MANILA – Integrated Microelectronics Inc., a top 30 EMS firm, saw revenues rise 5% in 2008 on double-digit growth of its operations in China and Singapore. The firm, a subsidiary of Ayala Corp., reported operating income of $18 million. Currency hedging and a one-time charge for manpower expenses and inventory obsolescence led to a $16 million loss for the year.  Excluding these nonrecurring items, IMI’s net income would have been $32 million.
 
In 2008, IMI saw increased business with a leading Chinese telecommunications company and new customer programs. The company's operations in the Philippines and US were down on lower volumes, however.

EL SEGUNDO, CA – How will the TV market deal with the economic downturn and slowdown in sales growth in 2009?
 
iSuppli Corp. principal analyst Riddhi Patel on Wednesday takes on that question in a webinar, Will 2009 be the Year of Doom for TV Makers? The webinar takes place Feb. 25 at 11:30 AM EST.
 
Patel will shed light on how the television market will develop in 2009, what the key concerns are for the industry, and what strategies companies should employ to fuel demand.
 
The economic crisis is impacting the television market, both in terms of sales in developed regions and in exports from emerging nations.
 
Regions like Southeast Asia, China and parts of Latin America have seen a considerable impact on their television exports. Pair this with weakening consumer spending worldwide and it adds up to trouble for the entire television supply chain.
 
Other topics Patel will address: Which display technologies will survive the downturn? How will regional markets fare? Will price declines be sufficient to spur demand? Which strategies and brands will succeed?
