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. 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 Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable
GAAP financial measure is provided below.
3 Non-GAAP net
income, Non-GAAP EPS, 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 EPS
is defined as Non-GAAP net income divided by Non-GAAP weighted
average diluted shares, which adjusts the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of the
Company's 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.
