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, 2016.2017. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss 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, 2017,2018, 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.

The TiVo service is enabled through the use ofusing a DVR manufactured by a third-party contract manufacturer. The Company also relies on third-partiesthird 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.

Accounts Receivable

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to cash collection. A receivable related to revenue recognized for multi-year licenses is recognized when the Company has an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment in the future related to those licenses.

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, location of customer and the products or services offered, although terms generally require payment from a customer within 30 to 60 days. When the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of cash collection, an evaluation is performed to determine whether the contract includes a significant financing component. As the primary purpose of the Company's invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing products and services, significant financing components are generally not identified in the Company’s contracts with customers.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The Company reviews its accounts receivable to identify potential collection issues. A specific allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded when warranted by specific customer circumstances, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing, a deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position or the past due status of a receivable based on its contractual payment terms. If there are subsequent changes in circumstances related to the specific customer, adjustments to recoverability estimates are recorded. For accounts receivable not specifically reserved, an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based on historical loss experience and other currently available evidence. Accounts receivable deemed uncollectible are charged off when collection efforts have been exhausted.

Contract Assets

Contract assets primarily consist of revenue recognized in excess of the amount billed to the customer, limited to net realizable value and deferred engineering costs for significant software customization or modification and set-up services to the extent deemed recoverable. These contract assets are reclassified to Accounts receivable, net when the right to payment become unconditional.
Contract assets also include the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, principally sales commissions when the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer are recognized as an asset when the expected period of benefit is one year or more. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of time commensurate with the period of benefit, generally three to five years, which considers the transfer of goods or services to which the assets relate, technological developments during the period of benefit, customer history and other factors. The period of benefit is generally the estimated life of the customer relationship if renewals are expected, and may exceed the contract term. Amortization of the capitalized incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Contract assets are classified as current or noncurrent in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on when the asset is expected to be realized. Contract assets are subject to periodic impairment reviews.


Contract Liabilities, including Unearned Revenue

Contract liabilities are mainly comprised of unearned revenue related to consumer lifetime subscriptions to the TiVo service and multi-period licensing or cloud-based services and other offerings for which the Company is paid in advance of when control of the good or service is transferred to the customer. Unearned revenue also includes amounts related to professional services to be performed in the future. Unearned revenue arises when cash payments are received or due, including amounts which are refundable, in advance of performance. Contract liabilities exclude amounts expected to be refunded. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, location of customer and the products or services offered. For certain products or services and customer types, payment before the products or services are delivered to the customer is required.

Revenue Recognition

General
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services, which may include various combinations of goods and services which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of taxes collected from customers which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Depending on the terms of the contract, a portion of the consideration received may be deferred because of a requirement to satisfy a future obligation. Stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations is based on observable prices charged to customers for goods or services sold separately or the cost-plus-a-margin approach when observable prices are not available, considering overall pricing objectives.

Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations

Some of the Company’s contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the individual performance obligations are separately accounted for if they are distinct. In an arrangement with multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated among the separate performance obligations on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. The determination of stand-alone selling price considers market conditions, the size and scope of the contract, customer and geographic information, and other factors. The allocation of transaction price among performance obligations in a contract may impact the amount and timing of revenue recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during a given period.

Contract Modifications

Contracts may be modified due to changes in contract specifications or customer requirements. Contract modifications occur when the change in terms either creates new enforceable rights and obligations or changes existing enforceable rights and obligations. The effect of a contract modification for goods and services that are not distinct in the context of the contract on the transaction price is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. Contract modifications that result in goods or services that are distinct from the previously existing contract are accounted for prospectively.

Variable Consideration

When a contract with a customer includes a variable transaction price, an estimate of the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to for transferring the promised goods or services is made at contract inception. Depending on the terms of the contract, variable consideration is estimated using either the expected value approach or the most likely value approach. Under either approach to estimating variable consideration, the estimate considers all information (historical, current and forecast) that is reasonably available at contract inception. The amount of variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and updated as additional information becomes available. The estimate of variable consideration is included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Subsequent changes in the transaction price resulting from changes in the estimate of variable consideration are allocated to the performance obligations in the contract on the same basis as at contract inception.

Certain payments to retailers and distributors, such as market development funds and revenue shares, are treated as a reduction of the transaction price, and therefore revenue, rather than Selling, general and administrative expense. The reduction

of revenue is recognized at the later of when revenue is recognized for the transfer of the related goods or services to the customer or when the Company pays or promises to pay the consideration.

When variable consideration is in the form of a sales-based or usage-based royalty in exchange for a license of intellectual property, or when a license of intellectual property is the predominant item to which the variable consideration relates, revenue is recognized at the later of when the subsequent sale or usage occurs or the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based or usage-based royalty has been allocated has been satisfied or partially satisfied.

Significant Judgments

Determining whether promises to transfer multiple goods and services in contracts with customers are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately requires significant judgment, including related to the level of integration and interdependency between the performance obligations. In addition, judgment is necessary to allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations, including whether there is a discount or significant financing component to be allocated based on the relative stand-alone selling price of the various performance obligations.

Significant judgment is required to determine the stand-alone selling price for each distinct performance obligation when an observable price is not available. In instances where stand-alone selling price is not directly observable, such as when the Company does not sell the good or service separately, the stand-alone selling price is determined using a range of inputs that includes market conditions and other observable inputs. More than one stand-alone selling price may exist for individual goods and services due to the stratification of those goods and services, considering attributes such as the size of the customer and geographic region.

Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on some performance obligations, significant judgment may be required to determine the transaction price. It is common for the Company's license agreements to contain provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. These variable amounts are generally estimated based on usage or the achievement of performance metrics. In addition to estimating variable consideration, significant judgment is necessary to identify forms of variable consideration, determine whether the variable consideration relates to a sales-based or usage-based royalty of intellectual property and the determination of whether and when to include estimates of variable consideration in the transaction price.

Some hardware products are sold with a right of return and in other circumstances, other credits or incentives may be provided such as consideration (sales incentives) given to customers or resellers, which are accounted for as variable consideration and recognized as a reduction to the revenue recognized. Estimates of returns, credits and incentives are made at contract inception and updated each reporting period.

In contracts where the Company does not host the TiVo service and that include engineering services that are essential to the functionality of the licensed technology or involve significant customization or modification of software, the Company recognizes revenue as progress toward completion occurs using an input method based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs of the project. Significant judgment is required to estimate the remaining effort to complete the project. These estimates are reassessed throughout the term of the arrangement.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, inputs and assumptions related to revenue recognition. Using different estimates, inputs or assumptions may materially affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the results of operations for the reporting period.

Nature of goods and services

The following is a discussion of the principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue.

Patent Licensing Agreements

The Company licenses its discovery patent portfolio to traditional pay TV providers, virtual service providers, OTT video providers, CE manufacturers and others. The Company licenses its patented technology portfolio under two revenue models: (i) fixed fee arrangements and (ii) per-unit royalty licenses.

The Company's long-term fixed-fee license agreements provide rights to future patented technologies over the term of the agreement that are highly interdependent or highly interrelated to the patented technologies provided at the inception of the

agreement. The Company treats these rights as a single performance obligation with revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related license agreement.

At times, the Company enters into license agreements in which a licensee is released from past patent infringement claims and is granted a license to ship an unlimited number of units over a future period for a fixed fee. In these arrangements, the Company allocates the transaction price between the release for past patent infringement claims and the future license. In determining the stand-alone selling price of the release for past patent infringement claims and the future license, the Company considers such factors as the number of units shipped in the past and in what geographies these units were shipped, the number of units expected to be shipped in the future and in what geographies these units are expected to be shipped, as well as the licensing rate the Company generally receives for units shipped in the same geographies. As the release from past patent infringement claims is generally satisfied at execution of the agreement, the transaction price allocated to the release from past patent infringement claims is generally recognized in the period the agreement is executed and the amount of transaction price allocated to the future license is recognized ratably over the future license term.

The Company recognizes revenue from per-unit royalty licenses in the period in which the licensee's sales are estimated to have occurred, which results in an adjustment to revenue when actual sales are subsequently reported by its licensees, which is generally in the month or quarter following usage or shipment. The Company generally recognizes revenue from per-unit royalty licenses on a per-subscriber per-month model for licenses with service providers and a per-unit shipped model for licenses with CE manufacturers.

