suppliers in the supply chain, and we believe it will continue to hold its lead through at least 2012. The other supplier is catcher (2474.TT) which covered by our analyst, Dale Gai. The entry barriers to this segment are capacity scale, which depends on how many CNC the metal casing suppliers have. Although other component suppliers have placed aggressive orders for CNC machines to catch up with FTC’s production capacity for unibody designs (some ultrabooks implement this higher-end metal casing instead of mainstream designs that use die-casting and stamping), the larger

the order a supplier places, the faster the supplier gets the end product. The lead time for CNC machines currently ranges from 1.5 months to 6 months depending on the bargaining power of the supplier pacing the order. Thus, we expect FTC, which already has the machines – to continue to benefit from Apple’s iPad 2 and iPad 3 as well as its iPhone 4 and 5 in 2012.

Light metal casings – life cycle Thermal – ASP & GM declining (14% of total sales in 2012E, around 10% GM) Although thermal modules are vital for heat reduction for PC/handset products, we are quite conservative for thermal’s future growth owing to the following: 1) low barriers to entry – there are countless suppliers, fierce competition exists in pricing and it operates more like a traditional manufacturing business; and 2) alternatives – there are various substitutes for heat reduction, such as GTS (thermal flexible graphite sheets), which is thinner and easier to implement and can also reduce heat but are currently more expensive.

Usage of thermal modules Thermal modules are normally used to reduce the heat from the CPU and graphic chips, without thermal modules, the heat might cause poor user experiences of overheating, or even OS crashes. Several key factors form a total solution: 1) a thermal module – made from metal that absorbs and disperses the heat from CPUs or graphics chips; 2) a fan – this blows the heat out of the product casing; and 3) heat pipe – this links the heat between the heat pad on the CPU or graphics chip and the thermal module and then is used to channel the heat out via a fan.

Game consoles – the sales contribution is declining (56% of total sales in 2012E, 10% GM) Since 2010, game console sales have been in a downtrend, due to lack of new eye-catching applications. Given the lower gross margin of the assembly business and concern about the downward demand, we are conservative on the future growth of its sales and earnings contribution.

SHIN ZU SHING (2-EW; PT NT$58; 4% POTENTIAL DOWNSIDE): EXPECTING ULTRA- THIN NBS TO TURN CANNIBALIZATION AROUND

3376 TT / 3376.TW We initiate coverage of hinge manufacturer SZS with a 2-Equal Weight rating and 12- month price target of NT$58. We expect 2011 to be a tough year for the hinge providers Stock Rating 2-EQUAL WEIGHT due to the following: 1) cannibalization brought on by the tablet boom and 2) price-erosion from competition for conventional NBs. We see the MacBook Air/Pro and the potential Sector View from ultrabooks as helping to sustain and slightly ease this cannibalization impact. In our 2-NEUTRAL view, the significant potential from ultrabooks and ultra-thin NBs (such as Apple’s Price Target MacBook Air/Pro) will be the lifesaver for the hinge manufacturers in 2012, and we expect TWD 58.00 SZS with its advanced experience and technology in hollow-type hinges (which have a Price (05-Oct-2011) higher entry barrier) for Apple products – to maintain its lead on the back of this boom. TWD 60.40 Potential Upside/Downside Ultrabooks and ultra-thin (MacBook Air/Pro) NBs appear the lifesavers for higher-end -4% hollow-type hinges for three reasons: 1) SZS holds the lead in terms of market share of hinges (45-50% of total NBs), yield rate and technology; 2) it is also the major hinge supplier to Apple’s MacBook Air/Pro (90%+ share) due to its higher yield rate and reliability; and 3) the hollow-type hinge is also one of the keys to making NBs thinner (saving more space by allowing the antenna to be put inside the hinge.

For 2012, we forecast EPS growth of 25% y/y, based on the following: 1) inventory write- offs by year-end 2011; 2) adoption of hollow-type hinges for ultrabooks; and 3) its high dominant market share of hinges for Apple’s MacBook Air/Pro should help SZS maintain its sales and earnings growth momentum.

Potential inventory write-off significant to 2012 outlook

Because of weak NB demand in 2011, SZS may be suffering from inventory overbuild. We would welcome any move by the company to write off inventory, which would improve its 2012 outlook. Should this take place, we would expect the share price to strength by 12% by end-2011.

