Executive commentary Texas Instruments Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Rich Templeton said: “In 2011, we started with strong demand. Customer demand in January and February met our expectations and exceeded the season. Sexual growth, but the earthquake in Japan not only caused a large number of casualties, but also weakened local demand from mid-March, and our two factories there were affected by the operation.

This effect, and the greatly reduced demand for wireless baseband chips, led to revenues that were lower than our expected range. The reduction in revenue combined with the impact of the earthquake has pushed down earnings per share. However, the strong new orders in the first quarter showed that the basic strength of our market is still in place.

The recovery of our Japanese business is proceeding smoothly. One of the plants will soon resume full production, and the other will start producing wafers, which are expected to reach full capacity in mid-July. However, many Japanese customers' own factories have only just reopened, and we and our customers are facing potential supply chain disruptions. We expect the second quarter will still grow, but will also be under pressure from the Japanese situation. As the demand of consumers and businesses is still strong, we expect it to improve in the second half of this year."

Business Expectations TI expects revenue for the second quarter of 2011 to be 3,401-169 million U.S. dollars, and earnings per share will be between 0.52 and 0.60 U.S. dollars.

The consolidated net income was 3.51 trillion won, a decrease of 18% from the same period of last year. The consolidated operating profit was 3.75 trillion won.

In the "Profit Guide" disclosed on July 7, Samsung Electronics expects total consolidated revenue in the second quarter to reach approximately 39 trillion won, of which operating profit will be 3.7 trillion won.

In terms of business units, the Ministry of Telecom had the highest revenue growth in the second quarter. The strong demand for Samsung GALAXY SII smartphones and other mobile devices led to the Ministry of Telecom's sales growth of 43% over the same period of the previous year. Thanks to increased demand for flat-panel TVs, sales of digital media and home appliances have increased since the last quarter.

The operating profit in the second quarter of 2010 broke the historical record. Due to the weak demand for semiconductors and real-world panel business, operating profit in the second quarter of 2010 was lower than that of the same period of last year. The operating profit of the telecommunications business is 1.67 trillion won. With its support, profit and loss can be balanced.

Robert Yi, vice president and investor relations team leader of Samsung Electronics, said: “Although the business environment is full of challenges and the global economy is full of uncertainties, the success of mobile device sales, especially smart phone sales, drives second-quarter earnings. The year-on-year growth has been achieved. Consumer demand for electronic products will generally increase in the third quarter, and competition is expected to continue to be fierce. We will continue to strengthen our cost competitiveness and leadership in the parts and components business."

Capital spending in the second quarter was 5.6 trillion won and the total investment in the first half of 2011 was 11.2 trillion won. Samsung Electronics stated that it is expected that annual capital expenditure will remain unchanged at 23 trillion won, but it may increase semiconductor spending and reduce LCD monitor spending.

Decline in memory demand led to a drop in profits In the second quarter, the consolidated operating profit of Samsung Electronics' semiconductor business was 1.79 trillion won, which was an increase from 1.64 trillion won in the first quarter, but it was 2.94 trillion compared with the previous year. The Korean won has decreased compared to the previous year. Revenue from the semiconductor business was 9.16 trillion won, a decrease of 4% from the previous year. The operating profit rate was 19.6%.

In the quarter, revenue from the memory business reached 5.89 trillion won, a 12% drop from the same period of last year. Since the growth rate of global PC shipments is only in single digits, DRAM demand remains weak. However, the sales of data center and server memory have seen a relatively high growth, and high-density mobile memory products produced by smartphones and tablet manufacturers have also seen a relatively high growth. In order to cope with the continuous oversupply in the market, Samsung Electronics has enhanced its cost competitiveness by further increasing the production of 30-nm-class DRAMs and strengthening the focus on high-value-added products. Orders for mobile devices drove demand for NAND, and spot prices declined during the off-season.

As the demand for mobile application processors and high-quality image sensors rises, sales of LSI business systems increase. Samsung Electronics announced that its foundry business is now ready to begin processing and manufacturing of 28-nanometer grade products while continuing to increase R&D investment.

