InterDigital Issues Financial Guidance for Third Quarter 2012

InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDCC) today announced financial guidance for third quarter 2012. InterDigital expects third quarter 2012 revenue to be approximately $435 million, including $375 million from the proceeds of the sale of roughly 1,700 patents and patent applications to Intel Corporation. This revenue guidance does not include the potential impact of any additional new agreements that may be signed during the balance of third quarter 2012 or the potential impact of any royalties identified in audits regularly conducted by the company. The company is finalizing its accounting for the Intel transaction, but currently expects to recognize approximately $15 million in expenses associated with the patent sale in third quarter 2012, the majority of which relate to the write off of the carrying value for the patents sold.

“Our projected third quarter revenue demonstrates the strength of our strategy of expanding the monetization of our patent portfolio beyond licensing to include patent sales and other patent-related opportunities,” commented William J. Merritt, InterDigital’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “While we forecast a decrease in per-unit revenue in third quarter 2012 from selected licensees, mainly in Japan, we believe the strength and diversity of our expected total revenue stream provides us with the necessary resources as we continue to pursue additional patent sales and significant value-adding patent licensing opportunities.”
