  Share This Story

EDISON, N.J., Sept. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Majesco Entertainment Company Inc. (Nasdaq: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today reported financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended July 31, 2008.

For the third quarter ended July 31, 2008, Majesco's net revenues increased 44 percent to $14.5 million versus the year ago period. During this same period, the Company reported operating income of $0.3 million compared to an operating loss of $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2007. Net income for the quarter was $0.5 million versus a net loss of $1.5 million in 2007. The Company's basic and diluted earnings per share for this quarter were $0.02 compared to a loss of $0.06 in the same period last year. As discussed below, the Company's net income included a $0.4 million gain in the change of the fair value of warrants in the quarter.

For the nine months ended July 31, 2008, Majesco's net revenues increased 17 percent to $46 million versus the year ago period. During this same period, the Company reported operating income of $2.4 million compared to an operating loss of $2.3 million. Net income through nine months was $3.0 million versus a net loss of $3.8 million in 2007. The Company's basic and diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 were $0.11 compared to a loss of $0.16 in 2007. As discussed below, the Company's net income included a $1.0 million gain in the change of the fair value of warrants year to date.

Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer of Majesco Entertainment, said, "We are extremely pleased with our execution during the quarter as we exceeded all of our expectations. Our third quarter results highlight our ability to execute and deliver on our mass market, family friendly strategy and the growth potential that is inherent in our business model. Further, our financial results demonstrate the significant progress we have made in regards to profitability as we drive revenues and continue to prudently manage our costs. For the third quarter 2008, net sales increased 44 percent to $14.5 million, while gross margin grew to 43 percent. The growth in both net sales and margin is attributable to the 87 percent increase in our domestic sales driven by the continued success of our 'Cooking Mama' franchise, our newly released 'Wonderworld Amusement Park' for Wii, and strong demand for 'Cake Mania 2' for DS. Looking ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2008, we have raised our fiscal year revenue guidance to a range of $58 million to $60 million. In addition, we expect to be profitable for fiscal 2008. This performance is despite the move of our Cooking Mama sequel for Wii closer to the December holiday sales season and into our fiscal first quarter 2009.

"We remained focused on delivering titles targeted toward the mass market, casual gamer as we launched four new titles in the third quarter, bringing the number of titles released in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 to 14. Two titles shipped in the quarter were for Nintendo's Wii system and two were for Nintendo's DS handheld," continued Sutton. "We are making significant progress in developing our intellectual property portfolio, as our studio is on schedule to release its first title 'Our House' for DS and recently announced its second title 'Wonderworld Amusement Park' for DS, both of which are set for release in fiscal 2009. We remain poised to further improve our financial position as we continue to deliver on our strategy, expand our revenue base and build our intellectual property assets."

       an improvement of $6.8 million from the year ago period

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and Non-GAAP Metrics

To facilitate a comparison between the three and nine months ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company has presented both GAAP and Non-GAAP financial results. GAAP financial measures, including operating income, net income, and basic and diluted earnings/loss per share, have been adjusted to report Non-GAAP financial measures which exclude gains due to changes in the value of our common stock to be issued in settlement of the class action litigation and related charges, net, and the change in the fair value of warrants issued in connection with our September 2007 equity financing. These Non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance and the Company's prospects for the future. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to GAAP results.

In the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, the Company recorded a $2.8 million charge in connection with the expected settlement of class action litigation. The charge was comprised of $2.5 million, representing the fair value, on the date the agreement was executed, of the common stock expected to be distributed when the settlement becomes effective and $0.3 million representing a change in the value of the shares from that date through October 31, 2007.

The Company will adjust the fair value of the liability to the fair value of the shares expected to be distributed at each balance sheet date and record the resulting change as a non-cash charge, or gain, to earnings in each period until the shares are distributed. Due to fluctuations in the Company's stock price, this resulted in a non-cash gain of $0.3 million during the nine months ended July 31, 2008. The settlement provides that if the fair value of the stock falls below $2.5 million, the Company will issue additional shares, subject to certain limitations, with a fair market value equal to the amount of the decrease. Therefore, the liability will not be adjusted below $2.5 million.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company raised $5.9 million in an equity financing. As part of that transaction, the Company issued warrants that contain a provision that under certain circumstances in which the Company is sold, merged, or otherwise enters into a "fundamental transaction," as defined in the warrant agreement, with a company that is not publicly traded, the warrants may be settled by a cash payment. As a result, the warrants were recorded as a liability at their fair value of $2.1 million, in accordance with FASB statement No. 150, Accounting For Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity, and FASB Staff position 150-1 Issuers Accounting for Freestanding Financial Instruments Composed of More Than One Option or Forward Contract Embodying Obligations under FASB Statement 150. In addition, the Company will measure the fair value of the warrants at each balance sheet date, and record the change in fair value as a non-cash charge or gain to earnings each period. Changes in the Company's stock price resulted in a non-cash gain of $0.4 million during the quarter ended July 31, 2008 and $1.0 million during the nine months ended July 31, 2008. The warrants were valued at $0.5 million at July 31, 2008.

