DTS Reports Third Quarter 2010 Results
CALABASAS, Calif., Nov. 8, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DTS, Inc. (Nasdaq:DTSI) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.
For the third quarter of 2010, revenue increased 40% over the prior year to $21.0 million. Income from continuing operations increased 74% to $3.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2010. This compares to revenue of $15.1 million and income from continuing operations of $2.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, reported in the third quarter of 2009.
During the third quarter, the Company generated $8.4 million in cash from operating activities and closed the quarter with overall cash and investments of $84.5 million.
"Our third quarter financial performance positions us well to achieve our strong growth objectives in 2010," commented Jon Kirchner, Chairman and CEO of DTS, Inc. "We continued to see strength in the Blu-ray and automotive markets. We are encouraged by our continued progress in the network-connected device category. In our broadcast business, we announced a number of important partnerships, including an IPTV partnership with France Telecom/Orange. Our ongoing progress positively sets the stage for continued growth in 2011 and beyond.
"We expect revenues for fiscal year 2010 to be in the range of $82 to $85 million, GAAP operating margins in the upper 20's, and GAAP income from continuing operations in the range of $0.77 to $0.81 per diluted share. Beginning in the fourth quarter, we will add certain non-GAAP financial measures to our financial reporting discussions, including non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP income from continuing operations.
"For the fiscal year, non-GAAP income from continuing operations per share is expected to be in the range of $1.05 to $1.10, excluding stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and their related tax effects. We expect non-GAAP operating margins to be in the upper 30's, excluding stock-based compensation and amortization of intangibles. Looking ahead to 2011, we currently expect revenue growth to approach or exceed 20% and to see increasing leverage in our business with operating margins improving by another several points," concluded Kirchner.
Within the tables attached to this press release, the Company has included both GAAP and non-GAAP disclosures of its third quarter and year to date 2010 financial results, and its quarterly and full year financial results for 2008 and 2009 as they will be presented in future quarters. In addition, the Company has provided a reconciliation of its GAAP to non-GAAP expected 2010 financial results as discussed above.
