GeoEye Reports Third Quarter 2012 Earnings Results

(PRNewswire) — GeoEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEOY), a leading source of geospatial information and insight, announced today results for its fiscal third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2012.

"Third quarter revenue and operating results were in line with our expectations. As expected, on Oct. 31, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) notified us that they have decided to cancel our Service Level Agreement (SLA) part of the EnhancedView contract. Effective Dec. 1, 2012, we will no longer be providing imagery to the NGA," said Matt O'Connell, GeoEye's chief executive officer and president.

"We will continue to provide other services to the NGA under EnhancedView, including the Web delivery platform, secure operations and value-added production services," O'Connell continued. "We continue to move forward with our combination with DigitalGlobe. We expect to close the transaction late this year or in the first quarter of 2013."

When adjusted for transaction costs related to the combination with DigitalGlobe, net income available to common stockholders for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2012, was $12.0 million, or $0.53 per fully diluted share.
