Their operating profit is indeed higher than their net income (real profit), but the 663 million is the real profit (net income).

Very nice :) Is this the first quarter where they have turned net income? I vaguely remember a negative forecast a few months back?

The same quarter last year (called Q1 of FY 2014, but it's calendar quarter 2) they also made a net income, but much less than this. They also made a net income in the holiday quarter last year. However they lost a lot of money in the year as a whole because they wrote down the value of their mobile division.

They will most likely make a profit for the full year this year though.
