ACTON, Mass. (Dec. 5, 2013) SeaChange International, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEAC), a leading global multi-screen video software innovator, today reported third quarter fiscal 2014 revenue of $37.8 million and non-GAAP operating income of $2.9 million, or $0.09 per fully diluted share, from continuing operations. In comparison, third quarter fiscal 2013 revenue was $39.2 million and non-GAAP operating income was $2.9 million, or $0.09 per fully diluted share, from continuing operations. The Company posted U.S. GAAP operating income of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to a U.S. GAAP operating loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 of $1.6 million, or $0.05 per fully diluted share. The Company's U.S. GAAP third quarter fiscal 2014 results include charges of $2.4 million that are excluded from our non-GAAP results, which consisted primarily of stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets from prior acquisitions.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2014, the Company posted revenues of $110.7 million and non-GAAP operating income of $7.5 million, compared to revenues of $112.6 million and non-GAAP operating income of $6.4 million in the same prior period. The Company posted a GAAP operating loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 of approximately $0.8 million, compared to a GAAP operating loss of $10.3 million for the same prior period.

We continue to execute on our plan to deliver our new generation of products globally, which have grown 62 percent year over year to represent 45 percent of all product revenues, compared to 25 percent a year ago, said Raghu Rau, CEO, SeaChange. We are also pleased to announce the commercial launch of our Adrenalin multi-screen platform by a large European telco and a Scandinavian cable operator during the quarter. Our Infusion advanced advertising platform, integrated with Adrenalin, was launched by a large European service provider last week.

Our opportunity funnel remains very robust and we continue to respond to strong interest in our Nucleus gateway software and Adrenalin by many of the world's leading operators, Rau continued. However, we continue to experience some delays in receiving final product acceptances and some agreements expected for the third and fourth quarter are experiencing delays in signing due to expanded scope and the complex nature of the customer decision making process, which involves the customer selecting multiple vendors.

Commenting on the Company's outlook, Anthony Dias, Chief Financial Officer, stated, We anticipate that our fourth quarter fiscal 2014 revenue will be in the range of $40 million to $45 million and non-GAAP operating income, on a fully diluted share basis, will be in the range of $0.15 to $0.20 per share, reflecting the anticipated delays in receiving customer acceptances of new products and finalization of agreements for Nucleus and Adrenalin.

SeaChange ended the third quarter of fiscal 2014 with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $126.4 million.
