    Huawei turns in 13.1% revenue rise amid US pressure

    Consumer electronics By Agency Staff13 July 2020

    Huawei Technologies, the telecommunications firm and number two smartphone maker, on Monday reported a 13.1% rise in revenue in the first half of the year, showing slower growth as US officials continue to pressure the company’s suppliers and customers.

    Revenue rose 13.1% to 454-billion (US$64.9-billion) in the first half of the year, compared to 401.3-billion yuan the year before. However, the company’s growth rate was down from 23.2% in the first half of 2019. Huawei said net profit margins were 9.2%, up from 8.7% in the first half 2019.

    The Chinese technology company posted the rise even as American officials have put increased pressure on the company’s suppliers and customers. The company sells 5G networking equipment to carriers and smartphones and laptops to consumers.

    Research firm IDC reported Huawei was the second largest phone maker in the first quarter of 2020, with 17.8% market share

    American officials placed Huawei on a blacklist in May last year, restricting sales to the company of US-made goods such as semiconductors. Huawei built up inventories and also continued to design its own chips and have them manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co and others.

    In May, US officials announced new rules aimed at constricting Huawei’s ability to self-supply chips, an ability that is critical to its efforts to sell 5G networking gear.

    Faster growth

    The first half results showed faster growth than Huawei’s first quarter results released in April. For the first quarter, revenues rose by about 1% to 182.2-billion yuan, versus 39% growth posted a year previous. Net profit margin in the first quarter narrowed to 7.3% from about 8% a year earlier.

    Huawei did not report unit shipments of phones. Research firm IDC reported Huawei was the second largest phone maker in the first quarter of 2020, with 17.8% market share, behind first-placed Samsung Electronics and ahead of number three, Apple.  — Reported by Stephen Nellis, (c) 2020 Reuters
