All over the year, over a year ago we decided our television business needed a new business model and by teaming up with TPV of Taiwan, we've moved the television business to a joint venture which gives the TV business a new initial life, that allows Phillips to focus on what we are really good at, and that is as a technology company to innovate, to make the world healthier and more sustainable, we do that as for areas, health care, energy efficient, lighting and consumer health wellbeing, we think that this is really important for the world, there will be a lot of demand for these programs, and at the same time, we are improving our operation excellence through our accelerated program, and in the third quarter result, that's what you see coming through, an increasing top line and an improving bottom line, thanks to Phillips' accelerating.
一年前,我們認(rèn)為公司的電視業(yè)務(wù)需要一種新的業(yè)務(wù)模式,一年來(lái),我們與臺(tái)灣TPV公司合作。現(xiàn)在我們將電視生產(chǎn)業(yè)務(wù)發(fā)展成為一個(gè)聯(lián)合投資公司,給予其新的生命力;同時(shí),公司集中力量于真正擅長(zhǎng)的領(lǐng)域即作為一家能夠不斷進(jìn)行創(chuàng)新的技術(shù)公司,為全世界更健康、持續(xù)發(fā)展貢獻(xiàn)自己的力量。我們的領(lǐng)域包括醫(yī)療、高效能源、照明及顧客的健康和福利事業(yè)。我們認(rèn)為這些領(lǐng)域?qū)θ澜鐏?lái)說(shuō)都是至關(guān)重要的,對(duì)這些項(xiàng)目也將會(huì)有大量需求。與此同時(shí),通過(guò)加速開(kāi)發(fā)這些項(xiàng)目,我們持續(xù)提高公司卓越的運(yùn)營(yíng)能力。由于飛利浦公司的加速發(fā)展,可以看到第三財(cái)季業(yè)績(jī)的頂線有所增長(zhǎng),賬本底線有所改善。
Well, while asked about the future, the Phillips chief was a bit more cautious.
當(dāng)我們問(wèn)到公司未來(lái)的前景時(shí),飛利浦的首席執(zhí)行官還保有一些謹(jǐn)慎。
We talked about economic headwinds of Phillips, and we see 3 parts of the world slowing down, China with a lower GDP, Europe of course in a recessional period, and the United States where especially in the second half of this year, we see more uncertainty creeping, undoubtedly related to related to the elections and the threat of the fiscal cliff and the uncertainty around the responsible care act (Obama Care), we see some orders being pushed out in the United States even though the third quarter will still very good in growth. The feasibility looking ahead is much lower.
我們談?wù)摿孙w利浦發(fā)展的不利因素,全世界有三大市場(chǎng)的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展都在放慢速度,中國(guó)的GDP也較往年更低,歐洲正處于經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退期,而美國(guó)特別是在下半年,潛伏著更多不確定因素,確切地說(shuō),是和選舉有關(guān)的因素、財(cái)政懸崖的威脅以及責(zé)任醫(yī)保法案的不確定因素(奧巴馬法案)。盡管第三季度保持良好的增長(zhǎng)勢(shì)頭,來(lái)自美國(guó)的定單卻在減少。展望未來(lái),不容太過(guò)樂(lè)觀。