Arrangements with Multiple System Operators for the TiVo Service

The Company's arrangements with multiple system operators ("MSOs") typically include software customization and set-up services, associated maintenance and support, limited training, post-contract support, TiVo-enabled DVRs, non-DVR set-top boxes ("STBs") and the TiVo service.

The Company has two types of arrangements with MSOs that include technology deployment and engineering services. In instances where the Company hosts the TiVo service, non-refundable payments received for customization and set-up services are deferred and recognized as revenue over the contractual term. The related cost of such services is capitalized to the extent it is deemed recoverable and amortized to cost of revenues over the same period as the related TiVo service revenue is recognized. The Company estimates the stand-alone selling prices for training, DVRs, non-DVR STBs and maintenance and support based on the price charged in stand-alone sales of the promised good or service. The stand-alone selling price for the TiVo service is determined considering the size of the MSO and expected volume of deployment, market conditions, competitive landscape, internal costs and total gross margin objectives. For a term license to the TiVo service, the Company receives license fees for the hosted TiVo service on either a per-subscriber per-month basis or a fixed fee. The Company recognizes revenue from per-subscriber per-month licenses during the month it provides the TiVo service to the customer and recognizes revenue from fixed fee licenses ratably over the license period.

In arrangements where the Company does not host the TiVo service and that include engineering services that are essential to the functionality of the licensed technology or involve significant customization or modification of the software, the Company recognizes revenue as progress toward completion is made using an input method based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs of the project. Project costs are primarily labor related to the specific activities required for the project. Costs related to general infrastructure or uncommitted platform development are not included in the project cost estimates and are expensed as incurred. Estimating project costs requires forecasting costs, tracking progress toward completion and projecting the remaining effort to complete the project. These estimates are reassessed throughout the term of the arrangement, and revisions to estimates are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis when the changed conditions become known. Provisions for losses are recorded when estimates indicate it is probable that a loss will be incurred for the contract. The Company generally recognizes revenue from license fees for the TiVo service that it does not host on a per-subscriber per-month basis due to the recognition constraint on intellectual property usage-based royalties.
Subscription Services Revenues

Subscription services revenues primarily consist of fees that provide customers access to one or more of the Company's hosted products such as its i-Guide IPG, advanced search and recommendations, metadata and analytics products, including routine customer support. The Company generally receives per-subscriber per-month fees for its i-Guide IPG and search and recommendations service and revenue is recorded in the month the customer uses the service. The Company generally receives a monthly or quarterly fee from its metadata or analytics licenses for the right to use its metadata or access its analytics platform and to receive regular updates. Revenue from the Company's metadata and analytics service is recognized ratably over the contract period.

Passport Revenues

               The Company licenses its Passport IPG software to pay TV providers in North and South America. The Company generally receives per-subscriber per-month fees for licenses to its Passport IPG software and support. Due to the usage-based royalty provisions of the revenue recognition guidance, revenue is generally recognized in the month the customer uses the software.

Advertising

The Company generates advertising revenue through its IPGs. Advertising revenue is recognized when the related advertisement is provided. Advertising revenue is recorded net of agency commissions and revenue shares with service providers and CE manufacturers.

TiVo-enabled DVRs and TiVo Service

The Company sells TiVo-enabled DVRs and the related service directly to customers through sales programs via the TiVo.com website and licenses the sale of TiVo-enabled DVRs through a limited number of retailers. For sales through the TiVo.com website, the customer receives a DVR and commits to either a minimum subscription period of one year or for the lifetime of the DVR. After the initial subscription period, customers have various pricing options when they renew their subscription. Customers have the right to return the DVR within 30 days of purchase. Customers have the right to cancel their subscription to the TiVo service within 30 days of subscription activation for a full refund. For licensed sales of TiVo-enabled DVRs through retailers, the customer commits to either a minimum subscription period of one year or for the lifetime of the DVR.
The stand-alone selling price for the TiVo service is established based on stand-alone sales of the service and varies by the length of the service period. The stand-alone selling price of the DVR is determined based on the price for which the Company would sell the DVR without any service commitment from the customer.

The transaction price allocated to the DVR is recognized as revenue on delivery and the transaction price allocated to the TiVo service is recognized as revenue ratably over the service period. Subscription revenues from lifetime subscriptions are recognized ratably over the estimated useful life of the DVR associated with the subscription. The estimated useful life for a DVR depends on a number of assumptions, including, but not limited to, customer retention rates, the timing of new product introductions and historical experience. As of June 30, 2018, the Company recognizes revenue for lifetime subscriptions over a 66-month period. The Company periodically reassesses the estimated useful life of a DVR. When the actual useful life of the DVR materially differs from the Company's estimate, the estimated useful life of the DVR is adjusted, which could result in the recognition of revenue over a longer or shorter period of time.
Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control of a DVR has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in Cost of hardware revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets as incurred.

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 subject to service conditions.


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 iswas effective for the Company in the first quarter ofon January 1, 2018 and was applied on a prospective basis, with early application permitted. The Company doesbasis. Application of this guidance did not expect application of the clarified definition of a business to have a materialan effect on itsthe 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 areamendment was effective for the Company in the first quarter ofon January 1, 2018 and is required to bewas applied on a modified retrospective basis. Early application is permitted. The Company is evaluatingApplication of this guidance did not have an effect on 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 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018

and was applied on a retrospective basis. Application of this guidance did not have an effect on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB provided guidance for the derecognition of prepaid stored-value product liabilities, such as gift cards. Pursuant to this guidance, among other criteria, prepaid stored-value product liabilities are eligible to be derecognized when the likelihood of redemption becomes remote. The guidance was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and was applied using a modified retrospective approach. On adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment, net of tax effects, of $2.2 million that reduced Accumulated deficit for prepaid stored-value product liabilities where the likelihood of redemption was deemed to be remote at the adoption date.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an amended accounting standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the amended revenue recognition guidance is for an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer ofpromisedgoods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled inexchange for those goods or services. The amendments also require enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. In addition, the FASB amended its guidance related to the capitalization and amortization of the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. The Company adopted the amended revenue and cost recognition guidance on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition approach. On adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment, net of tax effects, that reduced Accumulated deficit by $27.9 million for the effects of the amended revenue recognition guidance and reduced Accumulated deficit by $1.3 million for the effects of capitalizing incremental costs to obtain contracts with customers. The significant differences giving rise to the cumulative effect adjustments are described in Note 5. Results for periods beginning after December 31, 2017 are presented under the amended revenue and cost recognition guidance, while prior period amounts were not restated and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company's previous revenue and cost recognition policies.

Standards Pending Adoption

In March 2017, the FASB shortened the amortization period for certain investments in 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 2018 and is required to be appliedon January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. Earlybasis, with early application is permitted. The Company is evaluatingdoes not expect application of the shortened amortization period to have a material 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 updated guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020 and is effective using a modified retrospective approach for the provisions related to application of the current expected credit loss model to financial instruments and a prospective approach for the provisions related to 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 financingoperating and operatingfinancing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet. For operating leases, a lessee recognizes its total lease expense as an operating expense over the lease term. 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 totalThe difference between the right-of-use asset and lease expenseliabilities, net of any previously recognized lease-related assets and liabilities and any resulting deferred tax impact, is recognized as an operating expense overadjustment to retained earnings on the

The amendments address how revenue is recognized in ordernot expected to improve comparability betweenmaterially affect the financial statements of companies applying U.S. GAAP and International FinancialReporting Standards. The core principle of the amended revenue standard is for an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer ofpromisedgoods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled inexchange for those goods or services. In addition, the amended revenue recognition standard provides guidance related to the capitalization and amortization of the incremental costs of obtaining a contract. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The amendments are effective for the Company in the first quarter of2018 and may be applied using a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. The Company expects to initially apply the amendments in the first quarter of2018 and is evaluatingthe effect the amendments and transition alternatives will have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

While the Company has not finalized its evaluationStatements of the effect that the amended revenue recognition standard will have on itsOperations, Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Comprehensive Loss or the Company expects that revenue from both its fixed-fee and per-unit intellectual property licensees may be materially impacted. Under the amended revenue recognition standard, the Company may be required to recognize a substantial portionCondensed Consolidated Statements 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 by the licensee occurred. On adoption of the amended revenue recognition standard, 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. In accordance with existing U.S. GAAP, cost deferrals related to obtaining a contract are minimal; however, under the amended revenue recognition standard, the deferral of incremental costs to obtain a contract are expected to be more significant and may be amortized over period of time commensurate with the period of benefit which may exceed the contract term. The Company is currently assessing the types and amounts of costs that may be eligible for deferral under the amended revenue recognition standard, and the associated amortization period. The Company has not selected a transition approach.Cash Flows.

