RealD Inc. Reports Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2014 Financial Results

LOS ANGELES (November 12, 2013) - RealD Inc. (NYSE: RLD), a leading global licensor of 3D and other visual technologies, today announced financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2014 ended September 30, 2013.

“As fiscal 2014 progresses, we continue to optimize RealD’s financial performance and position our company for the future,” said Michael V. Lewis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of RealD.  “The success of Gravity demonstrates that RealD’s platform can deliver strong results when the combination of a high-quality 3D film, effective 3D marketing and optimum screen availability come together.  At the same time, we are focusing on the expansion of our platform in faster growing emerging markets. With this in mind, we were pleased to announce new contract wins that collectively provide for 250 screens in two of the fastest growing cinema markets — China and Russia.”

“Importantly, the second fiscal quarter also marked a return to positive free cash flow,” Mr. Lewis added. “Our recently reduced operating expense structure, coupled with reduced theatrical installs beginning in our fourth fiscal quarter should further support this important metric going forward.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2014 Financial Highlights

·Total revenue was $43.9 million, comprised of license revenue of $31.0 million and product and other revenue of $12.9 million.   For the second quarter of fiscal 2013, total revenue was $55.0 million, comprised of license revenue of $35.0 million and product and other revenue of $20.0 million.

·GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders was $4.7 million, or $0.09 per share, compared to GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders of $4.2 million, or $0.08 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

·Adjusted EBITDA was $13.7 million, compared to $12.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

·As previously announced, RealD has modified its definition of Adjusted EBITDA for financial reporting purposes to align with the Adjusted EBITDA definition under RealD’s credit facility.  As a result, the prior year calculation of Adjusted EBITDA was revised to conform with RealD’s new definition of Adjusted EBITDA.

·Adjusted EBITDA is defined within the section of this press release entitled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” which includes a reconciliation to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss).

Six-Month Fiscal 2014 Financial Highlights

·Total revenue was $103.1 million, comprised of license revenue of $68.3 million and product and other revenue of $34.8 million.   For the six months ended September 21, 2012, total revenue was $123.2 million, comprised of license revenue of $76.2 million and product and other revenue of $47.0 million.

·GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders was $6.2 million, or $0.13 per share, compared to GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1.2 million, or $0.02 per share, for the six months ended September 21, 2012.

·Adjusted EBITDA was $29.7 million, compared to $34.2 million for the six months ended September 21, 2012.

Cash Flows, Stock Repurchases and Balance Sheet Highlights

·For the six months ended September 30, 2013, cash flows from operating activities were $8.0 million and total capital expenditures were $16.4 million, resulting in negative free cash flow of $8.4 million.  The Company expects that its future cash flows will vary considerably from quarter to quarter, due to box office seasonality, among other factors.

·Free cash flow is defined within the section of this press release entitled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” which includes a reconciliation to its most comparable GAAP measure, net cash provided by operating activities.

·During the quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 672,000 common shares for $7.5 million, representing an average cost of $11.18 per share.

·As of September 30, 2013, $7.0 million remained available under RealD’s $75.0 million stock repurchase authorization.

·As of September 30, 2013, cash and cash equivalents were $34.2 million and total debt was $65.0 million.

Key Metrics

·Estimated box office generated on RealD-enabled screens(1) for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 was $582 million ($253 million domestic, $329 million international).   In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, estimated box office generated on RealD-enabled screens was $709 million ($286 million domestic, $423 million international).

·11 3D films were released in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to nine 3D films in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.  These figures reflect the number of 3D films released domestically during the periods.

·International markets generated 61% of license revenue and 29% of product and other revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

·As of September 30, 2013, RealD had deployed approximately 24,200 RealD-enabled screens, an increase of 13% from approximately 21,500 screens as of September 21, 2012, and an increase of 700 screens (200 domestic, 500 international), or 3%, from approximately 23,500 screens as of June 30, 2013.

·As of September 30, 2013, RealD had approximately 13,300 domestic screens at approximately 3,000 domestic theater locations and approximately 10,900 international screens at approximately 2,900 international theater locations.

