Samsung Profit Beats Estimates as Galaxy Fends Off IPhone 5

Samsung Electronics Co. (005930), the world’s largest maker of mobile phones and TVs, reported
higher-than- expected fourth-quarter earnings as sales of Galaxy smartphones withstood the debut
of Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s iPhone 5.

Operating profit rose 89 percent to 8.8 trillion won ($8.3 billion) in the three months ended December,
Samsung said in a preliminary earnings statement today. That compares with the 8.5 trillion won
average of 35 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The Suwon, South Korea-based company
didn’t give net income or divisional figures.

Earnings at Samsung’s mobile business probably doubled from a year earlier, according to a Bloomberg
News survey of five analysts, helped by demand for Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S III phones. That contrasted
with slower than expected sales of the iPhone 5, which entered the market in September, following glitches
with mapping software.
