Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On March 23, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal year and fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2016. The full text of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

The disclosure under item 2.02 of this report is incorporated by reference herein.

Non-GAAP and Operational Measures. The attached press release includes non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, and non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow. Non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP net income 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, efficiency program and impact of significant legal settlements. Avid defines non-GAAP revenue as GAAP revenue plus revenue eliminated through the application of purchase accounting which requires acquired deferred revenue to be recorded at fair value rather than the amount paid by customers. Avid defines adjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP operating income (loss) excluding depreciation and all amortization expense. Avid defines non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow as GAAP operating cash flow less capital expenditures and excludes from free cash flow payments or receipts related to M&A, significant legal settlements, restructuring, restatement or other non-operational or non-recurring events. The attached press release also includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP Operating Expenses and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. Reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures were not included in the attached press release due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the excluded information, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible at this time. As a result, the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts.

These non-GAAP measures reflect how Avid manages its businesses internally. Avid’s non-GAAP measures may vary from how other companies present non-GAAP measures. 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 attached press release also includes operational measures, such as bookings, recurring revenue bookings and revenue backlog. Definitions of these measures are included in the supplemental financial and operational data sheet available on our investor relations webpage at ir.avid.com.

Limitation on Incorporation by Reference. The information furnished in Item 2.02 and 7.01, including the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. Except for historical information contained in this Form 8-K, and the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, the Form 8-K, and press release contain forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements. Please refer to the cautionary notes in the press release regarding these forward-looking statements.

Exhibit 99.1


Avid Technology Announces Q4 2016 Results and Issues Q1 and FY 2017 Guidance
Met or Exceeded Guidance for All Metrics and Delivered Positive Adjusted Free Cash Flow in Q4
Strong Sequential Bookings Growth
Efficiency Program Reduces Operating Expenses 29% Year-over-Year in Q4
Positive Adjusted Free Cash Flow Expected in 2017

BURLINGTON, MA, March 23, 2017 Avid® (NASDAQ:AVID) announced its fourth quarter and full year 2016 financial results today and provided financial guidance for first quarter and full year 2017.

Highlights of Fourth Quarter 2016 Results
GAAP and Non-GAAP Revenue was $115.3 million, in-line with guidance and down $23.5 million and $24.4 million year-over-year for GAAP and Non-GAAP, respectively. GAAP and Non-GAAP Revenue was down $3.7 million sequentially.
GAAP Gross Margin was 60.3%, up 1.2 percentage points year-over-year and down 3.1 percentage points sequentially; non-GAAP Gross Margin was 61.9%, up 1.1 percentage points year-over-year and down 3.2 percentage points sequentially.
GAAP Operating Expenses were $58.5 million, down $23.8 million year-over-year and down $8.4 million sequentially; Non-GAAP Operating Expenses were $50.1 million, below the guidance range, down $21.2 million year-over-year and down $8.3 million sequentially.
GAAP Net Income was $5.2 million, up $9.6 million year-over-year and down $3.9 million sequentially; Adjusted EBITDA was $25.2 million, above the guidance range, up $8.2 million year-over-year and up $2.4 million sequentially.
GAAP Net Cash used in Operating Activities was $270 thousand, down $2.3 million year-over-year and an improvement of $3.6 million sequentially; Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $2.0 million, in-line with guidance, down $0.3 million year-over-year and an improvement of $4.6 million sequentially.
Bookings and Constant Currency Bookings were $125.3 million and $134.5 million, in-line with guidance and down $67.8 million and $66.5 million year-over-year, respectively. The declines were attributable to the large Sinclair Enterprise deal booked in December 2015. Bookings and Constant Currency Bookings were up sequentially $35.7 million and $39.7 million, respectively.