Valuation

Our 12-month price target for SZS is NT$58. We value SZS by using a P/E multiple of 12x (with normal trading cycle (10-24x) of 12x, We apply our target multiple for our EPS forecast of NT$4.85 for 2012. We believe a P/E of 12x is justified (the mean is 18x) until we see a clearer adoption rate of higher-end hollow-type hinges for ultrabooks. Although tablet cannibalization could negatively impact growth of NB hinge sales, we believe the upward growth trend we forecast for MacBook Air/Pro products should allow SZS to maintain its sales growth momentum and gross margin in 2012E.

Our price target represents potential downside of 4%, which we estimate is in line with SZS’s peer group; therefore, we assign a 2-Equal Weight rating.

Risks

Upside risks: The key risks to the upside that could prevent our price target from being achieved, in our view, are the following: 1) higher-than-expected hollow-type hinge adoption rate on non-Apple ultrabooks and 2) better-than-expected NB demand in 2012E that might bring SZS a chance to maintain sales and earnings growth momentum.

Downside risks: The key risks to the downside that could prevent our price target from being achieved, in our view, are the following: 1) lower-than-expected demand for ultrabooks and MacBook Air/Pro could negatively impact the expected sales growth momentum in 2012 and 2) a lower-than-expected ultra-thin (hollow) hinge adaption rate for NBs due to limited budgets for implementation of higher-end specs.

Price-erosion competition never-ending, but the yield rate makes the difference

With increasingly more participants in the conventional NB hinge supply chain, APSs and GMs have been declining. However, due to its higher yield rate and reliability, SZS continues to be the market share leader with 45-50% of total NBs and 90%-plus of MacBook Air/Pro. SZS was not the sole supplier to Apple at first; however, as the other suppliers are no longer able to afford the low yield rate, it is now increasing its market share.

Earnings outlook for 2011E-12E

Apple MacBook Air/Pro and ultrabooks to drive SZS sales We believe SZS is set to benefit from the forecast growth in ultrabook sales. SZS is the main supplier of hinges for MacBook Air/Pro, and most top-tier brand makers are launching ultrabooks using SZS’s solution. Indeed, the company is in the development stage for new models for 2012E.

Sensitivity analysis – sales and operating margins

We analyze the sensitivity of our forecast for SZS’s EPS 2012 to examine and support our view that its risk-reward profile is positive under various scenarios. We conclude that two major factors affecting EPS are 1) sales and 2) operating margins.

Our base-case scenario calls for sales of NT$9.4bn for 2012 (up 13% y/y) and an operating margin of 9.8% (up from 8.9% for 2011E), representing EPS of NT$4.85. We conclude the following:

Worst-case scenario: Quarterly volumes would remain flat and the operating margin would turn out to be lower than we forecast.

Base-case scenario: On our earnings forecasts, SZS still follows the pattern of the Apple products and ultrabook boom going forward. We could see further upside to earnings revisions after that.

Best-case scenario: EPS would be higher than our forecast with a significant improvement in cost efficiency.

Catalysts

Near-term catalysts High exposure to Apple (MacBook Air/Pro) in 2011-12E: We expect SZS to continue to deliver strong absolute growth, both in terms of revenue/profit and share price performance, despite recent weakness in the PC industry and tablet cannibalization. In terms of volume, SZS should benefit from being the major hinge components supplier for Apple’s MacBook Air/Pro.

Long-term catalysts – higher-end hinges for ultra-thin NBs We expect ultrabooks and ultra-thin NBs to be the lifesavers for higher-end hinge makers: SZS is the hinge leader in terms of market share (45-50% of total NBs), yield rates and technology. And, because of its higher yield rates and reliability, it is the major hinge supplier for Apple’s MacBook Air/Pro (90%+ share). In addition, the hollow-type hinge is also one of the keys to thinner NBs (saves space by allowing the antenna to be put inside the hinge).

6 October 2011 32 Barclays Capital | Asia ex-Japan IT Hardware

Potential inventory write-off significant for outlook for 2012: We believe SZS suffers from inventory overbuild in 2011 due to weak NB demand so any potential move to write off inventory this year would help our outlook for 2012. Should this take place, 2011 could turn out to be a tough year for SZS and could result in some short-term weakness for its stock price at year-end.

