OPNET Announces Results for First Quarter of Fiscal 2008
Revenue of $23.3 million
Diluted earnings per share of $0.03
BETHESDA, MD – August 1, 2007 -- OPNET Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OPNT), a leading provider of management software for networks and applications, today announced that quarterly revenue for the first fiscal quarter, ended June 30, 2007, was $23.3 million, compared to $22.6 million for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. Earnings per share on a diluted basis for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 were $0.03, compared to $0.08 for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year.
Marc A. Cohen, OPNET’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “We are disappointed by the results for fiscal Q1. Fiscal Q1 historically has been the most challenging quarter for the Company to close deals. We encountered more deals with longer transaction processing time in both domestic and international accounts than we anticipated; however, transaction processing time associated with international accounts impacted us more than domestic accounts during the quarter. We do not believe our disappointing results are related to demand for our products, as our sales pipeline and customer demand for our products continues to be strong.”
