Red Hat: Big bucks, big Linux
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
*Summary: Red Hat's second quarter was another roaring success no matter by any standard.*
|
|
|
|
Who says you can't make money from Linux? Not [Red Hat][1]!
|
|
|
|
In its 2013 second quarter, Red Hat saw total revenue for the quarter of $374 million. That was an increase of 16 percent in US dollars from 2012's second quarter. Subscription revenue for the quarter was $327 million, up 17 percent in U.S. dollars year-over-year.
|
|
|
|
“We are a market leader for new innovations based on open source technologies that are driving the transformation of the data center toward an open, hybrid cloud infrastructure. ” stated Jim Whitehurst, Red Hat's President and CEO during the earnings conference call.
|
|
|
|
Besides its flagship product [Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)][2], Whitehurst also cited Red Hat's recent introduction of its infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud, RHEL OpenStack Platform as leading to a still brighter future.
|
|
|
|
Whitehurst added that "The combination of OpenStack with our platform-as-a-service (PaaS), open software-defined storage and cloud management solutions create a compelling road map for our customers in the move to cloud computing.”
|
|
|
|
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) operating income for Red Hat's second quarter was $56 million, up 11 percent year-over-year. After adjusting for stock compensation, amortization of intangible assets and facility exit expenses, non-GAAP operating income for the second quarter was $94 million, up 19 percent year-over-year. For the second quarter, GAAP operating margin was 14.8 percent and non-GAAP operating margin was 25.2 percent.
|
|
|
|
Net income for the quarter was $41 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared with $35 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the year ago quarter. After adjusting for stock compensation, amortization of intangible assets and facility exit expenses, non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $68 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, as compared to $55 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the year ago quarter.
|
|
|
|
This meant that [Red Hat's earnings per share (EPS) of 0.35 was two cents higher than analyst estimates][3].
|
|
|
|
“We delivered mid-to-high teens growth across several financial metrics including revenue, non-GAAP operating income and operating cash flow,” stated Charlie Peters, Red Hat's Executive Vice President and CFO in a statement. “These results were driven in particular by strong subscription revenue growth, which was up 17 percent in US dollars."
|
|
|
|
The bottom line is that Red Hat is doing very well indeed.
