Lenovo posts surprising quarterly loss
Print Edition
LENOVO Group Ltd, which lost its leading position in the world’s PC market to HP in 2017, posted a surprising loss of US$289 million in the quarter ended in December, the company said yesterday.
Lenovo attributed the loss to a one-time tax charge of about US$400 million related to the US tax reform. But the Trump administration’s tax reform may see the company pay a lower tax rate for its US operations “in the longer term,” market observers said.
In the quarter ended on December 31, Lenovo’s loss came to US$289 million, compared with a profit forecast of between US$124.5 million and US$128 million based on analysts’ estimates. A year ago, Lenovo posted a net profit of US$98 million.
The company’s revenue totaled US$13 billion in the quarter, up 6 percent from a year ago.
The global market for personal computers grew slightly during the quarter amid sluggish demand. Hewlett-Packard has overtaken Lenovo as the world’s No. 1 PC maker, said International Data Corp.
