Yahoo handily tops Q3 estimates

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Online media giant Yahoo turned in its eighth profitable quarter in a row Wednesday as strength in advertising and subscriptions helped boost sales 43 percent in the third quarter.

Late Wednesday, Yahoo (YHOO: news, chart, profile) said it earned $65 million, or 10 cents a share, up 124 percent from $29 million, or 5 cents, in the year-ago period. Analysts surveyed by Thomson/First Call expected 9 cents a share.

Yahoo traded up 3.3 percent to $40.08 in after-hours trading; they fell 14 cents to $38.79 in the regular session.

Yahoo said it grew sales to $356 million from $249 million. The consensus among analysts was for $337.8 million, but even the highest estimate, from SoundView Technology Group analyst Jordan Rohan, was for only $353 million. Rohan had expected Yahoo to earn 11 cents a share.

Going forward, Yahoo said that it expects to post sales between $462 million and $502 million in the fourth quarter. Keep in mind that this revised outlook reflects the Overture acquisition, which closed Tuesday. Excluding Overture's sales, analysts expected Yahoo to record sales of $373.69 million in the holiday quarter. Over the last year, Yahoo had spent roughly $1.8 billion to expand its advertising business to include paid-search listings. The Overture purchase accounted for the bulk of that investment. But for that acquisition, Yahoo risked losing Overture's MSN business, which accounted for about a third of Overture's revenue.

On a conference call following the release, Yahoo's chief operating officer Dan Rosensweig said that both Overture and Microsoft's (MSFT: news, chart, profile) MSN were working hard over the last couple of weeks to expand their relationship. Rosensweig responded to a question about whether Overture's relationship with Microsoft's MSN remained intact.

Yahoo also expects to generate operating cash flow between $130 million and $150 million.


Drilling down

Yahoo's marketing services unit grew 48 percent to $245 million. Even the most optimistic projection for this unit -- which includes Yahoo's branded advertising and paid-search listings business -- was for a 42 percent rise.

Yahoo's branded advertising sales grew 20 percent, the company said on a conference call following the release.

Fee revenue, which includes Yahoo's personals, e-mail services and co-branded SBC Communications Internet access, grew 38 percent, which also beat analysts' forecasts. Listing fees rose 26 percent.
