China's ZTE says Iran restrictions to have little impact on sales Mar 29th 2012, 03:52 HONG KONG, March 29 | Wed Mar 28, 2012 11:52pm EDT HONG KONG, March 29 (Reuters) - ZTE Corp , China's second-largest telecommunications equipment maker, said on Thursday that limitations on its business operations in Iran will have little impact on overall sales. President Shi Lirong, speaking at a news conference after the company announced its financial results for 2011, said ZTE was not a mainstream telecoms gear supplier in Iran. ZTE said on Wednesday that October-December net profit slid to 991 million yuan ($157 million), down 48 percent from 1.89 billion yuan a year earlier. Shares in ZTE had risen nearly 5 percent by 0346 GMT, outpacing a 1 percent drop in the broader Hang Seng Index , amid market expectations for an improved outlook. Reuters reported last week that ZTE had entered into a $131 million contract with Telecommunication Co of Iran in December 2010, which sources said included a surveillance system capable of monitoring telephone and Internet communications. ZTE has said it is no longer seeking to expand in Iran.
