1 COMPANY NOTE HKG Technology Comm. Equipment TCL Communication (2618 HK) Look Forward to Smartphone Growth Key Takeaway TCL Comm reported Q1 earnings materially below our/consensus expectations due to pricing pressure, higher than expected opex, and delay of smartphone ramp. Total ASP was US$34.6, up 11% YoY, driven by increasing mix of smartphone. Management reiterated 2012 revenue growth of 30% YoY. We maintain our Buy rating on attractive valuation and its shares are likely to start working when smartphone mix and ASP increases. Our new PT is HK$3.78. Weak quarter in EMEA and Americas. TCL Comm reported Q1 revenue of HK$2,105mn (down 1% YoY) and EPS of HK$0.02 (down 86% YoY) versus our/consensus estimates of HK $1,953/HK$2,018mn and HK$0.08/HK$0.06, respectively. Gross margin was down 260 bps sequentially to 19.9%. Management noted challenging demand dynamics in the EMEA and Americas resulted in feature phone margin erosion. EMEA declined 24% YoY to 2.5mn units. Americas declined 23% YoY to 3.4mn units. Asia Pacific decreased 1% YoY to 0.6mn units. China grew 216% YoY to 1.3mn units. Guidance. Management reiterated 2012 revenue growth of 30% YoY, driven by higher smartphone ASP (typically 3x feature phones ASP), smartphone market expansion, and new relationship with carriers. The company will continue to invest in R&D and S&M to promote new smartphone models going forward. Management expects shipment of smartphone to grow sequentially onward. Revising down our earnings estimates. We believe TCL Comm is going to start benefiting from growth in the smartphone market, which is going to lift its ASPs. However, we also expect weak feature phone demand and intensifying competition in smartphone. We raise our 2012/13 revenue estimates by 1%/3% and revise down net income estimates by 18%/16% to reflect gross margin erosion and higher than expected investment in R&D and S&M. Valuation is attractive. With our optimism on its smartphone product roadmap, we view TCL Comm s share price at 5x 2012 P/E attractively valued. We believe risk/reward is favorable and shares are likely to start working when smartphone mix and ASP increases. Valuation/Risks We reiterate our Buy on TCL Comm and adjust our PT from HK$4.65 PT to HK$3.78, based on 6x our 2012E EPS of HK$0.63. This target multiple is at the low end of its historical forward PE band of 6-11x. Key risks: competition, slowdown in handset demand, and pricing pressure.

10 2. Only stocks with a Buy rating are allowed to be included in the recommended list. 3. Stocks are screened for minimum market capitalisation and adequate daily turnover. Furthermore, a valuation, correlation and style screen is used to ensure a well-diversified portfolio. 4. Stocks are sorted to a maximum of 30 stocks with the maximum country exposure at around 50%. Limits are also imposed on a sector basis. 5. Once a month, analysts are invited to recommend their best ideas. Analysts stock selection can be based on one or more of the following: non-consensus investment view, difference in earnings relative to Consensus, valuation methodology, target upside/downside % relative to the current stock price. These are then assessed against existing holdings to ensure consistency. Stocks that have either reached their target price, been downgraded over the course of the month or where a more suitable candidate has been found are removed. 6. All stocks are inserted at the last closing price and removed at the last closing price. There are no changes to the conviction list during the month. 7. Performance is calculated in US dollars on an equally weighted basis and is compared to MSCI World AC US$. 8. The conviction list is published once a month whilst global equity markets are closed. 9. Transaction fees are not included. 10. All corporate actions are taken into account.
