Nokia: 1.4 billion euros of losses but the encouraging signs

Translated by Bing :


Business - The Finnish group sees the end of the tunnel with sales of smartphones Windows Phone two times higher than the previous quarter.

The situation is still very critical for Nokia. For its second quarter, the manufacturer still displays results in decline and the abysmal losses. Its turnover lost 19% over one year to EUR 7.5 billion. But this is a little better than in the first three months of the year (+ 3%).

The net loss reached the bagatelle of 1.4 billion euros, it is two times greater than the expectations of analysts who average projected a loss of EUR 655 million. Operational loss is set at EUR 327 million, against a profit of EUR 391 million a year ago. Comment by Nokia: "the quarter was difficult". It is a euphemism.

Side sales of mobile, it is not today that Nokia is the first world back to Samsung. Overall, the group delivered 83.7 million against 88.5 million phones in the 2nd quarter of 2011. The giant claimed in 2008 more than 40% of the market of mobile phones. Today, its part revolves around 20%.
