CLIFTON PARK, N.Y., Aug 06, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- ONT | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- On2 Technologies, Inc. (NYSE Amex: ONT), a leader in video compression solutions, today announced quarterly results for the period ending June 30, 2009. Revenue in the second quarter of 2009 was $5.0 million, an increase of 53% from the second quarter of 2008, and an increase of 24% from the prior quarter. On a GAAP basis, second quarter net loss was ($224,000), or ($0.00) per share, compared to a net loss of ($7.2) million, or ($0.04), in the second quarter of 2008. GAAP net loss includes non-recurring expenses for the second quarter of $420,000 in legal and other fees incurred in the second quarter of 2009 related to the previously announced merger agreement with Google and $523,000 in litigation settlement costs.

Matt Frost, Chief Operating Officer and interim Chief Executive Officer of On2 Technologies said, "We are very pleased to have delivered our strongest revenue performance in six quarters. While we have felt some impact of the global economic recession, the continual growth of video on the Internet coupled with the growing need for content providers to reduce bandwidth and improve quality continues to drive our business forward. We were encouraged to see a strong performance from our On2 Finland operation, particularly after it underwent significant cost-reducing measures earlier in the year. Excluding non-recurring expenses, we produced our first quarter of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP break-even net income per share in over three years. As our top-line patterns are likely to remain somewhat variable, there is no guarantee that positive earnings trends will continue into the next quarter. We believe, however, that encouraging longer term trends are being established through a combination of revenue growth and effective cost management."

Frost added, "Non-recurring items in the second quarter included $523,000 in costs to settle a complaint filed by Islandia LP in August 2008. We also incurred non-recurring legal and other costs of $420,000 associated with our proposed merger with a subsidiary of Google. On the positive side, we recognized a gain from forgiveness of debt this quarter of $669,000 from a loan owed to the Finnish government."

Second Quarter Business Highlights

    --  Royalties of $1.2 million in the second quarter increased 74%
        year-over-year and 5% sequentially. Royalties represented 24% of revenue
        in the quarter, compared with 21% of revenue in the second quarter of
        2008 and 28% of revenue in the first quarter of 2009.

    --  In the second quarter of 2009, On2 added 40 new customers, excluding
        online sales, with 13 transactions in the quarter that contributed over
        $50,000 each to revenue.  While the number of new customers decreased
        year-over-year and sequentially, the number of transactions over $50,000
        is up over the same periods.

    --  In April, On2 announced that Westec Interactive, a provider of
        innovative, intelligent video surveillance systems, will integrate the
        On2 VP7(TM) format into its digital video recorder to increase the
        quality of stored video while delivering a substantial savings in
        bandwidth.

    --  In April, On2 and Boo-Ree Multimedia, a fabless semiconductor company
        that designs, develops and markets multimedia systems-on-chips,
        announced On2 Video playback on the Boo-Ree Tachyon-I multimedia
        processor with high-performance hardware playback of On2 VP6 and VP7,
        and other formats.

    --  Also in April, On2 announced its fastest hardware codec design ever, the
        Hantro(TM) 9170. The design supports video playback up to full HD
        (1080p) resolution at 60 frames per second in multiple formats including
        MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, Sorenson Spark(R), H.263, H.264, VC-1 and
        REALVIDEO(R) 8, 9 & 10. On2 also completed a successful Beta test of
        and announced the availability of its Flix Cloud on-demand video
        transcoding service.

    --  In April, On2 announced that ASUS, a leading provider of digital home
        solutions and Internet devices, has licensed the On2 VP7 format and
        encoder/decoder software SDK to develop Skype-enabled videophones.

    --  In May, On2 announced that it had licensed VP6 encoding technology to
        Verismo Networks for use in its VuNow Internet TV platform, and that
        Chinese web portal NetEase would be deploying On2's VP6 technology.

    --  In June, On2 announced that Mobixell Networks, a provider of multimedia
        and advertising solutions to mobile operators and content providers, had
        licensed the VP6 Codec SDK for use in Mobixell's mobile multimedia
        processing and optimization platform.

Google Acquisition

As announced yesterday, On2 entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Google. Under the terms of the agreement, each outstanding share of On2 common stock will be converted into $0.60 worth of Google class A common stock in a stock-for-stock transaction.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

Except for historical information and discussions contained herein, certain statements included in this press release may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements included in this document, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that management expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements represent our reasonable judgment on the future based on various factors and using numerous assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results and financial position to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as "expect," "will," "anticipate," "should," "plans" and other words of similar meaning. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the proposed acquisition of On2 by Google and our belief relating to encouraging longer term trends being established through a combination of revenue growth and effective cost management. Investors should not rely on forward-looking statements because they are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectation. Additional information concerning risk factors is contained from time to time in the Company's SEC filings.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

On2 has provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share and GAAP operating expenses excluding costs associated with proposed merger and litigation settlement costs. This non-GAAP information is provided to enhance the reader's overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance and prospects for the future. Specifically, On2 believes that the exclusion of non-recurring expenses provides useful comparative data by reflecting On2's business operations in a manner that is consistent with expected future operations. Management has historically used non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share when evaluating operating performance because we believe the exclusion of the items described above provides an additional measure of our core operating results and facilitates comparisons of our core operating performance against prior periods and our business model objectives. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the financial tables of our earnings press release, On2 has included for the relevant periods reconciliations of GAAP net loss and GAAP net loss per share to non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share and GAAP operating expenses excluding costs associated with proposed merger costs and litigation settlement costs.