(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 June 30, 2017, TiVo Corporation's results include revenue and operating income from TiVo Solutions of $94.9 million and $8.5 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, TiVo Corporation's results include revenue and operating loss from TiVo Solutions of $179.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

On March 27, 2017, TiVo Corporation agreedexecuted a settlement agreement with the Dissenting Holders to settle thetheir 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 settlementTiVo Acquisition litigation loss of $12.9 million was recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The Litigation settlement loss represents the settlement amount in excess of the amount due to the Dissenting Holders as merger consideration.

Purchase Price Allocation
(3) Discontinued Operations

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 allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed generally 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 June 30, 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.

Changes to the purchase price allocation for the period from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017 were as follows (in thousands):

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 achievementexpiration of certain revenue milestones overindemnification obligations and the three years followingexecution of settlement agreements during 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.period associated with previous business disposals.

(5) Revenues

Adoption of Amended Revenue and Cost Recognition Guidance

The Company adopted the provisions of the amended revenue recognition guidance described in Note 1 using the modified retrospective transition approach on January 1, 2018. As such, the amended revenue recognition guidance was applied to those contracts which were not completed as of December 31, 2017. Results for periods beginning after December 31, 2017 are presented under the amended revenue recognition guidance, while prior period amounts were not restated and continue to be reported in accordance with the previous revenue recognition guidance.

In addition, the Company adopted amended guidance related to the capitalization and amortization of incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer and guidance for the de-recognition of prepaid stored-value product liabilities, such as gift cards, each as described in Note 1 using the modified retrospective transition approach on January 1, 2018.

The cumulative effect of these changes on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on adoption was as follows (in thousands):

Accumulated deficit1,392,651
 (27,913) (1,344) (2,155) 1,361,239

The most significant impact of the amended revenue recognition guidance relates to the accounting for software arrangements. Under prior industry-specific software revenue recognition guidance, when the Company concluded it did not have vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of fair value for the undelivered elements of an arrangement, revenue was deferred until the last element without VSOE was delivered. The amended revenue recognition guidance eliminated the concept of VSOE of fair value. The amended revenue recognition guidance requires an evaluation of whether the undelivered elements are distinct performance obligations and, therefore, should each be recognized separately when delivered. On adoption of the amended revenue recognition guidance, the Company accounted for the software and support elements of the TiVo Solutions international MSO agreements as two distinct performance obligations. These agreements contain minimum guarantees, and on adoption of the amended revenue recognition guidance, $34.4 million of these minimums were recorded as an increase in Accounts receivable, net and a reduction to Accumulated deficit as the software was delivered prior to the date of adoption.

The amended revenue recognition guidance also requires the Company to record revenue related to fixed-fee patent licensing agreements that do not provide the right to future patented technologies acquired by the Company during the term of the license when access to the existing patented technology is granted to the licensee. Under prior revenue recognition guidance, the Company recognized revenue from this type of fixed-fee license agreement on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. On adoption of the amended revenue recognition guidance, the Company recorded a $10.2 million reduction in Unearned revenue and Accumulated deficit for this type of fixed-fee license agreement.

The amended revenue recognition guidance includes specific guidance for contract modifications. Based on the nature of the modification, the revenue recognized for the contract may be updated on a cumulative catch-up basis on execution of the modification or updated prospectively as a result of the modification. For certain contract modifications, this accounting treatment differs from the accounting treatment in accordance with previous revenue recognition guidance.

Prior to the adoption of the amended revenue recognition guidance, the Company recognized revenue from per-unit royalty licenses with certain CE manufacturers and third party IPG providers in the period the licensee reported its sales to the Company, which was generally in the month or quarter after the underlying sales by the licensee occurred. On adoption of the amended revenue recognition guidance, revenue from per-unit royalty licenses is recognized in the period in which the

licensee's sales are estimated to have occurred, limited to the amount of revenue that is not subject to a significant risk of reversal, which results in an adjustment to revenue when actual amounts are subsequently reported by the Company's licensees.

Pursuant to the amended cost capitalization guidance, incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer are capitalized and amortized over a period of time commensurate with the expected period of benefit, which may exceed the contract term. Prior to the adoption of the amended cost capitalization guidance, the Company expensed incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer as incurred.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

The Company applies a practical expedient to not perform an evaluation of whether a contract includes a significant financing component when the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of cash collection by one year or less.

The Company applies a practical expedient to expense costs to obtain a contract with a customer as incurred as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses when the amortization period would have been one year or less.

The Company applies a practical expedient when disclosing revenue expected to be recognized from unsatisfied performance obligations to exclude contracts with customers with an original duration of less than one year, contracts for which revenue is recognized based on the amount which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed and amounts attributable to variable consideration arising from (i) a sales-based or usage-based royalty of an intellectual property license or (ii) when variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service that forms part of a single performance obligation.

Revenue Details

The following tables depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors by disaggregating revenue by product offering (in Note 15), significant customer, contract-type and geographic area. These tables include revenue recognized from contracts with customers and revenue from other sources, including out-of-license settlements. As noted above, amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 have not been adjusted to reflect adoption of the amended revenue recognition guidance.

Contract Balances

Contract assets primarily consist of revenue recognized in excess of the amount billed to the customer, limited to net realizable value and deferred engineering costs for significant software customization or modification and set-up services to the extent deemed recoverable. Contract assets also include the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, principally sales commissions when the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission. Following adoption of the amended revenue recognition guidance, contract assets were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows (in thousands):
 June 30, 2018 January 1, 2018
Accounts receivable, net$65,888
 $68,858
Prepaid expenses and other current assets1,424

Total contract assets, net$74,699
 $76,808

No impairment losses were recognized with respect to contract assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Contract liabilities are mainly comprised of unearned revenue related to consumer lifetime subscriptions for the TiVo service and multi-period licensing or cloud-based services and other offerings for which the Company is paid in advance of when control of the promised good or service is transferred to the customer. Unearned revenue also includes amounts related to professional services to be performed in the future. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized $13.4 million and $27.7 million, respectively, of revenue that had been included in Unearned revenue as of December 31, 2017.

As of June 30, 2018, approximately $906.4 millionof revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations that are primarily related to fixed-fee intellectual property and software-as-a-service agreements, of which approximately 13.1% is expected to be recognized as revenue over the remainder of 2018.

(6)(7) 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.

The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

In May 2017, TiVo Corporation vacated a portion of a leased facility as part of its ongoing TiVo Integration Restructuring Plan (as described in Note 8) resulting in a $6.7 million loss on the impairment of certain property and equipment, principally leasehold improvements. The fair value of the impaired assets was estimated using a discounted cash flow technique that incorporated among other items, the timing$0.2 million and amount of expected future cash flows associated with the assets, income tax rates, and economic and market conditions, as well as a risk adjusted discount rate. The fair value of the impaired assets would be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.$0.4 million, respectively.

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 partythird-party pricing service.

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 risk-adjusted 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.

As of June 30, 2017, the 2020 Convertible Notes are convertible at a conversion rate of 35.2777 shares of TiVo Corporation common stock per $1,000 principal of notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of $28.3465 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. As of June 30, 2018, the 2020 Convertible Notes are convertible at a conversion rate of 36.9520shares of TiVo Corporation common stock per $1,000 principal of notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of $27.0621 per share of TiVo Corporation common stock.

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 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

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. Related to the 2020 Convertible Notes, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included the following (in thousands):

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 in 2015, Rovi paid $64.8 million to purchase call options with respect to its common stock. The call options gave TiVo Corporation the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to 11.9 million shares of TiVo Corporation's common stock at an exercise price of $28.9044 per share, which 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 exercise price is subject to adjustment, including as a result of dividends paid by TiVo Corporation. As of June 30, 2017,2018, the call options give TiVo Corporation the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to 12.212.7 million shares of TiVo Corporation's common stock at an exercise price of $28.3465$27.0621 per share. The exercise price is subject to adjustment, including as a result of dividends paid by TiVo Corporation. 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 in 2015, 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 an exercise price of $40.1450 per share. As of June 30, 2017, the warrants have an exercise price of $39.3701 per share. The exercise price is subject to adjustment, including as a result of dividends paid by TiVo Corporation. As of June 30, 2018, 12.4 million warrants were outstanding with an exercise price of $37.5863 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 (as supplemented, "the 2014 Indenture"). The 2021 Convertible Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 2.0%, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1

and October 1 of each year, commencing April 2015. On October 12, 2016, TiVo Solutions repaid $229.95 million of the par value of the 2021 Convertible Notes.

