DTS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2012 RESULTS
Network-Connected Revenue Increases 81% in Challenging Macro Environment
CALABASAS, Calif. (August 6, 2012) – DTS, Inc. (Nasdaq: DTSI) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Revenue for the second quarter was $21.8 million, including 81% year-over-year growth from the network-connected markets and $120,000 in royalty recoveries. This compares to revenue of $20.6 million in the second quarter of 2011, which included $348,000 in royalty recoveries. Excluding royalty recoveries, the 7% year-to-year growth in total revenue resulted primarily from significant growth in the network-connected markets, offset by softness in Blu-ray as well as declines in DVD-based products and broadcast.
Reflecting a year-over-year increase in investment in the fast-growing network-connected space, non-GAAP net income was $3.5 million, or $0.21 per diluted share net of tax, compared to non-GAAP net income of $4.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share net of tax, in the second quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP operating margin in the second quarter of 2012 was 26%, compared to 34% in the second quarter of 2011. GAAP net loss was $755,000, or a loss of $0.05 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2011. GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2012 includes $2.9 million, or $0.11 per diluted share net of tax, in stock-based compensation expense; $2.3 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in non-deductible costs related to the recently completed acquisition of SRS Labs, Inc.; and $274,000, or $0.01 per diluted share net of tax, in amortization of intangibles.
The GAAP and non-GAAP reconciling items for the second quarters of 2011 and 2012 can be found in the “Non-GAAP Financial Metrics” schedule attached to this press release and on the investor relations portion of our website at www.DTS.com.
The Company generated $3.8 million in cash flow from operations during the second quarter of 2012, compared to $6.7 million during the second quarter of 2011, and closed the quarter with cash and investments of $103.2 million.
“Our growth in the second quarter was impacted by weakness in consumer electronics spending with regard to Blu-ray,” said Jon Kirchner, chairman and CEO of DTS, Inc. “However, our strategy is squarely focused on the network-connected markets, in which we posted year over year growth of 81%. These markets were the largest contributors to our revenues this quarter, and we expect them to represent the majority of our business going forward. As we complete the integration of SRS Labs, including combining product and technology roadmaps, DTS is in an even better position to continue to seize the market opportunities presented by cloud-based entertainment and the proliferation of connected devices. We expect to realize annual synergies of at least $8 million beginning in 2013.”
