Basic earnings per share for the second quarter were 2.59 US cents or 20.08 HK cents. Lenovo’s Board of Directors declared an interim dividend of 6.6 HK cents per share.
“Our record results this quarter reflect our ongoing commitment to meeting the needs of the rapidly growing work-, learn-and play-from-home economy. All of our core businesses delivered year-on-year growth, while our Software and Services revenue grew to a new record,” said Yuanqing Yang, Lenovo Chairman and CEO. “As the world continues to adjust to the ‘new normal’, we are confident in the long-term growth potential of both devices and cloud infrastructure. We will continue to leverage our core competences of operational excellence and global/local footprint, while accelerating our service-led transformation to better grasp opportunities and drive sustainable growth.”
Business Outlook
2020 continues to be a year with multiple industry factors impacting supply and manufacturing, including the ongoing geo-political uncertainties, the global COVID-19 pandemic, and industry-wide component supply shortages driven by strong demand. However, Lenovo sees a positive outlook for the second half of the year, with the new global norm of work, learn and play from home driving long-term growth trends in device demand and cloud/infrastructure requirements. In particular, the Group expects the total PC market to grow well beyond current analyst forecasts to closer to 300 million units in calendar year 2020, around 25 million more than the total available market last year.
Business Group Overview
Lenovo’s Intelligent Devices Group (IDG) continues to lead the Group’s growth with all-time record revenue for the PC and Smart Devices Group (PCSD) of US$11.5 billion, up 8% year-on-year. It reported record PTI of US$723 million, showing growth of 18% year-on-year, and maintained an industry-leading profit margin of 6.3%. Lenovo’s operational capability, timely response to the work and learn from home trend and focus on high-growth and premium segments drove the record quarterly performance. Lenovo leads the global PC market with #1 market share of 23.6%.
IDG’s second business unit, the Mobile Business Group (MBG) , had revenue growth of 39% quarter-to-quarter and returned to year-on-year growth, continuing the strong recovery from the impact of COVID-19. Growth in the company’s stronghold markets of Latin America and North America was further solidified, while growth in Europe and Asia Pacific was accelerated. The quarter also saw key innovation milestones with the launch of the razr 5G foldable smartphone and the company’s first dedicated gaming phone under the Lenovo Legion brand. The business will continue to leverage its strong product portfolio and 5G innovation to drive future profitable growth.
The Data Center Group (DCG) saw continued growth. Revenue grew 11% year-on-year to $1.48 billion, with improved profitability. The Cloud Service Provider segment continued to grow, with revenue increasing 34% year-on-year, with strong growth across all geographies. Underpinning this result is Lenovo’s sustained investment in in-house design and manufacturing, which delivered a major motherboard and system design win.

It saw double-digit growth across the business in Software Defined Infrastructure (22%), Storage (15%), Software (47%) and Services (11%).

Smart Internet of Things saw strong growth of over 36% year-on-year, while Smart Infrastructure (21%) and Smart Verticals (72%) both delivered strong double-digit revenue* growth. Software and Services grew 39% year-on-year to a new record of US$1.2 billion*, now representing more than 8.5% of Group revenue, even as total Group revenue increases.
