License revenues up 73%. Total revenues up 46%. The company had some expenses related to an acquisition which they always fold into the income statement. Therefore, the operating margin looks much lower than it really is. Suites (multi-product sales) are over 50% of sales now, which just shows how much demand there was for the new products that Advent introduced in the last two years. Just released Axys 3.0, which will help ADVS move up in targeting larger money mgmt. organizations (it has more fixed-income functionality). Maintenance renewals were 95%, which is up from 92% historically and 94% last quarter. The company is really lowballing the Street and they may do $1.20 this year (up 40%) and possibly $1.60 next year. I think it's still somewhat expensive at 40X '98 and 30X '99, but I only sold half of what I owned (at $46 a couple weeks ago). I wouldn't buy any here, but I wouldn't cash out either.
