After a strong 2015 highlighted with handset lens growth and margin turnaround, we
continue to see many multi-year growth drivers for the company, including 1) handset lens
mix improvement and share gains (still at early stages), 2) increased adoption of dual-cam
and other new features such as PDAF, and 3) strong future growth in IoT category such as
vehicle cameras (ADAS), drones/sports cameras, surveillance cameras and VR/AR. We
expect robust revenue growth and margin improvement to continue. Near-term catalysts
include further market share gains in handset lens, pick up in monthly shipments, and
signs of increasing adoption in dual-cam. Our TP of HKD29 is based on 19x 2017E P/E.
Initiate with BUY.
Handset lens mix and share still have lots of room for growth; Sunny a dual-cam leader.
We believe Sunny handset lens mix (17% 8MP of above vs. Largan 85%) and share in China
smartphone (10% in YE15 vs. Largan 40%) still have a lot of room for growth, driven by 1)
increased acceptance by handset brands and penetration into camera module makers, and
2) increasing product competitiveness, and 3) better prices. We forecast Sunny 8MP+
portion rising to 27% this year (vs. 17% in 2015). We believe Sunny Optical is a leader in
dual-cam with more manufacturing experience; dual-cam adoption is still at an early stage
and will likely represent another multi-year growth opportunity, in our view.
An IoT play longer term. We expect non-handset revenue contribution to remain at around
20% in 2016E, but we expect this to be the faster growing segment driven by strong unit
growth in IoT related devices such as vehicle lens sets (7% of revenue but 17% GP
contribution by 2017E), surveillance cameras (smart home/smart city related),
drones/sports cameras, and VR/AR (360 degree cameras). Backed by a strong customer
base, we expect Sunny Optical to be a key beneficiary of the IoT theme for years to come.
Initiate with BUY. We expect EPS to grow at a CAGR of 36% in 2015-17, on revenue
growth of 23% CAGR and continued GM improvement. Shares trade at 19x 2016E P/E
(vs. 5-year average of 16x and 1 S.D. above historical of 22x). Catalysts to share price
include signs of further market share gains in handset lens, pick up in monthly
shipments, and increasing adoption of dual-cam. Given the strong demand outlook and
the favorable competitive landscape, we would be aggressive buyers if shares pull back
to the early April level of around HKD21.5. Our TP of HKD29 is based on 19x 2017E P/E
(1/2 SD above historical).

Strong demand outlook; multiple drivers still ahead
Handset related business (80% of revenue in 2015): On the camera module side, we
expect growth to be largely driven by 1) ASP increase from new feature adoption,
and 2) strong customer base as industry smartphone growth slows. We expect pixel
migration to slow and new features such as dual camera and PDAF to be the key ASP
drivers. For handset lens sets, we expect market share gains to continue, helped by
increasing product competitiveness.
Non-handset business (20% of revenue in 2015): We expect IoT related devices such
as vehicle lens sets (ADAS), surveillance cameras (smart home related),
drones/sports cameras, and VR/AR to be the key drivers here. Sunny Optical has a
strong customer base in each of these rapidly growing segments.

Financials: Robust revenue growth and rising margin
We expect strong revenue growth to continue to be driven by 1) mix improvement from
handset lens sets and handset camera modules, 2) growth in vehicle lens sets, and 3)
growth from other products such as action cameras/drones, VR/AR related devices, and
surveillance cameras. After a five-year margin decline, GM rebounded in 2015 due to
product mix improvement and margin strength in optical components (lens). We expect
GM to continue to gradually improve due to 1) handset lens and camera module mix
improvement and 2) increasing contribution from vehicle lens sets with a GM of around
40% (vs. corporate average of 16.5% in 2015).

Handset lens sets: Mix migration and market share gain story
Mix and share still have lots of room for growth. We note that pixel migration seems to
be slowing in smartphones, as 16MP/20MP adoption seems to be gradual. Galaxy S6 was
a 16MP camera model, but Samsung switched to a 12MP camera this year for Galaxy S7
while still using the camera as a key selling point. We also note that iPhone 6s and the
Huawei P9 are also 12MP smartphones. Smartphone makers seem to prefer new features
over increasing resolution. However, with Sunny Optical’s megapixel mix still low vs. key
competitor Largan (8MP or above accounted for 17% of shipment for Sunny Optical vs.
80% for Largan), we believe Sunny’s pixel mix still has a lot of room to grow. We believe
the company has already achieved good yield rates for lower megapixel products (8MP or
below), but still has room for improvement for 10MP and above.

