Monotype Imaging Announces Second Quarter 2010 Results

WOBURN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 30, 2010--Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: TYPE), a leading global provider of text imaging solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.

“Monotype Imaging delivered a solid second quarter, as we returned to double digit year-over-year revenue growth,” said Doug Shaw, president and chief executive officer. “We expect this trend to continue into the third quarter across all areas of our business.”

Scott Landers, senior vice president and chief financial officer, said, “We continue to execute against our short and long-term strategic business plans, which are driving improved revenues, profits and cash flows. We are in a strong financial position to capture the growth opportunities we see ahead.”

Second quarter 2010 operating results

OEM revenue for the quarter was $18.4 million, increasing nine percent year-over-year. Creative Professional revenue for the quarter was $6.0 million, increasing 13 percent from the second quarter of 2009.

In the second quarter of 2010, non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA was $10.4 million, compared to $10.1 million in the second quarter of the prior year.

A reconciliation of GAAP operating income to non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 is provided in the financial tables that accompany this release.

Cash, cash flow and debt balances

Monotype Imaging had cash and cash equivalents of $44.7 million as of June 30, 2010, an increase from $38.2 million at the end of the prior quarter and an increase from $34.6 million as of Dec. 31, 2009. During the second quarter of 2010, Monotype Imaging generated $10.7 million in cash flow from operations and $21.9 million year-to-date. The company’s outstanding debt was $81.2 million as of June 30, 2010, a decrease from $83.8 million at the end of the prior quarter and a decrease from $91.4 million on Dec. 31, 2009.

Financial outlook

For the third quarter of 2010, Monotype Imaging expects revenue in the range of $26.0 million to $27.5 million. The company anticipates third quarter 2010 non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA in the range of $11.5 million to $12.5 million and earnings per share in the range of $0.10 to $0.12.

Non-GAAP financial measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This non-GAAP information supplements and is not intended to represent a measure of performance in accordance with disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. Non-GAAP financial measures are used internally to manage the business, such as in establishing an annual operating budget and in reporting to lenders. Non-GAAP financial measures are used by Monotype Imaging management in its operating and financial decision-making because management believes these measures reflect ongoing business in a manner that allows meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Accordingly, Monotype Imaging believes it is useful for investors and others to review both GAAP and non-GAAP measures in order to (a) understand and evaluate current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does and (b) compare in a consistent manner the company’s current financial results with past financial results. The primary limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures are that these measures may not be directly comparable to the amounts reported by other companies and they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations. Monotype Imaging management compensates for these limitations by considering the company’s financial results and outlook as determined in accordance with GAAP and by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables attached to this press release.

Forward-looking statements

This press release may contain forward-looking statements including those related to future revenues and operating results, the growth of the company’s OEM business and Creative Professional business, the execution of the company’s growth strategy and anticipated business momentum that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the company’s actual results to differ materially. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: risks associated with changes in the economic climate, including decreased demand for fonts or products that incorporate the company's text imaging solutions; risks associated with changes in the financial markets, including the availability of credit; risks associated with increased competition, which may result in the company losing customers or force it to reduce prices; risks associated with the development and market acceptance of new products or product features; risks associated with the company’s ability to adapt its products to new markets and to anticipate and quickly respond to evolving technologies and customer requirements; risks associated with the company’s adoption of new business and licensing models; and risks associated with the ownership and enforcement of the company’s intellectual property. Additional disclosure regarding these and other risks faced by the company is available in the company’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2009 and subsequent filings. The forward-looking financial information set forth in this press release reflects estimates based on information available at this time. These amounts could differ from actual reported amounts stated in the company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. While Monotype Imaging may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if an estimate changes.
