MAKEMUSIC, INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2011 RESULTS
18% Increase in SmartMusic Revenue in Q311 Compared to Prior Year
Minneapolis – November 2, 2011 – MakeMusic, Inc. (NASDAQ: MMUS) announced financial results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011.
“SmartMusic® revenue grew 18% compared to the third quarter of 2010, while notation revenue was impacted by the shift in timing of the Finale® 2012 release from summer to early fall,” said Karen van Lith, MakeMusic CEO. “Finale 2012 launched successfully on October 7th and initial response to the new release has been very positive.”
Van Lith continued: “We continue to make progress on several initiatives related to modernizing our applications and leveraging our library of repertoire content. Our balance sheet continues to be strong, and we have the resources to execute on corporate initiatives to drive growth.”
Financial Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011, Compared to September 30, 2010
| • | Net revenues were $3.8 million, compared to $4.5 million. |
| • | Notation revenue was $1.6 million, compared to $2.7 million. The decrease was related to the delay in the release of Finale 2012. |
| • | SmartMusic revenue was $2.2 million compared to $1.8 million. |
| • | Gross Profit was $3.0 million, or 79% of revenue, compared to $3.8 million, or 83% of revenue. |
| • | Operating expenses were $3.3 million in both periods. |
| • | Net loss was $205,000, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $241,000, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share. |
| • | At September 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents was $9.9 million, compared to $9.8 million as of September 30, 2010. |
Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011, Compared to September 30, 2010
| • | Net revenues were $11.1 million, compared to $12.3 million. |
| • | Notation revenue was $5.7 million, compared to $7.7 million. |
| • | SmartMusic revenue was $5.5 million compared to $4.6 million. |

SmartMusic® Subscriptions Report Update
“As of September 2011, we discontinued the issuance of our monthly SmartMusic report as we believe it’s more appropriate to evaluate subscriptions sold as an indicator of growth of the business,” said van Lith. “Unless renewals of bulk subscriptions are exactly timed by the educator to be every 12 months, an ‘active subscription’ measure as previously reported will have either overlaps or gaps that are not indicative of gains or losses.”
