DTS Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2016 Financial Results



DTS Raises Fiscal 2016 Revenue and Earnings Outlook and Announces First Quarterly Dividend

CALABASAS, Calif., Aug. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DTS, Inc. (Nasdaq: DTSI), a leader in high-definition audio solutions and audio enhancement technologies, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

"We had a strong second quarter driven by solid performance in automotive and continued momentum across the mobile markets. We also renewed several contracts in the home category and saw additional penetration of DTS:X in the AVR market. As a result of this strong performance, we are raising the low end of our full year 2016 revenue outlook and increasing our earnings outlook to reflect our confidence in the second half of 2016," said Jon Kirchner, chairman and CEO of DTS.

Kirchner continued, "Importantly, our business continues to generate improving operating margins and strong cash flow, and we are focused on optimizing our balance sheet and cash flow to generate value for shareholders. As a result, our Board of Directors has approved the addition of a quarterly cash dividend to our capital allocation strategy. Under this program, the initial quarterly dividend has been set at $0.02 per share. This is an important milestone and reiterates our commitment to growing the business through continued investments in our technology portfolio, and responsibly returning capital to shareholders through dividends and opportunistic share repurchases. These actions reflect our confidence in the future of DTS and our ability to create long-term value."

The GAAP and non-GAAP reconciling items for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 can be found in the "Non-GAAP Financial Metrics" schedule attached to this press release and on the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at www.dts.com.

Business Outlook

As a result of better-than-expected performance in the second quarter, the Company is revising its outlook for the full year 2016. The Company now expects revenue in the range of $185 to $190 million. The Company expects growth in 2016 to come from the mobile and automotive markets.

On a GAAP basis, the Company expects operating margins in the range of 10% to 15% and diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.70 to $0.80. The Company expects non-GAAP operating margins in the low-to-mid 30s and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the range of $2.18 to $2.28.

This outlook is based on a number of assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable at the time of this press release. Information regarding potential risks that could cause the actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements is set forth below and in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Cash Dividend

The Company declared a cash dividend of $0.02 per common share to be paid on August 31, 2016 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 22, 2016.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Included within this press release are non-GAAP financial measures that supplement the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures adjust the Company's actual results prepared under GAAP by excluding charges and the related estimated income tax effects for stock-based compensation, the amortization of intangible assets, and acquisition, integration, and restructuring related costs. Over the past several years, the Company's GAAP tax rate has varied substantially. As a result of recent international restructurings, management believes the most appropriate measure for its estimated annual effective tax rate is approximately 30% and as such, a 30% tax rate has been used in the computation of non-GAAP net income. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP amounts for the periods presented herein are provided in schedules accompanying this release and should be considered together with the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These non-GAAP measures are not meant as a substitute for GAAP, but are included solely for informational and comparative purposes. The Company's management believes that this information can assist investors in evaluating the Company's operational trends, financial performance, and cash generating capacity. Management believes these non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate DTS' financial performance using some of the same measures as management. However, the non-GAAP financial measures should not be regarded as a replacement for or superior to corresponding, similarly captioned, GAAP measures.
