The DB IT Hardware takeaway Research Analyst
AAPL reported Jun-qtr rev/EPS that significantly beat Street estimates by +1-415-617-2923

quarter guidance once again. While such a decision could be interpreted as a sign Research Analyst
of uncertainty, AAPL did provide more segment commentary and guided to select +1-415-617-3268
line items moreso within their control (tax, opex, OI&E) perhaps signaling they are
on a path toward a normalized guidance practice next quarter. Overall, the positives Key changes
outweigh the (minor) negatives in the quarter, and we suspect that AAPL's 400.00 to

confidence that such trends simply continue into the Sept-qtr could understate the 440.00
reality that they could in fact strengthen, driven in our view by Mac, iPad, global EPS (USD) 11.89 to 12.91 ↑ 8.6%

in our view given the present macro environment. Negatives: 1) AAPL's repurchase Free float (%) 100
incrementally slowed q/q (though this was more algorithmic in nature); 2) Product Source: Deutsche Bank
GM% came in below 30% for the first time since AAPL began to disclose the metric,
a dynamic that could worry investors; 3) AAPL once again did not provide revenue/
GM guidance, which could signal uncertainty (an interesting dynamic since
upstream component companies continue to provide guidance).

Jun-20 report
AAPL reported Jun-20 results significantly above expectations with revenues/EPS
of $59.7b/$2.58 vs. Street at $52.3b/$2.07 and DBe at $51.9b/$1.97. Gross margin
came in at 38.0% vs. Street/DBe at 38.0%/38.5%. Product GM was 29.7% (DBe
29.3%), while Services GM was 67.2% (DBe 65.5%). Operating margin came in at
21.9% vs. Street/DBe at 19.4%/19.6%, and opex came in at $9.6b. By segment,
iPhone came in at $26.4b (-9% q/q, +2% y/y), iPad came in at $6.6b (+51% q/q,

(-1% q/q, +15% y/y), and Wearables came in at $6.5b (+3% q/q, +17% y/y).

Sept-20 guidance
For the Sept-20 quarter, AAPL did not provide typical guidance. We note that prior
Street/DBe revenues stood at $55.5b/$61.7b, Street/DBe GM% at 38.2%/38.5%,
Street/DBe OpEx at $9.4b/$9.8b, Street/DBe OM% at 23.0%/21.5% and Street/DBe
EPS at $2.78/$2.33 prior. AAPL provided some segment commentary and guided
several line items: 1) iPhone's strong performance should continue in Sept-qr,
though new iPhones will not impact September as in years past; 2) Services is
expected to see similar trends observed in Jun-qtr, except Apple Care; 3) iPad/Mac/
Wearables "strong y/y performance"; 4) OpEx $9.8-$9.9b; 5) tax rate 16.5%; 6) OI&E
$50m. By segment, we adjust our iPhone assumptions to $26.9b ($23.1b prior),
iPad assumptions to $6.6b ($4.3b prior), Mac assumptions to $7.4b ($6.9b prior),
Services assumptions to $14.4b ($14.4b prior), and Wearables assumptions to
$7.1b ($6.9b prior).

Our revised estimates


As a result of the quarter and guide, we revise our Sept-20 quarter revenue/EPS
estimates to $62.3b/$2.74 vs. $55.5b/$2.33 DBe prior and Street at $61.7b/$2.78.
While we had expected flatter q/q trends into the Sept-qtr in anticipation of a push-
out of new iPhone launches (which do have a material impact on the last week of
sales for AAPL in September), AAPL's upside to the Jun-qtr meant that our Sept-qtr
estimates also require a higher base. Our relatively flat q/q logic continues to apply
(DBe +4.5% q/q). As a result of our changes and looking over a longer time frame,
our CY20E revenue/EPS estimates move to $270b/$12.72 vs. our prior estimates at
$251b/$11.28 and Street at $269b/$12.35. Looking another year out, our CY21E
revenue/EPS estimates move to $323b/$17.17 vs. our prior estimates at $313b/
$16.39 and Street at $304b/$15.76.

Valuation and P/T


Our new $440 P/T remains based upon a 25x CY21E P/E multiple, which stands in-
line with large-cap technology peers. We see such a valuation as elevated vs.
AAPL's past but fair vs. peers when we compare AAPL's total growth potential and
earnings power with the growth expectations of the peer group. With steady gross
and operating margins and a solid balance sheet, we see the potential reward from
stock outperformance as skewed positively when compared to the company's risk
profile.

Capital return analysis


AAPL returned $15.9b through share repurchases in the quarter, while they
returned $3.7b through dividends through their $0.82/share dividend. Share
repurchases accounted for 108% of FCF, while dividends accounted for 25% of FCF.
Due to AAPL’s revenue and profit seasonality, quarterly capital returns may
sometimes exceed quarterly FCF. AAPL does not have an annual shareholder return
target but generally targets achieving a net cash neutral position over time. AAPL
has historically returned ~80% of FCF on a multi-year average basis with the last few
years ~140%.

is included or discussed in another communication (oral or written) from a Deutsche Bank analyst, Deutsche Bank may act as
principal for its own account or as agent for another person.

Deutsche Bank may consider this report in deciding to trade as principal. It may also engage in transactions, for its own account
or with customers, in a manner inconsistent with the views taken in this research report. Others within Deutsche Bank,
including strategists, sales staff and other analysts, may take views that are inconsistent with those taken in this research
report. Deutsche Bank issues a variety of research products, including fundamental analysis, equity-linked analysis,
quantitative analysis and trade ideas. Recommendations contained in one type of communication may differ from
recommendations contained in others, whether as a result of differing time horizons, methodologies, perspectives or
otherwise. Deutsche Bank and/or its affiliates may also be holding debt or equity securities of the issuers it writes on. Analysts

Opinions, estimates and projections constitute the current judgment of the author as of the date of this report. They do not
necessarily reflect the opinions of Deutsche Bank and are subject to change without notice. Deutsche Bank provides liquidity
for buyers and sellers of securities issued by the companies it covers. Deutsche Bank research analysts sometimes have
shorter-term trade ideas that may be inconsistent with Deutsche Bank's existing longer-term ratings. Some trade ideas for
equities are listed as Catalyst Calls on the Research Website (https://research.db.com/Research/) , and can be found on the
general coverage list and also on the covered company’s page. A Catalyst Call represents a high-conviction belief by an analyst
that a stock will outperform or underperform the market and/or a specified sector over a time frame of no less than two weeks
and no more than three months. In addition to Catalyst Calls, analysts may occasionally discuss with our clients, and with
Deutsche Bank salespersons and traders, trading strategies or ideas that reference catalysts or events that may have a near-
term or medium-term impact on the market price of the securities discussed in this report, which impact may be directionally
counter to the analysts' current 12-month view of total return or investment return as described herein. Deutsche Bank has
no obligation to update, modify or amend this report or to otherwise notify a recipient thereof if an opinion, forecast or estimate
changes or becomes inaccurate. Coverage and the frequency of changes in market conditions and in both general and
company-specific economic prospects make it difficult to update research at defined intervals. Updates are at the sole
discretion of the coverage analyst or of the Research Department Management, and the majority of reports are published at
irregular intervals. This report is provided for informational purposes only and does not take into account the particular
investment objectives, financial situations, or needs of individual clients. It is not an offer or a solicitation of an offer to buy or
sell any financial instruments or to participate in any particular trading strategy. Target prices are inherently imprecise and a
product of the analyst’s judgment. The financial instruments discussed in this report may not be suitable for all investors, and
investors must make their own informed investment decisions. Prices and availability of financial instruments are subject to
change without notice, and investment transactions can lead to losses as a result of price fluctuations and other factors. If a
financial instrument is denominated in a currency other than an investor's currency, a change in exchange rates may adversely
affect the investment. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Performance calculations exclude
transaction costs, unless otherwise indicated. Unless otherwise indicated, prices are current as of the end of the previous
trading session and are sourced from local exchanges via Reuters, Bloomberg and other vendors. Data is also sourced from
Deutsche Bank, subject companies, and other parties.

research are available on our website (https://research.db.com/Research/) under Disclaimer.

