InterDigital, Inc. reported a total revenue of $210.5 million for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of 20% compared to $263.5 million in the same period last year. The decline was primarily attributed to a significant reduction in catch-up revenues, which fell from $166.7 million in Q1 2024 to $84.8 million in Q1 2025. The company noted that while revenues from smartphone licensing increased by 129% to $184 million, this was offset by an 86% drop in revenues from consumer electronics, IoT, and automotive sectors, which totaled $26.3 million.
Operating expenses also saw a substantial decrease, dropping to $78.7 million from $159.8 million year-over-year, largely due to a reduction in revenue share costs and intellectual property enforcement expenses. The company reported an income from operations of $131.8 million, up from $103.7 million in the previous year, leading to a net income of $115.6 million, compared to $81.7 million in Q1 2024. This resulted in a basic earnings per share of $4.49, up from $3.20 in the prior year.
InterDigital's balance sheet as of March 31, 2025, showed total assets of $1.86 billion, with cash and cash equivalents amounting to $536.6 million. The company’s total liabilities decreased to $925 million from $978.3 million at the end of 2024. Shareholders' equity increased to $936.9 million, reflecting a strong retained earnings position of $1.88 billion. The company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.60 per share, an increase from $0.40 per share in the previous year, and returned $20.8 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
Strategically, InterDigital signed a new multi-year licensing agreement with vivo Mobile, enhancing its portfolio to include seven of the ten largest smartphone vendors, which collectively represent nearly 80% of the global smartphone market. The company also anticipates recognizing additional revenue from ongoing arbitration cases with Samsung and Lenovo, projecting $1.7 billion in contracted revenue over the next several years. Looking ahead, InterDigital remains cautious about macroeconomic conditions, including inflation and geopolitical tensions, which could impact future performance.
