Filing evidence summary

Mixed evidenceCoverage 5/5 core metrics

Latest reported annual revenue changed -4.0% from the prior reported annual observation.

Backward-looking filed evidence under visible rules - not a rating, forecast or investment advice. Missing data is never scored.

Evidence signals

  • Revenue contracted

    Latest reported annual revenue changed -4.0% from the prior reported annual observation.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: above +2% constructive; below -2% caution; otherwise monitor. This is not labeled one-year growth when filing periods have a gap. Period end 2025-12-31.

  • 1 filing risk check flagged

    Flagged areas: Dilution.

    Why this surfaced

    The full financial analysis shows each value, threshold, and sector limitation.

  • Operating margin improved

    Operating margin changed +4.7 percentage points from the prior annual period.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: more than +1 percentage point constructive; below -1 point caution. Period end 2025-12-31.

  • Free cash flow was positive

    Latest reported free cash flow was $529M.

    Why this surfaced

    Free cash flow = operating cash flow minus capital expenditures; positive is supporting evidence, not a valuation conclusion. Period end 2025-12-31.

Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

Point-in-time ledger

first-reported vs latest filing · periods since 2020-01-01 · 0 changed periods

No period on file has changed between its first report and the latest filing carrying it.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

Income taxes · 1,515 characters as filed

INCOME TAXES In the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company had an estimated effective tax rate of 14.1% and 13.7%, respectively. The change in effective tax rate is due to an increase in the amount of non-deductible officers compensation. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded discrete net benefits of $11.0 million and $5.6 million, respectively, primarily related to share-based compensation. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the OBBBA) was signed into law on July 4, 2025. The OBBBA contains significant tax law changes with various effective dates affecting business taxpayers. The tax law changes affecting the Company primarily involve changes to the timing and amount of certain tax deductions, including those related to Foreign-Derived Deduction Eligible Income (FDDEI), Net CFC Tested Income (NCTI), depreciation, R&D expenditures, and interest expense. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on our financial statements in second quarter 2026. The effective tax rate reported in any given year will continue to be influenced by a variety of factors, including timing differences between the recognition of book and tax revenue, the level of pre-tax income or loss, the foreign vs. domestic classification of the Companys customers, and any discrete items that may occur. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company paid approximately $19.7 million and $14.5 million, respectively, in foreign source creditable withh

"LITIGATION AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARBITRATIONS AND COURT PROCEEDINGS Amazon In June 2026, the Company reached an agreement with Amazon.com, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (Amazon) to suspend or withdraw all pending litigation and enter into binding arbitration to determine the final terms of a patent license agreement. Brazil Proceedings In September 2025, Amazon filed a claim in the Second Business Court of Sao Paulo (Sao Paulo Court) against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The claims alleged the non-infringement and non-essentiality of certain patents relating to video coding and video streaming technologies. Amazon was seeking a declaration that the challenged Brazilian patents were not infringed, and a declaration preventing enforcement by the Company of any video coding patents anywhere in Brazil. In November 2025, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries filed a claim in the Regional Business Court of Rio de Janeiro against Amazon. The claim alleged infringement of certain of the Companys patents relating to video coding technologies. The Company was seeking, among other relief, damages and injunctive relief to prevent further infringement of the asserted patents. In July 2026, the parties stayed all Brazil proceedings pending the outcome of the arbitration described above.

"OBLIGATIONS 2027 Notes and Related Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions On May 27, 2022, we issued $460.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.50% Senior Convertible Notes due in 2027 (the ""2027 Notes""). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2027 Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers' transaction fees and offering expenses, were approximately $450.0 million. The 2027 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.50% per year, payable in cash on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2022, and mature on June 1, 2027, unless earlier redeemed, converted or repurchased. The 2027 Notes will be convertible into cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be converted and in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Companys obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes being converted, pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Companys common stock or a combination thereof, at the Companys election. The initial conversion rate was 12.9041 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2027 Notes. Effective July 8, 2026, the conversion rate was adjusted to 13.0351 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2027 Notes (which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $76.72 per share), subject to further adjustment.

Segment reporting · 1,604 characters as filed

SEGMENT PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND EXPENSES Our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker (CODM), assesses company-wide performance and allocates resources based on consolidated financial information. Consequently, we view the entire organization as one reportable segment and the strategic purpose of all operating activities is to support that one segment. Our CODM evaluates company-wide performance based on multiple performance measures, including, but not limited to, net income. Our CODM does not generally evaluate our performance using asset or historical cash flow information. The table below provides the calculation of net income, which is the performance measure that is most consistent with GAAP, and the significant operating expenses included in this performance measure (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Revenue $ 260,170 $ 300,596 $ 465,586 $ 511,103 Less: Departmental expenses (a) 51,005 49,355 99,610 90,692 Depreciation and amortization 19,482 19,465 38,690 37,678 Intellectual property enforcement 25,417 11,963 42,922 18,941 Share-based compensation 24,103 11,836 34,442 21,334 Revenue share costs 924 2,550 28,422 5,199 Other non-operating income, net (b) (4,139) (5,607) (1,672) (5,994) Income tax provision 27,006 30,466 31,471 47,083 Net income $ 116,372 $ 180,568 $ 191,701 $ 296,170 (a) Includes personnel costs, consulting costs, outside services, administrative costs, and other operating
