1 Focus: Optical sensing & Communication Our alliance partner, Daiwa, recently issued a thematic report on the Optical Sensing and Communication (OSC) sector, focusing on the sector s large market potential and exciting growth prospects. Forecasting a 113% CAGR for the consumer-laser market (including automotive) for 217-2, we flag Globe as a beneficiary. Inari is our preferred exposure in the infrastructure-laser space. Consumer-laser market up and coming With the improving adoption of vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) technology in smartphones, the former has been fast replacing LED sensors, and creating a new leg of growth for the consumer laser market. VCSEL s superiority (over LED), enhances photonic-sensing qualities required amongst others in proximity sensing, gesture reading and biometric recognition. Likewise, VCSEL adoption has found its way in smartphone 3D-depth imaging, to facilitate and enhance augmented reality/virtual reality user experiences. On the infrastructure-laser market front, continued bandwidth upgrades in the wire-line data transmission infrastructure will likely ensure multi-year demand growth. Automotive segment likely to drive future consumer-laser market Beyond smartphones, the next driver for the consumer laser market will likely be led by the automotive segment via adoption of laser headlights and more so by light detection and ranging (LiDAR) for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Growth in this area should be more prevalent once penetration of autonomous vehicles increases, beyond 22. A massively growing market Underpinned by demand from the smartphone market, Daiwa expects the consumer laser market at the die/array level to exceed USD4m in and growing at a CAGR of 114% over 217-2E (Fig 2) (see A whole new world, 28 June 217). By 225, the market size is estimated to be worth USD1bn, which will be driven predominantly by the automotive sector, with a crossover from the smartphone sector by E (Fig 4). At the module level, the total consumer laser market is expected to be valued at USD1bn in and to surpass USD1bn in (Fig 3). Inari and Globe are our top picks We maintain our Neutral sector view, but are positive on the OSC subsegment. For exposure to the infrastructure laser segment, we like Inari (INRI MK, RM2.12, BUY) for its data server chip business, which in our view will benefit from data-network upgrades. In the consumer and automotive laser space, Globe (GTB MK, RM6.3, BUY) will likely be a key beneficiary given its strong partnership with its Austrian customer, where the latter has established a strong foothold in this space.

3 Proxy for the consumer laser market New capex investments, a further RM2m, should increase installed capacity to 36m units/month (+16%) for the light sensor and 12m units/month (+71%) for the gesture sensor by end 3Q17. The light sensor is expected to be designed into its North US customer s entire product portfolio while a potential bundling strategy for the wireless headset (in which the gesture sensor is designed in), necessitates the capacity upgrades. Globe s other US customer is also undergoing qualification for auto laser headlamps, putting Globe in a position to benefit from the strong consumer laser market growth. Ramp up in light sensors Globe is expected to deliver 8m units of the sensor in June, to fulfil demand for its North US customer s new product launch in 3Q17. Globe expects volume shipments to rise to 25m units in July, once equipment is fully installed and qualified. The next leg up in capacity by 3Q17, raises the question if more than one light sensor is required per device, possibly leading to a re-rating in earnings. Bundling strategy for wireless headset likely a blue sky scenario Although Globe s gesture sensor volume has progressively improved, production remains relatively low at 6m units/month. Raw material constraints are gradually being resolved paving the way for better output. A blue sky scenario of bundling of the wireless headset with future smartphone models is a major positive catalyst. Automotive laser headlamps next? Globe has been the partner for a niche LED manufacturer based in the US. We are excited that Globe and its customer are currently undergoing qualification by two German automotive manufacturers for the latter s laser headlamps, and could be a positive catalyst, if materialised. Maintain BUY and 12-month TP of RM8 (based on 2x EPS) With the strong growth prospects in the consumer laser market and coupled with its strategic partnership with its Austrian customer, we think that Globe is still in the early days of a strong earnings upcycle. With an expanding contribution from the sensor segment, we project a - earnings CAGR of 71%. Key risk to our call: loss of key customer.

5 Ready for data-infra-bandwidth upgrades Inari recently commenced assembly for IRIS infrared (IR) chips for a German MNC, providing a third growth engine for the group supplementing its radio-frequency (RF) and fibre-optic (FO) businesses. RF should see better demand ahead of restocking demand. Meanwhile, bandwidth upgrades from datacentre operators should benefit high-bandwidth FO transceivers such as Broadcom and in turn Inari. On a smaller scale, Inari does VCSEL assembly and test for Broadcom s data communication business. Maintain Buy. IRIS chip ramping up smoothly Production for the IRIS chips have gradually ramped up to its installed capacity of 5m units/month, after being fully qualified in February 217. Capacity is expected to double up in July with further plans of capacity expansion by 3Q17, bringing installed capacity closer to the 16m unit/month mark. Having been designed into a leading Korean smartphone brand, we estimate that by FY18E, IRIS chips would contribute up to 14% of Inari s revenue. RF business picking up Inari should see a seasonal pick up in the RF division, to facilitate new builds for its North US customer in 2H17. This should be followed by improved demand for RF filters with current technology limitation on noise reduction where faster data transfer speeds has required the need for additional filters. Inari is upgrading tester capacity by 1% to 77 units. Slowly progressing in data-server segment Inari s expansion into the long-haul data-server chip mixed-signal testing business is progressing well, albeit tracking behind initial plans. The number of testers should reach 36 units by mid-217 (previously c.58 units). However, delays are not significant (c.9% of FY18E sales) and due to change in business strategy, as Broadcom will now consign equipment. Maintain BUY and 12-month TP of RM2.6 (based on 2x FY18E EPS) Inari is well positioned in the RF, wired and enterprise-storage space, in our view. Near-term growth should continue to be fuelled by rising mobile-device complexity, wider global LTE coverage and broader adoption of the IRIS biometric scanning function. Its foot in the data server business and VCSEL packaging should allow it to ride on the next wave of consumer-demand-led laser growth. Risk: high single-customer concentration.
