- Red Hat released the beta version of the Red Hat Developer Studio, an integrated Eclipse-based set of open source development tools and runtime environment.
Red Hat released JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.2, an enterprise-ready platform on which to migrate legacy applications to an open source architecture.
We are pleased to report another solid quarter of strong revenues. I am particularly pleased with the steady improvement in operating margin and operating cash flow. These performance improvements come at a time when we are continuing to invest heavily in our processes and systems as we scale globally,
stated Charlie Peters, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Red Hat. We continue to see robust demand for our open source solutions and are encouraged by our market position.
In addition, Red Hat today announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the continuation of the Company's stock and debenture repurchase program. Under the program, the Company is authorized to repurchase in aggregate up to $250 million of the Company's common stock and in aggregate up to $75 million of the Company's 0.5% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2024.
Repurchases of common stock and debentures may be effected, from time to time, either on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, as applicable. The timing and the amount of any repurchases of common stock and debentures will be determined by the Company's management based on an evaluation of market conditions and other factors. Repurchased common stock will be available for use in connection with the Company's equity compensation plans and for other corporate purposes. Repurchased debentures will be retired and canceled. The repurchase program will be funded using the Company's working capital and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
