In a statement provided by the company, for the period January to September Huawei generated revenue of 671.3 billion yuan ($100.4 billion). This value denotes a 9.9% increase compared to what the company generated last year in a similar period.
In the third quarter only, the company posted revenue of 217.3 billion yuan a value relatively higher than the 209.5 billion yuan posted by the company in the same quarter last year.
Net profit margin for Huawei from January to September was 8% slightly lower than the 8.7% net profit margin the company registered in the similar period last year.
Sources have revealed that Huawei is engaging Digital China Group Co Ltd (000063) concerning a potential deal to sell part of its Honor brand smartphone business. The deal could fetch Huawei around 25 billion yuan if it goes through.
