EAST PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/11/16 -- Finjan Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FNJN), a cybersecurity company, is providing shareholders with a financial update and a highlight of key accomplishments for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter of 2016:

  • Revenue of $1.1 million versus no revenues a year ago
  • $15 million Jury Verdict and subsequent affirmative Judgement against Sophos
  • $11.6 million in cash
  • Redeemed and retired $2.6 million or 17,286 shares of Series A preferred stock
  • Net Loss of $3.3 million or $0.14 per share (before the Series A accretion) compared to a net loss of $4.7 million or $0.21 a share a year ago

"Notably during the third quarter we were awarded $15 million by a Jury in the Northern District of California in our lawsuit against Sophos. The Verdict has since been affirmed by the Court having entered a Judgment that all five of Finjan's patents were found valid and directly infringed. This is our second favorable district court result in a year's time with California juries awarding Finjan nearly $60 million," said Phil Hartstein, President and CEO of Finjan Holdings. "In an effort to both advance and protect our patented technologies, we continue to pursue licensing deals on a negotiated basis, engage in litigation where required (including overseas), and are advancing our new technology offerings into the cybersecurity marketplace."

IP Licensing and Enforcement:

  • $15 million Jury Verdict and affirmed Judgment against Sophos after all five Finjan patents were found valid and infringed;
  • Granted 12th international patent;
  • The value of Finjan's patents reinforced in several decisive actions by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB);
  • Filed a new and separate litigation against Blue Coat in Germany; and,
  • Currently in 25 licensing negotiations, four are in advanced business discussions, and we expect at least one to close in the current quarter.

In fact, at the end of October, we launched VitalSecurity, the Gen3 version of our mobile secure browser and with 1,000 downloads a day, initial momentum has been very positive," continued Hartstein.
