Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>ADEA announced a licensing agreement with AMZN setting the path for greater free cash flow in 2025. ADEA has previously mentioned it was close to signing two major licensing agreements.   </li>
<li>We assume ADEA’s full year guidance includes catch-up revenue associated with the license since AMZN was never a licensee before.   </li>
<li>ADEA had already signed several video streaming licenses, but AMZN would serve as the largest to date. It gives the investment story a stronger foundation.</li>

ADEA had already signed several video streaming licenses, but AMZN would serve as the largest to date. It gives the investment story a stronger foundation.

<li>ADEA signed seven license agreements but none of them were the two large license agreements ADEA’s management promised could happen on the prior earnings calls.</li>
<li>ADEA has been suggesting it was on the cusp of signing one major video streaming and one major semiconductor license, but none was announced. </li>
<li>Six of the seven licenses signed in the quarter were renewals. The seventh was an ecommerce license with Neiman Marcus. </li>

<li>ADEA could be the most under the radar artificial intelligence (“AI”) beneficiary through its patent portfolio related to hybrid bonding</li>
<li>Hybrid bonding is expected to help usher the next generation of semiconductors to handle the growing need for speed and bandwidth with lower power consumption</li>
<li>ADEA’s stock has been mainly valued on the free cash flow it is able to generate from its media patent portfolio with little value given to ADEA’s semiconductor patent portfolio</li>

<li>Q3 is coming to an end and ADEA has yet to announce new licensing deals its management has been asserting would happen this year. </li>
<li>ADEA has maintained a revenue forecast of $380 million to $420 million on the expectation there would be at least two major new licenses announced this year.   </li>
<li>Our earning model currently calls for ADEA to generate $400 million in revenue with the third quarter being a smaller step up in revenue compared to the fourth quarter.</li>

<ul>
<li>ADEA signed several renewals in the second quarter extending out terms with current licensees and showing to investors that there is value from the portfolio of more than 11,500 patents. </li>
<li>The deals ADEA signed in the quarter were not the headline grabbing nature, unlike those in prior quarters and those we expect the Company to sign in coming quarters. </li>
<li>ADEA generating annual free cash flow of approximately $150 million should become a bigger factor to valuing the equity as the debt balance becomes visually smaller to investors.</li>
