TIVO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
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"), 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. The common stocks of Rovi and TiVo Solutions were de-registered after completion of the TiVo Acquisition.

The Company is a global leader in media and entertainment products that power consumer entertainment experiences and enable its customers to deepen and further monetize their audience relationships. The Company provides a broad set of intellectual property, cloud-based services and set-top box solutions that enable people to find and enjoy online video, television, movies and music entertainment, including content discovery through device embedded and cloud-based interactive program guides (“IPGs”), digital video recorders ("DVRs"), natural language voice and text search, cloud-based recommendations services and our extensive entertainment metadata (i.e., descriptive information, promotional images or other content that describes or relates to television shows, videos, movies, sports, music, books, games or other entertainment content). The Company's integrated platform includes software and cloud-based services that provide an all-in-one approach for navigating a fragmented universe of content by seamlessly combining live, recorded, video-on-demand ("VOD") and over-the-top ("OTT") content into one intuitive user interface with simple universal search, discovery, viewing and recording, to create a unified viewing experience. The Company distributes its products through service provider relationships, integrated into third party devices and directly to retail consumers. The Company also offers data analytics solutions, including advertising and programming promotion optimizers, which enable advanced audience targeting in linear television advertising. Solutions are sold globally to cable, satellite, consumer electronics, entertainment, media and online distribution companies, and, in the United States, we sell a suite of DVR and whole home media products and services directly to retail consumers.
    
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Rovi is the predecessor registrant to TiVo Corporation and therefore, for periods prior to the TiVo Acquisition Date, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Rovi. As used herein, the “Company” refers to Rovi when referring to periods prior to and including the TiVo Acquisition Date and to TiVo Corporation when referring to periods subsequent to the TiVo Acquisition Date. The Company’s results of operations include the operations of TiVo Solutions after the TiVo Acquisition Date. See Note 2 for additional information on the TiVo Acquisition.

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, 2016. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations 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 ending December 31, 2017, for any future year, or for any other future interim period.

The accompanying unaudited 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 at 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.

The TiVo service is enabled through the use of a DVR manufactured by a third-party contract manufacturer. The Company also relies on third-parties with whom it outsources supply-chain activities related to inventory warehousing, order fulfillment, distribution and other direct sales logistics. The Company cannot be sure that these parties will perform their obligations as expected or that any revenue, cost savings or other benefits will be derived from the efforts of these parties. If any of these parties breaches or terminates their agreement with the Company or otherwise fails to perform their obligations in a timely manner, the Company may be delayed or prevented from commercializing its products and services.

In instances where a supply agreement does not exist and suppliers fail to perform their obligations, the Company may be unable to find alternative suppliers or deliver its products and services to its customers on time, if at all. The Company does not have a long-term written supply agreement with Broadcom Corporation, the sole supplier of the system controller for its DVR.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Standards Recently Adopted

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards ("FASB") simplified the goodwill impairment test by eliminating its second step. Pursuant to the simplified test, an entity performs its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company elected to early adopt the simplified test. Application of this guidance on January 1, 2017 did not have an effect on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB simplified certain areas of accounting for stock-based compensation, including accounting for the income tax consequences of stock-based compensation, determining the classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, presenting certain items within the statement of cash flows and introducing an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures of nonvested awards as they occur. Application of this guidance on January 1, 2017 increased the Company's deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance by $70.1 million, resulting in no material effect on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. On adoption, the Company did not change its accounting policy of estimating forfeitures for nonvested awards.


7


In March 2016, the FASB clarified the assessment of whether contingent options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments requires bifurcation as an embedded derivative. The amendments require a contingent option embedded in a debt instrument to be evaluated for possible separate accounting as a derivative instrument without regard to the nature of the exercise contingency. Application of the clarified guidance on January 1, 2017 did not have an effect on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2015, the FASB changed the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value for entities that do not use the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") or retail inventory method. The changes also eliminated the requirement to consider replacement cost or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory for entities that do not use the LIFO or retail inventory method. Application of the changed measurement principle for inventory on January 1, 2017 did not have an effect on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Standards Pending Adoption

In March 2017, the FASB shortened the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. Application of the shortened amortization period is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019 on a modified retrospective basis, with early application permitted. The Company does not expect application of the shortened amortization period to have a material effect on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

In January 2017, the FASB clarified the definition of a business. The clarified guidance provides a more defined framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities constitute a business. The clarified definition is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018 on a prospective basis, with early application permitted. The Company does not expect application of the clarified definition of a business to have a material effect on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

In October 2016, the FASB amended its guidance on the tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. The amended guidance requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amendments are effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018 and is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis. Early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of application on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued clarifying guidance on the presentation of eight specific cash flow issues for which previous guidance was either unclear or not specific. The clarified guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018 and is required to be applied on a retrospective basis. Early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of application on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 collectibility. 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 basis of the financial instrument. The updated guidance also amends the current 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 guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020, and is effective using a modified retrospective approach for application of the current expected credit loss model to financial instruments and a prospective approach for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities. Early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of application on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
    
In March 2016, the FASB provided guidance on the derecognition of prepaid stored-value product liabilities, such as gift cards. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018 and may be applied using a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of application on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard for leases. The new standard generally requires the recognition of financing and operating lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet. For financing leases, a lessee recognizes amortization of the right-of-use asset as an operating expense over the lease term separately from interest on the lease liability. For operating leases, a lessee recognizes its total lease expense as an operating expense over the

8


lease term. The amendments are effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019 using a modified retrospective approach, with early application permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of application on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and expects that its existing operating lease commitments will be recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an amended accounting standard for revenue recognition. The amendments address how revenue is recognized in order to improve comparability between the financial statements of companies applying U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The core principle of the amended standard is for an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments are effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018 and may be applied using a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. The Company expects to initially apply the amendments in the first quarter of 2018 and is evaluating the effect the amendments and transition alternatives will have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

While the Company has not finalized its evaluation of the impact that the amended revenue recognition guidance will have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company expects that revenue from both its fixed-fee and per-unit intellectual property licensees will be impacted. Under the amended revenue recognition standard, the Company may be required to recognize a substantial portion of license fees under a fixed-fee intellectual property license agreement at inception of the agreement, as opposed to recognizing the license fees ratably over the license term, which is its practice in accordance with existing U.S. GAAP. This could impact revenue recognition for all fixed-fee intellectual property license agreements, including certain fixed-fee agreements that license the Company's existing intellectual property portfolio and intellectual property that is added to the Company's portfolio during the term of the license. In addition, in accordance with existing U.S. GAAP, the Company currently recognizes revenue from per-unit royalty licenses with consumer electronic manufacturers and third party IPG providers in the period the licensee reports its sales, which is generally in the quarter after the underlying sales occurred. On adoption of the amended revenue recognition guidance, per-unit royalties are recognized as revenue during the period in which the licensee's sales are estimated to have occurred, which results in an adjustment to revenue when actual amounts are subsequently reported by the Company's licensees. In addition, some deferred revenue recognized in accordance with existing U.S. GAAP could be eliminated as part of the effect of adoption. The Company has not selected a transition approach.

(2) Acquisitions

TiVo Acquisition

On September 7, 2016, Rovi completed its acquisition of TiVo Solutions, a global leader in next-generation video technology and innovative cloud-based software-as-a-service solutions. On the TiVo Acquisition Date, each issued and outstanding share of TiVo Solutions common stock (other than shares of TiVo Solutions common stock held by those TiVo Solutions stockholders who had properly demanded and not waived or withdrawn appraisal rights under Delaware law as further discussed below) automatically converted into the right to receive $2.75 per share in cash and 0.3853 (the “Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of TiVo Corporation common stock. As the employee restricted stock awards, stock options and performance-based restricted stock awards remained outstanding after the TiVo Acquisition Date, employee holders were not eligible for the cash component of the merger consideration and the number of TiVo Corporation restricted stock awards or stock options delivered at the TiVo Acquisition Date was based on an exchange ratio of 0.5186.

