Improved Margins and Bookings Growth Signal Strength in Customer
Demand
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) January 24, 2008 --
Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAVA) reported results today for its
fiscal second quarter, which ended December 30, 2007.
Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 were $3.615 billion, an
increase of approximately 1.4 percent as compared with $3.566 billion
for the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Total gross margin as a percent
of revenues was 48.5, an increase of 3.5 percentage points, as compared
with the second quarter of fiscal 2007.
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 on a GAAP basis was
$260 million, or $0.31 per share(1), as compared
with a net income of $133 million, or $0.15 per share, for the second
quarter of fiscal 2007. GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal
2008 included a $32 million restructuring charge.
Cash generated from operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was
$336 million, and the cash and marketable debt securities balance at the
end of the quarter was $4.677 billion.
"Today's results clearly demonstrate steady progress against our
financial targets and highlight the accelerating demand set to fuel
growth in the back half of the fiscal year," said Jonathan Schwartz, CEO
of Sun Microsystems. “Headlining the results
were improved margins and strong bookings along with double digit growth
in emerging markets including India, China, Latin America, Eastern
Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Adding to the momentum were the
SolarisTM Operating System OEM agreement with
Dell and our introduction of the industry's first open source datacenter
virtualization and management platform, Sun xVM."
