(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of InterDigital, Inc. (individually and/or collectively with its subsidiaries referred to as “InterDigital,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our,” unless otherwise indicated) as of June 30, 2024, the results of our operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, accordingly, do not include all of the detailed schedules, information and notes necessary to state fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for year-end financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (our “2023 Form 10-K”) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 15, 2024. Definitions of capitalized terms not defined herein appear within our 2023 Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. We have one reportable segment.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Change in Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes or updates to our existing accounting policies from the disclosures included in our 2023 Form 10-K, except as indicated below in " New Accounting Guidance ".
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

New Accounting Guidance
Accounting Standards Update: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure s
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”. The amendments in the ASU require disclosures to include significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment's profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption allowed. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial disclosures.
Accounting Standards Update: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. The amendments in the ASU enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization, disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories, and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption allowed. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial disclosures.

3. CASH, CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash currently consists of money market and demand accounts. The following table provides a reconciliation of total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of June 30, 2024, December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 to the captions within the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):
June 30, December 31, June 30,
2024 2023 2023
Cash and cash equivalents $ 299,762 $ 437,076 $ 277,599
Restricted cash included within prepaid and other current assets 9,233 5,885 13,273
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 308,995 $ 442,961 $ 290,872
Concentration of Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts receivable. We place our cash equivalents and short-term investments only in highly rated financial instruments and in United States government instruments.
Our accounts receivable and contract assets are derived principally from patent license and technology solutions agreements. Four licensees comprised 88 % and 84 % of our accounts receivable balance, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our licensees, who generally include large, multinational, wireless telecommunications equipment manufacturers. We believe that the book values of our financial instruments approximate their fair values.
Fair Value Measurements
We use various valuation techniques and assumptions when measuring the fair value of our assets and liabilities. We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. This guidance established a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of input used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach). The levels of the hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 Inputs — Level 1 includes financial instruments for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets.
11
Table of Contents
Level 2 Inputs — Level 2 includes financial instruments for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets) or model-driven valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data, including market interest rate curves, referenced credit spreads and pre-payment rates.
Level 3 Inputs — Level 3 includes financial instruments for which fair value is derived from valuation techniques including pricing models and discounted cash flow models in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including the Company’s own assumptions. The pricing models incorporate transaction details such as contractual terms, maturity and, in certain instances, timing and amount of future cash flows, as well as assumptions related to liquidity and credit valuation adjustments of marketplace participants.
Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of financial assets and financial liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. We use quoted market prices for similar assets to estimate the fair value of our Level 2 investments.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Our financial assets are generally included within short-term investments on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, unless otherwise indicated. Our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis are presented in the tables below as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Patents
During first quarter 2023, we incurred a one-time impairment of $ 2.5 million on our patents held for sale. We determined the fair value based upon evaluation of market conditions.
Investment in Other Entities
During second quarter 2024 and 2023, we recognized gains of $ 2.2 million and $ 3.1 million, respectively, resulting from fair value changes of one of our long-term strategic investments, which was included within “ Other income, net ” in the condensed consolidated statement of income.

