HTC reports 2012 first-quarter results

Taoyuan, Taiwan, April 24, 2012 – HTC Corporation (TWSE: 2498), a global leader in mobile innovation and design, today announced consolidated results for the first quarter of 2012.

1Q 2012 results

HTC’s first quarter revenue was NT$67.79bn, with gross margin of 25.03% and operating margin of 7.53%. Net profit and EPS were NT$4.47bn and NT$5.35, respectively. The decline in revenue was primarily a result of the product transition cycle, with new product line sales beginning to ramp at the end of the first quarter. Gross margin was impacted by the margins of older products, and lowered scale contributed to a lower operating margin during the quarter.

“The last two quarters were a ‘rebuilding’ period for HTC,” said Peter Chou, CEO of HTC. “We focused on creating and launching our next family of hero products, the HTC One, while continuing to grow our brand awareness and preference globally. The market response to the One has been very positive and—combined with regionally focused devices—we believe it will take HTC into its next phase of growth.”

The HTC One—unveiled at Mobile World Congress in February—and available in different regions throughout the next few months, has enjoyed strong customer endorsement with more than 140 inaugural global operators and distributor partnerships. In addition to the global launch of the One, HTC demonstrated its commitment to the China market with the launch of the HTC Desire V series, bringing a premium experience to the vastly growing mass smartphone market. It has also launched the EVO 4G LTE with Sprint ensuring broad coverage for HTC in the US smartphone market. In addition, HTC and KDDI launched the HTC J smartphone, bringing the Japanese-styled look and feel with customized local features.

HTC’s new global marketing campaigns kicked off in April, supporting its hero device launches and taking a more holistic and efficient approach to global marketing to expand its brand equity and preference. Through this ongoing global campaign, the company will deliver a unified global message across its key channels and from this HTC expects to see an increase in both brand value and sales momentum.

2Q 2012 Outlook

The Company’s outlook for the second quarter of 2012 is as follows:
- • 2Q revenue expected to be around NT$105bn
- • Gross profit margin expected to be around 27%
- • Operating margin expected to be around 11%
1Q 2012 Conference Call and Webcast

HTC will host its quarterly conference call in Chinese beginning at 4 p.m. (Taiwan Time, GMT+8), and quarterly conference call in English beginning at 8 p.m. (Taiwan Time, GMT+8) on Tuesday April 24, 2012. The conference call in Chinese will be webcast live with audio and slides at：

HTC One Series Unveiled

HTC One™ Highlighted by an Amazing Camera and Authentic Sound Experience
Unprecedented momentum for HTC One series – available beginning in April with broad global availability through more than 140 mobile operators and distributors.

BARCELONA, SPAIN – Mobile World Congress – February 26, 2012 – HTC, a global designer of smartphones, today unveiled its new HTC One series of smartphones that represent its most premium mobile experience with a new level of iconic design and amazing camera and authentic sound experience.

“The best moments in life are captured with a photo or remembered by a song, so it was key for the HTC One series to improve these emotional experiences with an amazing camera and authentic sound experience,” said Peter Chou, CEO of HTC Corporation. “We are very focused on creating a camera and audio experience customers will love and use often and we believe the HTC One series delivers this in a way never seen on a phone before.”

With HTC’s most premium experience, the HTC One series integrates Android 4.0 (ICS) with HTC Sense™ 4, the new version of HTC’s branded user experience that is introducing HTC ImageSense™, a new suite of camera and imaging features that set HTC One apart from other phones. HTC Sense 4 also includes broad enhancements to audio quality and simplifies how people listen to music on their phone.

Amazing Camera
With ImageSense HTC One rivals traditional digital cameras with improvements to every part of the camera, including the lens, the sensor, the software, and even integrating a new custom HTC ImageChip. These enhancements combine to deliver our fastest image capture, best image quality under adverse conditions and easiest interface that enables quick access to capturing stills and videos with side-by-side photo and video capture buttons.

Superfast Capture - HTC One dramatically reduces the time it takes to capture those key moments. In just 0.7 seconds you’re able to take a shot, and with a new superfast 0.2-seconds autofocus, continue to take nearly unlimited continuous shots simply by holding the shutter button.

Good photos in adverse conditions - HTC One delivers dramatic enhancements in image capture quality even in adverse conditions such as low light, no light or with bright backlighting. The f/2.0 lens on the HTC One X and HTC One S offers best-in-class performance, capturing 40 percent more light than the f/2.4 lenses available on other high-end phones. HTC One also includes HDR, a market-leading technology, for taking great photos even when there are varying levels of brightness.

