Taipei, Taiwan – August 6, 2015 – HTC Corporation (TWSE: 2498), a global leader in mobile innovation and design, today announced consolidated results for its fiscal 2015 second quarter ended June 30, 2015. Key figures:
Weaker than expected demand at the high end, consistent with the current Android market, along with weak sales in China, lead to a year on year fall in the second quarter. Meanwhile, year-on-year shipment volume increases were seen in select key emerging markets.
HTC has begun to implement company-wide efficiency measures to reduce operating costs across the
organization and ensure resources are appropriately allocated to future growth.
“While the current market climate is challenging, I firmly believe the measures we are putting in place
to streamline our operations, improve efficiency and focus, and increase our momentum will start to
show results over the coming quarters,” said Cher Wang, Chairwoman and CEO of HTC. “I am
confident that our smartphone phone and connected devices strategy is the right one for HTC, and our
corporate initiatives will ensure that we deliver on both our vision and business goals.”
HTC continues to invest in promising new product areas such as virtual reality, where the Company is working with over a thousand developers on content creation over a wide spectrum of applications including gaming, entertainment and education, to ensure a compelling ecosystem ahead of the highly anticipated launch of HTC Vive at the end of the year.
