Positive NPD data trends and sales upside from other premium retailers lately support our top line outlook. Conservative guidance is the norm, and could weigh on the stock NT. That said, we believe RLs enviable combo of top line & margin drivers will make the company a relative outperformer in FY12and we would likely view any guidance-related pullback as a stock buying oppy. Upcoming Price Increases (and Past Pricing Success) Boost FY12 Outlook In our view, RL is well positioned to offset higher input costs with pricing due to yrs of heavy investing to elevate its brand in the consumers mind. We believe RL is poised to raise prices on basics aggressively in July. Successful price increases in the past led to significant GM expansion, and could make our estimate for -60bp of GM compression in FY12 look overly conservative as the year progresses. Our FY12 Outlook for RL US revenues should cont to benefit from shelf gains won during the recession, and internatl revs should accelerate as the company integrates its Asia business. Further, RL has margin advantages vs apparel peers due to 1) strong pricing power, 2) accelerating ecommerce sales (RLs highest margin business), and 3) expanding scale advantages. While accelerated investment spending is a stock risk, history has shown significant upside to buying RLs stock during investment cycles. Valuation: Maintain $140 PT; Reiterate Buy Our $140 12-month PT is ~18x our CY12E EPS of $7.58 (+17.5% YOY).

Um Tel: +1-212-713 3372Few Companies With Apples End Demand Hon Hai fire a minor set back Hon Hai acknowledged a fire at its Chengdu plant, which we believe is a secondary location for iPad production. Our checks & those of our Taiwanese tech analyst Arthur Hsieh indicate less than 20% of iPad volumes are produced at the Chengdu facility. Although the issue is unlikely to help supply issues to meet strong global demand, we see this issue as temporary and note there are few companies in our coverage that have as strong an end demand picture. Investors appear to be concerned with June qtr... Investors appear to be concerned by the June qtr given belief of limited upside to Street consensus due to 1) next gen iPhone likely shipping in Sept and 2) iPhone 3GS/4 supply chain order cuts. While the next gen iPhone launch is slightly later than normal, we expect building sentiment improvement heading into launch. Additionally, we note that prior gen iPhone cuts are very typical ahead of a new launch and we do not see this as a concern as demand remains strong. ...but still see upside to EPS We highlighted in the past Apples over-accrual relative to its warranty claims, which we see as potential upside. If Apple reduced its reserves in the same magnitude as it had in claims ($513mn) over the past 3 qtrs, potl forward EPS benefit could be ~$0.41, all else equal. We also see upside to iMac from an earlier refresh (~$0.03 to EPS assuming slightly lower gross margins and all else equal). Valuation: $495 tgt based on ~20x our CY11 EPS estimate Reiterate Buy on strong demand, potl EPS upside, & ahead of iPhone launch.

Expedias Egencia and Orbitz for Business have both seen much improved trends. These businesses are relatively small for each company but we thought wed do some channel checks to see if there is a big opportunity for long term growth. Survey results still suggest modest corporate opportunity Two years ago we asked corporate travel managers and others involved in corp travel buying a number of questions about the prospects for OTAs growing their corporate businesses. The survey results at that time were mixed to negative. We just updated the survey but come away with essentially the same conclusions most travel managers do not think OTAs can manage their corporate programs. Implications for EXPE and OWW With TripAdvisor soon to be out of the income statement for Expedia, investors may over time take a closer look at Egencia. This survey does not suggest it will continue to be a rapid growth business. That said, it is very hard to care at the moment because recent IPO pricings suggest the TripAdvisor spin will create substantial value. We are raising our PT for EXPE from $27 to $32 assuming Trip trades at or above 30x P/E (up from 20x) and Expedia core at 10x. Both could be conservative given market exuberance. For OWW, we are lowering our PT to $3 from $4.10 based on 5.5-6x EV/EBITDA - 0.5x lower as its multiple is likely to remain compressed as airlines cut capacity and negotiate distribution.

