Units
shipped in the quarter were 13.8 million, a decrease of 43% year-on-year and a
sequential decrease of 5%. Sales for the quarter were Euro 1,684 million, a
year-on-year decrease of 40%. This was due to continued challenging market
conditions in all regions, particularly in Latin American markets.
Gross
margin improved sequentially, despite lower volumes and sales, driven by a more
favourable product mix and less material write-off costs than the previous
quarter.
Income
before taxes for the quarter, excluding restructuring charges, was a loss of
Euro 283 million compared to a loss of Euro 370 million from the previous
quarter. This was due to the better gross margin, as well as reduced operating
expenses that are a result of the ongoing cost savings program.
“As expected, the
second quarter was challenging and we still believe the remainder of the year
will be difficult for Sony Ericsson. Our focus remains on bringing the company
back to profitability and growth as quickly as possible, and our performance is
starting to improve due to our cost reduction activities. The new product
portfolio that integrates communications, entertainment and social media
applications should contribute to healthier topline development when shipments
start later this year,” said Dick Komiyama, President, Sony Ericsson. “We remain
confident that the actions we are taking will further improve our financial
situation and strengthen Sony Ericsson’s competitiveness.”
As of June
30, 2009, Sony Ericsson retained a good net cash position of Euro 965
million.
Programs
started mid 2008 to reduce operating expenses by Euro 880 million are on track,
with the full benefit expected during the second half of 2010. The total
restructuring charges for these programs are estimated to be well within the
previously announced Euro 500 million. Since the beginning of the cost reduction
programs, the total global workforce has been reduced by 2,350
people.
During the
quarter Sony Ericsson expanded on its strategy of transforming into the
Communication Entertainment brand with the announcement of three new mobile
phones; Aino, Satio and Yari. These phones integrate communications features
with entertainment content and social media applications. In addition, Sony
Ericsson announced the expansion of its content delivery platform, PlayNow™
arena, to include an application store and downloadable movies via
PC.
Sony
Ericsson maintains its forecast that the global handset market for 2009 will
continue to contract by at least 10% from around 1,190 million units in 2008.
Sony Ericsson estimates that its market share was over 5% in the second
quarter.
