Adeia reports Q3 EPS 28c, consensus 34c

Reports Q3 revenue $87.3M, consensus $99.24M. “Third quarter revenue of $87.3 million was in line with our expectations for the quarter and our cash generative business model continues to deliver impressive 58% adjusted EBITDA margins,” said Paul E. Davis, chief executive officer of Adeia (ADEA). “Importantly, non-Pay-TV recurring revenue grew 31% year-over-year in the third quarter, demonstrating our successful efforts signing agreements in semiconductors, OTT and adjacent media markets. We closed two long-term media deals during the quarter, one renewal with a significant Pay-TV customer and the other a license with a new e-commerce customer. We are continuing to invest and innovate across the AI ecosystem, including AI capabilities and foundational infrastructure, for our current and future media and semiconductor customers. Our innovations continue to receive industry recognition, with our hybrid bonding technology receiving a ‘Best of Show’ award for ‘Most Innovative Technology’ at the prestigious FMS: the Future of Memory and Storage conference in August. Since early 2021 we have successfully signed approximately 145 license agreements with customers who recognize the value of our IP. While we always prefer to find a mutually acceptable resolution without litigation, disputes occasionally arise that require us to take a different path to achieve fair value for our innovations. Today we filed patent infringement litigation against AMD for its extensive and unauthorized use of our semiconductor portfolio across its product lines, particularly our patents related to hybrid bonding and advanced process nodes. While we remain open to a mutually beneficial resolution, we are fully prepared to proceed through the entirety of the legal process and we are confident in our ability to achieve a positive outcome. While we still have paths to achieve our original revenue guidance range for the year, we have taken a prudent approach and adjusted our 2025 full-year guidance primarily to reflect that the license agreement we had been pursuing with AMD is now unlikely to close in the fourth quarter of this year as we had previously expected.”
