Provides Update on Progress of Strategic Alternatives

Raghu Rau To Remain CEO Until Conclusion of Strategic Process

Three Service Providers Deploying Next-Gen TiVo Experience 4

Expecting Annualized Cost Efficiencies of $25 Million by the End of 2018

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

TiVo Corporation (NASDAQ: TIVO) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

“We delivered a solid second quarter and we continue to stay ahead of our internal plan, including optimizing our costs. Additionally, the CEO transition has gone smoothly and we continue to make progress in our strategic review and have narrowed our focus in terms of the strategic alternatives we are evaluating,” said Raghu Rau, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. “The company has a strong foundation to deliver profitable growth and stockholder value and we remain focused on execution and meeting our customers' needs.”

Mr. Rau added, “I am committed to remain as CEO as long as it takes to drive the strategic process to a logical, successful conclusion that maximizes stockholder value.”

UPDATE ON STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES TO MAXIMIZE VALUE FOR SHAREHOLDERS

As announced in our Q4 2017 earnings release and its related earnings call, TiVo is exploring a range of strategic alternatives to maximize the value of the Company and best deliver value to shareholders. While this review remains in process, progress has been made and the Company’s focus has begun to narrow. An update on the process is as follows:

First, while always open to strategic acquisitions that can deliver stockholder value, TiVo does not believe, at this time, that utilizing capital for a significant acquisition would be the best way to deliver value for shareholders.

Second, the strategic review process has reaffirmed that TiVo has valuable assets and strong market positions in both the product and IP licensing businesses. TiVo remains committed to developing compelling and relevant solutions that can deliver customer value. The Company will continue to invest in offerings aligned with current and emerging market needs.

Third, the Company has learned that potential parties also recognize the strategic value of the product and IP businesses individually. It appears clear that there is a real opportunity in the marketplace for a well scaled, next generation video products business, with good growth potential that revolutionizes how we watch TV and effectively enables monetization of the experience. TiVo’s installed base of 22 million subscribers serves as a strategic asset as we bring a great brand and platform to power the next generation of entertainment experiences and advanced, targeted advertising solutions. Further, with one of the leading portfolios of intellectual property in the linear TV and OTT markets, TiVo also believes there are strategic opportunities for the IP business that will enable the business to continue growing profitably in both existing and adjacent markets.

In the meantime, TiVo continues to develop compelling and relevant solutions aligned with our current customer needs and emerging market opportunities. Additionally, in connection with TiVo’s continued focus on optimizing the business, the Company's previously identified $10 million in additional current year cost improvements are almost all implemented. The Company now expects to produce annualized savings of $25 million by the end of 2018 from these actions.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

TiVo’s management and board are still conducting an in-depth review of its businesses, cost structure and strategic options to maximize shareholder value. Due to the broad range of potential outcomes, the Company is not currently providing financial estimates for fiscal 2018.

CURRENT PERIOD FINANCIAL RESULTS

Informed by the strategic alternatives review process, TiVo is providing detail on the results of operations for its two business segments - Products and Intellectual Property Licensing (“IP Licensing”) - in the body of this earnings release and in its prepared remarks on today’s earnings call.

Additionally, as discussed in detail last quarter, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which superseded the previous revenue recognition requirements on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition approach. The Company’s results for 2017 are reported under the prior standard and results for 2018 are reported under the new standard. While there is no change in either the nature of our business operations or our cash flows, revenue recognition in 2018 is considerably different than in 2017. For instance, in the second quarter of 2018, TiVo recognized approximately $14.0 million less in revenue than it would have under the previous requirements.