The 2021 Convertible Notes were convertible at an initial conversion rate of 56.1073 shares of TiVo Solutions common stock per $1,000 principal of notes, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of $17.8230 per share of TiVo Solutions common stock. 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. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to adjustment pursuant to the 2014 Indenture, including as a result of dividends paid by TiVo Corporation. As of June 30, 2017,2018, the 2021 Convertible Notes are convertible at a conversion rate of 22.053423.0879 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 $38.3478$36.6296 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 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 six months ended June 30, 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 werewas 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 2017.2018.

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 an interest rate swapsswap or may terminate a previously executed interest rate swap if it believes a larger proportion of floating-rate debt would be beneficial. The Company has not designated any of its interest rate swaps as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company records interest rate swaps in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as LossGain (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 ofbased on its master netting

(11) Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

In August 2016, Rovi entered into a 10-year patent license agreement with 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 second quarter of 2017 and $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 Corporation and DISH Network Corporation (together, "EchoStar"), 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 andor adjust the Company’s requirementspurchase commitments based on its business needs prior to firm orders being placed. As of June 30, 2017,2018, the Company had total purchase commitments for inventory of $12.1$3.9 million, of which $1.3$1.0 million was accrued in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company provides indemnifications of varying scopes and amounts to certain of its licensees against claims made by third parties arising out of the use and / or incorporation of the Company's products, intellectual property, services and / or technologies into the licensees' products and services. TiVo Solutions has also indemnified certain customers and business partners for, among other things, the licensing of its products, the sale of its DVRs, and the provision of engineering and consulting services. The Company’s obligation to provide indemnifications under its indemnification 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 offrom 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 operatorsMSO and digital broadcast satellite providers, have larger limits or do not specify a limit on amounts that may be payable under the indemnity arrangements. 

The Company cannot reasonably estimate the possible range of losses that may be incurred pursuant to its indemnification obligations, if any. Variables affecting any such assessment include but are not limited to: the nature of the claim asserted; the relative merits of the claim; the financial ability of the party suing the indemnified party to engage in protracted litigation; the number of parties seeking indemnification; the nature and amount of damages claimed by the party suing the indemnified party; and the willingness of such party to engage in settlement negotiations. Due to the nature of the

Company's potential indemnity liability, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements could be materially adversely affected in a particular period by one or more of these indemnities.

Under certain circumstances, TiVo Solutions may seek to recover some or all amounts paid to an indemnified party from its insurers. TiVo Solutions does not have any assets held either as collateral or by third parties that, on the occurrence of

an event requiring it to indemnify a customer, 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 ismay be 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. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

On June 15, 2011, TNS Media Research, LLC (d/b/a Kantar Media Audiences, or Kantar) brought a claim for declaratory judgment against TRA Global Inc. (which was acquired by TiVo Inc. in July 2012 and renamed TiVo Research and Analytics, Inc. or TiVo Research) in U.S. District Court alleging non-infringement of a TiVo Research patent, among other claims. TiVo Research responded by alleging affirmative defenses as well as counterclaims alleging infringement by Kantar of the TiVo Research patent at issue and one other patent. On February 22, 2016, the District Court granted Kantar's summary judgment motion on invalidity under Section 101 as to each of TiVo Research's asserted patent claims. On May 18, 2018, the District Court granted Kantar’s motion for attorneys' fees and expenses related to TiVo Research’s patent claims in this action.  In the third quarter of 2018, TiVo Research and Kantar agreed to settle the patent claims between them for a payment of $4.5 million by TiVo Research to Kantar and transfer of ownership of the two patents at issue to Kantar.

The Company believes it has recorded adequate provisions for any such matters and, as of June 30, 2017,2018, 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 Given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the ultimate outcome of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("Section 262") inongoing matters described herein cannot be predicted with certainty. While litigation is inherently unpredictable, the Court of Chancery ofCompany believes it has valid defenses with respect to the State of Delaware covering a total of 1.9 million shares of common stock of TiVo Solutions in connection withlegal matters pending against it. Nevertheless, 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 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, toCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements could be paidmaterially adversely affected in a combinationparticular period by the resolution of a current cash payment and potential future service fees.one or more of these contingencies.

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.

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 of common stock 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 $28.3465$27.0621 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 $18.65$13.45 per share on June 30, 2017,2018, the if-converted value of the 2020 Convertible Notes was less than the outstanding principal.

Under the treasury stock method, theThe 2020 Convertible Notes would be dilutive if the Company’s common stock closesclosed at or above $28.3465$27.0621 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 910 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 910 have an effect on Diluted EPS when the Company’s share price exceeds the warrant’s strike price of $39.3701$37.5863 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 stockshare repurchase program authorization to $150.0 million. The February 2017 authorization includes amounts which were outstanding under previously

authorized share repurchase programs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, no shares were repurchased under the share repurchase program. As of June 30, 2017,2018, the Company had $150.0 million of stockshare repurchase authorization remaining.

The Company issues restricted awardsstock and restricted stock units (collectively, "restricted awards") as part of the equity incentiveequity-based compensation plans described in Note 12.13. For the majority of restricted awards, shares are withheld to satisfy required withholding taxes at the vesting date. Shares withheld to satisfy required withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted awards are treated as common stock repurchases in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements because they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued on vesting. However, these withheld shares are not considered common stock repurchases under the Company's authorized share repurchase plan. During the three months ended June 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, the Company withheld 0.1 million and 16.8 thousand0.1 million shares of common stock to satisfy $1.7$1.3 million and $0.3$1.7 million of required withholding taxes, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, the Company withheld 0.60.3 million and 0.20.6 million shares of common stock to satisfy $11.3$4.2 million and $4.0$11.3 million of required withholding taxes, respectively.

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

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

For awards subject to a

market vesting condition, the fair value per award is fixed at the grant date and the amount of compensation expense is not adjusted during the performance period based onregardless of changes in the level of achievement of a relative Total Shareholder Return metric. 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.market condition.

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 monthtwenty-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 June 30, 2017,2018, the Company had 6.45.2 million shares of common stock reserved and 5.2 million shares available for issuance under the ESPP.

Valuation Techniques and Assumptions

The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formulaCompany's restricted awards are generally not eligible for dividend protection. Prior to estimateand including February 14, 2017, 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. AsSubsequent to February 14, 2017, the fair value of 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 unitsawards subject to market conditions.conditions with expected volatility estimated using the historical volatility of the Company's common stock.

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'sthe closing price of the Company's common stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price of the stock option, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options.

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised is the difference between the market price of the sharesCompany's common stock at the time of exercise and the exercise price of the stock option multiplied by the number of stock options

exercised. No stock options were exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was $0.6 million. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2016 was immaterial. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $2.0 million and $0.6$2.0 million, respectively.

The Company believes it has provided adequate reserves for all tax deficiencies or reductions in tax benefits that could result from U.S. federal, state and foreign tax audits. The Company regularly assesses the potential outcomes of these audits in order to determine the appropriateness of its tax provision.positions. Adjustments to accruals for unrecognized tax benefits are made to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular income tax audit. However, income tax audits are inherently unpredictable and there can be no assurance 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.

Tax Act of 2017

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act of 2017”) was signed into law. The Tax Act of 2017 enacted comprehensive tax reform that made broad and complex changes to the U.S. federal income tax code which affect 2017, including, but not limited to requiring a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries that is payable over eight years (the "Transition Tax"). The Tax Act of 2017 also establishes new tax laws which affect 2018 and later years, including, but not limited to, a reduction of the U.S. federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%, a general elimination of U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries and a new provision designed to tax global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), a limitation of the deductibility of interest expense, a limitation of the deduction for newly generated net operating losses to 80% of current year taxable income and the elimination of net operating loss carrybacks.