3. Morning Expresso - United States 23 May 2011Q-Series: State & Local Fiscal Crisis Economist: Maury N. Harris Tel: +1-212-713 2472How Serious Is State and Local Fiscal Drag? How much harm from higher required state and local budget balancing? Every year, state and local governments must balance their budgets, and doing so is about to get harder. Their revenues are recovering with the economy. However, temporary Federal stimulus aid to state and local governments will expire this year, and states mandated Medicaid spending continues to spiral out of control. Consequently, heading into fiscal 2012, which starts in July 2011 for most states and localities, they will have to implement spending cuts and revenue hikes to rectify an estimated combined fiscal 2012 budget gap of just over $150 billion. In addition, the recently unsettled conditions in the municipal bond market probably will limit state and local construction spending even though it is not subject to the required balancing of current revenues and expenditures. New UBS economic stress indicator to signal evolving required austerity This report introduces a proprietary indicator of state and local fiscal economic stress-a key to pre-fiscal year budget forecasts that drive the state and local fiscal austerity necessitated by balanced budget requirements. Gauging such largely cyclical pressures on government revenue and spending is critical for understanding the evolving likelihood of future fiscal austerity measures. In early 2011, our indicator has been signaling less cyclically-related fiscal stress. Nevertheless, an offsetting factor for the upcoming fiscal 2012 is the imminent loss of Federal fiscal stimulus aid to state and local governments. However, once budgets are adjusted in fiscal 2012 to reflect lower Federal aid, our economic stress indicator should provide important guidance for prospective fiscal austerity in fiscal 2013, which begins in mid-2012. Necessary heavy lifting somewhat more than already exercised State and local deficit reduction steps already have been subtracting from GDP growth in recent years, but the continued necessary fiscal restraint should be more than during the past year. The estimated combined state and local fiscal deficit heading into in fiscal 2012 is approximately one percentage point of GDP. The related required incremental fiscal restraint is just around a third of one percent of GDP more than in fiscal 2011, when the estimated deficit heading into that year was around two-thirds of one percent of GDP. State and local job losses to mount With lesser reliance on tax hikes and Federal assistance and more emphasis on trimming spending, state and local job cuts should rise from an estimated almost 300,000 in fiscal 2011 to around 450,000 in fiscal 2012. Even deeper job losses are possible if there are not further meaningful restraints on public sector workers compensation gains-an important factor exacerbating the magnitude of state and local job losses over the past 2 years. However, the economys ability to absorb such accelerated public sector job losses is improving with a stronger private sector.

Harris Tel: +1-212-713 2472Red Alert or Red Herring? Soft patch or patchy data? A good portion of the recent slowing probably reflects an unfortunate confluence of one-time events that are likely transitory. The two key events affecting the recent data are the particularly bad weather in the South and the effects of the disaster in Japan. We believe recent data disappointments are somewhat fishy and are overstating the overall weakness. The outlook remains reasonably healthy and continues to benefit from improvement in credit conditions and labor incomes. Watching inflation closely Core inflation has been moving higher with broad-based increases. Although we expect commodity-driven price pressures to diminish, unit labor costs are beginning to rise. These cross-currents suggest that inflation is the key to Fed policy. We look for inflation to continue to creep higher in 2011, while seeing some upside risk. The past week The monthly data for May got off to a rough start this week, as two key regional manufacturing surveys disappointed. Data for April were hardly inspiring: the leading economic indicator slipped; industrial production was unchanged; and housing activity data remained depressed. The April 27 FOMC minutes provided principles for normalizing policy. The week ahead We forecast a drop in durable goods orders in April, although much of that reflects seasonal adjustment flaws that have resulted in repeated weakening in the first month of a quarter. Home sales probably softened in April; new home sales were probably weaker than the pending home sales index because of a greater dependence on sales in the South. The FHFA home price index probably slipped again in March. In contrast to that weaker data, we expect the University of Michigan consumer sentiment index to hold on to its early May increases. And Q1 real GDP growth will likely be revised up 0.4 percentage point to a 2.2% annual rate, although most of the upward revision reflects inventories.

Defensive sectors have led the market by a wide margin. Bond yields and commodities prices also signal less robust growth. Economic indicators point to soft patch A number of important economic indicators have recently turned south, pointing to a soft patch. More specifically, ISM Non-Manufacturing, the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index, weekly jobless claims, and the Empire State Survey have all weakened. Market favoring defensive characteristics Our proprietary UBS Return Drivers confirm the recent trend of investor caution. Pro-cyclical characteristics, such as Volatility and Operating Leverage, have lost steam, giving way to defensive characteristics like ROE. Pro-cyclical leadership should reassert itself in the back half of 2011 2010 experienced a similar soft patch, only to rebound in the latter part of the year. We believe that solid 2Q earnings will once again trump expectations, refocusing investors on strong fundamentals.

