Rackspace Reports Record Q2 Earnings!: Total Revenues, Net Income, EPS Up
Rackspace Summary Q1 2011 Revenues continue increasing and operating income and net income kept pace this quarter to all reach record highs. Financial performance is outstanding. Cash flow per share from operations continues strong. Overall financial position is good, but working capital is negative again. This is a liquidity issue not a profitability issue.
Rackspace Income Statement Q2 2011 Rackspace reported record total revenues of $247.23M, record net income of $17.56M, and record earnings per share of $0.13. From the prior quarter Q1 2011, total revenues were up +7%, net income up +27%, and earnings per share yo +30%. From the prior year quarter Q2 2010, these were up an impressive +32%, +57%, and +63%, respectively. Gross, operating, and net margins increased to 70.05%, 11.59%, and 7.10%, respectively. Cash flow from operations dipped to $0.60 per share mostly due to a large increase in Account Receivable. The Operating Expense Ratio (operating expenses divided by total revenues) of 58.46% is within the historical range.
Rackspace Balance Sheet Q2 2011 Rackspace's total assets increased +6.75% QoQ to a record $887.58M from the prior quarter of $831.41M. The capital to assets ratio (total stockholders' equity divided by total assets) is a respectable 57.67% and about the same for the past 3 quarters. The current ratio (current assets divided by total assets) is an illiquid 25.16% and lack of working capital has been a problem for Rackspace the past 3 quarters. Current working capital (current assets less current liabilities) is a negative -3.53M and was negative in the prior quarter Q4 2010 (-3.70M). Rackspace continues with low working capital. This is a liquidity issue, not a profitability issue. The return on assets is low for a technology company, but has consistently grown to the current peak of +7.16%

Rackspace Earnings Per Share Below is a chart of quarterly earnings per share. Current Earnings per Share of $0.13 is a very strong +30% QoQ and amazing +63% YoY. EPS has been flat twice, but never decreased since Q3 2009 on the chart below.

Current Cash Flow per Share of $0.60 is strong and almost double the Q3 2009 of $0.33, the beginning of the chart. Cash Flow did drop from the prior Q2 2011, but this was mostly the result of a large increase in Accounts Receivable.
Rackspace Total Revenues, Operating Income, and Net Income Below is a chart of quarterly total revenues, operating income, and net income.

Current Net Margin of 7.10% is historically very strong and is a multi-year, if not all-time, high.
Rackspace Return on Assets Below is a chart of annual return on average assets per quarter. The total net income for the most recent 4 quarters is divided into average assets for the most recent 4 quarters to obtain a rolling annualized ROA, an annualized return on average assets for the 12 months (4 quarters) ended. Rackspace has a historically low ROA for a technology company, but the ROA is consistently increasing QoQ. Current Return on Assets of +7.16% continues the uptrend QoQ, which indicates assets are being more effectively deployed.
Rackspace Growth Rates Below is a chart of the quarterly (QoQ, Q/Q, quarterly change) growth rates for revenues and earnings per share. Total Revenues Growth QoQ of +7.49% continue the consistency of being above 7% growth for 3 consecutive quarters and have increased in every quarter on the chart, for 7 quarters, ranging from +4.38% to +7.52%. Earnings per Share Growth QoQ of +30% is a multi-quarter high and have not declined in the past 7 quarters, but have been flat twice (0.00% in Q1 2010 and Q1 2011). For the other 4 quarters, EPS growth has exceeded +10% and ranged from +11.11% to +30.00%.
Rackspace Revenue Sources Below is a chart of revenue sources as a percentage of total revenues. The trend is a decrease in Managed Hosting (now 83%) offset by an increase in Cloud (now 17%).
Rackspace Working Capital Below is a chart of working capital (current assets less current liabilities). Current Negative Working Capital of -$3.53 million is a drop from the the Positive Working Capital of prior Q1 2011 of $3.898 million. Rackspace also had Negative Working Capital at Q4 2010 of -$3.697 million. This is a result mostly of a larger increase in Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses plus Current Portions of Obligations Under Capital Leases than the increase in Accounts Receivable and other current assets. This is a liquidity issue not a profitability issue.
