Kansas City, Mo. ? Sprint Corp. on Wednesday reported higher second-quarter earnings driven by strong wireless sales.

The Overland Park-based company, which combined its PCS and FON tracking stocks in April, also increased its earnings guidance for the year.

“Sprint continues to successfully execute its transformation agenda,” said Gary Forsee, Sprint chairman and CEO, in a statement. “We achieved revenue growth in the second quarter that will likely lead other integrated telecom players.”

For the April through June period, Sprint reported earnings of $233 million, or 16 cents per share, compared to $7 million during the quarter last year.

The earnings included one-time charges for layoffs and a final payment in a bankruptcy settlement with MCI.

Without the charges, earnings were $300 million, or 20 cents per share, compared with $238 million, or 17 cents per share, last year. Analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call had expected earnings of 19 cents per share.
