F5 (FFIV - commentary - Cramer's Take) soared after the networking company beat fiscal
fourth-quarter revenue targets and guided higher for the first quarter. The Seattle-based
company said revenue for the quarter ended last month rose 12% sequentially and 39%
from a year ago to $111.7 million. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial were looking
for revenue of $105.5 million.

For the first quarter ending Dec. 31, the company expects revenue of $116 million to $118
million, against a $110 Thomson target. The company didn't report earnings because it is
yet to complete a probe of apparent stock-option backdating. F5 said it will probably have to
restate earnings going back to 1999 to the tune of $30 million in unrecognized stock-compensation
costs. The company said it is continuing to cooperate fully with both the Department of Justice
and the Securities and Exchange Commission in their respective inquiries regarding the
company's historical stock-option practices. Shares were trading up $7.12, or 12.25%, to $65.24.
