The Westlake Village-based online marketing company earned a profit of $22.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, on revenues of $160 million for the quarter ending Dec. 31. That is a 55 percent increase over the $14.2 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, on revenues of $116.7 million for the same period in 2005. For the full year, ValueClick reported a net profit of $63 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, on revenues of $545.6 million. That is also a 55 percent increase over the net income of $40.6 million, ore $0.45 per diluted share, on revenues of $304 million for fiscal year 2005.
