CA公司公告令人失望的第四季度收入

AMTeam.org消息：软件公司CA的2006第四季度的初步财务报告显示其收入比预期大幅缩减。

该公司表示，截至于3月31号结束的第四季度预计其收入为9.4亿美元到9.5亿美元之间，也就是每股0～2美分，而之前预测本季度收入为9～10美分。

CA公司的总裁兼首席执行官John Swainson表示：“本季度的收入大大低于我们的预期；然而，我们公司正在进行改革，我有信心我们正在进行的改革明年将会为公司利润攀升。”

CA公司最近收购的Latency公司其收入的增长也远远低于预期，这也使得CA公司的收入比预期大减。

CA公司计划于5月30号公布本季度最终的财务报告。

周二下午CA公司的股价下降2.94%，每股股价为24.76美元。

CA Warns Of Disappointing 4Q Earnings

Preliminary financial results for CA's 2006 fiscal fourth quarter indicate substantially poorer-than-expected earnings, the software company said Tuesday.

For the quarter ended March 31, CA said it expects earnings of 0 cents to 2 cents per share on revenue of between $940 million and $950 million. The Islandia, N.Y.-based company previously had forecast earnings of 9 cents to 10 cents per share for the quarter.

"Our results for the quarter were not in line with our expectations. However, CA is a company undergoing a transformation," CA President and CEO John Swainson said. "I am confident that the changes we have made to transform CA will have a beneficial impact in the coming year."

Latency in transitioning revenue from companies CA recently acquired, slower-than-expected bookings and a rise in sales expenses such as commissions contributed to the disappointing earnings, according to CA.

CA plans to report final results for the quarter after the market close on May 30.

CA’s stock price was down 2.94 percent, trading at $24.76 a share, as of early afternoon on Tuesday.
