Exhibit 99.1
InterDigital Updates Guidance for Third Quarter 2005; Two Additional License Agreements Signed
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 21, 2005--InterDigital Communications Corporation (Nasdaq:IDCC), a leading designer, developer and provider of wireless technology and product platforms, today announced that it expects third quarter 2005 revenue related to patent license royalties and technology solution sales to be in the range of approximately $47.5 million to $49.5 million. Previously, the company anticipated that the range of revenues for third quarter 2005 would be between $34.5 million and $36 million. The revenue increase over previous guidance reflects additional patent licensing revenue the company expects to record related to three new patent license agreements signed during third quarter 2005. In addition to the previously announced patent license agreement with Kyocera covering cdma2000(R) terminal units, InterDigital signed worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-bearing patent license agreements covering both 2G and 3G related products with two Taiwanese companies. Richard Fagan, InterDigital's Chief Financial Officer, noted, "We are pleased with the momentum of our patent licensing program as demonstrated by new agreements with Kyocera, Arima Communications (a manufacturer of mobile handheld devices) and Quanta Computer Inc. (a designer and manufacturer of notebook computers). We continue to broaden our base of business relationships and, consequently, recurring royalties." InterDigital now anticipates third quarter 2005 revenue to be comprised of $34 million to $35 million of recurring patent licensing royalties, $10 million to $10.5 million of revenue related to prior sales of applicable product by the new licensees, and revenue related to technology solution development agreements with General Dynamics Decision Systems, Inc. and Philips Semiconductors B.V. in the range of $4.0 million. In addition, the company reiterated previous guidance for third quarter ongoing operating expenses noting that, subject to the level of expenses associated with current arbitrations and litigations, such expense levels are expected to be similar to first quarter 2005. Additionally, third quarter repositioning expenses associated with the previously announced closure of its Melbourne, Florida development center are expected to be approximately $0.8 million. InterDigital expects to release third quarter 2005 financial results in early November. The company also announced that the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas has scheduled the first week of November for the commencement of the trial in the patent infringement litigation lawsuit involving the company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Tantivy Communications, Inc. and Lucent Technologies, Inc. Previously, the trial had been scheduled to commence in September 2005.
