In a statement Friday, HTC reported NT$550 million in consolidated sales for November, down 16 percent from a month earlier and the second consecutive monthly decline.

The monthly drop, however, was not as steep as in October, when the company's sales fell 48 percent to NT$660 million, HTC data showed.
