NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
On April 28, 2016, Rovi Corporation ("Rovi") and TiVo Inc. (renamed TiVo Solutions Inc. ("TiVo Solutions")) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) for Rovi to acquire TiVo Solutions in a cash and stock transaction (the "TiVo Acquisition"). Following consummation of the TiVo Acquisition on September 7, 2016 (the "TiVo Acquisition Date"), TiVo Corporation (the "Company" or "TiVo"), a Delaware corporation founded in April 2016 as Titan Technologies Corporation and then a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rovi, owns both Rovi and TiVo Solutions.

On May 9, 2019, the Company announced that its Board of Directors unanimously approved a plan to separate the Product and Intellectual Property Licensing businesses into separately traded public companies (the “TiVo Separation”). The TiVo Separation was expected to be completed through a dividend of newly issued shares of the common stock of a Company subsidiary that would hold the Product business (“ProductCo”), which was targeted for completion by April 2020.
On December 18, 2019, the Company and Xperi Corporation (“Xperi”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Xperi Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which TiVo and Xperi have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Xperi Merger Agreement, to effect an all-stock, merger of equals strategic combination of their respective businesses (the "Xperi Combination"). The board of directors of each of TiVo and Xperi have approved the Xperi Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Xperi Combination is subject to certain customary approvals, including the approval of shareholders of TiVo and Xperi, and is expected to be completed by June 30, 2020.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are considered necessary to present fairly the results for the periods presented.
The information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto and other disclosures contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2020, for any future year, or for any other future interim period.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of TiVo Corporation and subsidiaries and affiliates in which the Company has a controlling financial interest after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures as of the date of the financial statements and the results of operations for the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, long-lived asset impairment, including goodwill and intangible assets, equity-based compensation and income taxes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The recent outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019, or COVID-19, which has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a “public health emergency of international concern,” is impacting worldwide economic activity. As a public health epidemic, COVID-19 poses the risk that the Company or its workforce, suppliers and other partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to shutdowns that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. The COVID-19 pandemic has recently had adverse impacts on many aspects of the Company's operations, directly and indirectly, including its workforce, consumer behavior, distribution, suppliers and the market generally. For example, in March 2020, the Company announced its workforce would work remotely as a result of the pandemic as it reviewed its processes related to workplace safety, including social distancing and sanitation practices recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As the Company generates the substantial majority of its revenue from pay TV operators and others in the video delivery industry, to date COVID-19 has not had a significant impact on the Company’s revenue. However, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic could cause delays in obtaining new customers and executing renewals and could also impact the Company's consumer business, including sales of TiVo Stream 4K which was recently launched. Further, the global financial markets have experienced increased volatility and have declined since December 31, 2019. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 reflect management's assumptions about the economic environment and the Company's ability to realize certain assets, including long-lived assets, such as goodwill, accounts receivable and investments in other companies. Although the response to the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to be temporary, such conditions in the global financial markets and business activities could lead to further impairment of our long-lived assets, including goodwill, increased credit losses and impairments of investments in other companies.
Management believes the Company's Cash and cash equivalents and anticipated operating cash flow, supplemented with access to capital markets as necessary, are generally sufficient to support its operating businesses, capital expenditures, restructuring activities, interest payments and income tax payments, in addition to investments in future growth opportunities and activities related to the Xperi Combination for at least the next twelve months. The Company is taking steps to manage its resources by reducing and/or deferring capital expenditures, inventory purchases and operating expenses to mitigate the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic may require further actions by the Company to improve its cash position, including but not limited to, implementing employee furloughs and foregoing capital expenditures and other discretionary expenses.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The Company reviews its accounts receivable to identify potential collection issues. A specific allowance for credit losses is recorded when warranted by specific customer circumstances, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing, a deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position or the past due status of a receivable based on its contractual payment terms. If there are subsequent changes in circumstances related to the specific customer, adjustments to recoverability estimates are recorded. For accounts receivable not specifically assessed, including unbilled receivables, an allowance for credit losses is recorded using the immediate reversion methodology for forecasting expected losses based on historical loss experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability and other factors. Accounts receivable deemed uncollectible are charged off when collection efforts have been exhausted.
Inventory
Inventories consist primarily of finished DVRs and accessories and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on an aggregate basis. Cost is computed using standard cost, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Adjustments to reduce the carrying amount of inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value are made, if required, for excess or obsolete goods, which includes a review of, among other factors, demand requirements and market conditions. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, substantially all inventory is comprised of finished goods.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of the net assets of an acquired business. The recoverability of goodwill is assessed at the reporting unit level, which is either the operating segment or one level below. Goodwill is evaluated for potential impairment annually, as of the beginning of the fourth quarter, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate its carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Qualitative factors are first assessed to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, based on the qualitative assessment, it is considered more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative impairment test is performed. In the quantitative impairment test, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying amount.
The fair value of the Product reporting unit and the Intellectual Property Licensing reporting unit is estimated using an income approach. Under the income approach, the fair value of a reporting unit is estimated based on the present value of future cash flows and considers projected revenue growth rates, future operating margins, income tax rates and economic and market conditions, as well as risk-adjusted discount rates. The carrying amount of a reporting unit is determined by assigning assets and liabilities, including goodwill and intangible assets, to the reporting unit. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not impaired. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss equal to the difference is recognized.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Standards Adopted in 2020
In August 2018, the FASB modified the requirements for capitalizing costs incurred to implement a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The modified requirements were intended to align the cost capitalization requirements for hosting arrangements with the cost capitalization requirements for internal-use software. The Company adopted the modified requirements on January 1, 2020 using the retrospective transition approach. On adoption, the Company reclassified $0.5 million of net capitalized costs that were incurred to implement a hosting arrangement from Property and equipment, net to Other assets.
In June 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance that requires entities to use a current expected credit loss model to measure credit-related impairments for financial instruments held at amortized cost. The current expected credit loss model is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability. Current expected credit losses, and subsequent adjustments, represent an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses that are recorded as an allowance deducted from the amortized cost of the financial instrument. The updated guidance also amends the other-than-temporary impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities by requiring the recognition of impairments for credit-related losses through an allowance and eliminating the length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position as a consideration in the determination of whether a credit loss exists. The Company adopted the amended credit loss guidance on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective transition approach. On adoption, the Company recognized a cumulative effect adjustment, net of tax effects, that increased both the Accumulated deficit and the allowance for credit losses by $1.5 million as presented in Note 3, primarily related to establishing an allowance for credit losses on contract assets for which revenue has been recognized in excess of the amount billed to the customer. Results for the periods beginning after December 31, 2019 are presented under the amended credit loss guidance, while prior period amounts were not restated and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s previous allowance for doubtful accounts policies.
Standards Pending Adoption
In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to general principles, clarifying requirements and including amendments to improve consistent application of the guidance. The guidance specifically removes the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items, such as discontinued operations or other comprehensive income. The guidance also requires an entity to recognize a franchise tax that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and to account for any other amounts incurred as a non-income-based tax. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021 using a prospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of application on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Adoption of Amended Credit Loss Guidance
The Company adopted the provisions of the amended credit loss guidance as described in Note 1 using the modified retrospective transition approach on January 1, 2020. As such the amended credit loss guidance was applied to accounts receivable not specifically reserved and contract assets for which revenue has been recognized in excess of the amount billed to the customer as of December 31, 2019. Results for periods beginning after December 31, 2019 are presented under the amended credit loss guidance, while prior period amounts were not restated and continue to be reported in accordance with the previous allowance for doubtful accounts policies.

