Adeia reports Q1 EPS 26c, consensus 25c

Reports Q1 revenue $87.67M, consensus $88.96M. “We had a strong start to the year with revenue of $87.7 million which was in line with our expectations, and we generated $57.1 million in cash from operations,” said Paul Davis, chief executive officer of Adeia (ADEA). “We closed 10 deals in the first quarter, continuing our momentum from last year. Importantly four of these were new deals in key growth areas such as social media, OTT, and semiconductors. Our commitment to innovation continues as we focus on growth markets in our media and semiconductor businesses that will drive future technology adoption. Our worldwide patent portfolio now includes over 12,750 total patent assets, an impressive 32% increase since separation over two years ago. This increase was driven primarily by our talented R&D teams that are focused on groundbreaking innovations in emerging technologies, including for AI, advanced semiconductors, and the future of entertainment. We executed on all elements of our balanced capital allocation approach, including continued debt paydown, stock repurchases, tuck-in acquisitions and dividend payments, while ending the quarter with a stronger cash position. Our long-term license agreements with well-established customers, expanding technology offerings, and strong customer pipeline, support the resilience of our business and we are reiterating our 2025 guidance.”
