On April 26, Motley Fool Rule BreakerAkamai Technologies
- Akamai's $90.8 million in Q1 sales set a new quarterly record and blew away estimates.
- GAAP per-share earnings included $0.10 worth of charges for stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, and taxes. Excluding these non-cash items, net income equaled $29.4 million, or $0.17 per stub -- good enough to beat Street estimates by a penny.
- Owner earnings came in at $12.9 million, for a 14.3% OE margin. That's lower than the 20% Akamai has been able to deliver historically.
- The company raised its full-year guidance to at least $380 million in sales, which would equal a 34% year-over-year gain, and $0.73 in normalized per-share earnings, which would equal a 40% year-over-year gain.
