HTC Announces Lower Q2 Outlook, Follows Low European Smartphone Demand, US Custom Delays

Posted on Jun 6 2012 - 12:21pm by Editorial Staff

The mobile company HTC today announced unaudited consolidated revenue for May 2012 of NT $30 billion (about $1 billion) and total unaudited consolidated revenue from January to May 2012 is NT $128.8 billion (about $4 billion).

HTC has also revised the 2Q 2012 guidance to be NT$91 billion (about $3.05 billion) in revenue, 27% in gross margin, and 9% in operating margin. This revision includes a one-time charge of NT$2.6 billion to facilitate the clearance of channel inventory for certain products shipped from last year.

Without the charge, the revenue, gross margin, and operating margin would have been NT$ 93.6bn (about $3.15 billion), 29%, and 11.2%, respectively. The revised revenue is due to lower than anticipated sales to Europe, and the delayed shipment and launch of certain products in the US.
