UPDATE: Autonomy's Earnings Miss Views Sending Shares Lower

Today : Thursday 22 July 2010
U.K. software group Autonomy Corp. PLC (AU.LN) slightly missed expectations for second-quarter earnings Thursday and posted disappointing margins, sending its shares sharply lower on the London Stock Exchange.

But Chief Executive Mike Lynch was nonetheless upbeat, noting the first half of 2010 "continued to show a gentle recovery with discretionary spend continuing."

"Overall, we face the rest of the year with a strong balance sheet and, in light of the continuing macro recovery, we are confident in our ability to continue to deliver strong growth for the full year," he said.

Lynch also said the company is on track to announce a deal by the Autumn, but declined to elaborate.

Autonomy's fully diluted earnings per share excluding exceptional items--the key figure tracked by U.K. analysts--rose 7% to 28 cents in the second quarter ended June 30 from a year earlier, compared with expectations of 29 cents. The miss was due to a higher interest charge from convertible loan notes issued in March and more shares in issue, which was slightly mitigated by a lower tax charge.

Second-quarter net profit rose 2.9% to $52.4 million from $50.9 million a year ago on a 13% rise in revenue to $221.1 million, broadly in line with expectations.

Operating margins fell to 43.6% in the second quarter from a year ago, hit by higher marketing spend and hardware costs. That compares with a 44.4% margin in the first quarter of 2010 and 47.2% in the second quarter of 2009.

As a result of a mix of lower gross margin, higher interest charges and lower tax, Panmure Gordon analyst George O'Connor will trim his 2010 EPS and revenue forecasts and cut his target price on the stock, although he maintains a hold rating.

I like the "slightly missed expectations" - you either hit or miss surely!

No chrissie c*** it is London today. take it you did not follow my predictions on Autonomy hence bad mood.

Congratulated you on that trade Grubby, it was a good call. Pity your greed got the better of you though, 1400 down on your short at the mo. But hey it's only money :O)

Skinny surely there is a measurement in any expectationI expect to run a marathon in 3 hoursif I ran it in 3 hours 31 minutes I would have slightly missed my expected time?how else could you measure your performance?educate me!

You mean on my long

Tosspot - too much to do today, but tomorrow is OK not least because a good section of the town inc our office will have no power from 08:00 to 15:00 as major power cable being replaced in sub-station - thus computers and servers will be out during that time and also, i guess, no telephones

No problem cynic could have treated you to a bacon butty

You remember! ok 2,700 then.

tomorrow? .... wentworth?

You are very mixed up today Chrissie, are you in your tranny mode

Short Autonomy before stress test results. IMHO when results are in after EU markets close will send USA down and will hurt FTSE on Monday.
