InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDCC) today announced financial guidance for
fourth quarter 2012. The company expects fourth quarter 2012 revenue to
be between $62 million and $64 million. This revenue guidance is based
on royalty reports received to date, and does not include the potential
impact of any new patent license, technology solutions or patent sale
agreements that may be signed, or any arbitration decisions that may be
received, during the balance of fourth quarter 2012.
"We expect fourth quarter 2012 revenue to be at least $62 million, of
which approximately $61 million is expected to relate to current patent
royalties. That amount of current patent royalties, if realized, would
represent a 6% increase over third quarter 2012,” said Richard J
Brezski, InterDigital’s Chief Financial Officer. “The expected
sequential increase in current patent royalties is primarily due to
stronger sales volumes from our Japan-based licensees. Whether we
achieve the high end of our forecasted revenue range depends on the
timing of the resolution of an outstanding audit with an existing
licensee and the receipt of an additional royalty report covering past
sales. Any additional increase in fourth quarter revenue above the
expected range would be largely dependent upon the entry into potential
new agreements and/or arbitration results.”
