John Ward of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued a claims construction Opinion and Order yesterday in ongoing litigations between WiLAN and various defendants including Intel Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Company, Broadcom Corporation, Dell, Inc. and LG Electronics, Inc. In the litigations, WiLAN is alleging infringement of four patents including U.S. Patent Nos. 5,282,222 (“the ‘222 patent”) and RE37,802 (“the ‘802 patent”). The claim construction hearing, also known as the Markman hearing, with respect to the ‘222 and ‘802 patents, was held before Judge Ward on March 11, 2010.

The Markman Order establishes the meaning of the patent claim terms in dispute between the parties. A copy of the Opinion and Order is available at: www.wilan.com/company/Investors/Litigation-Updates/Wi-LAN-v-Acer-et-al-Eastern-District-of-Texas/default.aspx.

Judge Ward rejected LG Electronics’ arguments in separate claim construction briefing that sought to invalidate claims in the 802 patent.

The claim construction hearing for the remaining patents at issue in these litigations, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,956,323 and 6,549,759, is scheduled for September 1, 2010.

WiLAN Reports First Quarter 2010 Financial Results

Thu, 06 May 2010 06:00:00 -0400

Company increases guidance

OTTAWA, Canada – May 6, 2010 – Wi-LAN Inc. (“WiLAN” or the “Company”) (TSX:WIN), a leading technology innovation and licensing company, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010. All financial amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars.

With the change in fiscal year end from October 31 to December 31 that occurred in 2009, the Company’s first quarter of 2010 is the three month period ended March 31, 2010. Financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010 will be compared to the financial results for the three month period ended April 30, 2009.

First Quarter 2010 Highlights:

Record cash revenues of $16.5 million, an increase of 65% as compared to $10.0 million in the three month period ended April 30, 2009.

Pro forma earnings* of $7.7 million, or 7 cents per share, as compared to pro forma earnings of $3.3 million, or 4 cents per share, in the three month period ended April 30, 2009.

GAAP net earnings of $1.1 million, or 1 cent per share, as compared to a GAAP net loss of $1.0 million, or 1 cent per share, in the three month period ended April 30, 2009.

Signed license agreements with 9 companies during the quarter including 6 for wireless technologies, 2 for V-Chip and 1 for wireline.

Generated $5.1 million in cash from operations; increased cash and short-term equivalents to $97.0 million at quarter end.

Declared an eligible dividend of 1.25 cents per common share.

Increased fiscal 2010 revenue and pro forma earnings guidance.

“Our business delivered exceptional financial performance during the quarter,” said Jim Skippen, Chairman & CEO. “Our record revenues in the first quarter benefited from higher than expected royalty reports from a number of licensees, royalty payments from recently signed agreements and consideration for the sale of certain patent assets. The strong top and bottom line performance during the quarter has resulted in an upward revision in our fiscal 2010 financial guidance.”

Skippen added, “Our goal is to maximize the revenue generated from our patent assets thereby delivering the greatest long-term value to our shareholders. With over 800 patents in our portfolio there will inevitably be patents that are more valuable to companies that sell specific products or compete in small niche markets than to WiLAN in a licensing program. Expanding our business to include the brokerage of patents to other companies leverages this value premium. In this case, the family of patents that were sold for 2.5 million dollars had a cost to WiLAN of 48 thousand dollars.”

The Board of Directors has declared an eligible dividend of 1.25 cents per common share. This dividend will be paid on July 6, 2010 to shareholders of record on June 15, 2010.

Revenue Review
In the first quarter ended March 31, 2010, revenues were $16.5 million, consisting of $13.9 million in royalties and $2.5 million of brokerage revenues. Royalty revenues increased 39% over the comparable period last year. In the first quarter ended March 31, 2010, the top ten licensees accounted for slightly more than 89% of royalty revenues as compared to more than 85% of royalty revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2009.

Operating Expense Review
In the first quarter of 2010, patent licensing expenses totaled $2.2 million as compared to $980 thousand in the three month period ended April 30, 2009. The sequential increase is due to brokerage fees paid to third parties as a consequence of the sale of a patent asset and third party payments required under revenue share agreements. During the first quarter of 2010, WiLAN signed license agreements with 9 companies of which 6 companies signed licenses for wireless technologies, 2 for V-Chip technologies and one for wireline technologies.

