Last month, Digital River reported revenues of $90.8 million in
the second quarter of 2012, down 1.8% from a year ago. This was far
below management's revenue guidance of $92 million to $94
million.
Net income came in at $200,000 or 1 cent per diluted share
compared to a net income of $291,000 or 1 cent per diluted share in
the year-ago quarter. The reported results were better than
management's estimates of a loss of 2 cents per share to break-even
earnings.
Excluding one-time items but including stock-based compensation,
net income per share came in at 6 cents per share, beating the
Zacks Consensus Estimate of 4 cents per share.
Going forward, Digital river continues to be wary of softness in
the global markets, especially weaker PC sales and uncertain
economic environment.
We continue to maintain a Neutral recommendation on Digital
River. Our recommendation is supported by a Zacks #3 Rank, which
translates into a short-term rating of Hold.