On December 22, 2017, the SEC Staff issued guidance to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations where a registrant does not have the necessary information to complete the accounting for certain effects of the Tax Act of 2017. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had not completed its accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act of 2017. Where the Company has made reasonable estimates of the effect, but for which the analysis is not yet complete, the Company has recorded provisional amounts based on information available as of June 30, 2018. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the provisional amounts recognized as of December 31, 2017 were adjusted as described below. Where the Company has not been able to make reasonable estimates of the effect the Tax Act of 2017, no amounts have been recognized and the Company has continued to account for those items based on the tax laws in effect immediately prior to enactment of the Tax Act of 2017. The items described below, including the provisional items, are subject to change as additional information becomes available, limited to a measurement period of one year from enactment of the Tax Act of 2017.

The Transition Tax on unrepatriated foreign earnings is a tax on previously untaxed accumulated and current earnings and profits (“E&P”) of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Based on the amount of post-1986 E&P of the Company's foreign subsidiaries, as well as the amount of non-U.S. income taxes paid on such earnings, during the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company revised its estimate of the Transition Tax from $33.8 millionto $33.7 million, which is fully offset by net

operating losses resulting in no estimated net U.S. federal Transition Tax expense. The Company has also revised its estimate for the U.S. state tax expense for those states which have enacted laws to conform with the Tax Act of 2017. As of June 30, 2018, this amount is estimated to be less than $0.1 million, which is substantially offset by state net operating losses, resulting in no estimated net state Transition Tax expense. To complete its estimate of the Transition Tax, the Company must complete its calculation of E&P, complete its calculation of the effects on U.S. states whose laws conform with the Tax Act of 2017, determine whether to offset the Transition Tax with foreign tax credits, and make a final determination of historical non-U.S. income taxes paid and/or accrued.

The Tax Act of 2017 requires that certain income (i.e., GILTI) earned by foreign subsidiaries must be included currently in the gross income of the U.S. shareholder. Due to the complexity of the GILTI rules and the lack of clear guidance on federal and state application of the GILTI rules, as of June 30, 2018, the Company has not completed its analysis of the tax impacts of the GILTI, but has recorded a provisional amount of $0.4 millionduring the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The tax effect of GILTI is fully offset by the Company’s net operating losses, resulting in no net U.S. federal income tax expense from GILTI. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company is permitted to make an accounting policy election to either treat taxes due on future inclusions in U.S. taxable income related to GILTI as a component of current income tax expense when incurred or to factor such amounts into the Company’s measurement of its deferred tax expense. The Company has made an accounting policy election to treat GILTI as a component of current income tax expense.

The Tax Act of 2017 created a minimum tax on corporations for payments to related foreign persons (referred to as the base erosion and anti-abuse tax ("BEAT")). Due to the complexity of the BEAT rules and the lack of clear guidance on federal and state application of the BEAT rules, including rules on the ability to use loss carryovers to offset BEAT liability, the Company has not completed its analysis of the effects of the BEAT as of June 30, 2018. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company provisionally estimated it has no BEAT liability.

As a result of the Tax Act of 2017, during the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company changed its assertion regarding the indefinite reinvestment of undistributed foreign earnings. In the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company accrued a Transition Tax liability for U.S. federal and certain state income taxes on its non-U.S. subsidiaries’ previously undistributed foreign earnings. The nature of the Transition Tax is that undistributed foreign earnings are now considered previously taxed income ("PTI") for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, because the PTI was previously taxed, any repatriation of PTI is not subject to additional U.S. federal income tax. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company determined that a distribution of PTI would still be subject to taxes in some U.S. states and subject to foreign withholding taxes, and has recorded provisional amounts of less than $0.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, related to these taxes. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company revised its assertion regarding indefinite reinvestment of undistributed earnings such that it now asserts only undistributed earnings in excess of PTI are indefinitely reinvested. The Company previously asserted that all of its foreign undistributed earnings were indefinitely reinvested.

(14)(15) Segment Information

Reportable segments are identified based on the Company's organizational structure and information reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to evaluate performance and allocate resources. The Company's operations are organized into two reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Product and Intellectual Property Licensing 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.Licensing. The Product segment consists primarily of licensing Company-developed IPGUX products and services to multi-channel video service providers and CE manufacturers, in-guide advertising revenue, data 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 The Intellectual Property Licensing segment consists primarily of licensing the Company's patent portfolio to US Pay TV ProvidersU.S. and Other to better portray its growth strategy. Revenue from US Pay TV Providers includes directinternational pay-television providers (directly and indirect licensing of multi-channel linear video programming regardless of the particular distribution technology (e.g.through their suppliers), 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 Corporatecorporate costs. Corporate costs primarily include general and administrative costs such as corporate management, finance, legal and human resources. The CODM uses an Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) measure to evaluate the performance of, and allocate resources to, the segments. Segment balance sheets are not used by the CODM to allocate resources or assess performance.

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: Product and Intellectual Property LicensingLicensing. The Product segment consists primarily of licensing Company-developed user experience ("UX") products and Product. services to multi-channel video service providers and consumer electronics ("CE") manufacturers, in-guide advertising, analytics, 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 UX products, the TiVo service and selling TiVo-enabled devices. Software and Services includes revenue from licensing our metadata, advanced search and recommendation and data 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.

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 twothree verticals based primarily on the business of our customer: US Pay TV Providers; CE Manufacturers; and New Media, International Pay TV Providers and Other. Revenue from US Pay TV Providers includes direct and indirect licensing of multi-channel linear video programmingtraditional US Pay TV Providers regardless of the particular distribution technology (e.g., cable, satellite or the internet). Specifically, thisRevenue from CE Manufacturers includes the licensing of our patents to traditional CE manufacturers. New Media,

International Pay TV providersProviders and internet-based Pay TV providers based in the U.S. Other revenue includes licensing to international Paypay TV providers, virtual service providers, mobile device manufacturers CE manufacturers and on-demand OTT video providers.

The Product segment consists primarily of the licensing of Company-developed IPG productscontent 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 data

Total Revenues, net for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased2018 decreased by 67%17% compared to the prior year primarily as a result of a $15.2 million decrease in revenue from TiVo Solutions agreements that were entered into with AT&T, DirecTV and EchoStar prior to the TiVo Acquisition Date as including TiVo Solutions' results fora result of adopting the period increasedamended revenue by $94.9 million. Total Revenues, net also increased compared torecognition guidance on January 1, 2018 and contract expirations, a $6.3 million decrease in Hardware revenue primarily resulting from a planned transition away from the prior year due to licenses executedhardware business, a $6.1 million decrease in 2016 with large US Pay TV Providers. These revenue increases were partially offset by higher catch-up payments included in patent license agreements intended to make us whole for the pre-license period of use in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and a decline$4.6 million decrease in metadata and advertising revenue.revenue from two international multiple system operators ("MSO") software customers as a result of adopting the amended revenue recognition guidance. For additional details on the changes in Total Revenues, net, see the discussion of our segment results below.

Our Intellectual Property Licensing contractagreement with Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") expired on March 31, 2016. Our Product relationship with Comcast, primarily a metadata license, remains in effect throughexpired on September 30, 2017. The expiration of our intellectual property license with Comcast, as well as litigation initiated against Comcast, may resulthas resulted in a reduction of revenue and an increase in litigation costs. While the Company anticipates thatwe anticipate 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 in which a new license is executed is uncertain and will dependdepends 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,have increased, 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 June 30, 2017,2018, our Net lossLoss from continuing operations, net of tax was $4.8$22.9 million, or $0.04$0.19 per diluted share, compared to a Net loss of $9.4$4.8 million, or $0.11$0.04 per diluted share, in the prior year. The decreasedlarger loss was primarily due to a $35.7 million decrease in revenue and a $5.6 million increase in patent litigation costs, partially offset by an $8.3 million reduction in Restructuring and asset impairment charges, a $5.0 million decrease in Equity-based compensation costs primarily resulting from turnover among the three months ended June 30, 2017senior executive staff including $8.5 million of operating income from TiVo Solutions, increased revenue from licenses with large US Pay TV Providers executed in 2016, a $3.7 million favorable change in the fair value of our interest rate swap portfolio, a $3.1 million gain from the sale of strategic investmentsformer Chief Executive Officer, and benefits from cost saving initiatives. These benefits were partially offset by a $9.4 million restructuring charge primarily related to vacating a leased facility as part of the TiVo Integration Restructuring Plan.

