Avid Reports Strong Revenue and Profit Growth in Third Quarter
Net income for the third quarter was $11.8 million or $.35 per diluted share compared to net income of $2.3 million or $.09 per diluted share for the corresponding quarter in 2002. Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 was $25.1 million or $.78 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $1.3 million or $.05 per share for the same period in 2002.
Avid's cash and marketable securities increased during the third quarter by $36.6 million to $171.6 million on September 30, 2003. Approximately $17 million of the increase was generated through operations and the balance from employee stock program activity. Since the beginning of 2003, the company's cash and marketable securities balance has nearly doubled.
"Our third quarter results are another indicator that our long-term strategy is paying off," said David Krall, Avid's president and chief executive officer. "Year-over-year, the combination of our increasing revenue, expanding gross margins, and cost containment efforts enabled us to generate more than five times the quarterly net income posted just one year ago. We believe we've put the essential building blocks in place in all areas of our business to enable further increases in Avid's revenue and profitability."
