EExxhhiibbiitt 22:: Stock Performance of Cloud Exposure Companies versus Capex Trend Stock Performance Capex Growth Rate 160% 140% 120% 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% -20% -40% 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Source: Thomson Reuters, Morgan Stanley Research. Excludes Samsung from the share price performance given limited server exposure relative to significant market cap Companies with exposure to cloud infrastructure demand identified in Exhibit 1 historically trade in tandem with capex trends (Exhibit 2). In years where capex growth decelerated meaningfully (2010-12, 2015 YTD), the market cap for the group of stocks with cloud infrastructure contracted whereas in years capex growth remained stable (2013-14) market cap for exposed stocks expanded meaningfully (by 26-30%). We expect this correlation to hold going forward and see the deceleration in capex growth in 2015 continuing to weigh on share price performance. 2
