Recently:
- Immersion licensee Samsung began shipping the latest release of their flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S III. In addition to using TouchSense® 3000 software, the Galaxy S III also includes Immersion's Reverb technology. Marketed by Samsung as Auto Haptics, Reverb uses specially designed algorithms to automatically translate audio from an application into haptic effects, creating a more engaging consumer experience.
- Fujitsu announced the world's first smartphone with Immersion HD Haptics. The Raku-Raku F-12D smartphone uses Immersion's TouchSense 5000 embedded control software to control a high-fidelity piezo actuator, creating high quality haptic effects to enhance the Raku-Raku's trademark easy-to-navigate interface.
- Google invited Immersion to participate in their Developer Sandbox at the Google I/O conference. At Google I/O, Immersion demonstrated the latest updates to its Haptic Development Platform, which provides new capabilities and flexibility for third-party developers to incorporate touch feedback into games and applications.
- Daesung incorporated Immersion haptic feedback in its automotive control system design, which was introduced in the 2013 Kia K9 sedan. Daesung selected Immersion's TouchSense force feedback technology to create an adaptive user interface through a rotary knob that dynamically adjusts haptic feedback based on the information available to the user.
- Texas Instruments released two new integrated amplifiers to improve the performance of haptic actuators in mobile devices. The DRV 2665 is the first integrated amplifier for piezo modules that is compliant with Immersion's TouchSense 5000 embedded software, while the DRV 2603 supports devices using Immersion's TouchSense 3000 embedded software with resonant actuators.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Immersion reports all financial information required 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. Immersion discloses this non-GAAP information because it is useful in understanding the company's performance as it excludes non-cash and other special 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 profitability of its business. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures.
