Bert Nordberg, President, Sony Ericsson commented, "Our second quarter results
show that the company continued the momentum seen in the first quarter as a
result of our focus on the value market and the success of new smartphones;
Xperia(TM) X10 and Vivaz(TM), launched during the first quarter. These models,
along with the Xperia(TM) X10 mini and Xperia(TM) X10 mini pro which started
shipping at the end of the second quarter, have been well received by operators
and we are now well positioned for long term growth."
Sales for the quarter were Euro 1,757 million, a 25% increase sequentially and a
4% increase year-on-year. Units shipped in the quarter were 11 million, a 5%
increase sequentially and a 20% decrease year-on- year due to the reduction in
size of the product portfolio. Average selling price (ASP) increased 19%
sequentially and 31% year-on-year to Euro 160 during the quarter due to improved
product and geographical mix, as well as positive currency effects.
Income before taxes for the quarter excluding restructuring charges was a profit
of Euro 63 million, illustrating the positive impact of the cost reduction
programme and favourable product mix.
The transformation programme, which started in mid-2008 is now in its final
stages and on target to reduce annual operating expenses by Euro 880 million by
the end of the year. Since the start of the program Sony Ericsson has reduced
its global workforce by approximately 4,000 people to reach a total workforce of
approximately 7,800 by June 30, 2010. The total restructuring charges taken to
date for the programme are Euro 374 million.
As of June 30, 2010 Sony Ericsson retained a net cash position of Euro 609
million, an increase of Euro 46 million sequentially mainly due to operating
results, tight financial management of working capital, as well as positive
currency effects.
Market share in unit base for the quarter remained flat and is estimated to be
around 4%.
Sony Ericsson maintains a forecast of slight growth in units in the global
handset market in 2010.
