(Sony Ericsson) for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 is as follows:
Q2 2010 Q1 2011 Q2 2011
Number of units shipped (million) 11.0 8.1 7.6
Average selling price (Euro) 160 141 156
Sales (Euro m.) 1,757 1,145 1,193
Gross margin (%) 28% 33% 31%
Operating income (Euro m.) 36 19 -37
Operating margin (%) 2% 2% -3%
Restructuring charges (Euro m.) -32 - -
Operating income excl. restructuring charges (Euro
m.) 68 19 -37

Bert Nordberg, President and CEO of Sony Ericsson commented, "Sony Ericsson's
second quarter profitability was affected by the March 11 earthquake in Japan.
We estimate that the impact of earthquake-related supply chain constraints on
our portfolio was close to 1.5 million units, with most of the effect in the
early part of the quarter. Our shift to Android-based smartphones continues
with smartphone sales accounting for more than 70 percent of our total sales
during the quarter. We have shipped more than 16 million Xperia smartphones to
date. We have introduced eight new Xperia smartphones this year and we continue
to see strong consumer and operator demand across the Xperia smartphone
portfolio."
Units shipped during the quarter were 7.6 million, a 31% decrease year-on-year
and a 6% decrease sequentially, due to a decrease in volume caused by
constrained supply of critical components and an anticipated decline in the
number of feature phones shipped.
Average selling price (ASP) for the quarter was Euro 156, a 3% decrease year-on-
year but an 11% increase sequentially. The year-on-year decrease is due to
product and geographic mix and price erosion. The sequential increase in ASP is
attributed to favorable product and geographic mix, more than offsetting price
erosion and unfavorable foreign exchange rates.
Sales for the quarter were Euro 1,193 million, a 32% decrease year-on-year and a
4% increase sequentially.
The gross margin percentage for the quarter was 31% with an improvement of 3
percentage points year-on-year that included restructuring charges, and a
decrease of 2 percentage points from the previous quarter, which included the
benefit of some larger than normal items relating to royalty matters and
warranty estimates.
Loss before taxes for the quarter was Euro 42 million, compared to an income
before taxes of Euro 31 million for the same quarter in the previous year, due
to lower volume. Income before taxes for the previous quarter was Euro 15
million. The sequential change was reflective of lower gross margin and higher
operating expenses.
The quarter ended in a net loss of Euro 50 million, compared to a net income of
Euro 12 million in the same quarter in the previous year, and Euro 11 million in
the last quarter. Tax expenses in this quarter included the impact of tax
adjustments and the distribution of profits and losses between various
jurisdictions.
Cash flow from operating activities during the quarter was negative Euro 224
million, mainly due to increases in accounts receivables and inventories,
negative net income and timing of certain payments. New external borrowings of
Euro 165 million were made during the quarter to enhance liquidity and growth,
resulting in total borrowings of Euro 769 million at the end of the quarter.
Total cash balances at June 30, 2011 amounted to Euro 516 million.
Sony Ericsson estimates that its share in the global Android-based smartphone
market during the quarter was approximately 11% in volume and 11% in value.
Sony Ericsson maintains its forecast for modest industry growth in total units
in the global handset market for 2011.
