SUMMARY

3-5 Yr. EPS Gr. Rate 11% Our recent checks have uncovered several tidbits about Apple's forthcoming tablet.
52-Wk Range $208.71-$78.20 First, it appears Apple will begin ramping production in earnest in February,
Shares Outstanding 914.0M implying that the tablet could launch in late March or April (barring production
hiccups). Our checks also suggest that the tablet's display will be a 10.1" LTPS
Float 901.0M
based LCD screen, not an OLED display as some have suggested. Finally, contacts
Market Capitalization $170,846.1M in the US indicate Apple has been actively reaching out to book publishers with a
Avg. Daily Trading Volume 18,456,758 very attractive proposal for distributing their books on a forthcoming ebook platform
Dividend/Div Yield NA/NM (presumably the tablet). We have not updated our model to reflect the tablet but
Fiscal Year Ends Sep believe it could easily contribute $0.50-$0.75 in incremental EPS in C2H10.
Book Value $30.44 KEY POINTS

■ Our checks into Apple's supply chain indicate that the manufacturing cogs for
LT Debt $0.0M
the tablet are creaking into action and should begin to hit a mass market stride
Preferred $0.0M in February. At this stage Apple appears to be sizing its supply chain to support
Common Equity $27,832M production of as many as 1M units per month.
Convertible Available No
■ The February ramp schedule suggests a late March or April commercial

2007A 1.14 0.87 0.92 1.01 3.93 48.3x going live. Our checks also indicate that the device will have a 10.1" multi-touch
display using LTPS LCD technology (as on the iPhone), not OLED.
2008A 1.76 1.16 1.19 1.26 5.36 35.4x
2009A 1.78 1.33 1.35 1.82 6.29 30.2x ■ Contacts in the US tell us Apple is approaching book publishers with a very
2010E 2.17 1.91 2.10 2.21 8.39 22.6x attractive proposal for distributing their content. Apple will split revenue 30/70
(Apple/publisher); give the same deal to all comers; and not request exclusivity.
We believe the typical Kindle/publisher split is 50/50, rising to 30/70 if Kindle is
given ebook exclusivity.
■ As innovative as it is, we believe the Kindle has disgruntled the publishing
industry (book, newspaper, and magazine) by demanding exclusivity,
disallowing advertising, and demanding a wolfish cut of revenue. The tablet is
set to change that. It should also make ebooks more relevant for education by
simplifying functions such as scribbling marginalia.
■ We have not adjusted our model to show the impact of the tablet, but we believe
it will be substantial. Conservatively assuming 1M-1.5M units per quarter at an
ASP of $1,000 and a corporate average net income margin of 22%, the tablet
could contribute $0.25-$0.38 of incremental EPS per quarter.

Price Target Calculation

Our price target of $235 is derived by applying our 18x multiple to our FY10E non-GAAP operating EPS of $10.96 and adding back $37
per share in cash. The 18x target is well below Apple's five-year average P/E of 29x and discounts the possibility of continued economic
uncertainty and increased competition across Apple's product lines. We have shifted our valuation metric to pro forma earnings from free
cash flows for several reasons: Apple investors are accustomed to valuing the company based on earnings rather than cash flows;
Apple's pro forma earnings are a better measure of the Apple's fundamental performance than GAAP measures; and recent changes in
FASB revenue recognition rules mean that Apple's GAAP numbers could strongly resemble our non-GAAP numbers starting in FY10.

Key Risks to Price Target

Risks to our price target include further weakening of consumer demand; increased competition from Apple's traditional PC hardware
and software rivals as well as from new competitors in the wireless handset market; the potential for large, unexpected increases in
component costs, which could negatively impact margins; slower than anticipated acceptance of the iPhone or reduced subsidization by
wireless service providers; Apple's potential inability to gain PC market share in line with our expectations; and a sudden change in
leadership.
