Interactive Data Corporation (IDC) reported fourth quarter 2009 EPS of 34 cents, just short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 35 cents per share.

Revenue

Revenue for the quarter was $194.1 million, remaining unchanged compared to the year-ago quarter. The fourth-quarter 2009 results were generally in line with the company’s expectations. As far as revenue is concerned, the contributions from acquisitions and the positive impact of foreign exchange offset a 3.4% decline in organic revenue.

The decline in organic revenue may be attributed to a record fourth-quarter 2008 revenue that was aided by more than $5.0 million in certain one-time sales, strong usage-related revenue and other items. This apart, the company witnessed softness in its active trader and real-time datafeed services. On the other hand, this softness was partially offset by sustained demand for our fixed income evaluations and reference data services.
