It reported consolidated revenue of T$400.6 billion ($13.67 billion) in January, the company said in a filing to the Taiwan stock exchange.


Foxconn, formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd and a major Apple supplier, had a solid start to the year after three consecutive months of year-on-year revenue growth in the fourth quarter.


In December, the company reported a 50.2 percent year-on-year rise in revenues for December, it said.
