Bert Nordberg, President & CEO of Sony Ericsson commented, Our third consecutive quarter of profitable results illustrates that Sony Ericssons overall performance is stabilising. Our strategy to focus on the smartphone segment is succeeding and smartphones now comprise more than 50% of our total sales. During the quarter, we launched our Android-based Xperia models in new markets, such as China and the U.S., and it is our ambition to become the global number one handset provider on the Android platform. Income before taxes for the quarter excluding restructuring charges was a profit of Euro 66 million following the positive effects of the transformation programme. Net income for the quarter was Euro 49 million, an increase of Euro 213 million year-on-year and of Euro 37 million sequentially. The gross margin percentage was 30% and almost doubled year-on-year, reflective of the company turnaround. Units shipped in the quarter were 10.4 million, a decrease of 26% year-on-year and down 5% sequentially. Average selling price (ASP) in the quarter remained at a high level of Euro 154, a 34% increase year-on-year and a decrease of 4% sequentially, due to product and geographical mix. As a result, sales for the quarter were Euro 1,603 million, essentially flat year-on-year and a 9% decrease sequentially. Sony Ericssons net cash position as of September 30, 2010 was Euro 538 million. The negative
cash flow from operating activities was Euro 54 million, mainly due to payments during the quarter related to the transformation programme. Market share in unit base for the quarter remained flat sequentially and is estimated to be approximately 4%. The value market share is estimated to be approximately 6%. Sony Ericsson maintains a forecast of slight growth in units in the global handset market in 2010.
