ACTON, Mass. SeaChange International, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEAC), a leading global multi-screen video software innovator, today reported first quarter fiscal 2014 revenue of $35.6 million and non-GAAP operating income of $1.2 million, or $0.04 per fully diluted share, from continuing operations. In comparison, first quarter fiscal 2013 revenue was $36.6 million and non-GAAP operating income was $2.3 million, or $0.07 per fully diluted share, from continuing operations. The Company posted a U.S. GAAP operating loss of $1.8 million, or $0.05 per basic share for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to a U.S. GAAP loss from operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 of $1.2 million, or $0.04 per basic share. The Company's U.S. GAAP first quarter fiscal 2014 results include non-GAAP charges of $3.0 million, which consisted primarily of stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets from prior acquisitions.

We're pleased to have achieved the high end of our guidance for the first quarter chiefly through new product contribution and increased product licensing revenue, which boosted gross margins, said Raghu Rau, Chief Executive Officer, SeaChange. The results reflect the market traction SeaChange continues to achieve with our new generation of software, which drove new product revenue growth of 70 percent over last year's first quarter.

Rau continued, SeaChange is showcasing its new technologies at the NCTA's Cable Show next week in Washington, D.C. and senior executives of the world's largest service providers are expected to witness how our software product strategy with advancements such as our Adrenalin multi-screen video platform, Infusion advertising platform and Nucleus Soft Box gateway is enabling our customers to deliver innovative revenue generating services.

Commenting on the Company's outlook, Anthony Dias, Interim Chief Financial Officer, stated, We anticipate that our second quarter fiscal 2014 revenue will be in the range of $37 million to $40 million and non-GAAP operating income, on a fully diluted share basis, will be in the range of $0.07 to $0.10 per share. Our guidance on a full year basis for fiscal 2014 remains unchanged with revenue expected to be in the range of $165 million to $175 million and non-GAAP operating income, on a fully diluted share basis, expected to be in the range of $0.53 to $0.71 per share.

SeaChange generated $3.1 million in cash from continuing operations and ended the first quarter of fiscal 2014 with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $122.3 million.