Handset camera modules: dual cam and PDAF the focus
Sunny Optical is a leader in dual-cam. Among the regional camera module makers, we believe Sunny is a leader in dual camera modules as 1) it was a supplier to the Honor 6 Plus dual-cam (around 1-2 years ago), and 2) the company is developing software algorithm to accompany its dual-cam solution, offering more values to customers. Dual-cam may become a key driver to camera module revenue as its ASP is more than twice as high vs. single camera module. We believe the company is a leading supplier also for the recently launched Huawei P9. However, while design-in for dual-cam is picking up

(as commented by camera modules/lens makers), we currently do not have visibility of a strong dual-cam ramp-up this year, outside of the leading international brands such as Huawei and Apple. We believe software capabilities remain a hurdle for some smartphone makers.
Phase detection auto focus (PDAF) to see wider adoption. We believe PDAF may see
faster adoption vs. dual-cam and OIS due to 1) the importance of fast and precise focus
(consumer preference), and 2) absence of significant extra cost. We estimate camera
modules with PDAF have a 15% ASP premium and will likely get adopted at 13MP camera
or higher. PDAF is a technology commonly used in DSLRs and works particularly well in
bright environments.

Vehicle lens sets still has strong multi-year growth ahead
We believe vehicle lens sets still have strong multi-year growth outlook ahead, after 48%
CAGR in 2013-15. Sunny Optical is likely the #1 vehicle lens set provider to the
automobile industry with about 30% market share, and the company expects its
shipment to grow another 30% YoY or more in 2016E. We view this target as reasonable
and slightly above the industry growth rate expected by the industry. We note that
although most US vehicles this year already have a rear-view camera as standard, there is
ample room for growth as 1) we expect the number of cameras per vehicle to increase
(front/side cameras) as some mid-tier models (MSRP USD30k or above) already have
options for front/side cameras, 2) ADAS technology is being adopted by vehicles outside
of the US (especially in Europe), and 3) new (Tesla) and traditional car makers are pushing
into self-driving.

Addressing VR/AR: 360 cameras may become more meaningful
We believe the direct contribution from VR/AR devices to Sunny Optical will remain
limited in the foreseeable future as shipments of higher-end VR headsets will remain
relatively small. While the lens requirement of VR headset is low, we believe the 360
degree camera has more growth potential from the VR/AR perspective. The 360 degree
camera is used to capture 360-degree pictures and videos, offering a new way to capture
the user experience. The growth in VR may help drive 360 degree camera shipment as
the device is also used to generate VR content. Similar to VR technology, the prices of 360
degree camera have come down significantly to drive consumer demand.
360 degree camera is one of Sunny Optical’s key focus areas. While unit shipment may
remain small, each camera comes with at least 2 glass lens sets (vs. handsets which use
plastic) and usually has high specs requirement (higher ASP).

Company profile: Well prepared to capture growth opportunities
Solid 2016 full year outlook
Sunny Optical targets handset camera module shipment growth of 15-25% YoY, and sees
dual camera modules as a key focus. For the optical component business, the company
targets handset lens set shipment growth of 20-30% YoY, after a very strong growth year
in 2015. Instead of focusing on volume growth, the company is shifting its focus to mix
improvement. For vehicle lens sets, the company expects strong growth to continue, and
targets shipment growth of over 30% YoY.
We expect gradual GM improvement to continue
Optical component GP now the biggest profit contributor and to grow further. Optical
components accounted for 48% of GP in 2015 (vs. 2013/14 31%/30%), and surpassed
optoelectronics products (camera modules) for the first time. We believe the increased
contribution is largely driven by 1) strong growth in handset and vehicle lens sets, 2)
margin improvement due to better product mix, better yield and utilization, and 3)
increased insourcing. With the lens set business likely to continue faster growth than
handset modules, we expect optical components’ contribution to continue to grow.
Increased R&D/capex to drive growth opportunities
Sunny Optical’s revenue grew at a 3 year CAGR of 39% in 2012-15, driven largely by
growth in the China smartphone market in the earlier years, then later by
handset/vehicle lens growth, customer market share gains, and improved product mix.
To sustain this healthy growth outlook, management plans to increase R&D and capex
spending to increase capacity and develop new growth drivers in the longer term.

