Acacia Research Corporation (Nasdaq: ACTG) (“Acacia” or
the “Company”), which acquires and operates businesses
across the industrial, energy and technology sectors, today
reported financial results for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2024. The Company also posted its third quarter 2024
earnings presentation on its website at www.acaciaresearch.com
under Events & Presentations.
Martin (“MJ”) D. McNulty, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, stated,
“Acacia’s third quarter results reflect the Company’s unwavering
focus on value creation via its core technology, energy and
industrials verticals. The Company generated $23.3 million in
consolidated revenue, up 131% compared to the third quarter last
year, recorded a net loss of $14.0 million and produced $1.7
million of Total Company Adjusted EBITDA, and $6.9 million of
Operated Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter.1 Excluding the
Company’s Intellectual Property Operations, Operated Segment
Adjusted EBITDA was $9.0 million for the quarter. A breakdown of
the Adjusted EBITDA for each of the Company’s operating segments
for the three months ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, and
the nine months ended September 30 is included in this Earnings
Release and in the Company’s third quarter 2024 earnings
presentation.
Subsequent to the quarter, Acacia completed its third
transaction in the last twelve months, acquiring Deflecto
Acquisition, Inc., a leading specialty manufacturer of essential
products serving the commercial transportation, HVAC and office
markets for $103.7 million. I’m excited about the value creation
potential Deflecto offers through product and operational
optimization, and strategic M&A, and look forward to
integrating Deflecto into Acacia’s growing portfolio of strategic
assets.
Following the Deflecto acquisition, the Company’s cash reserves
were approximately $280 million for potential future transactions.
The Company also delivered approximately $14 million to
shareholders as of November 7, 2024, via our stock repurchase
program as part of our long-term strategy to deploy excess cash and
increase total shareholder returns over time.”

3 Energy Operations Adjusted EBITDA,

Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. For the
definitions of these measures and reconciliations of these measures
to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see the
accompanying supplemental information section.
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Summary and Highlights:
- Total revenues were $23.3 million, up 131% compared to $10.1
million in the same quarter last year.
- Energy Operations generated $15.8 million in revenue in the
quarter. As the Company’s initial investment in Benchmark closed on
November 13, 2023, there is no comparable revenue in the same
quarter last year.
- Industrial Operations generated $7.0 million in revenue during
the quarter, compared to $8.3 million in the same quarter last
year. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a decrease in
printer sales.
- Intellectual Property Operations generated $0.5 million in
licensing and other revenue during the quarter, compared to $1.8
million in the same quarter last year.
- General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $11.1
million, compared to $11.6 million in the same quarter of last
year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in Parent
company G&A partially offset by the addition of the Company’s
new energy segment operations.
- The Company recorded a GAAP operating loss of $10.3 million,
compared to a GAAP operating loss of $13.2 million in the same
quarter of last year primarily due to higher revenues generated.
- Energy Operations contributed $3.1 million in operating income,
which included $4.3 million of non-cash depreciation, depletion and
amortization expenses, $0.3 million in one-time transaction costs
and does not reflect $0.7 million of realized derivatives gain.
Such income includes revenue from the Revolution assets that
Benchmark acquired earlier in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for Energy
Operations was $8.4 million.
- Industrial Operations contributed $0.1 million in operating
loss which included $0.7 million of non-cash depreciation and
amortization expenses. Adjusted EBITDA for Acacia’s Industrial
Operations was $0.6 million.
- The third quarter included $1.9 million in non-recurring Parent
general and administrative charges.
- The Company recorded GAAP net loss of $14.0 million, or $0.14
diluted net loss per share, compared to GAAP net income of $1.6
million, or $0.03 diluted net loss per share, in the third quarter
of last year.
- Net loss included $4.1 million in unrealized loss related to
the fair value of equity securities at September 30, 2024.
- Net loss included $2.0 million in non-recurring expense related
to legacy legal matters, which have now been settled.

