`
`lnterDigital reveals new licensing deal with Google secured
`through mystery platform
`
`Global November 11 2019
`
`For the most part patent pools haven't made the same kind of inroads in the wireless space with handset
`manufacturers as they have in other areas of technology. Some operators, such as Sisvel and Via Licensing, have
`established programmes but the largest owners of 2G, 3G, 4G and now 5G standard essential patents (SEPs) have
`generally opted to license device makers themselves.
`
`There are signs that this is not going to be the case in other industries that are increasingly connected . This
`includes auto, where Avanci has made significant headway, but it's still early days on that front.
`
`However, an intriguing tip off about a new platform that could be making some progress was buried in InterDigital's
`recent announcement of its third quarter results. Shortly after the quarter closed, the company revealed that it had
`signed new licensing agreements with both ZTE and Google - and it was the news around the latter that caught my
`eye.
`
`On a call with analysts, InterDigital COO Kai Oistamo revealed that the agreement with the search giant had been
`"signed through a patent licensing platform that involved a number of licensors". Oistamo then praised the approach
`as an "essentially frictionless way" to finalise a deal.
`
`The approach was also applauded by company CEO Bill Merritt, who claimed it to be "more efficient", as well as
`providing: "A solid benchmark for both sides to use in subsequent discussions with other companies, whether
`licensee or licensor."
`
`InterDigital is a member of Avanci, but when it comes to licensing handset makers it has typically opted for bilateral
`deals. This new agreement with Google suggests the company is open to a different approach and indicates that a
`new platform might be getting traction.
`
`But details on that platform remain, thus far, few and far between. According to an InterDigital spokesperson, the
`company was approached by an unnamed broker (whose name they said can't be disclosed for confidentiality
`reasons) about a possible deal with Google, but they don't know the identity of the other patent owners in the pool.
`The company only knows the royalty rate which they're being paid and the basis on which that rate was calculated.

`
`It still seems unlikely that some of the largest SEP owners like Qualcomm, which generate billions in licensing
`revenues each year, would sign up to such a programme, but the fact that InterDigital, one of the leading wireless
`licensors, has agreed to a deal is a strong indication that this new platform could prove successful. Large parts of the
`licensor and licensee communities in the handset space would certainly welcome a litigation-free, relatively
`frictionless approach to dealmaking.

`
`INTERDIGITAL ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THIRD
`~M~~.~QJ~GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- lnterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), a mobile and video technology research and
`
`development company, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019.
`
`Third Quarter 2019 Financial Highlights
`
`• Third quarter 2019 recurring revenue was $72.1 million, compared to recurring revenue of $75.0 million in third quarter 2018. This
`decrease was driven by lower royalties from one of our Taiwanese licensees.
`
`• Third quarter 2019 operating expenses were $68.7 million, compared to $62.2 million in third quarter 2018. The increase was
`primarily driven by $15.8 million in costs related to the acquisition ofTechnicolor SA's (Euronext Paris:TCH) {OTCQX:TCLRY) patent
`licensing business and Research and Innovation (R&I) research and development organization. Of those, $6.2 million were either
`transaction, integration or amortization expenses.
`
`• Third quarter 2019 net income1 was $2.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share compared to net income1 of $21.8 million, or $0.61 per
`diluted share, in third quarter 2018.
`
`"In third quarter we were successful at holding expenses below our expectations, and we remain completely on track to bring our
`expenses to the levels we saw prior to the acquisition of the Technicolor licensing business and the expansion of our R&D footprint," said
`William J. Merritt, President and CEO of lnterDigital. "Those efforts came together with redoubled licensing efforts that resulted in new
`successes in fourth quarter, highlighting the strength and operating leverage of our business model."
`
`Additional Highlights
`
`•
`
`In third quarter 2019, the company recorded $125.5 million of cash provided by operating activities, compared to $170.4 million of
`cash provided by operating activities in third quarter 2018. The company generated $117.0 million of free cash flow2 in third quarter
`2019, compared to $160.7 million of free cash flow generated in third quarter 2018. Free cash flow is driven by the timing of cash
`
`collections under fixed-fee agreements. Ending cash and short-term investments as of September 30, 2019 totaled $0.9 billion.
`
`•
`
`In third quarter 2019, the company recognized a tax benefit of $0.2 million compared to a tax benefit of $21.1 million in third quarter
`2018.
`
`• Other Income (Expense), net in third quarter 2019 included $8.5 million to record the gain resulting from the sale of the company's
`Hillcrest Laboratories product business to a subsidiary of CEVA, Inc. As part of the transaction, the company retained substantially
`all of the Hillcrest patent assets that it acquired in 2016. This gain was partially offset by the recognition of a $3.3 million loss
`resulting from a partial impairment of one of the company's long-term investments.
`
`• Shortly after third quarter 2019, the company added two new patent licensees, ZTE Corporation and Google.

`
`Footnotes
`
`1 Throughout this press release, net income (loss) and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") are attributable to lnterDigital, Inc. (e.g., after
`adjustments for noncontrolling interests). unless otherwise stated.
`
`2 Free cash flow is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that lnterDigital believes is helpful in evaluating the company's ability to
`invest in its business, make strategic acquisitions and fund share repurchases, among other things. A limitation of the utility of free cash
`
`flow as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the company's cash balance for
`the period. lnterDigital defines "free cash flow" as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment,
`technology licenses and investments in patents. lnterDigital's computation of free cash flow might not be comparable to free cash flow
`reported by other companies. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of
`accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and
`presented in accordance with GAAP. A detailed reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash used in operating activities, the most directly
`comparable GAAP financial measure, is provided at the end of this press release.

`
`can find the cellular communications technology patent licenses they
`need. Licensing fees are tied to the value the technology adds to the
`connected device, not the product's sales price.
`
`Royalties will vary from one type of device to the next, based on the value
`the technology brings to the device. For example, the royalty will be
`different when the licensed product is a connected vehicle that
`continuously provides a hotspot, navigation data, streaming
`entertainment, enhanced safety, warranty services and remote
`performance monitoring, rather than a smart meter that only sends
`intermittent data on consumption.