TiVo Solutions' results of operations and cash flows have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for periods subsequent to September 7, 2016. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, TiVo Corporation's results include revenue and operating loss from TiVo Solutions of $84.8 million and $9.7 million, respectively.

Preliminary Purchase Price

In November 2016, holders of 9.1 million shares of TiVo Solutions common stock outstanding at the TiVo Acquisition Date who did not vote to approve the TiVo Acquisition filed a petition for appraisal ("Dissenting Holders", and the shares held by such Dissenting Holders, the "Dissenting Shares") in the Delaware Court of Chancery. See Note 10 for additional information about the claims asserted by the Dissenting Holders.

As of December 31, 2016, $79.0 million was included in the aggregate merger consideration based on 9.1 million Dissenting Shares assuming a right to receive 0.3853 shares of TiVo Corporation common stock, or 3.5 million shares of TiVo Corporation common stock. In addition, on the TiVo Acquisition Date, TiVo Corporation paid the cash portion of the merger

consideration related to the Dissenting Shares, which was $2.75 per share, to an account held by the exchange agent in the TiVo Acquisition. As of December 31, 2016, the exchange agent in the TiVo Acquisition was holding $25.3 million in cash, substantially all of which related to the Dissenting Holders.

On March 27, 2017, TiVo Corporation agreed to settle the claims of the Dissenting Holders for $117.0 million, which was paid in cash in April 2017. In connection with the settlement, in March 2017, the exchange agent in the TiVo Acquisition returned $25.1 million in cash related to the Dissenting Holders to TiVo Corporation. As the amount paid to Dissenting Holders resulted from a settlement other than a judgment from the Delaware Court of Chancery, a Litigation settlement loss of $12.9 million was recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Litigation settlement loss represents the settlement amount in excess of the amount due to the Dissenting Holders as merger consideration. The accrued merger consideration is presented in Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. GAAP with Rovi treated as the acquirer of TiVo Solutions for accounting purposes. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase consideration delivered by TiVo Corporation to complete the acquisition was generally allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair value at the TiVo Acquisition Date. TiVo Corporation has made significant estimates and assumptions in determining the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on discussions with TiVo Solutions’ management and TiVo Corporation’s informed insights into the industries in which TiVo Solutions competes. To complete the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their TiVo Acquisition Date fair value, the measurement of the purchase price, the measurement of certain pre-acquisition contingencies and income tax returns for TiVo Solutions for the period prior to the TiVo Acquisition Date must be completed. As a result, as of March 31, 2017, the purchase price and purchase price allocation are preliminary and subject to change.

The final fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may differ materially from the preliminary fair value estimates presented in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and such differences could have a material impact on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and TiVo Corporation’s future results of operations and financial position. Final estimates of fair value are expected to be completed as soon as possible, but no later than one year from the TiVo Acquisition Date.

The unaudited pro forma financial information includes material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the TiVo Acquisition primarily related to a reduction in revenues and costs to adjust TiVo Solutions' historical deferred revenue amortization and deferred technology cost amortization to fair value, the elimination of intercompany revenue as TiVo Solutions purchased products from Rovi, adjustments to the amortization of intangible assets, adjustments for direct and incremental acquisition-related costs and the related tax effects, as well as Rovi's valuation allowance release as a result of the TiVo Acquisition reflected in the historical financial statements. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not include any cost saving synergies from operating efficiencies or the effect of incremental costs incurred from integrating the companies.

(3) Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale

DivX and MainConcept

During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company determined it would pursue selling its DivX and MainConcept businesses. DivX and MainConcept were providers of high-quality video compression-decompression software and a software library that enabled the distribution of content across the internet and through recordable media, in either physical or streamed forms. On March 31, 2014, the Company sold its DivX and MainConcept businesses for $52.5 million in cash, plus up to $22.5 million in additional payments based on the achievement of certain revenue milestones over the three years following the acquisition. In the three years following the acquisition of DivX and MainConcept, no additional payments were received as the revenue milestones were not satisfied.

(6) 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 the 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.
Assets and liabilities reported at fair value on a recurring basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were classified in the fair value hierarchy as follows (in thousands):

Valuation Techniques

The fair value of marketable securities, other than auction rate 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.


14


The fair value of auction rate securities is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis or other type of valuation model. These estimates are highly judgmental and incorporate, among other items, the likelihood of redemption, credit and liquidity spreads, duration, interest rates and the timing and amount of expected future cash flows. These securities are also compared, when possible, to other observable data for securities with characteristics similar to the securities held by the Company.

The fair value of contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisitions is estimated utilizing a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the underlying purchase agreement. The significant unobservable inputs used in calculating the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisitions include financial performance scenarios, the probability of achieving those scenarios and the discount rate.

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.

The fair value of debt issued by the Company is estimated using quoted prices for the identical instrument in a market that is not active and considers interest rates currently available to companies of similar credit standing for similar terms and remaining maturities and considers the nonperformance risk of the Company. If reported at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, debt issued or assumed by the Company would be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Legacy TiVo Solutions Restructuring Plans

In the three months ended March 31, 2017, certain termination benefits expired that were offered by TiVo Solutions in connection with the elimination of a number of positions prior to the TiVo Acquisition Date. As a result of these termination benefits expiring unused, Restructuring and asset impairment charges recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were reduced by $150 thousand. As of March 31, 2017, the Legacy TiVo Solutions Restructuring Plans were completed and no Accrued restructuring costs are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to these actions.

Legacy Rovi Restructuring Plans

In the three months ended March 31, 2016, Rovi initiated certain facility rationalization activities, including relocating its corporate headquarters from Santa Clara, California to San Carlos, California and consolidating its Silicon Valley operations into the new corporate headquarters, and eliminated a number of positions associated with a reorganization of the sales force structure, downsizing the global services workforce and eliminating certain general and administrative positions. As a result of these actions, Restructuring and asset impairment charges of $2.3 million were recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

As of March 31, 2017, Accrued restructuring costs of $0.4 million are included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the Legacy Rovi Restructuring Plans.

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 (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.

The 2020 Convertible Notes were convertible at an initial conversion rate of 34.5968 shares of TiVo Corporation common stock per $1,000 of principal of notes, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of $28.9044 per share of TiVo Corporation common stock. As of March 31, 2017, the 2020 Convertible Notes are convertible at a conversion rate of 34.9200 shares of TiVo Corporation common stock per $1,000 principal of notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of 28.6369 per share of TiVo Corporation common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to adjustment pursuant to the 2015 Indenture, including as a result of dividends paid by TiVo Corporation.

Holders may convert the 2020 Convertible Notes, prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2019, in multiples of $1,000 of principal under the following circumstances:
during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2015 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of TiVo Corporation's common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day

18


of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 of principal of 2020 Convertible Notes for each trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of TiVo Corporation’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or
on the occurrence of specified corporate events.
    
On or after December 1, 2019 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert the 2020 Convertible Notes, in multiples of $1,000 of principal, at any time.

In addition, during the 35-day trading period following a Merger Event, as defined in the 2015 Indenture, holders may convert the 2020 Convertible Notes, in multiples of $1,000 of principal.

On conversion, a holder will receive the conversion value of the 2020 Convertible Notes converted based on the conversion rate multiplied by the volume-weighted average price of TiVo Corporation’s common stock over a specified observation period. On conversion, Rovi will pay cash up to the aggregate principal of the 2020 Convertible Notes converted and deliver shares of TiVo Corporation’s common stock in respect of the remainder, if any, of the conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal of the 2020 Convertible Notes being converted.

