Management Commentary
Chief Executive Officer Vic Viegas of Immersion said, “We continue to make positive progress in furthering the value and adoption of haptics across a growing number of markets, as we added, renewed or expanded numerous licensing engagements during our third quarter of 2017. This is further evidence of the value of our technology, our resolute focus on the execution of our strategy and achievement of our operational objectives even as we aggressively pursue the protection of our intellectual property.”
“We are updating our outlook for revenues for the year to be in the range of $33 to $35 million. This update narrows the range and increases the upper end of our previous revenue guidance. Based on this forecast, we expect to generate improved annual bottom line results of a non-GAAP net loss between $(24) million and $(29) million,” concluded Mr. Viegas.
Recent Business Highlights
Update on Apple Litigations
On October 31, 2017, Immersion received notification from the Chief Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) at the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that the due date for the initial determination in the ITC’s investigation of Immersion’s infringement allegations against Apple, Inc. has been extended from November 13, 2017 to January 31, 2018. The notification explained that the Chief ALJ has assumed responsibility for the investigations of a retiring judge, and needs to extend the dates in order to afford him an adequate amount of time to complete the additional investigations he is now responsible for, and to draft the initial determination. As a result of this extension, the target date for the completion of the investigation is now expected to be May 31, 2018.
Additionally, Immersion today announces that it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Beijing High People's Court against Apple Computer Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Apple Electronic Product Commerce (Beijing) Co., Ltd., and Apple Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd alleging that the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus infringe Immersion’s Chinese patents ZL02821854.X and ZL200810008845.X.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Immersion reports all financial information required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), but it believes that evaluating its ongoing operating results may be difficult to understand if limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Immersion discloses this non-GAAP information, such as Non-GAAP net loss and Non-GAAP net loss per share, because it is useful in understanding the company’s performance as it more closely reflects its expected long-term effective tax rates and excludes certain non-cash expenses and other special charges, such as deferred tax assets valuation allowance, that many investors feel may obscure the company’s true operating performance. Likewise, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to manage and assess the profitability of its business. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures.
Forward-looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” that involve risks and uncertainties as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause the results of Immersion Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
All statements, other than the statements of historical fact, are statements that may be deemed forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, our expectation that revenues for 2017 will be in the range of $33 million to $35 million and non-GAAP net loss for 2017 ranging from $(24) million to $(29) million and statements regarding litigation outcomes.
Immersion’s actual results might differ materially from those stated or implied by such forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties associated with Immersion’s business, which include, but are not limited to, potential and actual claims and proceedings, including litigation involving Immersion’s intellectual property; the impact of litigation developments on existing and potential customers; delay in or failure to achieve commercial demand for Immersion’s or its licensees’ products; unexpected difficulties in monetizing the patent portfolio; the commercial success of applications or devices into which Immersion’s technology is licensed; the continued popularity of mobile games and wearables; potentially lengthy sales cycles and design processes; unanticipated difficulties and challenges encountered in development efforts; unexpected costs; the fact that certain target markets are still relatively nascent; risks associated with doing business internationally; litigation costs in any current or future litigation; failure to retain key personnel; ability to retain personnel; competition; the inherently uncertain nature of litigation which makes future outcomes and timing difficult to predict; the impact of global economic conditions and foreign currency exchange rates and other factors. Many of these risks and uncertainties are beyond the control of Immersion.
For a more detailed discussion of these factors, and other factors that could cause actual results to vary materially, interested parties should review the risk factors listed in Immersion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2016 and its most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which are on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements in this press release reflect Immersion’s beliefs and predictions as of the date of this release. Immersion disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements as a result of financial, business, or any other developments occurring after the date of this release.
