Avid Reports Second Quarter 2007 Results
Appoints Joel Legon as CFO
TEWKSBURY, Mass., Jul 26, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Avid Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVID) today reported revenue of $225.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to $222.2 million for the same period in 2006. GAAP net loss for the quarter was $6.0 million, or $.15 per share, compared to GAAP net income of $2.7 million, or $.06 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2006.
GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2007 includes $14.2 million of amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, legal settlements and related tax adjustments. Excluding these items, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $.20. For the second quarter of 2006, there was $11.8 million of amortization, stock-based compensation and related tax adjustments included in GAAP net income. Excluding these items, non-GAAP earnings per share were $.34 in the second quarter of 2006.
Avid also announced the appointment of Joel Legon to serve as the company's vice president and chief financial officer. Since joining Avid in March 2006, Legon had served as vice president and corporate controller. He had additionally served as acting chief financial officer since March 2007.
"I am pleased to report a solid Q2, with revenue and profit that were in line with our expectations," said David Krall, who will be stepping down as president and chief executive officer on July 31. "Our Video division recognized several large deals out of backlog, including France 24, one of the largest orders in our history. In Audio, which is our most consistent and profitable segment, revenue was flat organically and up 3% year-on-year including revenue generated from Sibelius. In our Consumer segment, lower sales of the TV viewing line in Europe were counterbalanced by strong sales and market share growth of our flagship Studio 11 consumer video editor."
"With a strong balance sheet, innovative products and world-class customers, Avid is well positioned as a leader in the media and entertainment industry," said Nancy Hawthorne, who will take over as interim chief executive officer on August 1. "Our customers are looking to Avid to extend that leadership into new areas as their businesses evolve. By aligning ourselves more closely with our customers' business opportunities, and taking a fresh approach to our own business processes, we believe we can deliver more value to both our customers and our shareholders."
The company also announced a strategic realignment that will result in restructuring charges of between $8 and $10 million, $1.5 million of which was recorded in Q2. This action includes the transition of video server engineering from Mountain View, CA to existing Avid facilities in Edmonton, Canada and Tewksbury, MA; a reduction in space within certain facilities; and a reduction in force of approximately 150 positions, primarily, but not exclusively, in the company's Video business unit.
Revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 was $444.2 million, compared to revenue of $440.3 million for the same period in 2006. GAAP net loss for the first six months of 2007 was $6 million, or $.15 per share, compared to GAAP net income of $6.0 million, or $.14 per diluted share, for the same period in 2006. GAAP net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 includes $24.8 million of amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, legal settlements and related tax adjustments. Excluding these items, non-GAAP earnings per share were $.45 per diluted share for the first half of 2007. GAAP net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 includes $24.6 million of amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, in-process research and development and related tax adjustments. Excluding these items non-GAAP earnings per share were $.71 for the first half of 2006.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains "non-GAAP financial measures" under the rules of the U.S. 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. The reconciliation for net income and diluted earnings per share for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are in the tables attached to this press release.
We use non-GAAP financial measures internally to manage our business, for example, in establishing our annual operating budget, in assessing segment operating performance and for measuring performance under our employee incentive compensation plans. Non-GAAP financial measures are used by our management in its operating and financial decision-making because management believes these measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Accordingly, we believe it is useful for our investors and others to review both GAAP and non-GAAP measures in order to (a) understand and evaluate our current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does and (b) compare in a consistent manner the company's current financial results with our past financial results. The primary limitations associated with our use of non-GAAP financial measures are that these measures may not be directly comparable to the amounts reported by other companies and they do not include all items of income and expense that affect our operations. Our management compensates for these limitations by considering the company's financial results as determined in accordance with GAAP and by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in this press release.
