Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>China\u2019s Huawei Technologies said on Thursday its first-quarter revenues slipped 13.9 per cent from a year earlier, with new business areas yet to reverse the company\u2019s waning fortunes brought about by being placed on a U.S. sanctions blacklist.<\/p>\n

The Chinese telecoms giant posted revenue of 131 billion yuan ($19.9 billion) in the first quarter, down from 152.2 billion yuan a year earlier, when it was already registering damage to its once dominant handset business.<\/p>\n

The results were in line with forecasts, said Ken Hu, Huawei\u2019s rotating chairman. \u201cOur consumer business was heavily impacted, and our ICT (information and communication technology) infrastructure business experienced steady growth,\u201d Hu said.<\/p>\n

In 2019, the United States placed Huawei on an export blacklist barring it from accessing critical technology of U.S. origin, hurting its ability to design chips and source components from outside vendors. A Huawei spokesperson said the company has taken measures to meet consumer demand for smartphones.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsumers can purchase Huawei smartphones more readily now including the latest best-selling models,\u201d such as its flagship P50 and Nova series, the spokesperson said, without giving further details on chip and component supplies.<\/p>\n

Huawei held just 6.2 per cent of the China handset market in the first quarter, research firm Counterpoint Research said on Thursday. The same quarter, Honor, a unit Huawei sold in December 2020, saw its market share rise to 16.9 per cent.<\/p>\n

Huawei\u2019s first-quarter net profit margin also fell 6.8 per centage points from a year earlier to 4.3 per cent, a drop the company said was due to increased research and development spending and investments in business continuity, as well as the drop in revenue.<\/p>\n

The company spent 142.7 billion yuan, or 22.4 per cent of its total revenue, on R&D, it said in its 2021 annual report last month. Huawei has identified helping businesses to use 5G technology, cloud computing and improving its energy efficiency as ways to bolster revenues, Hu said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
