Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Adeia Inc. reported record fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results driven by strong licensing momentum in media and semiconductors. Full-year revenue reached $443.4 million, up from $376.0 million, with GAAP net income of $111.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of $277.6 million. Fourth-quarter revenue was $182.6 million, generating GAAP diluted EPS of $0.65 and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.86.

The company signed 26 agreements in 2025, including a long-term license with Disney, multi-year deals with Major League Baseball and Vodafone, and a January 2026 media-portfolio license with Microsoft. Non-Pay-TV recurring revenue grew 22%. Adeia reduced term-loan principal by $60.4 million, repurchased $20.0 million of stock, and paid a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share, which was also declared for March 30, 2026.

For 2026, Adeia guides revenue to $395.0–435.0 million, GAAP net income to $57.2–80.4 million, non-GAAP net income to $144.2–168.7 million, and adjusted EBITDA to $213.4–245.4 million, with a GAAP tax rate of 20% and non-GAAP tax rate of 21%.

Positive

  • Strong 2025 performance: Revenue grew to $443.4 million from $376.0 million, GAAP net income rose to $111.1 million, and adjusted EBITDA reached $277.6 million, all described as record levels.
  • High-value licensing traction: New long-term agreements with Disney, Major League Baseball, Vodafone and a January 2026 Microsoft deal expand Adeia’s licensed OTT, Pay-TV and media customer footprint.
  • Revenue mix improvement: Non-Pay-TV recurring revenue increased 22% in 2025, signaling successful diversification away from traditional Pay-TV dependence.
  • Balance sheet and capital returns: The company reduced term-loan principal by $60.4 million, repurchased $20.0 million of common stock, and maintained a $0.05-per-share quarterly dividend.

Negative

  • Softer forward outlook versus 2025: 2026 guidance for revenue of $395.0–435.0 million and adjusted EBITDA of $213.4–245.4 million implies lower results than 2025 at the midpoints.
  • Lower operating cash flow year-on-year: Cash flow from operations declined to $158.1 million in 2025 from $212.5 million in 2024, despite higher net income and EBITDA.

Insights

Record 2025 results contrast with a softer 2026 earnings outlook.

Adeia delivered strong 2025 growth: revenue rose to $443.4M from $376.0M, GAAP net income climbed to $111.1M, and adjusted EBITDA reached $277.6M. Licensing wins with Disney, Major League Baseball, Vodafone and a January 2026 Microsoft deal broaden the customer base and validate the media IP portfolio.

Capital deployment was active. The company paid down $60.4M of term debt, repurchased $20.0M of stock, and continued a $0.05-per-share quarterly dividend. Non-Pay-TV recurring revenue grew 22%, indicating progress diversifying away from legacy Pay-TV exposure.

Guidance introduces caution. For 2026, revenue of $395.0–435.0M and adjusted EBITDA of $213.4–245.4M are below 2025 levels at the midpoints, despite ongoing investment and separation, stock-based compensation, and amortization adjustments. Actual outcomes will depend on execution of the new licenses and pipeline conversion throughout 2026.

ADEIA ANNOUNCES RECORD FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

Achieved record revenue, operating income and adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter

Signed long-term license agreement with Disney; two of the largest OTT providers now under license

Reduced debt by $60 million and repurchased $20 million of common stock in 2025

SAN JOSE, Calif. – February 23, 2026 – Adeia Inc. (Nasdaq: ADEA) (the “Company” or “Adeia”) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

“We finished the year with strong momentum, delivering record fourth-quarter revenue of $182.6 million, along with quarterly records in operating income and adjusted EBITDA,” said Paul E. Davis, chief executive officer of Adeia. “During the quarter, we signed nine deals, including four with new customers. Notably, we entered into a significant long-term license agreement with Disney, resolving all outstanding litigation and underscoring the strength and broad applicability of our media portfolio. Additional new agreements included two other OTT customers and a consumer electronics customer in Japan, while the remaining deals consisted of Pay-TV and consumer electronics renewals, as well as a hybrid bonding prototype development agreement with an existing semiconductor customer. These results reflect both the breadth of our opportunity pipeline and our continued strong execution. Building on the momentum at the end of 2025 we have had a strong start to 2026, including signing a new multi-year license agreement with Microsoft in January, for access to our media portfolio.”

“The past year was exceptional, both financially and operationally,” continued Davis. “We are very pleased that our record annual revenue, and excellent operating income and adjusted EBITDA, all exceeded the high end of our guidance range. We signed 26 agreements across a diverse customer base spanning OTT, semiconductors, consumer electronics, Pay-TV and e-commerce. As we continue to expand our customer base, a record 12 of the 26 deals in 2025 were with new customers. Our non-Pay-TV recurring revenue grew 22% in 2025, further validating our strategy to diversify our revenue streams. Our award-winning RapidCool™ thermal solution is now being evaluated by multiple technology leaders involved in the AI semiconductor supply chain. We also expanded our IP portfolios by 13% through a combination of internal R&D and strategic tuck-in acquisitions. With the recent realignment of our senior leadership team, we are better positioned for long-term scale and growth.”

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on information available to the Company as of the date hereof, as well as the Company’s current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections that involve risks and uncertainties. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business, financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “could,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “might,” “potentially,” “estimate,” “continue,” “target,” similar expressions or the negatives of these words or other comparable terminology that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. All forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and are not guarantees of future results.

 


 

 

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements and caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: the Company’s ability to implement its business strategy; the Company’s ability to enter into new and renewal license agreements with customers on favorable terms; the Company’s ability to retain and hire key personnel; uncertainty as to the long-term value of the Company’s common stock; legislative, regulatory and economic developments affecting the Company’s business; general economic and market developments and conditions; the Company’s ability to grow and expand its patent portfolios; changes in technology and development of new technology in the industries in which in which the Company operates; the evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes under which the Company operates; unforeseen liabilities and expenses; risks associated with the Company’s indebtedness; unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities, natural disasters and global health pandemics, each of which may have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the Company’s business, are more fully discussed in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. While the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors presented in the Company’s filings with the SEC are, considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements.

Causes of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, failure to complete licensing arrangements on anticipated terms and timeline, failure to prevail in litigation we may bring against third parties, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, and failure to attract or retain employees, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or trading price of common stock. The Company does not assume any obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Company’s earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures adjusted, where applicable, for either one-time or ongoing non-cash acquired intangibles amortization charges, costs related to actual or planned business combinations including transaction fees, integration costs, severance, facility closures, and retention bonuses, separation costs, all forms of stock-based compensation, loss on debt extinguishment, expensed debt refinancing costs, impairment of intangible assets, impact of certain foreign currency adjustments, discontinued operations and related tax effects. In addition, adjusted EBITDA adjusts for recurring charges of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures used in this release provide investors with important perspectives on the Company’s ongoing business and financial performance and are helpful to provide investors with an understanding of our core operating results reflecting our normal business operations. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations in that the non-GAAP financial measures we use may not be directly comparable to those reported by other companies. For example, the terms used in this press release, such as EBITDA margin, which is defined as EBITDA as a percentage of revenue, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) do not have a standardized meaning. Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of our performance in relation to other companies. We seek to compensate for the limitation of our non-GAAP presentation by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables attached hereto. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. All financial data is presented on a GAAP basis except where the Company indicates its presentation is on a non-GAAP basis.

Set forth below are reconciliations of the Company’s reported and forecasted GAAP to non-GAAP financial metrics.
