\u201cIn 2022, a challenging external environment and non-market factors continued to take a toll on Huawei\u2019s operations\u201d, said Eric Xu, Huawei\u2019s Rotating Chairman, at the company\u2019s annual report press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn the midst of this storm, we kept racing ahead, doing everything in our power to maintain business continuity and serve our customers. We also went to great lengths to grow the harvest \u2013 generatiing a steady stream of revenue to sustain our survival and lay the groundwork for future development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also present at the event was Sabrina Meng, Huawei\u2019s CFO. She noted, \u201cDespite substantial pressure in 2022, our overall business results were in line with forecast. At the end of 2022, our liability ratio was 58.9% and our net cash balance was CNY176.3 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, our balance of total assets reached one trillion yuan, largely composed of current assets such as cash, short-term investments, and operating assets. Our financial position remains solid, with strong resilience and flexibility. In 2022, our total R&D spend was CNY161.5 billion, representing 25.1% of our total revenue \u2013 among the highest in Huawei\u2019s history. In times of pressure, we press on \u2013 with confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huawei is a strong proponent of growing together with its ecosystem partners, and believes that openness and collaboration lead to shared success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company has continued to open up its platform capabilities across its HarmonyOS, Kunpeng, Ascend, and cloud portfolio, focusing on improving developer experience as well as enabling and supporting its ecosystem partners on all fronts. Huawei currently works with more than nine million developers and over 40,000 ecosystem partners to fuel ecosystem-based innovation and create greater value for its customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c2023 will be crucial to Huawei\u2019s sustainable survival and development,\u201d Xu noted. \u201cPlum blossoms tend to grow sweeter from a harsh winter\u2019s freeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, Huawei is like a plum blossom. While it\u2019s true that we have considerable pressure ahead of us, we have what it takes to come out the other end \u2013 with opportunities to grow, a resilient business portfolio, a unique competitive edge, the enduring trust of our customers and partners, and the courage to invest heavily in R&D. We are confident in our ability to rise above any challenge that comes our way, laying a solid foundation for sustainable survival and development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