In the third quarter, despite the high inventory levels of PC makers still attracting attention, the increase in PC seasonal shipments is expected to increase the demand for important DRAM sectors. It is predicted that the demand for NAND will be strong under the drive of smart phone and tablet sales, but its supply will be tight.

The decrease in the price of LCD panels and display panel business income was 7.09 trillion won, a decrease of 9% from the same period of last year and an operating loss of 210 billion won.

As the sales season and China's National Day approaching, the overall shipments of the LCD panel market increased by 8% from the previous quarter. However, slow sales of integrated TVs led to high inventory of panel products. Samsung's overall shipments of panels increased by less than 10% compared to the first quarter.

Although the average selling price of light-emitting diode (LED) panels for notebook PCs and displays has risen steadily, the price of TV panels with a diameter of more than 40 inches has dropped.

Although global economic uncertainties will continue to weigh on consumer demand, with the advent of the peak season, panel shipments for the industry in the third quarter are expected to increase by 6% from the previous quarter to reach 184 million units. Samsung’s goal is to increase the sales volume of premium 3D and smart TV panels while further increasing the efficiency of its production lines and supply chain.

Sales of smartphones driven by profit from telecom services The growth of telecom services, including mobile communications services and telecommunications systems services, resulted in 12.18 trillion won in operating revenue, 1.67 trillion won in operating profit, and an operating profit rate of 13.7%.

Samsung Electronics' mobile communications business revenue increased by 45% year-on-year to 11.69 trillion won. The sales of smartphones such as the Samsung flagship product GALAXY SII, which was launched globally in the quarter, drove a significant increase in the volume of mobile phone shipments. The average price of mobile phones rose by more than 10%.

Samsung Electronics expects mobile phone market demand will grow by more than 15% in the second half of the year, driven by consumer demand for smart phone replacement. In the third quarter, Samsung Electronics will continue to promote sales of GALAXY SII, launch new mobile phone products with lasting innovative technologies to strengthen its product lineup. Samsung Electronics will also introduce multi-size GALAXY series flat products to actively respond to consumers' growing demand for tablet devices. The market performance of Samsung's mobile communication business has reached the established target for 2011: performance exceeds market growth, and operating profit margin has maintained double-digit growth.

Due to the increase of mobile operators' investment in LTE network infrastructure, operating revenue and profits of the telecommunications system business also increased year-on-year.

The digital media and home appliance business reversed the trend of digital media and home appliance businesses—including visual displays, IT solutions, and digital home appliances. In the second quarter, operating revenue reached 14.07 trillion won, and operating profit reached 501 billion won, which was higher than the 1000 in the same period of last year. 100 million won.

Thanks to continued sales of LED TVs in developed and emerging markets, Samsung Electronics’ flat-panel TV shipments and profitability improved. Sales of LED TVs account for about half of the total LCD TV sales, indicating that this new technology has been widely recognized.

On the whole, considering the quarterly reasons, the market demand for flat-panel TVs in the third quarter is expected to increase by about 10%. Samsung Electronics hopes to expand Samsung Smart TV sales through localized applications and content.

Among digital home appliances, sales of high-quality products such as air conditioners and refrigerators enjoyed strong sales growth in South Korea and emerging markets, especially in Latin America.

Intel Intel Announces Q1 Earnings Revenue of $12.9 Billion Over Expectations Industry players have been looking forward to Intel's fiscal report for the first quarter of 2011, mainly because of Intel's special status in the entire PC industry.

The forecast will remain unchanged from the previous forecast. The operating and R&D expenditure will be approximately US$16.2 billion, and will fluctuate by US$200 million, which is higher than the previous forecast of US$15.7 billion.

Paul Otellini, Intel’s chairman and chief executive officer, said: “We crossed an important milestone in the second quarter, with revenue exceeding US$13 billion for the first time. The strong demand for our most advanced technology products in the enterprise market, and mobile devices Rapid growth, growth in demand for data centers driven by Internet traffic, and the rapid development of the computer industry in developing markets are all important factors that drive us to achieve this performance. Intel’s revenue growth reached 23% in the first half of the year, and our performance for the second half of the year Confidence is also growing, and annual revenue growth is expected to reach around 25%."