Total Revenues, net

For the three months ended June 30, 2017,2018, Total Revenues, net increased 67%decreased 17% compared to the prior year primarily as a result of the TiVo Acquisition, as including TiVo Solutions' results for the period increased revenue by $94.9 million. Total Revenues, net also increased compared to the prior year due to licenses executed in 2016 with large US Pay TV Providers. These revenue increases were partially offset by higher catch-up payments included in patent license agreements intended to make us whole for the pre-license period of use in the three months ended June 30, 2016, the renewal of an iGuide service provider contract at a lower rate, the loss of revenue from TiVo Solutions prior to the TiVo Acquisition DateProduct revenues decreased $11.6 million and a decline in metadata and advertising revenue.

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, consistconsists 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.service and our metadata offering.

We expect to continue to incur material expenses related to the Comcast litigation.

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 theour hardware operations.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017,2018, the increasedecrease in Cost of hardware revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets was attributable to TiVo Solutions' results for the period.

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 6% increasedecrease in Selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 20172018 was primarily due to a $6.7 million decrease in compensation costs primarily resulting from turnover among the TiVo Acquisition assenior executive staff including TiVo Solutions' results for the period increased costsour former Chief Executive Officer, and benefits from cost saving initiatives, including a $1.8 million decrease in facility costs. These cost decreases were partially offset by $8.4 million.

The increase in Transition and benefits from cost saving initiatives.integration costs associated with the TiVo Acquisition reflects a $4.5 million loss associated with a legacy TiVo Solutions legal matter that we agreed to settle in the third quarter of 2018.


The 25% increase6% decrease in Selling, general and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 20172018 was primarily due to the TiVo Acquisition as including TiVo Solutions' results for the period increased costs by $21.0 million.

We anticipate incurring material transition and integration-related costs, primarily consisting of employee-related costs and information systems investments These decreases were partially offset by a $2.5 million gain 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 and six months ended June 30, 2017, Depreciation and Amortization of intangible assets increased from the prior year primarily due tofrom the TiVo Acquisition.

Restructuring and asset impairment charges

In February 2018, we announced our intention to explore strategic alternatives. In connection with exploring strategic alternatives, we initiated certain cost saving actions (the "Profit Improvement Plan"). As a result of the Profit Improvement Plan, we expect to move certain positions to lower cost locations, eliminate layers of management and rationalize facilities resulting in severance costs and the termination of certain leases and other contracts. In connection with the Profit Improvement Plan, we expect to generate at least $25 million in annualized cost savings and to incur material restructuring costs through the middle of 2019. As a result of actions associated with the TiVo Integration Restructuring Plan, Restructuring charges of $1.0 million and $5.3 million, primarily for severance-related benefits, were recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, for the TiVo Integration Restructuring Plan.

Following completion of the TiVo Acquisition, integration plans were implemented which arewere intended to realize operational synergies between Rovi and TiVo Solutions (the "TiVo Integration Restructuring Plan"). We expect to eliminateeliminated 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 $9.3 million and $13.2 million, respectively, were recognized inactivities. In connection with the TiVo Integration Restructuring Plan, we generated over $110 million in annualized cost synergies. As a result of actions associated with the TiVo Integration Restructuring Plan, Restructuring and asset impairment charges of $0.2 million and $9.4 million were recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $0.4 million and $13.2 million were recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Interest expense

The $1.6 million and $3.0 million increase in Interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 20172018 was primarily relateddue to termination and transition agreements executed with former TiVo Solutions' employees. Restructuring and asset impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 also includes an impairment charge of $6.7 million from vacating a leased facility.

We expect to incur material restructuring costsincrease in connection with the TiVo Integration Restructuring Plan through 2017.

Legacy Rovi Restructuring Plans

In the three months ended March 31, 2016, Rovi initiated certain facility rationalization activities (the "Legacy Rovi Restructuring Plans"), including relocating its corporate headquarters from Santa Clara, California to San Carlos, California and consolidating its Silicon Valley operations into the corporate headquarters, and eliminating a number of positionsinterest rates associated with Term Loan Facility B, which bears interest, at our election, at a reorganization ofrate equal to either London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR"), plus an applicable margin equal to 2.50% per annum (subject to a 0.75% LIBOR floor) or 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 $0.1 million and $0.8 million were recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and $2.3 million was recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2016.prime lending rate, plus an applicable margin equal to 1.50% per annum.

Interest income and other, net

The $2.8$2.3 million and $2.8$0.7 million increasedecrease in Interest income and other, net during the three and six months ended June 30, 20172018 was primarily due to a $3.1 million gain from the sale of strategic investments in the prior year, partially offset by an increase in thea higher loss from an equity method investment.investment in the prior year.    

LossGain (loss) on interest rate swaps

We have not designated any of our interest rate swaps as hedges for accounting purposes and thereforepurposes. 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 910 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I1 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"),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.

TiVo Acquisition litigation

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") 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. As the amount paid to Dissenting Holders resulted from a settlement other than a judgment from the Delaware Court of Chancery, a TiVo Acquisition litigation loss of $12.9 million was recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The TiVo Acquisition litigation loss represents the settlement amount in excess of the amount due to the Dissenting Holders as merger consideration.

Loss on debt extinguishment and Loss on debt modification

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 six months ended June 30, 2017. Creditors in Term Loan Facility B that elected not to participate in Refinancing Agreement No. 1 were extinguished.extinguished, resulting in a Loss on debt extinguishment of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. 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 werewas not substantially different were accounted for as a debt modification.

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 June 30, 2018 of $4.3 million, which primarily consists of $3.2 million of foreign withholding taxes and $1.2 million of withholding taxes from a change in our assertion regarding the indefinite reinvestment of certain foreign earnings, partially offset by a $0.5 million benefit to continuing operations from a gain on discontinued operations. We recorded Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 of $3.9 million, which primarily consists of $2.8 million of foreign withholding taxes, $0.6 million of state income taxes a $0.4 million increase in net deferred tax liabilities and $0.2 million of foreign income taxes.

We recorded Income tax expense for the threesix months ended June 30, 20162018 of $3.2$8.5 million, which primarily consists of $2.7$7.1 million of foreign withholding taxes, $0.2$1.2 million of withholding taxes from a change in our assertion regarding the indefinite reinvestment of certain foreign earnings and $0.6 million of foreign income taxes, and a $0.5 million increase in net deferred tax liabilities, which were partially offset by a $0.9 million benefit to continuing operations from state income taxes of $0.3 million.

The year-over-year increase in foreign withholding taxes for three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was due to a larger portion of license fees received in 20172018 coming from licensees in countries subject to foreign withholding taxes.

We have not completed our accounting for the effects of the Tax Act of 2017 which was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act of 2017 enacted comprehensive tax reform that made broad and complex changes to the U.S. federal tax code as described in Note 14 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.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized Income from discontinued operations, net of tax of $2.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively, as a result of the expiration of certain indemnification obligations and the execution of settlement agreements during the period associated with previous business disposals.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the $10.8 million and $3.0 million decrease in Platform Solutions revenue was partially attributable to a decrease in hardware revenue due to a planned transition away from the hardware business. Platform Solutions revenue includes total hardware revenue of $3.3 million and $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $7.0 million and $24.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Hardware revenue is expected to continue to decline due to the planned transition away from the business and as MSO partners continue to shift to deploying the TiVo service on third-party hardware resulting in a decrease in the number of TiVo set-top boxes sold to MSO partners.

In addition, Platform Solutions revenue from two international MSO software customers decreased by $4.6 million and $9.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, due to adopting the amended revenue recognition guidance on January 1, 2018. A reduction in revenue from these two international MSO customers is expected to continue for the remainder of 2018. These two international MSO software customer licenses included minimum guaranteed royalties, most of which were recorded as an adjustment to Accumulated deficit as part of the cumulative effect of adopting the amended revenue recognition guidance as we have separated the license and support into distinct performance obligations. Under the previous revenue recognition guidance, revenue from these transactions would have been deferred as we did not have vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of fair value of support. Under the amended revenue recognition guidance, VSOE of fair value is no longer required, which results in revenue being recognized earlier than it would have been under the prior revenue recognition guidance.

The decrease in Platform Solutions revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was partially offset by a $23.6 million increase in revenue from an international MSO customer exercising a contractual option during the three months ended March 31, 2018, to purchase a fully paid license to its current presentation.version of the TiVo software and purchasing additional engineering services. Under the prior industry-specific software revenue recognition guidance, we would have recognized $0.8 million more and $21.9 million less in revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, from this customer.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, Software and Services revenue decreased $0.1 million primarily due to expiration of our metadata license with Comcast on September 30, 2017, which was partially offset by an increase in personalized content discovery revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, Software and Services revenue decreased $6.9 million as a result of a $3.7 million decrease in metadata revenue, which was primarily due to expiration of our metadata

license with Comcast on September 30, 2017, a $2.9 million decrease in advertising and analytics revenue and a $0.4 million decrease in personalized content discovery revenue.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, Other revenue is primarily derived from ACP revenue, which is expected to decline in the future.

