Lexmark Reports Weak Third-Quarter Financials
Nearly two months after Lexmark announced it would exit the inkjet business, the OEM released its third-quarter 2012 financial results. Lexmark reported 3Q12 revenue of $919 million, down from $1.035 billion last year, and net earnings of $65 million compared to $74 million in 2011. Lexmark’s Imaging Solutions and Services (ISS) revenue of $879 million declined 13 percent compared to the same period last year, and hardware and supplies revenue declined 24 percent and 10 percent, respectively. According to the company’s statement, "Lexmark’s focus continues to be on growing workgroup laser hardware and supplies, MPS and software revenue as inkjet continues to become a less significant portion of the company’s revenue mix." In the fourth quarter of 2012, the company expects revenue to decline between 10 and 12 percent year over year.
