Koninklijke Philips Electronics (PHIA NA) ? Buy

Company Profile

• Based in the Netherlands, Philips is a diversified, global industrial company.

• Philips has leading positions in the lighting, personal care appliances, medical imaging, and consumer electronics industries.

• It also has ownership stakes in technology companies TSMC (16%), the world’s largest semiconductor foundry, and LG Philips LCD (33%), the second largest maker of flat panel displays.

2005 Revenues = €30.4 Billion Consumer Personal care electronics, 34% appliances, 7%

Medical, 21% Lighting, 16% Semis & Other, 22% Per Share Valuation 2006e 2005 2006e Multiple Share Price 27 27 Revenues 24 26 1.0 x Earnings 2.29 0.98 27.0 x Dividend 0.4 0.44 1.7% Book Value 13.30 13.76 1.9 x FY ends December 31

Shares Outstanding = 1,201 million All figures in EUR ($1.28 = 1 EUR) Investment Thesis

Restructuring with sense of urgency Management is executing its restructuring plan of simplifying the business with a sense of urgency. CEO Kleisterlee has sold the volatile semiconductor business and is intent on selling its stakes in technology companies TSMC and LG Philips LCD. This should better enable the company to focus on growing its remaining businesses.

Leading positions and attractive growth Globally, Philips has #1 share in lighting, #1 share in many personal care segments such as razors, and #3 share in medical imaging equipment. These strong positions allow Philips to invest in innovation to drive organic growth and to take advantage of emerging market opportunities.

Inexpensive valuation Excluding the investment holdings, Philips’ core business trades at 0.6x EV/Sales and 10x EV/EBIT.

Financial degrees of freedom Proceeds from disposals of investments representing ~50% of current market value could be returned to shareholders or used for acquisitions. The company could also increase leverage on the balance sheet.

Risks Ability to allocate capital effectively External factors such as declines in the value of investments could restrict effective capital allocation. Consumer electronics weakness Operating margins in the industry are slim and could worsen with increased competition and pricing pressure. Competition in medical Competitors GE and Siemens could weaken Philips’ position by paying more for acquisitions. Dodge & Cox decided to buy Royal Philips Electronics in the International Stock Fund.

CEMEX (CX) ? Buy Company Profile

• Headquartered in Mexico.

• Cemex is the third largest producer of cement in the world.

• Revenue by end user: 32% public works, 25% residential, 20% commercial, 13% self construction, 10% other.

• Founded in 1906.

• Cemex has been one of the most successful multinational companies to come out of Latin America.

• Over half of sales come from emerging markets.

2005 Revenues = $15 Billion USA, 25% Spain, 10% UK, 9% Mexico, 20% Rest of Europe, 16% Other, 11% Other Latam, 9%

Per Share Valuation Share Price 29 2006e 2005 2006e Multiple Revenues 22 24 Earnings 3.00 2.92 9.8 Dividend 0.8 0.9 3.1% Book Value 13.93 16.30 1.8 FY ends December 31 ADR Shares Outstanding = 704 million All figures in USD Investment Thesis Strong Market Positions Cemex has been well entrenched in their markets: they have been a top three cement producer in the majority of their markets. RMC Turnaround In 2005, Cemex purchased RMC, one of the largest concrete producers in the world. RMC was an underperforming company and Cemex is currently in the process of restructuring the company to improve returns. Good Free Cash Flow Generation Cemex has consistently generated strong free cash flow, which can provide a degree of downside protection. Proactive Management Team Management is focused and ambitious. Prior strategies and acquisitions have benefited shareholders. Risks Strong Housing Market Cemex operates in countries (Spain, US) where cement pricing and volume have been unusually strong and the housing market has been robust. It is unclear how sustainable the growth will be in residential markets. Weaker Positions in Asia Cemex has relatively low presence in fast growing Asia.

Acquisition Risk Management has indicated that they prefer to use free cash on acquisitions. There is a risk that the company will overpay for an acquisition. Due to the reasonable valuation and strong franchise, we purchased the stock.