Product Adjusted Operating Expenses decreased 11% and 10% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the prior year due to decreases of $6.8 million and $15.9 million, respectively, in Cost of hardware revenues as a result of the planned transition away from the hardware business and benefits from cost savings initiatives.

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily relates a shift in the Product business mix toward higher margin products as hardware becomes a smaller portion of the Product business as a result of the planned transition away from the hardware business and benefits from cost savings initiatives, partially offset by the effects of adopting the amended revenue recognition standard. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the six months ended June 30, 2018 includes a benefit from adopting the amended revenue recognition standard as a result of the fully paid software license discussed above, a shift in business mix toward higher margin products and benefits from cost savings initiatives.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, Intellectual Property Licensing2018, revenue increased 54% compared to the prior year due to a 58% increase in US Pay TV Providers revenue and a 47% increase in Other revenue. Revenue from US Pay TV Providers increaseddecreased primarily due to the inclusiondecreases of $29.9$15.2 million ofand $30.2 million, respectively, in revenue from TiVo Solutions agreements entered into with AT&T, DirecTV and EchoStar prior to the TiVo Acquisition Date as a result of adopting the amended revenue which includes $5.6 million ofrecognition guidance on January 1, 2018 and contract expirations. Decreases in revenue from catch-up payments included in patent license agreements intended to make us whole for the pre-license period of use,$4.3 million and

increased revenue from licenses executed in 2016 with large US Pay TV Providers, partially offset by higher catch-up payments included in patent license agreements intended to make us whole $3.3 million for the pre-license period of use in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and the loss of revenue from TiVo Solutions prior to the TiVo Acquisition Date. The increase in Other revenue was primarily due to the inclusion of $11.0 million of TiVo Solutions revenue, which included $8.7 million in catch-up payments included in patent license agreements with consumer electronics customers intended to make us whole for the pre-license period of use.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Intellectual Property Licensing revenue increased 57% compared2018, respectively, also contributed to the prior year due to a 72% increasedecline in US Pay TV Providers revenue and a 33% increase in Other revenue. Revenue from US Pay TV Providers increased primarily due to the inclusion of $53.8 million of TiVo Solutions revenue and increased revenue from 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 and the loss of revenue from TiVo Solutions prior to the TiVo Acquisition Date. The increase in Other revenue was primarily due to the inclusion of $13.8 million of TiVo Solutions revenue, which included catch-up payments included in patent license agreements with consumer electronics customers intended to make us whole for the pre-license period of use and licenses executed with OTT providers in 2017.

Prior to the TiVo Acquisition Date, TiVo Solutions entered into intellectual property licenses and settlementsagreements with EchoStar, AT&T, DirecTV, EchoStar and Verizon Communications, Inc. These agreements expire inthat expired by the end of July 2018. Revenue from US Pay TV Providers includes $18.4$8.4 million and $37.1$23.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, from these agreements. Revenue from US Pay TV Providers includes $17.3 million and $47.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, from these agreements. We expect to recognize $2.8 million of revenue from these agreements in the third quarter of 2018.

Consistent with our expectations, to date, renewals of the TiVo Solutions intellectual property licenses have not been executed on terms consistent with TiVo Solutions' historical pricing, and we do not anticipate that the remaining agreements will be renewed on terms similar to their historical pricing.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively,2018, the decrease in revenue from these agreements. BasedCE Manufacturers was primarily attributable to a customer being out-of-license. We anticipate this customer will eventually execute a new license. On occasion, we have licenses expire in a given period where the customer is licensed later in the year, which results in catch-up payments intended to make us whole for the out-of-license period. Additionally, a decrease in our licensees' market share, combined with continuing pressures on current U.S. GAAP,our licensees' business models, has caused revenue and cash received from the contractual minimums under these licensesCE Manufacturers to decline. Such declines could continue unless we are expectedable to be as follows (in thousands):

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 June 30, 2017,2018, we had $89.9$132.2 million in Cash and cash equivalents, $123.6$165.1 million in Short-term marketable securities and $102.8$58.0 million in Long-term marketable securities. Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are held in numerous locations around the world, with $231.9$85.6 million held by our foreign subsidiaries as of June 30, 2017.2018.

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. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to adjustment pursuant to the 2014 Indenture, including as a result of dividends paid by TiVo Corporation. As of June 30, 2017,2018, the 2021 Convertible Notes are convertible at a conversion rate of 22.053423.0879 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 $38.3478$36.6296 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 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.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,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 additional payment was required in February 2017.2018.

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.notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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 newadopted an amended 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 revenue recognition. For additional information, see Note 1 and Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which isare incorporated by reference herein.

Other than the adoption of the simplified goodwill impairment test,amended revenue recognition guidance, 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 for the year ended December 31, 2017, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Revenue Recognition

General
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services, which may include various combinations of products and services which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Depending on the terms of the contract, a portion of the consideration received may be deferred because of a requirement to satisfy a future obligation. Stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations is based on observable prices charged to customers for goods or services sold separately or the cost-plus-a-margin approach when observable prices are not available, considering overall pricing objectives.

Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations

Some of our contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the individual performance obligations are separately accounted for if they are distinct. In an arrangement with multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated among the separate performance obligations on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. The determination of stand-alone selling price considers market conditions, the size and scope of the contract, customer and geographic information, and other factors. The allocation of transaction price among performance obligations in a contract may impact the amount and timing of revenue recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during a given period.

Contract Modifications

Contracts may be modified due to changes in contract specifications or customer requirements. Contract modifications occur when the change in terms either creates new enforceable rights and obligations or changes existing enforceable rights and obligations. The effect of a contract modification for goods and services that are not distinct in the context of the contract on the transaction price is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. Contract modifications that result in goods or services that are distinct from the previously existing contract are accounted for prospectively.

Variable Consideration

When a contract with a customer includes a variable transaction price, an estimate of the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to for transferring the promised goods or services is made at contract inception. Depending on the terms of the contract, variable consideration is estimated using either the expected value approach or the most likely value approach. Under either approach to estimating variable consideration, the estimate considers all information (historical, current and forecast) that is reasonably available at contract inception. The amount of variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and updated as additional information becomes available. The estimate of variable consideration is included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Subsequent changes in the transaction price resulting from changes in the estimate of variable consideration are allocated to the performance obligations in the contract on the same basis as at contract inception.

Certain payments to retailers and distributors, such as market development funds and revenue shares, are treated as a reduction of the transaction price, and therefore revenue, rather than Selling, general and administrative expense. The reduction of revenue is recognized at the later of when revenue is recognized for the transfer of the related goods or services to the customer or when we pay or promise to pay the consideration.

When variable consideration is in the form of a sales-based or usage-based royalty in exchange for a license of intellectual property, or when a license of intellectual property is the predominant item to which the variable consideration relates, revenue is recognized at the later of when the subsequent sale or usage occurs or the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based or usage-based royalty has been allocated has been satisfied or partially satisfied.

Significant Judgments

Determining whether promises to transfer multiple goods and services in contracts with customers are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately requires significant judgment, including related to the level of integration and interdependency between the performance obligations. In addition, judgment is necessary to allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations, including whether there is a discount or significant financing component to be allocated based on the relative stand-alone selling price of the various performance obligations.

Significant judgment is required to determine the stand-alone selling price for each distinct performance obligation when an observable price is not available. In instances where stand-alone selling price is not directly observable, such as when we do not sell the good or service separately, the stand-alone selling price is determined using a range of inputs that includes market conditions and other observable inputs. More than one stand-alone selling price may exist for individual goods and services due to the stratification of those goods and services, considering attributes such as the size of the customer and geographic region.

Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on some performance obligations, significant judgment may be required to determine the transaction price. It is common for our license agreements to contain provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. These variable amounts are generally estimated based on usage or the achievement of performance metrics. In addition to estimating variable consideration, significant judgment is necessary to identify forms of variable consideration, determine whether the variable consideration relates to a sales-based or usage-based royalty of intellectual property and the determination of whether and when to include estimates of variable consideration in the transaction price.

