Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 7, 2018, Avid Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2018 (the “Press Release”). The full text of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

The information contained in Item 2.02 is incorporated by reference herein.

Non-GAAP and Operational Measures. The attached Press Release includes financial measures that are not based on generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures, which are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, include the following: non-GAAP Net Revenue, non-GAAP Gross Margin, non-GAAP Operating Expense, non-GAAP operating income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow.

• Non-GAAP Net Revenue is defined as GAAP Revenue plus revenue eliminated through the application of purchase accounting, which requires acquired deferred revenue to be recorded at fair value rather than the amount paid by customers.

• Non-GAAP Gross Margin is defined as GAAP gross margin, excluding amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense.

• Non-GAAP Operating Expenses are defined as GAAP operating expenses excluding restructuring costs, stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles as well as other unusual items such as costs related to the restatement, M&A related activity, and efficiency program.

• Non-GAAP operating income (loss) is defined as GAAP operating income (loss) excluding restructuring costs, stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles as well as other unusual items such as costs related to the restatement, M&A related activity, and efficiency program.

• Adjusted EBITDA is defined as non-GAAP operating income (loss) excluding depreciation expense.

• Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by non-GAAP Net Revenue.

• Free Cash Flow is defined as GAAP operating cash flow less capital expenditures.

• Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as free cash flow excluding non-operational and one-time payments such as costs related to the restatement, M&A related activity, and efficiency program.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP measures are contained in the tables accompanying the Press Release. The Press Release furnished herewith also includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. Reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are not included in the Press Release furnished herewith due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the excluded information, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible at this time. As a result, the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts.

These non-GAAP financial measures reflect how Avid manages its businesses internally. Avid’s non-GAAP measures may vary from how other companies present non-GAAP measures. This non-GAAP information supplements, and is not intended to represent a measure of performance in accordance with, disclosures required by GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

The Press Release furnished herewith also includes the operational metrics of Bookings, Cloud-enabled software subscriptions, Recurring Revenue, Annual Contract Value and Revenue Backlog. Definitions of these operational metrics are also included in the supplemental financial and operational data sheet available on our investor relations webpage at ir.avid.com.

• Bookings is defined as the amount of revenue we expect to earn from an agreement between Avid and a customer for goods and services over the course of the agreement. To count as a booking, we expect there to be persuasive evidence of an agreement between us and our customer and that the collectability of the amounts payable under the arrangement are reasonably assured.

• Cloud-enabled software subscriptions as of a given date represent the number of paid subscription licenses under an active contract as of that date, excluding any licenses that may be receiving service under an active contract but that are not paid for at that time by the customer, whether due to a promotion, cancellation or otherwise.

• Recurring Revenue is defined as the sum of subscription revenue, maintenance revenue and revenue under our long-term contractual agreements.

• Annual Contract Value is defined, as of a given date, as the sum of the following three components: (i) the annual value of all long-term contractual agreements in effect on such date, calculated by dividing the total value of each contract (excluding expected maintenance revenue included in (ii) below and expected subscription revenue included in (iii) below) divided by the total number of years of such contract, (ii) maintenance revenue for the quarter ended on such date, multiplied by four, and (iii) subscription revenue for the quarter ended on such date, multiplied by four.

• Revenue Backlog consists of firm orders received and includes both (i) orders where the customer has paid in advance of our performance obligations being fulfilled and (ii) orders for future product deliveries or services that have not yet been invoiced by us.

Limitation on Incorporation by Reference. The information furnished in Items 2.02 and 7.01, including the Press Release furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. This Form 8-K, and the Press Release furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 contain forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements.

Exhibit 99.1

Avid Technology Announces Q3 2018 Results and

Updates Full-Year 2018 Guidance

Operating Income increased 90% year-over-year and Adjusted EBITDA increased 26% year-over-year driven by an improvement in Gross Margin and reduction in Operating Expenses

Subscription revenue grew 27% year-over-year, largely driven by the Company’s e-commerce business which grew 43% year-over-year

BURLINGTON, Mass., November 7, 2018 Avid^® (NASDAQ: AVID), the leading technology provider that powers the media and entertainment industry, today announced its third quarter 2018 financial results and updated its full-year 2018 guidance.

