Avid Finishes 2005 with Solid Fourth Quarter Results
Tewksbury, MA - January 26, 2006 - Avid Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVID) today
reported revenues of $245.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005
compared to $175.0 million for the same period in 2004. GAAP net income for the
quarter was $18.4 million, or $.43 per diluted share compared to GAAP net income
of $22.5 million, or $.61 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2004.
Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $30.1 million, or $.69
per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $23.4 million, or $.64 per
diluted share in the corresponding quarter of 2004. In order to calculate
non-GAAP net income, which the company believes is a more meaningful measure of
normalized operating performance and will assist investors in understanding
results of operations on a comparative basis, the following items have been
excluded from fourth quarter 2005 GAAP net income:
o Non-cash acquisition-related amortization totaling $10.1 million.
o Restructuring charges of $1.2 million related to vacating a facility and
reducing headcount in Montreal.
o Acquisition-related stock-based compensation charges and net tax
provisions, and other non-recurring tax benefits of $394,000.
"We finished 2005 with a solid fourth quarter," said David Krall, Avid's
president and chief executive officer. "Our professional video segment posted
good results in the quarter led by strong sales of Avid(R) Symphony(TM)
Nitris(R) into the postproduction market and Avid Unity ISIS(TM) to our
broadcast customers. Audio had a strong quarter, with record sales of
Digidesign's Mbox(R) portable micro-studio, continuing demand for digital mixing
consoles for both the studio and live sound markets and new product launches by
M-Audio for the home studio. Finally, our consumer segment delivered a
profitable quarter, as Pinnacle Studio(TM) version 10 was available during the
important holiday buying season."
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005, were $775.4 million compared to
revenues of $589.6 million for 2004. GAAP net income for 2005 was $34.0 million,
or $.86 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $71.7 million, or
$2.05 per diluted share, for 2004. Non-GAAP net income for the year ended
December 31, 2005, was $92.4 million, or $2.34 per diluted share, compared to
$74.9 million, or $2.14 per diluted share, for 2004. Non-GAAP net income in 2005
excludes a $32.4 million in-process research and development charge related to
the acquisition of Pinnacle Systems, Inc. on August 9, 2005, $20.2 million of
non-cash acquisition-related amortization, $3.2 million of restructuring costs,
$2.2 million of stock-based compensation, and $451,000 of non-recurring and
other tax provisions.
