TiVo Third Quarter Subscription Growth Doubles;

Expects Continued Growth Momentum this Holiday Season

 

  TiVo subscription base reaches 2.3 million, twice the level of a year ago;

 

  Service revenues grew 73% over Q3 of last year;

 

  New DVD recorders, new service offerings, $99 offer, and advertising expected to drive record holiday demand

 

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Nov. 22, 2004 – TiVo (NASDAQ: TIVO), the creator of and a leader in television services for digital video recorders (DVRs), reported today that it added approximately 419,000 total subscriptions in the third quarter, over twice the number it added in Q3 of last year. In the past twelve months, the Company’s total installed base has more than doubled to approximately 2.3 million.

 

Service revenues for the quarter were $27.7 million, a 73% increase over Q3 of last year. Net loss for the quarter was ($26.4) million, or ($0.33) per share, compared to a net loss of ($7.4) million, or ($0.11) per share, for the three months ended October 31, 2003. The increase in net loss and net loss per share for the quarter reflects the Company’s previously announced investment in subscription acquisition activities to accelerate subscription growth during fiscal year 2005.

 

Q3 Subscription Growth Fueled by TiVo’s Strong Brand Position in Retail

 

TiVo added approximately 419,000 total net new subscriptions in the quarter. Of this total, approximately 316,000 resulted from TiVo’s relationship with DIRECTV, growth of 111% compared to last year’s Q3. New TiVo-Owned subscription additions in Q3 were 103,000, representing an increase of 75% compared to Q3 of last year.

 

“The overall subscription growth demonstrates that the demand for TiVo is strong, and the combined retail channel is thriving,” commented Mike Ramsay, Chairman and CEO of TiVo. “Today, TiVo is available in over 4,000 retail stores, and features a broad selection of DVRs at attractive pricing, making TiVo the must-have gift for consumers this holiday season.”


Management Provides Guidance for Q4

 

Management also provided guidance for a record 575,000 to 700,000 net new subscriptions in the quarter ending January 31, 2005. This includes 200,000 to 275,000 TiVo-Owned net additions, and 375,000 to 425,000 DIRECTV net additions in the period. For the fiscal year, this would result in record growth in new TiVo subscriptions, more than doubling the Company’s subscription base, and ending the year with approximately 3.0 million subscriptions.
