ZTE revenue growth slows in Q3

2015-10-27 11:55:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) ZTE reported a slowdown in revenue growth in the third quarter. The Chinese equipment maker said revenues in the first nine months of 2015 rose 16.5 percent year-on-year to CNY 68.5 billion, compared to annual growth of 21.8 percent reported for the first half of the year. The company's net profit was still up over 42 percent in the nine months to CNY 2.6 billion (USD 409 million). ZTE said the growth was led by increased sales of optical network products and LTE equipment to carriers. Revenue at the Carrier Networks division rose by more than 22 percent in the first nine months, and revenue from telecommunications software systems, services and other products increased by 45.8 percent, helped by higher sales of video and network terminal products.

Netflix customer growth slows in US, still strong abroad

2015-10-15 08:45:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Netflix reported a slowdown in customer growth in the US in the third quarter, but grew faster than expected at its international activities. In the US, the company added 0.88 million new streaming customers, less than the 1.15 million forecast, for a total 44.83 million. Netflix blamed the weak performance on the transition to chip-based payment cards in the US, which led to higher "involuntary churn". At the international activities, the company gained 2.74 million customers, more than the 2.4 million forecast, for a total 25.99 million customers at the end of September. Total revenues rose to USD 1.581 billion from 1.223 billion a year ago, in line with the company's guidance, while net profit dropped to USD 29 million fro USD 59 million due to the costs of expanding abroad. Continued spending on original content also led to negative free cash flow of USD 229 million in the quarter. Netflix said losses from the international operations are expected to increase on a sequential basis in Q4, as the streaming service launches in the new markets of Portugal, Spain and Italy. Customer growth is forecast at 1.65 million in the US and 3.50 million abroad in the final quarter of the year, and revenues are expected to grow to USD 1.67 billion.
