Compal Electronics expects notebook shipments in the second half of 2013 to account for 55% of the total for the year, company president Ray Chen said at a 2013 shareholders meeting on June 21.
Notebook shipments in the third quarter will grow sequentially by less than 10%, Chen noted.
Compal forecasts shipments of 52 million devices in 2013, with notebooks to account for 70%, tablets 18% and all-in-one (AIO) PCs and LCD TVs 12%, Chen said. The proportion of consolidated revenues for product lines other than notebooks for 2013 is expected to be higher than the 20% recorded in 2012, Chen indicated.
Compal is integrating five factories in Kunshan, eastern China, into three plus a warehouse in an attempt to increase overall efficiency, Chen said.
Compal's proposal to distribute a cash dividend per share of NT$1 (US$0.033) for 2012, accounting for 68.03% of the corresponding net EPS of NT$1.47, was approved at the shareholders meeting. |
