NEW YORK - MCSI Inc., which provides investment decision support tools, said Thursday its third-quarter income fell nearly 12 percent as higher expenses offset revenue growth.
| MXB | 15.49 |
MCSI said its profit for the quarter ended Aug. 31 slid to $18.9 million, or 19 cents per share, from $21.4 million, or 25 cents per share, in the same quarter last year.
Revenue jumped more than 19 percent to $110.4 million from $92.4 million.
The results missed Wall Street expectations. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected third-quarter earnings of 26 cents per share on $110.8 million in revenue.
MSCI said the lower profit reflected higher compensation expenses, higher interest costs and a "founders grant" expense in the most recent quarter.
The founders grant, which was approved last November, was a stock and options award to its employees worth $68 million, the company said.
Shares of MCSI fell 10 cents to $22 in afternoon trading.
