BEA earnings miss license target
"We signed 17 license deals (worth) over $1 million in Q1. While this is the most we've ever signed in a Q1, we are disappointed that we did not meet our license revenue plans, especially in the Americas," BEA Chief Executive Officer Alfred Chuang said in a statement. Earnings were 6 cents per share. Excluding special items, earnings were 8 cents per share. Financial analysts had forecast that the company, which sells infrastructure software to corporations, would bring in 8 cents per share in the quarter.
