Alcatel has a good quarter

IT Industry - Strategy

Alcatel has posted revenues for Q1 2006 up 17.6 percent on the corresponding period last year, to Euro 3,067 million. However, at a constant Euro/$US exchange rate the rise was 14.9 percent.
Serge Tchuruk, Chairman and CEO, said: "We saw an exceptionally good performance in our wireline business coming from a favourable geographical and product mix, particularly in our access, optical and IP activities fuelled by strong growth in North America. Our wireless business continues to record good momentum, in all radio technologies spanning from 2G to HSDPA and in all regions, with a highly competitive environment, as foreseen at the beginning of the year. In addition, we continue to increase our investment in next generation mobile technologies to support our momentum with a particular focus on video and mobile TV where we have gained a leading position."

Tchuruk said he expected full year revenue to grow above the carrier market rate, with a lower growth rate for the second half compared to the first half as previously announced. Second quarter revenues are expected to grow in the mid to high single digit range.
