Die Ergebnisse des amerikanischen Technologieunternehmens Agilent Technologies fielen für das vergangene Quartal zwar besser als erwartet aus, jedoch musste das Unternehmen Einmalaufwendungen in Höhe von 1,5 Mrd. Dollar verkraften, was zu einem Netto-Verlust von 1,56 Mrd. Dollar führte. Exklusive dieser Einmaleffekte wäre das Minus mit 2 Cents je Aktie deutlich unter den erwarteten 7 Cents je Aktie geblieben. Der Umsatz lag bei 1,5 Mrd. Dollar und damit innerhalb der Erwartungen der Analysten.

Im Vorjahreszeitraum erzielte das Unternehmen einen Umsatz in Höhe von 1,4 Mrd. Dollar bei einem Verlust von 31 Cents je Aktie.

Ned Barnholt, CEO des Unternehmens, zeigte sich zufrieden mit den Ergebnissen. "Wir haben bei Umsatz und Auftragseingang die Erwartungen erfüllt und sind zuversichtlich, durch weitere Restrukturierungen den Break Even Umsatz auf 1,45 Mrd. Dollar senken zu können. Zudem gehen wir davon aus, im vierten Quartal wieder schwarze Zahlen zu schreiben," so Barnholt.

Im vergangenen Quartal hatte Agilent stark an der Kostenschraube gedreht. So wurden z.B. 2.400 Stellen gestrichen.

Ende des Quartals verfügte das Unternehmen über 1,4 Mrd. Dollar an liquiden Mitteln.

Barnholt erwartet für das vierte Quartal einen Umsatz in Höhe von 1,5-1,6 Mrd. Dollar und einen Gewinn je Aktie vor Restrukturierungskosten von 0-10 Cents. Analysten hatten bisher durchschnittlich mit 3 Cents je Aktie gerechnet.

Die Aktie beendete den Handel heute bei 22,46 Dollar mit einem Plus von 3,12 Prozent.

Agilent shares gain on third-quarter results - UPDATE 3 19.08.2003 00:26    Headlines


   SAN FRANCISCO (AFX) -- Shares of Agilent Technologies gained in late trading
Monday after the maker of electronics and equipment testing posted a
narrower-than-expected third-quarter loss and a rise in sales.
Agilent  reported a net loss of $1.56 billion for the quarter, or more than six
times the $228 million it lost during the same period a year earlier. It
attributed much of the loss to a non-cash charge of $1.4 billion for accounting
of income taxes.
Without the income tax charge, as well as charges for restructuring and
amortization, Agilent's loss came in at 2 cents a share, better than the
consensus estimate of 7 cents a share among Wall Street analysts. Revenue for
the period ended July 31 totaled $1.5 billion, up from $1.39 billion during last
year's third quarter.
Shares of Agilent, which were halted at the closing bell pending the release of
the third-quarter numbers, added 2.4 percent when trading resumed, changing
hands for $23.
Moving lower were shares of Symantec , which said it has purchased a
code-scanning patent from privately held Hilgraeve, Inc. for $62.5 million,
which includes the cost of licensing additional patents.
Symantec shares slipped 14 cents to $49 in late dealings.
Also losing ground were shares of Alkermes , which said it plans to offer up to
$100 million of convertible notes in a private placement.
Alkermes stock recently fell 89 cents, or 7 percent, to $11.75.
Elsewhere, shares of semiconductor stocks, which took the Nasdaq to its highest
close in a month, continued to climb.
Applied Micro Devices , which rose 14 percent to close at $8.91 following upbeat
coverage in Barron's, added another 10 cents to $9.01 after the bell.
Two of the sectors' biggest movers topped the most-actives list of evening
traders on Island ECN as well. Shares of Intel , which gained nearly 5 percent
to hit a fresh 52-week high of $26.23 during the regular session, rose 1 percent
in late dealings to $26.43.
Atmel stock  tacked on an additional 4 cents to $3.87 in evening action. The
stock closed up more than 24 percent during the regular session.
Positive comments from research firm Gartner Group on the sector's prospects
helped tech shares gain ground as well.
Two of the regular session's top movers from the energy sector, Ivanhoe Energy
and Beacon Power , remained active. Shares of both companies rocketed higher
during regular trading as investors bet the energy providers would benefit from
last week's blackout; sending Ivanhoe shares to close with a 68-percent gain and
Beacon stock soaring to close up 142 percent.
In the evening session, Ivanhoe share added 5 cents, or 3 percent, to $1.75,
while Beacon shares traded unchanged from their 4 p.m. close, at 92 cents.
The Nasdaq-100 After Hours indicator, which tracks late trading in technology
shares, was up 1.86 points.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average  added 90.76 points, or 1 percent, to finish
Monday's regular session at 9,412.45, and the Nasdaq Composite  tacked on 37.48
points, or 2.2 percent, to close at 1,739.49.
