Xperi and TiVo Make Progress on the Combination

SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

TiVo Corporation (NASDAQ: TIVO), the company that brings entertainment together, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019.

“The Company continues to execute and reported strong solid financial results in the quarter, delivering revenue and Adjusted EBITDA above the top end of our expectations," said Dave Shull, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The Company continues to drive initiatives that will deliver long-term profitable growth. In our IP business, we added a multi-year patent license agreement with a significant social media customer. We unveiled TiVo Stream 4K, a unique product for the streaming wars, to a phenomenal set of press reviews at CES in January, receiving multiple 'best of show' awards. In addition, we are making progress toward completing our combination with Xperi and are excited about the prospects for the combined company.”

TiVo Fourth Quarter 2019 Financial Highlights:

  • In December, Xperi Corporation and TiVo announced a definitive agreement to combine in an all-stock transaction; creating a leader in consumer entertainment experiences - both audio and video, and a world-class leader in IP licensing.
  • For 2019, revenue of $668.1 million, was above the top end of our previously-provided estimates range.
  • The Company made progress with our profitability initiatives. Q4 GAAP loss from operations was $209.5 million (income from operations of $7.6 million excluding goodwill impairment). As a result of our focused execution on cost savings, our Q4 Adjusted EBITDA was $61.2 million, an increase of 45% from Q4 2018.

TiVo Fourth Quarter 2019 Business and Recent Operating Highlights:

Product Business

  • In January, we announced the upcoming release of our new product - TiVo Stream 4K: a streaming solution with a launch price of $49.99 that allows consumers to discover and watch what they want, from a single platform.
  • TiVo announced a collection of new content partners for its video network, TiVo+™. An additional 23 new channels will join the current lineup of 26 free streaming channels currently available, bringing the total to 49.
  • The Company continues to expand its Android TV™-based IPTV version of TiVo User Experience 4. The Company now has nine operators who will deploy this solution, up from seven last quarter.

Intellectual Property Licensing Business

  • Added a multi-year patent license agreement with a significant social media customer. This is TiVo’s second major licensee in this emerging space within the last few quarters. This reaffirms the Company’s position that, while the video market will be disrupted by these online social and video platforms, TiVo’s portfolio remains highly relevant.
  • We made progress in Q4 with our renewals. First, we completed a long-term extension with Roku for their streaming platform; providing another proof point of our portfolio’s relevance in the new video consumption landscape. Second, we completed an early extension with Panasonic for their CE business. Lastly, we also renewed a license agreement with a leading Korean broadcasting solution company, extending our coverage of the local Korean service provider market.
  • In addition, we made progress in our OTT licensing program last quarter and also entered into a long-term license with a major U.S.-based OTT service this quarter.
