Avid Announces Results for Fourth Quarter 2011
Reports First Quarterly GAAP Net Income Since 2007

BURLINGTON, MA— February 7, 2012—Avid® (NASDAQ: AVID) today reported revenues of $185.3 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2011, compared to $195.3 million for the same period in 2010. The GAAP net income for the fourth quarter was $1.2 million or $0.03 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $571,000 or $0.01 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2010.
 
The GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 and GAAP net loss for 2010 included amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, gain on asset sales in 2010 only,  restructuring and other charges, and related tax adjustments collectively totaling $13.4 million and $14.8 million, respectively. Excluding these items, the non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $14.6 million, or $0.38 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $14.2 million, or $0.37 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2010.
 
“Our results for the fourth quarter were encouraging and reflect our continued efforts to streamline our operations and improve execution across the business,” said Gary Greenfield, chairman and CEO of Avid.   “For the quarter, we reported positive GAAP net income for the first time since 2007, positive cash flow from operations and the highest gross margin as a percent of revenue since 2005. In addition, we have implemented the restructuring we announced in October and expect to see additional benefit from these actions in 2012.  We continue to identify and implement changes across the Company to help improve our operational performance and remain sharply focused on improving profitability while driving revenue growth.”
 
Revenues for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011 were $677.9 million, compared to revenues of $678.5 million for the same period in 2010. The GAAP net loss for 2011 was $23.8 million, or $0.62 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $37.0 million, or $0.98 per share, for 2010. The GAAP net loss for 2011 and 2010 included $34.0 million and $46.2 million, respectively, of amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring and other charges, gain or loss on sales of assets, legal settlements, acquisition-related costs and related tax adjustments.  Excluding these items, the non-GAAP net income for 2011 was $10.2 million, or $0.26 per share, compared to a non-GAAP net income of $9.2 million, or $0.24 per share, for 2010.
 
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in the tables attached to this release.

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. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. 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.  Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.  The reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is in the tables attached to this press release.
 
Management considers both GAAP and non-GAAP financial results in managing our business.  Non-GAAP financial measures are used internally, for example, in establishing annual operating budgets, in assessing operating performance and for measuring performance under incentive compensation plans. Non-GAAP financial measures are also used in operating and financial decision-making because we believe these measures reflect our ongoing business and allow meaningful period-to-period comparisons. We believe it is useful for investors and others to also review both GAAP and non-GAAP measures in order to understand and evaluate our current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management and to compare in a consistent manner the company’s current financial results with past financial performance. The primary limitations associated with our use of non-GAAP financial measures are that they may not include all items of income and expense that affect our operations and that the non-GAAP financial measures we use may not be directly comparable to those reported by other companies. For example, terms referring to non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release, such as non-GAAP net income, do not have standardized meanings.  Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of our performance in relation to other companies.   We seek to compensate for this limitation by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables attached to this press release.
 
Use of Forward-Looking Statements
The financial results included in this release are unaudited.  The contents of this release are subject to the completion and filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K which will reflect our audited results. This release may include forward-looking statements, as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements in this press release that relate to future results or events are forward-looking statements and are based on Avid’s current estimates and assumptions.  Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking words, such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “should,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “confidence,” “may,” “plan,” “feel,” “could,” “will,” and “would,” or similar expressions. Actual results and events in future periods may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements because of a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including: such as Avid’s ability to execute its strategic plan and meet customer needs; itsability to produce innovative products in response to changing market demand, particularly in the media industry; competitive factors; fluctuations in its revenue, based on, among other things, Avid’s performance in particular geographies, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and seasonal factors, such as higher consumer demand at year-end; adverse changes in economic conditions; Avid’s liquidity; and other risk factors and uncertainties disclosed previously and from time to time in Avid’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
