  Content	SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adeia Inc. (Nasdaq: ADEA) (the “Company” or “Adeia”) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024. “Our fourth quarter results showed the evolution of our business model as we continued to grow and expand into our target growth markets. During the quarter, we signed 10 deals across multiple verticals, bringing the total deals for the year to 32. We are very pleased with our deal execution closing out the year with 4 new customer agreements, including important new strategic deals with Amazon, Canon and with a luxury retailer e-commerce customer. These new deals further expand and diversify our customer base. In addition, we continued our strong track record of renewal agreements with Roku and Sharp in the consumer electronics market,” said Paul E. Davis, chief executive officer of Adeia. “Our record post-separation revenue and operating cash flows, and our best-in-class operating margin of 67%, were driven by our strong deal momentum in the fourth quarter. We also executed on our balanced capital allocation approach in the quarter, making accelerated debt payments of $50.0 million, repurchasing $20.0 million of our common stock, acquiring strategic patent assets and maintaining our dividend program.” “In 2024 we grew our total patent portfolio by an impressive 12% year over year, ending with over 12,000 total patent assets at year-end,” continued Davis. “The growth in our patent portfolio was fueled by our internal R&D efforts focused on innovations for generative AI, disruptive technologies targeted towards our adjacent media markets, and emerging technologies for the semiconductor industry. Our R&D teams are dedicated to solving the critical future needs of the semiconductor and media markets, and this continues to drive both new deal wins and renewals with our existing customers. I'm encouraged by the progress we've made in our business in 2024 including the expansion of our pipeline of new opportunities. In the coming year, we plan to add new customers in our target growth markets while maintaining our high renewal rate in our core markets. Our strong operational execution and financial performance over the past year provide a solid foundation for growth in 2025.” Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights Revenue was $119.2 million as compared to $86.1 million in the third quarter of 2024 GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.32 and non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.47 GAAP net income was $36.0 million and adjusted EBITDA was $80.3 million Cash flows from operations was $107.5 million Paid down $50.0 million on our term loan Repurchased $20.0 million of our common stock Full Year 2024 Financial Highlights Revenue was $376.0 million as compared to $388.8 million in 2023 GAAP diluted EPS was $0.57 and non-GAAP diluted EPS was $1.26 GAAP net income was $64.6 million and adjusted EBITDA was $234.3 million Cash flows from operations was $212.5 million Paid down $114.2 million on our term loan Repurchased $20.0 million of our common stock Business Highlights Signed multi-year license agreements with new customers, including Amazon, Canon and a luxury retailer e-commerce customer for access to our media portfolio Signed multi-year renewals with Roku and Sharp for access to our media portfolio Signed multi-year renewals with three Pay-TV operators and an international OTT provider for access to our media portfolio Signed a technology transfer agreement with a new semiconductor customer, providing high performance imaging and detection systems, for access to our hybrid bonding technology In 2024, we acquired strategic patent portfolios for targeted growth markets, including OTT and broadband connectivity In January 2025, repriced our term loan B, which lowered our interest rate by 50 basis points Capital Allocation During the quarter, the Company made $50.0 million in principal payments towards its term loan B, bringing the outstanding balance to $487.1 million as of December 31, 2024.

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, 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.
