SEACHANGE INTERNATIONAL REPORTS

SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2016 RESULTS

• Large North American Satellite Operator Selects SeaChange

• Sequential Revenue Growth of 20%

• Substantial Growth in New Product Revenue over Q1 FY16

• Improved Product Margins Increased to 75%

ACTON, Mass. (Sept. 2, 2015) –SeaChange International, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEAC) today reported second quarter fiscal 2016 revenue of $27.9 million and U.S. GAAP loss from operations of $4.8 million, or $0.14 per basic share, compared to second quarter fiscal 2015 revenue of $29.8 million and U.S. GAAP operating loss of $5.2 million, or $0.15 per basic share. Excluding non-GAAP charges of $3.5 million, non-GAAP loss from operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $1.3 million, or $0.04 per basic share, compared to non-GAAP loss from operations of $2.8 million, or $0.08 per basic share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

For the first six months of fiscal 2016, the Company posted revenue of $51.0 million and a U.S. GAAP loss from operations of $14.2 million, compared to revenue of $54.2 million and U.S.GAAP loss from operations of $15.3 million in the same prior period. The Company posted a non-GAAP loss from operations for the first six months of fiscal 2016 of approximately $8.1 million, compared to a non-GAAP loss from operations of $10.0 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

“I’m greatly encouraged by our performance sequentially in the second quarter marked by our increased new software product revenues and improved margins,” said Jay Samit, Chief Executive Officer, SeaChange. “Notably, in the second quarter our Nucleus video gateway software was launched to subscribers in a third European country, marking three consecutive quarters of new market launches. In addition, we were awarded new contracts by one of our largest Nucleus customers, further expanding our gateway footprint to new markets.”

Samit continued, “SeaChange was also awarded a new contract with one of North America’s largest satellite television operators for our AssetFlow content management system, meaning we now provide software solutions to two of North America’s largest satellite operators. And we took an order from one of our largest telco advertising customers in North America to expand its capabilities. Further, we’ve made significant progress in building our reputation as a provider of highly strategic and rapidly deployable SaaS platforms for the media community. We continue to actively seek OTT opportunities, and have recently signed an agreement with a U.S. prepaid mobile service provider. In addition, through our Timeline platform, we are diversifying our customer base with new contracts in the second quarter outside of the broadcast newsroom.”

Anthony Dias, Chief Financial Officer, SeaChange, stated, “We’re pleased to report second quarter revenues at the top end of our guidance and sequential revenue growth of 20 percent, driven primarily by the growth of new product revenues, which accounted for 91 percent of all product revenues in the quarter. SeaChange also increased second quarter product margins to 75 percent versus 41 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2016. International sales accounted for 58 percent of total revenue in the second quarter compared to 49 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2016, growth that was driven by the delivery of Adrenalin software for the Canadian customer that we announced last quarter. Our results reflect successful market delivery of our new generation platforms, including customer upgrades from our prior generation back office solutions and our ability to shorten the implementation timing over successive customer deployments.”

Commenting on the Company’s outlook, Dias concluded, “In line with our original guidance, we expect our third quarter fiscal 2016 revenues to be in the range of $27 million to $29 million and non-GAAP operating loss to be between $0.10 and $0.04 per basic share. For full fiscal 2016, we continue to anticipate revenues to be in the range of $105 million to $115 million and non-GAAP operating loss to be in the range of $0.38 to $0.16 per basic share.”

SeaChange continues to maintain a strong balance sheet, ending the second quarter of fiscal 2016 with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $72.8 million and no debt outstanding. The sequential cash decrease was primarily driven by working capital needs for the second quarter.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

We define non-GAAP (loss) income from operations as U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) operating (loss) income plus stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, earn-outs and change in fair value of earn-outs, professional fees associated with acquisitions, divestitures, litigation and strategic alternatives and severance and other restructuring costs. We discuss non-GAAP (loss) income from operations in our quarterly earnings releases and certain other communications as we believe non-GAAP (loss) income from operations is an important measure that is not calculated according to U.S. GAAP. We use non-GAAP (loss) income from operations in internal forecasts and models when establishing internal operating budgets, supplementing the financial results and forecasts reported to our Board of Directors, determining a component of bonus compensation for executive officers and other key employees based on operating performance and evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in our operations. We believe that non-GAAP (loss) income from operations assists in providing an enhanced understanding of our underlying operational measures to manage the business, to evaluate performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals. We believe that these non-GAAP financial adjustments are useful to investors because they allow investors to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in our financial and operational decision-making.

Non-GAAP (loss) income from operations is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. We expect to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP (loss) income from operations financial adjustments described above, and investors should not infer from our presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.

In managing and reviewing our business performance, we exclude a number of items required by U.S. GAAP. Management believes that excluding these items is useful in understanding the trends and managing our operations. We provide these supplemental non-GAAP measures in order to assist the investment community to see SeaChange through the “eyes of management,” and therefore enhance the understanding of SeaChange’s operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, our reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:

Amortization of Intangible Assets. We incur amortization expense of intangible assets related to various acquisitions that have been made in recent years. These intangible assets are valued at the time of acquisition, are then amortized over a period of several years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the acquisition. We believe that exclusion of these expenses allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for both the Company’s newly-acquired and long-held businesses.

Stock-based Compensation Expense. We incur expenses related to stock-based compensation included in our U.S. GAAP presentation of cost of revenues and stock-based expenses. Although stock-based compensation is an expense we incur and is viewed as a form of compensation, the expense varies in amount from period to period, and is affected by market forces that are difficult to predict and are not within the control of management, such as the market price and volatility of our shares, risk-free interest rates and the expected term and forfeiture rates of the awards.

SeaChange Q2 FY16 Results/Page 9

Earn-outs and Change in Fair Value of Earn-outs. Earn-outs and the change in the fair value of earn-outs are considered by management to be non-recurring expenses to the former shareholders of the businesses we acquire. We also incur expenses due to changes in fair value related to contingent consideration that we believe would otherwise impair comparability among periods.

Professional Fees - Other. We have excluded the effect of legal and other professional fees associated with our acquisitions, divestitures, litigation and strategic alternatives because the amounts are largely considered to be significant non-operating expenses.

Severance and Other Restructuring. We incur charges due to the restructuring of our business, including severance charges and facility reductions resulting from our restructuring and streamlining efforts and any changes due to revised estimates, which we generally would not have otherwise incurred in the periods presented as part of our continuing operations.

The following table reconciles the Company’s U.S. GAAP (loss) income from operations to the Company’s non-GAAP (loss) income from operations:
