Vestel is a Turkish home and professional appliances manufacturing company consisting of
18 companies specialised in electronics, major appliances and information technology.

2.2 Growth Strategy in the Main Fields of Operations3
Vestel’s future growth strategy in its main fields of operations, namely consumer electronics,
white goods, digital products and information technologies, consists of four components:
Improving market diversification
Vestel aims to become a more active player in markets outside Europe, its major export
market, where it is one of the leading ODM providers. Vestel evaluates opportunities for new
investments, partnerships and contract manufacturing in these regions in order to facilitate
the Company’s access to these markets and ensure future growth.
Increasing customer and product diversity
Vestel aims to expand its market share by increasing its A brand customer base in the ODM
business as well as by widening its product diversity. To this end, the Company aims to
increase the production of the more profitable larger screen TVs in consumer electronics
whiles meeting all the needs of its A brand customers by widening the product range in white
goods
Brand-centered growth
While Vestel continues to expand its ODM business product diversity, it also aims to grow its
own brand. In the domestic market, Vestel plans to increase its market share with its own
brands by improving its brand image, distribution capabilities and after sales service quality.
The Company also aims to improve its operations and reinforce its market position in the
surronding region, again with its own brand
Gaining market share in new areas of use
One of Vestel’s strategic priorities is to grow in products with similar technology to those
which it manufactures, but which have different areas of use. Entering into new product lines
besides TVs in the consumer electronics, digital products and IT sectors, Vestel aims to gain
significant market share in these areas by capitalizing on its technological know-how,
economies of scale and purchasing power. In the coming period, Vestel aims to focus more
on institutional sales given the demand potential for these products

4 Industry Environment
4.1 Nature of Competition
Vestel faces various competition in both it’s local and international Markets . In the Turkish
market , not only does it compete with imported electronics and white goods with a world-
renowed brand , but they also compete with local electronics and white goods giants like
Arçelik A.Ş which has over 10 production plants in Turkey and accounts for a 7 per cent
share of the European free-standing appliances market and 5 per cent of the OBM market7
.
Other competitors locally include Bosch GmbH , a German-owned electronic and white
goods company that employs of 7,500 workers in Turkey8
and has posed a strong
competition to Vestel due to its famed brand name .
Indesit Company S.p.A., an Italian domestic appliances manufacturer (washing machines,
dryers, dishwashers, fridges, freezers, cookers, hoods, ovens and hobs)9
and distributor with
an industrial area in Turkey is more than a threat to Vestels electronic manufacturing and

5 Current Assets
5.1 Resources
Resources in and of themselves confer no value. It is only when resources are put to some
productive use that value follows. This analysis defines resources by two categories: tangible
and intangible. Vestel’s tangible resources include financial, physical, organizational and
human resources. Intangible resources include intellectual and technological resources.
5.1.1 TangibleAssets
5.1.1.1 FinancialResources
A company’s financial resources concern its ability to finance its chosen strategy and
operations.
Three types of financial resources to be considered are Vestel’s financial strength,
profitability and cash balance. Financial strength looks at business risk. From a financial
standpoint the stronger a company is the less risky it is. The current ratio, which compares
total current assets to total current liabilities, is a measurement of a company’s overall risk
and hence its financial strength. Vestel’s most recent quarter (4th
Quarter 2014 ) , Current
Ratio was 0.9610
. The current ratio must be
greater than or equal to 2, which means that the company holds current assets equal to twice
the amount of current liabilities. Vestel doesn’t meet this criterion. Companies that meet this
criterion are typically financially secure and defensive. The Gross Margin ratio is a measure
used to measure a firms overall profitability .
The Gross Margin value measures the percent of revenue left after paying all direct
production expenses. Vestel’s trailing twelve month Gross Margin is 20.22%11
. Vestel
Elektronik Sanayi Ve Ticaret AS's total assets for the quarter that ended in Sep. 2014 was
₺6,952 Mil.12

5.1.1.2 PhysicalResources
Some examples of Physical resources include manufacturing plants e.t.c . Vestel can boast
of a state-of-the art one million square metres Production and Manufacturing plant situated

5.2 Vestel's core competencies and competitive advantages
Product diversification strategy14
Vestel responds to the differing needs of customers in the EU countries that are its principal
market through its product diversification strategy. Vestel is the world's most flexible
manufacturer of consumer electronic goods today. Viewing an order for 100 units as just as
important as one for 10,000, Vestel is able to tailor its mass production operations according
to the needs of each order.This ability is what enables Vestel today to turn out 3,000 models
of 20 million units a year for 300 different labels on its three main production lines.
Comprehensive logistical services and product flexibility
Vestel regards its proficiency in logistics and distribution as a key element in its ability to deal
with customers' orders for different quantities of a huge range of products. The proximity of
the Company
to all European markets means that its shipping distances are much less than those of its
Asian competitors and this translates into a significant cost advantage.
A network that embraces the globe
Goods manufactured by Vestel reach consumers in Turkey and 103 countries around the
world through more than 1,200 outlets. This great network underlies Vestel's strength in the
areas of design,
production, point distribution, and management of the regulatory framework.

Vestel designs, manufactures, and point delivers all its products with
customers'demands in mind. In EU markets, where regulatory management has
become so important, Vestel is preferred because of
its ability to provide fully compliant service.
An externally oriented business model
Vestel's business model is straightforward, intelligible, and externally oriented. The bonds
between Vestel and its customers are based on transparency, longterm relationships, and
mutual trust. Vestel
keeps abreast of innovations for its customers and involves its customers in the design stage
so that it can manufacture and deliver at both high volumes and low. This is what we mean
when we say that Vestel is an externally oriented company.
Economies of scale
Consumer electronics is a business in which scale is of the utmost importance because scale
is crucial to keeping costs under control and thus to one's ability to price competitively. With
an annual production capacity of 12 million televisions (which is to be increased to 14 million
in 2005), the Company is the third biggest TV maker in the world. This fact gives Vestel
enormous buying power in the procurement of components, which represent the most
important items of cost in consumer electronics.
Vestel is one of the top three customers of the world's biggest suppliers of components for
use in consumer electronics.
The customs duty advantage
The Customs Union between Turkey and the EU is a natural competitive advantage for
Vestel. The Company's ability to export goods duty-free to EU countries as a result of this
union makes it strong in contending with competition from Asia. Something else that
contributes significantly to Vestel's competitive advantage is the EU antidumping laws.
A strong brand and a strong market position
Vestel is strongly positioned in Europe's television market, of which it commands a 26%
share. Maintaining strong and long term relationships with its principle customers, Vestel
does not compete
directly with their European brands and also enjoys a high degree of brand recognition in
Turkey. The Company believes that this attribute in the national market will create a
significant leverage effect, particularly in the case of its line of major home appliances, which
is still in the midst of its growth phase.