Contract Balances
Contract assets primarily consist of revenue recognized in excess of the amount billed to the customer, limited to net realizable value and deferred engineering costs for significant software customization or modification and set-up services to the extent deemed recoverable. Substantially all unbilled amounts are expected to be invoiced to the customer within the next 12
months. Contract assets also include the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, principally sales commissions when the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission. Contract assets were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows (in thousands):

No impairment losses were recognized with respect to contract assets for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
Contract liabilities are mainly comprised of unearned revenue related to consumer lifetime subscriptions for the TiVo service, multi-period licensing or cloud-based services and other offerings for which the Company is paid in advance of when control of the promised good or service is transferred to the customer. Unearned revenue also includes amounts related to professional services to be performed in the future. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized $16.1 million of revenue that had been included in Unearned revenue as of December 31, 2019.
As of March 31, 2020, approximately $604.8 million of revenue is expected to be recognized from unsatisfied performance obligations that are primarily related to fixed-fee intellectual property and software-as-a-service agreements, which is expected to be recognized as follows: 24% in the remainder of 2020, 22% in 2021, 16% in 2022, 14% in 2023, 12% in 2024 and 12% thereafter.
(4) Investments and Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Hierarchy
The Company uses valuation techniques that are based on observable and unobservable inputs to measure fair value. Observable inputs are developed using publicly available information and reflect the assumptions market participants would use, while unobservable inputs are developed using the best information available about the assumptions market participants would use. Fair value measurements are classified in a hierarchy that gives the highest priority to observable inputs and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities are classified in a fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety:
|
|
•
|
Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
•
|
Level 2. Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or market-corroborated inputs.
|
|
|
•
|
Level 3. Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
|
The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
As part of the quantitative interim goodwill impairment test performed as of March 31, 2020, the Product and Intellectual Property Licensing reporting units were measured at fair value, resulting in a Goodwill impairment charge of $171.6 million. The unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair value of the Product and Intellectual Property Licensing reporting units include projected revenue growth rates, future operating margins and risk-adjusted discount rates, and, accordingly, these measurements would be classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Goodwill impairment charge and the valuation techniques used to estimate reporting unit fair values are more fully described in Note 1 and Note 5.
Valuation Techniques
The fair value of marketable securities is estimated using observable market-corroborated inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or independent pricing vendors, obtained from a third-party pricing service.
The fair value of interest rate swaps is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that considers the expected future cash flows of each interest rate swap. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swap, including the remaining period to maturity, and uses market-corroborated inputs, including forward interest rate curves and implied interest rate volatilities. The fair value of an interest rate swap is estimated by netting the discounted future fixed cash payments against the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are estimated based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from forward interest rate curves. The fair value of an interest rate swap also incorporates credit valuation
adjustments to reflect the nonperformance risk of the Company and the respective counterparty. In adjusting the fair value of its interest rate swaps for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company considers the effect of its master netting agreements.

