ON The Move: OPWV plunges after-hours on warning - (ON24)



REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (Reuters) - Communications software provider Openwave Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:OPWV - news) on Monday reported a narrower net loss for its fiscal first quarter, as revenues rose but said it was restructuring the company.

Redwood, California-based Openwave, which was formed by a merger of Phone.com and Software.com last November, said its net loss, including merger and acquisition related charges and stock-based compensation, was $170.5 million, or 99 cents a share compared with $168.0 million, or $1.04 a year ago.

Excluding the charges, it reported a pro forma net loss of $5.9 million, or 3 cents a diluted share compared with a loss of $4.9 million, or 3 cents a year ago, in line with its warning earlier this month.

Analysts on average were expecting a loss of 3 cents according to Thomson Financial/First Call with estimates ranging from a loss of 2 cents to a loss of 4 cents.

Revenues rose to $117.2 million from $80.8 million a year ago, in line with its expectations of $115 million to $120 million. Openwave expects to take a restructuring charge of $35 million to $40 million in its fiscal second quarter. It expects revenues of about $100 million and a pro forma loss of 6 cents to 19 cents in that quarter.

AFTER THE BELL - Openwave down 20 pct; other techs follow
(UPDATE: Updates prices, adds background)

By Haitham Haddadin

NEW YORK, Oct 29 (Reuters) - Shares of Openwave Systems Inc. (NasdaqNM:OPWV - news) fell more than 20 percent in after-hours trade on Monday after the communications software firm reported a narrower net loss, but said it was restructuring the company. Other techs were flat to lower.

Openwave fell to $7.18 on the Instinet electronic system from a close at $8.99 on the Nasdaq. After the close Monday, Openwave`s chief financial officer said the company plans to cut at least 300 jobs, or about 13 percent of its work force as part of its restructuring plan.

Earlier, the company reported a narrower net loss and an increase in sales for its fiscal first quarter, but said it was negatively affected by the slowdown in the economy.

Rudolph Technologies, Inc. (NasdaqNM:RTEC - news) fell to $24 after-hours from a close at $26.26 on the Nasdaq. The developer of systems used to build semiconductors reported lower third-quarter earnings and warned that its fourth-quarter revenues will fall further.

Optical components maker MRV Communications, Inc. (NasdaqNM:MRVC - news) rose to $4.96 after hours from $4.81, its close on the Nasdaq. The company reported a wider third-quarter net loss from a year ago as revenues fell. But the firm increased its fourth-quarter revenue estimates.

The Nasdaq-100 after-hours indicator fell a little, down 5.04 points or 0.37 percent, based on trading in the aftermarket in the tech-heavy index`s leading stocks.

XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. (NasdaqNM:XMSR - news), the satellite radio firm, said its net loss widened as it launched its service in San Diego and Dallas in September. Its shares traded at their Nasdaq close at $6.80 or lower, at $6.75 and $6.64, in very thin activity.

Sykes Enterprises Inc. (NasdaqNM:SYKE - news), a provider of customer management products, net income of $1.7 million meeting its expectations by adding business from existing clients. Shares traded at a par with their close at $7.96 on the Nasdaq.

In other news, insurer Allmerica Financial Corp. (NYSE:AFC - news) reported sharply lower profits, saying it was hit by losses in its money management and commercial insurance operations. No trading was reported in its shares in the aftermarket. Allmerica shares closed at $40.97 on the New York Stock Exchange.

In regular trade, stocks fell sharply, suffering the steepest drop since the week after the Sept. 11 attacks amid fears of a massive debt default by Argentina and news that aerospace giant Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA - news) lost out on a projected $200 billion U.S. government contract for fighter jets.

Wall Street was also bracing for a slew of economic numbers, which analysts warned could test investors` resilience this week. The data will include reports on jobs, consumer confidence, manufacturing and third-quarter growth, which could point to a recession.

The Dow Jones industrial average (^DJI - news) sank 275.67 points, or 2.89 percent, to end at 9,269.50. The broader Standard & Poor`s 500 Index (^SPX - news) sank 26.31 points, or 2.38 percent, to 1,078.30. The technology-laced Nasdaq Composite Index (^IXIC - news) tumbled 69.44 points, or 3.93 percent, to 1,699.52.

Hallo scarface - ist schon manchmal drollig, diese beinahe-Gleichzeitigkeit: Schau mal in den Nachbarthread mit OPWV.

[DerMusiker]

Der eigentliche Pferdefuß ist also die Aussicht auf das nächste Quartal mit einer Ausweitung des Verlustes auf bis zu 19 Cents pro Aktie bei sinkenden Einnahmen (100 Mill.).

