Hon Hai Precision Industry is the Taiwanese manufacturer that makes everything from PCs for Hewlett-Packardto cell phones for Nokia and Playstation 2 game consoles for Sony. Hon Hai, which consistently ranks high in BusinessWeek's Info Tech 100, has been closing the gap on its big North American electronics rivals and now boasts the title of No. 1 electronics manufacturer worldwide. While many Taiwanese companies are enjoying topline growth but suffering from slumping profits, Hon Hai remains an earnings machine. Anafysts expect 2005 profits to rise 24% to $1.2 billion. The company's New York-traded ADRs are up 74% since last June -- at a time when the stock prices of many other Taiwanese electronics makers have languished. Hon Hai employs about 100,000 people in China alone, and publicity-shy chairman Terry Gou isn't just counting on a presence there. in May, the company took control of an Australian plant from HP. In 2003, it bought Motorola's mobile phone factory in Chihuahua, Mexico. And now it has purchased a big piece of land for its new North American headquarters in Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Tex.

HON HA1 PRECISION INDUSTRY

SWOT ANALYSIS
Hon Hai is one of the largest manufacturers of connectors and cable assemblies in the world. Its manufacturing operations are based in Taiwan and mainland China. It has also set up production facilities in Europe and the US. The company's global production network gives it a competitive advantage. Intense competition, however, could adversely affect the company's market share.

I Opportunities
Increasing mobile phone sales Rising demand for LCD monitors Expanding PC market in U S

I Threats
Intense competition Slowdown in U S and Eurozone Increasing copper prices

I

Strengths
Global production network Hon Hai has a global production network. Its principal manufacturing operations are based in Taiwan and mainland China. Hon Hai established its China operations in 1993, over seven years before any of its competitors, and gradually established operations in Beijing and Kunshan for its wireless business. The company has also set up production facilities in Europe and the US. The company is now in the process of setting up new production facilities in Ireland, and is also considering Central America as a production center. Hon Hai 's global production network gives it a competitive advantage. Strong returns The company has recorded strong returns in recent years. Its return on average assets, return on investments and return on average equity for the period 2001-2005 were 12.5%, 24%, and 26.9%, respectively, much higher than the industry averages of 2.2%, 3.3% and 7.2%. Competitive returns compared to the industry average

further strengthens the company's market position and increases the investor confidence. Patent portfolio Hon Hai's patents portfolio provides protection and an entry barrier for potential competitors. Hon Hai has applied for 17,000 intellectual property rights worldwide and owns more than 10,000 connector and cable patents worldwide. Hon Hai is the leader in terms of both the number of patent applications and approved patents in Taiwan in fiscal 2005. The company submitted 1,886 applications for patents and received approval for 1,018 patents in 2005. Patent portfolio provides Hon Hai with a strong competitive advantage.

Weaknesses
Dependence on few customers Hon Hai is dependent on a small number of companies for a majority of its sales. Its major clients for full-service components include Dell, Hewlett Packard, Intel, Acer, Apple, UTStarcom, Cisco, Sony and IBM. Hon Hai's revenue and earnings depend largely on the business performance of these large customers. For example, slower than expected uptake of LGA775 CPU socket, market share loss and inventory problem at UTStarcom, and the rise in inventory at Cisco adversely impacted Hon Hai's earnings in the second half of 2004. Heavy dependence on a few customers increases business risk. Declining margins Over the past five years, the company's operating and net profit margin have declined. The company's operating margin and net profit margin declined from 9.2% and 8.5%, respectively, in 2001 to 5.3% and 4.5% in 2005. The company often resorts to price cuts to secure new orders. However, Hon Hai is unable to bring down costs at the same pace, resulting in lower margins. This inability to control costs could adversely affect its financial performance.

Opportunities
Increasing mobile phone sales Annual mobile phone sales are expected to reach one billion in 2009. The Asia Pacific region accounted for one in four mobile phones in fiscal 2005. This proportion is expected to increase to one in three in fiscal 2009. China and India alone will account

