Lenovo posts quarterly loss on restructuring costs
2015-11-12 09:12:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Lenovo reported a net loss of USD 714 million for its fiscal second quarter to September, compared to a profit of USD 262 million a year earlier. The result included USD 599 million in restructuring costs and a USD 324 million one-time charge to clear smartphone inventory. Lenovo said it was on track to realise around USD 650 million in cost savings in the second half of the fiscal year and USD 1.35 billion on an annual basis. Quarterly revenues were still up 16 percent year-on-year to USD 12.2 billion and rose 23 percent excluding currency effects, while the gross margin fell to 13.0 percent from 13.9 a year ago. The sales growth was largely due to the acquisition of Motorola, which helped the Mobile Business Group double revenues year-on-year to USD 2.7 billion. Motorola contributed USD 1.4 billion in revenue. However, the MBG's posted a pre-tax loss of USD 217 million for the quarter. The PC Group saw revenues fall to USD 8.1 billion, and pretax profit was down 17 percent to USD 406 million. Lenovo said it suffered from currency fluctuations, hurting demand in the EMEA region and Brazil. The Enterprise Business Group, which includes servers, storage and software, recorded sales of USD 1.2 billion, up 5.5 times from a year ago thanks to the acquisition of IBM's System x business, which contributed USD 900 million in sales. The enterprise division still had a pretax loss of USD 33 million.

Energy Measurement Tools Make Processes More Efficient While Reducing Costs
2015-11-11 10:16:58| oilandgasonline Downloads
By Steffen Brauers, KROHNE Rising energy prices have made accurate energy measurement a hot topic in recent decades. The need for accurate measurement technologies extends to many different application areas, including heating and cooling; compressed air; steam production and distribution; heavy fuel oil consumption; energy monitoring; and custody transfer. In response, new technology is being developed that integrates tasks previously requiring several measurement devices. The new technology provides far higher accuracy than older systems that require separate devices for all measurement tasks. One example is KROHNE’s OPTISWIRL 4200 vortex flowmeter, which features integrated pressure and temperature compensation. With an accuracy of 1.5 percent, it is 2 to 3 times more accurate than older systems in which the individual measurement devices have accuracies between 3 and 5 percent.
