Sun meets estimates
Enterprise hardware maker's 4Q results are in line with expectations
July 19, 2001: 4:24 p.m. ET
NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Sun Microsystems on Thursday logged a fiscal fourth-quarter financial result that was on the high end of the company's lowered expectations.
After the close of trading, Sun said it earned $134 million, or 4 cents per share, during the quarter ended June 30. That's a sharp decline from a profit of 20 cents per share during the same quarter a year ago, but is on the high end of the expectations executives set in May, when they reduced estimates.
At $4 billion, Sun's fiscal fourth-quarter revenue fell 20 percent from the same quarter last year.
In late May, Sun (SUNW: Research, Estimates) executives lowered their financial targets, saying they were aiming for a profit ranging between 2 cents and 4 cents per share on sales ranging between $3.8 billion and $4 billion.
The company had begun the quarter anticipating fourth-quarter earnings"flat to slightly down" from the 8 cents per share it reported in the third quarter on sales slightly above the third quarter's $4.1 billion.
For the full fiscal year, Sun reported a profit of 42 cents per share compared with 55 cents per share in the prior year. Fiscal year revenue totaled $18.3 billion, up from $15.7 billion in the prior year.
