Network-1 Reports Third Quarter Results

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2022 / Network-1 Technologies, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN:NTIP), a company specializing in the development, licensing, and protection of its intellectual property assets, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Network-1 had no revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to revenue of $17,000,000 and $35,692,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021, was a result of revenue of $17,000,000 from a litigation settlement with Hewlett Packard (HP). Similarly, the revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was from the HP settlement as well as revenue of $18,692,000 from the resolution of a contractual dispute with Cisco Systems, Inc. concerning the licensing of Network-1's Remote Power Patent.

Network-1 realized net income of $2,226,000 or $0.09 per share basic and diluted for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared with net income of $6,589,000 or $0.28 per share basic and $0.27 per share diluted for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decreased net income of $4,363,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily due to revenue of $17,000,000 in the prior year period from the HP settlement being offset by the increase in net other income of $4,024,000 related primarily to Network-1's investment in ILiAD Biotechnologies, Inc ("ILiAD").

During the period December 2018 through August 2022, Network-1 made an aggregate investment of $7,000,000 in ILiAD. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, Network-1 recorded a gain on its equity method investment in ILiAD of $3,727,000 based on dilution of its investment related to an ILiAD securities offering. In addition, as part of the securities offering, Network-1 converted its convertible note, in the principal amount of $1,000,000 plus accrued interest of $86,000 into equity of ILiAD and recorded an unrealized gain on conversion of $271,000.

Network-1 realized a net loss of ($618,000) or $(0.03) per share basic and diluted for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with net income of $15,257,000 or $0.63 per share basic and $0.62 per share diluted for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in net income of $15,875,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was due to decreased revenue of $35,692,000 from the HP settlement and resolution of the contractual dispute with Cisco in the prior year period, offset by the unrealized gains of $3,998,000 related to the dilution of Network-1's ownership in ILiAD as a result of the ILiAD securities offering. Network-1's allocated net loss from its equity method investment in ILiAD totaled $1,073,000 and $632,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

On September 30, 2022, Network-1 had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $48,923,000 and working capital of $48,555,000. Based on its current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities positions, Network-1 believes that it will have sufficient cash to fund its operations for the foreseeable future.

On June 8, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized an extension and increase of the Network-1's share repurchase program (the "Share Repurchase Program") to repurchase up to $5,000,000 of common stock over the subsequent 24-month period. Since inception of the Share Repurchase Program in August 2011 through September 30, 2022, Network-1 has repurchased an aggregate of 9,162,427 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $17,647,631 (exclusive of commissions) or an average per share price of $1.93. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, Network-1 repurchased an aggregate of 75,213 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $174,530 or an average per share price of $2.32.

At September 30, 2022, the remaining dollar value of shares that may be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program was $3,508,374.