4. Morning Expresso - United States 23 May 2011Global Equity Strategy Strategist: Jeffrey Palma Tel: +1-203-719 1135Using the ISM as a market signal Recurring patterns around cyclical inflection points In this note we revisit the link between equity markets and the ISM index. We find that equity markets display recurring patterns around cyclical inflection points. Market returns are typically quite strong during the early stages of an economic recovery, led by cyclical sectors, but moderate following a peak in ISM, with little difference between cyclical vs. defensive sector performance. Cyclicals vs. defensives and stages of the ISM On average, cyclical sectors struggle to outperform defensives when the ISM is at high levels but beginning to head lower. This is consistent with equity versus bond performance trends recently noted by our Global Asset Allocation team. It is also consistent with the current cycles trends, which have proven to be quite typical for an economic recovery when compared to the last 40 years. Base case expectations While soft-patch concerns are keeping tactical risks elevated, equity markets remain well supported over a more strategic horizon by expectations for continued economic expansion, healthy earnings growth and relatively low valuations. Increasingly shareholder-friendly (re- leveraging) activity is also supportive. No changes to our sector and region allocations We continue to advocate a sector allocation that is balanced between cyclical and defensive sectors. Our most recent sector changes were to downgrade Energy and Materials in April. Our current overweights are in Tech, Healthcare, and Telcos. Regionally, we favour GEM and US, and remain Underweight Europe.

Reflecting the recent changes to our country and sector allocations we adjusted the portfolio to align with our new positioning. In particular we downgraded Turkey and upgraded South Africa and Peru. On a sector basis we added to Healthcare and Utilities and cut Industrials and Consumer sectors to reflect a maturing cycle. As a result we made 10 changes to the UBS GEM Select. As of May 12, the model portfolio was up 19.6% since inception, compared to 17.4% return on the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Changes at the Frontier Our UBS Frontier Markets Portfolio which consists of 43 stocks from the 15 markets we recommend. We added Kenya to this list most recently and included Safaricom, East African Breweries and Kenya Commercial Bank to the portfolio. As of May 12th, the Frontier portfolio was up 0.16% since inception, compared to -3.34% return on the MSCI Frontier Markets Index. Methodology: identifying value Our work is a heavy user of the Gordon Growth model which we apply to countries and sectors to determine which parts of the market represent the most value, based on their longer term growth and profitability fundamentals. Our work on styles also suggests a move up in size to the mid cap part of the market and towards growth stocks, which is also reflected in the UBS GEM Select portfolio.

5. Morning Expresso - United States 23 May 2011MACRO AND STRATEGY RESEARCHWeekly Weight Watcher Economist: Larry Hatheway Tel: +44-20-7568 4053Is credit rich? Steady credit While equity and commodity markets have wobbled recently, credit has remained remarkably steady. Given low spreads and underlying interest rates, credit valuations might seem expensive, especially relative to equities. But we highlight that market-implied default rates suggest investors still discount a higher probability of corporate defaults than long-term historical averages. This seems at odds with solid credit fundamentals, and hence we offer an alternative insight into equity/credit valuations. The Merton approach We show how we can gauge relative valuations by using the Merton capital structure model. This model offers a simple framework in which fair theoretical credit spreads can be inferred from equity prices, equity volatility and leverage. A low theoretical spread relative to observed CDS spreads would imply that equity markets are more optimistic on corporate default rates than credit markets, and vice-versa. We construct such measures for US investment grade and high-yield corporate bond indices. Is credit expensive? During the credit crisis, equity and equity options markets priced in a more pessimistic view of corporate default rates compared to the credit market. Currently we find that there isnt a large disparity between equity implied theoretical spreads and the credit market. If anything, our model suggests that credit markets are somewhat more pessimistic in their outlook. In other words, our model suggests that credit is not particularly rich at present. Unchanged asset allocation stance These findings are consistent with our current asset allocation stance. We retain overweight allocations to high- yield credit and EM local currency sovereign debt, cash and soft commodities. We also maintain benchmark allocations to global equities and REITs, as well as cyclical commodities and precious metals. Our underweight recommendations in nominal and inflation-linked government bonds are also left unchanged.

