RealD Inc. Reports Financial Results for First Quarter of Fiscal 2013

LOS ANGELES (July 30, 2012) - RealD Inc. (NYSE: RLD), a leading global licensor of 3D technologies, today announced financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2013 ended June 22, 2012.

First Quarter Financial Highlights

Revenue

·                  Revenue was $68.2 million, an increase of 14% from $59.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

·                  Net license revenue was $41.2 million, an increase of 15% from $35.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

·                  Product and other revenue was $27.0 million, an increase of 13% from $23.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

GAAP Net Income Results

·                  GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders was $3.0 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $9.6 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

·                  The year-over-year decrease in GAAP net income was largely attributable to a $5.9 million decline in “Product and Other” gross profits that resulted from a significantly reduced mix of recycled 3D eyewear shipped to RealD-equipped theaters during the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

·                  A higher effective tax rate of 61% in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 also contributed to the year-over-year decline in GAAP net income and net income per diluted share.

Non-GAAP Results

·                  Adjusted EBITDA was $23.2 million, a decrease of 11% compared to $26.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.  The decrease was largely attributable to a decrease in “Product and Other” gross profits from 3D eyewear.

·                  Adjusted EBITDA decreased to 34% of net revenue from 44% of net revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

·                  Adjusted EBITDA is defined within the section of this press release entitled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” which includes a reconciliation to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flows and Stock Repurchases

·                  As of June 22, 2012, the Company’s balance sheet included total cash and cash equivalents of $45.5 million, an increase of $20.6 million from March 23, 2012.  Total debt as of June 22, 2012 remained unchanged at $25.0 million.

·                  Cash flows from operating activities were $27.8 million and total capital expenditures were $7.8 million, resulting in free cash flow of $20.0 million.

·                  The Company defines free cash flow, a Non-GAAP measure, as cash flows from operating activities less total capital expenditures in a given period.  Total capital expenditures include purchases of cinema systems and related components as well as purchases of property and equipment.

·                  The Company repurchased 133,987 common shares during the quarter for $1.6 million, resulting in an average cost of $11.84 per share repurchased.

“The first quarter marked a solid increase in license revenue year-over-year, highlighting the continued strength of our premium cinema format on a global basis,” said Michael V. Lewis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of RealD.  “However, our bottom-line comparison versus the prior-year quarter was impacted by a $5.9 million decline in our product gross profits that resulted from a significantly reduced mix of recycled eyewear shipped to RealD-equipped theaters during the quarter.  Nonetheless, during the quarter our business generated $20 million in free cash flow, consistent with our expectation that RealD will generate strong cash flows during fiscal 2013 as our spending on capital expenditures moderates.”

Key Metrics and International Revenue Statistics

·                  International markets generated 56% of license revenue compared to 58% of license revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

·                  As of June 22, 2012, the Company had deployed approximately 20,700 RealD-enabled screens, an increase of 18% from approximately 17,500 screens as of June 24, 2011, and an increase of 500 screens, or 2%, from approximately 20,200 screens as of March 23, 2012.

·                  As of June 22, 2012, the Company had approximately 12,000 domestic screens at approximately 2,700 domestic theater locations and approximately 8,700 international screens at approximately 2,500 international theater locations.

Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking information and statements, including but not limited to: statements concerning anticipated future financial and operating performance; RealD’s ability to continue to derive substantial revenue from the licensing of RealD’s 3D technologies for use in the motion picture industry, as well as RealD’s relationships with consumer electronics manufacturers and its ability to generate substantial revenue from the licensing of RealD’s 3D technologies for use in the 3D consumer electronics market; 3D motion picture releases and conversions scheduled for fiscal 2013 ending March 22, 2013, their commercial success and consumer preferences; our ability to increase the number of RealD-enabled screens in domestic and international markets and market share; our ability to supply our solutions to our customers on a timely basis; RealD’s relationships with its exhibitor and studio partners and the business model for 3D eyewear in North America; the progress, timing and amount of expenses associated with RealD’s research and development activities; market and industry trends, including growth in 3D content; RealD’s projected operating results; and competitive pressures in domestic and international markets. These statements are based on our management’s current expectations and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events. Such forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside our management’s control that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.  The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended March 23, 2012 and other documents filed with the SEC include a more detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

RealD undertakes no obligation to update publicly the information contained in this press release, or any forward-looking statements, to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date they were made, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement RealD’s financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, RealD provides Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its performance.   The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), plus net interest expense, income and other taxes, and depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of share based compensation expense, exhibitor option expense and certain other items not considered by RealD management to be indicative of the company’s core operating performance.

RealD presents Adjusted EBITDA in reporting its financial results to provide investors with additional tools to evaluate RealD’s operating results in a manner that focuses on what RealD’s management believes to be its ongoing business operations.  RealD’s management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider any such Non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Adjusted EBITDA is used by management for planning purposes, including: the preparation of internal budgets, forecasts and strategic plans; in analyzing the effectiveness of business strategies; to evaluate potential acquisitions; in making compensation decisions; and in communications with its Board of Directors concerning financial performance. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.  Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments.  Adjusted EBITDA also differs from the amounts calculated under the similarly titled definition in our credit agreement, which is further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and is used to determine compliance with financial covenants and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt and making certain restricted payments.
