ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Catalina Marketing
Corporation (NYSE: POS) today reported financial results for its first quarter
ended June 30, 2005.
For the three months ended June 30, 2005, consolidated revenues were
$91.9 million, compared with revenues of $95.4 million in the comparable
period of fiscal year 2005. Consolidated net income for the first quarter was
$13.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared with net income of
$10.9 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal year
2005. First quarter results in fiscal year 2005 included $2.4 million in
losses from discontinued operations due principally to operating losses from
the divested non-core businesses.
The company reported consolidated income from continuing operations for
the quarter ended June 30, 2005 of $13.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted share,
compared with $13.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the quarter ended
June 30, 2004.
"While first quarter earnings per share were in line with expectations, we
recognize the need to grow our top line and intend to focus on this objective
with the launch of new services and entry into new channels," said Dick Buell,
chief executive officer of Catalina Marketing. "Catalina Health Resource and
International both experienced growth in revenues for the quarter; however,
Catalina Marketing Services revenues declined due to a challenging first
quarter. We remain solidly committed to building future revenue and earnings
growth, and we are seeing important indications of acceptance of many of our
new products and services."
