(Logo: https://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081124/LA48153LOGO )
Highlights in 2008 include:
— $0.59 non-GAAP earnings per share for 2008, up from $0.57 a year earlier
— $29.0 million non-GAAP operating income for full year 2008

— EBITDA margins at 34% for full year 2008
“Despite a slowing economy, DivX continued to deliver positive business results in Q4, as well as for the full year 2008,” stated Kevin Hell, Chief Executive Officer of DivX. “In addition, we simultaneously developed the products and markets that we believe will enable future growth, including new device categories such as mobile and digital televisions, and an entirely new, high definition H.264 hardware and software offering. The economic headwinds will likely continue in 2009. However, we feel given our strong strategic assets and financial condition, we are uniquely positioned to deliver on the full promise of digital media where consumers have the freedom to enjoy high-quality digital content from any service on any device from any brand.”
The Company reported revenue for the fourth quarter of $23.2 million, a decrease of 5% compared to revenue of $24.5 million reported in the fourth quarter of last year.
GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of 2008 was approximately $2.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share. DivX generated non-GAAP net income of $4.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income and earnings per share exclude the following expenses: (1) non-cash share-based compensation of approximately $2.2 million ($1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, net of related taxes); (2) the scheduled amortization of purchased intangible assets related to MainConcept of $476,000 ($285,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, net of related taxes); and (3) intangible asset impairment charges of $632,000 ($379,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, net of related taxes).
The Company reported revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 of $93.9 million, an increase of 11% compared to revenue of $84.9 million reported in the same period of 2007. GAAP net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 was approximately $10.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share. DivX generated non-GAAP net income of $19.7 million, or $0.59 per diluted share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. Non-GAAP net income and earnings per share for the twelve month period excludes the following expenses: (1) non-cash share-based compensation of approximately $9.0 million ($5.4 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, net of related taxes); (2) Stage6 operating costs of $3.3 million ($2.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, net of related taxes); (3) intangible asset impairment charges of approximately $1.9 million ($1.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, net of related taxes); (4) the scheduled amortization of purchased intangible assets related to MainConcept of approximately $2.1 million ($1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, net of related taxes); and (5) the foreign exchange impact on a Euro-denominated intercompany loan of approximately $236,000 ($142,000, or less than one cent per diluted share, net of related taxes). The Company ended the full year 2008 with $135 million in cash and investments.
Dan Halvorson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added, “The fundamental earnings drivers of our business remain strong, although we expect to see the continued impact from lower spending on consumer electronics in 2009. We will continue to develop the products and markets that are critical to our long-term success, but also stay focused on our core operating principles of delivering high gross margins and positive cash flow.”

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this press release that are not strictly historical in nature constitute “forward-looking statements.” Such statements include, but are not limited to, the growth and earnings potential of the DivX business, the Company’s position in the digital media space, uncertainties contributing to the macroeconomic climate in 2009, and anticipated financial results for the first quarter of 2009. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause DivX’s actual results to be materially different from historical results or from any results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: the risk that customer use of DivX(R) technology may not grow as anticipated; the risk that anticipated market opportunities may not materialize at expected levels, or at all; the risk that the Company’s activities may not result in the growth of profitable revenue; the uncertainties surrounding the macroeconomic climate, the risk that the Company’s financial performance for the first quarter of 2009 may not meet expectations; risks and uncertainties related to the maintenance and strength of the DivX brand; DivX’s ability to penetrate existing and new markets; the effects of competition; DivX’s dependence on its licensees and partners; the effect of intellectual property rights claims; and other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of DivX’s most recent reports filed with the SEC. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. DivX is providing this information as of the date of this release and does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this release as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required under applicable securities laws.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures; GAAP EPS
DivX has provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share, which excludes non-cash share-based compensation expense, costs related to the operation of Stage6, asset impairment charges and amortization of purchased intangible assets and the foreign exchange impact on a Euro-denominated intercompany loan. This non-GAAP information is provided to enhance the reader’s overall understanding of our current financial performance and prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe this information provides useful comparative data by excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense, which is not consistent from period-to-period. Also, we believe that the exclusion of Stage6 expenses, of asset impairment charges and of amortization of purchased intangible assets and the foreign exchange impact of a Euro-denominated intercompany loan provides useful comparative data by reflecting our business operations in a manner that is consistent with expected future operations. Management has historically used non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share when evaluating operating performance because we believe the exclusion of the items described above provides an additional measure of our core operating results and facilitates comparisons of our core operating performance against prior periods and our business model objectives. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
We will continue to evaluate the factors that might impact non-cash share-based compensation expense and accruals for income tax expense. The non-cash share-based compensation expense is expected to vary depending on the number of new grants issued to both current and new employees, and changes in the Company’s stock price, stock market volatility, expected option life, and risk-free interest rates (all of which are difficult to estimate). In addition, the factors that impact our deferred tax assets are expected to vary from period-to-period, also making our effective tax rate difficult to estimate.
