Net profit dropped to 11bn Taiwan dollars ($364m; £235m) in the three months to December, from 14.8bn dollars in the same period a year earlier.

Sales for December fell 20.3% from a year ago to 26.3bn Taiwan dollars.

In October the firm said it expected lower revenues in the fourth quarter due to "uncertainties from new models".

But its latest update also revealed that net profit for the whole of 2011 rose 57% to 62bn Taiwan dollars; Kazinform cites BBC.
