Micromuse rallies after topping target
Preliminary first-quarter earnings amid delayed filings

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Micromuse shares soared more than 15 percent late Tuesday after the business software maker announced preliminary first-quarter results that came in ahead of Wall Street estimates.
Micromuse said it expects to post a profit of 2 cents a share on $37 million in sales. Excluding certain charges, the company sees first-quarter earnings of 5 cents a share versus a loss of 3 cents a share in the same quarter a year earlier.
Analysts polled by Thomson First Call expected a profit of 3 cents a share on $34.6 million in sales.
"We saw growth across our product families, across the verticals, and in all major geographic regions," said CEO Lloyd Carney in a press release.
The company, however, delayed the filing of its final first-quarter results pending completion of its internal inquiry and the restatement of the last four years' financial results.
Last December, Micromuse postponed the filing of its 10-K form for 2003 in order to complete an inquiry into its accounting for certain expenses, saying it expected the inquiry to lead to a restatement of financial results for 2000 through 2003.
The company plans on finishing the restatement process, including the form 10-Q for the first quarter, by the end of March.
Looking ahead to the second quarter, the company expects earnings in the range of 4 cents to 5 cents a share, excluding charges, on revenue of between $38 million and $39 million.
Analysts currently predict earnings of 4 cents a share on sales of just over $35 million for the quarter.
Shares of Micromuse (MUSEE: news, chart, profile) closed down 4 cents at $8.07 before moving past $9 in extended action.
