hab Dein Posting gerade erst gesehen; ich muss erst mal nachsehen ... In meiner Erinnerung bin ich meiner ersten Position um 2000 herum ziemlich auf die Nase gefallen. Mein Wiedereinstieg lag bei??? Ich schau gleich mal nach; ich liege aber ~ 100% im Plus. Echt peinlich...
Heute gab es aber Quartalszahlen von Versant die echt spitze aussehen!
Anbei auch eine Übersicht zu dem Nachbörslichen Handel; > 10% Plus sollten morgen drin sein!
Versant Announces Record Quarterly Net Income of $1.9 Million
Quarterly revenues grow 37% over last year
FREMONT, Calif., May 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Versant Corporation (Nasdaq: VSNT), an industry leader in specialized data management, today announced its financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2007.
For the quarter, Versant reported revenues of $5.2 million from its continuing operations, compared to $3.8 million for the comparable period last year, representing an increase of approximately 37%. License revenues increased 88% from $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2006 to $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2007.
Net income for the quarter was $1.9 million and diluted net income per share was $0.52, compared to net income of $1.2 million and diluted net income per share of $0.32 for the comparable period last year.
Versant also reported an increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.3 million during the quarter, resulting in a cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $14.0 million as of April 30, 2007.
"This quarter was extremely strong, especially in light of the fact that Versant's second fiscal quarter is typically a relatively weaker quarter. The significant increase in license revenues was largely a result of a license transaction with a defense contractor for approximately $0.8 million, which we had originally expected to close later in this fiscal year. The increase in license revenues contributed significantly to an excellent overall gross profit margin of 89%, which helped drive net income to new record quarterly levels", said Jochen Witte, Versant's CEO.
Based on the first two quarters' performance in fiscal 2007, Versant is raising its guidance for fiscal 2007. The Company expects total revenue growth for full year fiscal 2007 over fiscal 2006 of approximately 10%, driven primarily by estimated license revenue growth of approximately 25% in fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006. For fiscal 2007, the Company estimates net income from continuing operations before taxes to be in the range of approximately $5.8 million to $6.2 million and net income to be in the range of $5.6 million to $6.0 million, resulting in estimated diluted net income per share between approximately $1.50 and $1.62 for fiscal 2007.
