Monotype Imaging Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2009 Results

Company Reports Strong Revenue and Profitability

WOBURN, Mass., Mar 04, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: TYPE), a leading global provider of text imaging solutions, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended Dec. 31, 2009.

Fourth quarter and full year 2009 highlights:

  • Fourth quarter revenue was $25.1 million, an eight percent decline year-over-year and a nine percent increase over the prior quarter. Full year 2009 revenue was $94.0 million, a decrease of 15 percent year-over-year.
  • Net income for the fourth quarter was $4.0 million, versus $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Full year 2009 net income was $13.4 million, versus $15.4 million in the prior year.
  • Non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $10.6 million, or 42 percent of revenue. Full year 2009 non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA was $41.0 million, or 44 percent of revenue.
  • Cash flow from operations was $5.7 million for the fourth quarter and $28.1 million for the full year 2009. Cash and cash equivalents balance as of Dec. 31, 2009, was $34.6 million, an increase of $2.7 million from the prior year, inclusive of $22.5 million in debt repayments.

"A return to sequential growth in our OEM business contributed to fourth quarter total revenues that exceeded our expectations. Our overall business has grown sequentially during each of the past two quarters, and we believe we have effectively managed the business past the low point we experienced earlier in 2009," said Doug Shaw, president and chief executive officer. "The strategic investments we made over the last year have strengthened our product offerings and expanded our market opportunities. We believe the company is well positioned for 2010 and beyond."

Scott Landers, senior vice president and chief financial officer, said, "Our results for the fourth quarter and the full year 2009 reflect our ability to manage our business to significant levels of profitability. We balanced cost containment with investments, while at the same time grew our cash balances to $34.6 million and reduced our debt balances by over $22 million."

Fourth quarter operating results

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $25.1 million, down eight percent compared to $27.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. OEM revenue for the quarter was $18.5 million, decreasing eight percent year-over-year. Creative Professional revenue for the quarter was $6.7 million, decreasing nine percent from the fourth quarter of 2008.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $4.0 million, compared to $4.1 million in the prior year period. Earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2009 were $0.11, consistent with the fourth quarter of 2008.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA was $10.6 million, compared to $13.1 million in the fourth quarter of last year.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2009, Monotype Imaging changed its definition of non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA to be calculated as GAAP operating income and adding back share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expenses.

Full year 2009 operating results

Revenue for the full year 2009 was $94.0 million, a decrease of 15 percent compared to $110.9 million in the full year 2008. OEM revenues were $69.0 million, decreasing 11 percent year-over-year. Creative Professional revenues were $25.0 million, decreasing 24 percent year-over-year.

Net income for the full year 2009 was $13.4 million, compared to net income of $15.4 million for the prior year. Earnings per diluted share for the full year 2009 were $0.38 compared to earnings per diluted share of $0.43 for the full year 2008.

For the full year 2009, non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA was $41.0 million, compared to non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA of $48.9 million for the prior year.

A reconciliation of GAAP operating income to non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA for the three and 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2009 and 2008 is provided in the financial tables that accompany this release.

Cash, cash flow and debt balances

Monotype Imaging had cash and cash equivalents of $34.6 million as of Dec. 31, 2009, an increase from $31.9 million at the end of the prior year. Monotype Imaging generated $5.7 million of cash from operations in the fourth quarter of 2009 and $28.1 million on a full year basis. The company's outstanding debt was $91.4 million as of Dec. 31, 2009, a decrease from $99.2 million as of Sept. 30, 2009 and $113.6 million at the end of the prior year.

Financial Outlook

For the first quarter of 2010, Monotype Imaging expects revenue in the range of $24.0 million to $25.0 million. The company expects first quarter 2010 non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA in the range of $9.5 million to $10.5 million and earnings per share in the range of $0.07 to $0.09.

For full year 2010, Monotype Imaging expects revenue in the range of $100 million to $104 million. The company expects full year 2010 non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA in the range of $42 million to $45 million and earnings per share in the range of $0.36 to $0.41.

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; 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, 2008, as amended, and subsequent filings. The 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2009. 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.
