In the first quarter of 2007, consolidated revenue was $20.2 million, an increase of 43 percent from the first quarter of 2006.

Jordan Greenhall, CEO and co-founder of DivX, Inc., said, “DivX continued to build on a successful 2006 with a very strong first quarter. As more and more consumers and consumer electronics manufacturers embrace DivX to improve the media experience, we move consistently closer to our goal of creating a common media language. The media world is in the earliest stages of a digital revolution, and we believe DivX is well-positioned to play a significant role as the future of the industry takes shape.”
John Tanner, chief financial officer of DivX, Inc., added, “Our success in the first quarter was driven by the continuing growth in technology licensing from CE devices around the world. Technology licensing revenue represented the highest quarterly revenue in the company’s history, leading to 95% gross margins and strong cash from operations. Our balance sheet improved again in the quarter with cash and equivalents of approximately $157 million, an increase of approximately $8 million from the previous quarter.”
