Video compression company DivX (NSDQ: DIVX) reported Q3 revenue of $21.9 million, up 42 percent over last year’s $15.4 million. Excluding share-based compensation and certain other items, the company earned net income of $5.9 million, up 73 percent from last year’s $3.4 million. Including those items, earnings in the quarter came to $800,000, with much of the difference attributable to $4 million in costs associated with potential spin-off video sharing service Stage6. Although DivX has struggled to please investors since going public about a year ago, this announcement is going over well — the stock was up more than 14 percent in early after-hour trading.
