Exhibit 99.1 - Press Release


Avid Files 2013 Form 10-K and Completes Financial Restatement

Company reports four consecutive quarters of year-over-year bookings growth and positive free cash flow for 2013



BURLINGTON, MA, September 12, 2014 Avid® (OTC: AVID) announced today that it has completed its restatement and filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, which also includes results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and restated results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. The Company also filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for each of the quarterly periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2013.

“We have worked diligently for well over a year on the restatement and are delighted to have completed the process. said Louis Hernandez, Jr., president and CEO of Avid. “Throughout this period, we have put a premium on maintaining our focus on continued innovation for our customers and reasserting our commitment to being a strategic leader for the media industry with our Avid Everywhere vision. Im encouraged by the progress weve made in executing against our three phase transformational strategy, and specifically with the growth in bookings over the past few quarters. Now that we have completed the restatement process, we are excited to continue our work on the transformation and feel the momentum building.

Central to the transformational strategy and the Avid Everywhere vision is the MediaCentral platform. The momentum of the platform, combined with unprecedented community engagement via the Avid Customer Association, helped grow the Companys bookings over the past four quarters on a year-over-year basis, reversing declines experienced in 2012 and the first half of 2013.

We are especially encouraged by the growth in platform sales and the strong adoption of subscription license offerings for our creative tools which we believe validates our strategic direction and provides a fertile opportunity for cross sale activity,” said Louis Hernandez, Jr., president and CEO of Avid. 

The restated results include changes to the Companys historical reported results, primarily focused in the following areas:
Revenue Recognition
Impairment of Goodwill
Discontinued Operations Classification
Restructuring Reserves






As a result of our restatement and in accordance with GAAP, revenue that had originally been recognized in earlier periods is now being recognized ratably over an extended timeframe, said John Frederick, executive vice president, chief financial officer and chief administrative officer of Avid. The amount of revenue earned or to be earned over the entire period of recognition essentially remains unchanged from the amount we historically recognized. There was no change to the cash characteristics of the transactions being restated nor to the Companys liquidity directly relating to these transactions. As a result of the restatement, the balance sheet reflects a significant increase in deferred revenue, which will be recognized in revenue over a number of years and will provide significant visibility into our future revenues. The revenue recognized from deferred revenue originating in periods prior to 2011 will continue in declining amounts through 2016, creating downward pressure on revenue growth until 2017.

This accounting related revenue pressure is caused by an accounting rules change which became effective January 1, 2011 which resulted in more revenue for transactions originating after January 1, 2011 being recognized upon shipment in many of our customer arrangements as compared to transactions prior to that date.

The Company encourages investors to thoroughly review the supplemental tables attached to this announcement and the informational video series which will be posted on Avids Investor Relations website by 9:00 a.m. ET on September 12, 2014 which will provide more details on these changes.

Revenues for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $563.4 million and $635.7 million, respectively. GAAP net income for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $21.2 million and $92.9 million, respectively. The decline in revenue and net income was predominately due to the larger portion of revenue from periods prior to 2011 being amortized in 2012 as compared to 2013 due to the above referenced change in accounting rules.

The Company includes non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including income from continuing operations, income per share from continuing operations, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. Definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to the Company's comparable GAAP financial measures for the periods presented, are included in this press release.

For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013, non-GAAP income from continuing operations was $57.2 million or $1.46 per share.

As Avid continues to focus on executing against its three-phased transformational strategy, the Companys management team believes that the operational measure of bookings, as well the non-GAAP





financial metrics of Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow will also be helpful in evaluating operating performance and the effectiveness of its strategy.

With respect to those measures we are providing 2014 guidance for each
Year-over-year bookings growth of 3%
$58 million to $65 million of adjusted earnings excluding interest, taxes, depreciation, all amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring and other charges and restatement related costs (or Adjusted EBITDA).
Free cash flow of approximately $20 million

Bookings for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014 were $127.7 million and $126.1 million respectively. These represent the 3rd and 4th consecutive quarters of year-over-year quarterly bookings growth dating back to the third quarter of 2013. For the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2014 bookings increased $21 million, a 4% increase over the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA was $80.3 million and $117.8 million for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. A significant factor in the decline in Adjusted EBITDA between 2012 and 2013 and then again for the 2014 guidance is the declining amortization of the pre-2011 deferred revenue, the impact of which will continue through 2017.

