SEACHANGE INTERNATIONAL REPORTS

SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2018 RESULTS

Company improves EPS guidance and adjusts revenue guidance amid transition to subscription revenue model

ACTON, Mass. (September 6, 2017) – SeaChange International, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEAC) today reported second quarter fiscal 2018 revenue of $17.2 million and U.S. GAAP loss from operations of $2.1 million, or $0.06 per basic share, compared to second quarter fiscal 2017 revenue of $18.5 million and U.S. GAAP loss from operations of $11.7 million, or $0.33 per basic share.

The Company’s U.S. GAAP second quarter fiscal 2018 results included non-GAAP charges of $1.1 million, which consisted primarily of severance and other restructuring costs of $0.6 million, stock-based compensation of $0.7 million, amortization of intangible assets from prior acquisitions of $0.6 million and a reduction of $0.8 million in the previously recorded provision for loss contract, while the second quarter fiscal 2017 results included $4.1 million of non-GAAP charges. The non-GAAP loss from operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 was $1.0 million, or $0.03 per basic share, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2017 non-GAAP loss from operations of $7.6 million, or $0.21 per basic share.

For the first six months of fiscal 2018, the Company reported revenue of $33.9 million and a U.S. GAAP loss from operations of $7.6 million, or $0.22 per basic share, compared to revenue of $40.0 million and a U.S.GAAP loss from operations of $21.2 million, or $0.61 per basic share in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The non-GAAP loss from operations for the first six months of fiscal 2018 was $2.7 million, or $0.08 per basic share, compared to a non-GAAP loss from operations of $14.4 million, or $0.41 per basic share, in the first half of fiscal 2017.

Ed Terino, Chief Executive Officer, SeaChange, said, “In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we saw continued success with existing and new customers for IP video and cloud-based deployments, including the first sale of our new NitroX platform. We are continuing to generate green field customer opportunities globally for our end-to-end subscription solution, with yet another new multi-million dollar transaction in the quarter, which provides stronger support for revenue growth next year. Because larger transactions are moving to a subscription model, we are narrowing and lowering our annual revenue guidance at this point, but improving bottom-line expectations that include achieving a return to profitability in the second half of this fiscal year.”

Peter Faubert, Chief Financial Officer, SeaChange, said, “The second fiscal quarter represented good progress in achieving improved gross margins and lower operating expenses. Our revenue came in within our guidance range, despite some pressure from the increase in subscription model revenues, but as importantly, our non-GAAP EPS results were at the high end of the guidance range. Our GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit margin improved sequentially, reaching 66 percent and 63 percent, respectively, providing further evidence of our ability to achieve our goal of attaining non-GAAP gross profit margins in the low 60s on a recurring basis, especially as our revenue mix continues to transition from perpetual licenses to a subscription or SaaS model.”

Faubert added, “In terms of cost savings from the restructuring initiatives we have implemented, we remain on target to achieve a total of $38 million in cost savings on an annual run-rate basis, including approximately $17 million to $18 million in annual run-rate savings in fiscal 2018 alone. We remain focused on returning the company to profitability as well as revenue growth in the second half of fiscal 2018. Despite the top-line pressure from the transition to subscription or SaaS-based revenue models for more opportunities, we continue to believe this evolution will improve both the visibility into and predictability of our revenue growth.”

SeaChange ended the second quarter of fiscal 2018 with cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of approximately $36 million, and no debt outstanding.

Outlook

SeaChange anticipates third quarter fiscal 2018 revenue to be in the range of $19 million to $21 million, U.S. GAAP loss from operations to be in the range of $0.04 to $0.01 per basic share, and non-GAAP income from operations to be in the range of $0.00 to $0.03 per diluted share. For full fiscal 2018, SeaChange has lowered and narrowed its expectations to revenue in the range of $75 million to $80 million, U.S. GAAP loss from operations in the range of $0.28 to $0.23 per basic share and non-GAAP operating income in the range of a loss of $0.03 per basic share to income of $0.02 per diluted share.

