Financial results from Opera

May 11, 2011 · by Espen André Øverdahl

Opera. Serious Business.

Today we attended the quarterly presentation with financial highlights about Opera. It was interesting, with many positive highlights:

  • The coffee served in the conference room was okay. Not too bitter, not too strong, but not fantastic either.
  • A fruit basket welcomed all financial investors. I ate a pear (which was tasty).
  • Opera has more than 185 million users. That's 35 million new users since we broke into Jon's e-mail.
  • Opera Mobile has more than 20 million smartphone users - with Android and S60 leading the charge.
  • Opera Desktop had 55 million users in April this year.
  • The "remaining" 110 million Opera users are found on Opera Mini, making it world's most used mobile Web browser.
  • Sony released their Opera Powered Bravia TVs and a fresh deal with Humax will only continue to push Opera to many TVs and set-top boxes.

So. We're still very much in the game and we will continue to improve, innovate and deliver Opera to all of you.

    With Opera doing so well maybe they can put more money into better coffee for the future.

    We don't want to lose the MOTW again. :wink:

    Surely it was Cuban coffee. I heard all Cuban coffee is mixed with roasted peas :yuck: because it's becoming more and more expensive globaly :yikes:

    Opera's long-term shift seems to be paying off. Device revenue has equaled/exceeded the old numbers that included NRE, while desktop revenue has actually climbed quite a lot. Great rise in gross revenue over Q1 2010.

    Opera is a whole new way to do business. This opens up some incredible opportunities for musicians to correspond via high-speed internet on ideas and projects that could become assets for evrybody! Wow!!!!:cool:
