TiVo Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Double Digit Growth in Revenues, Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA from Prior Quarter

Raising 2019 Expectations for the Second Time

On Track to Separate Product and IP Licensing Businesses into Two Independent Companies

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jul 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

TiVo Corporation (NASDAQ: TIVO) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

“I am excited about the opportunity at TiVo,” said Dave Shull, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Based on my experience with strategic transactions and operational transformations, we are making great progress on the separation of TiVo’s Product and IP Licensing businesses. We remain on track to complete the separation in the first half of 2020. We are also laser-focused on execution and, in the quarter, we delivered strong financial results across a number of metrics. Our Intellectual Property Licensing business had a solid quarter as it benefited from expanding our relationship with Shaw Communications and our first social media customer win. On the Product side, we are streamlining the business and driving operational efficiencies to improve profitability. This leaner Product business is on track to launch innovative products to expand our personalized content discovery and monetization offerings in the second half of 2019.”

TIVO SECOND QUARTER 2019 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Solid sequential revenue growth of 11% to $176.2 million.