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain events, including certain events that constitute a "Make-Whole Fundamental Change" (as defined in the 2015 Indenture). In addition, if Rovi undergoes a "Fundamental Change" (as defined in the 2015 Indenture) prior to March 1, 2020, holders may require Rovi to repurchase for cash all or a portion of the 2020 Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal of the repurchased 2020 Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The conversion rate is also subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

The 2020 Convertible Notes are not redeemable prior to maturity by Rovi and no sinking fund is provided. The 2020 Convertible Notes are unsecured and do not contain financial covenants or restrictions on the payment of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the repurchase of other securities by Rovi. The 2015 Indenture includes customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default after which the 2020 Convertible Notes may be due and payable immediately.

TiVo Corporation has 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.

Rovi incurred $9.3 million in transaction costs related to the issuance of the 2020 Convertible Notes which were allocated to liability and equity components based on the relative amounts calculated for the 2020 Convertible Notes at the date of issuance. Transaction costs of $7.6 million attributable to the liability component were recorded in Long-term debt, less current portion in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected term of the 2020 Convertible Notes. Transaction costs of $1.7 million attributable to the equity component were recorded as a component of Additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Purchased Call Options and Sold Warrants related to the 2020 Convertible Notes

Concurrent with the issuance of the 2020 Convertible Notes, Rovi paid $64.8 million to purchase call options with respect to its common stock. The call options give TiVo Corporation the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to 11.9 million shares of TiVo Corporation's common stock at a strike price of $28.9044 per share, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2020 Convertible Notes, and are exercisable by TiVo Corporation on conversion of the 2020 Convertible Notes. The call options are intended to reduce the potential dilution from conversion of the 2020 Convertible Notes. The purchased call options are separate transactions from the 2020 Convertible Notes and holders of the 2020 Convertible Notes do not have any rights with respect to the purchased call options.

Concurrent with the issuance of the 2020 Convertible Notes, Rovi received $31.3 million from the sale of 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 a strike price of $40.1450 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 were entered into 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.

The amounts paid to purchase the call options and received to sell the warrants were recorded in Additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 ("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. Following the TiVo Acquisition, the 2021 Convertible Notes were convertible at a conversion rate of 21.6181 shares of TiVo Corporation common stock per $1,000 principal of notes and $154.30 per $1,000 principal of notes, which was equivalent to a conversion price of $39.12 per share of TiVo Corporation common stock. As of March 31, 2017, the 2021 Convertible Notes are convertible at a conversion rate of 21.8178 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 38.7620 per share of TiVo Corporation 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.

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

20


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.
    
Senior Secured Credit Facility

On July 2, 2014, Rovi Corporation, as parent guarantor, and two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rovi Solutions Corporation and Rovi Guides, Inc., as borrowers, and certain of its other subsidiaries, as subsidiary guarantors, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). After the completion of the TiVo Acquisition, TiVo Corporation became a guarantor under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provided for a (i) five-year $125.0 million term loan A facility (“Term Loan Facility A”), (ii) seven-year $700.0 million term loan B facility (“Term Loan Facility B” and together with Term Loan Facility A, the “Term Loan Facility”) and (iii) five-year $175.0 million revolving credit facility (including a letter of credit sub-facility) (the "Revolving Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”). In September 2015, Rovi made a voluntary principal prepayment to extinguish Term Loan Facility A and elected to terminate the Revolving Facility.

Prior to the refinancing described below, loans under Term Loan Facility B bore interest, at the Company's option, at a rate equal to either LIBOR, plus an applicable margin equal to 3.00% per annum (subject to a 0.75% LIBOR floor) or the prime lending rate, plus an applicable margin equal to 2.00% per annum.

On January 26, 2017, TiVo Corporation, as parent guarantor, two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rovi Solutions Corporation and Rovi Guides, Inc., as borrowers, and certain of TiVo Corporation’s other subsidiaries, as subsidiary guarantors, entered into Refinancing Agreement No. 1 with respect to Term Loan Facility B. The $682.5 million in proceeds from Refinancing Agreement No. 1 was used to repay existing loans under Term Loan Facility B in full. The borrowing terms for Refinancing Agreement No. 1 are substantially similar to the borrowing terms of Term Loan Facility B. However, loans under Refinancing Agreement No. 1 bear interest, at the borrower's option, at a rate equal to either LIBOR, plus an applicable margin equal to 2.50% per annum (subject to a 0.75% LIBOR floor) or the prime lending rate, plus an applicable margin equal to 1.50% per annum. Refinancing Agreement No. 1 requires quarterly principal payments of $1.75 million through June 2021, with any remaining balance payable in July 2021. Refinancing Agreement No. 1 is part of the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The refinancing of Term Loan Facility B resulted in a Loss on debt extinguishment of $0.1 million and a Loss on debt modification of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Creditors in Term Loan Facility B that elected not to participate in Refinancing Agreement No. 1 were extinguished. Creditors in Term Loan Facility B that elected to participate in Refinancing Agreement No. 1 and for which the present value of future cash flows were not substantially different were accounted for as a debt modification.

The Credit Agreement contains 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 Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. The Company may be required to make an additional payment on the Term Loan Facility each February. This payment is calculated as a percentage of the prior year's "Excess Cash Flow" as defined in the Credit Agreement. No additional payment was required in February 2017.

While the 2020 Convertible Notes are scheduled to mature on March 1, 2020, future principal payments are presented based on the date the 2020 Convertible Notes can be freely converted by holders, which is December 1, 2019. However, the 2020 Convertible Notes may be converted by holders prior to December 1, 2019 in certain circumstances.

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 interest rate swaps or may terminate a previously executed 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 Income (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 and the effect of master netting agreements. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded a gain of $0.5 million and a loss of $13.1 million, respectively, from adjusting its interest rate swaps to fair value.

(10) Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

In August 2016, Rovi entered into a 10-year patent license agreement with DISH Network L.L.C. (“DISH”). Under the license agreement, DISH will pay Rovi for the period beginning on April 5, 2016 based on a monthly, per-subscriber fee, consistent with Rovi’s existing licensing program for its largest pay TV providers. In addition, DISH agreed to provide TiVo Inc. with a release for all past products and a going-forward covenant not-to-sue under DISH’s existing patents during the 10-year license term in exchange for TiVo Solutions providing DISH certain TiVo Solutions products during the term and cash payments by TiVo Solutions to DISH of $60.3 million in the aggregate, of which $15.0 million was paid in the fourth quarter of 2016 with the remainder due by the end of the third quarter of 2017. The TiVo Solutions release and covenant transaction is being recognized as a reduction to revenue over the license term in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. No changes were made to the prior, existing patent settlement between EchoStar, DISH Network Corporation, and TiVo Solutions as a result of this agreement.

The Company purchases components from a variety of suppliers and uses several contract manufacturers to provide manufacturing services for its products. During the normal course of business, in order to manage manufacturing lead times and help ensure adequate component supply, the Company enters into agreements with contract manufacturers and suppliers 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 reported purchase commitments arising from these agreements consists of firm, non-cancelable and unconditional purchase commitments. In certain instances, these agreements allow the Company the option to cancel, reschedule and adjust the Company’s requirements based on its business needs prior to firm orders being placed. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had total purchase commitments for inventory of $11.4 million, of which $1.6 million was accrued in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.


22


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 DVRs, and the provision of engineering and consulting services. The Company’s obligation to provide indemnifications under its agreements with customer and business partners would arise in the event that 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 out of 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 operators 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 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, TiVo Solutions could obtain and liquidate to recover all or a portion of the amounts paid pursuant to its indemnification obligations.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings, including those identified below, consisting of 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. The Company believes it has recorded adequate provisions for any such matters and, as of March 31, 2017, it was not reasonably possible that a material loss had been incurred in excess of the amounts recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Legal costs are expensed as incurred. 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.

