In results after the bell, Cisco said earnings increased, but
revenue declined amid the CVID-19 pandemic. Jack in the Box saw its
profit halved amid social-distancing measures and SmileDirectClub
Inc. posted wider first-quarter losses.
In earnings reported in the morning session, the Covid-19
pandemic divided the earnings winners and losers based on how
reliant each company is on in-person contact.
Here is a rundown of the latest corporate earnings:
Cisco Systems Inc. showed stronger-than-expected resilience in
its earnings Wednesday, but the tech giant's sales are declining
amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The company said third-quarter revenue
declined 8% to $12 billion.
Jack in the Box Inc. reported a 54% decline in profit for its
latest quarter, as sales fell due to social-distancing measures
meant to combat the new coronavirus. Jack said same-store sales
across its company and franchisee-run locations fell 4.2% for its
fiscal second quarter that ended April 12.
SmileDirectClub Inc. posted wider first-quarter losses due to
higher expenses as the coronavirus pandemic has helped shift the
company's operations toward teledentistry and its completely remote
kit business to continue serving customers.
1Life Healthcare Inc., called One Medical, raised its guidance
for its ending membership count for 2020 by 5,000, but also said
the Covid-19 pandemic has hurt the company's ability to bring in
revenue. One Medical said it had a loss of $33.9 million, or 40
cents a share.
Earnings reported earlier Wednesday:

pandemic restrictions lowered sales at its McDonald's Corp.
franchises in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings PLC sold 578 vehicles in
its first quarter, down from 1,057 a year ago. This prompted the
U.K. luxury car maker to report a wider pretax loss for the quarter
as revenue fell.
CP ALL PCL, which operates 7-Eleven stores in Thailand, saw its
first-quarter net profit fall 2.2% compared with the same period a
year earlier. The Thai conglomerate said the pandemic hurt its
businesses and the impact was accentuated in March by the

OneSpaWorld Holdings Ltd., which provides health and wellness
products on cruises and at resorts, reported a larger loss in the
first quarter as many of the cruise lines and resorts the company
serves shut down during the pandemic.
However, Tencent Holdings Ltd. saw its first-quarter net profit
rise 6.2% on year, thanks to strong growth in the Chinese internet
company's gaming and online-advertising revenue.
E-commerce company Jumia Technologies AG didn't fare as well.
The German company, which focuses on African countries, said
revenue slipped in its first quarter as sellers using its platform
struggled to procure some items amid the pandemic.
