10 Multiple Contraction Forward P/E Multiples 01/20/ /01/2010 Note that in contrast to Seagate s overall price appreciation over the last few weeks, its price to future earnings multiples remains lower than before it provided its most recent earnings port. Western Digital does not show this dichotomy as both its price and PE multiple have deteriorated. Source: Avian Securities, Bloomberg Asia Pacific, March
11 Implications of Current Multiple Deterioration Forward P/E Multiples HDD Maker s Stock Prices The last period of multiple deterioration in 2007/2008 foreshadowed an end to a cyclical uptrend. In our view Wall Street is concerned that the business cycle has again peaked and is anticipating another imminent trough. Source: Avian Securities, Bloomberg Asia Pacific, March
12 Wall Street Fears Cyclical Peaks Eventually oversupply is inevitable. With oversupply comes product ASP compression. Lower pricing invariably slows or even reverses revenue growth. The effect of ASP declines on earnings is even more dramatic as declining margins multiply the impact of revenue compression. Asia Pacific, March

14 Contrast in Outlook Timothy Leydon Western Digital CFO: Obviously we have to go through the softest period of the year, which generally is not necessarily a calendar quarter, but it actually is the three month period for March, April and May. Speaking on 2/24 at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference Steve Luczo Seagate CEO: I mean, for March we're sold out. January we just had our best first month ever. Certainly, and June is starting to firm up very well with I think pricing that will probably be much less than would be typical erosion. Speaking on 2/08 at the Thomas Weisel Partners Technology and Telecom Conference Asia Pacific, March
15 Reasons to Expect A Strong 2H 10 1 Constrained HDD Supply through Late 2009: 2 Strong PC Demand Outlook for 2010: Corporate refresh; Windows 7; Attractive pricing due to 2009 ASP compression; 3 Potential Competitive Missteps: More difficult areal density transitions; More specialized products; e.g. Hitachi s lack of a 320 GB/platter 5,400 RPM notebook program; 4 Capital Constraints: Even though more capital is being allocated, those capital allocation levels are in-line with historical norms and likely below what is necessary given tight conditions in 09 and strong PC demand trends in 10; 5 Slowing Areal Density Growth: Slowing transitions as manufacturers struggle with yields are likely to place more pressure on the component supply chain.

23 Perceived Growth Potential ; Market Risk While Hard Drive market growth has always been primarily tied to PC growth, perceptions of additional market opportunity and market risk have changed. Potential Opportunities 2001 HDDs in every TV 2004 Smart Phone Penetration Potential Risks 2007 SSDs Asia Pacific, March
24 HDD Vendor Options Invest in SSD Development 1. Design an SSD everyone is moving on this path 2. Buy/subsidize Fab Capacity ala Apple 3. Own interntal NAND Production Samsung and Toshiba are already here. Should others follow? Rather concentrate on improving execution lifting gross/operating margin, cash generation, and cash balances; all factors which lift stocks if not multiples. Asia Pacific, March
25 Western Digital Sets an Example Asia Pacific, March
26 Conclusion Seasonally softer demand and longer term concerns have created attractive valuations for the HDD stocks As seasonality reverses, we anticipate strong industry trends through the 2 nd half should reverse the more recent stock deterioration and multiple contraction There is no simple solution to alleviating apparent investor concerns around longterm industry prospects, but execution will almost inevitably be rewarded.