On November 15, 2016, Driehaus Appraisal Litigation Fund, L.P., Driehaus Companies Profit Sharing Plan and Trust, and Richard H. Driehaus IRA (the “Driehaus Entities”) filed a petition for appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("Section 262") in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware covering a total of 1.9 million shares of common stock of TiVo Solutions in connection with the TiVo Acquisition. Additionally, on November 15, 2016, Fir Tree Value Master Fund L.P. and Fir Tree Capital Opportunity Master Fund L.P. (the “Fir Tree Entities” and together with the Driehaus Entities, the “Appraisal Petitioners”) filed a petition for appraisal pursuant to Section 262 in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware covering a total of 7.2 million shares of common stock of TiVo Solutions in connection with the TiVo Acquisition. On January 11, 2017, the Court of Chancery consolidated the two petitions into a consolidated action entitled In re

23


Appraisal of TiVo, Inc., C.A. No. 12909-CB (Del. Ch.). The Appraisal Petitioners were also seeking the payment of their costs and attorneys’ fees. As discussed in Note 2, on March 27, 2017, TiVo Corporation executed a settlement agreement with the Dissenting Holders to settle the claims of the Dissenting Holders for $117.0 million, which was paid in cash in April 2017.

On January 27, 2017, UBS Securities LLC ("UBS") filed a complaint against TiVo Solutions alleging TiVo Solutions breached its contractual obligations to UBS under a September 14, 2010 letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") whereby TiVo Solutions retained UBS as its financial advisor. In the complaint, UBS alleged that TiVo Solutions never terminated its Letter Agreement with UBS and, as a result, TiVo Solutions breached its obligations to UBS by (i) not paying UBS's annual retainer fee of $0.3 million for an unspecified number of years, but totaling an amount of $1.4 million, including unpaid retainer fees and out-of-pocket expenses, and (ii) not considering or retaining UBS as TiVo Solutions' financial advisor in connection with its merger with Rovi, for which UBS alleged TiVo Solutions owed it a fee of $14.5 million (the amount TiVo Solutions paid its financial advisor for the merger). The Company and UBS settled this matter in May 2017 for $0.7 million, to be paid in a combination of a current cash payment and potential future service fees.

(11) 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 EPS and Diluted EPS were as follows (in thousands):

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, 0.7 million weighted average performance-based restricted stock units and 0.8 million weighted average performance-based restricted stock and restricted stock units, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of Diluted EPS as the performance metric had yet to be achieved or their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Effect of the 2020 Convertible Notes and related transactions on Diluted EPS

In periods when the Company reports income from continuing operations, the potential dilutive effect of additional shares that may be issued on conversion of the 2020 Convertible Notes are included in the calculation of Diluted EPS under the treasury stock method if the price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the conversion price. The 2020 Convertible Notes have no impact on Diluted EPS until the price of the Company's common stock exceeds the conversion price of $28.6369 per share because the principal of the 2020 Convertible Notes is required to be settled in cash. Based on the closing price of the Company's common stock of $18.75 per share on March 31, 2017, the if-converted value of the 2020 Convertible Notes was less than the outstanding principal.

Under the treasury stock method, the 2020 Convertible Notes would be dilutive if the Company’s common stock closes at or above $28.6369 per share. However, on conversion, no economic dilution is 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 9 is expected to eliminate any potential dilution from the 2020 Convertible Notes that would have otherwise occurred. The call options are always excluded from the calculation of Diluted EPS as they are 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 9 have an effect on Diluted EPS when the Company’s share price exceeds the warrant’s strike price of $40.1450 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 stock repurchase program authorization to $150.0 million. The February 2017 authorization includes amounts which were outstanding under previously authorized share repurchase programs. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had $150.0 million of stock repurchase authorization remaining.

The Company issues restricted stock units as part of the equity incentive plans described in Note 12. For the majority of restricted stock units, 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 stock units 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 considered common stock repurchases under the Company's authorized share repurchase plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company withheld 0.5 million and 0.2 million shares of common stock to satisfy $9.6 million and $3.8 million of required withholding taxes, respectively.

Dividend

On February 14, 2017, TiVo Corporation's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.18 per share, payable on March 15, 2017, to stockholders of record on March 1, 2017.

Section 382 Transfer Restrictions
    
On September 7, 2016, upon the effective time of the TiVo Acquisition, the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to include certain transfer restrictions intended to preserve tax benefits related to the net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of the Company pursuant to Section 382 of Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that apply to transfers made by 5% stockholders, transferees related to a 5% stockholder, transferees acting in coordination with a 5% stockholder, or transfers that would result in a stockholder becoming a 5% stockholder. If the Company experiences an “ownership change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Code, its 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. These transfer restrictions are 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 5% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code, without the approval of the Company's Board of Directors. Such transfer restrictions will expire on the earlier of (i) the repeal of Section 382 or any successor statute if the Company’s Board of Directors determines that such restrictions are no longer necessary or desirable for the preservation of certain tax benefits, (ii) the beginning of a taxable year to which the Company’s Board of Directors determines that no tax benefits may be carried forward or (iii) the end of the day on September 7, 2019, three years from the effective time of the TiVo Acquisition when the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to include certain transfer restrictions. The Company conducted a stockholder advisory vote with respect to the maintenance of such

25


transfer restrictions in its certificate of incorporation at its 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the stockholders approved of such transfer restrictions.

(12) Equity-based Compensation

Stock Options and Restricted Awards

The Company grants equity-based compensation awards from the Rovi 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Rovi 2008 Plan”). As of March 31, 2017, the Company had 29.9 million shares reserved and 13.9 million shares available for issuance under the Rovi 2008 Plan. The Rovi 2008 Plan permits the grant of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and similar types of equity awards to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. Stock options generally have vesting periods of four years 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. Restricted stock is considered outstanding at the time of the grant as holders are entitled to voting rights. Awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units (collectively, "restricted awards") are generally subject to a four year graded vesting period. 

On September 7, 2016, the Company assumed the TiVo Inc. Amended and Restated 2008 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “TiVo 2008 Plan”). Stock options assumed from the TiVo 2008 Plan generally have vesting periods of four years with one quarter of the grant vesting on the first anniversary of the grant, followed by monthly vesting thereafter or vesting monthly over the four year vesting period. Stock options assumed from TiVo 2008 Plan generally have a contractual term of seven years. Restricted stock awards assumed from the TiVo 2008 Plan are generally subject to a three year vesting period, with 17% of the award vesting every six months. As of March 31, 2017, there were 3.8 million shares reserved and 3.8 million shares available for future grant under the TiVo 2008 Plan. The Company has amended and restated the TiVo 2008 Plan effective as of the closing of the TiVo Acquisition to be the Titan Equity Incentive Award Plan for purposes of awards granted following the closing of the TiVo Acquisition.

The Company also grants performance-based restricted stock units to certain of its senior officers for three-year performance periods. Vesting in the awards is subject to either performance conditions or a market condition as well as a three-year service period. Depending on the level of achievement, the maximum number of shares that could be issued on vesting could be up to 200% of the target number of performance-based restricted stock units granted.

For awards subject to performance conditions, the fair value per award is fixed at the grant date; however, the amount of compensation expense is adjusted throughout the performance period based on the probability of achievement of a target revenue compound annual growth rate and a target Adjusted EBITDA (defined in Note 14) margin, with compensation expense based on the number of shares ultimately issued. For awards subject to a market 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 based on changes in the level of achievement of the relative Total Shareholder Return metric.

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, 2017, the Company had 6.4 million shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance under the ESPP.