5. OBLIGATIONS
2027 Notes, and Related Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions
On May 27, 2022, we issued $ 460.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.50 % Senior Convertible Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes"). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2027 Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers' transaction fees and offering expenses, were approximately $ 450.0 million. The 2027 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.50 % per year, payable in cash on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2022, and mature on June 1, 2027, unless earlier redeemed, converted or repurchased.
The 2027 Notes will be convertible into cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be converted and in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company’s obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being converted, pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election, at an initial conversion rate of 12.9041 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $ 77.49 per share). From the period January 1, 2024 through September 30, 2024, the holders of the 2027 Notes have the right, but not the obligation, to convert any portion of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes. As such, the 2027 Notes are included in " Current portion of long-term debt " in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The 2027 Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with any of the Company’s current and any future senior unsecured indebtedness. The 2027 Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s future secured indebtedness, if any, to the extent of the value of the related collateral, and the 2027 Notes are structurally subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of the Company’s subsidiaries.
On May 24 and May 25, 2022, in connection with the offering of the 2027 Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions that cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 5.9 million shares of common stock, in the aggregate, at a strike price that initially corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2027 Notes, subject to adjustment, and are exercisable upon any conversion of the 2027 Notes. Also on May 24 and May 25, 2022, we entered into privately negotiated warrant transactions, whereby we sold warrants to acquire, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 5.9 million shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2024, the warrants under the 2027 Warrant Transactions had a weighted average strike price of $ 106.31 per share, subject to adjustment.
2024 Notes, and Related Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions
On June 3, 2019, we issued $ 400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Convertible Notes due in 2024 (the "2024 Notes") that bore interest at a rate of 2.00 % per year, payable in cash on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2019, and matured on June 1, 2024. During second quarter 2022, we repurchased $ 273.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes in privately negotiated transactions concurrently with the offering of the 2027 Notes. We repaid the remaining $ 126.2 million in aggregate principal at maturity on June 1, 2024.
On May 29 and May 31, 2019, in connection with the offering of the 2024 Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions (collectively, the "2024 Note Hedge Transactions") that covered, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 4.9 million shares of common stock, in the aggregate, at a strike price that corresponded to the conversion price of the 2024 Notes, subject to adjustment, and were exercisable upon any conversion of the 2024 Notes. On May 29 and May 31, 2019, we also entered into privately negotiated warrant transactions (collectively, the "2024 Warrant Transactions" and, together with the 2024 Note Hedge Transactions, the "2024 Call Spread Transactions"), whereby we sold warrants to acquire, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 4.9 million shares of common stock at an initial strike price of approximately $ 109.43 per share, subject to adjustment.
At maturity on June 1, 2024, the Company issued 0.3 million shares to settle the 2024 Notes that had been converted by holders. This issuance was effectively offset by our receipt of 0.3 million shares from the settlement of the 2024 Note Hedge Transactions. No shares have been issued related to the 2024 Warrant Transactions as of June 30, 2024, and warrants to acquire 1.6 million shares of common stock at an initial strike price of approximately $ 109.43 per share, subject to adjustment, remain outstanding. The 2024 Warrants settle during the period September 3, 2024 through December 17, 2024.

Technicolor Patent Acquisition Long-Term Debt
On July 30, 2018, we completed our acquisition of the patent licensing business of Technicolor SA ("Technicolor"), a worldwide technology leader in the media and entertainment sector (the "Technicolor Patent Acquisition"). In conjunction with the Technicolor Patent Acquisition, we assumed Technicolor’s rights and obligations under a joint licensing program with Sony relating to digital televisions and standalone computer display monitors, which commenced in 2015 (the "Madison Arrangement"). An affiliate of CPPIB Credit Investments Inc. ("CPPIB Credit"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, is a third-party investor in the Madison Arrangement. CPPIB Credit has made certain payments to Technicolor and Sony and has agreed to contribute cash to fund certain capital reserve obligations under the arrangement in exchange for a percentage of future revenues, specifically through September 11, 2030 in regard to the Technicolor patents.
Upon our assumption of Technicolor’s rights and obligations under the Madison Arrangement, our relationship with CPPIB Credit meets the criteria in ASC 470-10-25 - Sales of Future Revenues or Various Other Measures of Income ("ASC 470"), which relates to cash received from an investor in exchange for a specified percentage or amount of revenue or other measure of income of a particular product line, business segment, trademark, patent, or contractual right for a defined period. Under this guidance, we recognized the fair value of our contingent obligation to CPPIB Credit, as of the acquisition date, as long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. This initial fair value measurement was based on the perspective of a market participant and included significant unobservable inputs which are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the long-term debt as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is disclosed within Note 3, " Cash, Concentration of Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Instruments. " Our repayment obligations are contingent upon future royalty revenues generated from the Madison Arrangement and there are no minimum or maximum payments under the arrangement.