Goodwill at each reporting unit is evaluated for potential impairment annually, as of the beginning of the fourth quarter, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. The process of evaluating goodwill for potential impairment is subjective and requires significant estimates, assumptions and
judgments particularly related to the identification of reporting units, the assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units
and estimating the fair value of each reporting unit.
Due to significant and sustained decline in the trading price of TiVo's common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2020, management concluded sufficient indicators of potential impairment were identified and that it was more-likely-than-not that goodwill was impaired and that a quantitative impairment test should be performed as of March 31, 2020 for the Product and Intellectual Property Licensing reporting units. Although the long-range forecasts for the Product and Intellectual Property Licensing reporting units did not materially change from those used in performing the quantitative impairment test as of December 31, 2019, the fair value decreased due to the significant and sustained decline in the trading price of TiVo's common stock. Based on this decline in fair value, a Goodwill impairment charge of $171.6 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020, of which $76.1 million related to the Product reporting unit and $95.5 million related to the Intellectual Property Licensing reporting unit.

2019 Transformation Plan
In connection with its May 2019 announcement of the TiVo Separation, the Company initiated certain activities to transform its business operations (the "2019 Transformation Plan"). As a result of the 2019 Transformation Plan, the Company is reducing headcount, moving certain positions to lower cost locations, rationalizing facilities and legal entities and terminating certain leases and other contracts. Restructuring activities related to the 2019 Transformation Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were as follows (in thousands):

The process of completing the TiVo Separation and the Xperi Combination has been, and is expected to continue to be, time-consuming and involve significant costs and expenses. In addition to the restructuring costs associated with the 2019 Transformation Plan, the Company also recorded $4.0 million of Merger, separation and transformation costs that do not qualify as restructuring expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2020. These costs are primarily Selling, general and administrative costs and consist of employee-related costs, costs to establish certain stand-alone functions and information technology systems and other one-time transaction-related costs, including investment banking and consulting fees and other incremental costs directly associated with the TiVo Separation or the Xperi Combination.
Profit Improvement Plan
In February 2018, the Company announced its intention to explore strategic alternatives. In connection with exploring strategic alternatives, the Company initiated certain cost saving actions (the "Profit Improvement Plan"). As a result of the Profit Improvement Plan, the Company moved certain positions to lower cost locations, eliminated layers of management and rationalized facilities resulting in severance costs and the termination of certain leases and other contracts. Restructuring activities related to the Profit Improvement Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were as follows (in thousands):

2020 Convertible Notes
Rovi issued $345.0 million in aggregate principal of 0.500% Convertible Senior Notes that mature March 1, 2020 (the “2020 Convertible Notes”) at par pursuant to an Indenture dated March 4, 2015 (as supplemented, the "2015 Indenture"). The 2020 Convertible Notes were sold in a private placement and bear interest at an annual rate of 0.500% payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing September 1, 2015. In connection with the TiVo Acquisition, TiVo Corporation and Rovi entered into a supplemental indenture under which TiVo Corporation became a guarantor of the 2020 Convertible Notes and the notes became convertible into TiVo Corporation common stock.
In June 2019, the Company repurchased $50.0 million of outstanding principal of the 2020 Convertible Notes for $49.4 million. The Company allocated $48.4 million of the repurchase price to the liability component and the remaining $1.0 million to the equity component of the 2020 Convertible Notes. The Company accounted for the repurchase as a partial debt extinguishment and recognized a Loss on debt extinguishment of $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 from writing off unamortized debt discount and issuance costs related to the repurchase. The Company repaid the outstanding principal of $295.0 million on the maturity of the 2020 Convertible Notes on March 1, 2020.
TiVo Corporation separately accounted for the liability and equity components of the 2020 Convertible Notes. The initial carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by estimating the value of the 2020 Convertible Notes using TiVo Corporation’s estimated non-convertible borrowing rate of 4.75% at the time the instrument was issued. The carrying amount of the equity component, representing the value of the conversion option, was determined by deducting the liability component from the principal of the 2020 Convertible Notes. The difference between the principal of the 2020 Convertible Notes and the liability component is considered a debt discount which is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected term of the 2020 Convertible Notes. The equity component of the 2020 Convertible Notes was recorded as a component of Additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will not be remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

