FY14 results were lower than expected due to lower-than-expected smartphone shipments and average selling prices.
The forecast for smartphone shipments for fiscal year 15-16 was cut by 37.9% and 37.5% respectively, due to strong market competition and telecom operators reducing mobile phone subsidies in fiscal year 15.
Coolpad has opened up overseas markets and e-commerce platforms in response to telecom operators cutting mobile phone subsidies for the 15th fiscal year. Telecom operators account for 80% of Kupai's revenue in fiscal 14, and the company is changing its sales channels to e-commerce platforms to reduce the impact of operators reducing mobile phone subsidies in fiscal 15.
