Brooks Automation (BRKS) guides lower: biz.yahoo.com Brooks Automation Inc. (NasdaqNM:BRKS-news), reported its second-quarter profit before items beat estimates, as the semiconductor equipment maker warned of that the June quarter revenues would be down from the second quarter. The company said net income before acquisition-related charges and amortization, was $7.2 million or 40 cents per share on an increased number of shares outstanding, compared with $6.4 million or 42 cents per diluted share, a year earlier. Wall Street analysts polled by Thomson Financial/First Call had expected earnings of 21 cents to 47 cents per share, with a consensus of 38 cents per share. Second quarter sales rose 37 percent to $108 million from $79.5 million a year earlier. But Brooks forecast declining revenues and profits for the second half of financial year 2001. The company sees June quarter revenues down 15 percent from second-quarter and forecast earnings in the low 20 cents per share range for the next two quarters. Analysts had estimated 24 cents per share in the third quarter and 19 cents per share in the fourth quarter, according to Thomson Financial/First Call.
