SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Adeia Inc. (Nasdaq: ADEA) (the “Company” or “Adeia”) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“In the third quarter, we signed 7 deals in multiple verticals including consumer electronics, Pay-TV, OTT and semiconductor. Our financial results remain solid as we delivered $86.1 million in revenue and an EBITDA margin of approximately 60%. We continue to execute on our long-term strategy and we are making significant progress in expanding our pipeline of opportunities in OTT, semiconductor and adjacent media markets. We remain confident in our ability to achieve our long-term revenue growth target. We also continued to make accelerated repayments on our debt during the quarter and with our Board’s recent increased share repurchase authorization we look forward to taking a more balanced approach to capital allocation beginning in the fourth quarter, which includes our quarterly dividend, debt paydown, tuck-in acquisitions, and stock repurchases,” said Paul E. Davis, chief executive officer of Adeia. “As demonstrated by the over 100 license agreements we have signed since the beginning of 2021, our preferred approach is to find a mutually acceptable resolution without litigation. However, we occasionally need to file litigation to protect the value of our intellectual property. Earlier today we filed litigation against The Walt Disney Company and certain of its subsidiaries, including Hulu and ESPN. While we remain open to a mutually beneficial resolution, we are confident in the litigation we filed and are fully prepared to proceed through the entirety of the legal process.”
