Avid Reports Best-Ever First Quarter Revenues and Net Income
Tewksbury, MA - April 28, 2005 - Avid Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVID) today
reported revenues of $166.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 -
a 30% increase over the $127.4 million generated in the corresponding quarter in
2004. GAAP operating income for the first quarter of 2005 was $20.3 million,
compared to $14.8 million for the same quarter in 2004. GAAP net income for the
quarter was $19.7 million, or $.53 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net
income of $14.7 million, or $.44 per diluted share, for the corresponding
quarter in 2004. Excluding acquisition-related amortization and related tax
benefits, acquisition-related stock-based compensation, non-recurring tax
benefits, and expenses in the first quarter of 2004 related to the settlement of
a lawsuit, pro forma non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2005 was $22.2
million, or $.60 per diluted share, compared to pro forma non-GAAP net income of
$15.0 million, or $.45 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2004.
"We've started 2005 with strong results from both our video and audio
businesses," said David Krall, Avid's president and chief executive officer.
"Video revenues grew by 14%, on the strength of our broadcast and postproduction
offerings - particularly the Avid DNA(TM) product family, which we recently
upgraded to support a wide range of HD formats and resolutions. Our audio
revenues were also up significantly, with a 74% increase over the first quarter
of 2004 reflecting solid performance from Digidesign and from M-Audio following
its addition to our audio business in the third quarter of 2004.
Krall added, "We just returned from the National Association of Broadcasters
convention in Las Vegas, where we had a great week. We made major announcements
across our postproduction, broadcast, shared storage, and audio businesses,
including the highly anticipated Avid(R) Symphony(TM) Nitris(R) finishing system
and the new Avid iNEWS(R) Instinct(TM) journalist editor, both of which were
recognized with awards at the show. All told, Avid won eleven industry awards,
making it our most-decorated show in recent years."
