Slashes dependence on PC


Inventec has succeeded in reducing its reliance on PC product lines, with the revenue proportion now less than half of its bottom line.

A May 10 investor’s conference heard how Inventec had been working to reduce its dependence on PC lines as the industry dries up and it appears the plan has been a success.

Notebooks, desktops and servers together accounted for 83.1 per cent of consolidated revenues of US$2.94 billion for the first quarter of 2016, smartphones and hand-held mobile devices for 12.4 per cent and crystalline silicon solar cells and PV modules for 4.5 per cent, Inventec said.

Gross margin for first-quarter 2016 was 5.92 per cent and its net operating profit $55.61 million and net profit $41.89 million Inventec's ODM sever clients include Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Dell and Lenovo. The company has been seeing demand from direct shipment datacentre clients and this is expected to grow.

China's search engine Baidu, e-commerce operator Alibaba and web portal Tencent, are all wanting lots of gear Inventec said.
Inventec Appliances, Inventec's mobile device ODM subsidiary, aims to ship 75 million hand-held devices in 2016, including 20-30 million smartphones.