Doerflinger, Ph.D. Tel: +1-212-713 2540Net buying US equities US Client Flow: Long-only turned net buyers US clients increased their net buying, with much of the increase coming from long-only funds, which went from being net sellers to net buyers. While intermediaries also increased their net buying, corporate clients and hedge funds decreased their net buying; other clients were the only net sellers. At the same time, US clients continue to be net sellers of foreign equities for a fourth straight 4-week period. Sector details of US Client Flow: Concentrated net buying Although US clients continue to be net buyers, the net buying is concentrated in financials, media, healthcare, and technology (Chart 3). Overseas, while US clients are net sellers, they are net buyers of consumer and healthcare. US clients continue to increase net buying in US financials, while increasing net selling in foreign financials. Foreign Client Flow: Long-only increased net buying Long-only funds and other are the only foreign clients that are net buying, but overall, foreign clients continued to be net buyers for a sixth straight 4-week period (Table 4). Intermediaries and hedge funds increased net selling. Notes: Source: The content presented above reflects a front page summary of UBS Research content, UBS commentary as at 20 May 2011 UBS 5

Western log prices under modest pressure Random Lengths reports Western log prices have declined $15 since April and anticipates further modest ($25-30) erosion over coming weeks. They attribute this weakness to several factors including: improved supply (weather allowing access to previously inaccessible stands), curtailments at lumber/plywood mills and weaker demand from China. They indicate Chinese buyers are fielding offerings from other countries. Erosion is limited given base>$600-but trend bears watching. Wood product realizations remain low The Random Lengths lumber composite price has declined for 10 consecutive weeks, losing $39/mbf (13.5%) over this period. The current price is the lowest level since Oct-10. 2Q average of $269/mbf is off from $320 last year and $298 in 1Q. The current price is $12 below the 2Q average. Oriented strand board prices are off $40/msf versus February highs (19.5%). Current prices for OSB are the lowest level since Sept-10. The 2Q average of $171/msf compares to $199 last quarter and $295 last year. The current price is $6/msf below the 2Q average. No sign of spring building season export log demand only bright spot Housing activity has disappointed in 2011. Most producers are not seeing signs of a spring building season and have lowered forecasts. Relative strength in Western log markets due to Chinese demand pull has been one of the few bright spots this year. We have been concerned this demand might not prove sustainable at current price levels and worried about the margin squeeze on domestic log consumers (high input costs/low wood product selling prices). We remain cautious on timber/ wood product companies. Shares appear overvalued vs. current fundamentals.

Glazerman, CFA Tel: +1 212 713 3486May paper & board price update A bit of a mixed bag Pulp & Paper Week reported May paper/board prices this weekend. Trends were mixed. PPW reported some weakness in uncoated free and newsprint, stability in containerboard and continued slow recovery in other graphic grades. Commentary on packaging grades, such as kraft paper and coated recycled board, was positive. Containerboard Pulp & Paper Week generally noted stability in containerboard. This is in contrast to Official Board Markets (OBM), which reports box price erosion in recent weeks. OBM tends to have a bias favoring independents and we question the rationale for incremental price pressure with seasonally-stronger demand, tighter supply due to planned maintenance & IPs Vicksburg outage. Export prices are rising with new hikes for Europe, Asia & Middle East. The RKT/SSCC deal could close this week. Graphic: ups and downs For 2nd straight month PPW lowered uncoated free cut size prices. We believe this could be overstating pressure. They continue to show modest recognition of April coated free, coated groundwood and uncoated groundwood hikes. PPW questions prospects for new July hike for these grades. PPW held East newsprint prices flat but lowered prices $5/t in the West. This brings East/West gap to $20/tonne. More increases pending: cautious on graphic paper positive on packaging There are new graphic paper and packaging price increases in the markets for June. Near-term focus will be on containerboard and if the industry will seek pricing this summer. We favor packaging grades and assume a $50/t linerboard hike for July.