Purchased Call Options and Sold Warrants related to the 2020 Convertible Notes
Concurrent with the issuance of the 2020 Convertible Notes in 2015, Rovi purchased call options with respect to its common stock. The call options gave TiVo Corporation the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to 11.9 million shares of TiVo Corporation's common stock at an exercise price of $28.9044 per share, which corresponded to the initial conversion price of the 2020 Convertible Notes, and were exercisable by TiVo Corporation on conversion of the 2020 Convertible Notes. The exercise price was subject to adjustment, including as a result of dividends paid by TiVo Corporation. As of December 31, 2019, the call options gave TiVo Corporation the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to 11.7 million shares of TiVo Corporation's common stock at an exercise price of $25.1668 per share. The call options were intended to reduce the potential dilution from conversion of the 2020 Convertible Notes. The purchased call options were separate transactions from the 2020 Convertible Notes and holders of the 2020 Convertible Notes did not have any rights with respect to the purchased call options. The call options expired on March 1, 2020.
Concurrent with the issuance of the 2020 Convertible Notes in 2015, Rovi sold warrants that provide the holder of the warrant the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to 11.9 million shares of TiVo Corporation common stock at an exercise price of $40.1450 per share. The exercise price is subject to adjustment, including as a result of dividends paid by TiVo Corporation. As of March 31, 2020, 13.0 million warrants were outstanding with an exercise price of $34.9541 per share. The warrants are exercisable beginning June 1, 2020 and can be settled in cash or shares at TiVo Corporation's election. The warrants also start expiring on June 1, 2020. The warrants were entered into in order to offset the cost of the purchased call options. The warrants are separate transactions from the 2020 Convertible Notes and holders of the 2020 Convertible Notes do not have any rights with respect to the warrants.
2021 Convertible Notes
TiVo Solutions issued $230.0 million in aggregate principal of 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes that mature October 1, 2021 (the "2021 Convertible Notes") at par pursuant to an Indenture dated September 22, 2014 (as supplemented, "the 2014 Indenture"). The 2021 Convertible Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 2.0%, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing April 2015. On October 12, 2016, TiVo Solutions repaid $229.95 million of the par value of the 2021 Convertible Notes.
The 2021 Convertible Notes were convertible at an initial conversion rate of 56.1073 shares of TiVo Solutions common stock per $1,000 principal of notes, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of $17.8230 per share of TiVo Solutions common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to adjustment pursuant to the 2014 Indenture, including as a result of dividends paid by TiVo Corporation. As of March 31, 2020, the 2021 Convertible Notes are convertible at a conversion rate of 24.8196 shares of TiVo Corporation common stock per $1,000 principal of notes and $154.30 per $1,000 principal of notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of $34.0738 per share of TiVo Corporation common stock.
TiVo Solutions can settle the 2021 Convertible Notes in cash, shares of common stock, or any combination thereof pursuant to the 2014 Indenture. Subject to certain exceptions, holders may require TiVo Solutions to repurchase, for cash, all or part of their 2021 Convertible Notes upon a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the 2014 Indenture) at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Convertible Notes being repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date” (as defined in the 2014 Indenture). In addition, on a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the 2014 Indenture) prior to the maturity date of the 2021 Convertible Notes, TiVo Solutions will, in some cases, increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its 2021 Convertible Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
2019 Term Loan Facility and Revolving Loan Credit Agreement
On November 22, 2019, the Company, as borrower, and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, as guarantors (together with the Company, collectively, the “Loan Parties”), entered into (i) a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “2019 Term Loan Facility”), with the lenders party thereto and HPS Investment Partners, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent and (ii) an ABL Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Revolving Loan Credit Agreement” and, together with the 2019 Term Loan Facility, the “2019 Credit Agreements”), with the lenders party thereto, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-collateral agent.
Under the 2019 Term Loan Facility, the Company borrowed $715.0 million, which matures on November 22, 2024. Loans under the 2019 Term Loan Facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at an interest rate equal to either (a) the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), plus (i) if TiVo’s Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2019 Term Loan Facility) is greater than or equal to 3.50:1.00, 5.75%, (ii) if TiVo’s Total Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 3.00:1.00 but less than 3.50:100, 5.50%, or (iii) if TiVo’s Total Leverage Ratio is less than 3.00:1.00, 5.25%, in each case, subject to a 1.00% LIBOR floor or (b) the Base Rate (as defined in the 2019 Term Loan Facility), (i) if TiVo’s Total Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 3.50:1.00, 4.75%, (ii) if TiVo’s Total Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 3.00:1.00 but less than 3.50:100, 4.50%, or (iii) if TiVo’s Total Leverage Ratio is less than 3.00:1.00, 4.25%, in each case, subject to a 2.00% Base Rate floor.
