DTS Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2015 Financial Results
CALABASAS, Calif., March 02, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DTS, Inc. (Nasdaq:DTSI), a leader in high-definition audio solutions and audio enhancement technologies, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
Our fourth quarter results were solid, driven by higher than anticipated revenue contributions from iBiquity and strong game console production, said Jon Kirchner, chairman and CEO, DTS, Inc. Although 2015 was a challenging year, we maintained our focus on the network-connected markets where we materially advanced the development of ecosystems for our mobile and wireless audio solutions. Last week at Mobile World Congress, the Jade 2 smartphone from Acer became the worlds first global smartphone to incorporate both Play-Fi and Headphone:X . Additionally, the acquisition of iBiquity has expanded our footprint in the automotive markets, increased the scale and profitability of our business, and strengthened our best-in-class suite of audio solutions, positioning us for continued growth in 2016 and beyond.

In 2016, stock-based compensation expense is expected to be in the range of $0.52 to $0.53 per diluted share net of tax and amortization of intangibles is expected to be in the range of $0.87 to $0.89 per diluted share net of tax.
