Reports Q2 revenue $96.12M, consensus $96.79M. "Second quarter revenue of $96 million was in line with our expectations, and we generated $55 million in operating cash flow with a 59% adjusted EBITDA margin," said Paul E. Davis, chief executive officer of Adeia. "We closed six license agreements during the quarter, across OTT, e-commerce, consumer electronics and Pay-TV. We closed a significant multi-year renewal with Google, which has been a valued licensee for approximately 15 years and whose YouTube TV platform is one of the fastest growing Pay-TV services in the country. We also signed a seminal, multi-year license agreement with RPX, adding 10 new e-commerce customers under a single agreement. With the RPX deal and a new license agreement with L'Oreal, we now have 15 customers across six agreements in e-commerce - a business we built from the ground up over just the past two years. Non-Pay-TV recurring revenue for the quarter grew 54% year-over-year, continuing a multi-quarter trend as our non-Pay-TV pipeline remains robust and continues to grow."
