AB Electrolux to Report Smaller Q2 Loss than Previously Anticipated, and Sales Growth in June

Leave a comment

STOCKHOLM, July 8, 2020 — Electrolux said today it will report a smaller loss for the second quarter of 2020 than previously anticipated, with operating income estimated to be approximately SEK -100 million (1,219). This was driven by sales growth in June and successful cost mitigation actions. In the Q1 interim report published on May 7, 2020, Electrolux communicated that it expected a “significant” loss in the second quarter.

Net sales in the second quarter are estimated to be approximately SEK 23.5 billion (29.2), a decrease of 17% organically. In June, however, the Group had an organic sales growth of 3%, year-over-year. All figures in this press release are preliminary and unaudited, and the final report for the second quarter of 2020 will be published on July 17, 2020 at about 0800 CET.

In April, demand and production in several of Electrolux main markets were severely impacted by the strict countermeasures initiated by local authorities to limit the spread of the coronavirus. Electrolux Group sales in the month were down by approximately 30%.

As restrictions gradually have been lifted, markets primarily in Europe have developed more positively than expected in the latter part of the quarter. In addition, the APAC & MEA business area has been well positioned with its products; particularly in Australia, contributing to earnings during the quarter.

The strong execution on cost mitigation actions, including furloughs for employees in several markets and significantly reduced discretionary spending, has resulted in a more favorable net cost efficiency in the second quarter than previously anticipated.

Electrolux will not make any further comments until the second quarter interim report has been published.

Never Be Lost In Translation Again: Timekettle’s Revolutionary World First Offline Translation Feature for WT2 Plus Translator Earbud Redefines International Communication

Leave a comment

LOS ANGELES, July 4, 2020 — The team at Timekettle is proud to announce the launch of an offline translation feature, the latest software upgrade to its flagship device, Timekettle WT2 Plus translator earbuds. The software upgrade is also available across its other translation products.

Timekettle WT2 Plus Offline Translation

The innovative new feature is a world first, currently offering seamless in-ear translation between Chinese, French, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish, and English without the need for an internet connection. Timekettle – compatible with both iOS and Android – opens up a new world of natural communication possibilities for people around the world, moving toward more organic translations where the focus is always on talking to people, rather than the mechanics of translation software.

“Whether traveling for business or pleasure, multilingual conversations have long been a source of frustration. Online translators were a great innovation, but for those on the streets and far from an internet connection, relatively useless. With the WT2 Plus’ new offline capabilities, Timekettle has opened a whole new world of limitless communication,” said Leal Tian, CEO of Timekettle.

“We are always looking for ways to add more value to our products so that our users enjoy the maximum benefits. Unlike many tech companies in this space, our focus is on intimate human to human interaction, rather than the more mechanical interaction of human and machine back to human again.”

The offline translation feature marks the latest improvement in a series of upgrades in the past six months. In that time, Timekettle has boosted its language pairs, bringing users fluent access to over forty languages with ninety-three accents while also bolstering its global infrastructure with two new servers in Moscow and Sao Paulo, bringing the total up to fourteen.

The AI translator’s ability to capture conversations with up to 93% accuracy on the go has won it many fans. “We are constantly working on improving our service so that people can communicate effortlessly, no matter where they are,” added Tian. “More than just helping the world to talk, we’re invested in continually working to make the Timekettle experience as user-friendly, convenient, and efficient as possible.”

About Timekettle

Founded in 2016, Timekettle Technologies is committed to building a global brand of AI translator by integrating cutting-edge technology and innovative design through the combination of artificial intelligence and hardware technology.

Leave a comment

GUANGZHOU, China, June 19, 2020 — The ongoing 127th and the first-ever digital China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) is supporting more than 1,000 companies from less-developed regions to have access to the international trade market, with exhibitors increasing by 62.3 percent.

On this global platform of the Canton Fair, companies can fully present their products to both domestic and foreign buyers without exhibiting on site, saving time, cost and resources.

“Since 2017, Canton Fair has helped more than 3,000 companies from less-developed areas with more than 5,000 exhibition booths,” said Quandong Liu, Deputy Director General of Foreign Affairs Office of Canton Fair. “And now we are helping them move online to explore the international market.”

Canton Fair introduces targeted measures for poverty alleviation

Shifting to online platforms, the Canton Fair is facilitating target measures, setting up barrier-free access for companies from less-developed areas, such as waiving of entrance and any other service fee and providing training on online marketing skills.

Tian Yongqiang, general manager of Baoyisheng pharmaceutical company in Longde town in China’s Ningxia province, said that his company is located in the northwest of the country. They are not able to attend many trade fairs due to the limited transportation access, and the online Canton Fair has provided opportunities for them to tackle such challenges as well as to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We have met many new buyers in our live stream rooms in the past two days. We will take this advantage to sell our quality products to the international market.”

Market potential for less-developed areas discovered at the Canton Fair

Raw agricultural products are highlighted at this year’s Canton Fair introduced by companies from less-developed areas, as they have geographic advantages of agriculture such as high altitude, sufficient sunlight, pollution-free environment as well as huge temperature difference between day and night.

Chen Yu, general manager from Yasheng International trade company from China’s Gansu province, believes that with more people looking for a healthy lifestyle, raw agricultural products have huge market potential in the international markets.

“We have brought fennel, dried white melon seeds and cumin as well as pepper and Chinese red dates to the Fair. Many international buyers have shown interest to our products when they visit our live stream showroom.”

Green tea from a Yi autonomous county in Mabian, Sichuan province, is another popular product at the Fair. Feng Min, deputy general manager of Jinyuchun Tea company, noted that their tea was popular with buyers in Japan and Europe. The company has brought premium yellow tea that features more green tea polyphenols and amino acids to its platform to explore new orders.

“In our live stream showroom, we can start a direct conversation with each other, as buyers can virtually see the details of dried tea leaves as well as the process of steeping tea.”
