Lucent Reports Better-Than-Expected Profit

By Jessica Hall

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Lucent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:LU - news), the world's largest maker of telecommunications equipment, on Thursday reported
better-than-expected first quarter profits, buoyed by strong demand for data networking equipment and improving foreign sales.

Lucent, which last week agreed to buy data networking company Ascend Communications Inc. (Nasdaq:ASND - news), also said it was optimistic about its
prospects for its fiscal year ending in September. It expects earnings per share for the year to increase about 35 percent on revenue growth of about 19 percent
to 20 percent.

In the first quarter ending December 1998, Lucent's profit increased to $2.7 billion or $2.00 a share, compared with $792 million, or 61 cents a share a year
ago.

Excluding one-time gains and charges, first quarter profit rose 26 percent to a record $1.414 billion or $1.05 a share. The results beat Wall Street earnings
expectations of $1.01 a share, according to First Call, which tracks analysts' estimates. "...............Tim
