Earnings Overview

During the reported quarter, the Company's sales from the Asia-Pacific region were up significantly by 25.2% year-over-year to €667 million, driven by LTE network rollouts in China. Alcatel-Lucent is an LTE network vendor for China Mobile, the world's largest mobile operator, and the Company had won a contract of up to €750 million to help China Mobile to move toward to an all-IP, "ultra-broadband" network. Sales from the European region were up 6% year-over-year (excluding Managed services). The Company also recorded a 2.6% year-over-year decline in sales from North America, a mid single digit decline in MEA (Middle East and Africa) region, and continued to see challenges in the CALA (Caribbean and Latin America) region. The company's adjusted operating income increased three folds to €136 million from €45 million in Q2 2013. During Q2 2014, positive segment operating cash flow was at €96 million, compared with negative segment cash flow of €41 million in Q2 2013. This improvement was mainly a result of an increase of the Access segment operating income. The free research on ALU can be downloaded as in PDF format at:

Alcatel-Lucent is benefiting from its "The Shift Plan" (announced in June 2013) with €94 million of fixed cost savings in Q2 2014 and cumulative fixed cost benefits of €572 million till date. The company also announced its intent to explore the capital opening for its subsidiary Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks (ASN) through an IPO, to raise funds to strengthen company's leadership in telecom submarine systems and also diversify into the Oil & Gas market, to increase its visibility and to optimize capital allocation.

CEO of Alcatel-Lucent, Michel Combes, stated in the earnings press release that the improvements achieved in the second quarter makes it the fourth consecutive quarter to achieve consistent delivery under "The Shift Plan". Mr. Combes added that the company can close the first phase of its transformation as a result of the upcoming reimbursement of senior secured loan in August 2014 and the subsequent recovery of the full ownership of its patents. Moving forward, the CEO sees the company embracing the second phase of its turnaround story by focusing on innovation, transformation, and growth, while maintaining its commitment to return to positive free cash flow in the upcoming year.

The Paris-based Telecom equipment company's quarterly revenues grew 0.7% year-on-year at constant exchange rates and comparable perimeter to €3.28 billion, in line with the Bloomberg analysts' expectation. Alcatel-Lucent's reported net loss of €298 million, or €0.11 per share, compared with a net loss of €885 million, or €0.37 per share during the second quarter of 2013, with the improvement mainly explained by an impairment charge of €552 million in Q2 2013. Analysts at Bloomberg expected a net loss for the second quarter at €84.24 million or €0.02 per share. Sign up and read the free analyst's notes on ALU at:
