元器件交易网讯  7月16日消息，据外媒报道，消息称三星集团第二季度将全面“审查评估”电子行业表现不佳的子公司。

　　三星公司战略办公室审计部门最近开始审查三星电机，它是一家生产智能手机摄像头模块的公司。

　　相机模块业务在2013年以后已经开始走下坡路了。

　　市场观察者预测，其它子公司包括三星Display和三星SDI，利润都在下滑，可能都会遭受审查。

　　三星官方否认了将进行全面重组的推测。

　　据从三星电子(Samsung Electronics)本月早些时候提交给监管机构的备案文件显示，三星营业利润7.2万亿韩元，已经达到两年来的最低水平。

　　三星指出，来自中国低端智能手机的竞争是其销售低于预期的主要因素。

　　Samsung Group is said to be carrying out a sweeping “management assessment” on underperforming affiliates in the electronics sector in the wake of the second-quarter earnings shock of its cash cow Samsung Electronics.

　　The audit division under Samsung’s Corporate Strategy Office, the conglomerate’s control tower, has recently began a review on Samsung Electro-Mechanics, a manufacturer of smartphone camera modules, according to Samsung Group.

　　The latest move is just another in a series of management reviews conducted on the conglomerate’s affiliates including Samsung Heavy Industries and Samsung Engineering. 

　　“The poor business performance of affiliates, including those that supply smartphone parts to Samsung Electronics, seems to be a major reason for the conglomerate to proceed with the reviews,” a market analyst said. 

　　The camera module business has gone downhill since the second quarter of 2013 when it reaped 222 billion won ($216 million) in operating profit.

　　The profit also dropped during the final three months of last year, with the company posting an operating loss of 36 billion won in the fourth quarter that same year. The firm’s January-March operating profit in 2014 stood at 15 billion won.

　　Market observers forecast that other affiliates including Samsung Display and Samsung SDI, which showed deteriorating operating profits, may also be subject to a management review. 

　　Samsung Display posted an operating loss of 80 billion won in the first quarter of this year, while Samsung SDI recorded operating losses in the last quarter of 2013 and the first three months this year, of 56 billion won and 39 billion won respectively. 

　　Some market watchers said Samsung could come up with restructuring measures, including layoffs, for the underachieving affiliates in a bid to improve efficiency. 

　　Samsung officials, however, denied the speculation about carrying out full-fledged restructuring.

　　According to a regulatory filing from Samsung Electronics earlier this month, the world’s largest smartphone maker by sales recorded 7.2 trillion won in operating profit, its lowest in two years. 

　　The tech giant pointed to the neck-and-neck competition in the low-end smartphone market in China as one of the major factors for the lower-than-expected result.