Litigation expenses amounted to $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2010, as compared to $4.1 million in the three month period ended April 30, 2009. Investment in the quarter remained high due to extensive preparations required for the claims construction hearing in the Company’s handset, laptop and router litigations, involving U.S. Patent Nos. 5,282,222 (“the 222 patent”) and RE37802 (the “802 patent”). The joint claims construction hearing concerning the 222 and 802 patents was held on March 11, 2010 for all three cases.

In the first quarter of 2010 ended March 31, 2010, depreciation and amortization expense totaled $5.3 million as compared to $4.2 million in the three month period ended April 30, 2009. The increase is due to amortization of patents acquired in fiscal 2009.

At March 31, 2010, the Company’s net cash, comprised of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $97.0 million, representing an increase of $2.2 million from the net cash position at December 31, 2009. During the first quarter of 2010, the Company generated $5.1 million from operations, of which $3.1 million was invested in patent acquisitions. The Company’s cash equivalents and short-term investments include T-bills, term deposits, GICs and other marketable securities.

Earnings Review
In the first quarter ended March 31, 2010, WiLAN generated pro forma earnings of $7.7 million or 7 cents per share as compared to $3.3 million, or 4 cents per share, in the 12 month period ended April 30, 2009. The difference in pro forma earnings between the reporting periods is due primarily to increased revenues.

The Company generated net earnings of $1.1 million, or 1 cent per share, in the first quarter ended March 31, 2010, as compared to a net loss of $1.0 million, or 1 cent per share, in the three month fiscal period ended April 30, 2009.

Financial Guidance
The Company is revising its financial guidance for the 12 month period ending December 31, 2010. Revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 are now expected to be within the range of $43.0 million to $47.0 million representing an increase from the previous guidance of $40.0 million to $45.0 million. Operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation & amortization and unrealized gains or losses on foreign exchange contracts, all non-cash charges, are expected to be in the range of $36.0 million to $40.0 million. Pro forma earnings are now expected to be within the range of $8.0 million to $11.0 million up from previous guidance of $5.0 million to $8.0 million.

The above statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. The “Forward-looking Information” section at the end of this news release provides information on various risks and uncertainties that the Company faces. Additional information identifying risks and uncertainties relating to the Company’s business are contained under the heading “Risk Factors” in WiLAN’s current Annual Information Form and its other filings with the various Canadian securities regulators which are available online at www.sedar.com. Annual financial guidance for fiscal 2010 is provided to assist investors and other interested parties in understanding WiLAN’s performance. The reader is cautioned that using this information for any other purpose may be inappropriate.

The Company’s revenues result from the licensing of intellectual property which, by its very nature, is directly affected by the timing of the closure of license agreements, the nature and extent of specific licenses including actual rates, product sales by licensees which can be subject to seasonality as well as overall market demands and the timeliness of the receipt of licensee royalty reports. In addition, certain revenues may be of a one-time nature. Thus, quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in revenue are normal and should be expected. Management believes that the strength of its business should be measured by annual revenues.

The above guidance for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010 reflects our current business indicators and expectations and is subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Due to their nature, certain income and expense items, such as significant settlements from companies involved in current enforcement actions, brokerage opportunities, new significant litigation or defense actions that could arise during the course of the year, losses on asset impairments or realized foreign exchange losses cannot be accurately forecast. Accordingly, we exclude forecasts of such items from our guidance. WiLAN’s imperative is to negotiate the best possible license as measured over the long-term and accordingly, the timing of actual license signings may vary from that forecasted. Actual results may vary materially from the guidance provided as a consequence of the above noted factors.

Conference Call Information – May 6, 2010 – 10 AM EDT

WiLAN Reports Fiscal Year 2009 Financial Results

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 07:00:00 -0500

Company’s annual revenues increase 33 percent over last year

OTTAWA, Canada – March 3, 2010 – Wi-LAN Inc. (“WiLAN” or the “Company”) (TSX: WIN), a leading technology innovation and licensing company, today announced financial results for the fourteen month fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. All financial amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars.

On June 4, 2009, the Company announced that it would change its fiscal year end from October 31 to December 31. This change was intended to provide better alignment with the royalty reporting periods of the Company's licensees, which generally report on a calendar quarter basis, and to better align with industry peers for comparison purposes. As a result, the Company’s fiscal year 2009 became the fourteen month period ended December 31, 2009.