The data was soft, with the 9% decline in overall shipments a bit weaker than the preliminary release and the weakest trend since fall 2009. Inventories rose 2.7% m/m-reversing 1/2 March decline. Net imports fell 3% y/y but were up 20% m/m. Uncoated free best trends Uncoated free posted the best shipment and inventory trends in the month. The 3.7% y/y drop in shipments (-4.2% ytd) compares to 12-15% declines for other grades. UCFS comps were much easier. UCFS inventories fell slightly m/m. Coated free shipments fell 15% y/y (-4.9% ytd). Inventories rose more than normal. Coated groundwood shipments fell 12.3% y/y (-3.4% ytd). Inventories rose to a 1.5-year high. Uncoated groundwood shipments fell 13.8% y/y (-6.9% ytd). Inventories rose to a 20-month high. Trade still generally positive Overall trade flows were generally improved year over year though modestly unfavorable compared to 12-month rolling averages. Currency and trade barriers are providing some protection. We see risk to coated free trade over time. Pricing Pulp & Paper Week reports more erosion in uncoated free cut size and modest improvement in other print/write grades. Looking out there are cut size, coated free, coated/uncoated groundwood hikes for June/July. We assume stable pricing. Uncoated free is our preferred graphic grade but we favor packaging over paper.

Rating: Buy Target: US$37.00 Price: US$29.09 RIC: ANN.N Prior: Unchanged Prior: Unchanged Mkt Cap: US$1.69bn BBG: ANN US Retailers, Specialty Analyst: Roxanne Meyer, CFA Tel: +1 212 713 86022Q Off to a Solid Start; Reiterate Buy Fundamentals are improving ANN remains a top pick based on attractive LT catalysts: 1) momentum at Ann Taylor / turn is there at LOFT, 2) best- positioned in terms of sourcing for 11, 3) accelerated store refreshes (higher sales productivity/lower cost model), 4) channel mix shift to higher margin factory/outlet & ecommerce businesses, 5) systems/IT initiatives, and 6) continued repurchase activity. 2Q off to a solid start; accelerated comps, fewer promos at both divisions While Lofts 1Q comp of -1% disappointed, it was due to starved inventories and weakness in petites (15% of sales). In May, Loft stores are seeing significant improvement (particularly in knits/wovens) given right- sized inventories, with May the toughest monthly compare of 2Q. We are comfortable with expectations for gross margin expansion in 2Q given 1. improvement in Loft product, 2. the reduction in promotions needed in May thus far, and 3. the influence of higher outlet margins on the total margin, which becomes increasingly more influential. Reiterated sourcing cost mitigation but now for all of 2011 ANN remains the only retailer to have mitigated 11 sourcing pressures with average unit costs planned flat. AT is not raising opening price points and will only increase price on select high-demand items in 3Q (such as suits); Loft will not raise prices. Lower depth of promotions/more targeted promotions are being tested. Valuation Our 2Q EPS estimate moves to $0.47 from $0.46, FY11E to $1.87 from $1.84. Our $37 price target is based on 15.7x our 12 EPS estimate of $2.35.

Farley Tel: +1-212-713 2060Cruise Capacity Monitor Growth After 2011 Even Lower The North American capacity increase for 2010 was 6% and we estimate 2011 will be just under that level, which is approximately equivalent to the trailing 10 year average of just under 6%. 12 and 13 will almost certainly be below avg years at 3% and 4% growth, respectively, as all ordering for those yrs now done, and further withdrawals are likely to come. European capacity also expected to grow below the 9- 10% trailing average growth. What Could Come Into the Order Pipeline We believe CCL likely to order another ship this year for 14 delivery. We expect the next few newbuilds to still be ordered for European sourcing brands like Costa and AIDA, which have both been growing, and P&O which currently has no ships on order. An order for the Carnival brand is unlikely in the near term in our view. This goes along with Carnivals stated plan for capacity growth of 2-3 ships per year, as there is currently only one order for delivery in Spring 2014 (for Princess). What Could Come Out of The Fleet We note CCL has 1 ship in its P&O Australia fleet and 2 ships in its Iberocruceros fleet that are 24+ years old, similar in vintage to other recent CCL fleet removals. Each of those two older Iberocruceros ships is ~1% of the Euro mkt. Although RCL has noted that it has no plans to remove the ship, we have heard trade commentary that RCI could be exploring alternatives for the Monarch of the Seas. We believe Monarch comprises ~1% of 11 North American capacity. More detail on other potential capacity changes in Europe and N America below.

