Current report

Although a significant portion of our revenue is derived from fixed-fee and minimum-guarantee arrangements from large, well-capitalized customers, our per-unit and variable-fee based revenue will continue to be susceptible to direct or indirect effects from macroeconomic events, such as armed conflict, geopolitical factors, tariffs, market volatility, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, microchip shortages, changes in demand for semiconductors, market and industry downturns, global health concerns, outbreaks and pandemics. In addition, to the extent that our customers experience significant, adverse impacts from such macroeconomic events, such events may affect their financial health and our ability to continue receiving revenues from these customers.

Current report

Revenue increased by $4.3 million, or 5.1%, from $83.4 million in 2024 to $87.7 million in 2025.

Current report

The increase of $2.7 million was primarily attributable to the execution of two multi-year license agreements with new customers for access to our media portfolio in the first quarter of 2025.

Previous report

On October 1, 2022, we completed the previously announced separation (“the Separation”) of its product business into an independent, publicly-traded company, Xperi Inc. (“Xperi Inc.”). The Separation was structured as a spin-off, which was achieved through Adeia’s distribution of 100 percent of the outstanding shares of Xperi Inc.’s common stock to holders of Adeia’s common stock as of the close of business on the record date of September 21, 2022 (the “Record Date”). Each Adeia stockholder of record received four shares of Xperi Inc. common stock for every ten shares of Adeia common stock that it held on the Record Date. Following the Separation, Adeia retains no ownership interest in Xperi Inc., which is now listed under the ticker symbol “XPER” on the New York Stock Exchange. Effective at the open of business on October 3, 2022, Adeia’s shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the new ticker symbol “ADEA”.

Previous report

The decrease in interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same periods in 2023, was primarily due to lower debt balance and lower interest rates on our variable interest rate debt due to the repricing of our Term Loan B during the second quarter of 2024.
