1. Samsungs businesses are not well understood, as themarket is assuming Samsung is only a smartphone company2. Samsung Semiconductor is worth the enterprise value itself
(the market price implicitly assumes mobile is worth -$33B)3. Samsung trades at more than a 50% discount to peers and
intrinsic value4. Samsung is manufacturing 13 products with global #1
market share that have very defensible market positions5. Several catalysts are in motion to unlock the trapped value,
including IPOing non-core businesses, corporaterestructuring and massive share buybacks ($60B net cash)
6. Management has an astounding track record of successfullycreating shareholder value
Thesis

1. Success of Samsung hinges on the success of theGalaxy S franchise2. There is no growth left in the smartphone
industry (the market is fully saturated)
3. Lenovo will drive Samsungs mobile operatingmargins to 3% (while Apple will continue tooperate in a vacuum)
4. Samsung is a copy-cat and is only successful
because they infringe on others patents 5. Samsung is not shareholder friendly and willnever return capital to shareholders
This presentation seeks to rectify the myths that cloud
the investors mindset on Samsung Electronics
Dispelling the Myths

Apples Portfolio: iPhone 53% iPad 19% Mac 13% iPod 3% iTunes 9% Accessories 3%
Samsungs Portfolio: DRAM 5% NAND 4% Logic Chipset 5% Mobile Display 5% Large Panel Display 6% Tablets 4% Low-end Smartphones 14% Premium Smartphones 28% Feature phones 3% Networking Equipment 2% Laptop/PC 4% TV/Screen 13% Home Appliances 6%
Samsung has a diverse product offering that can withstand the failure ofany single product. Even if iPhone wipes out Galaxy S, Apple will still need
to buy Samsungs DRAM and NAND memory chips (in larger quantities).

If the consensus is correct and Lenovo is successful in
driving down Samsungs operating margins to 3%, thenSamsung will still generate $4.3 billion in operating profitfor 2014
Using a 15x multiple this business is worth $64 billion in a
worst case scenario (Lenovo trades at 18x operating profit) In this scenario Samsung Electronics intrinsic value is $283
Billion Upside to Samsung Electronics in this scenario is still 52%
The worst case is more than priced into the stock.Samsung provides a margin of safety for the prudentinvestor even in a (highly unlikely) worst case scenario.