Comparison of Three Months Ended July 31, 2008 to July 31, 2007

-- Net revenue was $14.5 million in 2008 compared to $10.0 million in 2007. The increase is primarily due to strong sales of "Wonderworld Amusement Park" for Wii, strong demand for "Cake Mania 2" for DS and continued success of our "Cooking Mama" franchise.

-- In the third quarter of 2008, 92 percent of revenue came from domestic sales with only 8 percent from international. This compares to the third quarter of 2007 when 71 percent of revenue came from domestic sales with 29 percent from international.

-- Gross margin was 42.5 percent, compared to 29.5 percent in 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to two new releases for the Nintendo Wii console in 2008, and the strong performance of our domestic products. Additionally, our margin benefited from the final payment stemming from a minimum purchase order for our 2007 agreement to distribute Dance, Dance Revolution.

-- GAAP operating income was $0.3 million compared to 2007 operating loss of $1.3 million. Non-GAAP 2008 operating loss was $0.3 million, compared to Non-GAAP operating loss of $1.4 million in 2007.

-- GAAP net income was $0.5 million, or $0.02 per share, which included a $0.4 million non-cash gain in the fair value of warrants issued, compared to third quarter 2007 GAAP net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.06 per share. Non-GAAP net income was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a Non-GAAP net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.07 per share in 2007.

-- Interest expense and financing costs were $0.1 million in 2008 versus $0.3 million in 2007, as the Company benefited from the ability to self finance operations due to the capital raised last fall and lower factoring fees.

-- At July 31, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7.8 million.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended July 31, 2008 to July 31, 2007

-- Net revenue was $45.9 million in 2008 compared to $39.1 million in 2007.

-- In the nine months of fiscal 2008, 94 percent of revenue came from domestic sales with 6 percent from International. This compares to 87 percent domestic and 13 percent international in the same period last year. Domestic sales increased 26.9 percent over 2007, which included $2.9 million from the sale of Dance Dance Revolution products.

-- Gross margin was 39.4 percent compared to 34.8 percent in the same period during 2007.

-- GAAP operating income was $2.4 million in 2008, which included a $0.3 million gain for the "class action" litigation. This was compared to an operating loss of $2.3 million during the same period in 2007, which included a $2.5 million charge for the "class action" litigation. Non-GAAP operating income for the nine months of 2008 was $2.1 million, compared to Non-GAAP operating loss of $0.1 million for the same period in 2007.

-- GAAP net income was $3.0 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to a 2007 net loss of $3.8 million, or $0.16 per share, which included a $2.5 million charge for the "class action" litigation. Non-GAAP net income was $1.7 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to Non-GAAP net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.07 per share, in 2007.

-- Interest expense and financing costs were $0.4 million for the nine months of 2008 versus $1.5 million during the same period in 2007. The reduction was attributable to the Company's ability to self-finance most of its purchasing requirements following a financing of $5.9 million in September 2007, in addition to reduced fees.

Fiscal 2008 Outlook

The Company is increasing its fiscal 2008 full year net revenue guidance to a range of $58 million to $60 million from its previous expectation of $53 million to $58 million. The revised guidance also reflects the change in the release date of Cooking Mama: World Kitchen for Wii from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2009. The Company also expects to be profitable for 2008. The Company believes that its mix of international revenues for the year will approximate 10 to 15 percent of worldwide revenues, a slight decline from previous years' range of 15 to 20 percent. The Company expects full-year 2008 gross margins to show modest improvement over the 33.9 percent reported in 2007. The Company's guidance assumes the release of approximately 24 titles in 2008 with approximately 9 Wii, 12 DS titles and 3 other. This compares to 19 titles in 2007, comprised of 2 Wii, 13 DS and 4 other. The Company's results are impacted by seasonality from the December holiday period and variability based on release schedules.

    (1) During the nine months ended October 31, 2007, we recorded a $2.5
        million charge in connection with shares of common stock that we have
        agreed to issue in settlement of  a class action securities litigation
        against the Company. The charge of $2.5 million represented the fair
        value, on the date the settlement agreement was executed, of the
        common stock expected to be distributed when the settlement becomes
        effective.  The value of the shares to be issued in the settlement are
        revalued at each balance sheet date, and a corresponding charge or
        credit to earnings is recorded to earnings for the amount of the
        change.  The value of the shares to be issued in the settlement was
        $2.8 million at October 31, 2007, and $2.5 million at July 31, 2008.
        Therefore, during the nine months ended July 31, 2008, we recorded a
        gain on litigation settlement of $0.3 million representing the decline
        in the value of the shares to be issued under the settlement, as if it
        occurred on July 31, 2008.
    (2) Represents the change in the fair value of warrants, classified as a
        liability. The fair value of the warrants is calculated at each
        balance sheet date with a corresponding charge or credit to earnings
        for the amount of the change in fair value.
