On Thursday, Motley Fool Rule Breakers pick Secure Computing (NASDAQ:SCUR) released earnings for the second quarter, which ended June 30.
- On a Non-GAAP basis, which includes acquired deferred revenue and excludes intangibles, stock-based compensation, and other non-cash charges, Secure Computing earned $0.07 a share from $63.7 million in revenue.
- More than 100 deals worth at least $100,000 were booked during the quarter. Seven deals worth at least $1 million were closed. And that's with increased competitive pressure from the likes of Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO), Websense (NASDAQ:WBSN), and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG).
- Billings, a measure of Secure's success in multimonth or multiyear service contracts, were up 75% over last year's Q2. (Though a good portion of the gain was a result of the August 2006 acquisition of CipherTrust.)
- So far, Motley Fool CAPS investors like what they see. They give the stock five out of five stars. What's your take? Click here and let us know.
