On a constant currency basis, the company\u2019s revenue for the quarter rose 9.5% sequentially.<\/p>\n<p>Alcatel-Lucent\u2019s adjusted operating income for the quarter was 316 million euros. The company\u2019s gross margin for the quarter was 35.6%, compared with 36.3% reported in the third quarter of 2011. The sequential decline in gross margin was mainly due to geographical and product mix.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s net income for the quarter was 868 million euros.<\/p>\n<p>For full year 2011, Alcatel-Lucent reported revenue of 15.69 billion euros, up 1.9% from 2010. The company\u2019s adjusted gross profit for the full year was 5.64 billion euros, while adjusted operating income was 610 million euros.<\/p>\n<p>Net income for 2011 was 1.095 billion euros.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Verwaayen, CEO of Alcatel-Lucent, said that he is pleased by the responsiveness of the company to adapt to a changing business environment, which resulted in a significant improvement in free-cash-flow and an acceleration of cost-reduction actions.<\/p>\n<p>Verwaayen said that overall, 2011 was a second year of improvements in the company\u2019s results, and leads to the first positive full-year net results for the company since the merger. He added that the company has strengthened its financial flexibility with the Genesys divestment, while taking the strategic decision to realize the full value of its existing and future patent portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>Verwaayen said that the company\u2019s aim in 2012 is to achieve an adjusted operating margin higher than the level reached in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>More Posts by this author<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/linkedin-shares-surge-on-q4-results-lnkd\/20722\"><br \/>\nLinkedIn Shares Surge on Q4 Results (LNKD)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/gold-prices-edge-lower\/20721\"><br \/>\nGold Prices Edge Lower<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/alcatel-lucent-surges-on-q4-results-alu\/20688\"><br \/>\nAlcatel-Lucent Surges on Q4 Results (ALU)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/market-updates\/stocks-end-lower-on-greece-worries-weak-economic-data\/20687\"><br \/>\nStocks End Lower on Greece Worries, Weak Economic Data<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/market-updates\/stocks-headed-for-a-lower-finish-after-three-straight-days-of-gains\/20682\"><br \/>\nStocks Headed for a Lower Finish after Three Straight Days of Gains<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/gold-and-silver-prices-sharply-lower\/20677\"><br \/>\nGold and Silver Prices Sharply Lower<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/market-updates\/stocks-continue-to-slide-on-greek-debt-worries\/20676\"><br \/>\nStocks Continue to Slide on Greek Debt Worries<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<table style=\"border:none;margin:0;\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5.jpg\" alt=\"edliston\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" class=\"photo\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<div style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><b>Post Written By: Ed Liston <\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:10pt;\">\n<p>Ed Liston is a senior contributing editor at TheStockMarketWatch.com.