2015 R&D spending tripled vs. 2012, and to rise another 30% in 2016. Sunny Optical’s
R&D spending rose from RMB163m (4.1% of sales) in 2012 to RMB502m (4.7% of sales) in
2015. Based on the guidance provided by the company, we estimate the company plans
to spend about 5.1% of sales (or RMB671m) in 2016. The company owned 269 patents at
the end of 2015, compared with 164/239 patents at YE13/YE14. Government grants rose
from RMB20m in 2014 to RMB41m in 2015 which are accounted in other income.
Capex to rise to RMB600-700m to increase capacity and seek new opportunities. Sunny
Optical spent about RMB200-400m per year in capex in 2012-15, but will increase capex
spending to RMB600-700m in 2016. Of the total, about RMB100-200m will go to handset
lens sets for capacity increase and automation; RMB200m will go to increasing handset
camera module capabilities; RMB50m goes to capacity increase in vehicle lens sets, and
about RMB200m will go to development of new projects as the company has reached scale
in lens sets and smartphone growth slows further. Sunny Optical’s handset lens capacity
will reach 40m/month by YE16 (4 piece standard), vs. around 30m/month in YE15.

Strong customer base
A 1st
-tier customer base: Apart from strong R&D and partnerships which led to improved
product offering to customers, we believe its strong customer base is also one of the key
growth drivers for the company. In addition to its strong customer base in smartphones
which includes the top Chinese smartphone vendors (Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO and others)
and Samsung, the company counts many of the first-tier OEMs (Continental, Delphi and
others) as customers in the auto space (vehicle cameras), as well as customers for other
applications such as GoPro (sports camera), Hikvision (surveillance cameras), and DJI and
Parrot (drones). Huawei is at the forefront of dual camera modules, and the company
targets to ship 140m units of smartphone in 2016 (+30% YoY), positive for Sunny Optical.
Competitive landscape: Narrowing the gap with the top lens supplier
Largan still the clear leader in handset lens, but Sunny gradually narrowing the gap.
Sunny Optical’s optical component revenue grew 62% YoY vs. Largan’s total revenue
growth of 16%, suggesting Sunny has gradually increased its share in the lens industry. As

9
a proportion of total revenue (among Sunny optical component/Largan total/Genius
total), Sunny’s share rose from 11% in 2014 to 15% in 2015. Due to better yield and
product mix, Sunny’s optical component GM rose from 26.7% in 2014 to 35.1% in 2015
(vs. Largan 53.5% in 2014 to 57.4% in 2015), gradually narrowing the margin gap.
Target to become China’s #1 lens supplier longer term. Chinese and Korean (Samsung)
smartphone vendors account for a large majority of Sunny Optical’s handset lens set
shipment. At YE15, Sunny Optical’s market share among the Chinese smartphone vendors
was around 10% vs. Largan at 40%, suggesting Sunny’s handset lens shipment may see
significant growth over the next few years. We believe Sunny Optical is offering
competitive pricing to grow its share, and its Chinese handset customers and camera
module makers are also increasingly receptive to Sunny’s handset lens products.
Competitive outlook remains relatively favorable, in our view. We believe the lens set
industry is largely made up of 3-4 key vendors (Largan, Sunny Optical, Kantatsu (not
listed), and Genius) today, making it more favorable compared with other smartphone
component sectors. Margin has largely remained on the uptrend helped by specs
upgrade, with new growth drivers on the horizon. While Largan and Sunny continued to
grow, Genius’ 2015 revenue fell 17% YoY. We believe Kantatsu may become increasingly
competitive in the Apple supply chain, but this is unlikely to lead to intensifying
competition among China smartphone lens suppliers.

Valuation: Well supported by strong visibility and outlook
Strong growth outlook; multiple growth drivers. Valuation is well supported by strong
earnings growth. We expect strong growth to continue, driven by 1) mix improvement
and continued growth in handset lens, 2) growth in vehicle lens sets and other
applications, and 3) rising camera module ASP on dual camera. After a period of strong
growth in 2012-15 with EPS CAGR of 25%, we forecast Sunny Optical’s EPS to see a CAGR
of 36% in 2015-17.
Initiate with BUY. Shares are trading at 19x 2016E P/E (vs. 5-year historical average of
16x and 1 SD above of 22x). Our 2016/17 EPS estimates are 1%/4% above consensus
largely due to a better revenue outlook. Our TP of HKD29 is based on 19x 2017E P/E (vs.
5-year average of 16x and 1 S.D. above historical of 22x), on ROE of 25.7%/27.1% in
2016/17. Initiate with BUY.

Risk:
Weakness from key customers. The growth outlook of the 1st
-tier Chinese
smartphone makers remains relatively healthy. However, if smartphone shipment of
these customers turns out to be softer than expected, our positive outlook on
handset camera and handset lens shipment may be at risk.
Intensifying competition in handset camera modules. Handset camera modules
competition remains intense as we currently expect handset camera module GM to
remain flat YoY despite product mix improvement. However, if competition turns out
to be more intense than expected, margins may be under pressure.