The competitive situation

Hinges (82% of total sales for 2012E, 18% GM) With the dramatic trend of declining ASPs since 2010 due to price competition, SZS’s gross margin shrank from 32% for 2009 to 18% currently. We believe it will be difficult for the company to return its gross margin to the previous level with new entrants cutting prices to gain share in the NB market.

Price-erosion competition never-ending, but the yield rate makes the difference With increasingly more participants in the conventional NB hinge supply chain, ASPs and GMs have been declining. SZS, however, with its high yield rates and reliability, continues to be the market share leader – 45-50% of total NBs and 90%+ of Apple’s MacBook Air/Pro (SZS was not the sole supplier to Apple in the beginning, but since the other suppliers can no longer afford the low yield rates, SZS’s share is increasing).

JU TENG (3-UW; PT HK$1.20; 14% POTENTIAL DOWNSIDE): SUFFERING FROM THE MATERIAL MIGRATION

3336 HK / 3336.HK We initiate coverage of Ju Teng (3336 HK) with a 3-Underweight rating and 12-month price target of HK$1.20. Our price target is based on 6x our EPS forecast of HK$0.2 for Stock Rating 2012. With a solid global market share in plastic casings for NB products and leadership 3-UNDERWEIGHT in technology for injections, moldings and painting, Ju Teng will likely contiue to Sector View maintain its leading position for products using plastic casings. However, we expect a 2-NEUTRAL significant slowdown in plastic casings given the trend for metal casing is becoming the Price Target mainstream for products such as tablets (Apple’s iPad in particular), thin-type NBs HKD 1.20 (Apple’s MacBook Air/Pro), high-end smartphones and potential ultrabooks. Thus, we Price (05-Oct-2011) expec a de-rating during the 3-year trend of a switch to metal casing that we forecast HKD 1.40 for 2010-12E. Potential Upside/Downside -14% Long-term investment thesis

The market share for plastic casing clients is close to being saturated. We estimate that Ju Teng’s major clients account for more than 70% of its sales for 2011 as Ju Teng has been the first source for plastic casings for major top-tier brand makers. We also estimate that Ju Teng’s market share of plastic casings is nearly 40-50% for 2011. Without a strong growth driver, such as tablets and thin-type NBs, upside potential for further share price gains might be limited since the company faces pressure from the boom of metal casing and from competitor such as Foxconn Tech in supplying metal casings for Apple’s iPads and iPhones as well as for other upcoming ultrabooks.

Could Ju Teng catch up with competitors and gain share in the metal casing supply chain? Not likely in 2012, in our view. We believe Ju Teng is the leader of casing design/manufacturing in NB supply chain; however, we expect the major metal casing suppliers like Foxconn Tech and Catcher will take the lead in 2012 due to their 1) existing big scale of production capacity; 2) higher yield rates because of accumulated experience with various clients and products; and 3) their well-recognized market positions in terms of producing quality metal casings.

Near-term prospects

Cost-down pressure from ODM/brands never ends With the BOM more transparent than ever and the continuous cost-cutting pressure from ODM/brands, Ju Teng’s gross margin are significantly exposed. Thanks to its high yield rates (about 95%) on plastic casings, Ju Teng has still been able maintain to its leading position in the plastic casing supply chain.

The customer mix limits Ju Teng’s expansion for metal casings We believe Ju Teng’s leading technology leave it will managed to execute on injections, moulding and painting of NB casings. However, Ju Teng’s metal casing department is growing relative slower than those of other metal casing suppliers, such as those for Foxconn Tech and Catcher (2474.TT, Catcher is covered by Dale Gai as part of his coverage of Asia ex-Japan Wireless Equipment & products) as Foxconn Tech benefits from order allocations from Hon Hai (the major EMS of Apple’s iPhones, iPads and other products), while Ju Teng is in the NB supply chain, it is suffering from the slowdown in NB demand since 2010 from the cannibalization of tablets.

Efforts in metal casings

Ju Teng has been making an effort for several years now to catch with its peers on metal casings. However, with the significant increased in demand for metal casings since 2011 – contributed by the iPad/iPhone boom – Ju Teng has become one of the victims of tablet cannibalization.

Apple (iPad and iPhone) has been sourcing from FTC since the beginning, and when it comes to product design such as the ‘unibody’ (the metal casing MacBook Air/Pro use), which requires a lot of CNC machines for mass production, Ju Teng and other key casing suppliers are disadvantaged by not having the scale of FTC. We believe Ju Teng has the necessary injection/molding/casings experience, but it will still take some time to expand its capacity for higher-end metal casings.

