Revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 were $72.4 million, an increase of 53 percent over revenues of $47.4 million in the fourth quarter fiscal 2006. Fourth quarter 2007 revenue includes organic revenue growth of 8 percent, which excludes revenue from products acquired from InterVideo and Ulead. GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 was $3.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $9.4 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.

“Corel closed 2007 with a very strong fourth quarter driven by solid execution across our diverse mix of products, channels and geographies,” said David Dobson, Chief Executive Officer, Corel Corporation. “We continued to execute well on our key strategies in 2007 by delivering strong organic growth while successfully completing the integration of InterVideo and Ulead. The fundamental strength of the Corel business model is the ability to successfully integrate new products and teams while maintaining a sharp focus on profitably growing existing businesses.”

 


 

“Looking at the business over the past three years, I am very pleased with how we have re-positioned Corel into product and market segments that have better revenue growth and profit potential. As we enter 2008, we stand well-positioned to continue building on the foundation of our Graphics and Productivity products while leveraging our extensive Digital Media portfolio to pursue new growth opportunities.”

Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the year ended November 30, 2007 was $34.0 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net income for the year ended November 30, 2006 of $37.6 million, or $1.62 per diluted share.

Forward-Looking Statements:
This news release includes forward-looking statements that are based on certain assumptions and reflect our current expectations. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance, or achievements discussed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks include competitive threats from well-established software companies that have significantly greater market share and resources than us and from online services companies that are increasingly seeking to provide software products at little or no incremental cost to their customers to expand their Internet presence and build consumer loyalty. We rely on a small number of key strategic relationships for a significant percentage of our revenue and these relationships can be modified or terminated at any time. In addition, our core products have been marketed for many years and the packaged software market in North America and Europe is relatively mature and characterized by modest growth. Accordingly, we must successfully complete acquisitions, penetrate new markets or increase penetration of our installed base to achieve revenue growth. In addition, we face potential claims from third parties who may hold patent and other intellectual property rights which purport to cover various aspects of our products and from certain of our customers who may be entitled to indemnification from us in respect of potential claims they may receive from third parties related to their use or distribution of our products.
These and other risks, uncertainties and other important factors are described in Corel’s Annual Report dated February 23, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) and Corel’s other filings including Corel’s form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 31, 2007 under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere. A copy of the Corel Annual Report and such other filings can be obtained on Corel’s website, on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov./ or on the CSA’s website at http://www.sedar.com. In addition, these and other risks can be found in InterVideo’s previous reports filed with the SEC under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere, including InterVideo’s 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, which can be found on InterVideo’s website or on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are made. We disclaim any obligation or undertaking to provide any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which the forward-looking statement is based.
Financial Presentation and Use of Non-GAAP Measures:
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted

 


 

accounting principles, or GAAP, which differ in certain material respects from Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, our financial statements and information in this release are presented in U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise indicated. This news release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to confirm our compliance with covenants contained in our debt facilities, as supplemental indicators of our operating performance and to assist in evaluation of our liquidity. These measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP and therefore are not comparable to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies, and should not be viewed as alternatives to measures of financial performance or changes in cash flows calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the closest GAAP measures are set out in the notes to the financial statements attached to this news release.
