(Telecompaper) HTC said it expects to return to a profit in the second quarter, helped by new devices such as its flagship One M8 smartphones and new mid-range Desire phones. The Taiwanese company forecast quarterly revenue of TWD 65-70 billion, around double the Q1 figure of TWD 33 billion. The gross margin is expected to reach 21.3-22.0 percent, versus 21.0 percent in Q1, and EPS is estimated at TWD 2.21-3.00, after a loss of TWD 2.28 in Q1. HTC said it was seeing strong sales for the One M8 in its home market, as well as solid demand in China, India and the EMEA region. The new phone is also available with all four major carriers in the US, including a special edition with Sprint. The new Desire 816 has also launched in China and is starting to roll out to additional markets.
