(Telecompaper) Asus reported second-quarter sales of TWD 99.37 billion, up 4 percent from a year earlier but 3 percent versus Q1. Operating profit rose 7 percent year-on-year to TWD 4.72 billion, while net profit was down 3 percent from a year ago to TWD 4.66 billion. Asus shipped a total 4.8 million computers in the quarter, down from 5.4 million in Q1, while mobile device shipments increased over the same period to 6.0 million units from 4.5 million. The mobile growth came mainly from smartphones, which increased to 5.0 million units from 3.0 million in Q1. Computers still accounted for 61 percent of revenue, and mobile devices were good for 22 percent; Asus aims to reverse this and generate a majority of sales from mobile by 2018. For the third quarter, Asus targets growth in both product categories, to 5.4 million computers and 7.8 million mobile devices.
