From CBSMarketwatch.. pay attention to the last sentence. Exodus (EXDS: news, msgs) said second-quarter revenue rose 34 percent from the previous quarter to $179.6 million. That's faster quarter-over-quarter growth than the first quarter. Exodus also reported $8.6 million in EBITDA profit, or earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges. This compares to $1.7 million in the prior quarter. Shares of Exodus rose to 55 in after hours Instinet trading, after closing down 9/16 to 50 13/16 in regular trading. "Even more surprising was that the new bookings number grew 39 percent to $245 million," said David Levy, an analyst at Chase H&Q. "This was extraordinary, and the likelihood of increasing our top-line estimates is pretty high."

Auric's a loser, he didn't post the HUGE increase in revenue, EBDITA positive growth, customer base growth, revenue per customer growth etc. Awesome metrics. Avg. IDC customer at $259k per quarter! # customers now 3,333! Hey, the math can't get much easier to do than that! The $877 million dollar annualized run rate is nothing short of AWESOME. Within the next twelve months all that revenue will be funding EXDS ongoing operations, putting us in positive EPS position. Keep up the good work Ellen!! I still say we've got a shot at the $1 billion year next year. It's in the bag with metrics like this.
