FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda COLUMBIA, Md. (AP) — Computer network security company Sourcefire Inc. said Monday that its first-quarter net income dropped sharply because of higher operating expenses even though revenue grew.
The results came in above analysts’ estimates and Sourcefire shares rose in after-hours trading.
The company earned $67,000, in the January-March period, which amounted to break-even on a per-share basis. That’s down from $460,000, or 2 cents per share, in the same period a year ago.
Adjusted earnings were $3.4 million, or 11 cents per share in the latest quarter. That excludes stock-compensation expenses and other special items.
