The company reported net income of $50.9 million, or 33 cents a share, for the quarter that ended Oct. 3, which was down from 59 cents a share in the same quarter a year ago.
Revenue fell 3 percent from a year ago but was up sequentially at $4.36 billion.
"While the impact of the global economic slowdown remained evident in our year-over-year revenue decline, our better than expected sequential growth rates provides additional confidence that the business environment is improving," said Chief Executive Roy Vallee.
For the current quarter the firm forecast earnings of 52 to 60 cents a share and revenue of $4.10 billion to $4.7 billion.
