Sonic Foundry Reports Second Quarter 2008 Results
MADISON, Wis., May 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sonic Foundry, Inc. , the recognized market leader for rich media webcasting and knowledge management, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2008 second quarter:
* Revenues totaled $3.9 million, up 3 percent from fiscal Q2 2007
* GAAP net loss of $2.3 million or $0.06 per diluted share
* Non-GAAP net loss of $1.6 million or $0.04 per diluted share
* Total billings reached $4.5 million, 9 percent growth year-over-year
* Service revenues of $1.7 million, up 88 percent from the second
quarter last year
Non-GAAP net loss primarily excludes all non-cash related expenses of stock compensation, depreciation and amortization and one time charges associated with program and personnel reductions announced in January 2008. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided at the end of this press release.
At March 31, 2008, an accumulated $3.5 million of unearned revenue had been billed and deferred, of which the company expects to realize $1.5 million in the upcoming quarter. Recorder units shipped increased 42 percent while service billings, a majority of which are deferred, were $2.0 million. As a result, gross margins were 71 percent for the second quarter, down from 77 percent in the past year. Future recognition of service revenues is expected to cause a rebound of gross margins to previous levels.
As previously reported, the company has recently concentrated more of its selling efforts on the education sector and is entering the two strongest seasons for U.S. educational buying. The company's total higher education sales pipeline is now over 65 percent, an increase of approximately 15 percentage points over the same quarter last year. Additionally, the company continues to experience expanded interest and purchasing internationally due in large part to growing demand in traditional and distance learning programs globally. International sales accounted for 23 percent of the quarter's billings.
The company experienced expanding market demand for more outsourced webcasting services within both the corporate and education sectors. New customers utilizing the company's webcasting and hosting services in the second quarter included Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, Jackson Healthcare Systems, Lifespan, Inc., Olympus Winter & Ibe, Winston-Salem State University and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Service revenues increased from $913 thousand to $1.7 million year over year primarily due to growth in event and hosting services as well as an increase in support contracts and renewals. New customers of Sonic Foundry Event Services included Aventine HealthSciences, Birmingham City University, ESSEC Business School - France and Pitney Bowes MapInfo.
Sales to education institutions represented 51 percent of the customer mix followed by corporations at 37 percent, government at 7 percent and health at 4 percent. Key higher education licensed sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 included Canadian Forces College, Columbia College of Missouri, New Hampshire Community College, New Mexico State University, Northwestern Health Sciences University, Sakarya University-Turkey, University of British Columbia, University of Michigan Ross School of Business and University of New Mexico.
In January 2008, the company announced the initiation of cost savings measures that were designed to focus its overall market scope and concentrate on key vertical markets while positioning the company towards breakeven or better operations. Fiscal Q2 proforma expenses included one time costs associated with certain personnel and program reductions tied to this previous effort. The company expects to report additional expenses for fiscal Q3 totaling at least $425 thousand, which will also be reported on a proforma basis.
"We continue to experience expanded demand from the leading early adopters, specifically in the business and health education markets. We believe these sectors will remain primary areas of technology investment on a global basis, even with a slowing economy," said Rimas Buinevicius, chairman and CEO of Sonic Foundry. "The advantages offered by distance learning, blended learning and webcasting services resonate strongly with economically conscious technology buyers and having the most advanced product in the market positions us well before our strongest buying season."
Sonic Foundry will host a corporate webcast today for analysts and investors to discuss its second quarter fiscal 2008 results at 3:30 p.m. CT / 4:30 p.m. ET. It will use its patented rich media communications system, Mediasite, to webcast the presentation for both live and on-demand viewing. To access the presentation, go to http://www.sonicfoundry.com/q2. An archive of the webcast will be available for 30 days.
EXPLANATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use the measure of non-GAAP net loss in our financial presentation, which exclude certain non-cash costs. These costs include stock-based compensation which we believe is helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our future results. Our non-GAAP financial measure is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non- GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related income tax effects:
* Stock-based compensation expenses: We adopted FASB Statement No. 123R,
Share-Based Payments, on October 1, 2005, under the modified
prospective method. Statement 123R requires us to record non-cash
operating expenses associated with stock option awards at their
estimated fair values. Prior to our Statement 123R adoption, we were
required to record stock-based compensation expenses at intrinsic
value, which was zero since we only issue stock options at the market
price of our stock on the date issued. In accordance with the modified
prospective method, our financial statements for prior periods have
not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the changes in
methodology to expense options at fair values in accordance with
Statement 123R. Stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to
our employees. We believe such compensation contributed to the
revenues earned during the periods presented and also believe it will
contribute to the generation of future period revenues. As a result,
we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based
compensation expenses.
