Barely a month after its acquisition by automation giant Siemens AG was announced, product lifecycle management software provider UGS yesterday reported strong fourth-quarter financial results, with a 76% increase in net income leading the numbers.

UGS, which expects the $3.5 billion acquisition by Siemens to close in the April/May timeframe, said that for the fourth quarter, ended Dec. 31, 2006, revenue grew to $353 million, up 8% compared with $327 million in the year-ago quarter. Net income jumped 76% to $23 million, from $13 million.

Full-year 2006 results, however, showed another annual loss for UGS. The company suffered a $10.3 million loss on a 6% gain in revenues to $1.2 billion. In 2005, UGS lost $10 million.