Table of Contents
Under ASC 470, amounts recorded as debt are amortized under the interest method. At each reporting period, we will review the discounted expected future cash flows over the life of the obligation. The Company made an accounting policy election to utilize the catch-up method when there is a change in the estimated future cash flows, whereby we will adjust the carrying amount of the debt to the present value of the revised estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate, with a corresponding adjustment recognized as interest expense within “ Interest Expense ” in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The effective interest rate as of the acquisition date was approximately 14.5 %. This rate represents the discount rate that equates the estimated future cash flows with the fair value of the debt as of the acquisition date and is used to compute the amount of interest to be recognized each period based on the estimated life of the future revenue streams. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized $ 1.0 million and $ 1.6 million, respectively, of interest expense related to this debt, compared to $ 1.0 million and $ 1.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. This was included within “ Interest Expense ” in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Any future payments made to CPPIB Credit, or additional proceeds received from CPPIB Credit, will decrease or increase the long-term debt balance accordingly. We made $ 12.9 million in payments to CPPIB Credit during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and no payments were made during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Technicolor Contingent Consideration
As part of the Technicolor Patent Acquisition, we entered into a revenue-sharing arrangement with Technicolor that created a contingent consideration liability. Under the revenue-sharing arrangement, Technicolor receives 42.5 % of future cash receipts from new licensing efforts from the Madison Arrangement only, subject to certain conditions and hurdles. As of June 30, 2024, the contingent consideration liability from the revenue-sharing arrangement was deemed not probable and is therefore not reflected within the consolidated financial statements.
6. LITIGATION AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
ARBITRATIONS AND COURT PROCEEDINGS
Lenovo
UK Proceedings
On August 27, 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries filed a claim in the UK High Court against Lenovo Group Limited and certain of its subsidiaries. The claim, as amended, alleges infringement of five of the Company’s patents relating to 3G and/or 4G/LTE standards: European Patent (UK) Nos. 2,363,008; 2,421,318; 2,485,558; 2,557,714; and 3,355,537. The Company sought, among other relief, injunctive relief to prevent further infringement of the asserted patents or, in the alternative, a determination of the terms of a FRAND license.
On July 29, 2021, the UK High Court issued its decision regarding the first technical trial finding European Patent (UK) No. 2,485,558 valid, infringed, and essential to Release 8 of LTE. Lenovo appealed this decision, and on January 19, 2023, the UK Court of Appeal upheld the UK High Court’s findings that Lenovo is infringing on InterDigital’s valid and essential patent. On January 6, 2022, the UK High Court issued its decision regarding the second technical trial finding European Patent (UK) No. 3,355,537 invalid, but essential and infringed but for the finding of invalidity. The Company appealed this decision as legally erroneous, and on February 9, 2023, the UK Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, finding that Lenovo is infringing on InterDigital’s valid and essential patent. On January 31, 2023, the UK High Court issued its decision regarding the third technical trial finding European Patent (UK) No. 2,421,318 valid, essential, and infringed.

On March 16, 2023, the UK High Court issued its order regarding judgment in the trial to determine how much Lenovo must pay for a license to the Company’s portfolio of cellular assets, awarding the Company a lump sum of $ 138.7 million for such license through December 31, 2023. On June 27, 2023, the court issued an order awarding the Company an additional $ 46.2 million, thus increasing the total award to $ 184.9 million, which was paid on July 11, 2023. The court also found that the Company should pay a portion of Lenovo’s costs and granted both parties permission to appeal on certain grounds. Both parties filed Appellant’s Notices and the appeals were docketed on July 31, 2023. On September 19, 2023, the Court of Appeal granted the Company permission to appeal on all its requested grounds. The appeal was heard on June 10-14, 2024, and the UK Court of Appeal issued its decision on July 12, 2024. The UK Court of Appeal ruled in favor of InterDigital and awarded the Company an additional amount of $ 55.2 million to a total of approximately $ 240.1 million. It rejected Lenovo’s appeal in its entirety and confirmed that Lenovo must pay for all of its past sales starting from 2007 through December 31, 2023. The court also found that Lenovo should pay the Company’s costs for the appeal and reduced the costs that Lenovo was awa rded from the initial decision. Lenovo sought permission to appeal, and permission to appeal was refused by the UK Court of Appeals on July 12, 2024. Lenovo has until August 9, 2024 to file a request for an appeal directly with the UK Supreme Court.

The claim alleges invalidity of two of the Company’s patents relating to 4G/LTE standards: European Patent (UK) Nos. 2,557,714 and 2,557,715. Lenovo sought, among other relief, a declaration that the patents at issue are invalid, not essential, and not infringed, revocation of the patents at issue, and a declaration that, upon expiration of the current license in 2023, Lenovo is licensed under terms to be determined by the UK High Court through 2028 or, in the alternative, a determination of the terms of a FRAND license. On October 19, 2023, Lenovo filed a request for an order that the Company indicate whether it is prepared to give an unconditional undertaking to enter into a global license on terms set by the UK Court, or failing that, a declaration that the Defendants are unwilling licensors; a hearing was held on December 12, 2023 where Lenovo agreed to stay its application.

