DivX, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2009 Financial Results

Company Exceeds Guidance with Revenue of $20.1 million and non-GAAP EPS of $0.07 Strong Results Driven by Growing Diversification of Technology Licensing Business Balance Sheet Remains Strong with $144 Million or $4.38 per Share in Cash and Investments

SAN DIEGO, March 3 -- DivX, Inc. (NASDAQ:DIVX), a leading digital media company, today announced results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2009.

The Company reported revenues for the fourth quarter of $20.1 million, comprised of $17.9 million of technology licensing revenues and $2.1 million of media and other distribution and services revenues.  This compares to revenues of $23.2 million reported for the same period a year ago, which included $20.5 million of technology licensing revenues and $2.7 million of media and other distribution and services revenues.

"As we exit 2009, we closed the fourth quarter with strong financial results well ahead of our guidance," stated Kevin Hell, Chief Executive Officer for DivX, Inc. "Key areas of strength included technology licensing and online software distribution. Looking forward, we continue to see solid opportunities to grow and diversify our core technology licensing business.  In addition, with our DivX TV initiative, we are positioned to enable a new streaming distribution model that will transform the consumer experience and deliver on the promise of digital entertainment for consumers, content providers and consumer electronics manufacturers alike."

GAAP net loss in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $34,000, or $0.00 per diluted share.  Non-GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of 2009 was approximately $2.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income and earnings per diluted share exclude the following items: (1) non-cash share-based compensation of approximately $2.4 million ($1.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, net of related taxes); (2) the scheduled amortization of purchased intangible assets related to the acquisition of MainConcept of $577,000 ($347,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, net of related taxes); (3) adjustments to the fair value of the Company's contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of AnySource Media of $383,000 ($230,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, net of related taxes); (4) the foreign exchange loss on the Company's Euro-denominated intercompany loan of $60,000 ($36,000, or less than $0.01 per diluted share, net of related taxes); and (5) a non-cash charge of $252,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, related to the write-off of deferred tax assets associated with cancelled stock options.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, the Company reported $70.6 million in total revenues.  GAAP net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 was $131,000, or $0.00 per diluted share.  DivX generated non-GAAP net income of $3.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. Non-GAAP net income and earnings per share for the twelve month period excludes the following items: (1) non-cash share-based compensation of approximately $9.3 million ($5.6 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, net of related taxes); (2) the scheduled amortization of purchased intangible assets related to the acquisition of MainConcept of approximately $2.2 million ($1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, net of related taxes); (3) the foreign exchange benefit on the Company's Euro-denominated intercompany loan of $145,000 ($87,000, or less than $0.01 per diluted share, net of related taxes); (4) a $9.5 million litigation settlement gain ($5.7 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, net of related taxes); (5) adjustments to the fair value of the Company's contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of AnySource Media of $412,000 ($248,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, net of related taxes); and (6) a non-cash charge of approximately $1.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, related to the change in value of certain deferred tax assets due to a change in California income tax law enacted during 2009, and the write-off of deferred tax assets associated with cancelled stock options.

Dan Halvorson, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President Operations, added,  "During our fourth quarter, revenue contribution from our emerging product categories such as digital TVs, Blu-ray players and mobile phones was over 25% of total technology licensing revenues and a clear sign that our revenue streams are diversifying.  We will continue to manage expenses while investing in technical innovation that we believe will drive growth in our core and new businesses. We ended 2009 with approximately $144 million in cash and investments and a strong balance sheet."

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this press release that are not strictly historical in nature constitute "forward-looking statements." Such statements include, but are not limited to, references to the expected growth and earnings potential of the Company's business, the Company's position in the digital media space, including DivX TV, the anticipated growth of emerging products as a percentage of the Company's total technology licensing revenues, the Company's ability to manage expenses, the anticipated financial results for the first quarter of 2010, and the anticipated impact of the acquisition of AnySource Media to the Company, its customers and partners. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the Company's actual results to be materially different from historical results or from any results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: the risk that customer use of DivX technology may not grow as anticipated; the risk that anticipated market opportunities, including DivX TV, may not materialize at expected levels, or at all; uncertainties related to the current macroeconomic climate; the risk that the Company's activities may not result in the growth of profitable revenues; risks related to the implementation of the acquisition of AnySource Media; the risk that the Company's financial performance for the first quarter of 2010 may not meet expectations; risks and uncertainties related to the maintenance and strength of the DivX brand; the Company's ability to penetrate existing and new markets; the effects of competition; the Company's dependence on its licensees and partners; the effect of intellectual property rights claims; risks relating to the Company's ability to integrate acquired businesses and technologies into its existing infrastructure; and other factors discussed in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent reports filed with the SEC. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures; GAAP EPS

DivX has provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes non-GAAP net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per diluted share, which excludes non-cash share-based compensation expense, litigation settlement gain, the amortization of purchased intangible assets, the foreign exchange impact of our Euro-denominated intercompany loan, the AnySource acquisition contingent consideration, and the non-cash charge related to the change in value of certain deferred tax assets. This non-GAAP information is provided to enhance the reader's overall understanding of our current financial performance and prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe this information provides useful comparative data by excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense, which is not consistent from period-to-period. Also, we believe that the exclusion of the litigation settlement gain, amortization of purchased intangible assets, the AnySource acquisition contingent consideration, the foreign exchange impact of our Euro-denominated intercompany loan, and the change in value of certain tax deferred assets provides useful comparative data by reflecting our business operations in a manner that is consistent with expected future operations. Management has historically used non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per diluted share when evaluating operating performance because we believe the exclusion of the items described above provides an additional measure of our core operating results and facilitates comparisons of our core operating performance against prior periods and our business model objectives. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

We will continue to evaluate the factors that might impact non-cash share-based compensation expense and accruals for income tax provision. The non-cash share-based compensation expense is expected to vary depending on the number of new grants issued to both current and new employees, and changes in the Company's stock price, stock market volatility, expected option life, and risk-free interest rates (all of which are difficult to estimate). In addition, the factors that impact our deferred tax assets are expected to vary from period-to-period, also making our effective tax rate difficult to estimate.
