For its fiscal year, Microsoft revenue increased 18 percent year over year to $60.42 billion. Operating income grew 21 percent to $22.49 billion; earnings per share grew 32 percent to $1.87.

In April, Microsoft forecast fourth-quarter revenue in the $15.5 billion to $15.8 billion range, with operating income between $5.8 billion to $6.2 billion, or 45 cents to 48 cents per share.

Microsoft had forecast for fiscal 2008: Revenue in the $60.1 billion to $60.3 billion range, with operating income ranging from $22.6 billion to $23 billion, or $1.87 to $1.90 per share. The forecast was an adjustment from six months earlier. In January, Microsoft projected revenue in the $59.9 billion to $60.5 billion range, operating income between $24.2 billion and $24.4 billion, and $1.85 to $1.88 earnings per share.

While Microsoft posted strong year-over-year growth in revenue and earnings, earnings per share came in at the low end of guidance. During a conference call this afternoon, Microsoft CFO Chris Liddell expressed disappointment about earnings per share, which he partly attributed to weak economic conditions and uncertainty about the failed Yahoo acquisition.
