Semiconductor James Song james.song@dwsec.com Joon-ho Jang joonho.jang@dwsec.com What s new: Record 3Q earnings attest to strong crisis management capability Record-high 3Q13 earnings: delivered historic-high results for 3Q, posting revenue of W.8tr (+% QoQ, +9% YoY) and operating profit of W1.1tr (+5% QoQ; turning to profit YoY; OP margin of 8.5%). In 3Q, EBITDA margin was %, and cash holdings rose to W3.1tr. DRAM shipment inched down % QoQ, but NAND shipment grew 11% QoQ. DRAM ASP rose 5% QoQ, while NAND ASP fell % QoQ. Wuxi fire crisis management: What makes the 3Q record results more impressive is that the company managed to do so amidst the Wuxi fab fire. In particular, the chipmaker s decision to slash capacity for less-profitable NAND and ramp up DRAM production at its M1 line proved to be a smart move. Also, the company reduced its inventory assets to W1.15tr in 3Q from W1.tr in Q, taking advantage of the rally in PC DRAM prices. Catalyst: V-shaped earnings recovery in 1Q1; Soft landing for DRAM price Q13 forecast: Management aims to resume operation of the Wuxi fab by the end of November, but hinted that the delivery of certain equipment could be delayed. As such, a temporary deterioration in Q earnings appears inevitable. However, given management s guidance for Q DRAM bit growth (negative low-1% level), we believe the chipmaker will aggressively push ahead with: 1) DRAM production at the M1 line, ) continued inventory reductions, and 3) nm process migration. We thus expect decent Q earnings, with revenue of W3.tr and operating profit of Wbn. Raise 1Q1 estimates: There are widespread fears that DRAM prices will fall once the Wuxi fab comes back online. However, it should be noted that industry capacity growth will be limited. 1) plans to convert DRAM capacity at its M1 line to NAND immediately after the normalization of the Wuxi fab. ) It is also believed that Samsung Electronics (SEC) capacity addition (an estimated 3, wafers) will mostly be mobile DRAM for the company s internal demand. As such, we expect to display a V shaped earnings recovery in 1Q1, generating revenue of W3.9tr and operating profit of W985.bn. Valuation: Revise up 1F OP to W.tr, and raise TP by 13% to W3, Raise 1 estimates: We believe the global DRAM market is set to enter a Goldilocks period in 1, driven by: 1) minimal capacity expansion, ) inventory depletion following the Wuxi fab fire, and 3) increasing technological challenges of process migration. During this period, DRAM prices should become less volatile than before. We thus raised our 1 revenue projection to W1.7tr (+17% YoY) and our 1 operating profit estimate by 11% to W.tr (+9% YoY, OP margin of.3%). Lift TP to W3,: Currently, the stock is trading at 13-1F P/Bs of 1.95x and 1.9x, and 13-1F P/Es of 8.x and.3x, respectively. In comparison, Hynix s biggest foreign rival, Micron, is currently valued at US$18.1bn, or a 13F P/E of 15.5x. In light of our 1 upward earnings revisions and the upcoming Goldilocks phase for DRAM makers, we lift our target price on by 13% to W3, (1F P/B of.x) from W38,.

2 3Q13 earnings release feedback DRAM market to enter Goldilocks phase During its 3Q13 earnings call, stated that it aimed to resume operation of its Wuxi fab by the end of November, but hinted that the delivery of certain equipment could be delayed. Factoring in the DRAM capacity increased at the M1 line (an estimated, wafers), we expect DRAM capacity to decline roughly % in Q compared to pre-fire levels. Management guided respective Q DRAM and NAND bit growth in the negative low-1% level and negative mid-1% level. We thus expect the company to unload further inventory in Q to capitalize on soaring DRAM prices. The chipmaker s inventory assets declined to W1.15tr in 3Q. Although there are worries that the Wuxi fab s normalization will slow the upside momentum of DRAM prices and exacerbate supply/demand conditions, management stressed that its rivals capacity growth is modest, and that the Wuxi fab s resumption has been progressing at a slower than expected pace. In addition, once the Wuxi fab comes back online, the company plans to convert DRAM capacity at its M1 line to NAND. We believe the chipmaker s decision to slash capacity for less-profitable NAND in favor of DRAM at its M1 line underscores its strong crisis management capability. Hence, the PC and server DRAM market is likely to remain bullish in Q. Table 1. DRAM capacity before and after Wuxi fire (k wafers/m, k wafers/q) Oct. Nov. Dec. Q13 Jan. Feb. Mar. 1Q1 Before fire M Wuxi Total 8 8 After fire M Wuxi M1 1 5 Total QoQ -% % Source: estimates As for concerns of mobile DRAM prices falling in 1H1, the company stated that inventories were not that high, considering supply shortages at Chinese customers. The company expects mobile DRAM to remain in short supply through 1Q1, and thus projects only modest downside to prices. In 1, mobile DRAM demand is expected to increase to over % of overall DRAM demand, and 3GB (Gb*) chips are likely to become the standard mobile DRAM for high-end smartphones. Regarding DRAM technology migration, the company said Ynm is currently in production following the completion of development, and that it is currently developing Znm and plans to go into mass production in 1. In particular, the company cautioned that the migration to Znm will likely stall and cost significantly more. As such, DRAM bit growth next year is unlikely to be much higher than this year s mid-% level. Meanwhile, management stated that the company will start providing client samples of 3D NAND in 1H1, and begin mass production in H1. Capex plans for 1 have not yet been determined. With the global DRAM industry consolidated into essentially three suppliers, the Wuxi fab fire has significantly changed market dynamics by stabilizing DRAM supply/demand conditions. Furthermore, capacity growth after the fire is likely to be limited. As such, we expect the DRAM market to enter a Goldilocks phase in 1, during which prices become less volatile and major suppliers enjoy continued profits.
