Avid Announces Third Quarter 2010 Results,

BURLINGTON, MA., October 21, 2010 — Avid® (NASDAQ: AVID) today reported revenues of $165.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to $152.1 million for the same period in 2009. The GAAP net loss for the third quarter was $10.0 million, or $0.26 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $17.2 million, or $0.46 per share, in the third quarter of 2009.

The GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2010 included amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring and other charges, a gain on asset sales, acquisition-related costs, a legal settlement and related tax adjustments collectively totaling $11.6 million. Excluding these items, the non-GAAP net income was $1.6 million for the third quarter, or $0.04 per share.  The GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2009 included $17.0 million of amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring and other charges, loss on asset sales and related tax adjustments. Excluding these items, the non-GAAP net loss per share for the third quarter of 2009 was $0.01 per share

“We are pleased to report our strongest financial quarter since 2007 including a non-GAAP operating profit and strong year-over-year revenue growth,” said Gary Greenfield, chairman and CEO at Avid.  “The steady revenue growth trend in both Avid’s business and our customers’ businesses is encouraging and we remain focused on improving our profit margin.”

Revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 were $483.2 million, compared to revenues of $454.3 million for the same period in 2009. GAAP net loss for the first nine  months of 2010 was $36.4 million, or $0.96 per share, compared to GAAP net loss of $50.4 million, or $1.35 per share, for the same period in 2009. GAAP net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 included $31.4 million of amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring and other charges, a gain on asset sales, acquisition-related costs, a legal settlement and related tax adjustments. Excluding these items, the non-GAAP net loss was $5.0 million for the first nine-months of 2010, or $0.13 per share.  GAAP net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 was $50.4 million and included $39.1 million of amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring and other charges, loss on asset sales and related tax adjustments.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains “non-GAAP financial measures” under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. 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, or GAAP.  Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.  The reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures that we provide is in the tables attached to this press release.

We consider both GAAP and non-GAAP financial results in managing our business.  Non-GAAP financial measures are used internally, for example, in establishing annual operating budgets, in assessing operating performance and for measuring performance under incentive compensation plans. Non-GAAP financial measures are also used in operating and financial decision-making because we believe these measures reflect our ongoing business and allow meaningful period-to-period comparisons. We believe it is useful for investors and others to also review both GAAP and non-GAAP measures in order to understand and evaluate our current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management and to compare in a consistent manner the company’s current financial results with past financial performance. The primary limitations associated with our use of non-GAAP financial measures are that they may not include all items of income and expense that affect our operations and that the non-GAAP financial measures we use may not be directly comparable to those reported by other companies. For example, the terms used in this press release, non-GAAP operating profit and non-GAAP net income, do not have standardized meanings.  Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of our performance in relation to other companies.   We seek to compensate for this limitation 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.