ARO and AEO need to clear heavy inventory levels. We saw YOY upticks at: ANF, ARO, AEO, Banana, Old Navy, Urban Outfitters, and WHBM; only Banana Republic was less promotional. AEO: aggressive promotions continue; lowering our estimates and PT AEO remains highly promotional with 70-75% of the store marked-down (vs 40% LY) and an average depth of 30-40% off (vs 25-30% off LY). Newer product looked a bit too dark for spring/summer. We are maintaining our Q1 est of $0.13 (assuming lower gross margin is offset by share repurchase), but lowering Q2 est $0.10 from $0.13 and FY11 to $0.89 from $0.98.

This is above the higher end of our prior valuation range for the manufacturing division of $800 mil. Most of the after-tax proceeds (~ $875 mil) will be re-invested in RDCs offshore drilling business, which could include investments in its high spec jackup fleet or expansion into the ultra-deepwater market. Rowan has been meeting with South Korea shipyards regarding a potential order for up to three 12,000 ft dual activity drillships. We believe an order for two deepwater rigs is likely. Diamond announces 3rd deepwater rig; we believe dividend intact Last week, Diamond announced its 3rd newbuild ultra-deepwater drillship with Hyundai for $610 mil, delivery in Q2-14. Following the construction of three ultra-deepwater rigs and the purchase of two additional rigs, Diamond will have five ultra-deepwater newbuild rigs (plus 3 upgraded ultra-deepwater rigs). Based on our current free cash flow projections and the $1 bil of cash on hand we believe that Diamond can maintain the current dividend ($3.50 annual dividend, 5% yld) and internally fund the construction program. DO wins contracts for first two newbuild drillships under construction The contracts are with Anadarko at $495k/day, for 5 year terms. Contracts start late-2013 and early-2014 following shipyard delivery. We estimate an IRR of about 15%. Separately, DO received a 20 month extension for the semi Ocean Rover (8,000 ft 2nd/5th gen, Malaysia) with Murphy at a dayrate in the mid $280ks, which is below its current rate in the $370ks and our forecast of $300k.

NRC says more issues found in new reactor design NRC Chairman Jaczko stated that additional technical issues have been uncovered with respect to Westinghouses AP1000 reactor design that need to be resolved before it can begin considering the design certification. This design certification needs to occur before a construction and operating license (COL) can be issued. At this stage, it is unclear if these technical issues will result in a delay of the design approval process. The NRC will wait until it has received Westinghouses response before deciding if a 75-day public comment period is warranted. Whats the holdup? Westinghouse was required to perform further calculations to confirm the NRC staffs technical analysis but during that process, additional questions arose about the containment shield building and thermal stress. Westinghouse is expected to submit additional information on the AP1000 design sometime in June following an inspection by the NRC staff next week. What does this do to the approval timeline? If the NRCs new concerns can be adequately addressed without raising material issues, then the NRC will likely move forward for a late 2011/early 2012 decision (design and COL done separately). However, if the concerns are deemed to be material, the 75 day public comment period will probably push out a final NRC decision by about five months, or into the 1Q of 2012, at the earliest.

Personal property represents 63%, commercial 23% and auto 14% of the total, with the largest losses in AL, TN, NC and TX. ALL and TRV have the largest market share in the hardest hit states We examined insurers homeowners, auto physical damage and commercial multi-peril property market shares in the nine states with the largest dollar damages from April storms (representing 78% of total losses). Of the companies in our coverage universe, ALL and TRV appear to have the largest market shares in these states, with much smaller shares at WRB and ACE. PGR is among the top 10 personal auto insurers in each of these states (and in the top five in six of them). Reducing EPS estimates for CB, TRV and WRB Based on market shares and expected industry losses, we are increasing our catastrophe loss estimates and reducing 2Q11E EPS for TRV (-36%), CB (-13%) and WRB (-3%). Our 2Q11 catastrophe loss estimate for TRV is higher than each quarterly cat loss TRV has reported since 3Q08. Our 2011 EPS estimate is ~3% below consensus for TRV and roughly in line for CB and WRB. ALL pre-announced its April cat loss estimate, and PGR reported April results (see Table 2). Reinsurers not likely to be significantly affected . . . . . .but some reinsurance programs might be triggered. CINF expects reinsurance recoveries on its losses, and ENH pre-announced $45-$55m in losses from its cat reinsurance book, mainly related to regional homeowner and farm mutual insurers.

