SYMBOL LOOKUP

For the quarter ended March 31, DTS earned $1.3 million, or 7 cents per share, compared with a loss of $765,000, or 4 cents per share, for the same quarter in 2007.

Income from continuing operations rose to $3.3 million, or 18 cents per share, from $2 million, or 11 cents per share, in the same quarter last year.

Revenue rose 21 percent to $15.2 million, from $12.6 million in the year-ago period.

The results beat Wall Street predictions. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial expected a profit of 13 cents per share on $14.4 million in revenue.

DTS attributed the revenue increase to growth in the high definition optical media markets, mainly related to game consoles and stand-alone players.

Revenue related to high definition products accounted for about 21 percent of the company's first-quarter total, up from 5 percent in the same period last year.

DTS shares rose 21 cents to $28.71 in aftermarket trading, after falling 34 cents to $28.50 in the regular session.
