CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements relate to, among other things:
| |
• | our financial results, our expectations of future revenues, and profitability; |
| |
• | our intention and ability to protect our intellectual property in the future and the strength and future value of our intellectual property; |
| |
• | our TiVo-Owned retail subscriptions, our future investments in subscription acquisition activities, future advertising expenditures, hardware costs and associated hardware subsidies, and other sales and marketing activities, including our sales and marketing, subscription acquisition costs (SAC), average revenue per subscription (ARPU), and subscription churn; |
| |
• | our TiVo-Owned retail subscriptions, our estimates of the useful life of TiVo-enabled digital video recorders (DVRs) and Minis in connection with the recognition of revenue received from product lifetime subscriptions and the expected future increase in the number of fully-amortized TiVo-Owned product lifetime subscriptions, and our estimates of the effects of product lifetime subscriptions on churn; |
| |
• | our expectations regarding the seasonality of our business and subscription additions to the TiVo service; |
| |
• | our expectations regarding future growth in subscriptions to the TiVo service, including future increases in the number of television service operator (MSO) subscriptions and households through international expansion and the possibility of future decreases in the TiVo-Owned subscription base as well as future changes in our TiVo-Owned ARPU, including decreases in TiVo-Owned ARPUs as a result of increased sales of non-DVR devices such as TiVo Mini which have a lower monthly or product lifetime service fee than for DVRs; |
| |
• | our expectations regarding future media services and other revenues; |
| |
• | our future service and hardware revenues from TiVo-Owned subscriptions and future service, technology, and hardware revenues from MSOs; |
| |
• | our expectations regarding growth in the future advanced television services market for our services, software, and technology for both our hardware and in-home and outside-of-the-home cloud-based solutions, which will be impacted by alternatives to and competitors with our products, such as broadband content delivered by MSOs to their customers' computers and mobile devices (TV Everywhere), video delivered on demand to an MSO customers' set-top box (VOD), and network DVRs; |
| |
• | our expectations regarding continued regulatory required access to and installation and operational issues surrounding cable-operator provided CableCARDs™ and switched digital devices essential for TiVo consumer devices in cable homes; |
| |
• | our expectations that in the future we may also offer services for additional non-DVR products beyond TiVo Preview and Mini, for example, that may or may not incorporate the TiVo user interface and non-DVR software including a network DVR service; |
| |
• | our expectations of the future decrease in hardware revenues and hardware margin as our U.S. MSO customers transition their hardware purchases to third-party hardware manufacturers such as Pace and our belief that this will enable us to gain additional MSO subscriptions; |
| |
• | our expectations of the growth of the TiVo service and technology revenues outside the United States; |
| |
• | our expectations regarding a future decrease in the amount of our research and development spending and our associated ability to remain a competitive technology innovator and invest significant resources in advanced television solutions; |
| |
• | our expectation that annual research and development spending in fiscal year 2015 will continue to be significant but to be at lower levels than the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014; |
| |
• | our expectations regarding future increases in the amount of deferred expenses in costs of technology revenues related to development work for our television distribution partners and our ability to receive revenues equal to or greater than such deferred expenses from such television distribution partners; |
| |
• | our expectations regarding future changes in our operating expenses, including changes in general and administrative expenses, litigation expenses, sales and marketing, and subscription acquisition costs; |
| |
• | our expectations regarding our ability to oversee outsourcing of our manufacturing processes and engineering work and our ability to support the hardware, inventory, and hardware customization needs of our MSO customers; |
| |
• | our expectations regarding the usability of our finished goods inventory of DVRs and non-DVR products and the risks that hardware forecasts of our MSO customers may be reduced or delayed after we have committed manufacturing resources due to long lead times, which may require us to record additional write-downs if such inventory exceeds forecasted demand; |
| |
• | our expectations that in the future we may offer streaming content to Android devices; |
| |
• | our expectations regarding our ability to perform or comply with laws, regulations, and requirements different than those in the United States; |
| |
• | our expectations regarding future capital allocation activities including share buy-backs, mergers and acquisitions, issuance of debt, and other alternative capital distribution activities; |
| |
• | our expectations and estimates related to long-term investments and their associated carrying value; and |
| |
• | our expectations of growth from our acquisition of Digitalsmiths |