Schon übel...

Wow!

Strong sell!

Marktkapitalisierung über 1,5 Milliarden Dollar???

[ErwinMeier]

@Arminios
Bei einem Jahresumsatz von ca.500 Mio$ ergibt sich ein Kurs/Umsatz-Verhältnis von 3. Also absurd teuer ist das für mich nicht. Ich werde die Aktie halten.

[Ariminios]

Das findest Du nicht teuer??? Hallo,wir haben nicht mehr März 2000! Alles was über KUV 0,5 ist,ist teuer! Von den Verlusten dazu wolln wir ja garnicht erst reden!

fuck

[luto9]

Was erwartest Du eigentlich? Die Börse war noch nie eine
Einbahnstraße! Es zählt immer der Einstieg. Man kann doch
den Verlust rechtzeitig eingrenzen.
Jetzt sind doch prima Einstiegskurse.
Sieh mal wie andere Werte in den letzten Tagen gelitten
haben. Z.B. Conexant die von allen Seiten hochgejubelt
worden sind.

Ich sehe Openwave gar nicht so negativ. In dem Kurs sind
alle negativen Sachen eingearbeitet. Allerdings fehlt es
immer noch an einer Nachricht mit guten "Zahlen".

Böse sieht es erst aus, wenn es unter $ 8 geht.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Openwave Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: OPWV - news), the worldwide leader of open, IP-based communications infrastructure software and applications, today announced that revenues for the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2001 were $93.4 million as compared to $109.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000.

Pro forma loss for the second fiscal quarter was $12.9 million, or $0.07 per basic share, excluding restructuring charges, losses on investments in equity securities, goodwill and other merger and acquisition-related charges and stock-based compensation, compared to a pro forma income of $15.8 million or $0.09 per fully diluted share for the second fiscal quarter of 2000.

Based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (GAAP), net loss for the second fiscal quarter was $500 million, or $2.88 per basic share, compared to a net loss of $228.6 million, or $1.38 per basic share for the second quarter in the prior fiscal year. The per share numbers are based on 173.5 million weighted average basic shares outstanding for the second fiscal quarter of 2001 for both the pro forma and GAAP-based numbers, and on 180.6 million fully diluted and 165.1 million weighted average basic shares outstanding, for the second fiscal quarter of 2000 for the pro forma and GAAP based numbers, respectively.

As of December 31, 2001, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments of $345.4 million, excluding $22.3 million set aside as restricted cash, compared to $365.1 million of cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments as of the end of the September 2001 quarter, excluding $22.3 million in restricted cash. Total assets and stockholders` equity were $1.1 billion and $991 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2001.

During the quarter, the Company recorded $284.4 million in non-cash charges for the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets related to certain acquisitions and for certain equity investments and market declines in the Company`s investment portfolio. In addition, as part of the restructuring plan announced on October 29, 2001, management has recorded approximately $36 million in charges for restructuring costs for the quarter. These amounts are excluded from the pro forma loss reported above.

``With over 80 million people using mobile Internet services, we remain enthusiastic about the market opportunity,`` said Don Listwin, Openwave president and CEO. ``Openwave`s solid competitive position, strong industry partnerships and technology leadership will enable us to grow when the market regains momentum.``

Total active mobile subscribers served by Openwave`s carrier customers grew by 4.3 million to 30.0 million at the end of December 2001, up from 25.7 million at the end of September 2001. During the quarter, the number of carriers with more than one million active mobile subscribers using Openwave`s software increased to eight.

Openwave reports wider-than-expected loss

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 2 (Reuters) - Wireless software developer Openwave Systems Inc.(NasdaqNM:OPWV - News) on Tuesday reported a preliminary quarterly loss per share about twice as wide as it had forecast.
ADVERTISEMENT



Redwood City, California-based Openwave, known for its Web browser for mobile devices, said its loss, excluding non-operating items, was 17 cents to 22 cents per share in its fiscal fourth quarter, ended June 30, compared with its earlier expectation of a loss of 6 cents to 13 cents.

The company had drawn down its cash reserves by between nil and $5 million and had about $285 million in cash and investments at the end of the quarter, it said.

Revenues were between $64 million and $71 million, with a gross profit margin 70 percent to 75 percent, it reported. That compared with its expectations of revenues of $85 million, plus or minus 7.5 percent.

Openwave shares plunge 45 percent after warning

CHICAGO, July 3 (Reuters) - Shares of Openwave Systems Inc. (NasdaqNM:OPWV - News) on Wednesday plunged 45 percent to an all-time low after the wireless software developer warned its fiscal fourth-quarter loss would be significantly wider than it had estimated.
ADVERTISEMENT



The stock dropped to $2.55, off 45.3 percent or $2.11 from Tuesday`s close in early morning trading on the Nasdaq.

