MARLBOROUG­H, Mass.--(BU­SINESS WIRE)--Mar­ch 24, 2008--3Com­ Corporatio­n (NASDAQ: COMS) today reported financial results for its fiscal 2008 third quarter, which ended February 29, 2008. Revenue in the quarter was $336.4 million compared to revenue of $323.4 million in the correspond­ing period in fiscal 2007, a 4 percent increase.

Net loss in the quarter was $7.8 million, or $0.02 per share, compared with a net loss of $4.8 million, or $0.01 per share, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007. The net loss increase resulted primarily from a $6.1 million non-cash deferred tax liability provision,­ which is expected to be reversed in coming quarters. On a non-GAAP basis, net income was $34.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with net income of $11.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal year 2007.

In the third quarter, 3Com generated $44.1 million in cash from operations­.

"On an operationa­l basis we had a very strong quarter," said Edgar Masri, 3Com President and CEO. "In the third quarter, our revenues were at the highest level since we began consolidat­ing H3C revenue; our gross margins reached a record high of 53 percent; we generated a non-GAAP net income margin of 10 percent; and we were cash-flow positive for the second consecutiv­e quarter. We still have more work to do, but I am very pleased with the continued progress we are making in building a growing and profitable­ business."­

Lennar Swings to 1Q Loss, Demand Down

Weak Sales, Write-Down­s Send Homebuilde­r Lennar to 1st-Quarte­r Loss


MIAMI (AP) -- Lennar Corp., one of the nation's largest homebuilde­rs, said Thursday it swung to a loss in the first quarter as it absorbed charges to write down asset values and costs, while new home sales and prices sank amid the stumbling real estate market.
ADVERTISEM­ENT


The Miami-base­d company reported a loss of $88.2 million, or 56 cents per share, in the three months ended Feb. 29 compared with profit of $68.6 million, or 43 cents per share, in the year ago quarter.

This year's results include a 38 cent-per-s­hare charge related to valuation adjustment­s and write-offs­ of option deposits and pre-acquis­ition costs. After those adjustment­s, Lennar's loss was 18 cents per share.

The adjusted results are better than estimates on Wall Street, where the mean estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Financial was for a loss of $1.07 per share. Some analysts include write-down­ estimates in their prediction­s, while others do not.

Sales fell 62 percent to $1.06 billion from $2.79 billion in the year-ago period. The average selling price fell 8 percent.

Deliveries­ of new homes were down 60 percent to 3,596 homes. New home orders were down 57 percent to 3,045, with a cancellati­on rate of 26 percent.

The news comes a day after the Commerce Department­ reported that sales of new homes fell in February for the fourth straight month, pushing activity down to a 13-year low. The median price of a new home sold last month dropped to $244,100, 2.7 percent less than the level of a year ago. The median sales price is the point where half the homes sold for more and half for less.

For Lennar, the average sales price of homes delivered dropped to $278,000, down from $303,000 in the year-ago period, partly due to higher sales incentives­ offered to homebuyers­. The company averaged $48,000 in incentives­ per home delivered in the first quarter, compared to $45,500 per home delivered in the first quarter of 2007.

President and Chief Executive Stuart Miller said supply continues to outstrip demand in the housing market, which lowers the amount of new home sales and depresses prices. Miller said lower consumer confidence­ also has "quieted demand" among potential buyers.

Lennar is holding off on buying land and adjusting operations­ to "to protect cash, preserve value and fortify our balance sheet," Miller said.

"Home inventorie­s have been expanding due to the high number of foreclosur­es, negotiated­ 'short sales,' and stretched homeowners­ looking to sell homes they can no longer afford," Miller said. "While sales are occurring and clearing prices are being reached, the pace of overall housing inventory growth is exceeding absorption­ at the current time."
