All Companies Financial & Investment Decisions

Details:
1. Apple Financial Decision:
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA OCTOBER 28, 2021 Apple today announced financial results for
its fiscal 2021 fourth quarter ended September 25, 2021. The Company posted a September quarter
revenue record of $83.4 billion, up 29 percent year over year, and quarterly earnings per diluted share
of $1.24.

“This year we launched our most powerful products ever, from M1-powered Macs to an iPhone 13
lineup that is setting a new standard for performance and empowering our customers to create and
connect in new ways,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “We are infusing our values into everything we
make — moving closer to our 2030 goal of being carbon neutral up and down our supply chain and
across the lifecycle of our products, and ever advancing our mission to build a more equitable future.”

Apple Investment Decision:

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA Apple today announced an acceleration of its US investments, with
plans to make new contributions of more than $430 billion and add 20,000 new jobs across the country
over the next five years. Over the past three years, Apple’s contributions in the US have significantly
outpaced the company’s original five-year goal of $350 billion set in 2018. Apple is now raising its
level of commitment by 20 percent over the next five years, supporting American innovation and
driving economic benefits in every state. This includes tens of billions of dollars for next-generation
silicon development and 5G innovation across nine US states.
Apple’s $430 billion in contributions to the US economy include direct spend with American suppliers,
data center investments, capital expenditures in the US, and other domestic spend — including dozens
of Apple TV+ productions across 20 states, creating thousands of jobs and supporting the creative
industry.
Establishing a New North Carolina Campus:
As part of its investments and expansion, Apple plans to invest over $1 billion in North Carolina and
will begin construction on a new campus and engineering hub in the Research Triangle area. The
investment will create at least 3,000 new jobs in machine learning, artificial intelligence, software
engineering, and other cutting-edge fields.

2. Samsung Financial Decision:

Nearly two years have passed since the global pandemic spurred the evolution of the way organizations in
the finance sector interact with customers and employees. Now, these companies must prepare for what
7

comes next. Critical to charting the path forward is understanding and navigating the perfect storm of
challenges and opportunities that were created by the pandemic. These include a dramatic surge in
employee resignations, with 3%[1] of the workforce quitting in both August and September 2021; a
startling 1,318%[2] rise in ransomware attacks on the banking industry; and an increasingly digital-first
work environment, indicated by the $656 billion[3]  forecasted to be spent in 2021 on future of work
technology.

Samsung’s report surveyed 500 U.S.-based IT decision-makers and 500 U.S.-based employees from
financial services and banking organizations to better understand their digital demands and further
define their industry’s future. Key findings from Samsung’s 2021 Future of Mobility: Finance and
Banking Report include:

Samsung Investment Decision:

Samsung Group, South Korea’s tech giant, announced on Tuesday that it will invest $205 billion
(240 trillion won) in their semiconductor, biopharmaceuticals and telecommunications units over
the next three years to enhance its global presence and lead in new industries such as next-
generation telecommunication and robotics. The investment will be led by Samsung affiliates
including Samsung Electronics and Samsung Biologics. It also unveiled a mergers and
acquisitions plan to fortify its technology and market leadership.

Setting aside $154.3 billion (180 trillion won) for home ground, Samsung expects to create
40,000 new jobs by 2023 through the investment.

This announcement comes days after Samsung Electronics vice chairman Jay Y. Lee was
released on parole on 13 August right before South Korea’s Liberation Day. People speculated
Samsung would be able to move forward with major investments once he was freed from

Samsung’s latest investment will be used for semiconductors, biopharmaceuticals and the next-
generation telco units, according to the company’s statement.

3. Oppo Financial Decision:

With global smartphone sales largely flat after a decade of almost exponential growth, 2021 was
a watershed year for OPPO. With global smartphone sales largely flat after a decade of almost
exponential growth, 2021 was a watershed year for OPPO. The brand’s global sales soared by 22
per cent, outstripping the industry average of 7 per cent, and those sales were driven not by its
lower-cost handsets but also by high-end models. Those consumers now come from more than
50 countries worldwide, which suggests that the strategy is on the mark. The Find N received
immediate positive feedback from users and industry insiders alike.

Oppo Investment Decision:

8

Chinese smartphone maker Oppo Friday said it will invest $60 million (over Rs470 crore)
in India over the next five years under its ‘Vihaan’ project to strengthen the manufacturing
ecosystem by empowering small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as micro, small and
medium enterprises (MSMEs) In a statement Friday, it added that the move will help the
company in expanding its export capacity to $5 billion over the next five years.

4. Nokia Financial Decision:

2021 was a strong year for Nokia driven by our growing technology leadership, robust demand
and a faster than expected reset of our business. This enabled us to deliver 3% constant currency
net sales growth and a comparable operating margin of 12.5%. Thanks to a solid Q4 capping off
a strong 2021, we have created an excellent foundation as we begin to move into the next phase
of our strategy to deliver growth and expand profitability.

Nokia Investment Decision:

Nokia’s business groups today announce plans to reset their cost bases and invest in R&D and
future capabilities including 5G, cloud and digital infrastructure, as well as other areas that will
benefit Nokia in the long-term.In October last year the company announced a new operating
model designed to better position the company for changing markets and align with customer
needs. The new model is optimized for better accountability and transparency, increased
simplicity and improved cost-efficiency.

5. Huawei Financial Decision:

Huawei will advance its journey of digitalization, intelligent transformation, and low carbon. We
will continuously increase investment in talent, scientific research, and innovation, in an effort to
reshape our foundational technologies. Building on this, we will bring together ICT technologies
and our global experience to drive digital transformation across different industries, and create
greater value for both our customers and society at large.

In 2021, Huawei maintained a solid financial position and our operating results were in line with
forecast.

Huawei Investment Decision:

Despite intense pressure, Huawei still invests heavily in R&D and innovation. Its R&D expenses in
2021, in absolute amount terms and as percentage of revenue, both hit a 10-year high. Over the past
decade, Huawei’s total R&D investment surpassed CNY845 billion. In 2021, 107,000 employees,
representing 54.8% of Huawei’s total workforce, worked in R&D. By the end of 2021, Huawei held a
total of 110,000+ active patents, across 45,000+ patent families.

Conclusion:
As technology continues to improve, high-powered mobile devices (like smartphones) are
increasingly common. There are an estimated 421.7 million mobile subscriptions in the US.
Presenting 1.3 mobile subscriptions per person in the U.S. while these devices can be used for a
wide variety of activities, our research focuses on their use in the investing context – using a
mobile device to access and read financial information and make investment decisions.
Technologies don’t only offer maximum user satisfaction but also help businesses to function
smoothly. Using these technologies, businesses can analyze and monitor their product demand
and sales.

Creating new dimensions for business, improving quality of education, raising health-related
online free tips and services, and developing integration of disabled persons in the
mainstreaming society are done by the help of smart devices. Without these positive sides,
the analysis of the study indicates some negative impacts on smartphones and their solutions
Analyzing the children and adolescents are more addicted to browsing social media websites.
iPhone are not the only ones that cost much more now than they did a few years ago. The
flagship phones from the world’s top three smartphone companies — Apple, Samsung and
Huawei — saw an average price increase of 52% in three years. That’s made people less eager
to buy new devices. In my opinion, We may not be able to live without our phones
but we can take steps now to reduce the negative effects of this addiction. One way is by
reducing the time spent on your phone and trying to communicate face-to-face instead of relying
on your phone for every small task, so you can focus on what really matters in life.