* Depreciation and amortization of intangible and other assets expenses:
We have excluded the effect of depreciation and amortization of assets
from our pro-forma net loss. Amortization of intangible assets expense
varies in amount and frequency and it is significantly affected by the
timing and size of our acquisitions. Depreciation and amortization of
asset costs is a non-cash expense that includes the periodic write-off
of tooling, product design and other assets that contributed to
revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to
future period revenues as well. Amortization expenses will recur in
future periods.
* Personnel and program reduction costs: We have excluded the additional
costs incurred as a result of our cost reduction plan which was
communicated in January 2008. These costs include severance costs
associated with employee reductions as we better aligned ourselves
with key vertical markets. Also included is a one time charge
associated with an early extinguishment of a lease.

Frequently Used Terms
New business signings -- while there are no third party standards or requirements governing the calculation of new business signings, we define new business signings as annual recurring revenue from new contracts and the incremental portion of renewals that are signed during the period, which represents the estimated first twelve months of revenue to be recorded under the contracts after full implementation. We use new business signings as a measure of estimated recurring revenues represented by contractual commitments, both to forecast prospective revenues and to estimate capital commitments. Revenues are measured under GAAP.
Trailing twelve month new business -- is the preceding twelve months of new business signings at a point in time expressed in annual revenue, not total contract value.
Total contract value -- represents estimated total revenue over the term of the contract.
Restatement of Operating Segment Results
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company reorganized the internal operating and reporting structures in its Commercial and Government segments to more formally align its sales, service delivery and financial organizations under their appropriate leadership. As a result, the Company has restated its Commercial and Government segment results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007 to reflect its current operating and reporting structure. The restatement has no impact on the Company's consolidated results for the period of restatement.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company uses certain non-GAAP performance measures, including adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share, free cash flow and internal revenue growth to provide both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying operational trends and results.
Management uses these non-GAAP measures to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and prior results, and as a basis for planning and forecasting for future periods.
Reconciliation of Reported GAAP Results to Adjusted Non-GAAP Results -- In addition to reporting operating income, pretax income, net income and earnings per share on a GAAP basis, the Company has also made certain non-GAAP adjustments which are described in "Description of Non-GAAP Adjustments," and are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures in the attached financial schedules titled, "Reconciliation of Reported Results to Income Adjusted for Certain Non-GAAP Items" included in this earnings release. In making these non-GAAP adjustments, the Company takes into account the impact of items that are infrequently occurring or that are non-operational in nature. Management believes that the exclusion of these items provides a useful basis for evaluating underlying business performance, but should not be considered in isolation and is not in accordance with, or a substitute for, evaluating business unit performance utilizing GAAP financial information. Management uses non-GAAP measures in its budgeting and forecasting processes and to further analyze its financial trends, as well as making financial comparisons to prior periods presented on a similar basis. The Company's management uses each of these non-GAAP financial measures in its own evaluation of the Company's performance, particularly when comparing performance to prior periods, and the Company believes that providing such adjusted results allows investors and other users of the Company's financial statements to better understand the Company's comparative operating performance for the periods presented.
The Company's management uses each of these non-GAAP financial measures in its own evaluation of the Company's performance, particularly when comparing performance to past periods. The Company's non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures. Although the Company's management believes non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the performance of its business, the Company acknowledges that items excluded from such measures may have a material impact on the Company's income from operations, pretax income, net income and earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, management uses non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP results. Investors and users of our financial information should also consider the above factors when evaluating our results.
