ST-Ericsson CEO sees very difficult 2012
Loss-making mobile chip venture ST-Ericsson will face a tough 2012, its new Chief executive Didier Lamouche said on Tuesday.
2012 will be very difficult. Clearly, at coming quarters, we will be challenged, Lamouche said on a conference call with analysts.
Late on Monday ST-Ericsson warned that revenue in the current quarter will fall sharply and posted a fourth-quarter net loss of $231 million, compared with a $177 million loss in the year-ago quarter.
Lamouche said the venture's owners were absolutely ready to increase financing, which is needed to turn the company around.
