Avid Announces Strong First Quarter 2016 Financial Results Driven by New Product Innovation and Efficiency Gains
Solid Quarterly Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Growth
Adjusted Free Cash Flow In Line with Guidance
Companywide Cost Efficiencies Program on Track & Yielding Results
Avid Everywhere Momentum Builds with Continued Shift towards Recurring Revenue and Increased Media Central Platform Adoption
BURLINGTON, Mass, May 4, 2016 Avid® (Nasdaq:AVID) announced its first quarter 2016 financial results today, provided second quarter 2016 financial guidance and reaffirmed its guidance for the full year 2016.
Q1 2016 Non-GAAP Highlights
• | Revenue grew by 20.3% over Q1 2015 to $143.8 million |
• | Gross margin of 71.2% represents an expansion of 10.7 percentage points over Q1 2015 |
• | Adjusted EBITDA of $38.5 million increased by 227% over Q1 2015, reflecting improved revenue conversion and impact of efficiency program |
• | Adjusted free cash flow use of $9.4 million, in line with original guidance for Q1 |
• | Reported bookings of $92.5 million below original expectations driven by: |
◦ | Delayed buying decisions for shared storage solutions in anticipation of Avid’s next generation NEXIS shared storage release |
◦ | Volatility from the ongoing transition of the broader enterprise media market |
Avid Everywhere Momentum Continues
• | Over 35,800 users on the MediaCentral platform at the end of March 31st, 2016, an increase of 51% year on year |
• | Nearly 35,000 paying subscribers as of the end of Q1 2016, an increase of over 38% since the beginning of the year and over 3X Q1 2015 |
• | Bookings attributable to recurring revenue (“recurring revenue bookings”) represented approximately 34% of total Q1 2016 bookings, up from 29% in 2015 |
“Our work so far in 2016 demonstrates the continued momentum of the Avid Everywhere strategy, the increased adoption of the Avid MediaCentral Platform by our global base of customers and strong progress as we move steadily towards completing the transformation,” said Louis Hernandez, Jr, Chairman, President, and CEO of Avid. “I’m excited to see the impact of our groundbreaking product innovations that we launched earlier this month at the National Association of Broadcasters conference, including the first of its kind NEXIS shared storage, which
won Best of Show and ProTools cloud collaboration, which brings the power of the MediaCentral platform to the entire audio creative market. At AvidConnect, we were also excited to showcase the first certified applications from our partners and a deep platform integration with Adobe’s Premiere Pro editing solution, validating our strategy and welcoming an outstanding partner to the platform. We also continue to execute our efficiency program as expected, which leverages our platform-based approach to achieve a leaner and more directed cost structure. As more customers fully embrace the power of the platform in 2016, we expect that we will be well positioned to increase long-term sustainable shareholder value.”
Avid’s 2016 second quarter financial guidance is set forth in the table below. The Company also re-affirmed its full year 2016 guidance, as originally provided on March 15, 2016. The second quarter 2016 guidance reflects partial year realization of the cost efficiency program, as well as the cash spend required to implement the program during the first half of 2016. The previously announced growth initiatives are expected to have a more pronounced positive financial impact in the second half of 2016 leading to improved cash flow generation.
