RPX Announces Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results
 
SAN FRANCISCO – August 1, 2017 RPX Corporation (NASDAQ: RPXC), the leading provider of patent risk and discovery management solutions, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

Highlights

Total revenue was $80.4 million, compared to $83.1 million in the second quarter of 2016.

Subscription revenue from patent risk management services—-including insurance—was $61.6 million, compared to $63.2 million in the prior year period.
Discovery services revenue was $18.8 million, compared to $19.3 million in the prior year period.

“We are pleased that our increased operational focus is already showing positive results, allowing us to exceed our adjusted EBITDA target on in-line revenues,” said Marty Roberts, Chief Executive Officer. “At the same time, we continue to develop strategic initiatives and opportunities to expand our service offering.”

Summary Results

GAAP net income for the second quarter was $4.2 million or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to $4.2 million or $0.08 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2016.

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter, which excludes stock-based compensation, the amortization of acquired intangibles, fair value adjustments on deferred payment obligations, gains on extinguishment of deferred payment obligations, realized losses on exchange of short-term investments, and their related tax effects, was $9.2 million or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to $9.1 million or $0.18 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2016.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $53.6 million for the second quarter of 2017, less net patent spend of $10.5 million, resulting in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA less net patent spend, the Company's preferred measure of adjusted pre-tax free cash flow, of $43.1 million for the second quarter of 2017.

As of June 30, 2017, RPX's patent segment had more than 320 clients, consisting of patent risk management network members and insurance clients. The Company provides patent risk management services to more than 400 companies, including those insured under policies sold to venture funds and industry trade associations.

Net patent acquisition spend during the quarter totaled $10.5 million, and included 9 patent transactions.

As of June 30, 2017, RPX had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $244.5 million and long-term debt of $91.7 million.

Inventus Management Change
 
Separately, the Company announced that Trevor Campion, CEO of its Inventus subsidiary, is leaving the Company effective August 1. Paul Mankoo has been promoted to CEO. Mankoo, who is currently President of Inventus, joined the Company as part of its acquisition of Unified in March 2015. Prior to becoming President, Paul headed Inventus's sales effort, so he is the ideal candidate to further the cross-selling program in place, along with managing day-to-day operations.

“We appreciate all of Trevor’s efforts during the integration of Inventus into RPX, and we wish him the best in his future endeavors,” said Marty Roberts. “I have worked closely with Paul since he was named President in February and I am delighted to partner with him as we continue to explore ways to leverage the strength of the RPX and Inventus combination, identifying ways to bring new cost efficiency to corporations.”

The above outlook is forward-looking. Actual results may differ materially. The Company is not able, at this time, to provide a forward-looking reconciliation to GAAP outlook for the non-GAAP financial metric outlook it has provided above for the third quarter and full year 2017 because of the difficulty of estimating certain items that are excluded from the non-GAAP financial metrics, including those items listed in "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" below, the effect of which may be significant. Please refer to the information under the caption “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” below.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This news release dated August 1, 2017 contains non-GAAP financial measures. Tables are provided in this news release that reconcile the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP interest and other income (expense), net, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income per share, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA less net patent spend.

To supplement the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about the Company’s core operating results and thus are appropriate to enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past financial performance and its prospects for the future. Management is excluding from some or all of its non-GAAP operating results (1) stock-based compensation expenses (inclusive of related employer payroll taxes), (2) the amortization of acquired intangible assets (other than patents), (3) fair value adjustments on deferred payment obligations, (4) gains on extinguishment of deferred payment obligations, (5) other-than-temporary impairment on short-term investments, (6) realized losses on exchange of short-term investments, and (7) their related tax effects. 

Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company’s financial results and trends, allocate internal resources, prepare and approve our annual budget, develop short- and long-term operating plans, assess the health of our business and determine company-wide incentive compensation. Management believes these non-GAAP measures may prove useful to investors who wish to consider the impact of certain items when comparing the Company’s financial performance with that of other companies. The adjustments to the Company’s GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying operational results, trends and performance. 

There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which items are adjusted to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures. Management compensates for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis and also by providing GAAP measures in our public disclosures.

The presentation of additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to financial results determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release and its attachments contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements include the statements by management, statements regarding RPX’s future financial performance as well as any statements regarding the Company’s strategic and operational plans. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Factors that may contribute to such differences include, among others, the Company’s ability to maintain an adequate rate of growth, the success of the Company’s new initiatives, the Company's ability to integrate and manage the acquisition of Inventus Solutions, Inc., and the Company’s ability to attract new clients and retain existing clients. Forward-looking statements are often identified by the use of words such as, but not limited to, “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions or variations intended to identify forward-looking statements.  More information about potential factors that could affect the Company’s business and financial results is contained in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K, its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and the Company’s other filings with the SEC. The Company does not intend, and undertakes no duty, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances.