Description of Non-GAAP Adjustments:
The following items are included in our presentation of Non-GAAP adjustments:
1. Costs related to our internal investigation of our stock option grant
practices, investigations begun by the Securities and Exchange
Commission and Department of Justice, and shareholder derivative suits:
The Company has incurred costs related to our internal investigation,
as well as those of the SEC and DOJ. In addition, several derivative
lawsuits have been filed in connection with our stock option grant
practices, generally alleging claims related to breach of fiduciary
duty and unjust enrichment by certain of our directors and senior
executives and the Company has incurred costs related to these
lawsuits. Management expects that the Company will continue to incur
costs related to the ongoing investigations and derivative lawsuits
(collectively, "Option Investigation Related Costs"). Management
believes that these costs, although material and recurring, are not
related to the Company's ongoing operations and that excluding them
helps to provide a more meaningful representation of the Company's
operating performance.
2. Costs related to buyout offers and related shareholder derivative
suits: The Company has incurred costs in fiscal years 2008 and 2007 to
evaluate our strategic alternatives, including the proposal from Darwin
Deason, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Cerberus. In addition,
several lawsuits have been filed in connection with the announced
buyout transaction, generally alleging claims related to breach of
fiduciary duty, and seeking class action status ("Buyout Related
Cost"). Management expects that the Company may continue to incur costs
related to our evaluation of strategic alternatives and these lawsuits.
Management believes that these costs, although material and possibly
recurring, are not related to the Company's ongoing operations and that
excluding them helps to provide a more meaningful representation of the
Company's operating performance.
3. Cost related to amending certain employee stock options: During fiscal
year 2007 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company
amended the exercise price of certain outstanding stock options in
order to reprice all, or a portion, of the respective stock option
grants to the correct accounting measurement date to avoid adverse tax
consequences to individual holders under Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code ("Section 409A"). During the first quarter of fiscal
year 2008, the Company expensed approximately $1.2 million related to
these amended stock options ("Amended Options"). During the third
quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company paid approximately
$6.7 million to the individual holders in accordance with the terms of
the amended stock options. Management believes that these costs and
cash payments are not related to the Company's ongoing operations and
that excluding them helps to provide a more meaningful representation
of our operating performance.
4. Cost related to certain former employees' stock options: The exercise
price of certain former employees' vested, unexercised and outstanding
stock options were less than the fair market value per share of ACS
stock on the revised measurement dates for such stock options. During
the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company notified certain
former employees that the Company will pay them the additional
20% income tax imposed by Section 409A if a triggering event occurs and
if the employee is required to recognize and report W-2 income under
Section 409A, subject to certain limitations. During the three and
nine months ended March 31, 2008, the Company accrued approximately
$0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, based on the market price
of ACS common stock at March 31, 2008 and will adjust this accrual to
the fair market value of ACS stock each quarter until the options are
exercised ("Income Tax Reimbursements"). Management believes that
these costs are not related to the Company's ongoing operations and
that excluding them helps to provide a more meaningful representation
of our operating performance.
5. Gain related to sale of our decision support business: In the second
quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company divested its decision support
business and recognized a pre-tax gain of $2.4 million. Management
believes that the decision support business is not strategic to our
ongoing operations and its sale is an isolated event. Management
believes excluding the gain on its sale better reflects the performance
of our continuing operations.
6. Waiver fee on our Credit Facility: In the first quarter of fiscal
year 2007, the Company received an amendment, consent and waiver from
the lenders under our Credit Facility with respect to, among other
provisions, waiver of any default or event of default arising under the
Credit Facility as a result of our failure to comply with certain
reporting covenants ("Waiver Fee"). Management believes that our
delayed filings of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 30, 2006 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended
September 30, 2006, which necessitated the waiver, are infrequently
occurring events and excluding the Waiver Fee provides a more
meaningful representation of our results of operations for the first
quarter of fiscal year 2007.
7. Gain related to sale of minority interests: In the third quarter of
fiscal year 2007, the Company divested its minority interest in a
professional service business and recognized a pre-tax gain of
$9.1 million. Management believes that this sale is an isolated event
related to non-core operations and not representative of our ongoing
operations. This business was not considered strategic to our ongoing
operations and excluding the gains on the sale helps to isolate the
performance of our continuing operations.
8. North Carolina contract settlement ("NC Settlement"): In the third
quarter of fiscal year 2007, we mutually agreed to terminate the North
Carolina MMIS contract, settled all issues related to the contract, and
recognized $3.4 million in revenue related to this settlement. The
Company believes that the contract termination and settlement was an
infrequent occurrence and that excluding this settlement helps to
provide a more meaningful representation of the performance of our
continuing operations.
