i2 - GEWINNWARNUNG

DALLAS, July 3 (Reuters) - Business-to-business software company i2 Technologies Inc. (ITWO) warned on Tuesday that its second-quarter results will be lower than expected because of "difficult" market conditions.

For the second quarter, Dallas-based i2 anticipates reporting a pro forma loss of about 12 cents a share, excluding a $25 million to $27 million, or a 4-cent-a-share bad debt charge. The company took the charge primarily because of conditions "surrounding dot-com and public marketplace customers," i2 said in a statement. The Thomson Financial/First Call consensus estimate is a loss of 6 cents a share.

The pro forma net loss excludes a $33 million to $35 million, or 5-cent-a-share, restructuring charge, as well as other pro forma adjustments. Without the additional charge and various other adjustments, i2 expects to report a net loss per share of about $2.10 to $2.12 a share.

i2 expects revenue of $235 million to $240 million, including license revenues of $103 million to $107 million.

"Market conditions were much more difficult than we had anticipated this quarter - even more difficult that we had experienced in the first quarter," said Chief Executive Greg Brady in a statement. "These conditions prevented us from achieving what we believed were conservative estimates for the quarter."
