Investment thesis Catalyst

The virtuous cycle of set-component synergy is set in motion
for Samsung, in our view. We expect Samsungs component
and set business to generate a positive feedback loop that
drives the growth of both segments. The addition of a cloud
platform should complement the Samsung ecosystem.
The two-year period (2014-15) of smartphone OP decline
appears to have come to an end, based on the results in
2016 to date, and we think Samsung has staged a strong
comeback we expect its smartphone OP to grow 52% y-y in
2016E. This should alleviate what we believe is a valuation
discount placed on smartphone earnings concerns.
Even if the smartphone segments profits stay flat y-y in 2016,
we think Samsungs OP could continue to grow throughout
our forecast horizon on the back of strong component profit
growth. Samsungs multi-year lead in flexible AMOLED, 3D
NAND, DRAM etc. should allow it to create a new category of
market demand, where it can enjoy above-industry
profitability for several years.
We think Samsung offers great flight to quality potential in
periods of significant macro uncertainty such as now.
We believe the biggest potential earnings swing factor is
Samsungs flagship smartphone performance. If its
smartphone models offer a differentiated user experience
that attracts consumers, like we expect, this could boost the
companys operating performance and share price.
Other potential catalysts are: 1) stronger-than-expected
operational performance of components (mainly driven by
3D-NAND and AMOLED); and 2) Samsungs continued
commitment to increasing shareholder returns, which could
re-rate the shares over the year.
Risk to our call
The single biggest downside risk is lacklustre flagship
Galaxy S/Note series sales, raising serious doubts as to the
sustainability of Samsungs smartphone profit. It could also
lead to a demand decline for components.
Further macroeconomic headwinds and industry saturation
could lead to IT/CE demand contraction.

Samsung Cloud serviced from Galaxy Note7

Ever since Apple launched the iCloud service in 2011, Samsung has tried to
introduce a matching cloud service. There was wide speculation that Samsungs S-
Cloud would be launched as early as 2012. The S-Cloud development effort was
reported to have bifurcated as projects outsourced to affiliated company Samsung
SDS (using the Citrix Xen server hyperviser on x86 servers), and Samsungs MSC
(Media Solution Center)-driven project of outsourcing to Amazon Web Service (AWS).
S-Cloud development was not smooth, and the project was eventually cancelled by
the MSC division head by end-2013. Without an in-house cloud service, Samsung
chose to pre-load third-party storage service apps such as Dropbox in its
smartphones. The MSC itself was broken up in 2014 after disputes with Google
(Samsung diminished the Android experience by replicating all of Googles core apps,
skin and services and pre-loading these in Galaxy phones).

Although it was becoming clear by then that smartphone hardware was rapidly being
commoditised, and that it is no longer enough for Samsung to remain a hardware
company but rather it needs to offer better software and services to avoid
commoditisation, Samsung failed to launch its own cloud service platform at its first
attempt. We think one of the key problems for Samsung was finding a scalable cost-
efficient solution, as the cloud service offered to its smartphone users was a free
service that does not really generate revenue. Samsung suffered a sharp
deterioration in its smartphone operation during 2014-2015 as its hardware-centric
business faced stiff competition.

With the launch of Note7 in August 2016, Samsung finally introduced Samsung
Cloud, where user data is backed up and synched with other Samsung devices. It is
similar to Apples iCloud, but not yet as refined. Samsung plans to continually
upgrade the Samsung Cloud and expand the service to other Galaxy phone line-ups.
Samsung is about five years behind Apple in its cloud service offering, but we think
Samsung Cloud has the potential to scale up very rapidly thanks to the cost-efficient
and scalable cloud solution of Joyent, which Samsung acquired in April 2016.

The rapid rise of Docker Container over traditional Virtual Machine

One of the key enabling technologies for clouds multi-tenancy (accommodating a

broad class of users and applications) is virtualisation. Traditionally, the most popular
and default mechanism for virtualisation method has been VM (Virtual Machine), a
hardware virtualization technology using hypervisor. The hypervisor is required to
create and run VMs and each VM requires a full copy of the OS, applications being
run, and supporting libraries. The VMs provide a high level of isolation and security
as all communication between the guest and host is through the hypervisor.

