Samsung’s performance is expected to decline significantly compared to the same period last year. In the first quarter of 2018, Samsung Electronics’ revenue was 60.56 trillion won (about $53 billion) and its operating profit was 15.64 trillion won (about $13 billion). Its estimated first-quarter revenue went down 14% year-on-year (YoY), and operating profit was less than 40% in the same period last year, down 60% YoY.

Compared with the previous quarter, Samsung Electronics’ first-quarter performance guidance also showed a significant decline. Samsung’s revenue in the fourth quarter of last year was 59.27 trillion won, and operating profit was 10.8 trillion won (about $9 billion). Samsung Electronics expects revenue and operating profit in the first quarter to fall sharply year-on-year, which may be related to market demand. Samsung is facing a difficult time in the market and there is a genuine competition on all fronts (its multiple businesses) which is greatly affecting the company’s performance.
