Avid Reports Solid Second Quarter 2006 Results
Announces Authorization to Repurchase Up To $50 Million of Stock
Tewksbury, MA - July 20, 2006 - Avid Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVID) today
reported revenues of $222.2 million for the three month period ended June 30,
2006 compared to $160.1 million for the same period in 2005. GAAP net income for
the quarter was $2.7 million, or $.06 per diluted share compared to GAAP net
income of $13.6 million, or $.37 per diluted share, in the second quarter of
2005. GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2006 includes $11.8 million of
non-cash acquisition related charges, non-cash stock-based compensation and
related tax adjustments. This compares to $2.3 million of acquisition related
charges, stock-based compensation and related tax adjustments included in GAAP
net income for the second quarter of 2005.
"Our June quarter results were solid," said David Krall, Avid's president and
chief executive officer. "Contributing substantially to these results was the
on-schedule delivery of all of the new products announced at the National
Association of Broadcasters convention in April that were scheduled to ship
during the second quarter. We continue to emphasize the importance of delivering
new products to our customers on time, and our Interplay(TM) nonlinear workflow
engine is still expected to ship in the third quarter. In broadcast, we had a
strong bookings quarter and increased our backlog substantially. We continue to
rebuild our consumer business, and the improvements that have been made to
Pinnacle Studio(TM) 10 are being reflected by significant increases in user
satisfaction ratings. Finally, our audio business had another good quarter,
highlighted by strong performances in both our home recording and live sound
markets."
Revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, were $440.3 million
compared to revenues of $326.1 million for the same period in 2005. GAAP net
income for the first six months of 2006 was $6.0 million, or $.14 per diluted
share, compared to GAAP net income of $33.3 million, or $.90 per diluted share,
for the same period in 2005. GAAP net income for the six month period ended June
30, 2006 includes $24.6 million of non-cash acquisition-related amortization,
stock-based compensation charges, restructuring charges, in-process research and
development, and related tax adjustments. This compares to $4.8 million of
acquisition-related amortization, stock-based compensation and related tax
adjustments included in GAAP net income for the six month period ended June 30,
2005.
Stock Repurchase Program
Avid also announced that its Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase
up to $50 million of stock through transactions on the open market, in block
trades or otherwise. The stock repurchase program will be funded using the
company's working capital. As of June 30, 2006, the company had cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $238.1 million.
