Adeia Inc. (Nasdaq: ADEA) (the “Company” or “Adeia”), the technology company pioneering foundational innovations that shape how the world computes, connects and experiences entertainment, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.
“I am honored to join Adeia at such an exciting time as AI is driving innovation in both media and semiconductors, and Adeia’s foundational technologies are at the heart of these trends,” said Dipti Vachani, chief executive officer of Adeia. “Our third quarter results reflected strong deal activity with eight license agreements signed across Pay-TV, consumer electronics, e-commerce and social media. Those deals included significant renewals with long-time customers Charter and TCL and four new customers during the quarter. We are on target to achieve our long-term annual revenue outlook of $600 million and we remain excited about our future.”
Vachani continued, “I want to thank the Board for their confidence in me and Paul Davis for his support during this transition. Through my nearly 30 years of experience in the semiconductor space, I have a deep understanding of the technology, the ecosystem and the barriers to scale that Adeia customers are experiencing. With my proven track record, coupled with our talented team of innovators and extensive patent portfolios, I am confident that we have all the ingredients to grow and expand our business.”
“We are pleased with the progress that we have made to date as our pipeline remains strong and is growing,” said Keith Jones, chief financial officer. “As we approach the end of the year, our revenue could be impacted by the ultimate timing of executing a select few deals. We remain confident in our ability to achieve the high-end of our revenue guidance range for 2026. However, we felt it prudent to adjust the range to reflect the potential impact to the extent certain of these deals are executed beyond the end of the year.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Company’s earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures adjusted, where applicable, for either one-time or ongoing non-cash acquired intangibles amortization charges, costs related to actual or planned business combinations including transaction fees, integration costs, severance, facility closures, and retention bonuses, separation costs, all forms of stock-based compensation, leadership transition costs, loss on debt extinguishment, expensed debt refinancing costs, impairment of intangible assets, impact of certain foreign currency adjustments, discontinued operations and related tax effects. In addition, adjusted EBITDA adjusts for recurring charges of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures used in this release provide investors with important perspectives on the Company’s ongoing business and financial performance and are helpful to provide investors with an understanding of our core operating results reflecting our normal business operations. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations in that the non-GAAP financial measures we use may not be directly comparable to those reported by other companies. For example, the terms used in this press release, such as EBITDA margin, which is defined as EBITDA as a percentage of revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) do not have a standardized meaning. Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of our performance in relation to other companies. We seek to compensate for the limitation of our non-GAAP presentation by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables attached hereto. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. All financial data is presented on a GAAP basis except where the Company indicates its presentation is on a non-GAAP basis.
Set forth below are reconciliations of the Company’s reported and forecasted GAAP to non-GAAP financial metrics.
