CALABASAS, Calif., Nov. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DTS, Inc. (Nasdaq: DTSI), a leader in high-definition audio solutions and audio enhancement technologies, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

"Our strong quarterly results reflect the continued successful execution of our long-term strategy across the home, mobile and automotive markets," said Jon Kirchner, chairman and CEO of DTS. "During the quarter we expanded the Play-Fi ecosystem through the addition of Pioneer and Onkyo as hardware partners and announced collaboration with Amazon to bring the Alexa service to our partners in 2017. Our mobile momentum continued as we broadened an already robust partnership with Huawei to launch DTS Headphone:X as a key feature on the entirely new Huawei Nova product line. In automotive, we continued to drive increased penetration of HD Radio technology across North America, as new 2017 model year vehicles hit local dealerships, including the Hyundai Ioniq, Audi A4, Lincoln Continental and more."

Mr. Kirchner concluded, "We remain excited about the opportunities ahead and expect the transaction with Tessera to close in December subject to DTS stockholder approval. We believe that the combination of DTS and Tessera will deliver the world's leading audio and imaging solutions to all of our key markets, driving meaningful value for our customers and partners."

In light of the pending acquisition of DTS by Tessera Technologies, Inc., DTS will not hold a conference call to discuss its financial results.

The GAAP and non-GAAP reconciling items for the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 can be found in the "Non-GAAP Financial Metrics" schedule attached to this press release and on the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at www.dts.com.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Included within this press release are non-GAAP financial measures that supplement the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures adjust the Company's actual results prepared under GAAP by excluding charges and the related estimated income tax effects for stock-based compensation, the amortization of intangible assets, and acquisition, integration, and restructuring related costs. Over the past several years, the Company's GAAP tax rate has varied substantially. As a result of recent international restructurings, management believes the most appropriate measure for its estimated annual effective tax rate is approximately 30% and as such, a 30% tax rate has been used in the computation of non-GAAP net income (loss). Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP amounts for the periods presented herein are provided in schedules accompanying this release and should be considered together with the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These non-GAAP measures are not meant as a substitute for GAAP, but are included solely for informational and comparative purposes. The Company's management believes that this information can assist investors in evaluating the Company's operational trends, financial performance, and cash generating capacity. Management believes these non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate the Company's financial performance using some of the same measures as management. However, the non-GAAP financial measures should not be regarded as a replacement for or superior to corresponding, similarly captioned, GAAP measures.
