Alcatel-Lucent Turns First Ever Profit
LONDON -- When France's Alcatel bought America's Lucent Technologies in 2006 for $13 billion, bringing together a fixed-line pro and a wireless champion, the deal seemed to make business sense. So far the opposite has been true: Alcatel-Lucent's mounting losses since then have sent the network supplier's stock down 80% and led to a management shake-up, with Ben Verwaayen picked as the new boss last year. But Thursday marked a milestone for Alcatel-Lucent ( ALU - news - people ), when Verwaayen was able to announce a first-ever quarterly net profit of 2 million euros ($2.8 million), or one euro cent per share. There won't be much champagne poured, though, given that the net profit is set to disappear as quickly as it arrived. Alcatel was unprofitable at an operating level, and was only boosted by one-off gains including the sale of its stake in defence firm Thales ( THLEY - news - people )."[A net loss next quarter] is fairly certain," said Nicolas von Stackelberg, an analyst with Oppenheim. He said that when e...Click here to read the whole Article (external link)
Alcatel Confident Despite Loss
Though he had to report a $536.6 million loss for the quarter, Alcatel-Lucent chief executive Ben Verwaayen assured investors that his cost-cutting and restructuring plans will continue apace. Investors were heartened by his outlook and shares in the company rose in late trading.Shares of Alcatel-Lucent rose 0.2%, to 1.96 euros ($2.62), during late trading in Paris on Tuesday, recovering from an early-morning loss of around 6.0%. The stock is still up 36.9% since Feb. 5, buoyed by improved market sentiment surrounding technology companies like Ericsson ( ERIC - news - people ) and Nokia ( NOK - news - people ).On a conference call to announce the results, Verwaayen called 2009 a "transition year" and said it would present a foundation on which to produce much better results. He said that the unsatisfactory quarterly performance would not change the company's 2009 guidance."There was nothing new on the call, but the company was confident of being able to reach its goals," said Roland Pitz, an analyst with Unicredit.Alcatel-Lucent hopes to break even this year on an adjusted operating-profit level, which would exclude restructuring costs, asset write-downs, one-off gains and the knock-on effects of ...Click here to read the whole Article (external link)
No Green Shoots For Alcatel
When will a turnaround come for unprofitable Franco-American network supplier Alcatel-Lucent? The company drafted in new chief executive Ben Verwaayen last year to stem its losses, and its shares have been grasping for a rally since March in the hope that he might deliver improved quarterly results. But on Tuesday, Alcatel turned in a $563.6 million net loss, more than twice last year's $241.7 million loss.The company also reported a double-digit decline in North American sales, and said that product mix and volumes had knocked 4.7 percentage points off its gross margin over the year. CEO Verwaayen is trying to slim the company down by slashing management positions and contractors--Alcatel has cut 290 management positions out of a planned 1,000, along with 770 contractors out of a planned 5,000--but he will need to play more cards to fully regain investor confidence."It's not a disaster, but it's not good either," said Roland Pitz, an analyst with Unicredit. "There was more hope in the market."Shares of Alcatel-Lucent ( ALU - news - people ) slumped 5.6%, or 11 euro cents (15 cents), to 1.85 euros ($2.47), during morning trading in Paris. The stock is still up 28.1% since Feb. 5, buoyed by improved market sentiment surrounding technology companies like Nokia ( ...Click here to read the whole Article (external link)
Middle East Motors Rolls-Royce
The aerospace industry is facing a slump in demand, as travelers spend less and airlines cut back on orders, but the Middle East can still be counted on to provide some last gasps of investment despite the slowdown.Abu Dhabi-based airline Etihad announced on Tuesday a $575.0 million deal with aero-engine manufacturer (other-otc: RYCEY - news - people ) to buy and maintain eight engines, for use in Airbus A330 aircraft due for delivery between 2009 and 2011. Etihad has already picked Rolls-Royce engines to power 16 other A330 aircraft, as well as for 34 other Airbus planes. Tthe long-term "Total Care" maintenance agreements included will last for 15-20 years and should keep service sales flowing for the engine-maker.Shares of Rolls-Royce advanced 2.2%, to 321.25 pence ($4.76), in London, while Airbus parent (other-otc: EADSF - news - people ) gained 2.1%, to 11.52 euros ($16.11), in Paris.
