First Call consensus expected the network software developer to earn 10 cents a share in the quarter.
The $315.6m in sales represents a 20 percent improvement versus the year-ago quarter when it earned $19.3m, or 5 cents a share, on sales of $262.2m.
"Novell is on its way to becoming a growth company again," said CEO Eric Schmidt in a prepared release. "We had planned for growth, but the market's response to NetWare 5 has exceeded our plans."
