FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

SRS Labs Reports Second Quarter 2009 Results

 

Santa Ana, Calif., August 6, 2009 - SRS Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: SRSL), the industry leader in surround sound, audio and voice technologies, reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

 

Revenues in the second quarter 2009 totaled $5.1 million, an increase of 21% from $4.2 million in the same period a year ago. The improvement was primarily due to increased revenues in the home entertainment, personal telecommunications and personal computer markets.

 

Operating expenses in the quarter totaled $5.3 million, an increase of 8% from $4.9 million in the same quarter a year ago. The increase was primarily attributable to the continued investment in additional sales, marketing and engineering personnel, increased sales activities, as well as brand building initiatives to broaden SRS product recognition with consumers.

 

For the second quarter of 2009, operating loss totaled $281,000, an improvement from an operating loss of $727,000 in the second quarter of 2008, attributable to the significant increase in revenue.  For the second quarter of 2009, net loss totaled $198,000 or $(0.01) per basic and diluted share, an improvement from a net loss of $408,500 or $(0.03) per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2008.

 

Quarter-end cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $39.4 million as of June 30, 2009, as compared to $39.1 million at the end of the prior quarter.

 

“This quarter represents the highest second quarter revenue in our company history,” said Thomas C.K. Yuen, SRS Lab’s chairman and CEO. “In fact, Q2 revenue exceeded every quarter in 2008 despite the seasonality that typically makes the second quarter of our business the low watermark for the year. The quarter’s bottom line improved significantly over the year ago quarter, which also reflects our continued investment in resources critical to penetrate key high growth target markets, and thereby diversifying our customer base and furthering our transition from a technology licensing company into a complete audio solutions provider.

 

“As media-enabled devices continue to get smaller, thinner, lighter and increasingly adopted by consumers worldwide, SRS Labs is well positioned to accommodate this trend to provide critical solutions for enhancing the quality of the consumer audio experience. This positioning and our anticipated continued growth in major accounts and broader market penetration, enables us to reconfirm our previously stated expectations for 25% revenue growth in 2009.”
