NEW YORK (AP) - Chinese information technology company Camelot Information Systems Inc. said Monday that its second-quarter revenue rose nearly 5 percent, as most of its business saw growth despite the uncertain economy in the country.
The company's net income slipped to $2.4 million, or 5 cents per American Depositary share, in the April-June period. That's down 16 percent from $2.9 million, or 6 cents per ADS, in the same period a year earlier.
A 4 percent decrease in the number of outstanding shares helped the per-share results in the recent quarter.
Revenue increased 6 percent to $62.1 million from $59.4 million.
Analysts, on average, were expecting earnings of 6 cents per share, on revenue of $62 million, according to FactSet.
The company expects revenue of about $70 million for the current quarter. Analysts are forecasting $67.7 million.
U.S.-traded shares of the Beijing-based company added 3 cents, to $2.25 in afternoon trading. The stock has traded between $1.75 and $6.85 in the past 52 weeks.
