i2 fourth-quarter earnings top expectations
(UPDATE: Adds stock price, relative performance, revenues, company comment)
NEW YORK, Jan 17 (Reuters) - i2 Technologies Inc. (NasdaqNM:ITWO - news), maker of software for business-to-business commerce, on Wednesday reported unexpectedly strong fourth-quarter results, saying it sees no signs of a slowdown in its business despite worries of a weakening economy.
Dallas-based i2 earned $44 million, or 9 cents per share, in the 2000 fourth-quarter, compared with 5 cents per share in the year-ago period. The results exclude amortization, one-time charges, some taxes, acquisitions, net losses on minority investments and other expenses.
Analysts had expected the company to earn 8 cents a share, according to research firm First Call/Thomson Financial.
Without those exclusions, the company had a net loss of $727 million, or $1.80 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter.
``We clearly haven't seen a slowdown in our business so far,'' Chairman Sanjiv Sidhu said in a statement.
Revenues soared 116 percent to $378 million from $175 million in the year-ago period.
Shares of i2 closed up $5-45/64, or nearly 12 percent, at $53-7/8 on Nasdaq. The price level was the same as in March, after a meltdown in the technology sector slashed the stock's value by more than half.
The stock has strongly outperformed that of industry giant Ariba Inc. (NasdaqNMhttp://www.stock-channel.net/Board/smilies/smilewinkgrin.gifRBA - news), which tumbled last week on fears that the company may not be able to sustain the pace of its revenue growth.
