Q3 2017 Revenues expected to be in the range of $72.5 to $82.5 Million
 
OTTAWA, Canada – October 2, 2017 – Quarterhill Inc. (“Quarterhill” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: QTRH, TSX: QTRH) today provided an update on expected financial results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 (“Q3 2017”).  Quarterhill financial results are reported in United States dollars.
 
Driven by strong results from Wi-LAN Inc. (“WiLAN”), the Company’s patent licensing subsidiary, and the inclusion of a full quarter of operations of its other subsidiaries, International Road Dynamics Inc. and VIZIYA Corp., Quarterhill’s consolidated revenue for Q3 2017 is expected to be in the range of $72.5 to $82.5 million.
 
Adjusted EBITDA* for Q3 2017 is expected to be in the range of $50.0 to $56.0 million.
 
“We are very pleased to have such a substantial contribution from WiLAN this quarter,” said Shaun McEwan, Interim CEO.  “As we have said in the past, financial results in this segment of our business can be variable from quarter-to-quarter and this is a prime example of the upside potential of this variability.  Our expected results for Q3 will provide a significant boost to our cash position, which will assist in the continued growth of Quarterhill.”
 
Quarterhill will release its Q3 2017 financial results at 6:30 AM ET on Thursday, November 9, 2017. The Company will host a conference call to discuss its results at 10:00 AM ET that morning.  Details on how to access the conference call will be provided later in October.
