KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDCC) today updated financial guidance for
first quarter 2010. Previously, InterDigital(R) expected first
quarter 2010 revenue to be in the range of approximately $78 million to
$79 million, excluding the impact of any new agreements signed during
first quarter 2010 or the potential impact of any additional royalties
identified in audits regularly conducted by the company. InterDigital
recently announced a new license agreement and an audit resolution. The
company expects that the new agreement and audit resolution will add
approximately $37.5 million to $38.5 million, substantially related to
past sales, to total first quarter 2010 revenue.
"First quarter 2010 reflects our continued ability to add new licensees
for our broad 3G portfolio and a solid recovery in handset sales,"
commented Scott McQuilkin, InterDigital's Chief Financial Officer. "We
saw marked improvement in sales by our per-unit licensees with exposure
to smartphone sales and an improvement in the Japanese market."
