TEWKSBURY, MA--(Marketwire - July 23, 2009) - Avid® (NASDAQ: [ AVID ]) today reported revenues of $150.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, compared to $222.9 million for the same period in 2008. The GAAP net loss for the quarter was $15.9 million, or $.43 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $10.4 million, or $.28 per share, in the second quarter of 2008.

The GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2009 included amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and related tax adjustments, collectively totaling $10.4 million. Excluding these items, the non-GAAP net loss was $5.5 million for the second quarter, or $.15 per share.

"We made a number of strategic and operational improvements in the first half of 2009, which have resulted in gross margin improvement and reduced operating costs on a sequential and annual basis," said Gary Greenfield, Avid's chairman and CEO. "While ongoing macroeconomic issues continue to affect our revenue results, we remain confident that our continued efforts to improve our operations have positioned us to take advantage of growth opportunities when the economy improves."

Revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 were $302.2 million, compared to revenues of $421.1 million for the same period in 2008. GAAP net loss for the first six months of 2009 was $33.2 million, or $.89 per share, compared to GAAP net loss of $31.5 million, or $.83 per share, for the same period in 2008. GAAP net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 included $22.1 million of amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and related tax adjustments. Excluding these items, the non-GAAP net loss per share was $.30 for the first half of 2009. GAAP net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 included $19.9 million of amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and related tax adjustments. Excluding these items, the non-GAAP net loss per share was $.30 for the first half of 2008.

The company's cash balance on June 30, 2009 was $118.6 million, or approximately $3.18 per share. The company paid out approximately $6.8 million in cash in the second quarter related to restructuring activities.

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 (loss) and earnings (loss) per share for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are in the tables attached to this press release.

The company uses non-GAAP financial measures internally to manage its business, for example, in establishing its annual operating budget, in assessing segment operating performance and for measuring performance under employee incentive compensation plans. Non-GAAP financial measures are used by management in its operating and financial decision-making because management believes these measures reflect the company's ongoing business in a manner that allows meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Accordingly, the company believes it is useful for investors and others to review both GAAP and non-GAAP measures in order to (a) understand and evaluate the company's 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 past financial results. The primary limitations associated with the company's 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 the company's operations. The company's 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.

Change in Financial Presentation

Beginning January 1, 2009, we combined our professional video and consumer video businesses into a single reporting segment. We will now consequently report on two business segments: Audio and Video. Please note that the segment contribution margin calculation has also changed from last year. Segment contribution margin is now calculated as segment gross margin less the research and development and product management expenses directly attributable to the segment. Comparative results for the 2008 periods have been updated to reflect our new business structure.
