EMC sees net income slide 14%, double-digit revenue growth in Q1
EMC, a provider of information infrastructure solutions, has reported its first-quarter revenue, which indicated a 19th consecutive quarter of revenue growth, as well as a net income slide due to acquisition charges.

Excluding this charge, net income was $348 million. EMC said its non-GAAP first-quarter net income, which excludes the IPR&D charge and other items, was $477.3 million, 28 percent higher than the non-GAAP earnings for the year-ago period.
Compared with the first quarter of 2007, EMC said its systems revenue increased 10 percent and represented 41 percent of total first-quarter revenue. Software license and maintenance revenue increased 18 percent and accounted for 41 percent of total revenue, and other services revenue grew 30 percent and represented 18 percent of total revenue, according to the company.
