"We're taking advantage of the soft business environment to accelerate some of our restructuring plans, which will result in additional cost savings going forward," said Barnholt.

, such as core new product development programs."

Regarding its performance in the second half of fiscal 2001, the company said that several factors make it likely that revenue in the third quarter would be lower than in Q2: the extremely uncertain business climate, the steep order decline in the second quarter and the fact that the company shipped a substantial portion of its backlog Backlog

 during Q2. The company currently expects third-quarter revenue to be as low as $2 billion. While it is very difficult to predict revenue, and volume has a very significant impact on earnings, Agilent expects to report a third-quarter loss, on an earnings before goodwill basis, of between 20 and 30 cents per share -- including about 5 cents per share for restructuring.

"While accurate predictions are extremely difficult, we feel we are at or near bottom and may see an improvement in orders later in the second half," said Barnholt. "We are continuing to work aggressively on short-term expense controls and cost reductions. We hope to return to modest profitability in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, which ends Oct. 31, depending on the rate of order improvement."
