CHAIRMAN AND CEO STATEMENT
WE WILL ACCELERATE
OUR TRANSFORMATION
AND BECOME NOT JUST
A PC MARKET SHARE
LEADER, BUT A GLOBAL
PC+ INNOVATION LEADER
“
”
The past fiscal year saw the global PC industry enter an
unprecedented phase of transformation, with rapid growth
in new sectors like mobile and cloud computing and
intense competition in traditional segments of our industry
like consumer and commercial PCs. Yet despite the rapid
changes and challenging conditions we face, Lenovo
delivered a year of historic milestones and outstanding
performance. Even more, we are in an incredibly strong
position not to simply navigate through a period of
transformation, but rather to lead our industry into its next
era – the PC+ era.
A YEAR OF MILESTONES
As a result, during this past fiscal year, we achieved numerous
milestones in our PC business. Our impressive achievements
include:
• Lenovo’s worldwide market share reached an all-time
high for the fourth straight year. We were the fastest
growing major PC company every quarter this year
thanks to a strong, balanced performance that includes
gaining share in every geography and segment, and
setting records around the world.
– In China, we again set a market share record as we
further solidified our leading position in the world’s
largest PC market.
– We strengthened our position as the leader in global
emerging markets, reaching number one in PCs in
major markets like India and Russia during the year
while making great strides forward in high-growth
regions like Brazil, Latin America and ASEAN.
– We became or maintained our position as the number
1 PC company in key mature markets like Japan
and Germany, while setting a PC share record in the
United States. This success was fueled not only by
our historically strong commercial business, but also
by significant expansion in our consumer business,
driven by innovative product launches, brand building
and improvements in our retail position.
• We set all-time records for unit shipments and sales,
with sales surpassing $33 billion.