TiVo may voluntarily prepay the 2019 Term Loan Facility at any time subject to (i) a 3.00% prepayment premium if the loans are prepaid on or prior to November 22, 2020 and (ii) a 2.00% prepayment premium if the loans are prepaid on or prior to November 22, 2021. TiVo is required to make mandatory prepayments with (i) net cash proceeds from certain asset sales, (ii) net insurance or condemnation proceeds, (iii) net cash proceeds from issuances of debt (other than permitted debt), (iv) beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, 50% of TiVo’s Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the 2019 Term Loan Facility), (v) extraordinary receipts and (vi) certain net litigation proceeds, in each case, subject to certain exceptions. In the event the Xperi Combination is completed on or prior to November 22, 2020, TiVo would be required to repay the then-outstanding principal of the 2019 Term Loan Facility at par plus a 3.00% prepayment premium.
On March 31, 2020, TiVo was required to make a payment equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the 2019 Term Loan Facility. Thereafter, quarterly installments in an amount equal to 2.50% of the original principal amount of the 2019 Term Loan Facility are due, with any remaining balance payable on the final maturity date of the 2019 Term Loan Facility.
The Company also entered into a $60.0 million Revolving Loan Credit Facility as part of the 2019 Credit Agreements, which expires on March 31, 2021. Availability of the Revolving Loan Credit Facility is based upon a borrowing base formula and periodic borrowing base certifications valuing certain of the Loan Parties’ accounts receivable as reduced by certain reserves, if any. There were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loan Credit Facility at any time during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or the year ended December 31, 2019. Loans under the Revolving Loan Credit Facility bear interest, at TiVo’s option, at a rate equal to either (a) LIBOR, plus (i) if the average daily Specified Excess Availability (as defined in the Revolving Loan Credit Agreement) is greater than 66.67%, 1.50%, (ii) if the average daily Specified Excess Availability is greater than 33.33% but less than or equal to 66.66%, 1.75%, or (iii) if the average daily Specified Excess Availability is less than or equal to 33.33%, 2.00%, in each case, subject to a 0.00% LIBOR floor or (b) the Base Rate (as defined in the Revolving Loan Credit Agreement), (i) if the average daily Specified Excess Availability is greater than 66.67%, 0.50%, (ii) if the average daily Specified Excess Availability is greater than 33.33% but less than or equal to 66.66%, 0.75%, or (iii) if the average daily Specified Excess Availability is less than or equal to 33.33%, 1.00%, in each case, subject to a 1.00% Base Rate floor.
Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed until March 31, 2021, when all outstanding amounts must be repaid.
The 2019 Credit Agreements contain customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, including, among other things, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers, dispositions, prepayment of other indebtedness, and dividends and other distributions. The 2019 Credit Agreements are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets.
Financing for the Xperi Combination
In connection with the execution of the Xperi Merger Agreement, TiVo and Xperi obtained a debt commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”), dated December 18, 2019, with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), BofA Securities, Inc. and Royal Bank of Canada (“Royal Bank”), pursuant to which, Bank of America and Royal Bank have committed to
provide a senior secured first lien term loan B facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1,100 million (the “Debt Financing”). On January 3, 2020, TiVo, Xperi, Bank of America, Royal Bank and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) entered into a supplement to the Commitment Letter to add Barclays as an additional initial lender and an additional joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner and to reallocate a portion of the debt commitments of Bank of America and Royal Bank under the Commitment Letter to Barclays. The proceeds from the Debt Financing may be used (i) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger and the related transactions, (ii) to finance the refinancing of certain existing indebtedness of TiVo and Xperi, and (iii) to the extent of any remaining amounts, for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Interest Rate Swaps
The Company issues long-term debt denominated in U.S. dollars based on market conditions at the time of financing and may enter into interest rate swaps to achieve a primarily fixed interest rate. Alternatively, the Company may choose not to enter into an interest rate swap or may terminate a previously executed interest rate swap if it believes a larger proportion of floating-rate debt would be beneficial. The Company has not designated any of its interest rate swaps as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company records interest rate swaps in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as Loss on interest rate swaps in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amounts are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets after considering the right of offset based on its master netting agreements. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a loss of $5.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, from adjusting its interest rate swaps to fair value.

