ParkerVision Reports Second Quarter 2024 Results

JACKSONVILLE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2024 / ParkerVision, Inc. (OTCQB:PRKR) ("ParkerVision" or the "Company"), a developer and marketer of technologies and products for wireless applications, today announced results for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

2024 Summary and Recent Developments

• The Company is awaiting a decision from the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) in ParkerVision v. Qualcomm (Middle District of Florida - Orlando).

  • In July 2024, the CAFC dismissed the appeal, with the ability for reinstatement, determining that it did not have jurisdiction over this case as the district court had never entered a final order on Qualcomm's counterclaims of invalidity.

  • On August 1, 2024, at the joint request of the parties, the District Court in the Middle District of Florida dismissed Qualcomm's counterclaims of invalidity without prejudice, thus providing the CAFC jurisdiction.

  • The appeal was resubmitted to the CAFC on August 7, 2024. The CAFC has indicated it will rule on the basis of the briefs previously submitted and the oral arguments heard in November 2023.

• In June 2024, the Company had a joint claim construction hearing in the Western District of Texas that covered claim construction for pending cases against Texas Instruments ("TI") and NXP Semiconductors ("NXP") and second actions against MediaTek and Realtek. The court's formal claim construction orders are expected to be issued in the near term.

• The Company has a number of jury trials scheduled in the Western District of Texas beginning in March 2025 against Realtek, followed by April 2025 against MediaTek, May 2025 against TI and August 2025 against NXP.

  • MediaTek, TI and NXP have filed inter partes review ("IPR") petitions against claims related to an aggregate of five of the Company's asserted patents. One such IPR has been instituted to date, against one of the patents asserted against MediaTek. The remaining IPRs are still being briefed.

Jeffrey Parker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We anticipate that a ruling will be forthcoming from the CAFC in the near term now that the issue of jurisdiction has been resolved. The next twelve months promise to be active as we have four scheduled jury trials in our patent infringement cases in the Western District of Texas. We will also be vigorously defending our patents at the PTAB which has become a commonly used defense strategy for companies attempting to avoid patent infringement judgements."

Financial Results

• ParkerVision reported a net loss for the second quarter of 2024 of $0.3 million, or $0.00 per common share, compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.02 per common share for the second quarter of 2023. On a year-to-date basis, the Company reported a net loss for the first six months of 2024 of $1.0 million, or $0.01 per common share, compared to net income of $14.5 million, or $.17 per common share for the first six months of 2023. The 2023 net income was the result of a $25 million patent license and settlement agreement entered into in February 2023, net of contingent fees and expenses.

• The Company used $1.4 million in cash for operations for the first half of 2024, ending the quarter with $1.0 million in cash and cash equivalents.