Avid Everywhere Momentum Continues
More than 42,700 enterprise users on the MediaCentral platform at the end of 2016, a 29% increase from the beginning of the year
More than 60,700 paying individual, cloud-enabled subscribers, a substantial majority of whom are new customers to Avid, at the end of 2016, a 2.4x increase since the beginning of the year
Added more than 10,700 paying subscribers in Q4, representing a 21% increase from the end of Q3 2016, and largest quarterly paying subscriber increase in Avid’s history
Digital bookings in Q4 2016 increased 27% year-over-year and 46% sequentially; digital bookings in 2016 increased 43% from 2015.





Bookings attributable to recurring revenue represented 45% of total bookings in Q4 2016, up from 39% in Q3 2016; bookings attributable to recurring revenue represented 38% of total bookings in 2016, flat from 2015, which included the impact of the large Sinclair Enterprise deal.

“Thanks to strong execution in key focus areas we met or exceeded quarterly guidance for all of our metrics and delivered positive Adjusted Free Cash Flow,” said Louis Hernandez, Jr, Chairman and CEO of Avid. “We saw sequential bookings growth across all customer tiers and geographies. This performance included a rebound in storage, an improvement in Orad applications, continued growth of cloud-enabled subscribers and digital sales, and traction on enterprise deals such as the global enterprise and cloud agreement with Al Jazeera. Execution on our efficiency program drove a 29% year-over-year reduction in operating expenses. We are confident that we can complete the remaining efficiency program in 2017, which includes more than $30 million of additional annual savings.

Our Q4 results reveal an emerging financial model that will be more predictable and have a significantly improved Adjusted Free Cash Flow conversion of Adjusted EBITDA. This is a direct result of our achievements with the transformation: the roll-off of non-marketed products; completion of the efficiency program; and the cessation by the second quarter of 2017 of pre-2011 amortization and elimination of implied PCS revenue. As Avid’s transformation comes to a close, we are quickly preparing for the next phase of our plan by focusing on investments and partnerships that will drive our cloud-enabled growth strategy, Mr. Hernandez concluded.

Financial Guidance
Avid’s first quarter and full year 2017 financial guidance are set forth in the table below.
The guidance range for Q1 includes the impact of the commercial agreement we announced with Beijing Jetsen Technology Co., Ltd. (“Jetsen”) on January 31, 2017. As our exclusive distributor in the region, Jetsen has committed to minimum bookings and cash payments of $76 million over three years, which includes annual growth of approximately 15%. Guidance ranges for revenue are informed by our recurring revenue and revenue backlog, as well as expectations for our bookings performance. Additional cost savings related to the continued execution of our efficiency program are reflected in the guidance ranges for Non-GAAP Operating Expenses, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. Guidance ranges imply a significantly improved Adjusted Free Cash Flow conversion of Adjusted EBITDA, due to our improving core operating margins and reduction of the impact related to pre-2011 amortization and elimination of implied PCS revenue.
“As we head into 2017, we are encouraged by the core trends in our Q4 performance which provides important visibility into our guidance for 2017. We believe our amended noteholder agreement will provide Avid with greater financial flexibility as we complete the transformation and deliver a scalable and sustainably profitable business,” said Brian E. Agle, Avid’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

All guidance presented by the Company is inherently uncertain and subject to numerous risks and uncertainties.

Avid includes non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including non-GAAP Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, non-GAAP Operating Income (loss), non-GAAP Operating Expenses and non-GAAP Gross Margin. The Company also includes the operational metric of bookings, revenue backlog and recurring revenue bookings in this release. Avid believes the non-GAAP financial measures and operational metrics provided in this release provide helpful information to investors with respect to evaluating the Company’s performance. Unless noted, all financial information is reported based on actual exchange rates. Definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures are included in our Form 8-K filed today. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures in this release to the Company's comparable GAAP financial measures for the periods presented are set forth below and are also included in the supplemental financial and operational data sheet available on our investor relations webpage at ir.avid.com, which also includes definitions of the operational metrics.

The earnings release also includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP Operating Expenses and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. Reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures were not included in the Earnings Release due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the excluded information, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible at this time. As a result, the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts.
