"Asustek Computer announced consolidated revenues of NT$20.7 billion (US$673 million) in April, a slight increase of 2% on month and a increase of 19% on year, while the company's spun-off OEM/ODM businesses, Pegatron Technology and Unihan Technology, saw consolidated revenues of NT$33.76 billion, a slight increase of 1.7% on month. Although the motherboard and graphics card markets are still in the slow season, stable notebook shipments and increasing Eee PC shipments assisted the three companies to see growth in April.
Pegatron and Unihan shipped around 2.45 million motherboards/desktop PCs and 730,000 graphics cards in April, while shipping 700,000-750,000 notebooks (Eee PC not included). Since the second quarter is the traditional slow season for the PC market, Asustek expects its revenues for the quarter will see a sequential drop within 5%, while its motherboard shipments, which has the highest gross margin for the company, will also see a drop and relatively reduce the company's overall gross margin to 17-20%."
