Company Reports Strong Q1 Results

Vodafone Spain is First to Deploy the Next-Generation of TiVo’s Award-Winning User Experience

Remains On Track to Achieve $100 million+ Cost Synergy Target

Declares Second Quarter Cash Dividend of $0.18 per Share

TiVo Corporation (NASDAQ:TIVO) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.

“Our strong Q1 financial results affirm last year’s acquisition that formed the new TiVo,” said Tom Carson, President and CEO of TiVo. Mr. Carson added, “Vodafone Spain’s rollout of our most advanced television experience demonstrates the product leadership and innovation that excited us about the TiVo acquisition and we’re pleased with this deployment. Additionally, the long-term IP agreement with Roku demonstrates the value of the company’s patent portfolios in the OTT space. We are well on the way to fully integrating the two companies’ product lines and continue on schedule to deliver at least $100 million in cost synergies, with 65% coming from actions taken within 12 months of the closing of the transaction.”

Mr. Carson added, “We remain confident in TiVo’s ability to continue to generate substantial positive cash flows. As such, TiVo will pay its second quarter cash dividend of $0.18 per common share in June.”

First Quarter Results

The Company reported first quarter revenue of $206 million, an increase of 74% compared to $118 million in the first quarter of 2016. As expected, revenues were higher than in the comparable period of the prior year due to the acquisition of TiVo Solutions Inc. in the third quarter of 2016, which contributed $85 million in revenues in the current quarter. First quarter 2017 Net loss was $35 million, compared to a Net loss of $18 million for the first quarter of 2016.

On a Non-GAAP basis, first quarter 2017 Non-GAAP Pre-tax Income was $54 million, compared to $32 million in the first quarter of 2016. Estimated cash taxes for the quarter were approximately $6 million. GAAP Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 119 million and Non-GAAP Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding for the first quarter of 2017 were 120 million.

Non-GAAP Pre-tax Income is defined below in the section entitled “Non-GAAP Information.” Reconciliations between GAAP and Non-GAAP amounts are provided in the tables below.

Business Outlook

For fiscal year 2017, the Company expects revenue of $800 million to $835 million, including approximately $30 million of hardware revenues at the mid-point of expectations, with GAAP loss before taxes of $83 million to $68 million and Non-GAAP Pre-tax Income of $200 million to $225 million. The Company now anticipates 49% of its full year revenues in the first half of year and 51% in the second half of the year. In terms of costs, costs include Non-GAAP Cost of hardware revenue of approximately $40 million at the mid-point of expectations. TiVo anticipates it will incur $23 million to $24 million in Cash Taxes based on its 2017 operating expectations. For fiscal year 2017, TiVo expects its GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding to be approximately 121 million and Non-GAAP Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding to be approximately 122 million shares.

Capital Allocation

On April 30, 2017, TiVo’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.18 per common share, to be paid on June 20, 2017, to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 6, 2017. TiVo’s Board believes it can reward its stockholders with a meaningful dividend for the second quarter in a row, while maintaining ample capacity for the company to invest in the business, pursue its long-term growth aspirations, and consider additional capital allocation alternatives such as opportunistic stock repurchases.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

TiVo Corporation provides Non-GAAP information to assist investors in assessing its operations in the way that its management evaluates those operations. Non-GAAP Pre-Tax Income, Non-GAAP Cost of licensing, services and software revenues, Non-GAAP Cost of hardware revenues, Non-GAAP Research and Development Expenses, Non-GAAP Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, Non-GAAP Total OpEx, Non-GAAP Total COGS and OpEx, and Non-GAAP Interest Expense are supplemental measures of the Company's performance that are not required by, and are not determined in accordance with, GAAP. Non-GAAP financial information is not a substitute for any financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Pre-tax Income is defined as GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, as adjusted for the effects of items such as amortization of intangible assets, equity-based compensation, accretion of contingent consideration, amortization or write-off of note issuance costs and discounts on convertible debt and mark-to-market adjustments for interest rate swaps; as well as items which impact comparability that are required to be recorded under GAAP, but that the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results such as restructuring and asset impairment charges, transaction, transition and integration costs, changes in the liability for dissenting shareholders, retention earn-outs payable to former shareholders of acquired businesses, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, expenses in connection with the extinguishment or modification of debt and gains on the sale of strategic investments and changes in franchise tax reserves.

Non-GAAP Cost of licensing, services and software revenues is defined as GAAP cost of licensing, services and software revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, excluding equity-based compensation and transition and integration expenses. Included in Transaction, transition and integration costs in the fourth quarter of 2016 was $10.0 million in expenses for additional guaranteed license payments related to the Company’s over-the-top licensing partnership with Intellectual Ventures. These payments were expensed in the fourth quarter of 2016 as the payments were triggered by the execution of a patent license agreement during the quarter and are not expected to be recoverable from the net direct revenue resulting from the patent license agreement and the related TiVo product partnership. This expense was included in Transaction, transition and integration costs as the patent license agreement was entered into as part of continuing, and broadening, the product relationship with TiVo.

Non-GAAP Cost of hardware revenues is defined as GAAP cost of hardware revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, excluding transition and integration expenses.

Non-GAAP Research and Development Expenses is defined as GAAP research and development expenses excluding equity-based compensation, transition and integration expenses and retention earn-outs payable to former shareholders of acquired businesses.

Non-GAAP Selling, General and Administrative Expenses is defined as GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses excluding equity-based compensation, transaction, transition and integration expenses, retention earn-outs payable to former shareholders of acquired businesses, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration and changes in franchise tax reserves.

Non-GAAP Total OpEx is defined as the sum of GAAP research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and gain on sale of patents excluding equity-based compensation, transaction, transition and integration expenses, retention earn-outs payable to former shareholders of acquired businesses, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration and changes in franchise tax reserves.

Non-GAAP Total COGS and OpEx is defined as GAAP Total Operating costs and expenses, excluding amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and asset impairment charges, equity-based compensation, transaction, transition and integration expenses, retention earn-outs payable to former shareholders of acquired businesses, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration and changes in franchise tax reserves.

Non-GAAP Interest Expense is defined as GAAP interest expense, excluding interest on franchise tax reserves, accretion of contingent consideration, amortization or write-off of issuance costs and discounts on convertible debt plus the reclassification of the current period benefit (cost) of the interest rate swaps from gain (loss) on interest rate swaps.

Cash Taxes are defined as GAAP current income tax expense excluding changes in reserves for unrecognized tax benefits.

Non-GAAP Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding is defined as GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding except for periods of a GAAP loss. In periods of a GAAP loss, GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding are adjusted to include dilutive common share equivalents outstanding that were excluded from GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding because the Company had a loss and therefore these shares would have been anti-dilutive.

The Company's management evaluates and makes decisions about its business operations primarily based on Non-GAAP financial information. Management uses Non-GAAP financial measures as the basis for decision-making as they exclude items management does not consider to be “core costs” or “core proceeds”. For each Non-GAAP financial measure, the adjustment provides management with information about the Company's underlying operating performance that enables a more meaningful comparison to its historical and projected financial performance in different reporting periods. For example, since the Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, management excludes the amortization of intangible assets, transaction, transition and integration costs, changes in the liability for dissenting shareholders, retention earn-outs payable to former shareholders of acquired businesses and changes in contingent consideration from its Non-GAAP financial measures in order to make more consistent and meaningful evaluations of the Company's operating expenses as these items may be significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of acquisitions. Management also excludes the effect of restructuring and asset impairment charges, expenses in connection with the extinguishment or modification of debt and gains on the sale of strategic investments. Management excludes the impact of equity-based compensation to provide meaningful supplemental information that allows investors greater visibility to the underlying performance of our business operations, facilitates comparison of our results with other periods, and may facilitate comparison with the results of other companies in our industry, as well as to provide the Company’s management with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating the Company’s performance over different periods of time. Due to varying valuation techniques, reliance on subjective assumptions and the variety of award types and features that may be in use, we believe that providing Non-GAAP financial measures excluding equity-based compensation allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies. Management excludes the amortization or write-off of note issuance costs and discounts on convertible debt, accretion of contingent consideration and mark-to-market adjustments for interest rate swaps when management evaluates the Company's operating expenses. Management reclassifies the current period benefit (cost) of the interest rate swaps from gain (loss) on interest rate swaps to interest expense in order for Non-GAAP Interest Expense to reflect the effects of the interest rate swaps as these interest rate swaps were entered into to control the effective interest rate the Company pays on its debt.

Management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to help it make decisions, including decisions that affect operating expenses and operating margin. Management believes that making Non-GAAP financial information available to investors, in addition to GAAP financial information, may facilitate more consistent comparisons between the Company's performance over time with the performance of other companies in our industry, which may use similar financial measures to supplement their GAAP financial information.

Management recognizes that these Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, including the fact that management must exercise judgment in determining which types of items to exclude from the Non-GAAP financial information. In addition, as other companies, including companies similar to TiVo Corporation, may calculate their Non-GAAP financial measures differently than the Company calculates its Non-GAAP financial measures, these Non-GAAP financial measures may have limited usefulness to investors when comparing financial performance among companies. Management believes, however, that providing Non-GAAP financial information, in addition to GAAP financial information, facilitates consistent comparison of the Company's financial performance over time. The Company provides Non-GAAP financial information to the investment community, not as an alternative, but as an important supplement to GAAP financial information; to enable investors to evaluate the Company's core operating performance in the same way that management does. Reconciliations for each Non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is provided in the tables below.