Macroeconomic fluctuations often account for most of the risks associated with exposures to instruments that promise to pay
fixed or variable interest rates. For an investor who is long fixed-rate instruments (thus receiving these cash flows), increases
in interest rates naturally lift the discount factors applied to the expected cash flows and thus cause a loss. The longer the
maturity of a certain cash flow and the higher the move in the discount factor, the higher will be the loss. Upside surprises in
inflation, fiscal funding needs, and FX depreciation rates are among the most common adverse macroeconomic shocks to
receivers. But counterparty exposure, issuer creditworthiness, client segmentation, regulation (including changes in assets
holding limits for different types of investors), changes in tax policies, currency convertibility (which may constrain currency
conversion, repatriation of profits and/or liquidation of positions), and settlement issues related to local clearing houses are
also important risk factors. The sensitivity of fixed-income instruments to macroeconomic shocks may be mitigated by
indexing the contracted cash flows to inflation, to FX depreciation, or to specified interest rates – these are common in
emerging markets. The index fixings may – by construction – lag or mis-measure the actual move in the underlying variables
they are intended to track. The choice of the proper fixing (or metric) is particularly important in swaps markets, where floating
coupon rates (i.e., coupons indexed to a typically short-dated interest rate reference index) are exchanged for fixed coupons.
Funding in a currency that differs from the currency in which coupons are denominated carries FX risk. Options on swaps
(swaptions) the risks typical to options in addition to the risks related to rates movements.

Derivative transactions involve numerous risks including market, counterparty default and illiquidity risk. The appropriateness

of these products for use by investors depends on the investors' own circumstances, including their tax position, their
regulatory environment and the nature of their other assets and liabilities; as such, investors should take expert legal and
financial advice before entering into any transaction similar to or inspired by the contents of this publication. The risk of loss
in futures trading and options, foreign or domestic, can be substantial. As a result of the high degree of leverage obtainable
in futures and options trading, losses may be incurred that are greater than the amount of funds initially deposited – up to
theoretically unlimited losses. Trading in options involves risk and is not suitable for all investors. Prior to buying or selling an
option, investors must review the 'Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options”, at http://www.optionsclearing.com/
about/publications/character-risks.jsp. If you are unable to access the website, please contact your Deutsche Bank
representative for a copy of this important document.

Participants in foreign exchange transactions may incur risks arising from several factors, including the following: (i) exchange
rates can be volatile and are subject to large fluctuations; (ii) the value of currencies may be affected by numerous market
factors, including world and national economic, political and regulatory events, events in equity and debt markets and changes
in interest rates; and (iii) currencies may be subject to devaluation or government-imposed exchange controls, which could
affect the value of the currency. Investors in securities such as ADRs, whose values are affected by the currency of an
underlying security, effectively assume currency risk.

Unless governing law provides otherwise, all transactions should be executed through the Deutsche Bank entity in the
investor's home jurisdiction. Aside from within this report, important conflict disclosures can also be found at https://
research.db.com/Research/ on each company’s research page. Investors are strongly encouraged to review this information
before investing.

Backtested, hypothetical or simulated performance results have inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record
based on trading actual client portfolios, simulated results are achieved by means of the retroactive application of a backtested
model itself designed with the benefit of hindsight. Taking into account historical events the backtesting of performance also
differs from actual account performance because an actual investment strategy may be adjusted any time, for any reason,
including a response to material, economic or market factors. The backtested performance includes hypothetical results that
do not reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings or the deduction of advisory fees, brokerage or other
commissions, and any other expenses that a client would have paid or actually paid. No representation is made that any trading
strategy or account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. Alternative modeling techniques or
assumptions might produce significantly different results and prove to be more appropriate. Past hypothetical backtest results
are neither an indicator nor guarantee of future returns. Actual results will vary, perhaps materially, from the analysis.