Readers are cautioned that the Company generally records revenues within thirty days of a calendar quarter end therefore revenues for the fourteen month period are not significantly different from those of the twelve month period ended October 31, 2009. Expenses for the fourteen month fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 are appreciably higher than those of the twelve month period ended October 31, 2009 because this period includes two months of additional operating expense.

Fourteen Month Fiscal Year 2009 Highlights:

Revenues of $35.4 million as compared to $26.6 million in the twelve month fiscal year 2008, representing a sequential increase of $8.8 million or 33 percent.
Pro forma earnings* of $2.5 million or 3 cents per share as compared to pro forma earnings of $11.0 million or 12 cents per share in the twelve month fiscal year 2008.
Net loss of $1.7 million or 2 cents per share as compared to a net loss of $9.2 million or 10 cents per share in the twelve month fiscal year 2008.
Signed licenses with over 59 companies bringing the total number of companies licensed to over 210.
More than doubled the size of the Company’s patent portfolio to over 800 issued and pending patents.
Returned $3.4 million to shareholders in share buyback and dividend payments.
Declared 2.25 cents per common share dividend for fourth quarter of 2009 which includes a special one-time 1 cent per common share dividend.
Raised gross proceeds of $18.0 million in a bought deal financing.

“In fiscal 2009, WiLAN continued to deliver solid operational and financial results while making significant investments in the future of our business,” said Jim Skippen, Chairman & CEO. “In fiscal 2009, a year of significant economic uncertainty, WiLAN negotiated license agreements with 59 companies and generated cash revenues 33 percent higher than last year. These achievements are a testament to the strength of our licensing program and the growth of our recurring revenue base. In a fiscal year that saw WiLAN make significant investments in litigation, research and development and the acquisition of valuable patented inventions, careful management of our expenses enabled WiLAN to generate positive pro forma earnings.”

Skippen added, “Our fiscal 2010 financial guidance forecasts a significant increase in revenues and positive pro forma earnings in a year that will see us continue to make significant investments in our business. Fiscal 2010 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for WiLAN, a year in which the enforcement and defense of our rights as patent owners will complete critical steps. To this end, we remain confident about our position going into the first Markman hearing of the year which is just over a week away. Looking to the future, the strength of our business and ongoing investment has positioned WiLAN well for continued long-term growth.”

The Board of Directors has declared an eligible quarterly dividend of 2.25 cents per common share. This dividend is comprised of 1.25 cents representing the Company’s current customary quarterly dividend plus 1 cent representing a one-time additional dividend relating to the two additional months in the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. This dividend will be paid on April 6, 2010 to shareholders of record on March 15, 2010. The Company expects to return to its normal quarterly dividend program of 1.25 cents per common share in the next fiscal quarter.

Revenue Review
In the fourteen month fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, WiLAN generated revenues of $35.4 million as compared to $26.6 million in the twelve month fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. For the fourteen month period ended December 31, 2009 the top ten licensees accounted for slightly more than 72% of revenues, whereas the top ten accounted for more than 85% of revenues for the twelve month period ended October 31, 2008.

Operating Expense Review
In the fourteen month fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, patent licensing expenses totaled $4.1 million as compared to $3.0 million in the twelve month fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. During fiscal 2009, WiLAN signed license agreements with 59 companies of which 39 companies signed licenses for wireless technologies, 16 for V-Chip technologies and four for wireline technologies. Companies that licensed WiLAN’s technologies during the year included Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Nikon Corporation, NEC Corporation, Westinghouse Digital Electronics, and Cyberlink Corporation. In addition, Buffalo Technologies, Conexant Systems, Inc., and Infineon Technologies AG negotiated settlements to end patent infringement litigation.

Litigation expenses amounted to $21.3 million in the fourteen month fiscal year ended December 31, as compared to $7.5 million in the twelve month fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. The sequential increase in yearly litigation expenses is due to the additional two months in the 2009 reporting periods, the Company’s ongoing response to declaratory judgment (DJ) claims filed by Intel Corporation and a number of other companies, a one-time $2.8 million payment to McKool Smith to terminate a success fee payment arrangement and extensive preparations required for the claims construction hearing in the Company’s handset, laptop and router litigations, involving U.S. Patent Nos. 5,282,222 (“the 222 patent”) and RE37802 (the “802 patent”). The joint claims construction hearing concerning the 222 and 802 patents will be held on March 11, 2010 for all three cases.