Valuation

Our 12-month price target for Ju Teng is HK$1.20. We value the company using a target P/E multiple of 5x, which we apply to our 2012 EPS forecast of HK$0.2. We set our target multiple at 6x, which in line with the stock’s normal trading cycle (2-10x) of 6x because we do not expect Ju Teng’s to trade at as a high multiple as in the past given that metal casings are approaching full adoption in the next two years.

Our price target represents potential downside of 14%, which we estimate is at the bottom end of Ju Teng’s peer group; therefore, we assign a 3-Underweight rating.

Risks

The key risks to the upside that could prevent our price target from being achieved, in our view, are the following: 1) lower-than-expected demand for metal casings, 2) Ju Teng’s capacity for and experience in metal casing (both die-casting and stamping) catching up with that of other major competitors before 2Q12E and 3) higher-than-expected recognition and confidence from customers in terms of Ju Teng’s metal casing manufacturing.

Earnings outlook for 2011E-2012

We believe the market/product trend will continue to move toward metal casings for several years. The plastic casing providers will likely suffer from cannibalization and it will also take some time for them to expand capacity. We are conservative on Juteng’s earnings potential for 2011E-12E, as it is currently suffering from tablet cannibalization and weak NB demand.

Sensitivity analysis – sales and operating margins

We analyze the sensitivity of our forecast for Juteng’s 2012 EPS to examine and support our view that its risk-reward profile is positive under various scenarios. We conclude that two major factors affecting EPS are: 1) sales; and 2) operating margins.

Our base-case scenario calls for sales of HK$7bn for 2012 (up 0.5% y/y) and an operating margin of 3% (same as 2011E), representing EPS of HK$0.2. We conclude the following:

Worst-case scenario: Quarterly volumes would remain flat and the operating margin would turn out to be lower than we forecast.

Base-case scenario: On our earnings forecasts, Juteng still follows the pattern of the Apple products and ultrabook boom going forward. We could see further upside to earnings revisions after that.

Best-case scenario: EPS would be higher than our forecast with a significant improvement in cost efficiency.

Catalysts

Long-term catalysts We believe Ju Teng may have a better chance than other upcoming competitors to gain market share of metal casings due to: 1) the company’s proven experience in injections/mouldings/casings; 2) close relationships with top-tier brand makers; and 3) growing capacity/facility of CNC machines (for higher end product design – ‘unibody’).

APPENDIX I: WOA! (WINDOWS ON ARM) – AN OPPORTUNITY FOR NON-APPLE TABLETS/ULTRABOOKS WITH WIN8/ARM

Why we expect component suppliers’ growth momentum to be driven by ultrabooks/tablets For 2012, we are still positive on the growth momentum for tablet PCs. In addition to the iPad series, we believe sales of other tablets (non-Apple camp) will still grow, due to demand from the commercial segment. Although Windows 8 is not a surprising OS – we view it more as a service pack upgrade – it does incorporate together versions of the OS to run tablets, smartphones and PCs, and it offers support for touch solutions. Our checks suggest that Windows 8 will still get a sizable market share in terms of the commercial segment (Windows is still the preferred OS for commercial usages) and that Windows 8 could be regarded as the first Windows OS that fits the ARM-based platform. Some PC makers are trying to avoid the pricier Intel CPU/chipset solutions. However, AMD and ARM are not likely to replace Intel’s solution in the near term, due to various concerns.

Windows 8 + ARM-based platform to win together

Cannot win it alone According to our checks, we believe neither the Windows 8 nor ARM-based platform can go it alone, as Windows 8 does not seem to provide end-users with a surprisingly new OS nor is it competitive with Apple’s iOS (with comprehensive applications and mature users’ adoption on tablets).

As for an ARM-based platform, we know there are several major solution providers (such as nVidia, Samsung and TI) that have been dedicated to this platform for a while, and since the previous Windows version (Windows 7) cannot run smoothly on current ARM-based platforms, this means another Linux-based OS (such as Chrome OS) is being used, often failing in the end because of users’ lower confidence in and experience with these other OS.

