Linux operating system and open source middleware vendor Red Hat Thursday reported more than 30% growth in its total revenue and its critical subscription revenue for its fiscal year 2008.
Red Hat’s fiscal year, which ended Feb. 29, was highlighted by total revenue of $523 million, an increase of 31% over revenue posted in fiscal 2007. Its subscription revenue, which is amassed from support licenses, was $449.8 million, a 32% increase over 2007. Net income for the fiscal year was up 28%, from $59.9 million to $76.7 million.
Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst, who joined the company in January, said his priorities in fiscal year 2009 would be continued penetration into the corporate data center using Red Hat middleware and the Linux operating system. He said the company would invest in staffing, technology development and partner recruitment.
The company’s earnings report showed spending on research and development in 2008 was up 37% over 2007, from $71 million to 97.4 million.
Whitehurst said on the earnings call that Red Hat is well positioned despite current economic woes because the company helps drive costs out of IT infrastructure.
The fiscal fourth quarter was Whitehurst’s first quarter as Red Hat CEO. He told Network World in January that 90% of his job would focus on execution of Red Hat’s established core Linux and data center platform strategies.
Thursday, the company reported strong business growth around JBoss but did not provide numbers to define the progress. Last year, Wall Street was critical of Red Hat’s growth with its JBoss business, which anchors its new middleware strategy.
Whitehurst said in January his plan is to take Red Hat from a company that posted less than $500 million in revenue in 2007 to a billion-dollar revenue peak by 2011.
For the fiscal fourth quarter, which also ended Feb. 29, total revenue was up 27% over the same quarter a year ago to $141.5 million.
The earnings aligned nearly perfectly with expectations of analysts polled by Thomson Financial, who projected revenue of $141.1 million.
