Following huge sales slump and cut throat competition from Chinese and
Indian brands, Samsung announced its Q2, 2014 financial statements in
South Korea on Thursday. The company made a net profit $6.1 billion,
which is a stark decline of 19.6 percent when compared to Q2 2013.
According to Samsung, the decline in profits was due to stagnant
demand for smartphones and tablets as well as strong Korean currency.
In fact, Samsung had to spend a lot of marketing money to sell their
remaining inventory. Samsung also stated "the second half of 2014 will
remain a challenge and the prospects for growth remain unclear as
competition over global market share intensifies in the mobile
industry."
Samsung reassured to its investors that they would "focus on releasing
new premium mobile devices and a new flagship model in the large
screen category, along with new mid-to-low-end models with more
advanced features and competitive pricing." Samsung promised a diverse
product range of wearable devices in its Galaxy Gear line-up.
