Included in third quarter of 2011 results is $2.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share net of tax, in stock-based compensation expense and $345,000, or $0.01 per diluted share net of tax, in amortization of intangible assets. For the nine-month period, income from continuing operations increased 26% to $11.2 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to $8.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, reported in the same period of 2010
The Company achieved non-GAAP operating margins of 34% and non-GAAP income from continuing operations of $4.5 million, or $0.26 per diluted share net of tax, in the third quarter of 2011, excluding the above-mentioned charges. This compares to non-GAAP operating margins of 36% and non-GAAP income from continuing operations of $4.6 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, reported in the third quarter of 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 the Company achieved non-GAAP operating margins of 38% and non-GAAP income from continuing operations of $15.8 million, or $0.89 per diluted share net of tax.

The Company generated $14.5 million in cash flow from operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and closed the third quarter with $88.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments. During the quarter, DTS repurchased 500,000 shares, bringing the total to 800,000 in 2011 under the current 1.0 million share repurchase program. In total, the Company has used approximately $102 million to repurchase 3.8 million shares of stock since inception.
The GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 can be found in the "Non-GAAP Financial Metrics" schedule attached to this press release.
"We made good progress in the third quarter on a number of key initiatives, and are well positioned to achieve our full year revenue expectations," commented Jon Kirchner, chairman and CEO of DTS, Inc. "We posted strong growth in the network connected markets as we continue to diversify our business and saw continued expansion of the Blu-ray PC and stand-alone player markets. As expected, our third quarter auto and AV revenue reflected slight production issues related to the Japan earthquake, which we believe are now behind us.
"In the quarter, we continued to see strong Hollywood support of DTS-HD Master Audio™ on Blu-ray disc. We also made key announcements with Adobe, Rovi, and Digital Rapids and more recently we saw the soft launch of the new UltraViolet format. These announcements further demonstrate our expansion into network-connected devices and the tools necessary to support emerging cloud-based content ecosystems. More announcements in this area are expected over the coming months and prior to our next call.
"We expect strong sequential growth in the fourth quarter driven by continuing strength in our Blu-ray and network-connected markets and a rebound in the game console and automotive markets. We also expect closure on several royalty recovery matters that will positively impact revenues in the fourth quarter.
"As a result, we are maintaining our 2011 revenue outlook of $95 to $100 million. We expect non-GAAP operating margins to be approximately 40%, and non-GAAP EPS in the range of $1.30 to $1.42 per diluted share, excluding the impact of both stock based compensation and amortization of intangibles, and the estimated tax impact of those items. Stock-based compensation expense will be in the range of $0.32 to $0.34 per share net of tax in 2011. On a GAAP basis, operating margins will be approximately 30%, and EPS in the range of $0.94 to $1.05 cents per diluted share," concluded Kirchner.
