02:45 ET<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nYahoo has said that a partnership with Microsoft is facing delays as it awaits improvements in technology.<\/p>\n
The internet company, which has also announced a 28% fall in profits, is using Microsoft’s search technology in a bid to improve advertising revenue.<\/p>\n
But Yahoo said the system was not yet paying off and that a further roll-out was on hold while changes were made.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Yahoo made profits of $223m (\u00a3137m) for the first three months of 2011, down from $310m last year.<\/p>\n
The quarterly earnings figure was ahead of analysts’ forecasts and sent Yahoo’s share price 3.5% higher in after-hours trading on Wall Street.<\/p>\n
‘On schedule’<\/span><\/p>\nThe mixed progress report from Yahoo comes two years into chief executive Carol Bartz’s attempts to revive growth at the company.<\/p>\n
She told reporters that revenue would not rise to levels that Yahoo experienced before it struck the deal with Microsoft until the end of the year.<\/p>\n
Her previous forecast was that revenues would pick up mid-2011.<\/p>\n
Yahoo said it was continuing to make progress on efforts to expand into the fast-growing mobile internet market, and to increase the amount of video advertising on the site.<\/p>\n
Net revenue, which excludes fees paid to partner websites, was $1.06bn in the first quarter, just higher than the $1.05bn average of analyst expectations but down 6% from the $1.13bn recorded a year earlier.<\/p>\n
Ms Bartz said: “Our turnaround is proceeding on schedule, and we are very confident Yahoo is heading in the right direction.”<\/p>\n
Steve Weinstein, analyst at Pacific Crest Securities, said there were clear signs of improvements at Yahoo.<\/p>\n
“The growth in their display business, when you peel everything back, continues to look good,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