26


Valuation Techniques and Assumptions

The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula to estimate the fair value of stock options and ESPP shares. The fair value of stock options and ESPP shares is estimated on the grant date using complex and subjective inputs, such as the expected volatility of the Company's common stock over the expected term of the award and projected employee exercise behavior. For restricted awards subject to service or performance conditions granted prior to February 14, 2017, fair value was estimated as the price of the Company's common stock at the close of trading on the date of grant. As restricted awards subject to service or performance conditions granted after February 14, 2017 are not dividend-protected, fair value 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. A Monte Carlo simulation is used to estimate the fair value of restricted stock units subject to market conditions.

Assumptions used to estimate the fair value of equity-based compensation awards granted during the period were as follows:

Expected volatility is estimated using a combination of historical volatility and implied volatility derived from publicly-traded options on the Company's common stock. When historical data is available and relevant, the expected term of the award is estimated by calculating the average term from historical experience. When there is insufficient historical data to provide a reasonable basis on which to estimate the expected term, the Company uses an average of the vesting period and the contractual term of the award to estimate the expected term of the award. The risk-free interest rate is the yield on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term of the award at the grant date. For awards granted prior to February 14, 2017, the Company assumed an expected dividend yield of zero as it had not historically paid a dividend. 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. 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 recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment in the period estimates are revised.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value that option holders would have received had all option holders exercised their options at the end of the last trading day in the period. The aggregate intrinsic value is the difference between TiVo's closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price of the option, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options.

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised is the difference between the market price of the shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price of the stock option multiplied by the number of stock options exercised. The aggregate

28


intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $1.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

(13) 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 the primary driver of Income tax expense.

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 potential outcomes of these audits in order to determine the appropriateness of its tax provision. 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 that 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.    
    
(14) 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: Intellectual Property Licensing and Product. The Intellectual Property Licensing segment consists primarily of licensing the Company's patent portfolio to U.S. and international pay-television providers (directly and through their suppliers), mobile device manufacturers, consumer electronics ("CE") manufacturers and over-the-top ("OTT") video providers. The Product segment consists primarily of licensing Company-developed IPG products and services to multi-channel video service providers and CE manufacturers, in-guide advertising revenue, analytics revenue and revenue from licensing the TiVo service, licensing metadata and selling TiVo-enabled devices. The Product segment also includes sales of legacy Analog Content Protection, VCR Plus+ and media recognition products.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company reorganized the presentation of revenue within its Intellectual Property Licensing segment to US Pay TV Providers and Other to better portray its growth strategy. Revenue from US Pay TV Providers includes direct and indirect licensing of multi-channel linear video programming regardless of the particular distribution technology (e.g., cable, satellite or the internet). Specifically, this includes licensing to traditional Pay TV providers and internet-based Pay TV providers based in the U.S. Other revenue includes licensing international Pay TV providers, mobile device manufacturers, CE manufacturers and on-demand OTT video providers. Revenue within the Intellectual Property Licensing segment for prior periods has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

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

29


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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for TiVo Corporation (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including the discussion contained in Item 2 "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events or future financial performance, which include implementing our business strategy, successfully integrating Rovi Corporation ("Rovi") and TiVo Inc. (renamed TiVo Solutions Inc. (“TiVo Solutions”)) following our acquisition of TiVo Inc. on September 7, 2016, realizing planned synergies and cost-savings associated with the TiVo Acquisition, developing and introducing new technologies, obtaining, maintaining and expanding market acceptance of the technologies we offer, successfully renewing intellectual property licenses with the major North American service providers and competition in our markets.

In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “future,” “predict,” “potential,” “intend,” or “continue,” and similar expressions. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management and on information currently available to our management. Our actual results, performance and achievements may differ materially from the results, performance and achievements expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. For a discussion of some of the factors that might cause such a difference, see the "Risk Factors" contained in Part II, Item 1A. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we specifically disclaim any obligation to update such forward-looking statements.
    
The following commentary should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Executive Overview of Results

On September 7, 2016 (the "TiVo Acquisition Date"), Rovi Corporation ("Rovi") completed its acquisition of TiVo Inc. (renamed TiVo Solutions Inc. ("TiVo Solutions")), a global leader in next-generation video technology and innovative cloud-based software-as-a-service solutions, for $1.1 billion (the "TiVo Acquisition"). The TiVo Acquisition created a new company, TiVo Corporation ("TiVo" or the "Company"), which is a global leader in entertainment technology and audience insights. From the interactive program guide ("IPG") to the digital video recorder ("DVR"), we provide innovative products and licensable technologies that enable the world’s leading media and entertainment companies to deliver the ultimate entertainment experience and improve how people find content across a changing media landscape. For further details on the TiVo Acquisition, see Note 2 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Our operations are organized into two reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Intellectual Property Licensing and Product. The Intellectual Property Licensing segment consists primarily of licensing our patent portfolio to U.S. and international pay-television providers (directly and through their suppliers), mobile device manufacturers, consumer electronics ("CE") manufacturers and over-the-top ("OTT") video providers. Our broad portfolio of licensable technology patents covers many aspects of content discovery, DVR, video-on-demand (“VOD”), OTT experiences, multi-screen functionality and personalization, as well as interactive applications and advertising. We group our Intellectual Property Licensing revenues into two verticals based primarily on the business of our customer: US Pay TV Providers and Other. Revenue from US Pay TV Providers includes direct and indirect licensing of multi-channel linear video programming regardless of the particular distribution technology (e.g., cable, satellite or the internet). Specifically, this includes licensing to traditional Pay TV providers and internet-based Pay TV providers based in the U.S. Other revenue includes licensing international Pay TV providers, mobile device manufacturers, CE manufacturers and on-demand OTT video providers.

The Product segment consists primarily of the licensing of Company-developed IPG products and services to multi-channel video service providers and CE manufacturers, in-guide advertising revenue, analytics revenue and revenue from licensing the TiVo service, licensing metadata and selling TiVo-enabled devices. We group our Product revenues into three verticals based on the products delivered to our customer: Platform Solutions; Software and Services; and Other. Platform Solutions includes revenue from licensing Company-developed IPG products and the TiVo service and selling TiVo-enabled devices. Software and Services includes revenue from licensing our metadata, advanced search and recommendation and

32


analytics products, as well as in-guide advertising revenue. Other revenue includes sales of legacy Analog Content Protection ("ACP"), VCR Plus+ and media recognition products.

Total Revenues, net for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased by 74% compared to the prior year primarily as a result of the TiVo Acquisition, as including TiVo Solutions' results for the period increased revenue by $84.8 million. Total Revenues, net also increased compared to the prior year due to licenses executed in 2016 with large US Pay TV Providers and new licenses executed in the three months ended March 31, 2017 with OTT providers. These increases were partially offset by Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") being out of license during three months ended March 31, 2017 and a continued decline in ACP revenue.

Our Intellectual Property Licensing contract with Comcast expired on March 31, 2016. Our Product relationship with Comcast, primarily a metadata license, remains in effect through September 2017. The expiration of our intellectual property license with Comcast, as well as litigation initiated against Comcast, may result in a reduction of revenue and an increase in litigation costs. While the Company anticipates that Comcast will eventually execute a new intellectual property license, the length of time that Comcast is out of license prior to executing a new license is uncertain. The amount of revenue recognized in the reporting period a license is executed is uncertain and will depend on a variety of factors, including license terms such as duration, pricing, covered products and fields of use, and the duration of the out-of-license period. In addition, while litigation costs may increase, whether the litigation initiated against Comcast will cause total expenses to increase or decrease longer-term will be a function of several factors, including the length of time Comcast is out of license and the length of time we remain in litigation with Comcast.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, our Net loss was $34.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to a Net loss of $17.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the prior year. The increased loss was primarily due to the three months ended March 31, 2017 including a $12.9 million loss from a Litigation settlement related to the TiVo Acquisition, a $9.7 million loss from the results of operations of TiVo Solutions and $7.2 million of Transaction, transition and integration costs related to the TiVo Acquisition, partially offset by increased revenue from licenses with large US Pay TV Providers executed in 2016, favorable changes in the fair value of our interest rate swap portfolio and benefits from cost saving initiatives.