These GAAP estimates are subject to a number of variables that are outside of management’s control, including the size of restructuring expenses, which are influenced by the timing of certain non-U.S. restructuring activities, and stock price fluctuations. The Company has made no provision for restructuring expense in its outlook for the third quarter of fiscal 2018.

Non-GAAP Measures.

We define non-GAAP (loss) income from operations as U.S. GAAP operating loss plus stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, provision for loss contract, earn-outs and change in fair value of earn-outs, non-operating expense professional fees and severance and other restructuring costs. We discuss non-GAAP (loss) income from operations in our quarterly earnings releases and certain other communications as we believe non-GAAP operating (loss) income from operations is an important measure that is not calculated according to U.S. GAAP. We use non-GAAP (loss) income from operations in internal forecasts and models when establishing internal operating budgets, supplementing the financial results and forecasts reported to our Board of Directors, determining a component of bonus compensation for executive officers and other key employees based on operating performance and evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in our operations. We believe that the non-GAAP (loss) income from operations financial measure assists in providing an enhanced understanding of our underlying operational measures to manage the business, to evaluate performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals. We believe that the non-GAAP financial adjustments are useful to investors because they allow investors to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in our financial and operational decision-making.

Non-GAAP (loss) income from operations is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. We expect to continue to incur expenses similar to the financial adjustments described above in arriving at non-GAAP (loss) income from operations and investors should not infer from our presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.

In managing and reviewing our business performance, we exclude a number of items required by U.S. GAAP. Management believes that excluding these items is useful in understanding the trends and managing our operations. We provide these supplemental non-GAAP measures in order to assist the investment community in seeing SeaChange through the “eyes of management,” and therefore enhance the understanding of SeaChange’s operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, not as an alternative to, our reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:

Provision for Loss Contract. We entered a fixed-price customer contract on a multi-year arrangement, which included multiple vendors. As the system integrator on the project, we are subject to any cost overruns or increases with these vendors resulting in delays of acceptance by our customer. Delays of customer acceptance on this project result in incremental expenditures and require us to recognize a loss on this project in the period the determination is made. As a result, we recorded an estimated charge of $9.2 million in fiscal 2016. Subsequently, because of changes in the scope of the project and negotiations with the fixed-price customer, we recorded adjustments since fiscal 2016 totaling $4.7 million to reduce this provision. We believe that the exclusion of this line item amount, which is recorded in cost of revenues – service, allows a comparison of operating results that would otherwise impair comparability between periods.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. We incur amortization expense of intangible assets related to various acquisitions that have been made in recent years. These intangible assets are valued at the time of acquisition, are then amortized over a period of several years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the acquisition. We believe that exclusion of these expenses allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for the Company’s newly-acquired and long-held businesses.

Stock-based Compensation Expense. We incur expenses related to stock-based compensation included in our U.S. GAAP presentation of cost of revenues and operating expenses. Although stock-based compensation is an expense we incur and is viewed as a form of compensation, the expense varies in amount from period to period, and is affected by market forces that are difficult to predict and are not within the control of management, such as the market price and volatility of our shares, risk-free interest rates and the expected term and forfeiture rates of the awards.

Earn-outs and Change in Fair Value of Earn-outs. Earn-outs and the change in the fair value of earn-outs are considered by management to be non-recurring expenses to the former shareholders of the businesses we acquire. We also incur expenses due to changes in fair value related to contingent consideration that we believe would otherwise impair comparability among periods.

Professional Fees - Other. We have excluded the effect of legal and other professional costs associated with our acquisitions, divestitures, litigation and strategic alternatives because the amounts are considered significant non-operating expenses.

Severance and Other Restructuring Costs. We incur charges due to the restructuring of our business, including severance charges and facility reductions resulting from our restructuring and streamlining efforts and any changes due to revised estimates, which we generally would not have otherwise incurred in the periods presented as part of our continuing operations.

The following table includes the reconciliations of our U.S. GAAP loss from operations, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, to our non-GAAP (loss) income from operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016 (amounts in thousands, except per share and percentage data):
