TiVo Adds Record Number of Subscribers and
Reports First Cash Flow Positive Quarter

 

Annual service and technology revenues more than tripled; total subscriber base grew 64% to approximately 624,000;

 

 

 

 

Fourth quarter service and technology revenue doubled compared to previous year; Q4 loss per share of $(0.25);

 

 

 

 

Sony, Toshiba and DIRECTV with Hughes, Philips and Samsung expected to deliver products powered by TiVo this year.

SAN JOSE, CA – March 6, 2003 – TiVo (NASDAQ: TIVO), the creator of television services for digital video recorders (DVR), today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended January 31, 2003.

TiVo added approximately 115,000 new subscribers in the fourth quarter, bringing the total subscriber base to approximately 624,000 as of January 31, 2003. The company’s subscriber base grew 64% during the fiscal year.

Service and technology revenue for the quarter increased 103% to $13.7 million, compared with $6.8 million for the three months ended January 31, 2002. Net loss for the quarter was $14.7 million, or $(0.25) per share, an improvement from a net loss of $41.6 million, or $(0.92) per share, for the three months ended January 31, 2002.  These quarterly net loss results exclude non-cash items related to the temporary reduction in the conversion price of our notes.

Service and technology revenue for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 grew 210% to $60.2 million, compared with $19.4 million for the twelve months ended January 31, 2002. Net loss for the year was $55.2 million, or $(1.08) per share compared to a net loss of $160.7 million, or $(3.74) per share for the twelve months ended January 31, 2002. These annual net loss results exclude items related to the repurchase of convertible preferred shares from AOL in April 2002 and also exclude non-cash items related to the temporary reduction in the conversion price of our notes.

TiVo generated $2.2 million of cash flow, as measured by Adjusted EBITDA, in the fourth quarter, compared to a loss of $23.8 million in the fourth quarter of last year. In fiscal year 2003, Adjusted EBITDA improved by nearly $80 million, to a loss of $21 million, compared to a loss of $100.4 million in fiscal year 2002.

“TiVo achieved important milestones during the year,” commented Mike Ramsay, TiVo’s CEO. “We delivered record subscriber growth, we added important consumer electronics companies who


have licensed TiVo technology and will deliver TiVo products this year, and we accomplished a key financial objective in Q4, reporting positive cash flow for the quarter.”

New Consumer Electronics Products With TiVo Planned in FY-04

In January, Samsung, Philips and Toshiba announced new consumer products that integrate the TiVo Service, joining Sony and Hughes. Toshiba unveiled its new DVD/DVR product with TiVo. Samsung and Philips announced that they will offer DIRECTV receivers with TiVo later this year. And existing partner Hughes announced at the Consumer Electronics Show that it will offer an HDTV receiver built on a new TiVo technology platform.

Home Media Option, TiVo Promotions, Advertising and Audience Measurement Expected to Generate Incremental Revenue

TiVo sees strong interest in the Home Media Option™, based on pre-sales inquiries. The new premium feature package promises to transform TiVo from a digital recording device to a networked entertainment center that allows consumers to effortlessly enjoy video, music and photos throughout the home.

TiVo Showcases continue to attract a blue-chip roster of advertisers who will distribute branded entertainment content on the TiVo Service. Recently, TiVo distributed promotional content for partners that included Universal Music, New Line Cinema, Sony Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, the NFL, PBS, Best Buy and others.

TiVo Affirms Fiscal Year 2004 Outlook: Management Expects Sub Growth to Double, Subscriber Base to Top 1 Million, Breakeven to Positive Cash Flow for the Year.

TiVo expects to add 450,000 to 600,000 subscribers in FY-04, more than double the number it added in FY-03. This would result in an installed base of well over 1 million subscribers by January 31, 2004, the end of TiVo’s fiscal year. Service and technology revenues are expected to be $62 million to $70 million. Total operating loss for the year is expected to be in a range of $27 million to $38 million, and the company expects Adjusted EBITDA to be breakeven to positive for the year.