9. Litigation settlement: In the third and fourth quarters of fiscal
year 2007, we recorded charges of approximately $2.2 million and
$2.3 million, respectively, related to the settlement of a
pre-acquisition claim related to our fiscal year 2005 acquisition of
the human resources consulting business of Mellon Financial
Corporation. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, we recovered
approximately $1.8 million of this settlement. We believe that the
settlement and subsequent recovery of this pre-acquisition claim is not
related to our ongoing operations and that excluding them helps to
provide a more meaningful representation of the performance from our
continuing operations.

Internal revenue growth -- is measured as total revenue growth less acquired revenue from acquisitions and revenues from divested operations. Acquired revenue from acquisitions is based on pre-acquisition normalized revenue of acquired companies. We use the calculation of internal revenue growth to measure revenue growth excluding the impact of acquired revenues and the revenue associated with divested operations and we believe these adjustments to historical reported results are necessary to accurately reflect our internal revenue growth.
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company generated internal revenue growth of 5%. Internal revenue growth is measured as follows (unaudited, $ in millions):

Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow -- is measured as operating cash flow (net cash provided by operating activities, as reported in our consolidated statements of cash flows) less capital expenditures (purchases of property, equipment and software, net of sales, as reported in our consolidated statements of cash flows) less additions to other intangible assets (as reported in our consolidated statements of cash flows). We believe that this free cash flow metric provides an additional measure of available cash flow after we have satisfied the capital expenditure requirements of our operations, and should not be taken in isolation to be a measure of cash flow available for us to satisfy all our obligations and execute our business strategies. We also rely on cash flows from investing and financing activities which, together with free cash flow, are expected to be sufficient for us to execute our business strategies. Our measure of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. (unaudited, $ in millions):

Hifn, Inc. Reports Q2 FY2008 Results and Announces Stock Repurchase Program
LOS GATOS, Calif., May 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hifn(TM) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended March 31, 2008. This press release contains both GAAP and non-GAAP financial information for which a reconciliation can be found on the final page.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070723/CLM036LOGO)
Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 were $9.3 million, a decrease of 15 percent from the $10.9 million in revenues reported in the previous quarter and a decrease of 16 percent from the $11.0 million in revenues reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2008 were $20.2 million, a decrease of one percent from the $20.3 million reported for the six months ended March 31, 2007.
Net loss for the second quarter ended March 31, 2008, on a generally-accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, was $2.0 million, or a loss of $0.14 per share. Non-GAAP net loss, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets, for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was $748,000, or a loss of $0.05 per share. Net loss for the second quarter ended March 31, 2007, on a GAAP basis, was $707,000, or a loss of $0.05 per share. Non-GAAP net income, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets, for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was $575,000, or an income of $0.04 per share.
Net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2008, on a GAAP basis, was $2.7 million, or a loss of $0.18 per share. Non-GAAP net loss, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets, for the six months ended March 31, 2008 was $246,000, or a loss of $0.02 per share. Net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2007, on a GAAP basis, was $3.4 million, or a loss of $0.24 per share. Non-GAAP net loss, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets, for the six months ended March 31, 2007 was $947,000, or a loss of $0.07 per share.
"This was a challenging quarter for the company, and our results underscore the combined execution and business environment issues we are addressing as we simultaneously expand our product line while diversifying out of our legacy dependence upon a relatively narrow customer set for top line growth. In the most recent quarter, revenue from two of our largest OEM customers came in below our expectations, while the new volume-production revenue streams driving our diversification strategy are now beginning to grow," said Albert E. Sisto, Chairman and CEO of Hifn. "We are however encouraged by our cost and cash management over the quarter. Operating expenses for the quarter were in line with earlier guidance and declined from expenses in the prior year second quarter, and our cash reserves have increased by $3.2M since the end of our 2007 fiscal year. We are continuing to upgrade and expand our sales force as we add feet on the street to stimulate revenue growth." Sisto continued, "Despite these transitional challenges, the core of the Hifn business and product family value proposition is meeting with growing acceptance and market adoption by a much wider customer set than at any time in our history, driven in the main by the ongoing convergence of networking and storage. We remain confident in our technology and close customer relationships going forward in 2008 and we have the financial resources to pursue our strategy," Sisto concluded.
