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 profitab

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.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition. On July 30, 2025, Immersion Corporation (the “Company”) filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 (“Form 12b-25”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to report that the Company is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. The Form 12b-25 included selected preliminary and unaudited financial results for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 and included the following information: In July 2025, certain information regarding the recording of cost of sales was brought to the attention of the management of Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. (“Barnes & Noble Education” or “BNED”), which is a subsidiary of the Company. BNED’s management promptly informed the Audit Committee of the BNED Board of Directors (the “BNED Audit Committee”), which caused the BNED Audit Committee to commence an internal investigation with the assistance of outside counsel and advisors. The investigation at BNED is ongoing and all parties are working diligently to complete the investigation. However, based on initial findings, which could change as the investigation is in its early stages, BNED’s management believes that it may have a potential overstatement of up to $23.0 million in the aggregate to BNED’s accounts receivable balance as of the Company’s fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, which BNED believes is the cumulative net impact of overstatements and understatements to its cost of sales during the fiscal years 2024 and 2025, impacting results of operations in those periods. Based on the BNED Audit Committee’s investigation to date, the Company believes that these potential impacts may have resulted from the actions of a payment processing employee, who has been suspended pending the results of the BNED Audit Committee’s investigation. BNED has not reached a conclusion whether any restatement of previously issued financial statements will be required as a result of the investigation. In addition, certain other financial reporting process matters require resolution in addition to any impact from the conclusion of the ongoing investigation. As such, management is unable to complete the Company’s financial reporting process and preparation of its financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025. Barnes & Noble Education’s management is also assessing the effect of this matter on its internal control over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures. BNED expects to report at least one material weakness related to the appropriate review and approval of manual journal entries