Despite the merits of VM, the technology also had its drawbacks, which led to the
rapid rise of container technology, most well represented by Docker. The VMs can
be heavy and not very efficient, as each VM needs to have its own OS and libraries
overhead. And due to the layers of hardware emulation, the performance is slower
than it would be if the applications were run directly from the bare metal (physical
server itself).

The containers employ a much lighter virtualisation method than VMs. Instead of
virtualising the hardware like a VM (which requires full virtualised OS images for
each VM guest), containers virtualise the OS itself, sharing the host OS kernel and
its resources with both the host and other containers. The containers are the product
of OS virtualisation, and provide a lightweight virtual environment (VE). It removes
the hardware emulation overhead problem of VM.

The containers can be an OS container and application container. While OS

containers are designed to run multiple isolated processes and services on a single
host, application containers are designed to package and run single services.

Exhibit 1: VM architecture vs container architecture

Source: Gartner

The Docker is the most popular application container. Docker containers encapsulate
applications in a complete self-contained filesystem that has everything it needs to
run instead of just a base user space image of LXC (Linux Containers), on which
Docker was originally built.

Packaging an application in a container with its own configuration and dependencies

guarantees that the application in the Docker container will always work the same in
any environment the software code that works on developers notebooks will also
work in the actual production environment (cloud server).

This is great news for both developers and cloud operators. Thanks to the portability
and isolation of a Docker container, developers can reduce the iterative development
cycle and readily share and collaborate with others. They do not have to spend
enormous amounts of time setting up configurations for different computing
environments. Operations can just focus on hosting and orchestrating containers.
The developer community fully embraced Docker, which led to the very fast uptake of
the technology.

Exhibit 3: Docker container vs VM

VM Docker

Source: Docker

The containers work particularly well when deployed in a distributed, multi-

component system using the microservices architecture both share a lightweight
nature. Microservices are software systems that are built out of small, independent
components that interact with one another over the network. Microservices are
designed to scale out, where extra demand is handled by provisioning multiple
machines/containers over which the load can be spread. Compared with VMs,
containers are much smaller in size and faster to deploy, The microservice in a
container uses minimal resources and reacts rapidly to changes in demand. The
Docker takes a sub-second launch time vs one to ten minutes for a VM package
provisioned to a server. As VMs do not scale dynamically, operations tend to over-
provision the capacity leading to lower efficiency.

However, unlike VMs, the Docker container suffers security issues. While the
hypervisor enforces proper separation of multiple VM tenants (a successful attack on
the OS of one VM does not lead to a breach of other VM), the Docker containers
share a common host OS (which provides the isolation) and a successful attack on
one container could expose all other containers that share the common host OS.

The compromised solution is putting Docker containers in VM. In this case,

developers can continue to use the merits of Docker (fast development to production
cycle); however, a major penalty is the degraded performance due to the complexity
of the architecture. This is what most cloud service providers such as Amazon,
Microsoft, Google, etc provide though.

Joyent Advanced CaaS (Container as a Service) cloud platform

Joyents Triton datacentre solution is a container-native infrastructure. It is a

container-as- a-service platform.

Joyents SmartOS is designed to be particularly suitable for cloud. Among many of its
features is Zones, a very robust OS level virtualisation technology. Zones technology
comes from Solaris, a UNIX OS originally developed by Sun Microsystems. This
technology was released as Solaris Container in the Solaris 10 in 2005. Zones act as
completely isolated virtual servers within a single OS. Back then, Sun Microsystems
made the OS container to justify expensive Sun workstations and server systems.