While 2012 unlikely to see major shifts, employers appear to be more willing to entertain ideas that drive meaningful change heading into 2014 HC reform implementation. Will employers shift from defined benefit to defined contribution in HC? One of the most interesting viewpoints came from consultant presenter Ken Sperling, who sees potential for employers to move HC spending toward defined contribution over time, with the analogy made several times to similar move in 1990s in retirement (pension to 401k). While this may prove challenging for active employees, its more likely in the pre-retiree/retiree space, especially should exchange market prove viable and provide affordable options to pre-65 retirees. Typical RFP pipeline in natl accts, signs of pricing aggression from AET No major new trends in natl account RFPs for 2012, with cost trend guarantees less aggressive. Some discussion of Aetna pricing aggression in mid-mkt segment by consultants, specifically in the north-east, which we also picked up via our NFP channel checks. That said, MLR floors make pricing data-points tough to interpret as plans have been transparent in strategy to price thru rebate for membership in low MLR regions (AET has indicated small group give-back in select markets). Aon Hewitt indicates PBM pricing trends improve YoY On avg PBM clients realizing 7-9% savings on typical 3-yr contracts on renewals for 2012, which appears less aggressive than last years avg. of 12-15%.

Eleventh issue of our series on key generics products We focus on products with significant sales potential, interesting patent situations or complex generic launches. We include an Rx-driven sales model as well as the projected EPS impact to the respective generic company for the new generic product. We detail our assumptions for generic Micro-K for Perrigo and Watson Micro-K has been an investor concern since KV re-entered the capsule market earlier this year and regained ~25% share, and now especially as Paddock/Perrigo received approval this week and is expected to launch in mid July. In the capsule market, we assume that Watson will be able to keep ~50% share (vs. ~75% now) with Perrigo and KV taking ~15% and ~30% share, respectively. Further, we assume that pricing drops by another 15% when Perrigo launches (pricing fell ~20% when KV re-entered). However, we had previously underestimated the impact of the tablet market where Watson has benefited from Mercks price increases on the brand. There is a slow shift to tablets due to lower cost, and while that market is already established, Watson has been gaining share, and we believe it will be able to offset losses in capsules though its gains in tablets (see Table 1). Our takeaway: Opportunity for Perrigo; No net impact to Watson We estimate sales of $7M in F2012 and $9M in F2013 for Perrigo, resulting in an EPS contribution of $0.03 and $0.04, respectively. For Watson, we expect capsule losses to be offset by tablet increases such that the contribution from this franchise to our Watson estimates remains unchanged (see Tables 2 and 3 for projected EPS impact).

Revenue mix is 85% NA, 85% levered to Ag, which has an attractive secular growth story, and splits 60/40 between OE/Aftermarket. On LTM sales of $85mn at 21% EBITDA margins valuation looks attractive at 8.7x vs. 9.2x for our SMID industrials peer group (on 11E). Weasler fits squarely in ATUs wheelhouse, boding well for synergies We think Weasler fits where ATU has excelled buying well-run makers of highly engineered products with dominant, but localized market positions, in less competitive niches, and globalizing them. We also see sourcing, R&D synergies with the Elliott (flex shafts) and Maxima (durable vehicle controls) businesses. Post Mastervolt we think investors will like the classic ATU deal traits In our view, Weasler should reassure investors who were concerned ATU strayed from its core M&A strategy with the recent Mastervolt deal (solar inverters). We think MV fit many of ATUs M&A criteria and that LT prospects for solar are good, but a choppy demand outlook and MVs lack of market dominance did raise concerns. Valuation: Weasler neutral to valuation on 2012E; See better LT upside Our price target reflects 17.2/15.5x P/E and 9.4/8.5x EBITDA multiples on our 2011/12 estimates, weighted 75/25% on 2011/12E. While likely modestly accretive to F12 (Aug), at 8% growth, a 21% EBITDA margin and an 8.5x one-year forward EBITDA multiple the deal is about neutral to our 2012E valuation.