Total Revenues, net

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, Total Revenues, net increased 74% compared to the prior year primarily as a result of the TiVo Acquisition, as including TiVo Solutions' results for the period increased revenue by $84.8 million. Total Revenues, net also increased compared to the prior year due to licenses executed in 2016 with large US Pay TV Providers and new licenses executed in the three months ended March 31, 2017 with OTT providers. These increases were partially offset by Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") being out of license during three months ended March 31, 2017 and a continued decline in ACP revenue.

At the segment level, Intellectual Property Licensing and Product revenues increased $34.5 million and $52.9 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Intellectual Property Licensing generated 44.1% and 47.5% of Total Revenues, net for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As a result of the TiVo Acquisition, we anticipate Product revenues will become a larger portion of our Total Revenues, net in 2017.

For additional details on the changes in Total Revenues, net, see the discussion of our segment results below.


34


Cost of licensing, services and software revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets
  
Cost of licensing, services and software revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, consist primarily of employee-related costs, patent prosecution, maintenance and litigation costs and an allocation of overhead and facilities costs, as well as service center and other expenses related to providing the TiVo service.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, Cost of licensing, services and software revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets increased 90% compared to the prior year primarily as a result of the TiVo Acquisition, as including TiVo Solutions' results for the period increased costs by $16.7 million. Other than the effects of including TiVo Solutions in the results for the period, Cost of licensing, services and software revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets increased $3.3 million from the prior period due to a $4.5 million increase in patent litigation and maintenance costs which primarily related to the ongoing Comcast litigation, which were partially offset by a decrease in compensation costs.

Cost of hardware revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets
  
Cost of hardware revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets includes all product-related costs associated with TiVo-enabled devices, including manufacturing costs, employee-related costs, warranty costs and order fulfillment costs, as well as certain licensing costs and an allocation of overhead and facilities costs. Hardware is sold primarily as a means to grow our Licensing, services and software revenues and, as a result, generating positive gross margins from hardware sales is not the primary goal of the hardware operations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the increase in Cost of hardware revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets was attributable to TiVo Solutions' results for the period and Transaction, transition and integration costs associated with the TiVo Acquisition of $1.4 million.

Research and development

Research and development expenses are comprised primarily of employee-related costs, consulting costs and an allocation of overhead and facilities costs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, Research and development expenses increased 122% compared to the prior year primarily as a result of the TiVo Acquisition, as including TiVo Solutions' results for the period increased costs by $27.1 million. Other than the effects of including TiVo Solutions in the results for the period, Research and development costs decreased $0.2 million due to benefits from cost saving initiatives which were partially offset by Transaction, transition and integration costs associated with the TiVo Acquisition of $1.2 million.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling expenses are comprised primarily of employee-related costs, including travel costs, advertising costs and an allocation of overhead and facilities costs. General and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of employee-related costs, including travel costs, corporate accounting, consulting, legal and tax fees and an allocation of overhead and facilities costs.
 
The 47% increase in Selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to the TiVo Acquisition as including TiVo Solutions' results for the period increased costs by $12.7 million. Other than the effects of including TiVo Solutions in the results for the period, Selling, general and administrative costs increased $4.6 million as a result of Transaction, transition and integration costs associated with the TiVo Acquisition of $4.5 million.

We anticipate incurring material transition and integration-related costs, primarily consisting of employee-related costs and information systems investments in connection with integrating the operations of TiVo Solutions with the operations of Rovi through 2017.

Depreciation and Amortization of intangible assets

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, Depreciation and Amortization of intangible assets increased from the prior year primarily due to the TiVo Acquisition. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the inclusion of TiVo Solutions increased Depreciation by $2.3 million and increased Amortization of intangible assets by $23.1 million.

Restructuring and asset impairment charges

TiVo Integration Restructuring Plan

Following completion of the TiVo Acquisition, integration plans were implemented which are intended to realize operational synergies between Rovi and TiVo Solutions (the "TiVo Integration Restructuring Plan"). We expect to eliminate duplicative positions resulting in severance costs and the termination of certain leases and other contracts as part of the integration plans. We expect to generate over $100 million in annualized cost synergies from the TiVo Acquisition and expect to take actions that will ultimately produce over $65 million of run-rate synergies within one year of the TiVo Acquisition Date. As a result of these actions, Restructuring and asset impairment charges of $4.7 million were recognized in connection with the TiVo Integration Restructuring Plan in the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily related to termination and transition agreements executed with former TiVo Solutions' employees.

We expect to incur material restructuring costs in connection with the TiVo Integration Restructuring Plan through 2017.
    
Legacy TiVo Solutions Restructuring Plans

In the three months ended March 31, 2017, certain termination benefits expired that were offered by TiVo Solutions in connection with the elimination of a number of positions prior to the TiVo Acquisition Date. As a result of these termination benefits expiring unused, Restructuring and asset impairment charges recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were reduced by $150 thousand.

Legacy Rovi Restructuring Plans

In the three months ended March 31, 2016, Rovi initiated certain facility rationalization activities, including relocating its corporate headquarters from Santa Clara, California to San Carlos, California and consolidating its Silicon Valley operations into a new corporate headquarters, and eliminating a number of positions associated with a reorganization of the sales force structure, downsizing the global services workforce and eliminating certain general and administrative positions. As a result of these actions, Restructuring and asset impairment charges of $2.3 million were recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Income (loss) on interest rate swaps

We have not designated any of our interest rate swaps as hedges for accounting purposes and therefore changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps are not offset by changes in the fair value of the related hedged item in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (see Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated by reference herein). We generally utilize interest rate swaps to convert the interest rate on a portion of our loans with a floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate. Under the terms of our interest rate swaps, we generally receive a floating rate of interest and pay a fixed rate of interest. When there is an increase in expected future London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR"), we generally have gains when adjusting our interest rate swaps to fair value. When there is a decrease in expected future LIBOR, we generally have losses when adjusting our interest rate swaps to fair value.

Loss on debt extinguishment and Loss on debt modification

On January 26, 2017, TiVo Corporation, as parent guarantor, two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rovi Solutions Corporation and Rovi Guides, Inc., as borrowers, and certain of TiVo Corporation’s other subsidiaries, as subsidiary guarantors, entered into Refinancing Agreement No. 1 with respect to Term Loan Facility B. The $682.5 million in proceeds from Refinancing Agreement No. 1 was used to repay existing loans under Term Loan Facility B in full. The refinancing of Term Loan Facility B resulted in a Loss on debt extinguishment of $0.1 million and a Loss on debt modification of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Creditors in Term Loan Facility B that elected not to participate in Refinancing Agreement No. 1 were extinguished. Creditors in Term Loan Facility B that elected to participate in Refinancing Agreement No. 1 and for which the present value of future cash flows were not substantially different were accounted for as a debt modification.
    

36


Litigation settlement

On November 15, 2016, holders of 9.1 million shares of TiVo Solutions common stock outstanding at the TiVo Acquisition Date who did not vote to approve the TiVo Acquisition filed a petition for appraisal ("Dissenting Holders", and the shares held by such Dissenting Holders, the "Dissenting Shares") in the Delaware Court of Chancery.

