TESSERA TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2016 RESULTS
Revenue of $67 million exceeds guidance range
Reiterates full-year 2016 revenue guidance of $255 million to $270 million
San Jose, Calif., (BUSINESS WIRE) —Tessera Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSRA) (the “Company” or “we”) today announced financial results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2016. Total revenue for the second quarter of 2016 was $67.0 million, above the Company’s guidance range of $64 million to $66 million. GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2016 was $23.5 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income was $30.2 million, or $0.60 per diluted share.
“Our strong second quarter results reflect the continued execution of our business objectives,” said Tom Lacey, Tessera’s Chief Executive Officer. “During the quarter, we continued to see strong interest in our ZiBond® and DBI® technologies across multiple applications, and FotoNation had another excellent quarter with particular success in the Chinese market. In addition, we continued to optimize shareholder value by returning approximately $35.0 million in capital through our quarterly dividend and share repurchase program.
“In May, we announced that we had initiated legal actions against Broadcom. While the actions we took were not our preferred approach, we believe the actions were necessary, after years of effort to reach a fair and equitable resolution without litigation, to defend our intellectual property rights,” added Lacey.
Second Quarter 2016 Results
Total revenue was $67.0 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with total revenue of $64.2 million in the second quarter of 2015. Recurring revenue was $66.7 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with recurring revenue of $63.2 million in the second quarter of 2015. Second quarter 2016 revenue included $0.3 million of episodic revenue, compared with episodic revenue of $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2015.
Operating expenses were $32.9 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $27.4 million in the second quarter of 2015. Second quarter 2016 operating expenses include year-over-year increases of $2.4 million in research and development, $1.8 million in litigation expense, and $1.4 million in amortization expense.
Net income was $23.5 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared with net income of $26.1 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2015.
Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2016 was $30.2 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2015 of $31.5 million, or $0.58 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income is defined as income and operating expenses adjusted for discontinued operations, restructuring and other exit costs, acquired intangible asset amortization, charges for acquired in-process research and development, stock-based compensation expense, impairment charges on long-lived assets and goodwill, and related tax effects.
Balance Sheet
Total current assets were $397.5 million as of June 30, 2016, a decrease of $14.2 million from December 31, 2015. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $371.8 million as of June 30, 2016, a decrease of $10.0 million from December 31, 2015, but an increase of $8.3 million from March 31, 2016. The decline in cash for the first six months of 2016 was primarily due to stock repurchases of $61.7 million pursuant to the Company’s stock repurchase program and $19.7 million used for the payment of dividends, largely offset by cash generated from operating activities.
Dividends
On June 14, 2016, the Company paid $9.8 million to stockholders of record as of May 24, 2016 for the quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share of common stock.
Additionally, on July 25, 2016, the Board of Directors approved a regular quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share of common stock, payable on September 12, 2016 to stockholders of record on August 22, 2016.
Stock Repurchase Program
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company repurchased approximately 0.8 million shares of common stock for an aggregate amount of $25.2 million. These purchases were executed under the Company’s stock repurchase program. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had approximately $164.2 million remaining under its current repurchase program.
Financial Guidance
For the third quarter of 2016, the Company’s guidance is as follows:
| | • | | Total revenue is expected to be between $61 million and $63 million; |
| | • | | GAAP earnings per share are expected to be between $0.39 and $0.41 per diluted share; |
| | • | | Non-GAAP earnings per share are expected to be between $0.51 and $0.53 per diluted share. |
For the full-year 2016, the Company is reiterating its total revenue guidance range of between $255 million and $270 million. “Based on our current visibility, we expect the fourth quarter to be our strongest revenue quarter of 2016,” said Robert Andersen, Tessera’s Chief Financial Officer.

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ significantly from those projected, particularly with respect to the Company’s financial results and guidance.

Recurring and Episodic Revenue
Recurring revenue is defined as revenue from payments made pursuant to a license agreement or other agreement that are scheduled to occur over at least one year of time. Episodic revenue is revenue other than revenue payable over at least one year pursuant to a contract. Episodic revenue includes non-recurring engineering fees, initial license fees, back payments resulting from audits, damages awards from courts or other tribunals, and lump sum settlement payments. Although the royalty revenue reported by the Company’s licensees on a quarterly basis is generally not assured, for ease of reference, the Company refers to these revenues as “recurring revenue”.
Importantly, a source of episodic revenue may become a source of recurring revenue, when, for example, a company settles litigation with the Company by paying a settlement amount and entering into a license agreement that calls for an initial license fee and ongoing royalty payment over several years. In that scenario, the settlement amount would be episodic revenue, as would the initial license fee, and the ongoing royalties would be recurring revenue.
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 for discontinued operations, either one-time or ongoing non-cash acquired intangibles amortization charges, acquired in-process research and development, all forms of stock-based compensation, impairment charges on long-lived assets and goodwill, gain on sale of patents,
restructuring and other related exit costs, and related tax effects. The non-GAAP financial measures also exclude the effects of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718, “Stock Compensation” upon the number of diluted shares used in calculating non-GAAP earnings per share. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures used in this release provide investors with important perspectives into the Company’s ongoing business performance. 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, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The 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. 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 non-GAAP net income to the Company’s reported GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share to GAAP earnings per share guidance for the third quarter of 2016.
