Nuscale Power earnings missed by $0.02, revenue fell short of estimates
Investing.com -- Trend Micro (OTC:TMICY) reported disappointing second-quarter results on Thursday, missing consensus estimates and lowering its full-year 2025 guidance due to macroeconomic headwinds and currency challenges.
The cybersecurity company posted sales of ¥66.4 billion, representing a 3.2% year-over-year decline and falling short of the ¥70.5 billion consensus estimate. Operating profit reached ¥13.5 billion, up 9.4% year-over-year but below the expected ¥15.0 billion.
When adjusted for currency effects, sales grew by a modest 1% compared to the same period last year. Operating profit margin improved to 20.3%, though this was still below the 21.2% consensus expectation.
Regional performance showed mixed results with Japan growing 2.5% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, while the Americas declined 5%. Europe increased 1.7% and Asia-Pacific/Middle East/Africa regions grew 4.1%.
By business segment, Enterprise sales increased 4% year-over-year while Consumer sales dropped 10%. Enterprise annual recurring revenue grew 3%. Japan was the only region showing Enterprise sales growth, up 5%.
Pre-GAAP sales figures painted a less favorable picture, with a 2% year-over-year decline on a constant currency basis. Enterprise sales fell 1% and Consumer sales dropped 6%. Japan grew 1%, while the US market declined significantly by 14%.
The company cited two main challenges: macroeconomic uncertainty delaying customer decision-making cycles, particularly in US public sectors where new projects are being paused, and negative foreign exchange impact from recent yen appreciation.
Trend Micro reduced its fiscal year 2025 guidance, cutting sales projections by 5.1% and operating profit by 11.1%. The company now forecasts an operating profit margin of 19.6%, down from its previous 20.9% projection, though this still represents a 2 percentage point improvement year-over-year.
The company also reported non-operating expenses of ¥5.17 billion due to foreign exchange losses, further impacting net profit for the fiscal year.