Video Pic (Concurrent Video/Still Capture) – With Video Pic you capture a photo and shoot video at the same time. Now, while you’re shooting HD video, all you have to do is tap the shutter button and it snaps a high-resolution still photo while the video continues to shoot. You are also able to capture a photo frame from a previously recorded video.

Dropbox integrated with HTC Sense - HTC One gives you an easy way to save and share your photos and videos. HTC has integrated Dropbox into HTC Sense 4 enabling HTC One customers to get 25 gigabytes of free Dropbox space for two years. That’s enough to keep more than 10,000 high-quality photos. Dropbox is also integrated throughout HTC Sense 4, so it’s easy to edit, save and share your documents and other kinds of files.

Sharing your photos and more - HTC One gives you a new way to share your photos and videos. When you plug in HTC’s wireless Media Link HD* accessory into your TV’s HDMI port, you can easily share your photos, videos, or anything else on your phone with your friends, family or colleagues regardless of the television’s brand as long as it has HDMI.

Authentic Sound
With HTC One, Beats By Dr. Dre Audio™ integration is enabled for the first time across the entire experience for richer, more authentic sound whether you’re listening to your favorite music, watching a YouTube™ video or playing a game. HTC One also makes it easy to get and listen to your music on your phone with the built-in HTC Sync Manager software that automatically installs to your computer when connected. Once connected, it is easy to transfer songs, artists and playlists from your music library.

Of course, people today no longer just listen to the songs stored on their phones; they use streaming services and tune into Internet radio. So HTC One lets you customize the new Music Hub with your favorite services and music applications, like the latest Soundhound technology, giving you one place to go for all of your music.

HTC One lets you take all of your music anywhere, including the car. With HTC One, you get an easy way to bring your mobile music to your car’s sound system with the HTC Car Stereo Clip*. It also lets you connect to your music through more than 50 thousand online radio stations worldwide or play music from any service or app on your phone through your car speakers. All this makes HTC One the one place to enjoy all your music, wherever you are, with the power of Beats By Dr. Dre Audio and HTC Car.

HTC One X
The HTC One X features a beautifully crafted polycarbonate unibody that has the ruggedness of metal but is super lightweight. With seamless construction, the unibody combines a unique high gloss 'piano' finish and a matte back. HTC One is blazing fast with the new NVIDIA® Tegra 3 Mobile Processor for clear graphics, faster applications and longer battery life. It includes a 1.5GHz Super 4-PLUS-1™ quad-core with an integrated fifth Battery Saver Core and a high-performance 12-Core NVIDIA® GPU. The HTC One also has an amazing 4.7-inch, 720p HD screen crafted from contoured Corning™ Gorilla Glass. HTC One X will also be available in select 4G LTE markets with a LTE-enabled Qualcomm Snapdragon S4™ processor with up to 1.5GHz dual-core CPU’s.

HTC One S
The HTC One S is for people who want a high-end smartphone in a more compact size. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor with up to 1.5GHz dual-core CPU’s. It also includes a 4.3-inch screen crafted from contoured Corning™ Gorilla Glass. HTC One S brings HTC’s innovative metal unibody styling to a new thin 7.9-mm design, making it HTC’s thinnest phone yet. The HTC One S sports two new finishes that break new ground in mobile phone innovation. The first is an ultra-matte black Ceramic Metal surface that is the result of a microarc oxidation (MAO) process originally developed for use in satellites. It transforms the surface of the aluminum unibody into a ceramic, super-dense crystalline structure that is four times harder than anodized aluminum, enabling the HTC One S to look great over time. The second finish for the One S takes anodizing to a new level with a new patented process that creates a light-to-dark gradient fade that looks gorgeous and sophisticated.

HTC One V
Utilizing the classic, award-winning design of the HTC Legend, the HTC One V brings top-end design to a smartphone with broad appeal and a premium experience that delivers an amazing camera and authentic sound. It features a simple, iconic aluminum unibody design that exudes craftsmanship and quality.

Global Availability
With unprecedented excitement, the HTC One series will begin shipping in April with broad global availability available beginning in April through more than 140 mobile operators and distributors globally. For more information and to pre-register for HTC One visit www.htc.com.

HTC Reports Fourth-quarter And Annual 2011 Results

Taoyuan, Taiwan, February 6, 2012 – HTC Corporation (“HTC”, or the “Company”, TWSE: 2498), a global leader in mobile innovation and design, today announced consolidated results of the Company and its subsidiaries for the fourth quarter of 2011 and for the year.