(1)Estimated domestic box office on RealD-enabled screens represents the estimated 3D box office generated on RealD-enabled domestic screens. Estimated international box office on RealD-enabled international screens is the estimated 3D box office generated on RealD-enabled international screens.  RealD’s estimates of box office on RealD-enabled screens rely on box office tracking data.  International box office reflects RealD’s estimates of international box office generated on RealD-enabled screens in 19 foreign countries where box office tracking is available.  RealD estimates these countries represent approximately 85% of RealD’s international license revenues.

Subsequent Events

Cost reduction plan

RealD recently implemented a plan to reduce its overall cost structure while continuing to make significant research and development investments and build the framework for future growth.  As part of the cost reduction plan, RealD reduced headcount by approximately 20%, which is expected to result in estimated one-time termination charges of approximately $4.4 million to $4.9 million.  This effort also included re-scoping and other changes to certain R&D projects, reducing general and administrative expenses and streamlining certain manufacturing operations.

Further, RealD expects to incur approximately $0.5 million to $0.9 million in other one-time charges principally related to the accrual of losses for a lease for certain manufacturing facilities that will no longer be used in RealD’s operations.  Collectively, the bulk of the one-time charges will be incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and, to a lesser degree, in calendar 2014.

Actions on the aforementioned cost-reduction plan have been initiated as of November 2013 and are expected to be completed by the beginning of fiscal year 2015.

As a result of these actions, RealD anticipates annual cost savings of approximately $15.0 million, which includes $6.7 million in salaries and benefits, $2.8 million in stock-based compensation, $1.4 million of rent expense and an additional $4.1 million in other discretionary expenses.

Credit Agreement Repayments

On October 16, 2013, RealD repaid $5.0 million of its Credit Agreement and on October 23, 2013, the Company repaid an additional $7.5 million.  As of October 23, 2013, total debt was $52.5 million.

Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking information and statements, including but not limited to: statements concerning anticipated future financial and operating performance; our expectations regarding demand and acceptance for our technologies; RealD’s ability to continue to derive substantial revenue from the licensing of RealD’s 3D technologies for use in the motion picture industry; 3D motion picture releases and conversions scheduled for fiscal 2014 ending March 31, 2014 and beyond, their commercial success and consumer preferences, that, in recent periods, have trended in favor of 2D over 3D in some motion pictures in domestic and international markets; our ability to increase our revenues and the number of RealD-enabled screens in domestic and international markets and our market share; our ability to supply our solutions to our customers on a timely basis; RealD’s relationships with its exhibitor and studio partners and the business model for 3D eyewear in North America; the progress, timing and amount of expenses associated with RealD’s research and development activities, which may increase in future periods; market and industry trends, including growth in 3D content; our plans, strategies and expected opportunities; the deployment of and demand for our products and products incorporating our technologies; RealD’s projected operating results; and competitive pressures in domestic and international cinema markets impacting license and product revenues.

These statements are based on our management’s current expectations and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events. Such forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside our management’s control that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.  RealD’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended March 31, 2013 and other documents filed with the SEC include a more detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

RealD undertakes no obligation to update publicly the information contained in this press release, or any forward-looking statements, to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date they were made, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement RealD’s financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, RealD provides Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow as supplemental measures of its performance.   RealD defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus expenses for interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment and stock-based compensation plus net foreign exchange loss (gain) plus expenses under RealD’s Credit Agreement for the non-U.S. GAAP category “restructuring charges, severance costs and reserves”.  RealD defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less total capital expenditures in a given period (e.g., purchases of cinema systems and property and equipment on a combined basis).

RealD presents Adjusted EBITDA in reporting its financial results to provide investors with additional tools to evaluate RealD’s operating results in a manner that focuses on what RealD’s management believes to be its ongoing business operations.  RealD presents free cash flow to provide investors a metric for our capacity to generate cash from our operating and investing activities to sustain our operating activities.  RealD’s management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider any such Non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are used by management for planning purposes, including: the preparation of internal budgets, forecasts and strategic plans; in analyzing the effectiveness of business strategies; to evaluate potential acquisitions; in making compensation decisions; and in communications with its Board of Directors concerning financial performance. Because not all companies use identical calculations, RealD’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.  Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments.  Adjusted EBITDA also differs from the amounts calculated under the similarly titled definition in our credit agreement, which is further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and is used to determine compliance with financial covenants and RealD’s ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt and making certain restricted payments.