(8) Leases
Lease Details
The Company has operating leases for corporate offices, data centers and certain equipment. As of March 31, 2020, the Company's leases have remaining lease terms of 3 months to 9 years and the Company has an option to terminate certain leases within the next 6 years. Additionally, certain leases include options to extend the lease term for up to 10 years. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The Company subleases certain real estate to third parties. The sublease portfolio consists of operating leases for previously exited office space. Certain subleases include variable payments for operating costs. The subleases are generally co-terminus with the head lease, or shorter. Subleases do not include any residual value guarantees or restrictions or covenants imposed by the leases. Income from subleases is recognized as a reduction to Selling, general and administrative expenses.

(9) Contingencies
Guaranteed Minimum Purchase Obligation
On December 31, 2019, the Company entered into a contract requiring the Company to generate a minimum number of Qualified Referred Subscribers (as defined in the contract) over a 30 month period. In the event that the aggregate number of Qualified Referred Subscribers generated by the Company within the specified time period is less than the minimum guaranteed subscribers, the Company is required to pay an amount equal to the shortfall between the number of Qualified Referred Subscribers generated by the Company and the required minimum multiplied by a per Qualified Referred Subscribers fee, up to a maximum of $5.0 million. As of March 31, 2020, no amounts were accrued in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to this contract as the Company believes it will be able to generate the minimum number of Qualified Referred Subscribers within the original 30 month period.
Inventory Purchase Commitment
The Company uses a contract manufacturer to provide manufacturing services for its products. During the normal course of business, in order to manage manufacturing lead times and help ensure adequate supply, the Company enters into agreements its contract manufacturer that either allow them to procure inventory based on criteria as defined by the Company or that establish the parameters defining the Company’s requirements. A significant portion of the Company’s purchase commitments arising from these agreements consist of firm, non-cancelable and unconditional purchase commitments. In certain instances, these agreements allow the Company the option to cancel, reschedule or adjust the Company’s requirements based on its business needs prior to firm orders being placed. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had total purchase commitments for inventory of $6.4 million, of which $1.2 million was accrued in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Company provides indemnifications of varying scopes and amounts to certain of its licensees against claims made by third parties arising out of the use and / or incorporation of the Company's products, intellectual property, services and / or technologies into the licensees' products and services. TiVo Solutions has also indemnified certain customers and business partners for, among other things, the licensing of its products, the sale of its digital video recorders ("DVRs"), and the provision of engineering and consulting services. The Company’s obligation under its indemnification agreements with customer and business partners would arise in the event a third party filed a claim against one of the parties that was covered by the Company’s indemnification. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company may indemnify the other party for certain losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with various types of claims, which may include, without limitation, intellectual property infringement, advertising and consumer disclosure laws, certain tax liabilities, negligence and intentional acts in the performance of services and violations of laws.
In some cases, the Company may receive tenders of defense and indemnity arising from products, intellectual property services and / or technologies that are no longer provided by the Company due to having divested certain assets, but which were previously licensed or provided by the Company.
The term of the Company's indemnification obligations is generally perpetual. The Company's indemnification obligations are typically limited to the cumulative amount paid to the Company by the licensee under the license agreement; however, some license agreements, including those with the Company's largest multiple system operator and digital broadcast satellite providers, have larger limits or do not specify a limit on amounts that may be payable under the indemnity arrangements.
The Company cannot reasonably estimate the possible range of losses that may be incurred pursuant to its indemnification obligations, if any. Variables affecting any such assessment include, but are not limited to: the nature of the claim asserted; the relative merits of the claim; the financial ability of the party suing the indemnified party to engage in protracted litigation; the number of parties seeking indemnification; the nature and amount of damages claimed by the party suing the indemnified party; and the willingness of such party to engage in settlement negotiations. Due to the nature of the Company's potential indemnity liability, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements could be materially adversely affected in a particular period by one or more of these indemnities.
Under certain circumstances, TiVo Solutions may seek to recover some or all amounts paid to an indemnified party from its insurers. TiVo Solutions does not have any assets held either as collateral or by third parties that, on the occurrence of an event requiring it to indemnify a customer, could be obtained and liquidated to recover all or a portion of the amounts paid pursuant to its indemnification obligations.
Legal Proceedings
The Company may be involved in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings, including intellectual property, commercial, securities and employment matters that arise in the normal course of business. The Company accrues a liability when management believes information available prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates it is probable a loss has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company adjusts its accruals to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.
The Company believes it has recorded adequate provisions for any such lawsuits, claims and proceedings and, as of March 31, 2020, it was not reasonably possible that a material loss had been incurred in excess of the amounts recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on its experience, the Company believes that damage amounts claimed in these matters are not meaningful indicators of potential liability. Some of the matters pending against the Company involve potential compensatory, punitive or treble damage claims or sanctions, that, if granted, could require the Company to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that could have a material adverse effect on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the ultimate outcome of the ongoing matters cannot be predicted with certainty. While litigation is inherently unpredictable, the Company believes it has valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against it. Nevertheless, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements could be materially adversely affected in a particular period by the resolution of one or more of these contingencies.
(10) Stockholders' Equity
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period, except for periods of a loss from continuing operations. In periods of a loss from continuing operations, no common share equivalents are included in Diluted EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
The number of shares used to calculate Basic and Diluted EPS were as follows (in thousands):