Avids cash and debt balances as of June 30, 2014 were $23.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively. The Company expects restatement related payments for the second half of 2014 to be between $12 million to $14 million.

Free cash flow, which excludes payments for restatement and restructuring activities of $26.3 million, was $5.5 million in fiscal year 2013. On a GAAP basis, cash used in operations for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013 was $9.1 million.

To help investors better understand Avids strategic vision, its restated results and financial model, the Company will post an informational video series on its Investor Relations web site, available here (ir.avid.com) by 9:00 a.m. ET on September 12, 2014. This four-part video series covers:
Company Update and Vision
Restatement Overview
Financial Results for 2012 and 2013 and certain summary financial metrics (bookings and cash) for Q1 and Q2 of 2014
Financial Model






The Company is targeting to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 in approximately one week. Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2014 is expected to be filed within approximately 40 days following the filing of the first quarter 10-Q.

Following the filing of Avids first quarter 2014 financial report, the Company plans to apply for relisting on the NASDAQ stock exchange. Given the previously disclosed delay in the second quarter 2014 10-Q filing, the Company hopes to be relisted on the NASDAQ stock exchange sometime after becoming current with its SEC reporting obligations. In the interim, Avid stock will continue to trade on OTC Markets - OTC Pink Tier under the trading symbol AVID. For quotes or additional information on OTC Markets and the OTC Pink Tier, please visit http://www.otcmarkets.com.

Conference Call and Investor Day
A conference call to discuss Avid's financial results will be held after the filing of its Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Additionally, the Company anticipates hosting an investor day in New York after the filing of its quarterly results for the period ending September 30, 2014.

Non-GAAP Measures
In this release Avid presents a number of non-GAAP financial measures as set forth and reconciled in the appendix of this press release.

Avid defines Adjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP operating profit or loss excluding depreciation and all amortization expense. Avid's non-GAAP operating results and earnings per share exclude restructuring costs, stock based compensation, amortization and impairment of intangibles as well as other unusual items such as costs related to the restatement; M&A related activity; or impact of significant legal settlements. Avid defines free cash flow as GAAP cash flow generated from or used by operations less capital expenditures and excludes payments or receipts related to M&A, significant legal settlements, restructuring, restatement or other non-operational or non-recurring events. These non-GAAP measures also reflect how Avid manages its businesses internally.

As with the items eliminated in its calculation of net income, these items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to the overall operating performance of Avid’s business. When analyzing Avid’s operating performance, investors should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures as a substitute for net income or other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. 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.  Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.


The reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is in the tables included in this press release.










Operational Metrics

Avid also references bookings in this press release. Bookings are an operational metric which is defined as the amount of revenue we expect to earn from an agreement between Avid and a customer for goods and services over the course of the agreement. To count as a booking, we expect there to be persuasive evidence of an agreement between us and our customer and that the collectability of the amounts payable under the arrangement are reasonably assured. Due to the timing of revenue recognition, all of the revenue related to the booking may not be recorded in the period that it was transacted and would therefore be reported as part of revenue backlog and/or deferred revenue, thereby providing visibility into future revenue. However, because our bookings are based on orders that, under certain circumstances can be cancelled or adjusted; bookings may not convert into revenue earned.

