Acer has reported consolidated revenues of NT$21 billion (US$646 million) for August 2015, growing 24.39% on month but dropping 29.66% on year, and NT$166.03 billion for January-August, slipping 22.07% on year.

Compared to ODMs, which only had single-digit percentage on-month revenue growths in August, brand vendors such as Acer and Asustek, performed much stronger in the month.

Although brand vendors have not been aggressive about pulling in shipments from ODMs, ODMs still expect their shipments in September to grow as demand for notebooks gradually picks up.