Hifn management will hold a conference call to discuss these results today, May 1, 2008 at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time (PDT). Those wishing to join should dial 800-509-8613 (domestic U.S.) or 706-679-4544 (international) at approximately 1:15 p.m. Playback of the conference call will be available for 72 hours after the call and may be accessed by calling 800-642-1687, pass code 44064623. This press release and information regarding the conference call may be accessed through the Investor Relations page in Hifn's corporate website at http://www.hifn.com/.
Hifn also announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program under which Hifn may repurchase up to $8 million of its common stock. Under this stock repurchase program, until September 30, 2008, shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or through negotiated transactions.
"We are pleased that our Board of Directors has approved this repurchase program," commented Mr. Sisto. "This repurchase program is consistent with our commitment to enhance shareholder value."
Hifn is not obligated to purchase any shares under this stock repurchase program. Subject to applicable corporate securities laws, repurchases under this stock repurchase program may be made at such times and in such amounts as Hifn's management deems appropriate. Purchases under this stock repurchase program can be discontinued at any time management feels additional purchases are not warranted. Hifn intends on funding the repurchases under this stock repurchase program with existing cash resources.

Non-GAAP Measures
Management uses non-GAAP measures internally for evaluating current financial performance, strategic decision making and forecasting. These non-GAAP measures are a derivative of our GAAP results adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets. Given the importance of non-GAAP measures to management, Hifn believes these non-GAAP measures will help analysts and investors better understand management assessment of the company's operational financial performance as compared to prior periods. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP financial data. Non-GAAP measures used by Hifn may be different from those used by other companies.
This press release contains forward-looking statements, such as statements about future events, such as Hifn's future financial performance, including statements related to increasing acceptance of our storage segment solutions, continued strong shipments of our network security processors, our ability to generate cash from our core business and Hifn's intention to repurchase shares of its common stock under the stock repurchase program. Readers are cautioned that Hifn's forward-looking statements are only predictions and may differ materially from actual future events or results due to a variety of factors, such as: our dependence on a small number of customers; changes in customer demand and customer ordering patterns; stimulation of revenue growth through sales force expansion and product acceptance; continuous decline of expenses from prior year; our ability to successfully integrate and operate the business and technology of Siafu Software; and unexpected economic slowdown in the technology sector. In addition, Hifn's intention to repurchase shares of its common stock under the stock repurchase program may be affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to: fluctuations in Hifn's stock price; Hifn's liquidity needs; management's assessment of general business or market conditions; and management's determination of alternative uses of Hifn's cash resources. Additional risks are detailed from time to time in Hifn's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Hifn expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The financial information contained in this release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Hifn's most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. Hifn's results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of Hifn's operating results for any future periods. Any projections in this release are based on limited information currently available to Hifn and speak only as of the date of this release.

Entravision Communications Corporation Reports First Quarter 2008 Results- First Quarter 2008 Net Revenue Decreases 2% -- Repurchases 3.4 Million Shares in the First Quarter -- Completes First $100 Million Repurchase Plan Authorized on November 1, 2006 -
SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Entravision Communications Corporation today reported financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008.
Historical results, which are attached, are in thousands of U.S. dollars (except share and per share data). The results of our outdoor operations are presented in discontinued operations within the statements of operations in accordance with SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to each of these non-GAAP financial measures, and a table reconciling each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is included beginning on page 7. Unaudited financial highlights are as follows:
Three-Month Period
Ended March 31,
2008 2007 % Change
Net revenue $55,653 $56,895 (2)%
Operating expenses (1) 35,409 35,045 1 %

(1) Operating expenses include direct operating, selling, general and
administrative expenses. Included in operating expenses are $0.3
million and $0.4 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Operating expenses do not include corporate expenses, depreciation and
amortization, and gain (loss) on sale of assets.
(2) Corporate expenses include $0.4 million and $0.6 million of non-cash
stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended March 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively.
