ITEM 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 9, 2019, TiVo Corporation (the “Company” or “TiVo”) issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors has unanimously approved the pursuit of separation of its Product and IP Licensing businesses. The separation is expected to be effected through a spin-off of the Company’s Product business and operations from the Company’s IP Licensing business, with the Product business becoming a separately traded public company.

The Company has been reporting its Product and IP Licensing businesses separately in the Segment footnote of its financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K for many years. Adjusted EBITDA is the Company’s Segment measure of profitability and does not include any adjustments relating to the proposed spin-off. The Company does not allocate, and Segment Adjusted EBITDA does not include, certain general and administrative expenses, such as corporate management, finance, legal and human resources to its segments. The Company estimates that the stand-alone IP Company (“IP Co”) will have annual GAAP general and administrative expenses of $30 million and Non-GAAP G&A expenses of approximately $22 million. The Company also estimates that on a stand-alone basis IP Co will have annual GAAP selling and marketing expenses of $26 million and Non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses of approximately $22 million. This Non-GAAP estimate of selling and marketing expenses is approximately $5 million less than the amount of selling and marketing expenses that have been included in the IP Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019, due to the more focused effort required for an IP only sales organization. On a go forward basis IP Co will incur expenses to acquire new inventions to patent. The Company estimates IP Co will initially spend approximately $15 million a year to acquire these inventions or to purchase patents increasing to approximately $30 million overtime. In addition, for historical reporting purposes Analog Content Protection (“ACP”) revenue has been included in the Company’s Product Segment but will be retained by IP Co after the separation. ACP revenue for the twelve months ending March 31, 2019 was $6.4 million.

The Company also expects to include $75 million to $100 million in cash with the Product business when it is spun-out.

Forward Looking Statements

This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to, among other things, the success of the Company's plans to separate the Product and IP Licensing businesses into two independent companies, the stand-alone IP Company’s annual GAAP and non-GAAP general and administrative and selling and marketing expenses, and the amount of cash expected to be included in the Company’s Product business when it is spun out. These forward-looking statements are based on TiVo’s current expectations, estimates and projections about its business and industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by the company, all of which are subject to change. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as, “future”, "believe," "expect," "may," "will," "intend," "estimate," "continue," or similar expressions or the negative of those terms or expressions. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to vary materially from those expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially include delay or failure to accomplish the planned separation of the Company’s Product and IP Licensing businesses for any reason, changes in the amount and timing of general and administrative and selling and marketing expenses, and the amount of cash ultimately decided to be included in the Company’s Product business when it is spun out, as well as the other potential factors described under "Risk Factors" included in TiVo’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and other documents of TiVo Corporation on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (available at www.sec.gov). TiVo cautions you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect an analysis only and speak only as of the date hereof. TiVo assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this release, except as required by law.