Windows 8 + ARM-based platform synergies Windows 8 is the first Widows OS that can be operated smoothly on ARM-based platforms. The benefit of smoothly operating on an ARM-based platform is more than that it offers a new alternative – an ARM-based OS platforms is 50% cheaper in terms of CPUs/chipsets/passive components vs an Intel solution. Indeed, PC makers can now offer clients a reliable, but familiar Windows on a cheaper platform that offers more portability and additional functionality.

Which segment to penetrate? Commercial: Definitely, as we believe the Windows platform is still welcome in terms of usage in medicine, education, office work, etc.

Gray area between Apple iOS and Google: The combination of Windows 8 + ARM might gain market share in the grey area that consists of PC makers and end-users who are hesitant to use the Google platform because of slow responsiveness and ownerships issues (in comparison to well-built Microsfot Windows) if there are any technical bugs or specific tailor-made requests. Google’s Android OS is open source, which provides cost savings, but when any bugs are found and problem solving is needed, there is general concern among end-users and PC makers because the Google platform does not offer the same level of support that Microsoft does.

Valuation Methodology and Risks

Asia ex-Japan IT Hardware

Foxconn Technology Co., Ltd. (2354 TT / 2354.TW) Valuation Methodology: Our 12-month PT for FTC is NT$120 based on a target P/E multiple of 13x our 2012 EPS forecast of NT$9.23. FTC's historical P/E for 2007-11E was 10-40x, averaging 13.5x in 2009-11E. We conservatively value the stock, due to the volatile sales contribution from game consoles and the downward trend of thermal sales and their gross margin, and so view a P/E of 13x as justified. Going forward, however, we believe FTC may deserve a premium because of its promising metal casing business for iPad, iPhone and ultrabooks. We would consider adjusting our target multiple once the sales contribution of metal casings accounts for more than 50% of total revenue. Risks which May Impede the Achievement of the Price Target: The risks that could prevent our NT$120 PTfrom being achieved are: 1) demand for Apple products, such as the iPad and iPhone, proving to be lower than we expect; 2) demand for ultrabooks also lower than expected; and 3) FTC's capacity proves insufficient to meet demand for metal casings (for unibody types, in particular, which require FTC to operate numerous CNC machines). Ju Teng International Co., Ltd. (3336 HK / 3336.HK) Valuation Methodology: Our HK$1.20 PT Ju Teng is based on P/E using a target P/E multiple of 5x our 2012 EPS forecast of HK$0.2. We set our target multiple at 6x, which in line with the stock's normal trading cycle (2-10x) of 6x, because we do not expect Ju Teng's to trade at as a high multiple as in the past given that metal casings are approaching full adoption in the next two years. Risks which May Impede the Achievement of the Price Target: The key risks to the upside that could prevent our HK$1.20 PT for Ju Teng from being achieved are: 1) lower-than-expected demand for metal casings, 2) Ju Teng's capacity for and experience in metal casing (both die-casting and stamping) catchs up with that of other major competitors before 2Q12E and 3) higher-than-expected recognition and confidence from customers in terms of Ju Teng's metal casing manufacturing. Shin Zu Shing Co., Ltd. (3376 TT / 3376.TW) Valuation Methodology: Our NT$58 PT for Shin Zu SHing is based on P/E using a target P/E multiple of 12x (with a normal trading cycle (10- 24x) of 12x, We apply our target multiple for our 2012 EPS forecast of NT$4.85. We believe a P/E of 12x is justified (the mean is 18x) until we see a clearer adoption rate of higher-end hollow-type hinges for ultrabooks. Although tablet cannibalization could negatively impact growth of NB hinge sales, we believe the upward growth trend we forecast for MacBook Air/Pro products should allow SZS to maintain its sales growth momentum and gross margin in 2012E. Risks which May Impede the Achievement of the Price Target: The risks that our NT$58 PT for Shin Zu Shing will not be achieved include the following. Upside risks: The key risks to the upside that could prevent our price target from being achieved, in our view, are the following: 1) higher-than-expected hollow-type hinge adoption rate on non-Apple ultrabooks and 2) better-than-expected NB demand in 2012E that might bring SZS a chance to maintain sales and earnings growth momentum. Downside risks: The key risks to the downside that could prevent our price target from being achieved, in our view, are the following: 1) lower- than-expected demand for ultrabooks and MacBook Air/Pro could negatively impact the expected sales growth momentum in 2012 and 2) a lower-than-expected ultra-thin (hollow) hinge adaption rate for NBs due to limited budgets for implementation of higher-end specs.
