14 DAY TRIAL // Motorola has finally revealed their second quarter results, a few days later than its competitors. As expected, the company has presented disappointing numbers, which show a serious drop in their sales in the past months.
Motorola's sales have been valued at USD 8.7 million, with a handset shipment of 35.5 million units, including shipment of the 100 millionth RAZR and initial shipments of the new RAZR2 and the multimedia MOTO Z8.
Study results have shown that users of Motorola handsets appreciate this producer's design, operation and features. Still, figures show a huge drop, when compared to the nearly USD 11 million earnings from last year's second quarter. Actually, Motorola has registered a continuous drop in sales, since it has not managed to come up with a new mobile phone concept since the release of its RAZR handset model.
Motorola did register some positive figures too until now. The Home & Networks Mobility sales have reached $2.6 billion, 9 percent more when compared to last year's situation. Even more, the Enterprise Mobility Solutions has registered sales of USD 1.9 billion, more than 40 percent next to last year's results.
Those are pretty disappointing figures and isolated cases where the company has actually managed to do good. Because of this reason, Samsung has managed to surpass it, without even reaching great development in the last period. They didn't do all that good either lately, but Motorola has had terrible results, which has made them step back and leave the second place free for Samsung to take.
An official position on the matter has been adopted by Motorola, saying that "This was a challenging quarter for Motorola in which revenue fell short of our expectations due to a decline in mobile device unit shipments", commented Ed Zander, chairman and chief executive officer at Motorola.
Motorola has presented these results during a conference call today, which has also been webcast live with audio.
