DTS Reports Third Quarter 2013 Financial Results
Network-Connected Markets Continue to Lead Growth
CALABASAS, Calif., Nov. 6, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DTS, Inc. (Nasdaq:DTSI) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.
"Our third quarter results reflect increasing penetration in the network-connected markets, which were up more than 100% year over year," said Jon Kirchner, chairman and CEO of DTS, Inc. "We continue to proactively position the business for future growth in a dynamic environment, and we are encouraged by the progress we are making in the connected television, mobile, PC and wireless audio categories. Our efforts are helping to lay the foundation for a transformative audio entertainment ecosystem. From our mobile Headphone:X technology, which is driving excitement among artists, labels, studios and product manufacturers, to Play-Fi, which is the only technology available that enables wireless audio in the home across Android, iOS and Windows, DTS is helping redefine the entertainment experience for today's connected consumer. As we enter the holiday period amidst some broader CE market weakness, we remain confident in our strategic direction and growth prospects as we look into 2014 and beyond."

The GAAP and non-GAAP reconciling items for the third quarters of 2013 and 2012 can be found in the "Non-GAAP Financial Metrics" schedule attached to this press release and on the investor relations portion of the Company's website at www.DTS.com.
Business Outlook
The Company expects 2013 revenue in the lower end of its previously-stated range of $130 to $136 million. Non-GAAP operating margin is expected to be in the low- to mid-20s and non-GAAP EPS in the range of $0.98 to $1.12 per diluted share based on a normalized 40% effective tax rate. Stock-based compensation expense is expected to be in the range of $0.38 to $0.41 per diluted share net of tax and amortization of intangibles is expected to be in the range of $0.32 to $0.35 per share net of tax in 2013. On a GAAP basis, the inclusion of the carrying value adjustments relating to the Phorus assets and liability noted above net to an increase in the Company's expected GAAP operating margin of approximately 2 percentage points and expected GAAP EPS of approximately $0.08 per diluted share. As a result, the Company expects a GAAP operating margin of approximately 5% to 8% and GAAP EPS in the range of $0.03 to $0.08 per diluted share.
The outlook is based on a number of assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable at the time of this press release. Information regarding potential risks that could cause the actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements is set forth below and in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Included within this press release are non-GAAP financial measures that supplement the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures adjust the Company's actual results prepared under GAAP to exclude charges and the related income tax effect for stock-based compensation, the amortization of intangible assets, and certain acquisition and integration-related charges. In addition, the Company's GAAP tax rate is currently subject to substantial variability caused by three-year cumulative pre-tax losses in the US, which require the Company to record a valuation allowance against all US Federal deferred tax benefits. Management believes that the Company's inability to utilize its US deferred tax benefits is temporary, and as a result, the appropriate measure for its effective tax rate, until such time as the valuation allowance issue is resolved, is to impute a normalized 40% effective tax rate on the pre-tax earnings of the Company. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP amounts for the periods presented herein are provided in schedules accompanying this release and should be considered together with the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These non-GAAP measures are not meant as a substitute for GAAP, but are included solely for informational and comparative purposes. The Company's management believes that this information can assist investors in evaluating the Company's operational trends, financial performance, and cash generating capacity. Management believes these non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate DTS' financial performance using some of the same measures as management. However, the non-GAAP financial measures should not be regarded as a replacement for or superior to corresponding, similarly captioned, GAAP measures.