recorded unrealized gain related to the Company’s Arix Bioscience
Plc. position for a realized gain.
Life Sciences Portfolio
Acacia has generated $564.1 million in proceeds from sales and
royalties of its Life Sciences Portfolio, which was purchased for
an aggregate price of $301.4 million in 2020. At September 30, 2024
Acacia’s remaining positions in its Life Sciences Portfolio
represented $25.7 million in book value:
- Acacia holds interests in three private companies, valued at an
aggregate of $25.7 million, net of non-controlling interests,
including an approximately 26% interest in Viamet Pharmaceuticals,
Inc., an approximately 18% interest in AMO Pharma, Ltd. and an
approximately 4% interest in NovaBiotics Ltd. Values are based on
cost or equity accounting.
Balance Sheet and Capital Structure
- Cash, cash equivalents and equity investments measured at fair
value totaled $374.2 million at September 30, 2024 compared to
$403.2 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease in cash was
primarily due to $60.0 million paid to acquire the Revolution
assets, $12.0 million paid on the Benchmark revolving credit
facility and $7.3 million in repurchases of common stock during the
quarter, offset by cash provided by operating activities.
- Equity securities without readily determinable fair value
totaled $5.8 million at September 30, 2024, unchanged from December
31, 2023.
- Investment securities representing equity method investments
totaled $19.9 million at September 30, 2024 (net of noncontrolling
interests), unchanged from December 31, 2023. Acacia owns 64% of
MalinJ1, which results in a 26% indirect ownership stake in Viamet
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for Acacia.
- The Parent company’s total indebtedness was zero at September
30, 2024. On a consolidated basis, Acacia’s total indebtedness was
$70.0 million in non-recourse debt at Benchmark as of September 30,
2024.
Book Value as of September 30, 2024
At September 30, 2024, Acacia’s book value was $578.6 million
and there were 98.8 million shares of common stock outstanding, for
a book value per share of $5.85. Excluding the impact of $14.9
million in non-recurring expenses related to legacy legal matters,
which have now been settled, the Company’s book value per share at
September 30, 2024 would have been $6.00 per share.
Share Repurchase Program
On November 9, 2023, Acacia’s Board of Directors approved a
stock repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) for up
to $20.0 million, subject to a cap of 5,800,000 shares of Acacia
common stock. As of November 7, 2024, the Company has repurchased
3,007,294 common shares for $14.0 million as part of the Company’s
overall long-term strategy to deploy excess cash and increase total
shareholder returns over time. The Company intends to continue to
opportunistically complete share repurchases in the open market
during the fourth quarter of 2024 and into 2025, subject to
operating needs, market conditions, legal requirements, stock price
and other considerations. The Repurchase Program has no time limit
and does not require the repurchase of a minimum number of shares.
The common stock may be repurchased on the open market, in block
trades, or in privately negotiated transactions, including under
plans complying with the provisions of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18
of the Exchange Act. Refer to Note 14 to the consolidated financial
statements in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
three months ended September 30, 2024 for additional

ACACIA RESEARCH CORPORATION - SUPPLEMENTAL
INFORMATION NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE
This earnings release includes adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated
basis and for each of the Company’s segments. Total Company
Adjusted EBITDA, Operated Segment Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted
EBITDA for each of the Company’s segments are supplemental non-GAAP
financial measures used by management and external users of the
Company’s consolidated financial statements. GAAP refers to
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. A
non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or
future performance, financial position or cash flow that includes
or excludes amounts that are excluded or included, respectively, in
the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in
accordance with GAAP in the Company’s financial statements.
Total Company Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income / (loss)
before net income / (loss) attributable to noncontrolling
interests, income tax (benefit) / expense, interest income and
other, net, loss / (gain) on foreign currency exchange, net
realized and unrealized (gain) / loss on derivatives, net realized
and unrealized loss / (gain) on investments, non-recurring legacy
legal expenses, depreciation, depletion and amortization,
stock-based compensation, realized hedge gain / (loss),
transaction-related costs, and costs related to certain legacy
items. Operated Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the aggregate of Energy
Operations Adjusted EBITDA, Industrial Operations Adjusted EBITDA
and Intellectual Property Operations Adjusted EBITDA. The Company
is providing Total Company Adjusted EBITDA and Operated Segment
Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP financial measures, because management
believes these metrics provide investors with useful supplemental
information in comparing the operating results across reporting
periods by excluding items that are not considered indicative of
core operating performance. These measures are not intended to
replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with
GAAP and may be different from or otherwise inconsistent with
similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The
presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures supplements other
metrics the Company uses to internally evaluate its subsidiary
businesses and facilitate the comparison of past and present
operating performance. These measures should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for measures calculated and presented
in accordance with GAAP.
Energy Operations
Energy Operations Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income
/ (loss) for Acacia’s Energy Operations before depreciation,
depletion and amortization expense and transaction related costs,
and including realized hedge gain / (loss). The Company is
providing its Energy Operations’ Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP
financial measure, because the metric provides investors with
useful supplemental information in comparing the operating results
across reporting periods by excluding items that are not considered
indicative of core operating performance.
Industrial Operations
Industrial Operations Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating
income / (loss) for Acacia’s Industrial Operations before
intangibles amortization and depreciation and amortization expense.
The Company is providing its Industrial Operations’ Adjusted
EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, because the metric provides
investors with useful supplemental information in comparing the
operating results across reporting periods by excluding items that
are not considered indicative of core operating performance.
Intellectual Property Operations
Intellectual Property Operations Adjusted EBITDA is defined as
operating income / (loss) for Acacia’s Intellectual Property
Operations before patent amortization, depreciation and
amortization expense and stock-based compensation. The Company is
providing Intellectual Property Operations’ Adjusted EBITDA, a
non-GAAP financial measure, because the metric provides investors
with useful supplemental information in comparing the operating
results across reporting periods by excluding items that are not
considered indicative of core operating performance.
Parent Costs
Parent Costs are defined as operating income / (loss)
attributable to Parent before depreciation and amortization
expense, stock-based compensation, and costs related to certain
legacy matters attributable to the Parent organization. The Company
is providing Parent Costs, a non-GAAP financial measure, because it
believes it gives the investor a clear picture of a normalized
parent-level expense burden.
The following tables reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the Company’s
operating segments and for Parent Costs for the three months ended
March 31, June 30 and September 30, and the nine months ended
September 30.
