Avid Reports Third Quarter 2006 Results
Tewksbury, MA – October 26, 2006 – Avid Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVID) today reported revenues of $231.2 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to $204.4 million for the same period in 2005. GAAP net income for the quarter was $3.6 million, or $.08 per diluted share compared to a GAAP net loss of $17.8 million, or $.46 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2005. GAAP net income in the third quarter of 2006 includes $14.3 million of non-cash charges including amortization, in-process research and development, stock-based compensation, restructuring and related tax adjustments. This compares to $42 million of non-cash acquisition-related charges including amortization, in-process research and development, stock-based compensation, restructuring costs and related tax adjustments included in the GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2005.
“Our professional video business had a solid quarter, with record broadcast bookings driving a 23% sequential increase in that segment’s backlog, and healthy demand for our HD-enabled postproduction solutions yielding growth in our post business,” said David Krall, Avid’s president and chief executive officer. “As previously announced, we had a slowdown in demand at quarter-end for Digidesign’s Pro Tools|HD® systems. Now that many of the best-selling third-party Pro Tools® plug-ins have been ported to the Intel-based Mac platform, we expect Pro Tools|HD demand to improve in Q4. We’ve also addressed the stability issue with Pinnacle Studio™ 10, and are now focusing our development efforts on an upcoming release of Pinnacle Studio for the new Windows Vista operating system.”
Revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, were $671.5 million compared to revenues of $530.5 million for the same period in 2005. GAAP net income for the first nine months of 2006 was $9.6 million, or $.22 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $15.6 million, or $.41 per diluted share, for the same period in 2005. GAAP net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 includes $38.9 million of non-cash amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring costs, in-process research and development, and related tax adjustments. This compares to $46.8 million of acquisition-related charges including in-process research and development, restructuring costs, stock-based compensation and related tax adjustments included in GAAP net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005.
