Yahoo! Quarterly Earns Meet Expectations
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (Reuters) - Yahoo! Inc. (NasdaqNM:YHOO - news), the leading
Internet media site, on Wednesday reported fourth quarter earnings that met analyst
forecasts but issued earnings and revenue guidance for 2001 below current expectations.
The company said it earned $80.2 million, or 13 cents per diluted share, in the latest quarter, compared with $55.7 million, or 9
cents per share a year earlier. Analysts who follow the company, on average, had expected the company to post earnings of 13
cents per share, according to First Call/Thomson Financial, which tracks forecasts.
Revenues rose 53 percent to $310.9 million in the latest quarter from $203.1 million the year before. The company generates
most of its revenue from selling advertising on its site.
The company also said it expects to report earnings per share for the full year 2001 of between 33 cents and 43 cents, well
below the consensus analyst forecast of 48 cents per share, and revenues of $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion for the year.
The soft online advertising market has hit the company hard as many of its clients have scaled back on marketing or gone out of
business altogether.
