HTC did not reveal the number of Vive units it sold. It sold off some land in Taoyuan for NT$1bn, which helped to cut the operating loss.

CEO Cher Wang said,

In the space of one year, we have re-imagined the company, reclaimed our top spot for innovation, and demonstrated solid execution across our major product lines. I believe that HTC has regained its innovative zeal and is looking ahead with confidence and ingenuity.
