Play Fair Day Analysis Jeff Marowits, Principal: jmarowits@keystonestrategy.com Irshad Allana, Analyst: iallana@keystonestrategy.com Joseph Quan, Analyst: jquan@keystonestrategy.com Analysis of competitive disadvantage experienced by licensed manufacturers in emerging markets with rampant piracy
About the Keystone Strategy study • To date, piracy research has primarily investigated licensing enforcement drivers, as well as the rates and impact of rampant piracy in emerging nations (like the BRIC countries) - specifically as piracy harms firms in developed markets such as the United States. • Microsoft commissioned Keystone Strategy to study enterprise piracy in a new way – by focusing on companies within emerging markets taking steps to play by the rules and reduce piracy. • ---- • Today, we release the results of Keystone’s first-of-its-kind study, in which we tackle the following critical issues regarding the future of piracy reduction and growth of innovation in emerging economies: • 1. The perceptions and attitudes (distinct from enforcement) of emerging market companies taking positive steps to reduce piracy and play by the rules. • 2. The financial impact of competitive disadvantage that firms playing by the rules face when their competitors engage in piracy.
Our study focuses on manufacturing firms because they are the drivers of rapid economic growth in emerging markets • In China, the world’s fastest growing economy, manufacturing accounts for almost 40 percent of GDP. Source: Local government websites, CIA World Factbook

Perceptions and attitudes of emerging market manufacturers playing by the rules
Key findings from extensive research and interviews with manufacturers in emerging markets • We studied the perceptions and attitudes of firms that play by the rules to understand the competitive landscape and their motivations (distinct from enforcement) with respect to IP • We arrived at four primary insights: • Protection of intellectual property is necessary for the growth of innovation • IT is a point of competitive advantage and differentiation – these firms are industry leaders in large part because of their use of technology • Firms are well-licensed because it’s the ethical decision; pirating software contradicts their corporate commitment to integrity and honesty • Licensed IT in particular has many technical benefits – it gives them the assurance of partnership with software firms which keeps their operations running at optimal levels 1 2 3 4
Leading international manufacturers that play fair in emerging markets provide a deeper understanding of perceptions and attitudes regarding intellectual property Source Hoovers, OneSource, company annual reports, comments by HNG and Severstal results of direct interviews by Keystone, Crystal SA (Fabrica) and Great Star data result of third-party research.
Value of IPR: Intellectual property protection is necessary for innovation growth in emerging markets “I see much improvement in piracy in Russia in recent years and I expect it will lead to more innovation and more software development since both of them are connected.” Evgeny Charkin, Chief Information Office at Severstal “The international community has attached even greater importance to IPR and innovation. China should never be lax in its IPR protection efforts as it moves towards a high-tech industry and other knowledge-based industries.” Dr. Zhipei Jiang, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Peoples’ Court IPR Tribunal “IPR [intellectual property rights] violations not only hurt businesses in Russia, but cost the Russian government billions of rubles in uncollected revenues from counterfeit products evading taxes and duties… IPR violations are barriers to new investment and impede Russia’s effort to join the WTO.” Peter Necarsulmer, President of Coalition for Intellectual Property Rights Source BRIC manufacturer interviews, IT case studies, comments by HNG and Severstal from interviews by Keystone, Crystal SA (Fabrica) and Great Star from third-party research.
Value of IT: IT is a point of competitive advantage and differentiation – these firms are industry leaders in large part because of their use of technology “Software is critical to our business. Our board believes that it is a key differentiator of our business and a source of competitive advantage.” Evgeny Charkin, Chief Information Office at Severstal “IT has increased the efficiency of the whole operation, not just the production process. Things are much clearer when we have access to the information at the right place at the right time. In terms of information technology, everything in the business gets faster; all the production processes and supervisory controls are integrated and automated. And since glass manufacturing is a continuous process, it is important that the information is quickly available.” Bharat Somany, Director at Hindusthan National Glass & Industries Ltd Source BRIC manufacturer interviews, IT case studies, comments by HNG and Severstal from interviews by Keystone, Crystal SA (Fabrica) and Great Star from third-party research.
Ethical reasons behind licensed IT: Pirating software contradicts the corporate commitment of licensed manufacturers to integrity and honesty “When a company uses information technology illegally in its manufacturing process, there is without doubt an act of unfair competition, because some costs are avoided affecting the price of the final product. It is like avoiding payment of social benefits, evading taxes or not complying with the minimum environmental rules.” Jose Manuel Gutierrez, Manager of IT at Fabrica (Crystal SA) “We are a business with a very good reputation and strong ethics - we want to maintain that reputation. We do not steal.” Evgeny Charkin, Chief Information Office at Severstal “Transparency is something that starts vanishing pretty quickly when you [pirate software]. Not only do you hide from others, but you end up having things in your own company that are hidden from you… there is no accountability when you go in for pirated software.” Bharat Somany, Director at Hindusthan National Glass & Industries Ltd Source BRIC manufacturer interviews, IT case studies, comments by HNG and Severstal from interviews by Keystone, Crystal SA (Fabrica) and Great Star from third-party research.
Technical benefits of legal IT: Licensed IT gives companies the assurance of security and frequent updates, which keep their operations running at optimal levels “The way I see it, if you don’t actually buy the software, you have a black box – you can’t get any support on it and you cannot really build it up to be a solution which you would benefit from… No software is perfect and does need multiple iterations…That doesn’t work unless you paid for it and have a proper license for it that gets you instant access to updates.” Bharat Somany, Director at Hindusthan National Glass & Industries Ltd “This [incorporating IT] has been very essential to the improvement of our business processes.” Evgeny Charkin, Chief Information Office at Severstal “We will establish a long-term partnership with Microsoft to set up an effective software asset management mechanism. This mechanism will help make our software license management more dynamic, optimize the allocation of our software assets and provide better service to the company.” Great Star Industrial Source BRIC manufacturer interviews, IT case studies, comments by HNG and Severstal from interviews by Keystone, Crystal SA (Fabrica) and Great Star from third-party research.
Keystone’s study calculates impact and key statistics that influence competitive disadvantage Methodology Step 3: Estimate the number of disadvantage-bearing PCs in well-licensed manufacturing firms Step 1: Estimate the total number of licensed PCs in manufacturing firms Step 2: Calculate the portion of licensed PCs that belong to well-licensed firms Step 4: Assess competitive disadvantage at a national level • Estimate extent of compliance of well-licensed firms 5 • Segment “well-licensed” firms as those with above-average compliance • Calculate annual software spend for disadvantage-bearing PCs • Determine lost ROI suffered by licensed manufacturers • Determine total number of PCs in manufacturing 1 3 7 Determine number of licensed PCs at well-licensed firms compared to those pirated at “poorly licensed” firms 6 Estimate number of licensed PCs in manufacturing firms 2 8 Determine number of licensed PCs in well-licensedfirms 4
Step 1: Estimate the total number of licensed PCs in manufacturing firms Total manufacturing employees * PC to Employee ratio 99M Manufacturing employees * 0.17 Ratio Total manufacturing employees from government statistical reports • PC to Employee ratio from Keystone analysis using survey data Number of PCs in manufacturing * Enterprise compliance rate = Total number of licensed PCs in manufacturing 16.6M PCs in manufacturing * 31% compliance = 5.2M licensed PCs • Enterprise compliance rate estimated through Keystone analysis of BSA piracy data Sources: BRIC government statistical reports, BSA Global Software Piracy Study, Keystone Strategy analysis
Step 2: Calculate the portion of licensed PCs that belong to well-licensed manufacturing firms Well-licensed firms characterized as those with a compliance rate higher than the national average Total number of licensed PCs in manufacturing * Percent of licensed PCs in well-licensed firms = Number of licensed PCs in well-licensed firms 5.2M licensed PCs in manufacturing * 79% of licensed PCs in well-licensed firms = 4.1M licensed PCs in well-licensed firms Percent of licensed PCs in well-licensed firms estimated from normal distribution adjusted with observations from internal Microsoft studies *Note: Licensed PCs are distributed among well- and poorly licensed firms; even poorly licensed firms license some PCs, though in smaller quantities Sources: Microsoft internal data on customer piracy rates, BSA statistics, Keystone Strategy analysis
Step 3: Determine the number of disadvantage-bearing PCs in well-licensed manufacturing firms • * Note: onlylicensed PCs in well-licensed firms above the compliance rate of average poorly licensed firms contributes to the disadvantage Number of licensed PCs in well-licensed firms * (Percent compliance of well-licensed firms – Percent of compliance of poorly licensed firms) = Number of disadvantage-bearing PCs at well-licensed firms 4.1M licensed PCs in well-licensed firms * (54% compliance of well-licensed firms – 12% compliance of poorly licensed firms) = 1.7M disadvantage-bearing PCs at well-licensed firms • Extent of compliance above average poorly licensed firms is obtained by calculating the difference between the average well-licensed and poorly licensed firms’ compliance rate • Average compliance of well-and poorly licensed firms estimated from internal data for emerging market countries Sources: Microsoft and Keystone Strategy internal data, BSA Global Software Piracy Study, Keystone Strategy analysis
Step 4: Assess competitive disadvantage created on a national level Number of disadvantage-bearing PCs at well-licensed firms * Software cost per PC 1.7M disadvantage-bearing PCs at well-licensed firms * $2,194 per manufacturing PC Software costs from Keystone analysis of software costs and usage rates in manufacturing firms; prices from official local resellers Total software costs for disadvantage-bearing PCs in well-licensed firms / Enterprise software lifecycle * Potential return on invested capital = Annual competitive disadvantage created by piracy $3.75B software costs for disadvantage-bearing PCs in well-licensed firms / 5 year software lifecycle * (1.1164) ROIC = $837M of annual competitive disadvantage created by piracy Enterprise software lifecycle of 5 years used to determine annual competitive disadvantage Return on Invested Capital is a conservative average from financials of emerging markets manufacturers Sources: Licensed software resellers in BRIC nations, Microsoft support site, IT professional interviews, financial data from emerging market companies
