Ericsson not to see profit from 3G until 2004

September 11, 2002

Ericsson's 3G network business will not be profitable until 2004 at the earliest because of operators' delays in rolling out the technology, analysts said.

Also Ericsson's sales next year of equipment for 3G -- an always-on, high-speed technology that enables mobile phones to send and receive multimedia messages -- will be much lower than previously expected, they said.

Of six analysts surveyed, five expect Ericsson to show an operating profit in 3G in 2004, while one said Ericsson would not be profitable in the technology until 2005.

In March analysts had said Telefon AB LM Ericsson, the world's biggest wireless networks maker, would show positive operating margins in 3G as early as 2003.

"I have lowered my forecast since then on the grounds that telecom operators' rollout plans have been further delayed," one analyst said. "Now I expect break-even at the end of 2003 and the first full year with positive operating profits will be 2004."
