On Feb. 8, Akamai Technologies (Nasdaq: AKAM ) released fiscal 2005 earnings for the period ended Dec. 31, 2005.
- Sales of $283.1 million blew away analyst estimates. Profit appeared to be astounding, yet results included a $255.3 million tax benefit from Q3. Without that, EPS came in at $0.52, still ahead of Street expectations.
- Owner earnings were $58.8 million, which I like.
- Both gross and operating margins continued a healthy advance. (Find out why this is important to Rule Breakers like Akamai.)
