InterDigital’s HDR showcase spotlights consistent storytelling for premium streaming

WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDCC), a wireless, video, and AI technology research and development company, announced that it will demonstrate advancements in SMPTE standards empowering consistent and interoperable HDR conversions at the SMPTE Media Summit, taking place in Pasadena, California from November 16 – 19.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology enhances video with greater contrast, brightness, and a wider color gamut, qualities that play a key role in preserving creative intent – giving broadcasters and content creators the freedom to tell richer visual stories while maintaining the integrity of artistic choices made during production.

SMPTE Dynamic Range Conversion Characterization Metadata Standard

InterDigital will demonstrate contributions to ST 2094-60, the SMPTE Dynamic Range Conversion Characterization Metadata standard that establishes anchor points and associated metadata to ensure consistent and interoperable HDR conversions across different techniques. SMPTE ST 2094-60 enables reliable and predictable HDR–SDR conversions, from live capture to final delivery, while supporting interoperability across diverse streaming and distribution scenarios.

As HDR becomes a widespread feature of the video ecosystem, InterDigital remains focused on developing technologies that deliver optimal HDR quality for all users, including for SDR and HDR formats and inserted content, like replays and advertisements. Some productions require precisely set and maintained reference levels to support regular conversions between HDR and SDR formats, and InterDigital’s innovative metadata-driven method guarantees consistency and interoperability across conversion techniques. Learn more here.

Measuring What Matters: The Future of Video Quality and Monitoring

On November 17 at 10:30 am PT, InterDigital’s David Touzé will participate on a Solutions Hub Program industry panel titled “Measuring What Matters: The Future of Video Quality and Monitoring” that explores how advances in monitoring, testing and analytics are helping the industry ensure reliable delivery, maintain quality, and meet the demands of an evolving media landscape. Learn more here.

Advertising Workflows for HDR

On November 17 at 1:00 pm PT, InterDigital’s Bill Redmann will join a roundtable discussion exploring advertising workflows for HDR, specifically advanced ad creation, signaling, insertion, and lifecycle management across HDR streaming workflows, including interoperability, metadata integrity, quality assurance, and standards-based delivery at scale.

Allowing organizations to capitalize on their existing Eviden Access Management investment while benefiting from IGEL OS™ 12’s secure, modular endpoint architecture

Paris, France – November 12, 2026 – Eviden, the Atos Group product brand leading in cybersecurity products, mission-critical systems and vision AI today announces the availability of Eviden Enterprise Access Management (EAM) on IGEL OS™ 12, the latest version of IGEL’s immutable operating system for secure endpoint access, enabling organizations to combine secure endpoint computing with advanced access management in a modern, modular digital workspace environment.

Available to eligible IGEL^® and Eviden customers through the IGEL App Portal^®, the Eviden EAM App for IGEL OS™ enables organizations to migrate to IGEL OS™ 12 while continuing to use their existing Eviden Enterprise Access Management’s multi-factor capabilities for strong authentication and enterprise single sign-on to business-critical applications. The solution also provides users with facilitated access to Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol and Citrix applications while ensuring seamless integration with the latest version of the IGEL platform.

At the core of the IGEL Adaptive Secure Endpoint Platform™, IGEL OS™ 12 is an immutable operating system for secure endpoint access across compatible laptops, PCs and purpose-built endpoint devices. Its modular architecture enables applications to be deployed and updated independently of the operating system through the IGEL App Portal^®, providing greater flexibility and simplifying endpoint maintenance. Together with the IGEL Universal Management Suite™ (UMS™), which enables centralized management of endpoint configurations, policies and application deployments, the platform helps organizations maintain secure, consistent and centrally governed endpoint environments.

Eviden Enterprise Access Management is designed to secure hundreds or thousands of workstations, combining enterprise single sign-on, multi-factor authentication and self-service password reset in a single centrally managed solution. The IGEL OS™ 12 integration supports Eviden EAM strong authentication, such as contactless RFID badges and smart cards, combined with enterprise single sign-on for secure access to digital workspaces.

