Adeia Inc. Commitments Disclosure

NOTE 15 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase and Other Contractual Obligations

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual agreements with third parties that include non-cancelable payment obligations, for which it is liable in future periods. These arrangements primarily include unconditional purchase obligations to service providers. Total future unconditional purchase obligations as of December 31, 2025 are estimated to be $7.5 million, including $3.2 million due in 2026, $2.4 million due in 2027, and $1.9 million due thereafter.

Guarantee

Prior to the Separation, Adeia Media LLC, a subsidiary of the Company (“Adeia Media”), and a subsidiary of Xperi Inc (“Xperi Sub”) entered into an agreement (the “Specified Agreement”) with a third party pursuant to which Adeia Media guarantees the performance of Xperi Sub under the Specified Agreement, including its payment obligations to such third party. In connection with the Separation, Adeia Media and Xperi Sub entered into a separate cross business agreement (the “Cross Business Agreement”) effective as of October 1, 2022 under which Adeia Media agreed to make guarantee payments to Xperi Sub in amounts based on certain of its operating expenses and other minimum performance obligations under the Specified Agreement through 2031. Consequently, on October 1, 2022, the Company recognized a guarantee liability pursuant to ASC 460 “Guarantees” of $19.7 million which represents the fair value of Adeia Media’s projected payments of such operating expenses during the term of the Cross Business Agreement. Subsequent changes to the carrying value of the guarantee are recognized as part of the Company’s results of operations. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the balance of the guarantee liability was $16.3 million and $17.1 million, respectively. Operating expense reimbursements are capped at a maximum of $7.5 million per annum. To date, such reimbursements have not been material.

Contingencies

At each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of losses is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies.

Litigation related

The Company is unable to predict the final outcome of lawsuits, including patent infringement lawsuits, to which it is a party and therefore cannot determine the likelihood of loss nor estimate a range of possible losses. An adverse decision in any of these proceedings could significantly harm the Company's business and consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation matters and claims in the normal course of business. In the past, the Company and its subsidiaries have litigated to enforce their respective patents and other intellectual property rights, to enforce the terms of license agreements, to protect trade secrets, and to defend the Company’s patents against claims of invalidity. The Company expects it or its subsidiaries will be involved in similar legal proceedings in the future, including proceedings regarding infringement of its patents, and proceedings to ensure proper and full payment of royalties by licensees under the terms of its license agreements.
