Agilent : résultats quatrième trimestre de l'année fiscale

Agilent Technologies annonce les résultats du quatrième trimestre de son année fiscale 2005

Agilent Technologies Inc. vient d'annoncer des entrées de commandes de 1,5 milliards de $ pour son quatrième trimestre fiscal qui s'est terminé le 31 oct. 2005, en augmentation de 26% par rapport à 2004.

Le revenu pendant ce trimestre était de 1,41 milliards de $, +5% par rapport à l'an dernier. Le résultat net GAAP a été de 26 millions de $ (0,05 bénéfice par action diluée), contre 74 millions de $ (0,15 bénéfice par action diluée ) sur le même trimestre de l'année dernière.

During the fourth quarter, Agilent announced a definitive agreement to sell its Semiconductor Products business. As such, the business is being treated as a Discontinued Operation in its fourth quarter GAAP financial statements. If Semiconductor Products had been a continuing operation, Agilent would have reported fourth quarter orders of $1.98 billion, 24 percent above last year, and total revenues of $1.90 billion, four percent above one year ago.

Included in fourth quarter GAAP net earnings is a $48 million tax charge associated with repatriating $970 million of off-shore earnings under the Homeland Investment Act. Also included in GAAP results is $119 million composed largely of restructuring costs associated with Agilent's announced sale of its Semiconductor Products business and with the planned spin-off of the company's Semiconductor Test Solutions (STS) business. Excluding those costs, Agilent reported fourth quarter adjusted net income of $193 million, or $0.38 per share. On a comparable basis, the company earned $153 million, or $0.30 per share, one year ago.
