HTC has released their quarterly earnings, and the trend that has plagued them for the better part of this year is still happening: the company is losing revenue. This quarter HTC had revenue equal to $2.4 billion dollars with a net profit of only $137 million. That number is down almost 50% from last quarter when the company had about $250 million in profit.
If this trend continues HTC will find itself in big trouble by year"s end so here"s hoping their brand new Windows Phones and HTC One X+ model succeed.
Here follows the official press release:
