Novell Posts Profit, Sees Growth Ahead

Aug. 22
— PROVO, Utah (Reuters) - Business software maker Novell Inc.<NOVL.O> on Thursday posted a fiscal third-quarter profit, compared with its year-ago loss, on unseasonably strong sales in Europe and some big deals with corporations and government agencies in the United States.

The Provo, Utah-based provider of networking software and technology services had net income of $9.95 million, or 3 cents per share, for the three months ended July 31. In the year- earlier quarter Novell had a net loss of $19.27 million, or 6 cents a share.

Revenues rose to $282.27 million from $249.08 million.

Looking ahead, Novell said its fourth-quarter results will include costs and revenues related to its acquisition of Web services provider SilverStream on July 19.

Novell Chief Financial Officer Ron Foster said he expects total revenue be about $10 million higher than in the third- quarter.

Foster also sees per-share earnings, excluding extraordinary items, that are down 1 cent to 2 cents from the third-quarter, when the company`s profit was 4 cents a share, before charges.

The Novell CFO said he was taking a conservative view with respect to near-term guidance after the company booked a handful of hard-to-get large deals in the recent quarter. Such sales have been few and far between since corporations clamped down on technology spending due to the nation`s economic downturn.

Nevertheless, Novell sees better times ahead.

"With the progress we are making and the benefit of an improving IT market, we expect Novell to achieve overall year-over-year growth in 2003," Novell Chief Executive Jack Messman said in a statement.

Novell shares, which closed down slightly at $2.09 on Nasdaq before company issued its results, rose to $2.39 in after-hours activity on Instinet.
