ROXIO BEATS FOURTH QUARTER ESTIMATES AND PLANS FOR
SUBSTANTIAL GROWTH FROM NAPSTER IN FISCAL 2005
Napster and Dixons Group Sign Multi-Year Agreement to Support Napster’s
Planned Summer Launch in the UK
SANTA CLARA, Calif. –May 5, 2004 - Roxio, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROXI), The Digital Media Company® and the parent company of Napster®, today reported financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and year ended March 31, 2004. Separately, Napster today announced that it has signed a multi-year marketing partnership with Dixons Group plc, the largest electronics retailer in the United Kingdom. Under terms of the agreement, Napster will be promoted as the only on-line music service available at the Dixons Group, which encompasses 1,100 Dixons, PC World, The Link and Currys storefronts.
Roxio’s net revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 were $33.6 million, compared to $33.8 million in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year. Roxio’s reported net loss for
the fourth quarter was $6.6 million, or $0.20 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $2.3 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year. Shares used for computing basic and fully diluted earnings per share were approximately 32.7 million for the fourth fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004. Shares used for computing basic and fully diluted earnings per share were approximately 19.5 million and 19.8 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Net revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 was $99.3 million, as compared to net revenue of $120.4 million for fiscal 2003. Roxio’s net loss for fiscal 2004 was $44.4 million, or $1.62 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $9.9 million, or $0.51 per basic and diluted share, in fiscal 2003.
For the fourth quarter, Roxio’s digital media software division recorded revenues of $27.5 million and a pretax income of $4.8 million, including restructuring charges of $2.9 million. Revenues for the company’s online music division totaled $6.1 million, and pretax loss was $9.8 million. Combined pretax loss for the two divisions was approximately $5.0 million.
“Roxio posted a strong finish to fiscal 2004, with fourth quarter results that surpassed our expectations for both our software and Napster divisions, as well as better than anticipated expense management and a cash and short-term investments position of $67.1 million at the end of March,” said Chris Gorog, Roxio’s Chairman and CEO. “We have returned the software division to profitability and are very pleased with the strong debut of Roxio Easy Media Creator 7, which has earned multiple Editor’s Choice awards and continues as the frontrunner in the digital media suite category. Napster continues to lead the Windows-only music download market and we are very pleased to be moving forward with Napster’s international expansion with world-class partners like Dixons Group. Napster’s improving results are expected to help propel Roxio to significant year-over-year revenue growth in fiscal 2005.”
Business Outlook
For the first quarter of fiscal 2005, Roxio expects total revenues of approximately $28 million, with roughly $21 million from the software division and $7 million from Napster. Net loss per share for the quarter is expected to be approximately $0.26.
For the fiscal year, the software division is expected to generate revenues in the range of $75 million to $80 million and continued positive operating margins, reflecting continued growth in retail revenues offset by the anticipated decrease in OEM revenues. Expenses related to Napster are expected to decrease as a percentage of sales over the next several quarters, and Napster is expected to deliver double-digit sequential revenue growth throughout fiscal 2005, resulting in a revenue contribution of $30 million to $40 million.
