Avid Reports Highest Ever Quarterly Revenue and Operating Profit
Tewksbury, MA - October 26, 2004 - Avid Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVID) today
reported the highest quarterly GAAP revenue and operating profit in the
company's history. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2004, were
$147.4 million, a 24% increase over the $119.1 million in the corresponding
quarter in 2003. GAAP operating profit for the third quarter of 2004 was $18.3
million compared to $11.6 million for the same quarter in 2003. GAAP net income
for the quarter was $19.0 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, compared to GAAP
net income of $11.8 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the corresponding
quarter in 2003. Excluding a non-recurring tax benefit, acquisition-related
stock-based compensation and amortization, and restructuring charges, pro forma
non-GAAP net income for the third quarter was $20.4 million, or $.58 per diluted
share, compared to pro forma non-GAAP net income of $12.3 million, or $.37 per
diluted share, in the third quarter of 2003.
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, were $414.6 million
compared to revenues of $344.6 million for the same period in 2003. GAAP
operating profit for the first nine months of 2004 was $48.6 million compared to
$24.7 million for the same period in 2003. GAAP net income for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004, was $49.2 million, or $1.43 per diluted share,
compared to GAAP net income of $25.1 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, for
the same period in 2003. Excluding non-recurring tax benefits,
acquisition-related stock-based compensation and amortization, restructuring
charges, and expenses related to the settlement of a lawsuit, pro forma non-GAAP
net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, was $51.4 million, or
$1.50 per diluted share, compared to $28.0 million, or $.87 per diluted share,
for the first nine months of 2003.
"This quarter, we posted a 24% year-over-year increase in revenue and a
better-than 50% year-over-year increase in earnings per share, reflecting solid
performance across the entire business," said David Krall, Avid's president and
chief executive officer. "In video postproduction, we more than doubled our
year-over-year sales of the Avid DS Nitris family of products, which underscores
the strong demand for best-in-class HD tools for television and feature film
production. In broadcast, we had our most successful quarter in terms of the
total number of deals signed - bringing the total number of Avid digital
broadcast conversions either under way or completed to more than 200 and keeping
us on track to hit the high end of our target of 80-100 deals for 2004. Lastly,
a strong performance in all areas of Digidesign's business, combined with the
acquisition of M-Audio - the results of which are included in the last six weeks
of the quarter - helped push our year-over-year revenue growth in audio to 60%."