On March 27, 2017, TiVo Corporation agreed to settle the claims of the Dissenting Holders for $117.0 million, which was paid in cash in April 2017. In connection with the settlement, in March 2017, the exchange agent in the TiVo Acquisition returned $25.1 million in cash related to the Dissenting Holders to TiVo Corporation. As the amount paid to Dissenting Holders resulted from a settlement other than a judgment from the Delaware Court of Chancery, a Litigation settlement loss of $12.9 million was recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Litigation settlement loss represents the settlement amount in excess of the amount due to the Dissenting Holders as merger consideration.

Income tax expense

Due to our significant net operating loss carryforwards and a valuation allowance applied against a significant portion of our deferred tax assets, foreign withholding taxes are the primary driver of our Income tax expense.

We recorded Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $5.6 million, which primarily consists of $4.2 million of foreign withholding taxes, $0.6 million of state income taxes and $0.6 million of foreign income taxes.

We recorded Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 of $5.4 million, which primarily consists of $3.7 million foreign withholding taxes, $0.6 million of foreign income taxes, a $0.5 million increase in net deferred tax liabilities and $0.4 million of state income taxes.

The year-over-year increase in foreign withholding taxes for three months ended March 31, 2017 was due to a larger portion of license fees received in 2017 coming from licensees in countries subject to foreign withholding taxes.


Segment Results

We report segment information in the same way management internally organizes the business for assessing performance and making decisions regarding the allocation of resources to the business units. The terms Adjusted Operating Expenses and Adjusted EBITDA in the following discussion use the definitions provided in Note 14 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated by reference herein.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company reorganized the presentation of revenue within its Intellectual Property Licensing segment to US Pay TV Providers and Other to better portray our growth strategy. Revenue within the Intellectual Property Licensing segment for prior periods has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, Intellectual Property Licensing revenue increased 61% compared to the prior year due to a 90% increase in US Pay TV Providers revenue and a 19% increase in Other revenue. Revenue from US Pay TV Providers increased primarily due to the inclusion of $23.9 million of TiVo Solutions revenue and increased revenue from

37


licenses executed in 2016 with large US Pay TV Providers. These increases were partially offset by the expiration of the Comcast license on March 31, 2016. The increase in Other revenue was primarily due to the inclusion of $2.8 million of TiVo Solutions revenue and new licenses executed in the three months ended March 31, 2017 with OTT providers.

Prior to the TiVo Acquisition Date, TiVo Solutions entered into intellectual property licenses and settlements with EchoStar, AT&T and Verizon. These agreements expire in July 2018. Revenue from US Pay TV Providers includes $18.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from these agreements. Based on current U.S. GAAP, revenue and cash received from the contractual minimums under these licenses are expected to be as follows (in thousands):

Prior to the TiVo Acquisition Date, TiVo Solutions also entered into a Software and patent non-assertion agreement with DirecTV. This agreement expires in February 2018. Revenue from US Pay TV Providers includes $5.2 million from this agreement and we anticipate recognizing an additional $15.6 million in revenue during the remainder of 2017 from this agreement.

We do not anticipate that these agreements will be renewed on similar terms. We do, however, anticipate generating meaningful future revenues from licensing the TiVo Solutions patent portfolio to other parties (such as the Samsung license agreement entered into in the fourth quarter of 2016).

Intellectual Property Licensing Adjusted Operating Expenses increased 71% during the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to the effect of including TiVo Solutions' results for the period and a $4.5 million increase in patent litigation and maintenance costs which primarily related to the ongoing Comcast litigation.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, Product revenue increased 85% compared to the prior year as Platform Solutions revenues increased 149%, while Software and Services and Other revenue increased 24% and decreased 75%, respectively. TiVo Solutions contributed $53.3 million and $4.8 million to Platform Solutions and Software and Services revenues, respectively. TiVo Solutions Product revenue includes $12.6 million of hardware sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Hardware revenue is expected to decrease in the future as multiple system operator partners shift to deploying the TiVo service on third-party hardware resulting in a decrease in the number of TiVo manufactured set-top boxes sold to multiple system operator partners. The decrease in Other revenue of $4.7 million was the result of a continued decline in ACP revenue. ACP revenue is expected to continue to decline in the future.

Product Adjusted Operating Expenses increased 108% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the prior year primarily as a result of including TiVo Solutions' results for the period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the increase in Corporate Adjusted Operating Expenses reflects the effect of including TiVo Solutions in results for the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We finance our business primarily from operating cash flow. We believe our cash position remains strong and our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and anticipated operating cash flow, supplemented with access to capital markets as necessary, are generally sufficient to support our operating businesses, capital expenditures, restructuring activities, maturing debt, interest payments and income tax payments, in addition to investments in future growth opportunities and payments for dividends and share repurchases for at least the next twelve months. Our access to capital markets may be constrained and our cost of borrowing may increase under certain business, market and economic conditions; however, our use of a variety of funding sources to meet our liquidity needs is designed to facilitate continued access to sufficient capital resources under such conditions.

As of March 31, 2017, we had $187.6 million in Cash and cash equivalents, $103.3 million in Short-term marketable securities and $122.7 million in Long-term marketable securities. Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are held in numerous locations around the world, with $227.9 million held by our foreign subsidiaries as of March 31, 2017. Due to our net operating loss carryforwards, we could repatriate amounts to the U.S. with minimal income tax impacts.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased $10.7 million, The decrease was primarily due to the timing of collections on Accounts receivable, net, higher bonus payments in 2017 and payments made in connection with the TiVo Integration Restructuring Plan, partially offset by benefits from the TiVo Acquisition. We expect to make material cash payments for restructuring actions in connection with the TiVo Integration Restructuring Plan through the end of 2017. The availability of cash generated by our operations in the future could be adversely affected by business risks including, but not limited to, the Risk Factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which are incorporated by reference herein.

In August 2016, Rovi entered into a 10-year patent license agreement with DISH Network L.L.C. ("DISH"). As part of the agreement, DISH agreed to provide TiVo Inc. with a release for all past products and a going-forward covenant not-to-sue under DISH’s existing patents during the 10-year license term in exchange for TiVo Inc. providing DISH certain TiVo Inc. products during the license term and cash payments by TiVo Inc. to DISH of $60.3 million, of which $15.0 million was paid in

39


the fourth quarter of 2016 with the remainder due by the end of the third quarter of 2017. The agreement with DISH is described in more detail in Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased $58.4 million due to a $28.9 million increase in net proceeds from marketable security investment activities and the return of $25.1 million of cash held by the exchange agent for the TiVo Acquisition following our settlement agreement with the Dissenting Holders. On November 15, 2016, holders of 9.1 million shares of TiVo Solutions common stock outstanding at the TiVo Acquisition Date who did not vote to approve the TiVo Acquisition filed a petition for appraisal in the Delaware Court of Chancery. On March 27, 2017, TiVo Corporation agreed to settle the claims of the Dissenting Holders for $117.0 million, which was paid in cash in April 2017. In connection with the settlement, in March 2017, the exchange agent in the TiVo Acquisition returned $25.1 million in cash related to the Dissenting Holders to TiVo Corporation. For additional details regarding the settlement with the Dissenting Holders, see Note 2 and Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated by reference herein.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 also increased due to lower spending on capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures are primarily associated with infrastructure projects designed to integrate the TiVo Acquisition. The three months ended March 31, 2017 also includes a $1.8 million payment to acquire a patent portfolio compared to a $2.5 million payment to acquire a patent portfolio in the prior year. We anticipate capital expenditures to grow our business and strengthen our operations infrastructure of between $45 million and $55 million in 2017.

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 includes the effect of refinancing Term Loan Facility B, the receipt of $11.7 million from the exercise of employee stock options and sales of stock through our employee stock purchase plan, $9.6 million in tax withholding payments from the net share settlement of restricted stock units and $1.8 million in principal payments on Term Loan Facility B. Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 also includes the payment of $21.7 million in dividends.