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 1.1 million and 0.3 million weighted average performance-based restricted awards, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of Diluted EPS as the performance metric had yet to be achieved.
Effect of the 2020 Convertible Notes and related transactions on Diluted EPS
In periods when the Company reports income from continuing operations, the dilutive effect of additional shares of common stock that may be issued on conversion of the 2020 Convertible Notes, which were repaid in March 2020, were included in the calculation of Diluted EPS if the price of the Company’s common stock exceeded the conversion price. The 2020 Convertible Notes had no impact on Diluted EPS until the price of the Company's common stock exceeded the conversion price of $25.1668 per share because the principal of the 2020 Convertible Notes was required to be settled in cash.
The 2020 Convertible Notes would be dilutive if the Company’s common stock closed at or above $25.1668 per share. However, on conversion, no economic dilution was expected from the 2020 Convertible Notes as the exercise of call options purchased by the Company with respect to its common stock described in Note 7 was expected to eliminate any potential dilution from the 2020 Convertible Notes that would have otherwise occurred. The call options, which expired in March 2020, were always excluded from the calculation of Diluted EPS as they were anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.
The warrants sold by the Company with respect to its common stock in connection with the 2020 Convertible Notes described in Note 7 have an effect on Diluted EPS when the Company’s share price exceeds the warrant’s strike price of $34.9541 per share. As the price of the Company’s common stock increases above the warrant strike price, additional dilution would occur.
Share Repurchase Program
On February 14, 2017, TiVo Corporation's Board of Directors approved an increase to the share repurchase program authorization to $150.0 million. The February 2017 authorization includes amounts which were outstanding under previously authorized share repurchase programs. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, no shares were repurchased under the share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $150.0 million of share repurchase authorization remaining. The February 2017 authorization is subject to restrictions included in the Xperi Merger Agreement, and the Company does not intend to make purchases under the February 2017 authorization during the pendency thereof.
The Company issues restricted stock and restricted stock units (collectively, "restricted awards") as part of the equity-based compensation plans described in Note 11. For restricted awards, shares are withheld to satisfy required withholding taxes at the vesting date. Shares withheld to satisfy required withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted awards are treated as common stock repurchases in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements because they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued on vesting. However, these withheld shares are not included in common stock repurchases under the Company's authorized share repurchase plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company withheld 0.1 million and 0.1 million shares of common stock to satisfy $0.6 million and $1.4 million of required withholding taxes, respectively.
Dividends
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company declared and paid dividends of $0.18 per share, for an aggregate cash payment of $22.5 million. No dividends were declared or paid during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The capacity to pay dividends in the future depends on many factors, including the Company's financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, capital structure, industry practice and other business conditions that the Board of Directors considers relevant. In addition, the agreements governing the Company's debt and the Xperi Merger Agreement restrict the payment of dividends.
Section 382 Transfer Restrictions
On December 18, 2019 (the “Rights Dividend Declaration Date”), upon entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization with Xperi Corporation, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Section 382 rights plan (the “Section 382 Rights Plan”), and declared a dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on January 6, 2020. The Board of Directors adopted the Section 382 Rights Plan in an effort to protect stockholder value by attempting to protect against a possible limitation on the Company’s ability to use its net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”). If the Company experiences an “ownership change,”
as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Company’s ability to fully utilize the NOLs on an annual basis will be substantially limited, and the timing of the usage of the NOLs could be substantially delayed, which could therefore significantly impair the value of those benefits. The Section 382 Rights Plan is intended to act as a deterrent to any person (an “Acquiring Person”) acquiring (together with all affiliates and associates of such person) beneficial ownership of 4.95% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code, without the approval of the Board of Directors. Stockholders who beneficially own 4.95% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of the Rights Dividend Declaration Date will not be deemed to be an Acquiring Person, but such person will be deemed an Acquiring Person if such person (together with all affiliates and associates of such person) becomes the beneficial owner of securities representing a percentage of the Company’s common stock that exceeds by 0.5% or more than the lowest percentage of beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock that such person had at any time since the Rights Dividend Declaration Date. The description and terms of the rights are set forth in a Section 382 Rights Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2019, by and between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as Rights Agent.
On the Rights Dividend Declaration Date, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of one right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock to the Company’s stockholders of record as of December 18, 2019. Subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Section 382 Rights Agreement, if the Rights become exercisable, each Right would initially represent the right to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, for a purchase price of $35 per Right. If issued, each fractional share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock would give the stockholder approximately the same dividend, voting and liquidation rights as does one share of the Company’s common stock. However, prior to exercise, a Right does not give its holder any rights as a stockholder of TiVo, including any dividend, voting or liquidation rights.
(11) Equity-based Compensation
Restricted Awards and Stock Options
The Company grants equity-based compensation awards from the Rovi 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Rovi 2008 Plan”). The Rovi 2008 Plan permits the grant of restricted awards, stock options and similar types of equity awards to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. Restricted stock is considered outstanding at the time of grant as holders are entitled to voting rights. Restricted awards are generally subject to a four-year graded vesting period, with annual vesting. Stock options generally have a four-year vesting period, with one quarter of the grant vesting on the first anniversary of the grant, followed by monthly vesting thereafter. Stock options generally have a contractual term of seven years. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had 36.7 million shares of common stock reserved and 12.3 million shares of common stock available for issuance under the Rovi 2008 Plan.
On September 7, 2016, the Company assumed the TiVo Inc. Amended and Restated 2008 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “TiVo 2008 Plan”). The Company amended and restated the TiVo 2008 Plan effective as of the closing of the TiVo Acquisition to be the TiVo Corporation Titan Equity Incentive Award Plan for purposes of awards granted following the TiVo Acquisition Date. Restricted stock is considered outstanding at the time of grant as holders are entitled to voting rights. Restricted awards assumed from the TiVo 2008 Plan are generally subject to a three- year graded vesting period, with semi-annual vesting. Restricted awards issued by the Company from the TiVo 2008 Plan are generally subject to a four-year graded vesting period, with annual vesting. Stock options assumed from the TiVo 2008 Plan generally have a four-year vesting period with one quarter of the grant vesting on the first anniversary of the grant, followed by monthly vesting thereafter. Stock options assumed from the TiVo 2008 Plan generally have a contractual term of seven years. As of March 31, 2020, there were 3.9 million shares of common stock reserved for future issuance as outstanding awards vest under the TiVo 2008 Plan. The TiVo 2008 Plan expired in August 2018, and no further shares of common stock are available for future grant.
The Company also grants performance-based restricted stock units to certain of its senior officers for three-year performance periods. Vesting in the performance-based restricted stock units is subject to a market condition, as well as a service condition. Depending on the level of achievement, the maximum number of shares that could be issued on vesting generally could be up to 200% of the target number of performance-based restricted stock units granted. For awards subject to a market vesting condition, the fair value per award is fixed at the grant date and the amount of compensation expense is not adjusted during the performance period regardless of changes in the level of achievement of the market condition.
In June 2019, the Company granted 0.6 million performance-based restricted stock units to certain of its senior officers with vesting conditioned on completion of a change-in-control event as defined in the grant agreement, as well as a service condition. For these awards, the fair value per award is estimated as the price of the Company's common stock at the close of trading on the date of grant, less the present value of dividends expected to be paid during the vesting period. However, no
compensation expense is recognized for these awards until the change-in-control event occurs, at which time the grant date fair value of $3.8 million, adjusted for any forfeitures, would be recognized as compensation expense.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company’s 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount through payroll deductions. The ESPP consists of up to four consecutive six-month purchase periods within a twenty-four-month offering period. Employees purchase shares each purchase period at the lower of 85% of the market value of the Company’s common stock at either the beginning of the offering period or the end of the purchase period. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had 2.5 million shares of common stock reserved and 2.5 million shares available for issuance under the ESPP.
Valuation Techniques and Assumptions
As new grants of restricted awards are not eligible for dividend protection, the fair value of restricted awards subject to service conditions is estimated as the price of the Company's common stock at the close of trading on the date of grant, less the present value of dividends expected to be paid during the vesting period.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula to estimate the fair value of ESPP shares. The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula uses complex and subjective inputs, such as the expected volatility of the Company's common stock over the expected term of the grant and projected employee exercise behavior. Expected volatility is estimated using a combination of historical volatility and implied volatility derived from publicly-traded options on the Company's common stock. The expected term is estimated by calculating the period the award is expected to be outstanding based on historical experience and the terms of the grant. The risk-free interest rate is estimated based on the yield of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with remaining terms similar to the expected term at the grant date. The Company assumes a constant dividend yield commensurate with the dividend yield on the grant date.
Weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of equity-based compensation awards granted during the period were as follows:

