J.P.Morgan North America Equity Research 03 Apra 2012 Apple Inc. Those Are Some Big Numbers; Lifting Dec-12 Price Target to $715 For OW-rated Apple, we are raising estimates and our Dec-I2 price target to $715, vs. $625 previously. The key drivers of our estimate changes are better than expected unit sales activity of the iPhone and iPad. The purpose of our report is to highlight the incremental changes in unit growth trajectories versus ow prior expectations. Looking ahead, there are plenty of potential near to mid-term catalysts, including I) MacBook refresh, 2) iPhone refresh, and 3) increasing penetration of Asia-Pacific. Longer term, we think that the eventual introduction of Microsoft Office for the iPad should open the door for Apple to the enterprise PC segment. • Taking numbers higher. We are making significant increases to our operating estimates. Our research indicates that the iPhone and iPad shipment activity in the supply chain implies major upside potential to ow previous estimates. We are not trying to inflate expectations ahead of the Mar-Q print. Our intent is to communicate the incremental delta in our new and old estimates as identified by our recent research. The magnitude of the revisions, if accurate, stands to drive increased investor sponsorship of the stock in the near to mid term, in our view. Big iPhone unit revisions. Our research indicates that Mar-Q iPhone unit shipments tracked closer to 30-32 million. Our new estimate is 31.1 million, versus 28.1 million previously. We think that investors are expecting 29-31 million units. The flow-through effects of our revisions lift our new C2012 iPhone units estimate to 138.2 million, versus 128.7 million previously. Big iPad unit revisions. Our research indicates that Mar-Q iPad unit shipments tracked closer to 13-14 million. Ow new estimate is 13.8 million, versus 10.1 million previously. We think that investors are expecting 11-12 million units. The flow-through effects of our revisions result in our new C2012 iPad units estimate moving to 69.6 million, versus 58.6 million previously. • MacBook refresh is important. We expect Apple to refresh its MacBook portfolio, including the Air, in the next three months. Our view is that the refresh needs to introduce incremental improvements in specs/features and lower price points. Reason being, the competitive gap could narrow if the Ultrabook crowd can reduce the price points with their second and third generation launches. Plus, we think that Apple needs to sustain its competitive edge on the technology front. Otherwise, it is our view that investors could worry that future Apple product refreshes (i.e., iPhone or iPad) could lose customer appeal. Apple Inc.

