- Net income and EPS benefited from a $2.7 million tax credit from the partial recognition of a deferred tax asset. Without it, EPS would have been $0.08 per stub, still ahead of Wall Street estimates.
- Management says it bought back 2 million shares from March to October. (Find out why buybacks aren't always a good thing by clicking here.)
- Keynote expects to book between $13.3 million and $13.7 million in sales and $0.01 and $0.03 in per-share earnings during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. That's well below Street expectations of $13.83 million and $0.08 per stub. Bummer.
