Amazon Q2 revenues slow, losses narrow

Jul 23 2001 16:19PM

SEATTLE, July 23 (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc. on
Monday posted a smaller quarterly pro forma loss that beat Wall
Street expectations as the online retail giant became more
efficient but saw revenue growth slow.
The Seattle-based company said its pro forma operating loss
-- which includes net interest expense -- was $58 million, or
16 cents a share, compared to $116 million, or 33 cents a share
a year earlier.
Revenues in the quarter, which ended June 30, rose 16
percent to $668 million, up from $578 million a year ago, but
were down from the previous quarter's $700 million.
Amazon was expected to lose between 20 and 27 cents a share
on sales of between $675 million and $685 million, according to
analysts polled by Thomson Financial/First Call. The consensus
loss estimate was for 22 cents a share.

Hmmmmmmm....does this bust up your and Glenn's little bet? Seems to me $100 million might buy them one more quarter.

It does. Too bad. It has to be the Kleiner Perking connection in my opinion. AOL really had no need for Amazon. AOL had about as much need as they did for Netscape some time back. I do believe Amazon will need another $100 million for Q1 2002.