Highlights of Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results

• Bookings were $119.4 million, an increase of 16% year-over-year and 8% sequentially.

• Revenue was $104.0 million, a decrease of 1% year-over-year and an increase of 6% sequentially.

• Gross Margin was 58.3%, up 90 basis points year-over-year, and non-GAAP Gross Margin was 60.2%, up 100 basis points year-over-year.

• Operating Expenses were $53.6 million, a decrease of 5% year-over-year and 8% sequentially largely driven by savings from operational efficiency initiatives.

• Operating Income was $7.0 million, an improvement of 90% or $3.3 million year-over-year and $9.1 million sequentially.

• Adjusted EBITDA was $14.6 million, an increase of 26% year-over-year and 175% sequentially. Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 14%, up 300 basis points year-over-year and 860 basis points sequentially.

• Net Cash Used in Operating Activities was $3.7 million due to changes in working capital.

• Free Cash Flow was a deficit of $6.4 million, reflecting changes in working capital and the timing of billings.

Operational Metrics

• Software revenue from subscriptions increased 27% year-over-year, with cloud-enabled software subscriptions now at approximately 116,000 at the end of the third quarter.

• Revenue through the Company’s e-commerce activities was up 43% year-over-year.

• Recurring Revenue was 60% of the Company’s revenue in Q3’18 up from 50% in Q3’17.

• Annual Contract Value (ACV) was $249 million at the end of Q3’18 up from $222 million at the end of Q3’17, reflecting continuing growth in Avid’s high-margin subscription and maintenance revenues plus revenues under long-term agreements.

“We continued to make progress on our plan to drive better performance as evidenced by the improvement in our income statement,” said Jeff Rosica, Chief Executive Officer and President of Avid. “Our strategy to continue to move to higher margin subscription and software is progressing well as we saw double-digit growth in both subscriptions and e-commerce revenues. With that said, we will

continue with a sharp focus on operational improvements and driving revenue growth, which we believe will result in improved free cash flow generation.”

“During the third quarter, free cash flow was impacted by changes in working capital and the timing of billings,” commented Ken Gayron, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Avid. “In the fourth quarter, we expect a return to revenue growth which, with continued operational improvements, should result in further improvement in operating income. We also expect to generate positive cash flow in the fourth quarter and full year due to improvements in operating income, a reversal of the negative impact of working capital from the prior quarter and stronger anticipated collections in the current quarter.”

Full Year 2018 Guidance

For full year 2018, Avid is reaffirming its Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance and updating its Free Cash Flow guidance. This guidance reflects the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018.

(in $ millions)	Full Year 2018
Revenue	$410 - $420
Adjusted EBITDA	$40 - $46
Free Cash Flow	$2 - $6

All guidance presented by the Company is inherently uncertain and subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Avid’s actual future results of operations could differ materially from those shown in the table above. For a discussion of some of the key assumptions underlying the guidance, as well as the key risks and uncertainties associated with these forward-looking statements, please see “Forward-Looking Statements” below as well as the Avid Technology Q3 2018 Business Update presentation posted on Avid’s Investor Relations website.

Avid will host an Investor Day on November 14, 2018 from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm Eastern Time at the Westin Grand Central located at 212 East 42^nd Street, New York, NY.

The earnings release also includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow.

(1) The reduction is primarily attributable to the elimination of the requirement to have vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for undelivered elements that existed under ASC 605, the prior applicable accounting guidance, for software products, which no longer precludes revenue recognition under ASC 606. The impact of the adoption of ASC 606 reported in our Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2018 has been revised to reflect an additional reduction to deferred revenue and accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2018 of $3.8 million.
(2) For subscription contracts, we are now required under ASC 606 to record contract assets for annual and multi-year subscriptions that are billed monthly, resulting in an increase in contract assets at the date of adoption. In addition, some of our enterprise agreements have fixed payment schedules whereas the timing of the fulfillment of performance obligations under the contracts can vary, which can result in the fulfillment of performance obligations exceeding contract billings, which also results in contract assets.
