Acer Expects Jump in Q3 Revenue

Published: 03 September 2009
 by Staff

TAIPEI, TAIWAN – The second half of the year is looking good for Acer. Third-quarter consolidated revenues are forecast to climb 35% sequentially, with fourth-quarter revenues possibly up an additional 10%, according to CEO Gianfranco Lanci.

He expects third-quarter notebook shipments to increase 35% to 40% sequentially, with fourth-quarter sales potentially higher based on consumer reaction to the Windows 7 launch.

The second-quarter operating profit ratio was 2.56% as a result of successful operating cost management. The ratio could increase to 3% in the second half of 2009, according to Lanci, and reach 4% in 2010/11.

Currently, ultra-thin notebooks account for 20% of Acer’s shipments; that number is expected to reach 30% by the end of 2009.