4Q Highlights
• After-tax profit was NT$10.94bn, EPS was NT$13.06
• Total revenues were NT$101.42bn
• Gross profit margin and operating margin were 27.12% and 12.71%, respectively

2011 Highlights
• After-tax profit was NT$61.98bn, up 56.77% year-on-year; EPS was NT$73.32
• Total revenue was NT$465.79bn, up 67.09% year-on-year
• Gross profit margin and operating margin was 28.30% and 14.77%, respectively
• ROE was 70.37% compared to 56.33% in 2010

“In 2011 we saw growth in the global strength of our brand, as well as earnings and revenue growth,” said Peter Chou, CEO of HTC. “While short term performance may not meet the results as expected, we have gained further experience and advancement in the areas of brand management and product innovation. These fundamental strengths and the groundwork we have laid will take us into 2012 with a renewed focus and determination.”

4Q 2011 Results
HTC’s fourth quarter revenue came in-line at NT$101.42bn, resulting in after-tax earnings of NT$10.94bn and EPS of NT$13.06. Gross profit and operating margins came in at 27.12% and 12.71%, respectively. The decline in gross profit margin was mainly a result of product transition.

2011 Results
2011 annual revenue was NT$465.79bn, a 67.09% increase over 2010 annual revenues (NT$278.76bn), resulting in after-tax earnings of NT$61.98bn. Overall gross profits and operating margins were 28.30% and 14.77%, respectively.
In 2011, in addition to solid growth in revenues and profits, HTC’s brand gained significant momentum in the global landscape, being named one of Interbrand’s 100 Best Global Brands.

2012 Outlook
In 2012, HTC will focus on: growing the Company’s brand value; continuing to create competitive advantages through innovation; enhancing the efficiency of marketing campaigns; and further driving down operating costs.

To expand its brand preference and value, HTC will work at a global level to build emotional connections with consumers, putting more of its marketing resources behind fewer products and driving value in those product brands. By building a globalized marketing campaign, HTC aims to optimize its go-to-market strategy with operators, retail distributors, and end-users, and improve the efficiency of its marketing spend. In emerging markets, such as China, HTC will continue to extend its reach to customers by expanding distribution channels.

Despite temporary weakness resulting from product cycle transition, HTC believes it has the ability to create a new wave of momentum through the upcoming product cycle. It will also continue its attention on mass market consumers by driving product differentiation through design and innovation.

1Q Outlook
The Company’s outlook for the first quarter of 2012 is as follows:
• 1Q revenue expected to be around NT$65-70bn
• Gross margin expected to be around 25%
• Operating margin expected to be around 7.5%

These margins are a temporary phenomenon and will normalized when product cycle transition is over.

Conference Call and Webcast
HTC will host its quarterly conference call in Chinese beginning at 4 p.m. (Taiwan Time, GMT+8), and quarterly conference call in English beginning at 9 p.m. (Taiwan Time, GMT+8) on Monday, 6 February, 2012. The conference call in Chinese will be webcast live with audio and slides at：

HTC Corp (TAIEX: 2498) tillverkar kraftfulla telefoner som kontinuerligt flyttar fram de innovativa gränserna för en absolut mobil frihet.
HTC grundades 1997 av Cher Wang, styrelseordförande, och Peter Chou, koncernchef och verkställande direktör, och företaget gjorde sig snabbt ett namn som tillverkaren av många av marknadens mest populära produkter under olika operatörers varumärken. HTC har etablerat unika partnerskap med viktiga mobila aktörer, bland annat de fem största operatörerna i Europa, de fyra största i USA och en rad snabbväxande asiatiska operatörer. Företaget har också lanserat produkter med branschledande OEM-partners, och sedan juni 2006 även under sitt eget varumärke HTC.
HTC är en av mobilbranschens snabbast växande företag, och har uppnått betydande framgångar de senaste åren. Business Week rankade HTC som det näst mest framgångsrika teknologiföretaget i Asien under 2007, och gav företaget en tredje plats på sin globala topplista 2006.
Sedan övergången till sitt eget varumärke har företaget lanserat tjugotals HTC-produkter över hela världen.

I början av 2007 kom uppföljaren HTC Shift med Windows Vista, en fantastisk tryckkänslig 7-tumsskärm och 40 GB hårddisk.

HTC lanserade HTC Touch™ i juni 2007 efter ett omfattande forsknings- och utvecklingsarbete och övertygelsen att det är mer intuitivt att navigera med fingrarna. Banbrytande HTC Touch™ är utrustad med TouchFLO™ som gör att användaren kan svepa med fingret över skärmen för att öppna vanliga program, bläddra i kontakter och välja funktioner med en enkel fingerrörelse.

HTC har som mål att kontinuerligt utveckla smarta produkter som ger mobila användare möjligheten att leva ett friare liv.
