DTS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS

CALABASAS, Calif., May 09, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DTS, Inc. (Nasdaq:DTSI), a leader in high-definition audio solutions and audio enhancement technologies, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.

We are pleased with our first quarter performance, driven by further penetration in mobile and automotive, as well as slightly higher than expected royalty recoveries, said Jon Kirchner, chairman and CEO, DTS, Inc. These results set us up nicely to meet our expectations for 2016. Importantly, with the acquisition and integration of HD Radio complete, and our first full quarter together under our belts, we are already seeing the benefits with non-GAAP operating income growth of 58% year-over-year, a 37% increase in operating cash flow, and improving profit margins. Over the longer run, we believe we are strategically positioned to grow our footholds in the home, mobile device and automotive markets by building content support and selling the broadest suite of innovative end-to-end audio solutions. Our vision is to deliver the highest quality audio experience anywhere, anytime, on any device.

Business Outlook

For fiscal year 2016, the Company continues to expect revenue in the range of $180 to $190 million. The Company expects growth in 2016 to primarily come from the mobile and automotive markets.

The Company expects non-GAAP operating margins in the low-to-mid 30s and non-GAAP diluted EPS in the range of $2.10 to $2.25. On a GAAP basis, the Company expects operating margins in the range of 10% to 15% and diluted EPS in the range of $0.70 to $0.85.

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 Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Included within this press release are non-GAAP financial measures that supplement the Companys Consolidated Statements of Operations prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures adjust the Companys 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 realignment costs. Over the past several years, the Companys GAAP tax rate has varied substantially. As a result of the completion of an international restructuring in 2014, management believes the most appropriate measure for its estimated annual effective tax rate is approximately 30%. 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 Companys management believes that this information can assist investors in evaluating the Companys 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.
