Avid Reports Second Quarter Results

Avid Reports Second Quarter ResultsTEWKSBURY, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 21, 2005--Avid Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVID) today reported revenues of $160.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $139.9 million for the same period in 2004. GAAP net income for the quarter was $13.6 million, or $.37 per diluted share compared to $15.5 million, or $.45 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2004. Excluding acquisition-related amortization and related tax benefits and acquisition-related stock-based compensation, non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2005 was $15.9 million, or $.43 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $16.0 million, or $.47 per diluted share in the corresponding quarter of 2004.

"This quarter's results were negatively impacted by new product delays in our core broadcast markets as well as the negative effects of foreign currency movements," said David Krall, Avid's president and chief executive officer. "These product delays have shifted out revenues in our broadcast business, which we had expected to, but were unable to, offset with additional revenues from other areas of our business. Nevertheless, we are encouraged that the market demand for our broadcast products remains robust, as indicated by our sequential increase in broadcast orders and backlog, and that the fundamental growth indicators in each of the markets we serve are still pointing in the right direction."

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005, were $326.1 million compared to revenues of $267.3 million for the same period in 2004. GAAP net income for the first six months of 2005 was $33.3 million, or $.90 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $30.2 million, or $.89 per diluted share, for the same period in 2004. Excluding acquisition-related amortization and related tax benefits, acquisition-related stock-based compensation, non-recurring tax benefits, and non-recurring expenses in the first quarter of 2004 related to the settlement of a lawsuit, non-GAAP net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005, was $38.1 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, compared to $31.1 million, or $.92 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2004.
