Net income for their second quarter ended Dec. 31 amounted to US$258.5 million, up 192.7 per cent, representing earnings of 96 cents US per diluted share, up from 32 cents a year earlier. 

That net income figure included $172 million of pre-tax unrealized gains related to its acquisition of U.K. software giant Micro Focus. 

The Waterloo, Ont.-based company says year-to-date revenues are up four per cent.

The company announced earlier this week it had closed its acquisition of Micro Focus for almost US$6 billion. 

At the same time, it announced layoffs of around eight per cent of the workforce due to the acquisition.
