unbeatable profit powerhouse. According to “value share” data provided to
AppleInsider by Canaccord Genuity, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Samsung (SSNLF.PK
) together made up 100 percent of the smartphone industry’s profits in the
first calendar quarter of 2013.
The manufacturers on Canaccord Genuity’s list are Apple, Samsung, LG, Nokia
(NYSE:NOK), BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY), Google’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) Motorola,
Sony (NYSE:SNE), and HTC. Despite the big names, they were not all big
earners, and Motorola actually lent value share to every other company, as
its losses created a curve for the results.

With $8.03 billion in operating income, Apple accounted for 57 percent of
the total smartphone market’s profits. Samsung followed closely behind with
about $6.02 billion, giving it a 43 percent share. Combined, that totals
100 percent of the profits, even though there were still 6 other companies.
Motorola had an operating income loss of $179 million, giving it a negative-
1 percent value share. This made the extra headroom for Apple and Samsung to
make up 100 percent of the value share even while other companies had
positive results.
Compared to Apple and Samsung, the other companies earned next to nothing.
Nokia had an operating income of $5 million, BlackBerry beat that with $17
million, Sony topped that slightly with $19 million, and HTC had a very
minimal $1 million operating income. All 4 companies had a value share of 0
percent. |
