Since Google in May 2012, cost 12 billion dollars (about RMB 75 billion) acquisition in the Motorola: trend of development and has been concerned. 9 months after the acquisition, Motorola while gradually recovers, but for Google continues to be dragged down a considerable profit. In the first quarter of 2013, for Google, this problem will become more serious.

In December last year, Google owned family business unit, Motorola set-top boxes, routers, and other non-manufacturing sectors sigh of relief packages to the hardware sector US $ 2.35 billion ($ 14.6 billion yuan) sell, laid off thousands of employees. This means that Google had to release this year and may not include Motorola, two sets of results. Now for Google, Motorola can be regarded as a persistent problem. Google’s mobile phone and tablet computer sector this quarter announced a loss of $ 353 million (approximately RMB 2.2 billion yuan), while $ 523 million in the previous quarter (about RMB 3.2 billion) compared to some improvements, but overall, Motorola brought about by loss amount is also an upward trend.

Although Motorola RAZR Series handsets (including the RAZR and RAZR m HD) after the acquisition as Google’s first mobile phone achieved good results, but it’s not Google really want the ultimate form of Motorola production. So Google in the future if the continue to develop mobile phone products, does not rely entirely on Motorola for the production. Although Motorola has been working to reinvent their product lines, for both Google and Motorola, however, still needs a lot of time.

Google CFO Pichette said, while Motorola lost $ 353 million this quarter, but Google remains very concerned about Motorola’s profitability in the future, because after all, Google is a commercial company, for sustained a loss on the sale is clearly not Google wants. At this stage, for losses from Motorola, Google’s Android system have always brought advertising income and other subsidies. This status will be maintained up to Motorola to find genuine product profit model, Pichette analysts warn the outside world not to Motorola have too high expectations in the short term because as Motorola’s stand, it will be a long process. For Motorola, Google is now, and will continue to support the production of new products and new technologies, not only is the company’s business practices, in a way, this is Google in acquiring Motorola’s responsibility.