for nearly 200 million units in 2007, with the Indian market surpassing China in 2009 to reach 139 million units. A positive regulatory environment, affordable services and increased geographic penetration of networks will drive mobile penetration in India. Hon Hai, engaged in manufacturing handsets for original equipment manufacturers such as Nokia and Motorola, would benefit from growing sales of mobile phones. Rising demand for LCD monitors Worldwide demand for liquid crystal display (LCD) products is expected to reach 36 million units in 2006. Hon Hai, through affiliate Innolux, manufactures LCD monitors. So far the demand for LCD monitors has been largely limited to developed markets. In the coming years, however, a large share of demand for LCD monitors is likely to come from emerging markets such as India and China. In these countries, economic growth is boosting personal incomes, which is boosting PC penetration levels. With strong operations in the Asia Pacific, Hon Hai is likely to benefit from growing demand for LCD monitors. Expanding PC market in US The demand for personal computers is increasing in the US. The consumer PC market is expected to grow at a rate of 8.4% in 2006 and 10% in 2007. The corporate PC market is projected to grow 5.9% in 2006 and 7.8% in 2007. The expanding PC market in the US provides an opportunity for the company to further expand its PC enclosures business.

Threats
Intense competition Han Hoi faces intense competition in most of the markets it operates in. In the desktop PCs and notebook PCs markets, the company competes with Asustek, Mitac, Quanta, Compal, Wistron, Inventech, among others. Its consumer electronics, handsets and networking business also faces stiff competition from Alpha network, Accton, Taiwan Green point, Molex and Inventec. All of these companies are powerful organizations with worldwide distribution setups and a large financial base. Intense competition can adversely affect the company's market share. Slowdown in US and Eurozone The US has seen 16 successive interest rate hikes over the past few years leading to the current high of 5%. Inflation fears in US may lead to another raise in the shortterm. According to International Monetary Fund's World Economic Outlook 2005, the

US real GDP growth could fall from 3.5% in 2005 to 3.3% in 2006. In the Eurozone, any additional interest rate increase could halt an economic recovery that just started in the last half of 2005. The US and Eurozone are key markets for the company. A slowdown in the US and Eurozone economy would lead to reduced demand for the company's services due to reduced corporate spending.

Increasing copper prices The price of copper, a key raw material, for manufacturing electronic products has increased sharply in recent years. Copper prices have increased by five times (as of May 2005), compared with 2001 levels. During the first five months of 2006, copper prices have risen sharply by over 77%. The company uses copper extensively in its products. Continued increase in copper prices would adversely affect the company's cost structure.

An EMS conglomerate. Hon Hai Precision (Hon Hai), who recently have improved its relationship, from OEM to partner, with HPQ and was reported to receive Sony's PSP and Dell's printer orders, has been Taiwan's largest electronics manufacturing service (EMS) provider. Its main customers are mostly the leaders in their respective areas. Successful vertical integration. Hon Hai was able to maintain its first-tier status in EMS through the successful vertical integration, which lowers its cost and increases its market share. The company has four main divisions, Hon Hai (PC, consumer electronics, WiFi), Foxconn (handset, wireless communication), Foxconn Technology (casing, cooler), and lnnolux (panel), covering from upstream components to end products. Targeting for NT$I trillion sales in 2007. Hon Hai expects the group's sale momentum will come from consumer electronics, wireless communication, and printer assembling. Hon Hai's merit of speed, flexibility, and cost-down ability, allows the company to mass produce trendy consumer electronics, such as iPod and PSP, in a timely basis. The company further plans to set up PDA operation and printer assembling operation, respectively, in its wireless communication department and PC business.

Hold. Hon Hai historically has been traded between 2.7-4.8~ PBR and 11.520.5~PER. Due to 1) the successful vertical integration, 2) robust sales growth, and 3) promising Foxconn Technology outlook, we estimate a consolidated 2005 sales revenue of NT$741.47 billion, up 36.9% YoY. However, as 1) EMS industry approaching the peak, 2) the YoY sales momentum begins to slow down, sliding from 56% in 1H05 to 40% in 2H05, and 3) lack of near-term price catalyst, we believe the recent surging stock price has already reflected the market. Therefore, we have a Hold recommendationfor Hon Hai and conclude a target price of NT$164 based on a conservative PER of 15x our 2005E EPS of NT$10.9, implying a 4.09% downside potential.

Investment Keynotes
Company background
Hon Hai Precision (Hon Hai), who recently have improved its relationship, from OEM to partner, with HPQ and was reported to receive Sony's PSP and Dell`s printer orders, has been Taiwan's largest electronics manufacturing service (EMS) provider. its main customers are mostly the leaders in their respective areas. For example, Hon Hai does PC EMS for Dell, HPQ, and Acer, communication EMS for Cisco, Nokia, and Motorola, and consumer electronics for Apple and Sony. Hon Hai's major competitor, Flextronics, was recently reported to seek cooperation with Taiwan's ODM companies. We believe this should only have a limited impact, if any, on Hon Hai`s current sales, and future sales influence should be clarified starting from 2006.

Figure 2: Hon Hai's supply chain

Roadmap to NT$1 trillion sales in 2007
Hon Hai expects the group's sale momentum to come from consumer electronics, wireless communication, and printer assembling. The company, especially, is optimistic with the outlook of the trendy consumer electronics products, such as iPod, mac Mini, and PSP. Hon Hai's merit of speed, flexibility, and cost-down ability, allows the company to enter mass production in a timely basis. As a result, Hon Hai was able to meet the requirement for Apple and Sony's latest hits. Furthermore, Hon Hai has begun to join develop the next generation consumer electronics with both companies. We have high hopes and expect big growing potentials from this field. Hon Hai's wireless communication business started a new PDA operation due to the growing demand in WiFi (Wireless Fidelity). With Chi Mei Communication's handset design ability and Hon Hai's experience in PC integration, the new PDA operation will focus on the R&D in wireless communication. Meanwhile, Hon Hai's PC business will thrive in the upcoming seasons. In addition to its new NB assembling operation, which receives great feedbacks, a brand new printer assembling operation is underway in 2006. Furthermore, based on Hon Hai's current scale in various types of PC-used connector productions, we estimate its global market share will continue to grow and reach 15% in 2007.

Successful vertical integration
Hon Hai was able to maintain its first-tier status in EMS through the successful vertical integration, which lowers its cost and increases its market share. Currently, the company has four main divisions, covering from upstream components to end products. Foxconn Electronics (2038 HK, HK$5.45, NR), who has recently acquire 56% of Chi Mei Communication System, Inc. (unlisted), will focus on handset and wireless communication development. Innolux (unlisted), a LCD panel maker, will supply 40% of the panel demand in the group. Although market rumored Hon Hai may acquire other LCD panel makers, the company indicated it would rather focus on the vertical integration for LCD upstream components, especially in backlight module. The third branch, Foxconn Technology (2354 TT, NT$123.50, Hold), who recently has significant gain in market share, will produce the aluminum alloy case and the thermal solution for the group's products. Finally, the holding company of all, Hon Hai, will specialize in PC and consumer electronics products manufacturing.

Valuations and recommendation
Hon Hai historically has been traded between 2.7-4.8~ PBR and 11.5-20.5~ PER. Due to 1) the successful vertical integration, 2) robust sales growth, and 3) promising Foxxconn Technology outlook, we estimate a consolidated 2005 sales revenue of NT$741.47 billion, up 36.9% YoY. However, as 1) EMS industry approaching the peak, 2) the YoY sales momentum begins to slow down, sliding from 56% in I E to 40% in H 2H05, and 3) lack of near-term price catalyst, we believe the recent surging stock price has already reflected the market. Therefore, we have a Hold recommendation for Hon Hai and conclude a target price of NT$I 64 based on a conservative PER of 15x our 2005E EPS of NT$10.9, implying a 4.09% downside potential.

Foxconn Technology leads the way
We believe Foxconn Technology will play the leading role in Hon Hai group's performance. Foxconn Technology's sales momentum comes from the growth in thermal solution and aluminum alloy case. For the thermal solution operation, the company is likely be the cooling solution provider for Intel, who purchases CPU connectors and reference design from Hon Hai. Moreover, Foxconn Technology plans to lower its cost by strengthening vertical integration, especially in heat column cooler and other major components. We expect the effort for cost-down will start to pay off in late 2005. Secondly, affer achieving a significant market share in desktop heat sink, the company has begun shipping NB heat sink in 2005 at a 10 million units range. We estimate the NB heat sink shipment will continue to grow in 2006. Foxconn Technology's aluminum alloy case operation also expects a strong outlook. In addition to the current main customers Sony, Toshiba, and IBM, all of whom does NB assembling through Hon Hai, more aluminum alloy case orders are scheduled to begin shipment in 2Q05. Further sales in NB- and projector- used aluminum alloy case are also expected to jump in 2H05. The demand for aluminum alloy case, which are also applied to handset, Nintendo, and consumer electronics, are expected to surge due to its merit of environmental friendly metal and fashionable sense. As a result, Hon Hai has begun to construct a production base in Taiyuen, Shanxi Providence, China, and will focus on the vertical integration in upstream materials. The goal is to reduce the price gap between the metal case and the plastic case to US$3, which should speed up the replacement cycle and drive further demand in aluminum alloy cases.