(3) Consolidated adjusted EBITDA means net income (loss) plus (gain) loss
on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based
compensation included in operating and corporate expenses, net
interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), equity in net income
(loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate and syndication programming
amortization less syndication programming payments. We use the term
consolidated adjusted EBITDA because that measure is defined in our
syndicated bank credit facility and does not include (gain) loss on
sale of assets ,depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based
compensation, net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit),
equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate and
syndication programming amortization and does include syndication
programming payments. While many in the financial community and we
consider consolidated adjusted EBITDA to be important, it should be
considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to,
other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, such as cash flows from operating activities,
operating income and net income. As consolidated adjusted EBITDA
excludes non-cash (gain) loss of sales of assets, non-cash
depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, net
interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), equity in net income
(loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate and syndication programming
amortization and includes syndication programming payments,
consolidated adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it
excludes and includes several important non-cash financial line items.
Therefore, we consider both non-GAAP and GAAP measures when evaluating
our business.
(4) Free cash flow is defined as consolidated adjusted EBITDA less cash
paid for income taxes, net interest expense and capital expenditures.
Net interest expense is defined as interest expense, less non-cash
interest expense relating to amortization of debt finance costs, less
interest income less the change in the fair value of our interest rate
swaps. Free cash flow per share is defined as free cash flow divided
by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.
Commenting on the Company's earnings results, Walter Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "During the first quarter we continued to execute on our strategic plan and strengthen the position of our television and radio stations in a challenging advertising environment due to general economic conditions. We also faced difficult comparisons in our operational results compared to the year ago period, when we outperformed the industry with robust results from both our television and radio divisions. We remain well positioned to capitalize on the expanding purchasing power of the Hispanic consumer. We are prudently investing in our broadcasting assets to build audience share, penetrating new business and maintaining our disciplined cost approach. We have a strong balance sheet and the pending sale of our outdoor advertising assets for $100 million will provide us with substantial financial flexibility to execute on our growth initiatives and build value for our shareholders."
The Company also announced that it repurchased 3.4 million shares of Class A common stock for approximately $22.4 million in the first quarter of 2008. Additionally, the Company announced that it repurchased 1.3 million shares of Class A common stock for approximately $8.4 million in the second quarter of 2008 thus completing the $100 million repurchase program authorized by the Company's Board of Directors on November 1, 2006. The Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of an additional $100 million of the Company's common stock on April 7, 2008.

Net revenue decreased to $55.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 from $56.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $1.2 million. Of the overall decrease, $0.7 million came from our television segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in national advertising sales, primarily due to a decrease in advertising rates. Additionally, $0.5 million of the overall decrease came from our radio segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in local advertising sales, primarily due to a decrease in inventory sold and a decrease in advertising rates.
Operating expenses increased to $35.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 from $35.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $0.4 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in wages, syndication amortization and rent expense, partially offset by a decrease in national representation fees and other expenses associated with the decrease in net revenue.
Corporate expenses decreased to $4.5 million for three-month period ended March 31, 2008 from $4.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $0.1 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation.

Image Sensing Systems Announces First Quarter Financial Results
SAINT PAUL, Minn., May 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Image Sensing Systems, Inc. , announced today record financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2008.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050512/CGISSLOGO)
Net income for the first quarter was $1.1 million ($.26 per fully diluted share) compared to $556,000 ($0.14 per fully diluted share) for the same period in 2007. Revenues for the first quarter were $5.9 million compared to $2.6 million for the same period a year ago. Revenue from royalties increased 26% to $2.9 million from $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2007 and reflects the continued success of our North American distributor, Econolite Control Products, Inc. (ECPI), in selling Autoscope(R) products in the United States and Canada. North American sales, which are sales of RTMS(R) in North America, were $1.6 million. International sales, which include both Autoscope and RTMS sales outside of North America, were $1.4 million in the first quarter, a four-fold increase over $353,000 in the same period in 2007. Sales of RTMS world-wide for the quarter were $1.8 million. We acquired the RTMS family of products in December 2007.
On a non-GAAP basis, excluding intangible asset amortization net of tax, net income for the quarter increased 113% to $1.2 million ($.29 per fully diluted share) and operating income increased 162% to $1.7 million as compared to the first quarter of 2007.
Ken Aubrey, CEO, said, "Our results reflect continued strong organic growth in our core business in addition to the solid performance of our recent acquisition despite what is typically the seasonally slowest quarter of the year. We executed well across all product lines and regions including the newly acquired RTMS radar family and were the beneficiary of several large projects internationally.
