Cisco Systems Inc. posted third-quarter revenue below analysts' expectations.
The networking-equipment giant posted net income of $3.04 billion, or 73 cents a share, for the quarter ended April 30 compared with net income of $2.86 billion, or 68 cents a share, in the year-ago period. Adjusted earnings a share were 87 cents, above analysts' expectations of 86 cents.
Revenue ticked up to $12.84 billion from $12.8 billion. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $13.37 billion.
The company said it expects revenue in the fourth quarter to decline between 1% and 5.5% year-over-year.
Chief Executive Chuck Robbins said in prepared remarks that the company continues to see solid demand but noted that Covid-19 lockdowns in China and the war in Ukraine impacted revenue in the quarter.