While the potential of an Apple TV has captivated the media and investment communities alike, we believe that another long-term catalyst to consider is Apple penetrating the enterprise PC segment. The company has limited exposure to the enterprise segment, which comprises approximately 40% of global PC units. Our view is that the eventual introduction of Microsoft Office for the iPad could open up the enterprise PC installed base to tablets, specifically, Apple's iPad. We further discuss this topic and more in this report. 2 EFTA01176431 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 [email protected] North America Equity Research 03 April 2012 Investment Thesis J.P.Morgan With Apple, we reiterate our Overweight rating and increase our Dec-12 price target to $715, versus $625 previously. The stock remains on the J.P. Morgan Analyst Focus List. In ow view, the best part of Apple's risk-reward profile is that plenty more upside potential exists, likely elevating Apple's revenue and earnings growth to a completely new orbit. In other words, Apple is in a league of its own. Key growth drivers include 1) Apple's low market penetration rates in tablets, PCs, China, and the enterprise, 2) the relative growth prospects of its key end markets versus other tech segments, and 3) Apple's role in enabling the burgeoning social media/networking adoption curve. In total, we believe that these drivers can sustain the relative outperformance of Apple's operating model and stock. Key Points Big iPhone unit revisions Our research indicates that Mar-Q iPhone unit shipments tracked closer to 30-32 million. Our new estimate is 31] million, versus 28.1 million previously. We think that investors are expecting 29-31 million units. The flow-through effects of our revisions lift our new C2012 iPhone units estimate to 138.2 million, versus 1283 million previously. While increasing penetration of new wireless carriers has been a major tailwind, we believe that the installed base also has become large enough to support a bigger replacement cycle. Looking ahead, our assumption is that a new iPhone 5 with a thinner body and LTE capability will be launched in 2H C2012, which should sustain the iPhone's above-peer growth trajectory. Big iPad unit revisions Our research indicates that Mar-Q iPad unit shipments tracked closer to 13-14 million. Our new estimate is 13.8 million, versus 10.1 million previously. We think that investors are expecting 11-12 million units. The flow-through effects of our revisions result in our new 02012 iPad units estimate moving to 69.6 million, versus 58.6 million previously. The Thew iPad" launch has driven increased follow-through in the supply chain over the past 30 days, and at this point, we think the trend-line is for bigger unit levels in the coming quarters. As stated previously, we believe that Apple's latest iPad refresh and broader price bands stand to widen the gap on the trailing peers. MacBook refresh is important We expect Apple to refresh its MacBook portfolio, including the Air, in the next three months. Ow view is that the refresh needs to introduce incremental improvements in specs/features as well as lower price points. Reason being, the competitive gap could narrow if the Ultrabook crowd can reduce the price points with their second and third generation launches. Plus, we think that Apple needs to sustain its competitive edge on the technology front. Otherwise, it is our view that investors could start to worry that future Apple product refreshes (i.e., iPhone or iPad) could lose customer appeal. We do point out that Apple's common user 3 EFTA01176432 Mark Moskowitz (1-415)315-6704 mark a.moskovolz@ipmoegan corn North America Equity Research 03 April 2012 J.P.Morgan interface across multiple devices has not been replicated by other vendors, yet, which we think remains a major advantage for Apple. Windows 8 (to be launched in October 2012) is trying to bridge this gap, but we think that it could take a few iterations before any compelling comparisons can be made. Longer-term catalyst: enterprise PCs While the potential of an Apple TV has captivated the media and investment communities alike, we believe that another catalyst to consider is Apple penetrating the enterprise PC segment. The company has limited exposure to the enterprise segment, which comprises approximately 40% of global PC units. Our view is that the eventual introduction of Microsoft Office for the iPad could open up the enterprise PC installed base to tablets, specifically, Apple's iPad. Currently, enterprise customers represent 5% to 6% of global tablet units, but we think that Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) programs are not likely captured in that figure. So, we assume that total tablet units could be closer to 10% enterprise related. In any event, the current figure is a long way from the 40% enterprise representation in PCs. With Microsoft Office, we think that tablets could evolve into productivity devices instead of just content-driven experiences, and thereby open up the 40% of global PCs to the tablet market for substitution, which we think would favor Apple given the absence of compelling tablet alternatives so far. Our latest CIO survey results (published on March 29) highlighted that enterprises continue to rank mobile device integration as a top investment priority relating to new projects. We believe that tablets and smartphones are part of this mobile device integration initiative, and again, tablets stand to gain greater traction once the Microsoft Office becomes available on tablets. Overall, we think that Apple stands to be a lead beneficiary of this emerging trend, given its product technology lead on both the hardware and software. A word on Apple and the TV market With respect to the much-discussed topic of Apple potentially entering the TV market, we do not have a strong view on the timing or the full extent of any product. Given the challenging economics of the TV market, we are inclined to think that Apple could first try entering the market with a set-top box that manages users' content and programming, thus extending the common interface of the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. We believe that this approach could help the company steer clear of the lean margins facing TV makers. Our research does not suggest any set-top box is in the demo or prototype stage. We also do not have any signposts of an actual TV product prototype, although the recent partnership of Hon Hai and Sharp has stirred media/investor speculation that Apple's largest contract manufacturer could be laying the foundation for an Apple TV supply chain. Here, we arc still on the sidelines, as it could be difficult for Apple to convince TV customers to pay the Apple premium when Sony, Sharp, and Samsung make highly-competent TVs, currently. 4 EFTA01176433 Mark Moskowitz (1-415)315-6704 mark [email protected] Summary financial model presented at the end of this report. North America Equity Research 03 April 2012 Earnings Outlook J.P.Morgan We are making significant increases to our operating estimates. Our research indicates that the iPhone and iPad shipment activity in the supply chain implies major upside potential to our previous estimates. We are not trying to inflate expectations ahead of the Mar-Q print. Our intent is to communicate the incremental delta in our new and old estimates as identified by our recent research. The magnitude of the revisions, if accurate, stands to drive increased investor sponsorship of the stock in the near to mid term, in ow view. For Mar-Q, ow revised revenue and EPS estimates are $39] billion and $10.80, versus $34.9 billion and $9.42 previously. Our revised gross and operating margin assumptions are 43.3% and 34.6%, versus 42.6% and 33.7% previously. A big driver is our revised iPhone unit shipments estimate of 31.1 million, versus 28.1 million previously. Our revised iPad unit shipments estimate is 13.8 million, versus 10.1 million previously. For both product families, the upward revisions are significant, driving our top-line and bottom-line estimates well above the Street consensus estimates of $35.7 billion and $9.77. Higher mix of iPhones also lifts gross margin. Table 1: Apple -J.P.

Apple is also on the J.P. Morgan Analyst Focus List and remains one of our top picks in ow coverage universe. Our price target is derived from a weighted blend of EV/EBITDA and P/E scenarios utilizing historical peak/trough multiples. With Apple, we think it is time for the "value stock" valuation multiples to be re-rated higher. Our revenue and EPS growth estimates position Apple as the lone star in large cap tech. Currently, Apple trades at 12.8x ow C2012 EPS estimate, versus the peer group average of I 2.3x. In our view, Apple is still trading like a value stock and not as the high-growth story in large cap tech. We expect Apple to continue outperforming on both top- and bottom-line growth metrics relative to the peers as the company's rapid growth phenomena of the iPhone and iPad intensify. Plus, do not forget about the Mac business, we think that the company's incremental market penetration opportunities can help the Mac become a major contributor to overall company growth in the coming years. 6 EFTA01176435 Mark Moskowitz (1-415) 315-6704 mark. a.moskowilz@jomorgan corn North America Equity Research 03 April 2012 Table 3: Apple Inc.

Should incremental weakness blunt end market demand more than expected or slow Apple's International and retail store expansion, then our view and estimates could be at risk. Competitive dynamics We assume that Apple will continue to outgrow the market in smartphones, tablets, and Pa. Should competitive responses in these three segments disrupt Apple's business, then our view could be at risk to the downside. Gross margin Our view assumes that Apple's gross margin profile hovers near the 39-40% threshold as component pricing eases and manufacturing yields on newer products improve. Should these dynamics not manifest, then our view and estimates could have risk to the downside. Rate of new product cycles We expect Apple to sustain its rigid cycle of new product refreshes. Should the company begin to slow in its technology improvements and frequency of refreshes, the company's image as a provider for leading-edge solutions could take a hit.