Some hardware products are sold with a right of return and in other circumstances, other credits or incentives may be provided such as consideration (sales incentives) given to customers or resellers, which are accounted for as variable consideration and recognized as a reduction to the revenue recognized. Estimates of returns, credits and incentives are made at contract inception and updated each reporting period.

In contracts where we do not host the TiVo service and that include engineering services that are essential to the functionality of the licensed technology or involve significant customization or modification of software, we recognize revenue as progress toward completion occurs using an input method based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs of the project. Significant judgment is required to estimate the remaining effort to complete the project. These estimates are reassessed throughout the term of the arrangement.


On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, inputs and assumptions related to revenue recognition. Using different estimates, inputs or assumptions may materially affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the results of operations for the reporting period.

Nature of goods and services

The following is a discussion of the principal activities from which we generate revenue.

Patent Licensing Agreements

We license our discovery patent portfolio to traditional pay TV providers, virtual service providers, OTT video providers, CE manufacturers and others. We license our patented technology portfolio under two revenue models: (i) fixed fee arrangements and (ii) per-unit royalty licenses.

Our long-term fixed-fee license agreements provide rights to future patented technologies over the term of the agreement that are highly interdependent or highly interrelated to the patented technologies provided at the inception of the agreement. We treat these rights as a single performance obligation with revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related license agreement.

At times, we enter into license agreements in which a licensee is released from past patent infringement claims and is granted a license to ship an unlimited number of units over a future period for a fixed fee. In these arrangements, we allocate the transaction price between the release for past patent infringement claims and the future license. In determining the stand-alone selling price of the release for past patent infringement claims and the future license, we consider such factors as the number of units shipped in the past and in what geographies these units where shipped, the number of units expected to be shipped in the future and in what geographies these units are expected to be shipped, as well as the licensing rate we generally receive for units shipped in the same geographies. As the release from past patent infringement claims is generally satisfied at execution of the agreement, the transaction price allocated to the release from past patent infringement claims is generally recognized in the period the agreement is executed and the amount of transaction price allocated to the future license is recognized ratably over the future license term.

We recognize revenue from per-unit royalty licenses in the period in which the licensee's sales are estimated to have occurred, which results in an adjustment to revenue when actual sales are subsequently reported by its licensees, which is generally in the month or quarter following usage or shipment. We generally recognize revenue from per-unit royalty licenses on a per-subscriber per-month model for licenses with service providers and a per-unit shipped model for licenses with CE manufacturers.

Arrangements with Multiple System Operators for the TiVo Service

Our arrangements with multiple system operators ("MSOs") typically include software customization and set-up services, associated maintenance and support, limited training, post-contract support, TiVo-enabled digital video recorders ("DVRs"), non-DVR set-top boxes ("STBs") and the TiVo service.

We have two types of arrangements with MSOs that include technology deployment and engineering services. In instances where we host the TiVo service, non-refundable payments received for customization and set-up services are deferred and recognized as revenue over the contractual term. The related cost of such services is capitalized to the extent it is deemed recoverable and amortized to cost of revenues over the same period as the related TiVo service revenue is recognized. We estimate the stand-alone selling prices for training, DVRs, non-DVR STBs and maintenance and support based on the price charged in stand-alone sales of the promised good or service. The stand-alone selling price for the TiVo service is determined considering the size of the MSO and expected volume of deployment, market conditions, competitive landscape, internal costs and total gross margin objectives. For a term license to the TiVo service, we receive license fees for the hosted TiVo service on either a per-subscriber per-month basis or a fixed fee. We recognize revenue from per-subscriber per-month licenses during the month we provide the TiVo service to the customer and recognizes revenue from fixed fee licenses ratably over the license period.

In arrangements where we do not host the TiVo service and that include engineering services that are essential to the functionality of the licensed technology or involve significant customization or modification of the software, we recognize revenue as progress toward completion is made using an input method based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs of the project. Project costs are primarily labor related to the specific activities required for the project. Costs related to general infrastructure or uncommitted platform development are not included in the project cost estimates and are

expensed as incurred. Estimating project costs requires forecasting costs, tracking progress toward completion and projecting the remaining effort to complete the project. These estimates are reassessed throughout the term of the arrangement, and revisions to estimates are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis when the changed conditions become known. Provisions for losses are recorded when estimates indicate it is probable that a loss will be incurred for the contract. We generally recognize revenue from license fees for the TiVo service that it does not host on a per-subscriber per-month basis due to the recognition constraint on intellectual property usage-based royalties.
Subscription Services Revenues

Subscription services revenues primarily consist of fees that provide customers access to one or more of our hosted products such as our i-Guide IPG, advanced search and recommendations, metadata and analytics products, including routine customer support. We generally receive per-subscriber per-month fees for our i-Guide IPG and search and recommendations service and revenue is recorded in the month the customer uses the service. We generally receive a monthly or quarterly fee from its metadata or analytics licenses for the right to use its metadata or access its analytics platform and to receive regular updates. Revenue from our metadata and analytics service is recognized ratably over the contract period.

Passport Revenues

               We license our Passport IPG software to pay TV providers in North and South America. We generally receive per-subscriber per-month fees for licenses to the Passport IPG software and support. Due to the usage-based royalty provisions of the revenue recognition guidance, revenue is generally recognized in the month the customer uses the software.

Advertising

We generate advertising revenue through our IPGs. Advertising revenue is recognized when the related advertisement is provided. Advertising revenue is recorded net of agency commissions and revenue shares with service providers and CE manufacturers.

TiVo-enabled DVRs and TiVo Service

We sell TiVo-enabled DVRs and the related service directly to customers through sales programs via the TiVo.com website and license the sale of TiVo-enabled DVRs through a limited number of retailers. For sales through the TiVo.com website, the customer receives a DVR and commits to either a minimum subscription period of one year or for the lifetime of the DVR. After the initial subscription period, customers have various pricing options when they renew their subscription. Customers have the right to return the DVR within 30 days of purchase. Customers have the right to cancel their subscription to the TiVo service within 30 days of subscription activation for a full refund. For licensed sales of TiVo-enabled DVRs through retailers, the customer commits to either a minimum subscription period of one year or for the lifetime of the DVR.
The stand-alone selling price for the TiVo service is established based on stand-alone sales of the service and varies by the length of the service period. The stand-alone selling price of the DVR is determined based on the price for which we would sell the DVR without any service commitment from the customer.

The transaction price allocated to the DVR is recognized as revenue on delivery and the transaction price allocated to the TiVo service is recognized as revenue ratably over the service period. Subscription revenues from lifetime subscriptions are recognized ratably over the estimated useful life of the DVR associated with the subscription. The estimated useful life for a DVR depends on a number of assumptions, including, but not limited to, customer retention rates, the timing of new product introductions and historical experience. As of June 30, 2018, we recognize revenue for lifetime subscriptions over a 66-month period. We periodically reassess the estimated useful life of a DVR. When the actual useful life of the DVR materially differs from our estimate, the estimated useful life of the DVR is adjusted, which could result in the recognition of revenue over a longer or shorter period of time.
Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control of a DVR has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in Cost of hardware revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets as incurred.

Contractual Obligations

As a result of TiVo Solutions' acquisition of Cubiware, certain payments contingent on the occurrence of specified events may be payable. The contingent payments include guaranteed payments of $9.0 million provided certain key individuals

remain employed through May 2018. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we paid $5.5 million related to the guaranteed payments as certain employment conditions were satisfied.

In the normal course of business, in order to manage manufacturing lead times and help ensure adequate component supply, we may enter into agreements with certain vendors that allow the vendor to procure inventory based on defined criteria or requirements. As a result of a manufacturing outsourcing agreement that became effective during the three months ended June 30, 2018, our unconditional purchase obligations as of June 30, 2018 were reduced to $3.9 million.

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, 2016,2017, 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.

In September 2016, TiVo Solutions entered into an agreement with DISH under which DISH agreed to provide TiVo Solutions 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, of which $15.0 million was paid in the second quarter of 2017 and $15.0 million was paid in the fourth quarter of 2016 with the remainder due by the end of the third quarter of 2017.

Other than the items described above, our contractual obligations have not changed materially since December 31, 2016.2017.

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, 2016,2017, which is incorporated by reference herein.

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 impacteffect 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, 2016,2017, which is incorporated reference herein. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2016.2017.

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 Interim 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 Interim 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 June 30, 2017,2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
