global technology leader, Panasonic Corporation, entered into a
strategic partnership to monetize over 900 semiconductor patents.
This agreement anchors our new core semiconductor licensing program
and establishes a model for further collaboration with existing and
potential partners."
Added Skippen, "Our
determined effort overcame litigation setbacks to sign license
agreements with many defendants including BlackBerry, HTC and
Sierra Wireless. These agreements contributed to our strong
revenues and adjusted earnings in the fourth quarter."
"Over the fiscal
year, WiLAN signed license agreements with 17 companies, including
Panasonic which signed a broad license to our digital TV and
display patent portfolio. These license agreements generated our
second highest annual bookings," commented Skippen.
Eligible
Dividend
The Board of
Directors has declared an eligible dividend of CDN $0.04 per common
share to be paid on April 4, 2014 to shareholders of record on
March 21, 2014.
WiLAN has stated
previously that the Company's Board of Directors would normally
consider and, if deemed appropriate, increase the quarterly
dividend with the release of fourth quarter and annual financial
results. As changes to the dividend policy are under consideration
in the Company's ongoing strategic review, WiLAN will not be making
any changes to the quarterly dividend at this time.
Fourth Quarter and
Fiscal Year 2013 Revenue Review
In the three month
period ended December 31, 2013, WiLAN generated revenues of $29.2
million, as compared to $21.2 million in the three month period
ended December 31, 2012. In the twelve month period ended December
31, 2013, WiLAN generated revenues of $88.2 million, as compared to
$88.0 million in the twelve month period ended December 31,
2012.
For the twelve month
period ended December 31, 2013, the top 10 licensees accounted for
79 percent of revenues, whereas the top 10 accounted for 83 percent
of revenues in the twelve month period ended December 31, 2012.
Fourth Quarter and
Fiscal Year 2013 Operating Expense Review
In the three month
period ended December 31, 2013, cost of revenue totaled $16.1
million as compared to $16.6 million in the three month period
ended December 31, 2012.
For the twelve month
period ended December 31, 2013, cost of revenues totaled $82.2
million as compared to $55.9 million in the same period last year.
The increase in expenses is primarily attributable to an increase
in litigation expense, patent licensing expense as a result of an
increase in staffing levels and an increased level of technical
consulting services in support of litigation and patent acquisition
evaluation, and amortization expense as a result of patent
acquisitions completed during fiscal 2012 and 2013.

For the three months
ended December 31, 2013, litigation expenses amounted to $4.7
million compared to $8.8 million for the same period last year. The
decrease in litigation for the three months ended December 31, 2013
is attributable to the conclusion of two trials and the dismissal
of seven litigations as a result of licenses signed during the
third and fourth quarters. For the twelve months ended December 31,
2013, litigation expenses amounted to $45.9 million compared to
$25.6 million for the same period last year. The increase in
litigation expenses is attributable to an increase in the level of
litigation activities in comparison to the same period last year,
including preparation for three claims construction hearings, and
preparation for two trials which took place in July 2013 and
October 2013. Litigation expenses are expected to vary from period
to period due to the variability of litigation activities. We
expect a reduction in litigation expenses in fiscal 2014 as a
result of the license agreements signed during the third and fourth
quarter of fiscal 2013 and the completion of the related
trials.
In the fourth
quarter ended December 31, 2013, MG&A expenses amounted to $2.9
million as compared to $3.0 million in the fourth quarter ended
December 31, 2012. The decrease in spending for the three months
ended December 31, 2013 is primarily attributable to a decrease in
stock-based compensation. For the fiscal year ended December 31,
2013, MG&A totaled $13.1 million as compared to $12.3 million
in the same period last year. The increase in spending for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2013 is primarily attributable to
an increase in salary costs and third party costs related to the
increase in staffing levels, as well as an increase in consulting
costs in support of the strategic alternatives review announced on
October 30, 2013.

