SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Adeia Inc. (Nasdaq: ADEA) (“Adeia”), the company whose patented innovations shape the way the world explores and experiences entertainment, announced today that certain Adeia companies have filed a federal breach-of-contract lawsuit against Canada-based Shaw Cablesystems G.P. and Shaw Satellite G.P. (together, “Shaw”), in the Southern District of New York.
“Following its acquisition by Rogers Communications earlier this year, Shaw breached its obligations under its license agreement,” said Paul E. Davis, chief executive officer, Adeia. “We are disappointed that Shaw has refused to honor its license agreement or engage in business discussions to resolve this issue amicably, leaving Adeia with no choice but to bring the current lawsuit to enforce its contractual rights.”
The advanced research and development teams at Adeia have spent decades creating market-leading technologies for the media and entertainment industry. Adeia continues to invest in innovations that enhance the digital experiences of consumers around the world while adding value to the offerings its customers bring to market. To this end, Adeia is committed to protecting its rights by enforcing the terms of its license agreements.
“Despite Shaw’s breach, the company anticipates that its non-GAAP operating margin for 2023 will be at or above the midpoint of its previously provided annual financial outlook, with revenue being at the lower end of the range and non-GAAP operating expenses at the low end of the range,” said Davis.

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on information available to the Company as of the date hereof, as well as the Company’s current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections that involve risks and uncertainties. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business, financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “could,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “might,” “potentially,” “estimate,” “continue,” “expect,” “target,” similar expressions or the negatives of these words or other comparable terminology that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. All forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and are not guarantees of future results. These and other forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements and caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: the Company’s ability to implement its business strategy; the Company’s ability to enter into new and renewal license agreements with customers on favorable terms; the Company’s ability to retain and hire key personnel; uncertainty as to the long-term value of the Company’s common stock; legislative, regulatory and economic developments affecting the Company’s business; general economic and market developments and conditions; the Company’s ability to grow and expand its patent portfolios; changes in technology and development of competing technology in the industries in which in which the Company operates; the evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes under which the Company operates; unforeseen liabilities and expenses; risks associated with the Company’s indebtedness; the Company’s ability to achieve the intended benefits of, and its ability to recognize the anticipated tax treatment of, the recent spin-off of its product business; unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and natural disasters; and the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition will depend on future developments, including measures taken in response to the pandemic, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the business, are more fully discussed in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. While the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors presented in the Company’s filings with the SEC are, considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements.

The Company does not assume any obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.
