Monotype Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2014 Results

Company Increases Quarterly Dividend by 25 Percent

WOBURN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 12, 2015--Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: TYPE), a leading provider of typefaces, technology and expertise for creative applications and consumer devices, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended Dec. 31, 2014.

Fourth quarter 2014 highlights

  • Revenue for the quarter was $46.4 million, an increase of eight percent year over year.
  • Operating income was $13.4 million, or 29 percent of revenue.
  • Non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA was $18.7 million, or 40 percent of revenue.
  • Cash flow from operations was $14.3 million.

Full year 2014 highlights

  • Revenue for the year was $184.5 million, an increase of 11 percent year over year.
  • Operating income was $52.1 million, or 28 percent of revenue.
  • Non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA was $74.4 million, or 40 percent of revenue.
  • Cash flow from operations was $60.7 million.

“Monotype had a solid fourth quarter and full year. In 2014, we met our expected Web font revenue goals, acquired two companies, continued our expansion in automotive, and continued to innovate through new products and business models,” said Doug Shaw, president and chief executive officer. “We’re off to an exciting start, with the launch of the Monotype Spark solution and our acquisition of Swyft Media. Monotype Spark brings high-quality text to a wide range of memory-constrained devices, like wearables, medical devices and the Internet of Things. Swyft Media enables us to enter the fast-growing, millennial-dominated, consumer market of in-app, branded, mobile content where we see a great fit for our fonts to enhance personalization and self expression.”

Scott Landers, senior vice president and chief financial officer, said,“2014 was a year of significant progress, as we also invested in infrastructure to support future growth, returned $12 million to shareholders via dividends and repurchased $30 million of common stock. At the same time, we increased cash by almost $12 million compared to the prior year end. Although our financial guidance for 2015 anticipates currency headwinds in Europe, we still expect 2015 to be a year of continued progress.”

Fourth quarter 2014 operating results

Revenue for the quarter increased eight percent to $46.4 million, compared to $43.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2013.

Non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA was $18.7 million, or 40 percent of revenue, compared to $18.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2013.

A reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures for the three and 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2014 and 2013 is provided in the financial tables that accompany this release.

Cash and cash flow

Monotype had cash and cash equivalents of $90.3 million as of Dec. 31, 2014, compared to $82.6 million as of Sept. 30, 2014 and $78.4 million as of Dec. 31, 2013. The company generated $14.3 million of cash from operations in the fourth quarter of 2014 and $60.7 million for the full year 2014.

Quarterly dividend and share repurchase program

The last quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share of common stock was paid on Jan. 22, 2015. On Feb. 10, 2015, Monotype’s board of directors approved a 25 percent increase in the quarterly dividend from $0.08 to $0.10 per share, which will be paid on April 21, 2015 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 1, 2015.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, Monotype repurchased approximately 130,000 shares of common stock under the company’s repurchase program for an aggregate amount of approximately $3.6 million. Monotype purchased the shares on the open market at the prevailing market prices.


Financial outlook

For the first quarter of 2015, Monotype expects revenue in the range of $45.5 million to $48.5 million. The company anticipates first quarter 2015 non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA in the range of $16.5 million to $18.5 million, GAAP earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.15 to $0.19 and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.24 to $0.28.

For the full year 2015, Monotype continues to expect revenue to grow in line with the preliminary outlook provided during company’s third quarter 2014 earnings call, minus adjustments relating to foreign currencies and the acquisition of Swyft Media. Monotype now expects revenue growth to approximate seven percent, with revenue in the range of $195.0 million to $201.0 million. The company anticipates full year 2015 non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA in the range of $75.0 million to $79.0 million, GAAP earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.73 to $0.79 and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share in the range of $1.14 to $1.20. A reconciliation of these changes is provided in the financial tables that accompany this release.

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. Non-GAAP financial measures are used internally to manage the business, such as in establishing an annual operating budget and in reporting to lenders. Non-GAAP financial measures are used by Monotype management in its operating and financial decision-making because management believes these measures reflect ongoing business in a manner that allows meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Accordingly, Monotype believes it is useful for investors and others to review both GAAP and non-GAAP measures in order to (a) understand and evaluate 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 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 operations. Monotype management compensates for these limitations by considering the company’s financial results and outlook 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 the tables attached to this press release.


Forward-looking statements

This press release may contain forward-looking statements including those related to future revenues and operating results, the growth of the company’s Creative Professional business and OEM business, the execution of the company’s growth strategy and anticipated business momentum that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the company’s actual results to differ materially. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: risks associated with changes in the economic climate, including decreased demand for fonts or products that incorporate the company’s solutions; risks associated with the company’s ability to integrate products, services and employees from acquired companies in a timely manner or at all; risks associated with changes in the financial markets, including the availability of credit; risks associated with increased competition, which may result in the company losing customers or force it to reduce prices; risks associated with the development and market acceptance of new products, product features or services; risks associated with the company’s ability to adapt its products or services to new markets and to anticipate and quickly respond to evolving technologies and customer requirements; and risks associated with the ownership and enforcement of the company’s intellectual property. Additional disclosure regarding these and other risks faced by the company is available in the company’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2014 and subsequent filings. The forward-looking financial information set forth in this press release reflects estimates based on information available at this time. These amounts could differ from actual reported amounts stated in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2014. While Monotype may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if an estimate changes.