In the fourth
quarter ended December 31, 2013, R&D expenses were $2.8 million
as compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31,
2012. The increase in spending for the three months ended December
31, 2013 is primarily attributable to an increase in patent
management costs, principally patent prosecution and maintenance
costs, as a result of the increased size and breadth of our patent
portfolio and an increase in stock-based compensation expense. For
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, R&D totaled $9.3
million as compared to $9.0 million in the same period last year.
The increase in spending for the twelve months ended December 31,
2013 is primarily attributable to an increase in patent management
costs, principally patent prosecution and maintenance costs,
partially offset by a decrease in staffing costs related to the
research function resulting from the workforce reduction undertaken
in fiscal 2012.

In the quarter ended
December 31, 2013, the Company incurred a foreign exchange loss of
$1.1 million, of which $0.8 million was an unrealized foreign
exchange loss, a non-cash expense. For the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2013, the Company incurred a foreign exchange loss of
$2.5 million, of which $1.7 million was an unrealized foreign
exchange loss, a non-cash expense. The unrealized foreign exchange
loss recognized in the three months and fiscal year ended December
31, 2013 results from the translation of monetary accounts
denominated in Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars at year end as well
as the revaluation of foreign exchange contracts held at year end.
At December 31, 2013, WiLAN held foreign exchange forward contracts
totaling approximately $32 million which mature at various dates
through to January 2015.
Fourth Quarter and
Fiscal Year 2013 Earnings Review
In the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013, WiLAN generated
adjusted earnings of $17.2 million or 14 cents per basic share as
compared to $7.0 million or 6 cents per basic share, in the
comparative period. The increase in adjusted earnings for the three
months ended December 31, 2013 is primarily attributable to
increased revenues. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013,
WiLAN generated adjusted earnings of $17.6 million or 15 cents per
basic share as compared to $41.8 million or 34 cents per basic
share, in the comparative period. The decrease in adjusted earnings
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 is primarily
attributable to higher investment in litigation and to a lesser
extent, increased staff costs.
The Company's GAAP
earnings amounted to earnings of $2.4 million, or 2 cents per share
on a basic level, in the three month period ended December 31,
2013, as compared to a GAAP loss of $2.1 million, or 2 cents per
share on a basic level, in the same period last year.
In the twelve month
period ended December 31, 2013, the Company generated a GAAP loss
of $18.1 million, or 15 cents per share on a basic level as
compared to a GAAP loss of $14.5 million or 12 cents per share on a
basic level, in the same period last year.
Fourth Quarter and
Fiscal Year 2013 Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review
At December 31, 2013, the Company's cash, comprised of cash and
cash equivalents and short-term investments, totaled $131.9
million, representing a decrease of $45 million from the cash
position at December 31, 2012. The decrease is primarily
attributable to the returning of $25.5 million to shareholders in
dividend and share buyback payments, the acquisition of patents
totaling $10.3 million and $9.5 million used by operations. The
Company's cash equivalents and short-term investments include
T-bills, term deposits and GICs.
During the fourth
quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company generated $1.5 million
of cash from operations and returned $5.7 million to shareholders
in dividend and share buyback payments.
At December 31,
2013, approximately 11% of the Company's cash and cash equivalents
and short term investments were denominated in Canadian
dollars.
First Quarter 2014
Financial Guidance
For the first
quarter 2014 ending March 31, 2014, the Company expects revenue to
be at least $22.6 million. This revenue guidance does not include
the potential impact of any additional reports yet to be received,
new agreements that may be signed during the balance of the first
quarter of 2014 or the potential impact of any royalties identified
in audits conducted by the Company. This guidance is provided prior
to the completion of the first month of this fiscal quarter and as
such, a number of reports that normally are submitted at or shortly
after the month end have yet to be received by the Company.
Quarterly revenues based on signed contracts only for the balance
of fiscal 2014 are expected to be moderately below the guidance
given for the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
Operating expenses
for the first quarter are expected to be in the range of $10.2
million to $12.2 million of which $3.0 million to $5.0 million is
expected to be litigation expense. For the first quarter of 2014,
and assuming no additional agreements are signed, adjusted earnings
are expected to be in the range of $10.6 million to $12.6
million.
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 ending March 31, 2014 reflect our
current business indicators and expectations and are subject to
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Due to their
nature, certain income and expense items, such as significant
license agreements with 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.