7. INCOME TAXES
In the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had an estimated effective tax rate of 18.6 % and 14.5 %, respectively. The change in effective tax rate is due to a decrease in the amount of Foreign Derived Intangible Income deduction benefit available to the Company. In addition, the Company is subject to an increase in the Global Intangible Low-Tax Income inclusion derived from the increase in revenue in certain foreign jurisdictions. The effective tax rate in the six months ended June 30, 2023 was impacted by losses in certain jurisdictions where the Company recorded a valuation allowance against the related tax benefit. Excluding this valuation allowance, our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 would have been 13.0 %. During both the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded discrete net benefits of $ 2.4 million and $ 1.2 million, respectively, primarily related to share-based compensation.
The effective tax rate reported in any given year will continue to be influenced by a variety of factors, including timing differences between the recognition of book and tax revenue, the level of pre-tax income or loss, the foreign vs. domestic classification of the Company’s customers, and any discrete items that may occur.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid approximately $ 13.4 million and $ 6.0 million, respectively, in foreign source creditable withholding tax.
8. NET INCOME PER SHARE
Basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing net income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options or other securities with features that could result in the issuance of common stock were exercised or converted to common stock or resulting from the unvested outstanding restricted stock units ("RSUs"). The following tables reconcile the numerator and the denominator of the basic and diluted net income per share computation (in thousands, except for per share data):
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2024 2023 2024 2023
Net income applicable to InterDigital, Inc. $ 109,664 $ 21,783 $ 191,316 $ 127,042
Weighted-average shares outstanding:
Basic 25,207 26,768 25,359 27,754
Dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs, and warrants
832 632 860 612
Dilutive effect of convertible securities
1,871 255 1,906 128
Diluted 27,910 27,655 28,125 28,494
Earnings per share:
Basic $ 4.35 $ 0.81 $ 7.54 $ 4.58
Dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs, and warrants
( 0.12 ) ( 0.02 ) ( 0.21 ) ( 0.10 )
Dilutive effect of convertible securities
( 0.30 ) — ( 0.53 ) ( 0.02 )
Diluted $ 3.93 $ 0.79 $ 6.80 $ 4.46
Shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of certain securities have been excluded from our computation of EPS because the strike price or conversion rate, as applicable, of such securities was greater than the average market price of our common stock and, as a result, the effect of such exercise or conversion would have been anti-dilutive. Set forth below are the securities and the weighted average number of shares of common stock underlying such securities that were excluded from our computation of EPS for the periods presented (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2024 2023 2024 2023
Restricted stock units and stock options 4 4 2 212
Warrants 7,462 7,488 7,475 7,488
Total 7,466 7,492 7,477 7,700

Convertible Notes and Warrants
Refer to Note 5, " Obligations ," for information about the Company's convertible notes and warrants and related conversion and strike prices. During periods in which the average market price of the Company's common stock is above the applicable conversion price of the Company's convertible notes, or above the strike price of the Company's outstanding warrants, the impact of conversion or exercise, as applicable, would be dilutive and such dilutive effect is reflected in diluted EPS. As a result, in periods where the average market price of the Company's common stock is above the conversion price or strike price, as applicable, under the if-converted method, the Company calculates the number of shares issuable under the terms of the convertible notes and the warrants based on the average market price of the stock during the period, and includes that number in the total diluted shares outstanding for the period.
9. OTHER INCOME, NET
The amounts included in " Other income, net " in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2024 2023 2024 2023
Interest and investment income $ 10,125 $ 10,254 $ 21,903 $ 21,934
Other 1,557 4,133 ( 974 ) 5,644
Other income, net $ 11,682 $ 14,387 $ 20,929 $ 27,578
The change in Other income, net was primarily due to a foreign currency translation net loss arising from translation of our foreign subsidiaries of $ 0.9 million and $ 3.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to net gains of $ 0.4 million and $ 1.2 million in three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
