DTS Reports Second Quarter 2009 Results

AGOURA HILLS, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- DTS (News - Alert), Inc. (Nasdaq: DTSI) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

For the second quarter of 2009, DTS reported revenue of $24.2 million, and net income from continuing operations of $3.6 million, or $0.21 per diluted share. This compares to revenue of $12.8 million and net income from continuing operations of $1.4 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, reported in the second quarter of 2008. Excluding the settlement of litigation matters, adjusted revenues were in excess of $14 million for the second quarter of 2009. Second quarter 2009 results included $6.1 million in Zoran litigation expenses.

The second quarter of 2009 results included $1.4 million, or $0.5 per diluted share net of tax, in stock-based compensation expense and $225,000, or $0.01 per diluted share net of tax, in amortization of intangible assets associated with the Neural Audio business acquisition.

"Especially considering the difficult economic climate, we are pleased with our performance in the second quarter," commented Jon Kirchner, president and CEO of DTS, Inc. "With the settlement of litigation matters with Zoran, we have taken another step forward in protecting consumers, our licensees, and our intellectual property, which we expect will contribute to the long-term growth of DTS' business and the healthy development of the Blu-ray market.

"Also during the second quarter, we experienced encouraging activity in certain segments of the consumer electronics market, particularly those related to Blu-ray set-top products. With retail prices falling, content availability increasing and the pipeline of Blu-ray products growing, we are highly optimistic about our future.

"In light of recent recoveries and the settlement of litigation matters, we are adjusting our GAAP revenue outlook for 2009 to $76 to $79 million and expect GAAP EPS to be in the range of $0.57 to $0.62," concluded Kirchner.

DTS closed the second quarter with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $78.6 million, up $10.6 million for the year.

For the first six months of 2009, DTS reported revenue of $41.4 million, and income from continuing operations of $3.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share.

Results for the first six months of 2009 included $8.7 million in Zoran litigation expenses.
