Palm Reports Q3 FY07 Results
Palm Inc today reported revenue of $410.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, ended March 2. Smartphone sell-through for the period reached a company record high totaling 738,000 units, up 30 percent year over year and up 20 percent sequentially.
"We delivered solid results in the third fiscal quarter and continue to expand our global market presence," said Ed Colligan, Palm president and chief executive officer. "Treo smartphone sell-through and revenue reached record levels, and Palm products were available to smartphone customers through seven of the top 10 carriers in the world."
Net income in the fiscal quarter totaled $11.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. Net income included stock-based compensation expense of $5.7 million, an in-process research and development charge from acquisitions during the quarter of $3.7 million and amortization of intangible assets of $0.3 million. This compares to net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 of $29.9 million, or $0.28 per diluted share.
Net income for the quarter, on a non-GAAP basis, totaled $16.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, excluding stock-based compensation expense, an in-process research and development charge and amortization of intangible assets, and adjusting the income tax provision to 40 percent. This compares to non-GAAP net income in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 of $19.8 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, excluding the effects of amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock-based compensation, the related income tax provision, and the partial reversal of Palm's valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2007 Outlook
Based on current trends, Palm provided its outlook for financial results in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, which ends June 1, 2007. The company expects the following:
- Revenue to be in the range of $400 million to $410 million;
- Gross margin to be between 35.9 percent and 36.4 percent on a GAAP basis and between 36.0 percent and 36.5 percent on a non-GAAP basis;
- Operating expenses to be between $130 million and $135 million on a GAAP basis and between $124 million and $129 million on a non-GAAP basis;
- Annual tax rate on a GAAP basis of 40 percent and, on a non-GAAP basis, 40 percent;
- Earnings per diluted share to be between $0.10 and $0.13 on a GAAP basis and between $0.13 and $0.16 on a non-GAAP basis; and
- SFAS 123R stock-based compensation expense, before taxes, to be between $5.0 million and $5.5 million and amortization of intangible assets to be $1.0 million. These amounts and the related income tax amounts are excluded from Palm's fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 outlook on a non-GAAP basis.

RE: Treo's up 30%
Revenue split was 86% smartphones, 14% handhelds
Handheld revenue was $57m, while smphone was $354m
Colligan got notably perturbed by that second takeover rumor question!
RE: Treo's up 30%
Handheld revenue $56.4 million
44% decline YoY 277 000 units Sold
sell through 456 000 units
decrease 44% YoY
Inventory of 46 weeks
So basically the retailers sold 456 000,and only ordered 277 000 new ones. Handhelds are phasing out fast.

RE: Treo's up 30%
Why *would* retailers order more handhelds when the only handhelds available are 2-year-old models? Palm is accelerating the decline of handheld sales by not providing any new models worth wanting. It's not like they (or anyone else) has done all that they could possibly do to improve upon a non-cellphone handheld. There's plenty of innovative ideas out there: gaming-friendly controls, built-in GPS, 4GB of storage with good MP3 software and optimized hard buttons/controls. IMO, they're only shooting themselves in the foot by *not* spending R&D dollars on some of those ideas. In the cellphone market they've got *tons* of competition. With a non-cellphone (aka carrier-controlled) device, they stand the chance of hitting upon a great idea and having very little competition.

RE: Treo's up 30%
So close to a half a million people don't matter? I'm not even counting the ones who are still holding onto *older* models.
After the iPhone squishes the sh*t out of them, they'll cling to whatever PDA sales are left like a dead log in the rapids.
That Third Business had better be bloody incredible...

My take on King Colligan's conference call.
When PDAs were mentioned in the call, Colligan and/or Brown started CHUCKLING! Colligan then goes on to clearly prove that he lied and has no plans at all to make another serious PDA.
Sickening Colligan pseudo-quotes from the call:
- "We are not commenting on the Palm sale! END OF STORY! Now shut up and leave us majesty alone! Hey, little lady secretary, do you your job; can we have the next question please?!" *then his bitch boy Brown mumbles a few things to back up Master Colligan. Colligan's arrogant hateful response to the 2 guys who asked fair questions about the Palm sale rumours show what kind of man he is.
- "We are managing the PDA decline as best we can". In other words, he has no plan to sell another pda to actually make some sales! He wants the PDA decline.
- "We are investing the PDA profits towards our preferred/serious strategic product, the Treo."
- "We are all happy to announce a 40% decline in PDAs and we are looking forward to 50% or more. We have no plans for this lame market." Logic says that if he PLANS a 50% decline in the next quarter, then Hawkins 3rd business is not a handheld. Colligan has confirmed the death of handhelds WITH HIS COMPANY.
Colligan will go on to abandon handhelds, and he will never regret it, simply because if ever Palm Inc. fails or is sold, Colligan will retire with all his millions or move on to another company, all while smirking at how great he thinks he is.
I strongly enocurage all Palm handheld fans to just move on and go buy PDAs or PDA-phones from companies like HP, HTC, etc.
RE: My take on King Colligan's conference call.
Uh... to me he sounded like a man exasperated at being asked the same question over and over, to which the people asking KNOW the answer: "We don't comment on rumours." And that's all the sale talk ever was: a rumour. And a piss-poor one at that. Unnamed "sources" tells some blog that Palm is "in play" (oh, how experienced-businessy-man-sounding). The evidence? They'd hired an investment banker. And... oh, wait, that's it.
If I were him, I'd have been far ruder. (i.e. actually rude at all. which colligan wasn't)
As for the PDA stuff, I agree that they're killing off the market for what seems like no good reason, but I don't think their reasoning is.... quite like you put it.

I apologise for any and all emoticons that appear in my posts. You may shoot them on sight.

RE: My take on King Colligan's conference call.
Ahem - that particular piece of "evidence" is itself rumored.
Whatta game!
Watch the Cramer video.
