ADEIA ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Signed multi-year license renewal with Google, which includes YouTube TV, one of the largest Pay-TV providers
Signed multi-year license agreement with RPX, encompassing 10 new e-commerce customers
Long-term annual revenue outlook increased to $600 million on the strength of our semiconductor business
SAN JOSE, Calif. – August 3, 2026 – Adeia Inc. (Nasdaq: ADEA) (the “Company” or “Adeia”) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
“Second quarter revenue of $96 million was in line with our expectations, and we generated $55 million in operating cash flow with a 59% adjusted EBITDA margin,” said Paul E. Davis, chief executive officer of Adeia. “We closed six license agreements during the quarter, across OTT, e-commerce, consumer electronics and Pay-TV. We closed a significant multi-year renewal with Google, which has been a valued licensee for approximately 15 years and whose YouTube TV platform is one of the fastest growing Pay-TV services in the country. We also signed a seminal, multi-year license agreement with RPX, adding 10 new e-commerce customers under a single agreement. With the RPX deal and a new license agreement with L'Oréal, we now have 15 customers across six agreements in e-commerce — a business we built from the ground up over just the past two years. Non-Pay-TV recurring revenue for the quarter grew 54% year-over-year, continuing a multi-quarter trend as our non-Pay-TV pipeline remains robust and continues to grow.”
Davis continued, “We are raising our long-term annual revenue outlook to $600 million from $500 million driven by confidence in our semiconductor business being able to reach $200 million in annual revenue. This new semiconductor outlook is based on the trajectory of hybrid bonding adoption across both memory and logic in connection with the AI infrastructure build-out and high-performance computing demand. Our media growth target remains strong at $400 million, supported by continued momentum in OTT, e-commerce, consumer electronics and social media. I am very pleased with the progress we have made in the first half of the year and we remain focused on execution across the business to achieve our goals for the year. Our strategic initiatives remain on track, including increasing our long-term revenue, growing our IP portfolio primarily through our organic innovation engine, maintaining a balanced capital allocation approach and growing our opportunity pipeline.”

These forward-looking statements are based on information available to the Company as of the date hereof, as well as the Company’s current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections that involve risks and uncertainties. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business, financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “could,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “might,” “potentially,” “estimate,” “continue,” “target,” similar expressions or the negatives of these words or other comparable terminology that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. All forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and are not guarantees of future results.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements and caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: the Company’s ability to implement its business strategy; the Company’s ability to enter into new and renewal license agreements with customers on favorable terms; the Company’s ability to retain and hire key personnel; uncertainty as to the long-term value of the Company’s common stock; legislative, regulatory and economic developments affecting the Company’s business; general economic and market developments and conditions; the Company’s ability to grow and expand its patent portfolios; changes in technology and development of new technology in the industries in which in which the Company operates; the evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes under which the Company operates; unforeseen liabilities and expenses; risks associated with the Company’s indebtedness; unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities, natural disasters and global health pandemics, each of which may have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the Company’s business, are more fully discussed in the

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.
