Cisco Systems Inc CSCO-Q raised its full-year revenue and profit forecast amid easing supply chain hurdles and announced $600-million in severance and other charges related to a new restructuring, which could impact roughly 5 per cent of its work force.
Shares of the company rose nearly 5 per cent in extended trading on Wednesday.
The company said the restructuring plan will begin in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023.
“This is not about reducing our work force – in fact we will have roughly the same number of employees at the end of this fiscal year as we had when we started,” Cisco said, adding it would focus its resources on its enterprise networking and security businesses.
The restructuring comes at a time when most companies including Amazon.com Inc and Facebook’s parent Meta Platforms Inc are making deep cuts to their employee base to navigate a potential downturn in the economy.
Cisco said it would book the charges over the next few quarters, which included some costs related to downsizing its office space as more people work in a hybrid home-and-office model.
The company will talk to its employees on Thursday about the restructuring plan, Chief Executive Chuck Robbins said in a post-earnings call.
Cisco’s revenue was $13.63-billion in the first quarter, above analysts’ estimates of $13.31-billion, according to Refinitiv data.
Easing supply chain snags and Cisco’s recent investments in cloud offerings and targeted price hikes have helped the company improve its business and attract customers amid an economic slowdown.
Cisco said it expects an annual revenue growth of 4.5 per cent to 6.5 per cent, and adjusted earnings between $3.51 and $3.58. It previously forecast revenue growth of 4 per cent to 6 per cent for the year and earnings of $3.49 to $3.56, excluding items.
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