The Redwood City, California-based firm, which makes software that allows mobile phone users to view the Internet, said late on Tuesday its loss, excluding nonoperating items, was expected to be 17 cents to 22 cents in its fiscal fourth quarter, ended June 30, compared with its earlier expectation of a 6 cent to 13 cent loss.

Openwave also said revenues would be between $64 million to $71 million, short of its expectation of $85 million, plus or minus 7.5 percent.

Following the news, Credit Suisse First Boston downgraded its investment rating on Openwave to "hold" from "buy," Salomon Smith Barney cut its rating to "neutral" from "buy," and Merrill Lynch cut its mid-term rating to "reduce/sell" from "neutral."

"Our downgrade is based on further next generation network pushouts, continued European carrier spending reductions, and our lower than consensus handset sales expectations," CSFB analyst Tim Long said in a research note.

J.P. Morgan analyst Edward Snyder said he believed the adoption of wireless data services will be slower than expected and Openwave will benefit from it at a more gradual pace than originally anticipated.

"We expect the slow pace of wireless data adoption to continue for the long-term, limiting profitability for the company into the second half of 2003," he said.

Openwave loss in line with lowered expectations

(Updates with company`s comment, forecast)

REDWOOD CITY, Calif, July 23 (Reuters) - Wireless software supplier Openwave Systems Inc. (NasdaqNM:OPWV - News) on Tuesday posted a fourth-quarter loss that met its own lowered expectations as revenue fell by half amid the slump in the telecommunications industry.
ADVERTISEMENT



Openwave also said its per-share loss for the current quarter would be larger than the current Wall Street consensus.

Redwood, California-based Openwave reported a net loss of $474.8 million, or $2.73 a share, for the fiscal quarter, up from a net loss of $142.2 million, or 84 cents a share, a year ago.

Excluding merger and acquisition charges, stock-based compensation and restructuring charges, the company lost $33.2 million, or 19 cents a share, compared with a profit of $19.2 million, or 11 cents a share, a year ago.

Openwave earlier this month said it expected to post a loss, excluding items, of 17 cents to 22 cents instead of its earlier loss forecast of 6 cents to 13 cents. Analysts on average expected a loss of 19 cents, according to Thomson First Call.

Revenue for the period ended June 30 fell to $70.1 million from $145.9 million, in line with its lowered expectation of $64 million to $71 million.

The company also forecast that for the quarter ending Sept. 30 its loss will range between 18 cents and 28 cents per share. Analysts on average are expecting a loss of 7 cents to 21 cents a share, with a mean of 14 cents a share, according to Thomson First Call.

The company said its revenue in the September quarter will be around $68 million, plus or minus 10 percent, which would work out to a range of $61.2 million to $74.8 million. Analysts on average were expecting revenue of $67.22 million, according to Thomson First Call.

The telecommunications industry as a whole has battled slack demand and increased competition against the backdrop of a weak economy.

"An unprecedented storm is raging in the telecommunications industry," Don Listwin, Openwave chief executive officer, said in a statement.

Openwave closed down 6 cents, or 4.1 percent, at $1.42 in Tuesday Nasdaq trading.

Openwave shares fall 22 pct after earnings report

CHICAGO, July 24 (Reuters) - Shares of wireless software company Openwave Systems Inc. (NasdaqNM:OPWV - News) on Wednesday fell nearly 22 percent to an all-time low of $1.11 after the company sounded a cautious note for fiscal 2003.

The stock was down 30 cents, or 21 percent, at $1.12 in midmorning trade on Nasdaq.

Redwood City, California-based Openwave on Tuesday posted a fiscal fourth-quarter loss that was in line with its own lowered expectations, but warned that it expects the market to remain difficult for the next four to six quarters as wireless operators cut back on spending.

"The business hasn`t stabilized yet and continues to trend down," Peter Friedland, wireless analyst with WR Hambrecht & Co., said. "Wireless Internet services have yet to generate meaningful interest outside of Korea and Japan."

Friedland said he was particularly disappointed by Openwave`s guidance that it would burn through $25 million to $30 million in cash in the September quarter, up from $3.4 million in the June quarter.

"We continue to believe Openwave is well positioned to capitalize on the deployment of wireless data, but we expect the stock will not recover until a return of mobile data subscriber growth," Edward Snyder, analyst with J.P. Morgan, said in a research note.

Openwave is the top supplier of software that mobile service providers use to offer text and instant messaging to customers. It also provides mobile Web-browsing software.
