Company Products

• Cables are wires that transfer data, power etc. from one point to another (e.g.- internet cable)

• They consist of thin wire that actually transmits the signal surrounded by layers

• The inner wire can be either copper (older) or fiber (newer)

• Connectors are plugs that connect cables to end points and enable transfer of signal

• End points are computers, servers or telephone sets etc.

Industry Overview

RF INDUSTRIESManagement Presentation

Page 10: RF Industries2.pptx

Industry Overview

• Both cables and connectors are a critical part of any technological infrastructure

• Virtually every industry uses these in one way or another

• Industry cyclical due to nature of customer industries

• Experienced major declines during dot-com bust and the recent recession

• Communications firms lumpy due to massive once-in-decade rollouts for 3G, 4G etc.

• Clients are highly susceptible to sudden, disruptive changes in technologies (iPhones)

• However, industry itself is much more stable as cables/connectors are only changed slowly over time

Industry Overview

• We’ve already seen competitors are consolidating

• Customers are too:

– Wireless carriers shrink from 7 major players to 4 in the last 10 years

– Further consolidation underway

• So, both competitors and clients are becoming stronger, more coordinated and with more bargaining power

Consolidation Trend

• Meanwhile the industry is also facing falling connector prices

• $1 in 2005 only worth $0.89 in 2012

• This plus rising commodities & wages

Three Industries in Focus

• Most important client, by far, for RFIL

• Record spending driven by LTE/4G expansion

• By 2017, projected to spend:

– $37bn in capex

– $56bn in opex

• Key driver of growth

• Outlook: Very Positive

• Ageing population and threat of product liability lawsuits driving demand

• Obamacare expected to provide a boost

• Hospitals, equipment companies prime spenders

• Projected to spend $4.0tr by 2017

• Outlook: Positive

• Primary customers, directly or indirectly is the government

• But declining due to sharp budget cuts and winding down of wars

• Defense spending expected to fall by $280bn over next 5 yrs.

Divisional Breakdown

Page 20: RF Industries2.pptx

Comparative Financial Performance

• RFIL has consistently been more profitable more often than larger, more resourceful competitors

• Industry leading ROE is much higher than peers despite zero debt

• This understates the outperformance of RFIL as its best division hasn’t been fully integrated yet

• This also highlights the superior management of RFIL and the value of product specialization versus plain economics of scale

Strengths• Experienced managers have proven skill with consistent growth & profitability

• Financial stability due to no debt gives room for risk-taking and expansion

• Optiflex has gained enormous traction quickly highlighting an underserved need

Weakness• Geographical reach is limited to only North America which limits future growth

• Industry concentration in wireless telecom will pinch as LTE spending moderates

• No vertical integration forces high inventory and bottleneck cash flow

Opportunities• Repeat Optiflex’s success in foreign markets ala Xerox

• Expanding in newer markets such as healthcare when 4G party is over

• New products like low PIM connectors might have potential

Threats• Rip-off Optiflex substitutes from China can cut into sales

• Boom decade ending- the last 15 years was especially profitable starting with dot com boom->3G expansion->smartphone revolution->4G expansion

Valuation

RF INDUSTRIESManagement Presentation

Page 23: RF Industries2.pptx

Valuation: DCF

• Sales driven primarily by wireless industry expansion on 4G/LTE

• In past, revenues have strongly correlated with wireless industry capex

• Gross margins historically at 50%; but will fall as margins at Cables Unlimited in the 30-40% range

• Inventories will continue to be high to maintain quick turnaround times

• Depreciation assumed equal to capex

Strategic Buyers

• Strategic Buyers are firms who would benefit directly by acquiring RFIL

• Generally competitors who might want to augment existing operations

• Other strategic buyers include verticals like wireless carrier clients

Page 29: RF Industries2.pptx

In Focus: Alliance Fiber Optics

• Deals exclusively in fiber optic cables, connectors and other items

– Products are very complementary to RFIL’s coaxial products

– Also supplementary to new optic fiber division of RFIL

• AFOP only caters to the wireless carrier industry

– RFIL can deepen access to carriers

• Very strong geographical synergies

– 60% of AFOP’s revenues from outside North America

– Basically it’s a Chinese company based in California

• As can be seen from the table, both companies are very similar

• AFOP can be a strong contender as a potential acquirer29