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 includes the receipt of $7.2 million from the exercise of employee stock options and sales of stock through our employee stock purchase plan and $1.8 million in principal payments on Term Loan Facility B.
    
On February 14, 2017, TiVo Corporation's Board of Directors approved an increase to the stock repurchase program authorization to $150.0 million. The February 2017 authorization includes amounts which were outstanding under previously authorized share repurchase programs.

On April 30, 2017, we declared a cash dividend of $0.18 per share, payable on June 20, 2017 to stockholders of record on June 6, 2017.

2020 Convertible Notes

Rovi issued $345.0 million in aggregate principal of 0.500% Convertible Notes that mature on March 1, 2020 at par pursuant to an Indenture dated March 4, 2015 (the "2015 Indenture").

40



The 2020 Convertible Notes were convertible at an initial conversion rate of 34.5968 shares of TiVo Corporation common stock per $1,000 of principal of notes, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of $28.9044 per share of TiVo Corporation common stock. As of March 31, 2017, the 2020 Convertible Notes are convertible at a conversion rate of 34.9200 shares of TiVo Corporation common stock per $1,000 principal of notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of 28.6369 per share of TiVo Corporation common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to adjustment pursuant to the 2015 Indenture, including as a result of dividends paid by TiVo Corporation.
    
Holders may convert the 2020 Convertible Notes prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2019, in multiples of $1,000 of principal under the following circumstances:
during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2015 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 of principal of 2020 Convertible Notes for each trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or
on the occurrence of specified corporate events.
    
On or after December 1, 2019 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert the 2020 Convertible Notes, in multiples of $1,000 of principal, at any time.

In addition, during the 35-day trading period following a Merger Event, as defined in the 2015 Indenture, holders may convert the 2020 Convertible Notes, in multiples of $1,000 of principal.

On conversion, a holder will receive the conversion value of the 2020 Convertible Notes converted based on the conversion rate multiplied by the volume-weighted average price of our common stock over a specified observation period. On conversion, Rovi will pay cash up to the aggregate principal of the 2020 Convertible Notes converted and deliver shares of our common stock in respect of the remainder, if any, of the conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal of the 2020 Convertible Notes being converted.

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain events, including certain events that constitute a "Make-Whole Fundamental Change" (as defined in the 2015 Indenture). In addition, if we undergo a "Fundamental Change" (as defined in the 2015 Indenture) prior to March 1, 2020, holders may require Rovi to repurchase for cash all or a portion of the 2020 Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal of the repurchased 2020 Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The conversion rate is also subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

The 2020 Convertible Notes are not redeemable prior to maturity by Rovi and no sinking fund is provided. The 2020 Convertible Notes are unsecured and do not contain financial covenants or restrictions on the payment of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the repurchase of other securities by Rovi. The 2015 Indenture includes customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default after which the 2020 Convertible Notes may be due and payable immediately.
    
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 ("the 2014 Indenture"). 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. Following the TiVo Acquisition, the 2021 Convertible Notes were convertible at a conversion rate of 21.6181 shares of TiVo Corporation common stock per $1,000 principal of notes and $154.30 per $1,000 principal of notes, which was equivalent to a conversion price of $39.12 per share of TiVo Corporation common stock. As of March 31, 2017, the 2021 Convertible Notes are convertible at a conversion rate of 21.8178 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 38.7620 per share of TiVo Corporation 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.


41


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.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On July 2, 2014, Rovi Corporation, as parent guarantor, and two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rovi Solutions Corporation and Rovi Guides, Inc., as borrowers, and certain of its other subsidiaries, as subsidiary guarantors, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). After the completion of the TiVo Acquisition, TiVo Corporation became a guarantor under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provided for a (i) five-year $125.0 million term loan A facility (the “Term Loan Facility A”), (ii) seven-year $700.0 million term loan B facility (the “Term Loan Facility B” and together with Term Loan Facility A, the “Term Loan Facility”) and (iii) five-year $175.0 million revolving credit facility (including a letter of credit sub-facility) (the "Revolving Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”). In September 2015, Rovi made a voluntary principal prepayment to extinguish Term Loan Facility A and elected to terminate the Revolving Facility.

Prior to the refinancing described below, Term Loan Facility B was amortizing in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1% of the original principal amount thereof, with any remaining balance payable on the final maturity date of Term Loan Facility B. Prior to the refinancing described below, loans under Term Loan Facility B bore interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either LIBOR, plus an applicable margin equal to 3.00% per annum (subject to a 0.75% LIBOR floor) or the prime lending rate, plus an applicable margin equal to 2.00% per annum.

On January 26, 2017, TiVo Corporation, as parent guarantor, two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rovi Solutions Corporation and Rovi Guides, Inc., as borrowers, and certain of TiVo Corporation’s other subsidiaries, as subsidiary guarantors, entered into Refinancing Agreement No. 1 with respect to Term Loan Facility B. The $682.5 million in proceeds from Refinancing Agreement No. 1 was used to repay existing loans under Term Loan Facility B in full. The borrowing terms for Refinancing Agreement No. 1 are substantially similar to the borrowing terms. However, loans under Refinancing Agreement No. 1 bear interest, at the borrower's option, at a rate equal to either LIBOR, plus an applicable margin equal to 2.50% per annum (subject to a 0.75% LIBOR floor) or the prime lending rate, plus an applicable margin equal to 1.50% per annum. Refinancing Agreement No. 1 requires quarterly principal payments of $1.75 million through June 2021, with any remaining balance payable in July 2021. Refinancing Agreement No. 1 is part of the Senior Secured Credit Facility,
    
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants applicable to us and our subsidiaries, including, among other things, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers, dispositions, prepayment of other indebtedness, dividends and other distributions. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. We may be required to make an additional payment on Refinancing Agreement No. 1 each February. This payment is calculated as a percentage of the prior year's "Excess Cash Flow" as defined in the Credit Agreement. No payment was required in February 2017.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Our estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Making estimates, assumptions and judgments about future events is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Management believes the estimates, assumptions and judgments employed and resulting amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ materially.

On January 1, 2017, we elected to early adopt a new accounting standard that eliminated the second step of the goodwill impairment test. As a result of adopting the change in accounting, a goodwill impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. For additional information, see Note 1 to the

42


Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Other than the adoption of the simplified goodwill impairment test, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those disclosed in "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Contractual Obligations

For information about our contractual obligations, see "Contractual Obligations" in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which is incorporated by reference herein.

On March 27, 2017, TiVo Corporation agreed to settle the claims of the Dissenting Holders for $117.0 million, which was paid in cash in April 2017. For additional details regarding the settlement with the Dissenting Holders, see Note 2 and Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated by reference herein. Other than the settlement with Dissenting Holders, our contractual obligations have not changed materially since December 31, 2016.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
    
For information about our off-balance sheet arrangements, see "Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements" in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which is incorporated by reference herein. Since December 31, 2016, we have not engaged in any material off-balance sheet arrangements, including the use of structured finance vehicles, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risks, including those related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and security prices that could impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which is incorporated reference herein. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2016.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). In evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

On September 7, 2016, we completed our acquisition of TiVo Solutions. As a result of the TiVo Acquisition, we have incorporated internal controls over significant processes specific to the acquisition and to post-acquisition activities that we believe are appropriate and necessary in consideration of the related integration, including controls associated with the TiVo Acquisition for the valuation of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the adoption of common financial reporting and internal control practices for the combined company. As we further integrate TiVo Solutions, we will continue to review our internal controls to validate that they are effective and integrated appropriately.

We are in the process of evaluating the existing controls and procedures of TiVo Solutions and integrating TiVo Solutions into our internal control over financial reporting. In accordance with SEC Staff guidance permitting a company to exclude an acquired business from management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting for the year in which the acquisition is completed, we excluded TiVo Solutions from our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We believe there have been no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
