In the last three months of the current year profit of the Taiwanese company HTC has made a record low of 2.8 million dollars and the total income stood at around $ 1.4 billion. The first quarter of 2013 will be remembered for HTC the lowest rate of profit in the company's history.





For comparison, income and net profit HTC according to the results of the first quarter of 2012 was $ 2.2 billion and us $ 470 million, respectively. Most investors were waiting for HTC to more positive results and had high hopes for the flagship smartphone HTC One, the output of which was postponed. It is the delay of the HTC One inflicted a crushing blow on the financial side of the Taiwanese company. In late March, the HTC One went on sale only in three countries out of the planned 80.
