CA Technologies reported unaudited consolidated earnings results for the third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2013.

Cash flow from operations in the third quarter was $429 million, compared with $566 million in the prior year. The decrease year-over-year was due to a decrease in cash collections and a number of expected factors including higher cash taxes, payments related to the rebalancing actions announced on May 7, 2013 and a reduction in capitalized software development costs, offset by lower cash disbursements. Purchases of property and equipment were $17 million against $9 million of prior year period. Income before income taxes was $319 million against $358 million of prior year period. Non-GAAP income was $379 million or $0.84 Non-GAAP diluted EPS against Non-GAAP income of $286 million or $0.63 Non-GAAP diluted EPS of prior year period.

For the nine months, the company reported net income of $807 million or $1.78 diluted income per share on total revenue of $3,431 million compared to net income of $713 million or $1.53 diluted income per share on total revenue of $3,492 million for the comparable period last year.

The company revised earnings guidance for the full year ending March 31, 2014. For the year, the company expects the following: Total revenue to decrease in a range of minus 2% to minus 1% in constant currency. Previous guidance was a decrease of minus 3% to minus 2%. At December 31, 2013 exchange rates, this translates to reported revenue of $4.52 billion to $4.57 billion; GAAP diluted earnings per share to range from minus 3% to 0% in constant currency. Previous guidance was a decrease of minus 7% to minus 4%. At December 31, 2013 exchange rates, this translates to reported GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.01 to $2.08; Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to increase in a range of 21% to 24% in constant currency. Previous guidance was an increase of 17% to 20%. At December 31, 2013 exchange rates, this translates to reported non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $3.05 to $3.12; Cash flow from operations to decrease in a range of minus 30% to minus 24% in constant currency, unchanged from previous guidance. At December 31, 2013 exchange rates, this translates to reported cash flow from operations of $960 million to $1.04 billion. Outlook for cash flow from operations is being negatively affected by costs associated with the rebalancing of resources during the fiscal year, an increase in cash taxes, and an increase in operating cash outflows relating to product development and enhancements expenses for fiscal year 2014. The company expects a fiscal year 2014 GAAP and non-GAAP effective tax rate of approximately 14%.