Sun open-sourced its Solaris code in its OpenSolaris until it was acquired by Oracle
in 2010. The illumos, a free and open-source UNIX OS, derives from OpenSolaris,
and SmartOS is one of illumos distributions. The CTO of Joyent, Bryan Cantrill,
worked at Sun and later at Oracle before joining Joyent. Not surprisingly, most of the
key Solaris OS features (ZFS, DTrace, Crossbow, etc) are in SmartOS.

As Zones are a very robust OS-level virtualisation technology, if the Docker container
is used within Zones, the security concern would be removed. However, there were
major technical challenges at first. The SmartOS is a UNIX OS and the Docker is a
Linux-borne technology.

A breakthrough came when a member of the illumos community helped revive LX-
branded zones, an old Sun project that provided Linux emulation in a zone. The
SmartOSs LX-brand zones can now provide a runtime for most modern Linux
distributions, including Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Alpine etc.

For running the Docker daemon, Joyent chose to implement a new SmartDataCenter
(cloud management solution) service to provide a Docker Remote API endpoint,
instead of heavily modifying the Docker daemon.

Joyent named SmartOS + LX-branded zones + SmartDataCenter + Docker as

Triton. Triton is a container-native infrastructure. As the Docker container can run on
a secure OS container, it is far more efficient than running containers on a VM. As
the Docker container can run directly from bare metal in Triton, the performance is
much better than a Docker container run out of a VM.

The ability to provision additional resources elastically when needed is a key value in
cloud computing. Companies can spin up more VMs to scale up during usage peaks
and back down when usage declines. However, VMs have some limitations. As the
VMs have their own guest OS, it takes time to boot the OS in each VM, and
companies tend to over-provision VM as they cannot rapidly be provisioned. Also,
each VM takes up a fixed amount of resources.

In the Triton cloud architecture, Docker containers can be launched instantly, and
scale up very elastically. Resource utilisation improves as there is no need for over-
provisioning.

Triton abstracts hardware more fully than conventional VM architecture, presenting a

pool of hardware resources rather than resource slices. Triton can virtualise the
entire datacentre as a single Docker host.

Thanks to the elastic scalability, bare-metal performance and high resource

utilisation of Triton, we believe Samsung can roll out cloud services at fraction of the
cost of its peers. We would expect Samsung to rent out datacenter collocation
facilities in major geographies for running its own cloud in the next several years,
thanks to the acquisition of Joyents advanced technology, instead of building out
large and expensive datacenters that could cost billions of USD.

Offering services such as Samsung Cloud to Galaxy smartphone users does not
generate revenue, but incurs running costs. We believe it is a necessary service to
better attract and lock-in consumers, but Samsung also has to be mindful of service
costs, in our view.

We also expect Samsung to centralise its various IoT cloud service to its own hosted
servers in datacentre collocation facilities, instead of running out of third party
solutions such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure etc.

ARTIK Cloud for IoT platform

Separately, Samsung also announced the launch of ARTIK Cloud in April 2016,
which is an open data exchange platform to connect all devices (IoT).There were
various IoT initiatives across many business units at Samsung before every activity
was converged to ARTIK in 2016.

SAMI and Simband digital healthcare

SAMI stands for Samsung Architecture Multimodal Interactions, and its a cloud-
based data exchange platform enabling sensors, apps and services to communicate
using a standard set of APIs. SAMI is an open system that works for all types of
sources, from digital health and wearables to smart homes and smart cars.

Simband is Samsungs research platform for a digital health device. It consists of a

wearable device running Tizen OS and a wristband connector that holds a custom
sensor module to provide data like heart rate, calories burned and
electrocardiograms. Simband is designed to be modular and allows different sensor
modules to be installed. Simband uses SAMI to store data in the cloud for processing.

SmartThings IoT for a smart home

2014 was busy year, with consumer IoT platform announcements by big IT
companies. Google bought NEST for USD3.2b. Apple also announced Homekit,
which is Apples framework for home automation.

