GLENDALE, CALIF. (AP) - DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. says its second-quarter net income fell 63 percent, to a level below analysts’ expectations. Shares drop 7 percent in after-hours trading.
Net income in the three months to June 30 was $12.8 million, or 15 cents per share, compared with $34.1 million, or 40 cents per share, a year ago.
Revenue fell 25 percent from a year ago to $162.8 million.
Analysts polled by FactSet were looking for 25 cents per share of earnings on revenue of $185 million.
