“Caldera Systems, one of a handful of publicly traded Linux
companies, beat estimates today with a narrower-than-expected
loss.”
“The company reported a loss of 19 cents per share, not as
deep as the 25 cents expected by analysts surveyed by First
Call/Thomson Financial. The company had revenue of $1.2 million for
the three months ended July 31, a modest 9 percent better than the
$1.1 million the same quarter last year.“
“The company’s net loss for the quarter was $7.5 million,
compared with $2.2 million last year, Caldera said. The company
attributed the net loss to “infrastructure investment, advertising
and marketing development and strategic development as well as
non-cash charges for the amortization of deferred
compensation.”
