J.PMorgan Apple F1Q Preview: Modest F1Q Beat, and Stronger Upside in F2Q as Supply Improves, Expect EPS Revisions to Drive Upside Apple shares are up +15% since the last eamings report, where it missed consensus revenue estimates on account of supply chain challenges, and is ‘outperforming the broader market (S&P), which is only up +3%, as expectations of an earnings upgrade eyele withthe majority of the tailwinds associated with the iPhone 13 eycle tracking better than investor expectations. We expect the ‘upcoming earnings print for Dee-Q (FIQ) to feature some of the headwinds from the slow supply chain ramp in relation to new products, which will limit the ‘magnitude of upside; although, we expect a modest beat nevertheless, led by beter iPhone shipments. That said, we expect the bigger driver ofthe earings upgrade cycle to be F2Q (March-end) revenue/EPS expectations, which will include {guidance for above seasonal iPhone revenue as the company achieves channel inventory balance later than in prior yew"'s and supply improves (2Phone builds ‘expected to track 62 mn in F2Q22 vs. $0 mn in F2Q21 and 37 mn in F2Q20), even as demand drivers remain strong. We forecast a modest beat on revenuc/earnings for F4Q, but an upgrade for estimates for future quarters driving our estimates t0 ‘be more materially above consensus for the full-year (FY22), While the recent ‘outperformance does ereate a tough hurdle in relation to expectations from the print itself, we believe investors will continue to justify the premium earings ‘multiple (30x) on expectations of further earnings upgrades, driving the shares higher with the positive outcome from a combination of a modest FIQ beat and a better outlook. ‘© iPhone revenue expected to be in line to modestly better for F1Q: Supply improvements to set stronger upside for F2Q. We are modestly tweaking our iPhone shipments to 83 mn units in FIQ (vs. 87 mn prior), slightly above consensus of 82 mn units which translates to revenue of $68.6 bn (vs. consensus of $67.7 bn). With supply continuing to improve and helping achieve desired channel inventories in line-to-higher than prior years, we see a more sizeable upside to F2Q where we are now forecasting shipments of 61.0 mn units in F2Q (vs. 37.0 mm prior), translating to revenue of $49.2 bn (vs, consensus $46.4 bn. ‘* Reduce iPad revenue on supply constraints, but still expect strong Products, revenues. While the iPhone revenucs are less impacted in F1Q by supply chain constraints, we do not expect Apple to side-step these challenges completely, particularly in relation to iPads where components were diverted to iPhones and suffered from long-lead times. © Forecast revenue/EPS materially ahead of consensus for F2Q and FY22. JPM forecasts FIQ revenue/EPS of $119 bn/SI.94 vs, consensus of $118 bn! $1.88; more material upside in F2Q, JPM forecasts revenue/EPS of $95 ‘ni $1.50 vs. consensus of $90 bn/S1.33. Higher magnitude of upside to consensus starting in F2Q, helped by improving supply, leads to greater upside for FY22: revenueEPS of $382 bn/S5.95 vs, consensus of $382 bal$5.73, North America Equity Research 18 January 2022 Overweight AAPL, AAPL US Price (12 dan 2): $178.53 Price Target (Dec-22): $210.00 Telecom & Networking EquipmentiIT Hardware ‘Samik Chatterjee, CFA *° (4-212)6220798 sami chetiree@jpmargen com LLP.

Economie conditions or shifting consumer demand could cause greater-than-expected deceleration or contraction in the handset and smartphone markets. This would negatively impact Apple’s prospects for growth, and the shares may fail to achieve our price target asa result, Increase in competitive pressures in international markets. Apple i increasingly participating in international markets, such as China and India, where local players, which are better situated, could leverage their position, and pull on levers such as pricing to make the market more competitive. In addition, tariffs enacted by local {governments may further hurt Apple’s ability to compete effectively in international markets Company-Specific Downside Risks Investment in new business strategies and acquisitions could be fruitless. Apple has historically invested in new business strategies and acquisitions. As such, success ‘on these investments has low visibility at this time and could lead to greater-than- expected liabilities and expense. Additionally, new investments could have a negative impact on current operations by distracting management, Key man risk around departure of chief executive officer. While risks related to departure of management executives appear considerably lower relative to the past, ‘we believe the execution on strategic priorities under CEO Tim Cook’s leadership sii present modest risk tothe share price although we see a strong group of ‘executives to support business performance without disruptions.