We think CR continues to gain share, including on Airbus and Embraer platforms and, more broadly, is benefiting from a still young, multi-year aerospace cycle. Our constructive thesis on CR shares is based partly on growing momentum in the firms predominantly late cycle end markets, including aerospace. We come away more confident in our 2011/12 revenue growth ests (10-12%) for Aerospace. Sizable progress on cost; Inflation, Japan supply chain are manageable We think stepped up LEAN initiatives during the downturn are paying dividends. The Burbank facility we toured is producing the same revenue (~$200mn, 50% segment sales) on one shift that it produced on two shifts at the prior peak. We believe wage inflation may be a larger risk than materials costs as the cycle develops. CR is also shedding suppliers that underinvested during the downturn and became less efficient. Were starting to see upside to our 2012, 22% OP margin target for A&E. Management changes starting to yield results Since Aero President Mike Romito joined in 2009 all but three of his direct reports changed. Focus areas for new managers are LEAN, aggressive aftermarket growth, and expanding the global engineering offices footprint. We think strategically locating new facilities is fueling growth, including with Airbus and Embraer. Valuation Our $55 price target reflects a 14.5x P/E multiple and an 8.5x EBITDA multiple on our 2012 estimates, weighted 70:30 to P/E.

UBS will be hosting a trip to the Canadian oil sands to meet with E&C customers (June 15-16). NRC comments on AP1000 design and Westinghouse (WH) responds On 5/20, the NRC noted that additional technical issues related to the AP1000 design need to be addressed. WH responded stating that the issues are not safety significant and several were self-identified by WH. The NRC is expected to review WHs response when it receives it (likely early-mid June). If the NRC deems the issues are adequately addressed, the design and project approval could take place late 2011. Issued deemed material could cause a few months delay into Q1 2012. We have assumed a delay of a few months in our Shaw model. Industry data: E&C -3.3% last week; TPC weak on CEO share sale E&C stocks declined -3.3% on avg last week. The avg performance over the past two months is -2.9% from +2.8% last week. NTM P/E multiples for FLR, JEC, MDR, KBR, and TPC declined to lowest levels since Nov/Dec 2010. TPC was the weakest performer likely due to CEO share sales, Guam concerns, and low ABI.

Charts: OECD CLI vs semi industry revenues, SOX index A slowing y/y OECD Composite Leading Indicator (CLI) supports our view for moderating semiconductor industry growth and in turn reinforces our Neutral view on the sector, as y/y SOX returns lead y/y semiconductor industry growth. Review: INTC Analyst meeting As we expected, Intel highlighted how it is monetizing the growth of smartphones and tablets through its data center business. What we did not expect was an aggressive Atom road map, where we believe investors will question less if Intel can defend itself vs ARM but rather increasingly ask if Intel can execute compelling products leveraging its Tri-Gate process advantage to gain meaningful share. We believe even in 2015 for smartphones, Intels 14nm Airmont, which would have its first full year of production, would optimistically add ~$0.10 (100m units) to our $2.90 EPS est. We believe more impactful is our view that investors will see reduced downside risk from ARM to longer-term earnings that could result in a rising P/E multiple (currently 10x 2011 EPS) towards our 12x target.

Our own analysis shows UMCs semicap orders in 2Q11 so far are only $23M, which are tracking down -70% q/q. Checks find Rexchip placed one DRAM semicap order last week Our checks find Rexchip placed a $17.5M semicap order with Applied Materials last week. Our analysis shows total Taiwanese DRAM semicap orders in 2Q11 are only $102M, tracking down -20% q/q. We are not as surprised with the weak DRAM semicap orders as we estimate DRAM capex in 2011 will be down -42% yoy and up slightly in 2012 at +14% yoy. Historically, Lam has the highest DRAM customer exposure at 38% of its total shipments (4-year average). Total Taiwanese semicap orders in 2Q11 tracking down -59% q/q so far Our analysis shows the 9 major semiconductor customers in Taiwan have only ordered $411M of semicap equipment in the first 7 weeks of 2Q11, down -59% q/q if weekly orders stay at this average for the remainder of 2Q11. We are surprised that total Taiwan foundry semicap orders are driving this weakness at only $309M in 2Q11 so far and tracking down -65% q/q. Historically, KLA has had the highest Foundry customer exposure at 42% of its total orders.

Google raises $3B in bond sale In its first ever bond offering, Google raised $3B splitting the sale evenly between three-, five-, and ten-year notes. The 1.25% 3-year notes yield 33bps more than similar maturity Treasuries; the 2.125% 5-year notes pays a 43bps spread, and the 3.625% 10-year bond pays a 58bps spread. Googles stockpile of $35B cash is said to have aided it to secure favorable terms. The average spread on AA rated bonds on May 13 was 105bps, higher than Googles, which also has an AA rating (S&P). The offering is said to give GOOG more flexibility to spend cash in the US; roughly 46% of its total cash is offshore.
