GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2005 was $6.1 million, compared to $8.8 million for the second quarter of 2004. Diluted GAAP earnings per share for the quarter were $0.12, compared with $0.18 for the year ago quarter.

"Our second quarter activities have been directed at building for the future," said Fred Amoroso, President and CEO at Macrovision. "With our acquisition of Zero G, we strengthened our multi-server, multi-operating system offering for complex software installation environments. Further, with our acquisition of Trymedia last week we expanded our PC games CD-ROM copy protection business into a more comprehensive full service online distribution business."

Amoroso continued, "During the quarter we made progress in gaining traction with our three new entertainment technologies’ products – Hawkeye for peer-to-peer anti-piracy; CDS-300 for music copy protection; and RipGuard for preventing PC ripping. We signed several new contracts and deployed the technologies in many of the major worldwide manufacturing facilities. However, the DVD industry appears to have hit a few road bumps and our customers are forecasting lower DVD growth in future quarters. This will naturally impact our copy protection business. Looking ahead, we are lowering our FY2005 guidance for revenues to be between $205 and $215 million, and for our pro forma EPS to be between $0.89 and $0.92. For Q3 2005, we are estimating that our business will be essentially flat compared to Q2 in the range of $46-$48 million and our pro forma EPS will be in the range of $0.15 to $0.17. However, for Q4, we are expecting our traditional seasonally strong performance."
