Late Monday, Syniverse reported second-quarter earnings of $20.4 million, or 30 cents per share, on revenue of $127.6 million.

Excluding items, it earned 42 cents per share. Wall Street analysts had on average been expecting the company to report a profit of 37 cents per share on $117.2 million in revenue, according to Thomson Financial.
