(InfoWorld) - Global expansion and strong Enterprise Linux subscription sales lifted Red Hat's revenue and net income to double-digit growth for its fiscal 2008 second quarter. The company reported profit of $18.2 million, or $0.09 per share, an increase of 64 percent year over year for the quarter that ended Aug. 31. Last year for the same quarter, Red Hat reported profit of $11.04 million. Revenue for the most recent second quarter was $127.3 million, an increase of 28 percent over the same quarter last year when the company reported revenue of $99.67 million. Non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) adjusted net income for the quarter was $36.9 million, or $0.17 per share, a figure in line with consensus estimates from analysts at Thomson First Call. Subscriptions revenue continued to outshine revenue from training and services, though both segments saw increases for the quarter. Revenue from subscriptions comprised $109.17 million, or 86 percent of revenue, while revenue from training and services was $18.1 million, or 14 percent. Red Hat attributed its strong growth to overseas expansion, particularly in Japan, where a Nikkei Market Access survey ranked Red Hat Japan the number-one technology vendor that customers intend to conduct business with in the future. The company also saw increases in operating margin and operating cash flow, business performance improvements that are important to Red Hat's global expansion, said Charlie Peters, executive vice president and CFO, in a statement. Non-GAAP operating margin was 20.7 percent for the quarter, an increase from 17.8 percent year over year. Non-GAAP operating cash flow was $63.7 million for the quarter, an increase of 43 percent year over year and 22 percent, sequentially. Red Hat continues to be the leading commercial provider of Linux server software, but the company also expanded its portfolio of open-source products for enterprise customers in the second quarter. Notable product releases during the quarter were JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.2, software infrastructure to help enterprises migrate legacy applications to an open-source platform, and a beta of Red Hat Developer Studio, a development runtime and set of open-source tools built on the popular Eclipse development framework. Red Hat also made gains in increasing support among third-party applications for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and passed the 3,000 mark for the number of applications certified to run on its enterprise OS. On a conference call Tuesday, Red Hat Chairman, CEO and President Matthew Szulik announced some changes to Red Hat's business structure as the company prepares to expand from a Linux company into a full-service enterprise software and services provider. Beginning Tuesday, the company is split into three lines of business: infrastructure, middleware, and online services. Each of those divisions will have a general manager who will be compensated on the profitability of his or her business, he said. General managers also will be responsible for product marketing, and Red Hat's Michael Chen, who is returning to the U.S. from China after a three-year stint building Red Hat's business there, is now vice president of corporate marketing, Szulik said.

Sun doubled its profit in the quarter ended Dec. 30, although revenue was nearly flat compared with the same period a year earlier, the company announced Thursday.Net income for the quarter, the second of Sun&#39;s fiscal year, was $260 million, or $0.31 per share, up from $133 million and $0.15 per share in the same quarter of fiscal 2006, the company announced Thursday.Revenue was $3.62 billion, up just 1.4 percent from the same quarter a year earlier. The growth came from Sun&#39;s services business, where revenue climbed 5 percent. Sales of servers and storage products, which account for about two-thirds of Sun&#39;s business, declined by 0.5 percent.Business was particularly slow in the U.S., where revenue declined 8 percent year over year. The EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) region performed better with growth of 7 percent. EMEA accounted for 39 percent of revenue in the quarter, overtaking the U.S., which is usually Sun&#39;s biggest source of revenue.Despite the quarter&#39;s slow growth, Sun said its full-year growth would be better. On a conference call, Chief Financial Officer Mike Lehman said revenue for fiscal 2008 would increase in the &quot;low-to-mid single digits&quot; and predicted revenue growth in the second half of greater than 5 percent.Sun&#39;s profit benefited from its ongoing cost-cutting plan, which has included several hundred layoffs so far. Its $260 million profit included a restructuring charge of $32 million.Sun announced a surprise plan last week to buy MySQL, the biggest open-source database vendor, for $1 billion. Sun officials said Thursday they are unsure whether the MySQL acquisition will close in the second or third quarter, and have not yet calculated the long-term impact on Sun&#39;s financials. They expect to take a one-time charge of $30 million to $50 million when the deal closes.
