DTS Reports First Quarter 2012 Results
Network-Connected Revenue Increases 13%
Company Maintains Annual Outlook
CALABASAS, Calif., May 7, 2012 — DTS, Inc. (Nasdaq:DTSI) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Revenue for the first quarter was $26.9 million, including 13% year-over-year growth from the network-connected markets and $2.25 million in royalty recoveries. This compares to revenue of $26.8 million in the first quarter of 2011, which included no royalty recoveries. Excluding royalty recoveries, the 8% year-to-year decline in total revenue resulted primarily from accelerating declines in DVD-based products, completion of a broadcast arrangement in 2011, softness as expected in Blu-ray game consoles, and lingering effects of the Thailand floods on the supply chain. Total revenue excluding royalty recoveries for the first quarter of 2012 was at the high end of the Company’s previously stated expectations, which were for a sequential decline of 10% to 15% from the fourth quarter of 2011.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2012 was $26.7 million, or 99% of revenue, compared to $26.6 million, or 99% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2011.
Non-GAAP net income was $6.2 million, or $0.37 per diluted share net of tax, compared to non-GAAP net income $7.1 million, or $0.40 per diluted share net of tax, in the first quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP operating margin in the first quarter of 2012 was 38%, compared to 44% in the first quarter of 2011, as the Company increased headcount to support expansion into the growing network-connected space and launched its “Sound Matters” consumer-facing marketing campaign.
GAAP net income was $4.0 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2011.
The GAAP and non-GAAP reconciling items for the first 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 $6.8 million in cash flow from operations during the first quarter of 2012, compared to $3.9 million during the first quarter of 2011, and closed the quarter with cash and investments of $97.6 million. During the quarter, DTS repurchased approximately 72,000 shares of common stock in the open market for approximately $2 million under its 2 million share repurchase program.
“We were pleased with the continued expansion of our network-connected business during the quarter, which grew 13% driven by strong mobile device and connected TV sales,” commented Jon Kirchner, chairman and CEO of DTS, Inc. “This expansion, coupled with a number of recently announced strategic partnerships, including those with Deluxe and castLabs, positions us for accelerated growth in the network-connected markets and represents a strong start to a year of strategic transition. In addition, we were very pleased to announce the SRS Labs transaction last month, which we expect to close in the third quarter of 2012, and which we believe will further accelerate our growth in these markets and expand our footprint in the audio processing space. We believe the long-term opportunities being driven by cloud-based entertainment delivery and the proliferation of connected devices are compelling, and we continue to execute against our long-term strategy to benefit from them.
“As we look ahead into 2012, we are very excited about the opportunities before us and thus we are maintaining our outlook for fiscal year 2012,” concluded Kirchner.
Business Outlook
DTS’ business outlook does not include the potential impact of the acquisition of SRS Labs, Inc.
DTS management continues to expect 2012 revenue in the range of $112 to $116 million, non-GAAP operating margin of approximately 40% and non-GAAP EPS in the range of $1.60 to $1.65 per diluted share, excluding the charges and the related income tax effect for stock-based compensation, the amortization of intangible assets, and certain acquisition-related charges. Stock-based compensation expense is expected to be in the range of $0.37 to $0.38 per share net of tax in 2012. On a GAAP basis, management expects operating margins of approximately 30% and EPS in the range of $1.18 to $1.22 cents per diluted share.