Research and development expenses in the fourteen month fiscal period ended December 31, 2009 were $4.1 million as compared to $3.2 million in the twelve month fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. During fiscal 2009, WiLAN filed over 25 patent applications that could yield hundreds of patents in the future. The majority of the patent applications filed cover technologies that enable White Space wireless data networking.

General and administrative expenses in the fourteen month fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, totaled $7.2 million as compared to $5.2 million in the twelve month fiscal year ended October 31, 2008.

In the fourteen month fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, depreciation and amortization expense totaled $20.3 million as compared to $16.5 million in the twelve month fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. These increases related to the patent purchases completed in the year. During the 2009 fiscal year, the Company acquired patents with a cost of $28.9 million whereas acquisitions in the fiscal 2008 year amounted to $1.4 million.

Investment income for the fourteen month fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was $2.7 million as compared to $3.2 million in the twelve month fiscal year ended October 31, 2008.

Foreign exchange gain for the fourteen month fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was $1.1 million as compared to a gain on foreign exchange of $0.1 million in the twelve month fiscal year ended October 31, 2008.

At December 31, 2009, the Company’s net cash, comprised of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $94.8 million, representing a decrease of $6.7 million from the net cash position at October 31, 2008. During the 2009 fiscal year, WiLAN invested $28.9 million in acquiring patented inventions and a total of $3.4 million in dividend payments and the repurchase of the Company’s common shares through a Normal Course Issuer Bid. This investment was partially offset by cash generated by operations and proceeds from a bought deal financing totaling $16.9 million. The Company’s cash equivalents and short-term investments include T bills, term deposits, GICs and other marketable securities.

Earnings Review
In the fourteen month fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, WiLAN generated pro forma earnings of $2.5 million or 3 cents per share as compared to $11.0 million or 12 cents per share in the twelve month fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. The difference in pro forma earnings between the reporting periods is due primarily to the Company incurring two additional months of operating expenses.

The Company generated a net loss of $1.7 million or 2 cents per share in the fourteen month fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to a net loss of $9.2 million or 10 cents per share in the twelve month fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. The 2009 results benefited from a one-time tax gain of $19.6 million generated by a corporate restructuring that took place on October 1, 2009.

Financial Guidance
Revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 are expected to be within the range of $40.0 million to $45.0 million. Operating expenses, excluding stock based compensation, depreciation & amortization and unrealized gains or losses on foreign exchange contracts, all non-cash charges, are expected to be in the range of $36.0 million to $40.0 million. Pro forma earnings are expected to be within the range of $5.0 million to $8.0 million.

The above statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. The “Forward-looking Information” section at the end of this news release provides information on various risks and uncertainties that the Company faces. Additional information identifying risks and uncertainties relating to the Company’s business are contained under the heading “Risk Factors” in WiLAN’s current Annual Information Form and its other filings with the various Canadian securities regulators which are available online at www.sedar.com. Annual financial guidance for fiscal 2010 is provided to assist investors and other interested parties in understanding WiLAN’s performance. The reader is cautioned that using this information for any other purpose may be inappropriate.

The Company’s revenues result from the licensing of intellectual property which, by its very nature, is directly affected by the timing of the closure of license agreements, the nature and extent of specific licenses including actual rates, product sales by licensees which can be subject to seasonality as well as overall market demands and the timeliness of the receipt of licensee royalty reports. In addition, certain revenues may be of a one-time nature. Thus, quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in revenue are normal and should be expected. Management believes that the strength of its business should be measured by annual revenues.

The above guidance for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010 reflects our current business indicators and expectations and is subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Due to their nature, certain income and expense items, such as significant settlements from companies involved in current enforcement actions, new significant litigation or defense actions that could arise during the course of the year, losses on asset impairments or realized foreign exchange losses cannot be accurately forecast. Accordingly, we exclude forecasts of such items from our guidance. WiLAN’s imperative is to negotiate the best possible license as measured over the long-term and accordingly, the timing of actual license signings may vary from that forecasted. Actual results may vary materially from the guidance provided as a consequence of the above noted factors.

Conference Call Information – March 3, 2010 – 10 AM EST
WiLAN will conduct a conference call to discuss its financial results today at 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time. WiLAN CEO, Jim Skippen and CFO, Shaun McEwan, will be on the call.