The number of awards expected to vest during the requisite service period is estimated at the time of grant using historical data and equity-based compensation is only recognized for awards for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered for awards subject to service or performance vesting conditions. Forfeiture estimates are revised during the requisite service period and the effect of changes in the number of awards expected to vest during the requisite service period is recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period estimates are revised.

As of March 31, 2020, there was $45.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested equity-based awards which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.4 years. The unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, excludes $3.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to performance-based restricted stock units with vesting conditioned on completion of a change-in-control event.

The aggregate fair value of restricted awards vested during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1.7 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
(12) Income Taxes
Due to the fact that the Company has significant net operating loss carryforwards and has recorded a valuation allowance against a significant portion of its deferred tax assets, foreign withholding taxes are generally the primary driver of income tax expense and the primary reason for cash payments of income taxes.

The Company believes it has provided adequate reserves for all tax deficiencies or reductions in tax benefits that could result from U.S. federal, state and foreign tax audits. The Company regularly assesses the potential outcomes of these audits in order to determine the appropriateness of its tax positions. Adjustments to accruals for unrecognized tax benefits are made to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular income tax audit. However, income tax audits are inherently unpredictable and there can be no assurance the Company will accurately predict the outcome of these audits. The amounts ultimately paid on resolution of an audit could be materially different from the amounts previously recognized, and therefore the resolution of one or more of these uncertainties in any particular period could have a material adverse impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") was enacted. The CARES Act is an emergency economic stimulus package in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which among other things, contains numerous income tax provisions. Some of these tax provisions are expected to be effective retroactively for years ending before the date of enactment. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the CARES Act on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is not expected to be material.
(13) Segment Information
Reportable segments are identified based on the Company's organizational structure and information reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to evaluate performance and allocate resources. The Company's operations are organized into two reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Product and Intellectual Property Licensing.
The Product segment consists primarily of licensing Company-developed user experience products and services to multi-channel video service providers and consumer electronics ("CE") manufacturers, licensing the TiVo service and selling TiVo-enabled devices, licensing metadata and advanced search and recommendation and viewership data, as well as sponsored discovery and in-guide advertising. We group our Product segment into three verticals based on the products delivered to our customer: Platform Solutions; Software and Services; and Other. Platform Solutions includes licensing Company-developed UX products, the TiVo service and selling TiVo-enabled devices. Software and Services includes licensing our metadata and advanced media and advertising solutions, including viewership data, sponsored discovery and in-guide advertising. Other includes legacy Analog Content Protection ("ACP"), VCR Plus+ and media recognition products.
The Intellectual Property Licensing segment consists primarily of licensing our patent portfolio to U.S. and international pay television ("TV") providers (directly and through their suppliers), mobile device manufacturers, CE manufacturers and OTT video providers. Our broad portfolio of licensable technology patents covers many aspects of content discovery, DVR, VOD, OTT experiences, multi-screen functionality and personalization, as well as interactive applications and advertising. We group our Intellectual Property Licensing segment into three verticals based primarily on the business of our customer: US Pay TV Providers; CE Manufacturers; and New Media, International Pay TV Providers and Other. US Pay TV Providers includes direct and indirect licensing of traditional US Pay TV Providers regardless of the particular distribution technology (e.g., cable, satellite or the internet). CE Manufacturers includes the licensing of our patents to traditional CE manufacturers. New Media, International Pay TV Providers and Other includes licensing to international pay TV providers, virtual service providers, mobile device manufacturers and content and new media companies.
Segment results are derived from the Company's internal management reporting system. The accounting policies used to derive segment results are substantially the same as those used by the consolidated company. Intersegment revenues and expenses have been eliminated from segment financial information as transactions between reportable segments are excluded from the measure of segment profitability reviewed by the CODM. In addition, certain costs are not allocated to the segments as they are considered corporate costs. Corporate costs primarily include general and administrative costs such as corporate management, finance, legal and human resources. The CODM uses an Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) measure to evaluate the performance of, and allocate resources to, the segments. Segment balance sheets are not used by the CODM to allocate resources or assess performance.
