EU regulators dropped a bomb on Apple this week with a demand that the
company pay Ireland more than $14 billion in back taxes covering the period of 20032014. The company did not technically evade these payments, they had an
agreement with the government of Ireland to avoid them as part of a deal to base
the company in that country. EU rules forbid member states from providing such tax
breaks to corporations.
Apple had a real sweet-heart deal with Ireland. The tech darling managed to
pay miniscule annual tax rates which varied between 0.0005-1% for the period
covered by the agreements. EU anti-trust official Margrethe Vestager noted that "The
commissions investigation concluded that Ireland granted illegal tax benefits to
Apple, which enabled it to pay substantially less tax than other businesses over many
years."
This back tax penalty is the largest ever levied by the EU and it has ramifications
for many big firms that have used tactics such as "inversion" and other loopholes to
move to EU member states and avoid taxation. While the actual payment will
probably be held up in court for years, it will surely put many big corporations on
notice that their efforts to avoid paying the tax man may come back to bite them in
the long-term.
Of course, the massive $14 billion back tax payment sounds substantive, but the
reality is that Apple is highly profitable in Europe and in the most recent quarter alone
their profits were almost $8 billion. But, the company plans to fight this tax bill and in
the meantime will place the money demanded by the EU into an escrow account.
Apple Inc. (AAPL) is engaged in designing, manufacturing and marketing
mobile communication and media devices, personal computers, and portable digital
music players. The Company's products and services include iPhone, iPad, Mac, iPod,
Apple TV, a portfolio of consumer and professional software applications, the iOS and
Mac OS X operating systems, iCloud, and a range of accessory, service and support
offerings. It sells its products worldwide through its online stores, its retail stores, its
direct sales force, third-party wholesalers, and resellers. Apple Inc. is headquartered in
Cupertino, California.

ValuEngine continues its HOLD recommendation on APPLE INC for 2016-09-01.


Based on the information we have gathered and our resulting research, we feel that
APPLE INC has the probability to ROUGHLY MATCH average market performance for
the next year. The company exhibits ATTRACTIVE Company Size but UNATTRACTIVE
Book Market Ratio.

ValuEngine View Strategy: The ValuEngine View Strategy is the product of a
sophisticated stock valuation model that was first developed by
ValuEngine's academic research team.

It utilizes a three factor approach: fundamental variables such as a company's


trailing 12-month Earnings-Per-Share (EPS), the analyst consensus estimate of
the company's future 12-month EPS, and the 30-year Treasury yield are all used
to create a more accurate reflection of a company's fair value.
A total of eleven additional firm specific variables are also used. The
ValuEngine View portfolio is constructed by integrating both our Aggressive
Growthbased on the Valuation Model--and Diversified Growthbased on
the Forecast Model-- Portfolio Strategies.

invests in a variety of asset classes in order to provide investors with stable

seeks to remain resilient during times of market volatility.