The integration of Eviden and IGEL OS™ 12 is the result of the active cooperation between the two companies to provide customers with simpler management, greater flexibility and an improved security posture, while extending the benefits of a controlled endpoint environment. This successful partnership is already helping healthcare professionals and employees in industrial and retail environments securely access critical applications from IGEL OS-based endpoints

David Leporini, deputy director for cyber products, Eviden, Atos Group, said: “Organizations are looking for ways to modernize their endpoint environments without compromising security or user experience. The availability of Eviden Enterprise Access Management on IGEL OS™ 12 enables customers to take advantage of IGEL’s latest modular platform while continuing to benefit from trusted, enterprise-grade authentication and single sign-on capabilities across their digital workspace environments.”

Matthias Haas, managing director and CTO at IGEL, said: “IGEL OS 12 gives customers greater flexibility in how they deploy and manage applications while maintaining the trusted endpoint foundation established by its immutable architecture. By making Eviden Enterprise Access Management available on IGEL OS 12, we are helping organizations extend secure and streamlined access to supported applications and virtual workspaces in environments where identity security and endpoint control are critical.”

LONDON, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

Highlights:

• Strong operational and financial performance in 2026 to date.
• Positive momentum in order intake with £33bn of orders secured so far and further agreements anticipated before the end of the year.
• Free cash flow now expected to be around £3bn (from >£2bn); sales, EBIT and EPS targets remain on track following the upgrade to guidance at our half year results in July.
• Well positioned for continued growth over the medium term.

Charles Woodburn, BAE Systems Chief Executive, said:
“We’ve delivered strong financial and operational performance year to date, as well as positive order intake momentum. Our substantial backlog provides good visibility and, with our portfolio aligned to evolving threats and customer priorities, we remain well positioned to deliver sustainable growth over the years ahead.”

Trading update
The Group is trading well in the second half of the year so far. Consistent with the first half, strong trading in our Electronic Systems, Air and Platforms & Services sectors has more than offset subdued growth and margins in our Maritime sector as we progress through the first-in-class stage of the Type 26 frigate programme. Having upgraded Group guidance at the half year, we remain on track to deliver on this for sales, EBIT and EPS, and now expect to deliver c.£3bn of free cash flow, with some benefit from customer advances.

Across our markets, governments remain committed to increasing defence spending and we continue to see significant opportunities for growth across all our key markets and domains. Our substantial backlog of secured work provides good visibility, while the alignment of our portfolio to customer priorities and evolving threats positions us to deliver growth across a range of government defence spending outcomes.

In the US, our portfolio is strongly aligned with defence and intelligence focus areas. Examples include our munitions production, where we support 10 of the 12 programmes prioritised for significantly increased production capacity, and space, where our capabilities play essential roles in missile warning and tracking programmes to protect the nation and its armed forces.

In the UK, the Defence Investment Plan reinforces investment across both our long-term programmes and future capabilities, including next-generation fighter jets, autonomous collaborative combat aircraft and other advanced technologies.

In Europe, continued growth and visibility are supported by rising defence investment and our exposure to multiple priority capability areas, including missile and air defence systems, land vehicles and combat air.

From this position of strength, we will continue our focus on operational excellence and performance to further simplify our business, enhance our competitiveness and support long-term growth.

Guidance
We expect strong growth in sales, underlying earnings before interest and tax (EBIT), underlying earnings per share (EPS) and free cash flow in 2026. Full year sales, EBIT and EPS guidance remains unchanged from the guidance we provided at the half year results in July. We now expect to deliver c.£3bn of free cash flow, including some benefit from customer advances received to date but excluding any material advances we may receive in the remainder of the year.

Sales	+8% to +10% (2025: £30.7bn)
Underlying EBIT	+10% to +12% (2025: £3.3bn)
Underlying EPS	+11% to +13% (2025: 75.2p)
Free cash flow (FCF) in 2026	c.£3.0bn (was >£2.0bn, 2025: £2.2bn)

Guidance is provided on a constant currency basis using a GBP:USD exchange rate of $1.32:£1, the average exchange rate in 2025. The average exchange rate for the year to date is approximately $1.34. As a guide, a 5 cent movement in the GBP:USD exchange rate impacts sales by c.£500m, underlying EBIT by c.£70m and underlying EPS by c.1.4p.

The weighted average number of ordinary shares to calculate full year underlying EPS is expected to be around 3.0bn.

