Huawei Single SitePower Solution Creates Four Synergies to Accelerate Site Intelligence
DUBAI, UAE, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — During the 9th Global ICT Energy Efficiency Summit in Dubai, Huawei showcased its next-generation digital and intelligent site power facility solution Single SitePower, which is set to drive the intelligent transformation of ICT energy infrastructure. Themed 'Green Site, Building an Intelligent Future,' the Summit brought together industry leaders and energy experts from leading operators, tower companies, and industry organizations worldwide gathered at the event to discuss the energy transition for greener ICT. Global operators and tower companies are facing a wide range of energy challenges. The communications industry consumes 2.5% of the world's electricity, with base stations accounting for over 60%. Along with the rapid development of new technologies such as AI, network traffic and energy consumption are surging. Additionally, power shortages, aging infrastructure, and natural disasters put immense strain on network resilience and evolution. To help overcome these challenges, the Single SitePower solution leverages technological innovations to build four intelligent synergy systems, helping operators build simple, green, resilient, and safe sites. Solar-Battery Synergy: Based on Huawei's iSolar green site solution, solar systems and lithium batteries can be deployed at sites to ensure diverse energy supplies, reducing the risk of site breakdown due to external energy environment changes. Moreover, the Solar-Battery Synergy technology enables the 100% integration of surplus solar energy, increasing the energy yield by 55% compared with the traditional solution. Power-Grid Synergy: Huawei's iGrid grid adaptation technology helps base stations run stably even in the case of frequent power outages and weak grids. In Africa, the technology has helped operators improve the site power availability (PAV) from 60% to 99.9% in areas with frequent power outages. Power-RAN Synergy: Huawei's unique adaptive power backup technology doubles the power backup time for communication services without changing the battery configuration. In Europe, the solution has helped operators cope with large-scale power outages, with the power backup time drastically extended from 2.5 hours to more than 7 hours. Power-Service Synergy: Huawei's O&M management system integrates AI diagnosis to implement proactive analysis, risk prediction, precise fault locating, rapid root cause analysis, and precise energy scheduling. This improves network O&M efficiency and fault recovery speed, enhances network resilience, and reduces OPEX by 50%. According to James Chen, President of Huawei's Carrier Business, the levelized costs of electricity (LCOE) of solar systems and batteries keep declining, and their payback periods have become shorter, presenting tremendous opportunities for operators and tower companies to achieve the green energy transition. Huawei integrates digital and power electronics technologies, drives intelligent transformation through high-quality products, and continuously develops innovative energy infrastructure solutions for the digital industry. These efforts will accelerate the green energy transition and promote the sustainable development of operators and tower companies, paving the way for a better, greener future.

AUO Corp (AUOTY) Q1 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Strong Sales Growth Amid Tariff Challenges
Release Date: April 30, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. AUO Corp (AUOTY) reported a 5% quarter-over-quarter increase in net sales, reaching 72.1 billion. The company's gross margin improved to 12.2% due to revenue growth, product mix optimization, and cost improvements. AUO Corp (AUOTY) achieved a net profit of 3.3 billion, with an EPS of 0.43 NT dollars. The company has a healthy financial structure with a cash and cash equivalents balance of 67.4 billion. AUO Corp (AUOTY) is expanding its global manufacturing footprint, which includes sites in Mexico, India, Bulgaria, and Germany, allowing for dynamic capacity adjustments. The display segment is anticipated to experience a slight decline in revenue quarter-over-quarter due to a higher base period and tariff-related uncertainties. Tariff-related uncertainties are causing concerns about the impact on global consumption and economic growth. The mobility solution segment is expected to see a revenue decline by low single-digit percentage points quarter-over-quarter due to a higher base period. There are ongoing uncertainties regarding tariffs, which could affect AUO Corp (AUOTY)'s business outlook and require dynamic adjustments. The company is cautious about the potential impact of tariffs on US consumer behavior, which could ultimately affect global economic growth. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with AUOTY. Q: Considering the current economic conditions, could you please provide an update on the depreciation and CapEx for 2025? Also, any guidance on the future trends of depreciation and your CapEx? A: David Zhang, CFO: Currently, regarding our depreciation, we maintain our original forecast of 30 billion for 2025, and CapEx is anticipated to be no more than 30 billion for this year. Given the uncertainties revolving around tariffs, which cause some uncertainties on the macro conditions in the market, we will continue to observe the market conditions and dynamically adjust our CapEx as needed. Moreover, under a transformation strategy, we will continue to advance our developments in the mobility solution and vertical solution segments. As we lean toward asset-light from heavy capital investment, our CapEx and depreciation should go down sequentially. Q: Could you please provide color on the global TV and IT sell-through and overall channel inventory for the first quarter? Secondly, in the display sector, what are the impacts of tariffs on clients and the industry, and how are they addressing the impact? A: James Chen, Senior VP of Display Strategy Business Group: Q1 is the traditional low season for TV and IT. However, benefiting from the trading program in China and earlier pull-in ahead of tariffs, TV and IT segments enjoyed robust performance YOY. In terms of TV, Q1 TV demand grew by 2 to 3% YOY, mainly because in China, TV set sell-through lowered by only 2%, and area shipment expanded by 5% because of size migration. Regarding tariffs, TV customers shipping to the US primarily deliver from Mexico to meet the requirements of the USMCA, resulting in zero tariffs. For monitors and notebooks, most companies still manufacture in China, but 20% have shifted production to Southeast Asia and Mexico. Since these products are included in the exemption list, there are no tariff impacts at the moment. Q: After the delay of the reciprocal tariffs on April 2nd, are you seeing any net pull-ins continue for the second quarter? How might this impact your outlook into the second half? A: Unidentified Executive: We have seen some pull-ins continue from Q4 2024 into Q1 2025 to ease the impact from tariffs, resulting in better-than-expected revenue in Q1. Customers are adjusting their inventory levels due to tariff impacts, but the policy changes frequently. We are cautiously monitoring these changes and dynamically adjusting our materials preparation and production plans. The uncertain tariff impacts may alter seasonality this year, making it difficult to predict the second half. We are closely watching changes from the US government and will take necessary actions in collaboration with our customers. Q: Could you provide insights into the automotive market and the contributions from new designs like the micro LED smart cockpit? A: Frank Ke, CEO and President: For 2025 and 2026, we see the expansion of the smart market demand, with OEMs focusing on differentiation and consumers seeking more in-car entertainment. Screen sizes within vehicles are increasing, and display applications in cockpits are expanding. After acquiring BHTC, our automotive revenue exceeded $70 billion. We aim for double-digit revenue growth in our mobility solution, leveraging our micro LED technology and BHTC acquisition to capture market opportunities and provide flexibility in production for our customers. Q: Regarding micro LED developments, have there been any breakthroughs in terms of cost, and what are your revenue goals for the next five years? A: Unidentified Executive: We are implementing mass production capacities at the G 4.5A, achieving breakthroughs like the 42-inch single module production line, which reduces assembly costs and optimizes manufacturing costs. Micro LED has a material cost advantage, with cost reductions every two years. We are extending micro LED to new applications, including large-size TVs, wearables, and automotive applications. We expect micro LED revenue to increase YOY, especially with the launch of new products in the second half of 2026.