After announcing SAMI and Simband in May 2014, Samsung also acquired
SmartThings for about USD200m in August 2014. SmartThings has an open platform
for smart homes and the consumer Internet of Things. SmartThings makes a
gateway, cloud platform, and client applications. Prior to the acquisition of
SmartThings, Samsung also had its own smart home platform, which was replaced
by the SmartThings platform.

ARTIK modules for IoT

In May 2015, Samsung announced ARTIK modules, which are base components for
IoT devices. ARTIK modules come in several sizes and capabilities to meet the
specific requirements of a wide range of devices, from wearables and home
automation to smart lighting, industrial applications, etc. It is a complete computer
with onboard memory, storage, communications and sensors. The bigger modules
tend to have more capabilities and connectivity options.

Samsung ARTIK platform

Samsung has been setting up the building blocks of IoT, and in April 2016 it launched
ARTIK Cloud, Samsungs commercial IoT platform. ARTIK Cloud, along with the
ARTIK modules, enables faster and simpler development of new IoT applications.
ARTIK is the end-to-end, integrated IoT platform. It encompasses every Samsung
IoT effort, from hardware to software to data hosting and processing. All previous IoT
initiatives have become a part of ARTIK.

Building out cloud platform the third arrow

We believe Samsungs buildout of its robust Samsung Cloud platform would

complement its existing businesses, especially Galaxy smartphone, where it had
hardware and marketing strength, but lagged behind peers in cloud services.

Hardware and design: Samsung is in a position to drive disruptive changes in

hardware and bring new breeds of differentiated convergence devices thanks to
its strong lead in enabling component technologies (Future mobile devices (2017-
20) and enablers, 10 July 2016). As the new technologies are first mass adopted
in Samsungs flagship phones, they will have the potential to set its phones apart
from competition.

Marketing and brand: Samsung is a formidable marketing machine and it has

become ever more effective and efficient in its marketing activities. We think
Samsungs new strategy of maintaining its Galaxy phone price during its product
cycle (like iPhone) would increase re-sale value of its phone, and generate more
telco promotions for its devices (trade-in, early-upgrade) (Used phones leading to
further bipolarization (8 June 2016)

App, content, cloud ecosystem: The once large lead of app/content ecosystem of
iOS has been neutralized as Android now commands larger number of apps in
app store, more app downloads, and rich content from various content providers.
The addition of robust Samsung Cloud service to Galaxy phone users is yet
another attraction on top of other differentiated services and features from
Samsung (Samsung Pay, KNOX, Gear/VR, Note etc.) that can better lock-in
customers.

The ARTIK cloud initiatives on IoT would still need several years to become a
meaningful revenue generator, in our view. However, when the IoT market takes off
in earnest, we believe Samsung is in a good position to fully leverage the opportunity
given its readiness in all end-to-end building blocks of IoT from silicon to IoT cloud
service.

The virtuous cycle of set-component-platform synergy is set in motion, which will

have positive feedback loop, in our view. We reiterate our BUY rating with a SoTP-
based TP of KRW2,030,000. Our TP equates to 1.53x 2017E P/B, which is slightly
above the 1.48x average of 2007-2016YTD historical P/B trend. Stronger-than-
expected macroeconomic headwinds and resulting deterioration in end demand
could increase earnings uncertainty and are the main risks to our TP.

RECOMMENDATION STRUCTURE
Stock Ratings
Stock ratings are based on absolute upside or downside, which we define as (target price* - current price) / current price.
BUY (B). The upside is 10% or more.
HOLD (H). The upside or downside is less than 10%.
REDUCE (R). The downside is 10% or more.
Unless otherwise specified, these recommendations are set with a 12-month horizon. Thus, it is possible that future price volatility may cause a
temporary mismatch between upside/downside for a stock based on market price and the formal recommendation.
* In most cases, the target price will equal the analyst's assessment of the current fair value of the stock. However, if the analyst doesn't think the market will
reassess the stock over the specified time horizon due to a lack of events or catalysts, then the target price may differ from fair value. In most cases, therefore, our
recommendation is an assessment of the mismatch between current market price and our assessment of current fair value.
