Eric Singer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased to report our latest financial results. Over the past year, our ability to communicate with shareholders has been constrained, making this an unusual period for the Company. Throughout that time, however, our priorities have remained unchanged: protecting and monetizing our intellectual property portfolio, allocating capital thoughtfully, and creating long-term shareholder value."

“We are pleased with the value created to date through our investment in Barnes & Noble Education. Barnes & Noble Education recently initiated a quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share, reflecting its confidence in its business prospects. In addition to our other cash and investments, Immersion owns more than 11 million shares of Barnes & Noble Education,” Singer continued.

“We will remain focused on managing our business and assets while allocating capital thoughtfully,” Singer added. “Since initiating our dividend program in January 2023, Immersion has paid or declared approximately $1.01 per share in dividends to shareholders. At recent trading levels for Immersion shares, we expect to continue emphasizing regular quarterly dividends and periodic special dividends rather than aggressive share repurchases. Currently, the Company has $39.3 million available for repurchase under the stock repurchase program.”

“Immersion’s insiders continue to own a significant equity stake in the Company, and our interests remain closely aligned with those of our fellow shareholders as we seek to grow the Company’s shareholder equity over the long term,” Singer concluded.

In December 2025, Immersion increased the quarterly dividend from $0.045 per share to $0.075 per share. The third quarterly dividend since such increase, in the amount of $0.075 per share, will be paid on July 31, 2026, to stockholders of record on July 20, 2026. Immersion has distributed 15 consecutive quarterly dividends to its shareholders. Future quarterly dividends will be subject to further review and approval by the Board in accordance with applicable law. The Board reserves the right to adjust or withdraw the quarterly dividend in future periods as it reviews the Company’s capital allocation strategy from time-to-time.

The financial information presented in this press release includes the consolidated financial information of Barnes & Noble Education for the fiscal year ended May 2, 2026 and for the period from June 10, 2024 to May 3, 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports all required financial information 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. The Company discloses certain non-GAAP information, such as Non-GAAP Net income (loss) attributable to Immersion stockholders, Non-GAAP Net income (loss) per diluted common share attributable to Immersion stockholders, and Non-GAAP Operating expenses because it is useful in understanding the Company’s performance as it excludes certain non-cash expenses like stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expense, impairment loss, other (income) expense, and other nonrecurring charges 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. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results under GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their closest GAAP financial measures in tables contained in this press release.

Forward-looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are identified by words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “can,” “will,” “places,” “estimates,” and other similar expressions. However, these words are not the only way we identify forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include any expectations, projections, or other characterizations of future events, or circumstances, including but not limited to statements about the Company’s focus on protecting its intellectual property, either through the execution of new or renewal of license agreements or by proactive enforcement, continuing to pursue thoughtful capital allocation to increase long-term stockholder value, and the timing of any dividend payments.

Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, therefore we caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: the inability to predict the outcome of any litigation, the costs associated with any litigation and the risks related to our business, both direct and indirect, of initiating litigation, unanticipated changes in the markets in which the Company operates; the effects of the current macroeconomic climate; delay in or failure to achieve adoption of or commercial demand for the Company’s products or third party products incorporating the Company’s technologies; the inability of Immersion to renew existing licensing arrangements or enter into new licensing arrangements on favorable terms; the loss of a major customer; the ability of Immersion to protect and enforce its intellectual property rights and other factors. 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 fiscal 2026 as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and Barnes & Noble Education’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended May 2, 2026 as filed with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements made by us in this press release speak only as of the date of this press release, and the Company does not intend to update these forward-looking statements after the date of this press release, except as required by law.
