Unwired Planet, Inc. (NASDAQ:UPIP) today announced financial results for
the first quarter fiscal year 2016.
Revenue for the first quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $1.3 million,
while loss from continuing operations totaled $10.2 million.
“We have been working tirelessly on a strategy to reinvigorate Unwired
Planet with financial stability, while executing on our IP licensing
business,” said Boris Teksler, president and chief executive officer.
“With the addition of a new CFO and new board members, we are assembling
a team with the financial acumen to develop and execute on the next
chapter of Unwired Planet.”
“The company continued to manage expenses carefully over the quarter,”
said Jim Wheat, chief financial officer. “We recognized $1.3 million in
revenue from the Lenovo Licensing agreement, which is net of the $0.3
million fee share under the Ericsson MSA. Patent initiative expenses
increased slightly as a result of increased activity in European
litigation, and general and administrative expenses totaled $2.5
million.”
On a GAAP basis, net loss for the first quarter ended September 30, 2015
was $10.2 million, or $0.09 per share, compared with a net loss of $12.1
million, or $0.11 per share, in the first quarter of the preceding year.