"We look forward to beginning shipments of the next generation RTMS G4 in the second quarter of 2008 and concluding some important enhancements for Autoscope Terra. We believe this should position us well for the remainder of 2008."
New Bank Financing
On May 1, 2008, we entered into three loan agreements with Associated Bank that replace our previous arrangements with Wells Fargo. The first two agreements include a three-year amortizing $3 million term loan and a three- year $5 million revolving line of credit. Under the agreements we have drawn fully the $3 million term loan and have advanced $2 million on the line of credit. A major benefit of the new agreements is that we are required to pledge only our auction rate securities (ARS) as collateral and the borrowings are based on an advance formula which includes ARS and receivables. This has freed up over $3.5 million in money market funds that were pledged under the Wells Fargo arrangement. The third agreement is a $10 million guidance facility to be used for future acquisitions. The use of the facility is subject to lender due diligence and meeting certain debt service ratios. We refer you to our Current Report on 8-K filed with the SEC dated May 1, 2008 for further detail.
Auction Rate Security Update
We continue to hold $5.5 million in face value of student loan backed ARS, substantially all of which are Federal government backed under the Federal Family Education Loan Program. All auctions since mid-February involving our ARS have failed. We continue to believe that the underlying credit quality of the ARS is excellent and that the main problem remains illiquidity. Based on an analysis of the ARS fair value, we have determined there is a temporary impairment and have recorded an unrealized loss of $251,000 ($166,000 net of tax) and have reclassified the ARS as long-term assets at March 31, 2008. The unrealized loss does not flow through our income statement, rather it is recorded directly to shareholders' equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/loss. There is uncertainty in the ARS market and, should circumstances change, we may deem the impairment to be other than temporary or otherwise adjust our analysis.
Non-GAAP Information
We provide certain non-GAAP financial information as supplemental information to GAAP amounts. This non-GAAP information excludes the impact, net of tax, of amortizing the intangible assets from the EIS asset purchase that occurred in December 2007. Management believes that this presentation facilitates the comparison of our current operating results to historical operating results. Management uses this non-GAAP information to evaluate short-term and long-term operating trends in our core operations. Non-GAAP information is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for or an alternative to GAAP financial measures and may not be computed the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Photon Dynamics Reports Fiscal 2008 Second Quarter Results
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Photon Dynamics, Inc. today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, ended March 31, 2008.
Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was $45.1 million, compared to first quarter fiscal 2008 revenue of $16.2 million and second quarter of 2007 of $13.9 million. Net income for the second quarter was $3.9 million or $0.21 earnings per diluted share, compared to first quarter net loss of $8.2 million or $0.46 loss per share and a loss of $15.7 million or $0.95 loss per share for the second quarter a year ago.
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 reflects a net of $0.3 million in charges related to the following items:
-- Stock-based employee compensation expense of $0.5 million
-- Recovery of previously reserved inventory of $1.9 million
-- Amortization of intangible assets of $0.9 million
-- Restatement-related expenses of $0.9 million
Second quarter non-GAAP net income was $4.2 million or $0.23 earnings per diluted share, compared to first quarter non-GAAP net loss of $5.7 million or $0.31 loss per share and non-GAAP loss of $10.9 million or $0.66 loss per share for the second quarter a year ago. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures is provided after the GAAP financial statements below.
Bookings for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 reached $80.0 million, and the Company posted a shippable backlog of $125.6 million at the end of March 2008. The Company noted that bookings and backlog are not necessarily indicative of future revenue and that historically bookings have fluctuated on a quarter-to-quarter basis. These fluctuations in bookings may continue in the future. The Company's cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long term investments were $65.2 million as of March 31, 2008.
Jeff Hawthorne, president and chief executive officer, commented, "Our second consecutive quarter of record bookings and our return to profitability demonstrate the execution of our strategic initiatives to enhance our competitiveness and drive to sustained profitability. With steady implementation of our strategic initiatives and with the shippable backlog of $125.6 million at the end of March, we are solidly poised to capitalize on the current growth cycle. We remain sharply focused on enhancing our profitability through a cycle. I appreciate all employees for their relentless hard work and dedication which facilitated our business wins."
