Adeia Inc. Announces Paul E. Davis Intends to Step Down as Chief Executive Officer Adeia Inc. announced that after nearly 15 years at the company (including its predecessor companies), with the past four years serving as chief executive officer of Adeia Inc., Paul E. Davis has informed the company and the Board of Directors that he intends to step down as the company’s chief executive officer to focus on his health and personal pursuits. Davis plans to stay on as the chief executive officer until such time as a successor has been named, with a target date for the search to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2026. In accordance with the company’s established governance policies, the Board is launching a search led by a special transition committee of the Board that will be chaired by Dan Moloney, the company’s chairman of the Board. The Transition Committee will benefit from its existing chief executive officer succession planning process and will consider internal and external candidates. A nationally recognized search firm will assist the Transition Committee throughout the process. Davis has built an enduring culture at Adeia that is focused on innovation and connections, both internally and with its customers and partners. He started at Adeia’s predecessor company, Tessera Technologies, in 2011 as associate general counsel and quickly earned the trust and respect of the management team and Board and was named the general counsel within two years of joining the company. He helped guide the company as general counsel, and subsequently as chief legal officer, through several transformative transactions, including its mergers with DTS in 2016 and TiVo in 2020. In May of 2022, Davis was appointed to lead Adeia as its president and chief executive officer following its eventual separation from Xperi in October of 2022. During his tenure, the company grew its patent portfolio by over 35%, fueled by its commitment to investing in internal R&D, and increased its non-Pay-TV recurring revenue by over 60% by closing successful deals in key growth areas such as OTT and semiconductors, including landmark license agreements with Amazon, AMD, Disney, Kioxia, Microsoft and Sandisk. During this time, Adeia strengthened its balance sheet by reducing outstanding debt by nearly 50%, while driving strong financial results including delivering record revenue and earnings in 2025. The Board’s intention is for the next chief executive officer to build upon the successful transformation of the business, continuing to strengthen the company’s technology leadership in the media and semiconductor markets, diversification of its revenue streams, identifying and investing in new growth areas, and fostering a culture that empowers its people to achieve the company’s long-term growth ambitions and value creation goals.

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 22% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (1.9x net interest cover). Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Large one-off items impacting financial results.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 6.8% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.0% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (1.9x net interest cover). Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (13% net profit margin).

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.0% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (1.8x net interest cover). Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (11% net profit margin).
