Network-1 Reports First Quarter 2021 Results

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 17, 2021 / 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 March 31, 2021.

Network-1 had revenue of $18,692,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to revenue of $161,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in revenue of $18,531,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was due to 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 reported net income of $9,451,000 or $0.39 per share basic and $0.38 diluted for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared with a net loss of $1,337,000 or $(0.06) per share basic and diluted for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increased net income of $10,788,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to $18,692,000 of revenue from the resolution of Network-1's contractual dispute with Cisco during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

At March 31, 2021, Network-1's principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $41,271,000 and working capital of $52,271,000. Network-1 believes based on its current cash position that it will have sufficient cash to fund its operations for the foreseeable future.

With respect to Network-1's patent infringement litigation against Hewlett-Packard involving its Remote Power Patent, on May 7, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division, granted Network-1's motion for a new trial and denied its request for judgment as a matter of law on validity (which will be part of the trial). In addition, the District Court scheduled the trial to commence on August 2, 2021.

On March 12, 2021, Network-1 increased its investment in ILiAD Biotechnologies, LLC, a privately held clinical stage biotechnology company dedicated to the prevention of human disease caused by Bordetella pertussis with a current focus on its proprietary intranasal vaccine BPZE1, to an aggregate of $6,000,000 by making an additional $1,000,000 investment as part of ILiAD's private offering of up to $23,500,000 of convertible notes.

On June 9, 2020, the Board of Directors of Network-1 approved the continuation of Network-1's dividend policy which consists of semi-annual cash dividends of $0.05 per share ($0.10 per share annually) which dividends are anticipated to be paid in March and September of each year. On February 23, 2021, Network-1's Board of Directors declared a semi-annual cash dividend of $0.05 per share with a payment date of March 31, 2021 to all shareholders of record as of March 16, 2021. Network-1's dividend policy undergoes a periodic review by the Board of Directors and is subject to change at any time depending upon Network-1's earnings, financial requirements and other factors existing at the time.
