Macrovision Corporation Reports Record Net Revenues and Earnings for Second Quarter
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 26, 1999--Macrovision Corporation announced today that second quarter 1999 net revenues were $8.1 million, compared with $5.7 million in the second quarter of 1998, an increase of 42%. Net income, excluding an in-process research and development write-off for the quarter, was $2.2 million or 65% higher than the $1.3 million recorded in last year's second quarter. Diluted earnings per share, excluding the in-process research and development write-off for the quarter, rose to $0.23 which was 35% higher than the diluted earnings per share of $0.17 in the second quarter a year ago. This increase occurred in spite of a 21% increase in shares used in computing diluted earnings per share, primarily due to the company's June 1998 secondary stock offering.

During the second quarter of 1999, Macrovision acquired the remaining outstanding shares in C-Dilla Ltd. for $12.3 million in cash and 109,200 shares of Macrovision stock. Including the $3.6 million Macrovision paid for its initial stake in C-Dilla Ltd. in 1998, the total acquisition was valued at $21.5 million. The acquisition of C-Dilla Ltd. resulted in a one time charge to operations of $4.3 million as a write-off of in-process research and development.

Net revenues for the first six months of 1999 increased to $15.2 million from $10.8 million for the first six months of 1998, an increase of 40%. Net income, excluding the in-process research and development write-off, for the first six months was $4.0 million, which was 74% higher than the $2.3 million recorded in the first six months of 1998. Diluted earnings per share, excluding the in-process research and development write-off, for the first six months of 1999 rose to $0.43, which was 43% higher than the earnings per share of $0.30 in the first six months of last year.

"We're very pleased with our second quarter results," said Bill Krepick, President and COO at Macrovision. "The home video industry continued on a high note for the Company with increased levels of revenue from all three product groups, videocassette, DVD and digital PPV. We are also very happy with the demand for SafeDisc(TM), our consumer multimedia software copy protection technology, which grew in excess of 118% over the first quarter. Our second quarter was important to us for a number of reasons including, the completion of the acquisition of C-Dilla Ltd. and the signing of Electronic Arts and Microsoft to SafeDisk contracts. The C-Dilla acquisition will provide the Company access to new technologies to help protect audio, software and data distributed via the Internet."

In other news, it was announced that Vic Viegas, the Company's CFO resigned effective August 1st to join a start-up company. Krepick complimented Viegas for his contributions to the Company during its pre and post IPO period, adding that "with Vic's leadership over the past three years he has built a strong Finance and Administrative group that is quite capable of carrying on as we fill his position. We wish him well."
