[October 29, 2009] BRIEF: SureWest reports uptick in quarterly loss Tweet Oct 29, 2009 (The Sacramento Bee - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- SureWest Communications of Roseville reported a significantly higher quarterly loss today. The Roseville telecommunications company said its third quarter net loss increased to $211,000 from $101,000 a year earlier. Revenue fell to $59.5 million from $60.3 million, as increases in its broadband business were offset by a decline in telecommunications revenue. The company said the higher net loss was due mainly to higher depreciation costs. SureWest stock closed at $9.91, up 21 cents, on the Nasdaq market. The financial results were announced after the market closed. To see more of The Sacramento Bee, or to subscribe to the newspaper, go to http://www.sacbee.com/.
