Avid Reports First Quarter 2006 Results
Tewksbury, MA - May 4, 2006 - Avid Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVID) today
reported revenues of $218.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006
compared to $166.0 million for the same period in 2005. GAAP net income for the
quarter was $3.3 million, or $.08 per diluted share compared to GAAP net income
of $19.7 million, or $.53 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2005.
Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2006 was $16.1 million, or $.37 per
diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $22.2 million, or $.60 per
diluted share in the corresponding quarter of 2005. In order to calculate
non-GAAP earnings per share, which the company believes is a meaningful measure
of our operating performance and will assist investors in understanding results
of operations on a comparative basis, the following adjustments were made to
first quarter 2006 and 2005 GAAP earnings per share:
2006 2005
---- ----
Non-cash acquisition-related amortization $ .20 .05
Non-cash stock-based compensation charges .10 $ .02
Non-recurring and other tax adjustments (.04) --
Restructuring charges .02 --
In-process research and development .01 --
--- ----
TOTAL $ .29 $ .07
"Our results for the quarter were in line with the preliminary results announced
on April 11. These results reflect lower-than-expected sales of broadcast
products including playout servers and on-air graphics, add-on and local
storage, and European consumer products," said David Krall, Avid's president and
chief executive officer. "Looking forward, we're pleased with the momentum we
created at last week's National Association of Broadcasters convention, where
Avid just completed one of its strongest showings in years. In particular,
Avid's new Open Storage Initiative was received well by partners and customers
alike, and TV Technology Magazine recognized Avid as a Superior Technology Award
Recipient (STAR) for our new Interplay(TM) nonlinear workflow engine. We also
received Pick Hits awards for our new software-only Media Composer(R) and Avid
Mojo(R) SDI, from Broadcast Engineering Magazine, as well as a VIDY award from
Videography Magazine for Avid Unity ISIS(TM). These products are all expected to
be strong contributors to Avid's results this year."
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP operating results and non-GAAP earnings per share listed above are
"non-GAAP financial measures" under the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. This non-GAAP information supplements, and is not intended to
represent a measure of performance in accordance with, disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. We believe it is useful for
ourselves and investors to review both GAAP and non-GAAP measures in order to
assess our performance. We also believe these non-GAAP financial measures are a
meaningful measure of our operating performance and will assist investors in
understanding our results of operations on a comparative basis. The non-GAAP
financial measures used in this release exclude the accounting treatment of
stock-based compensation, and these non-GAAP measures should not be relied upon
independently, as they ignore the contribution to our operating results that is
generated by the incentive and compensation effects of the underlying
stock-based compensation programs. In addition to the reasons stated above, we
have excluded stock-based compensation from our non-GAAP measures based on our
desire to offer consistent information that is comparable to previous
information that we have publicly disclosed.
