By boston.internet.com StaffProdded by poor second quarter results, NetGenesis (NASDAQ:NTGX) will lay off 43 employees, or 19 percent of its staff as the economic downturn continues to take its toll.
For the three month period, the Cambridge, Mass., customer relationship management software maker, reported pro forma net loss of $9.4 million, or 44 cents per share, compared to a loss of $5 million, or 25 cents per share for the year-ago period.
Including restructuring charges, net loss of $12.6 million, or 60 cents per diluted share for the second quarter.
"As we now anticipate a slower market recovery than previously expected, we are more closely aligning our resources to our needs," said Larry Bohn, NetGenesis' president and CEO. "The decision to reduce the size of our staff was a difficult but necessary."
Despite the dismal results this year, Bohn maintained that the company has "the resources necessary to weather the current slowdown."
NetGenesis customers include British Telecommunications, Charles Schwab, Fidelity Investments, General Electric, Sun Microsystems, Time and Verizon.
