Acer chairman George Huang has said the company's new business development is heading to the right direction and has achieved breakthroughs in areas including virtual reality (VR), medical care and robot. However, the company's transformation will still need some more time to be completed.

Although the PC market is in decline, Acer continues achieving strong results in 2-in-1 device and Chromebook markets and will continue to invest efforts in them.

Huang noted that Acer's operation was seriously affected by exchange rate fluctuations in 2015, during which the PC market was not doing well. However, thanks to the company's strategy changes, Acer managed to stay profitable in t2015.

Acer has been transforming its business and is turning to focus on new market segments such as those of mobile, cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT).

Acer CEO Jason Chen also noted that most of Acer's revenues are from the PC business. Since the PC market is in decline, Acer is focusing more on areas that offer better profit growth opportunities.

Acer is also the largest monitor vendor in the US, the second largest in Europe and the third largest in Asia Pacific. As for the high-end monitor segment, Acer has a 40% market share in Western Europe, over 30% in the US. The company's all-in-one PCs also enjoy strong sales via US-based Amazon's channel.

Acer will distribute dividends of NT$0.50 (US$0.02) in cash for 2015.