Order intake
We have secured orders of £33bn in 2026 so far. Notable awards received in the second half of the year include:

• Air – c.£1.6bn of orders related to the Global Combat Air Programme, including our share of the c.£4.6bn contract awarded to Edgewing to enable the completion of the advanced concept and assessment phase and progress towards joint detailed design and development.
• Air – c.£1.5bn related to our share of MBDA orders in the period.
• Maritime – c.£4.3bn further funding for critical work to progress the UK’s Dreadnought Class nuclear deterrent submarines towards entry into service.
• Maritime – c.A$1.3bn contract for Australia’s High Frequency Surveillance capability system to establish an Arctic over-the-horizon radar (A-OTHR) in Canada, marking Australia’s largest ever defence export.
• Electronic Systems – c.$1.0bn in incremental funding received for key munitions programmes, including ongoing production of APKWS^® precision guidance systems and THAAD infrared seekers.
• Platforms & Services – c.$0.8bn in contract funding to continue full rate production of Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicles for the US Army.
• Platforms & Services – Ordnance Systems received funding of c.$0.5bn across the Holston and Radford Army Ammunition Plants to continue energetics production and support facilities modernisation.

Balance sheet and capital allocation
Our strong financial position enables us to implement all parts of our capital allocation policy. We continue to prioritise investment in our business to support organic growth, pay dividends to our shareholders, explore value enhancing acquisition opportunities and execute our share buyback programme.

Total cash returned to shareholders in 2026 is expected to be c.£1.6bn, comprising the final dividend for 2025, the interim dividend for 2026, which will be paid on 2 December 2026, and c.£500m of share repurchases.

Full year 2026 results
We will announce our preliminary results for the year ending 31 December 2026 on 19 February 2027.

Forward-Looking Statements

Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbour protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbour provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbour legislation. The words “believe”, “anticipate”, “intends”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “project”, “plan”, “potential”, “may”, “should”, “expect”, “pending” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, our management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the failure of counterparties to fully perform their contracts with us, the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand for tanker vessel capacity, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, the market for our vessels, availability of financing and refinancing, charter counterparty performance, ability to obtain financing and comply with covenants in such financing arrangements, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, vessels breakdowns and instances of off-hires and other  factors. Please see our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.

InstallatørGruppen has entered into an agreement to acquire Hjarsø El-teknik ApS, an electrical installation company based in Greve, Denmark, serving private and commercial customers in the Greater Copenhagen area. The acquisition marks InstallatørGruppen’s 44th acquisition in Denmark, bringing the total number of companies across Denmark and Switzerland to 50.

Including one previously announced transaction in Denmark, which is pending regulatory approval, the total number of acquisitions in Denmark will be 45, and the total number of companies across Denmark and Switzerland will increase to 51.

Hjarsø El-teknik was founded by Christian Hjarsø in 2016 and has since grown into a modern, service-oriented electrical contractor with 18 employees. The company carries out all types of electrical work, from service, electrical inspections and switchboard replacement to renovation and energy optimisation. In addition, Hjarsø El-teknik works with solar panels, EV charging stations, smart installations, AI and CTS.

The acquisition strengthens InstallatørGruppen’s position within electrical installation in the western part of Copenhagen and the Greater Copenhagen area and adds a well-functioning service business with high customer satisfaction to the Group.

Hjarsø El-teknik will continue as an independently run company under its current management, consisting of Christian Hjarsø, in line with InstallatørGruppen’s decentralised partnership model.

Peter Frandsen, Country CEO of InstallatørGruppen in Denmark, comments: “Christian Hjarsø has built a modern and well-run electrical company with a strong focus on service and quality – and that is something the customers notice. This is exactly the kind of professional pride and local roots we value in our companies. We look forward to welcoming Christian and his employees to the Group.”

Christian Hjarsø, Owner-Manager of Hjarsø El-teknik, says: “I have built Hjarsø El-teknik on quality craftsmanship and good service, delivered on time and at the agreed price. As part of InstallatørGruppen, we can continue to run the company on our own terms, while benefiting from a strong community and valuable sparring that can take us to the next level. It has been crucial to me that both our culture and our employees can remain as they are.”
