放放鸽子裁裁员，RIM今年也就这样了？

Research In Motion公司(RIM)日前发布2013财年第一季财报出现亏损。而真正让分析师们感到震惊的是RIM同时宣布其下一代新产品── BlackBerry 10 智能手机将延迟到明年才会推出。 RIM公司发布第一季营收为28亿美元，较上一季的42亿美元以及去年同期的49亿美元下滑。RIM在2013年第一季的净亏损达5.18亿美元，相形之下，上一季净亏损为1.25亿美元，而去年同期的净利则有6.95亿美元。 RIM还告诉分析师们，由于软件整合的问题，原本指望能扭转该公司命运的 BlackBerry 10 将延迟至2013年才发布。RIM在其财报新闻稿中说： “过去几周以来，RIM公司的软件开发团队在开发 BlackBerry 10 平台方面已经取得了重大进展；然而，这些功能的整合以及整合于平台中所需的大量程序代码比预期的更耗费时间。因此，公司预期要在2013年第一季才能推出首款 BlackBerry 10 智能手机。” 据业界媒体报导，分析师们已调降RIM公司股票的目标价，并预期RIM公司的现金储备可能会在几年内消耗殆尽。 “在RIM发布第一季财报数字远远不如预期以及延迟至2013年初才发布新一代产品后，至少已有10家证券商下修RIM股票的目标价格，有些甚至调降高达50%。” RIM公司的股价在纳斯达克(Nasdaq)盘前交易中一度下跌16%。野村证券指出：“如果RIM持续如此运作下去的话，我们认为这家公司最终将会失败。” “我们预期RIM将难以成功地扭转其财务状况，即使在明年推出 BlackBerry 10 后也一样，”这家证券经纪公司预期RIM将逐渐衰退，甚至可能在2020年以前宣告失败退场。 为了节省现金支出，RIM还表示将裁员5,000名员工。 编译：Susan Hong 本文授权编译自EBN Online，版权所有，谢绝转载 本文下一页：参考英文原文：RIM's Loss Widens; BlackBerry 10 Delayed ，by Barbara Jorgensen, News of the Day

{pagination} RIM's Loss Widens; BlackBerry 10 Delayed Barbara Jorgensen It was no surprise that Research In Motion Ltd. (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; Toronto: RIM) reported a loss for its first fiscal quarter of 2013. What did surprise analysts was RIM's announcement that its next product, the BlackBerry 10, will be delayed until next year. RIM announced on Thursday revenue of $2.8 billion for the quarter, down from $4.2 billion the prior quarter and $4.9 billion in the comparable year-ago period. The company reported a net loss of $518 million for Q1 2013, compared with a net loss of $125 million the prior quarter and net income of $695 million in the year-ago period. RIM also told analysts that BlackBerry 10, the product slated to reverse the company's fortunes, would be delayed due to software integration snags. In its earnings press release, RIM said: Over the past several weeks, RIM’s software development teams have made major progress in the development of key features for the BlackBerry 10 platform; however, the integration of these features and the associated large volume of code into the platform has proven to be more time consuming than anticipated. As a result, the Company now expects to launch the first BlackBerry 10 smartphones in market in Q1 of calendar 2013. According to Reuters and other media reports, analysts cut their price targets on RIM's stock and speculate that RIM could actually run out of cash: At least 10 brokerages cut their price targets on the stock, some by as much as 50 percent, a day after the company reported worse-than expected quarterly results and said it would delay the launch of its next-generation device to early 2013 from late this year. RIM shares were down 16 percent in pre-market trading on the Nasdaq. "If RIM continues to be run as it is, we believe that the company will eventually fail," Nomura Equity Research said. "We do not expect RIM to successfully drive a turnaround of its financials, even with the launch of BB10 next year," the brokerage said in a note to clients, adding that its model assumes that RIM disappears by 2020 in a gradual decline. RIM also said it would be cutting 5,000 workers in an effort to save cash.
