250,000 Motorola Xoom Shipped in Q1; But How Many Reached Consumers?

Tweet

Just a few days ago we were talking about the sales performance of the Motorola Xoom as seen by analysts and it wasn’t a very positive one. In fact, a few days before Motorola came clean with its Q1 earnings report, analysts said that Moto only sold somewhere between 25,000 and 120,000 Xoom units, which is not that exciting for the device deemed to be the number one iPad 2 alternative.

Motorola’s actual numbers are, at least at first sight, a lot more comforting, as Motorola says it has shipped 250,000 Xoom units in Q1. But what Motorola fails to reveal is how many of these shipped tablets have actually been purchased by customers. After all, if most of them are still waiting to be picked up in stores, well, then things aren’t looking good for the first Honeycomb tablet in the world.

Besides the Xoom, Motorola shipped another 9 million mobile devices in Q1, with almost half of them being smartphones, which is quite interesting considering the company was on the brink of extinction in 2009, before Sanjay Jha and his trust in Android saved it. Below you’ll find a quick summary of Motorola’s Q1, as provided by the company:

• Net revenues of $3.0 billion, up 22 percent from first quarter 2010
• GAAP net loss of .27 per share compared to .72 loss in first quarter 2010
• Non-GAAP loss of .08 per share compared to .48 loss in first quarter 2010
• Mobile Devices revenues of $2.1 billion, up 30 percent from first quarter 2010; GAAP operating loss of $89 million; non-GAAP operating loss of $61 million
• Shipped 9.3 million mobile devices, including 4.1 million smartphones and more than 250,000 tablets
• Home revenues of $904 million, up 8 percent from first quarter 2010; GAAP operating earnings of $53 million; non-GAAP operating earnings of $81 million
• Positive operating cash flow of $107 million
