"We delivered robust revenue growth in both the smartphone and CE and IoT markets, and upside to our financial targets in the third quarter driven by strong licensing activity, including an agreement with Lenovo for our HEVC video patents," commented Liren Chen, President and CEO, InterDigital. "This agreement highlights our progress in realizing value from our video compression IP, demonstrating that we have multiple avenues for driving growth across the business. With momentum across licensing, innovation and industry leadership, we believe the company has never been in a stronger position."
Third Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights, as compared to Third Quarter 2022:
GAAP
•Total revenue was $140.1 million and increased 22% primarily due to catch-up revenues from two new patent license agreements signed in third quarter 2023.

•Recurring revenue was $104.5 million and increased 3%.

•Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share3 was $2.13 and increased 81%.
Return of Capital to Shareholders
During the third quarter 2023, the Company returned $66.1 million to shareholders, including $9.3 million, or $0.35 per share, of cash dividends paid and $56.9 million through the repurchase of 0.7 million shares of common stock.
•We announced an increase to the quarterly cash dividend from $0.35 to $0.40 per share, beginning with the dividend paid in the fourth quarter 2023.
Recent Business Highlights

We joined the Avanci 5G automotive pool as a founding member.
Convida Wireless, our joint venture with Sony focused on IoT and cloud services innovation, appointed a President and Chief Licensing Officer.



•Research & Development: In Q3 we filed the highest number of new invention filings ever in a quarter and we are on track for a record year.
Our industry leadership in cellular standards was highlighted by the election of one of our senior wireless standards engineers to chair the RAN2 working group within 3GPP, the standards body that leads the development of 5G and future 6G standards.
•Patent Portfolio: As a result of our innovation momentum our patent portfolio passed 30,000 granted patents and pending applications.

Footnotes
1    Throughout this press release, net income and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are attributable to InterDigital, Inc. (e.g., after adjustments for non-controlling interests), unless otherwise stated. Net income margin is net income attributable to InterDigital, Inc. over total revenues.
2    Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that InterDigital believes provide investors with important insight into the Company's ongoing business performance. InterDigital defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to InterDigital Inc. plus net loss attributable to non-controlling interest, income tax (provision) benefit, other income (expense) & interest expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and other items. Other items include restructuring costs, impairment charges and other non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA over total revenues. These non-GAAP financial measures used by the company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. A detailed reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is provided below.
3    Non-GAAP net income, Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, and Non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that InterDigital believes provides investors with important insight into the Company's ongoing business performance. InterDigital defines Non-GAAP net income as net income attributable to InterDigital, Inc. plus share-based compensation, acquisition related amortization, depreciation and amortization, restructuring costs, impairment charges and one-time adjustments, losses on extinguishments of long-term debt, the related income tax effect of the preceding items, and adjustments to income taxes. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is defined as Non-GAAP net income divided by Non-GAAP weighted average number of common shares outstanding–diluted, which adjusts the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of the Convertible Notes, offset by our hedging arrangements. InterDigital’s computation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies. The presentation of these financial measures, which are 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 reconciliation of each of these metrics to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is provided below.
