Units
shipped in the quarter were 25.7 million, a sequential increase but flat
year-on-year, while sales for the quarter were Euro 2,808 million, a decrease of
10% compared to the third quarter of 2007. Most of
this decrease reflects the impact of exchange rate fluctuations, as well as a
shift of the product mix to more lower priced phones. Gross margin also
decreased year-on-year and sequentially due to continued price pressure at a
time of adverse cost trends in the supplier base. This was
partially mitigated by the introduction of new products at the end of the second
quarter, such as the C902 Cyber-shot™ camera phone, which is selling well;
however, strong competition continues, particularly in Europe. Income before
taxes for the quarter was Euro 12 million, excluding restructuring charges of
Euro 35 million, a decrease compared to the third quarter of
2007.
Average
selling price (ASP) for Sony Ericsson decreased both sequentially and
year-on-year in line with levels seen in previous quarters. This is
due to selling more lower priced phones and increased price competition in the
market for mid- to high-end phones. Sequentially, market share for the
third quarter remained flat and is estimated to be around 8%.
“As
expected the third quarter has continued to be challenging for Sony
Ericsson. We have moved forward with our plans to align operations and
resources with the consolidation of R&D facilities into a more agile and
cost efficient organisational structure. As previously announced, our target
remains to reduce operating expenses by Euro 300 million annually by the end of
the second quarter 2009, with the full effects expected to appear in the second
half of 2009. These plans are progressing in line with expectations,” said Dick
Komiyama, President, Sony Ericsson. “We are committed to executing our alignment
plan as speedily as possible to ensure we have the right size and organisational
structure to return the business to healthy profitability.”
During the
third quarter Sony Ericsson announced PlayNow™ plus, the next step in its music
service offering. PlayNow™ plus is a high speed and high quality music download
service for both the phone and PC that will launch in the fourth quarter with
Telenor in Sweden with a special edition Sony Ericsson W902 Walkman® phone
integrated with the PlayNow™ plus service. Further roll-outs of the service are
planned with other network partners around the world in early 2009.
Sony
Ericsson also announced a number of new phones in the quarter, including three
new Walkman® phones, its first UMA handset (G705u) and the first models with
integrated You Tube™ connectivity (W595, W902, G705). In addition, Sony Ericsson
started a major marketing initiative to launch its first multimedia convergence
phone under the new sub-brand; Xperia™, and started shipping the phone, the
Xperia™ X1, at the end of the quarter.
As
communicated previously, Sony Ericsson paid a second dividend to the parent
companies totalling Euro 300 million (Euro 150 million each) in the quarter
based on 2007 earnings, and at the end of September 2008 Sony Ericsson had net
cash of Euro 1.4 billion.
Sony
Ericsson forecasts that the global handset market for 2008 will grow at a rate
of around 10% from more than 1.1 billion units in 2007, while the industry ASP
will continue to decline. The majority of this growth is expected to be in
emerging markets where lower priced phones dominate.
