Cinedigm Announces First Quarter Fiscal Year 2013 Financial Results
• Consolidated revenues up 15.9% year-over-year to $20.9 million • Successful integration and early outperformance of the New Video acquisition |
Los Angeles, CA, August 14, 2012 – Cinedigm Digital Cinema Corp. (NASDAQ: CIDM), the global leader in the digital cinema industry, today announced financial results for the first quarter fiscal 2013 ended June 30, 2012.
Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were $20.9 million, a 15.9% increase from $18.0 million in the first quarter a year ago. The increase in revenues was primarily the result of the New Video acquisition, with non-deployment revenues almost doubling year-over-year to $6.9 million from $3.5 million, as well as growth in the digital cinema software and servicing units. This increase was partially offset by an expected year-over-year decline in the Company's deployment business virtual print fee revenues due to shifting movie release timing. Pro forma non-deployment revenues, including New Video in both periods and intersegment deployment service fees, increased by 5.6% year-over-year.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, Adjusted EBITDA (1) from continuing operations totaled $13.5 million, consistent with $13.6 million in the year-ago period. Excluding the Company’s deployment business, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $0.8 million, unchanged from the same period a year ago. Increased performance of the digital cinema service unit was partially offset by timing delays in new software sales, software revenue recognition and shifting movie release timing in our content unit. As a result of the New Video acquisition, this was also the first quarter in which acquisition and marketing costs associated with movie releases were recorded in advance of recognizing the corresponding distribution revenues expected in subsequent quarters. The total Adjusted EBITDA impact from release expenses in the quarter was approximately ($0.3) million.
Net loss from continuing operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $4.9 million, or $0.11 per share. The first quarter 2013 was impacted by transaction and transition costs associated with the New Video acquisition, including approximately $1.3 million in one-time M&A expenses. Excluding the M&A expenses, net loss from continuing operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $3.6 million, or $0.08 per share. This compares to a net loss from continuing operations of $4.0 million, or $0.12 per share in the comparable prior year period.
During the quarter, the Company released the high profile documentary, The Invisible War, to glowing reviews and significant awareness from the mainstream media to the floors of Congress. The Company also released the mixed martial arts documentary, Like Water, based on the life of UFC champion Anderson Silva. Based on pre-sales of ancillary distribution rights and early release results, the Company expects both releases to be profitable.
“As we have discussed in the past, fiscal year 2013 will be a year of both investment and growth, which was demonstrated in our fiscal first quarter,” said Chris McGurk, Cinedigm’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We are extremely pleased with the integration and performance of New Video and believe this strategic and accretive acquisition positions Cinedigm well to deliver growth in the content
distribution business. As always, we remain focused on profitably growing the entire business and making additional strategic investments to drive shareholder returns in fiscal year 2013 and beyond.”
“We are pleased with our solid double-digit consolidated revenue growth this quarter and we are excited by the very rapid growth in our high margin digital home entertainment distribution revenues,” said Adam Mizel, the Company's Chief Operating Officer and CFO. “We continue to complete Phase 2 deployments as we installed 644 systems in the quarter. As of June 30 we had 660 screens in our backlog to be installed and a busy new sales pipeline. We believe there is a good possibility that the installation deadline will be extended to the end of the calendar year. Although the quarterly timing of software deployments and revenue recognition are somewhat unpredictable, we completed one of our three externally delayed software projects this quarter and our sales pipeline remains robust. Our solid operational performance has enabled us to continue to strengthen our balance sheet by improving our liquidity and reducing our non-recourse debt by in excess of $14.0 million during the quarter.”
Fiscal 2013 Outlook
The Company is reaffirming its fiscal 2013 guidance and expects consolidated GAAP revenues including its deployment units of $91-$97 million, and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $57-$59 million in Fiscal 2013.
The Company is also reaffirming that it expects Fiscal 2013 Adjusted EBITDA from non-deployment operations of $11.2-$12.7 million, prior to the $4.5-$5.0 million of GAAP expense impact from 8-10 movie acquisitions and additional library acquisitions. Net of the GAAP expense impact, the Company expects to produce reported Adjusted EBITDA from non-deployment operations for Fiscal 2013 of $6.7-$7.7 million. The Company expects its portfolio of movie distribution rights to produce a strong and accretive return on investment (ROI).
(1) Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company for the periods presented to be earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, other income, net, stock-based expenses and compensation, merger and acquisition costs, and certain other items. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation in the tables attached to this release of Adjusted EBITDA to U.S. GAAP net income (loss). The Company calculated and communicated Adjusted EBITDA in the tables because the Company's management believes it is of importance to investors and lenders by providing additional information with respect to the performance of its fundamental business activities. The Company's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may or may not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other companies in the same industry. Investors should not view Adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to the U.S. GAAP operating measure of net income (loss). In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. Management does not intend the presentation of these non-GAAP measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should be read only in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