Forward-Looking Statements
The information provided in this press release includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements about our anticipated plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Such statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our recently filed financial statements or other information included herein based upon or otherwise incorporating judgments or estimates, including statements herein relating to future performance such as our future adjusted EBITDA, earnings, bookings, free cash flow, payments for restatement-related expenses; our future strategy and business plans; our objective to obtain relisting on the NASDAQ Stock Market and to have our shares of common stock trade on that market; and our anticipated timing for filing our future quarterly reports. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations as of the date of this release and subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements, including but not limited to: the effect on our sales, operations and financial performance resulting from the identified material weaknesses in our internal control of financial reporting; the delisting of our stock from NASDAQ; the previously disclosed ongoing SEC and Department of Justice inquiries; pending litigation, including the previously disclosed class action and possibility of further legal proceedings adverse to our Company resulting from the restatement or related matters; the costs associated with the restatement; as well as our ability to have our shares relisted on the NASDAQ stock market; our liquidity; our ability to execute our strategic plan and meet customer needs; our ability to produce innovative products in response to changing market demand, particularly in the media industry; our ability to successfully accomplish our product development plans; competitive factors; history of losses; fluctuations in our revenue, based on, among other things, our performance in particular geographies or markets, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and seasonal factors; adverse changes in economic conditions; variances in our backlog and the realization thereof. Moreover, the business may be adversely affected by future legislative, regulatory or tax changes as well as other economic, business and/or competitive factors. The risks included above are not exhaustive. Other factors that could adversely affect our business and prospects are described in the filings made by our Company with the SEC. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

24 Posted September 12, 2014 Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes a number of non-GAAP financial measures, which are defined and reconciled in the appendix to this presentation. These Non-GAAP measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Operating Profit or Loss, Free Cash Flow and Non-GAAP Non-Material spending. These Non-GAAP measures reflect how Avid manages its businesses internally. These measures may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to the overall operating performance of Avid’s business. When analyzing Avid’s operating performance, investors should not consider these Non-GAAP financial measures as a substitute for net income or other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. 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. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliation of the GAAP to Non-GAAP financial measures is in the tables included in this presentation and the appendix thereto.


 
25 Posted September 12, 2014 What We Found  Determined many of our software updates represented implied post-contract customer support or PCS and that revenue accounting needed to be corrected  Could not establish fair value for software updates, therefore, some or all of transaction value had to be recognized ratably over the periods the updates were provided  We found no evidence that our previous revenue accounting was the result of intentional misconduct  Our internal control over financial reporting was found not to be effective


 
26 Posted September 12, 2014 Our Process  Retained big four accounting firm to review our historical accounting practices and advise management on acceptability of accounting application  Reviewed historical practices around upgrades and updates  Implemented a methodical, comprehensive process for analyzing and assessing accounting impact of multiple bundled offerings  Initiated a special purpose team to review, address and remediate internal control deficiencies


 
27 Posted September 12, 2014 Our Process  Developed and documented new accounting framework  Went back to 2005 and reprocessed over five million transaction lines to determine appropriate accounting treatment for five year period  Implemented new revenue accounting sub-ledger system to apply appropriate accounting treatment for all customer sales arrangements  Because prior periods had been reopened—evaluated certain other historical accounting decisions


 
28 Posted September 12, 2014 Internal Controls over Financial Reporting  As part of restatement process, we reviewed our internal control structure related to our financial reporting and identified material weaknesses which are discussed in more detail in our Form 10-K for fiscal year 2013  Nearly all efforts have been toward regaining current filing status  As a result, we have not yet addressed all of the underlying internal control deficiencies but have initiated remediation measures in the interim  We’ve invested in the accounting and internal audit functions as it relates to people, process and technology and expect to see incremental improvements over the next 12-24 months

31 Posted September 12, 2014 Major Restatement Items Revenue Recognition1. Impairment of Goodwill Discontinued Operations Classification Restructuring Reserves 2. 3. 4.


 
32 Posted September 12, 2014 Major Restatement Items – Revenue Recognition  Existence of implied post-contract customer support requires Company to defer and amortize a significant portion of revenue  Impacts the timing but not the total amount of revenue earned  Revenue accounting treatment different for pre-2011 as compared to post- 2010  Cash flow characteristics of transactions unchanged by change in accounting 1.


 
33 Posted September 12, 2014 Major Restatement Items – Impairment of Goodwill  Restated financial statements impacted historical assessment of goodwill  Recorded a full goodwill impairment charge in the year ended December 31, 2011 2.

We were financially lagging our peer group 2. We had significant cost opportunities arising from lack of alignment with our key strategies which led to inefficient operations and misaligned investments 3.
