Added Skippen, “During the quarter we signed five new licenses including a broad Digital TV and Display portfolio license with Panasonic and an early license renewal with Samsung. We look forward to further strengthening our business relationship with Samsung and seeking opportunities to work together in the building of more valuable patent portfolios.”

Second Quarter 2013 Operating Expense Review
In the three month period ended June 30, 2013, cost of revenue totaled $22.5 million as compared to $12.8 million in the three month period ended March 31, 2012. The increase in expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in litigation expense.

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, litigation expenses amounted to $14.6 million compared to $5.8 million for the same period last year. The increase in litigation expense over the prior year period is attributable to an increased level of effort in ongoing patent infringement litigations including preparation for multiple claims construction hearings and multiple trials scheduled to take place in 2013.
In the second quarter ended June 30, 2013, MG&A expenses amounted to $3.9 million as compared to $3.3 million in the second quarter ended June 30, 2012. The increase in spending year over year is primarily attributable to increased staffing levels and an increase in public company related expenses.

Second Quarter 2013 Earnings Review
In the second quarter ended June 30, 2013, adjusted earnings amounted to a loss of $0.8 million or 1 cent per share as compared to adjusted earnings of $10.1 million, or 8 cents per share, in the comparative period last year. The decrease in adjusted earnings as compared to last year is primarily attributable to the increase in litigation expenses.
The Company generated a GAAP loss of $7.6 million, or 6 cents per share on a basic level, in the three month period ended June 30, 2013, as compared to a GAAP loss of $0.1 million, or nil per share on a basic level, in the same period last year.

Second Quarter 2013 Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review
At June 30, 2013, the Company’s cash, comprised of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, totaled $159.3 million, representing a decrease of $17.6 million from the cash position at December 31, 2012. The decrease is primarily attributable to $1.8 million cash utilized in operations, the payment of dividends totaling $9.1 million, the repurchase of common shares totaling $2.9 million and the purchase of patents and other intangibles totaling $3.0 million. The Company’s cash equivalents and short-term investments include T-bills, term deposits and GICs.
Third Quarter 2013 Financial Guidance
For the third quarter 2013 ending September 30, 2013, the Company expects revenue to be at least $20.7 million. This revenue guidance does not include the potential impact of any new agreements that may be signed during the balance of the second quarter of 2013 or the potential impact of any royalties identified in audits conducted by the Company. Operating expenses for the third quarter are expected to be in the range of $20.5 million to $21.6 million of which $13.5 million to $14.5 million is expected to be litigation expense. For the third quarter of 2013, and assuming no additional agreements are signed, adjusted earnings are expected to be between a loss of $650,000 and earnings of $500,000.
The above statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. The “Forward-looking Information” section at the end of this press 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 discussed in greater detail in the “Risk Factors” section of WiLAN’s annual information form for the 2012 fiscal year dated March 7, 2013 (copies of which may be obtained at www.sedar.com or www.sec.gov). Financial guidance 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 primarily 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.
The above targets for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 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 quarter, losses on asset impairments or realized foreign exchange losses cannot be accurately forecast. Accordingly, we exclude forecasts of such items from our guidance. Actual revenues reported may exceed the revenue guidance provided due to the receipt of royalty reports, signing of new license agreements and completion of licensee audits, all after the guidance is provided.

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.