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
TiVo Inc. (together with its subsidiaries the Company or TiVo) was incorporated in August 1997 as a Delaware corporation and is located in San Jose, California. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company conducts its operations through one reportable segment.
The Company is subject to a number of risks, including delays in product and service developments; competitive product and service offerings; lack of market acceptance; the dependence on third-parties for manufacturing, marketing, and sales support, as well as third-party rollout schedules, software development issues for third-party products which contain its technology; intellectual property claims by and against the Company; access to television programming including digital cable signals in connection with CableCARD and switched digital Internet Protocol, downloadable conditional access, and other new signal delivery and encryption technologies; dependence on its relationships with third-party service providers for subscription growth; and the Company’s ability to sustain and grow both its TiVo-Owned and MSO subscription bases. The Company anticipates that its retail business will continue to be seasonal and expects to generate a significant portion of its new subscriptions during and immediately after the holiday shopping season.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete audited annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of July 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014 and the results of operations and the statement of other comprehensive income for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014. Operating results for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for this fiscal year ending January 31, 2015 or any other periods.
Business Combinations
The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, including its acquisition of Digitalsmiths on February 14, 2014. Under this method of accounting, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values at the date of the completion of the transaction. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management’s judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, intangibles and other asset lives, among other items. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Additionally, fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use of that asset by market participants. As a result, the Company may have been required to value the acquired assets at fair value measures that do not reflect its intended use of those assets. Use of different estimates and judgments could yield different results. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Although the Company believes the assumptions and estimates it has made are reasonable and appropriate, they are based in part on historical experience and information that may be obtained from the management of the acquired company and are inherently uncertain. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates, or actual results.
As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on February 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

4. FAIR VALUE
Inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect TiVo's market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:
Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
This hierarchy requires TiVo to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when determining fair value. TiVo recognizes transfers between levels of the hierarchy based on the fair values of the respective financial instruments at the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.
Cash equivalents and available-for-sale marketable securities (including asset- and mortgage-backed securities) are reported at their fair value. Additionally, carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of their short maturities. The Company has financial liabilities for which it is obligated to repay the carrying value, unless the holder agrees to a lesser amount. These financial liabilities include TiVo's convertible debt. The fair values of TiVo's convertible debt are influenced by interest rates, TiVo's stock price and stock price volatility and are determined by Level 2 inputs. The carrying value of these financial liabilities at July 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014 was $172.5 million (for both periods) and the fair value was $233.8 million and $228.5 million, based on the convertible debts' quoted market price as of July 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014, respectively. On a quarterly basis, TiVo measures at fair value certain financial assets and liabilities. The fair value of those financial assets and
liabilities was determined using the following levels of inputs as of July 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014: |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| As of July 31, 2014 |

Level 1 Measurements
TiVo's cash equivalents held in money market funds, TiVo's available-for-sale securities and the trading securities are measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs.
Level 2 Measurements
The Company uses inputs such as broker/dealer quotes, and other similar data, which are obtained from quoted market prices, independent pricing vendors, or other sources, to determine the ultimate fair value of these assets and liabilities. The Company uses such pricing data as the primary input to make its assessments and determinations as to the ultimate valuation of its investment portfolio and has not made, during the periods
presented, any material adjustments to such inputs. The Company is ultimately responsible for the financial statements and underlying estimates.
Level 3 Measurements
As of July 31, 2014, TiVo had no Level 3 instruments.
The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 fair value measurements during the periods presented as there were no changes in the composition of Level 1, 2, or 3 securities.
TiVo also has a direct investment in a privately-held company accounted for under the cost method, which is periodically assessed for other-than-temporary impairment. If the Company determines that an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, TiVo will write-down the investment to its fair value. The fair value of a cost method investment is not evaluated if there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. However, if such a significant adverse events were identified, the Company would estimate the fair value of its cost method investment considering available information at the time of the event, such as pricing in recent rounds of financing, current cash position, earnings and cash flow forecasts, recent operational performance, and any other readily available data. The carrying amount of the Company's cost method investment was $250,000 as of July 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014. No events or circumstances indicating a potential impairment were identified as of as of July 31, 2014.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Product Warranties
The Company’s standard manufacturer's warranty period to consumers for TiVo-enabled DVRs is 90 days for parts and labor from the date of consumer purchase, and from 91-365 days for parts only. Within the limited warranty period, consumers are offered a no-charge exchange for TiVo-enabled DVRs returned due to product defect, within 90 days from the date of consumer purchase. Thereafter, consumers may exchange a TiVo-enabled DVR with a product defect for a charge. As of July 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014, the accrued warranty reserve was $412,000 and $621,000, respectively. The Company’s accrued warranty reserve is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company also offers its TiVo-Owned customers separately priced optional 2-year and 3-year extended warranties. The Company defers and amortizes cost and revenue associated with the sales of these extended warranties over the warranty period or until a warranty is redeemed. Additionally, the Company offers its MSO customers separately priced optional 3-year extended warranties. The Company recognizes the revenues associated with sale of these extended warranties over the second and third year of the warranty period. As of July 31, 2014, the extended warranty deferred revenue and cost was $2.1 million and $280,000, respectively. As of January 31, 2014, the extended warranty deferred revenue and cost was $2.0 million and $287,000, respectively.
Indemnification Arrangements
The Company undertakes indemnification obligations in its ordinary course of business. For instance, the Company has undertaken to indemnify its underwriters and certain investors in connection with the issuance and sale of its securities and the Company provides indemnification for its directors and officers in accordance with Delaware law. The Company has also undertaken to indemnify 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. 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, including certain violations of securities laws with respect to underwriters and investors. The term of these indemnification obligations is generally perpetual. The Company’s obligation to provide indemnification under its agreements with customer and business partners would arise in the event that a third party filed a claim against one of the parties that was covered by the Company’s indemnification obligation. As an example, if a third party sued a customer for intellectual property infringement and the Company agreed to indemnify that customer against such claims, its obligation would be triggered.
The Company is unable to estimate with any reasonable accuracy the liability 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, its indemnification obligations could range from immaterial to having a material adverse impact on its financial position and its ability to continue operation in the ordinary course of business.
Under certain circumstances, the Company may have recourse through its insurance policies that would enable it to recover from its insurance company some or all amounts paid pursuant to its indemnification obligations. The Company does not have any assets held either as collateral or by third parties that, upon the occurrence of an event requiring it to indemnify a customer, the Company could obtain and liquidate to recover all or a portion of the amounts paid pursuant to its indemnification obligations.
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is involved in numerous lawsuits as well as subject to various legal proceedings, claims, threats of litigation, and investigations in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, commercial, employment and other matters. The Company assesses potential liabilities in connection with each lawsuit and threatened lawsuits and accrues an estimated loss for these loss contingencies if both of the following conditions are met: information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. While certain matters to which the Company is a party specify the damages claimed, such claims may not represent reasonably possible losses. Given the inherent uncertainties of the litigation, the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time, nor can the amount of possible loss or range of loss, if any, be reasonably estimated. As of July 31, 2014, the Company has not accrued any pre-judgment liability for any lawsuits filed against the Company (except for $1.0 million for an arbitration proceeding related to a contractual dispute), as the Company has neither determined that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements nor that the amount of any loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company expenses legal costs as they are incurred.
7. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding unvested restricted stock.
Diluted net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, stock awards, and performance stock awards and are calculated using the treasury stock method. Also included in the weighted average effect of dilutive securities is the diluted effect of the convertible senior notes which is calculated using the if-converted method.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share:

9. ACQUISITIONS
On February 14, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of Digitalsmiths Corporation, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated January 29, 2014 for $133.3 million in cash. Digitalsmiths Corporation was a privately-held cloud-based content discovery and recommendation service
company headquartered in Durham, North Carolina. The acquisition of Digitalsmiths accelerates TiVo's evolution to a device and user interface cloud-based Software-as-a-Service company. Digitalsmiths' results of operations and the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were included in the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements beginning February 14, 2014. A total of $756,000 of acquisition costs were expensed as incurred of which $709,000 were expensed in fiscal year 2014 and the remainder during the six months ended July 31, 2014. During the three months ended July 31, 2014, we accrued an incremental $139,000 related to commission liabilities. This incremental accrual increased our accrued liabilities and our goodwill as of July 31, 2014.
The purchase consideration was preliminarily allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their respective estimated fair values on the acquisition date. TiVo will continue to evaluate certain current liabilities and tax estimates that are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The Company's preliminary allocation of the total purchase price is as follows:

The following table presents details of the intangible assets acquired through this business combination (in thousands, except years):
|
| | | | |
Description | Asset Life in years | Fair Value |
Software technology | 6 | $ | 14,100 |
|

Total identifiable intangible assets |
| $ | 52,700 |
|
The Company does not believe there is any significant residual value associated with these intangible assets. The Company's management determined the fair values of the intangible assets with the assistance of a valuation firm. The estimation of the fair value of the intangible assets required the use of valuation techniques and entailed
consideration of all the relevant factors that might affect the fair value, such as present value factors, estimates of future revenues, and costs. The estimated fair values of the intangibles acquired were determined based on the relief-from-royalty method for software technology and trade name and multi-period excess earnings method for customer relationships with key assumptions including: 1) forecasted revenue and operating results; 2) royalty rates; 3) discount rates ranging from 12% to 14%; and 4) customer attrition rates. The Company expects to amortize the fair value of these intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated useful lives.

The goodwill amount of $87.1 million represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identified net tangible and intangible assets. The goodwill recognized in this acquisition was derived from expected benefits from future technology, cost synergies, and knowledgeable and experienced workforce who joined the Company after the acquisition. Goodwill will not be amortized, but will be tested instead for impairment annually or more frequently if certain indicators of impairment are present. Goodwill is not expected to be tax deductible for income tax purposes.
10. INCOME TAX
The Company recorded income tax expense of $7.3 million and $13.7 million, respectively for the three months and six months ended July 31, 2014 as compared to an income tax benefit of $167.0 million and $166.9 million, respectively for the same prior year periods. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 was 44%. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended July 31, 2013 was (164)% and (182)%, respectively.
The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to the tax impact of non-deductible executive based compensation, stock based compensation, and state taxes. The higher effective tax rate for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014, compared to the same periods in fiscal year 2014, is primarily attributable to the release of Company’s valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets as of July 31, 2013. .
As of July 31, 2014, the Company believes that its deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized, with the exception of California deferred tax assets. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance on its California deferred tax assets as it is not more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will be realized. Income tax benefits attributable to the exercise of employee stock options of $5.0 million and $9.9 million during the three and six months ended July 31, 2014, respectively were recorded directly to “Additional paid-in capital” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Company Overview
We are a global leader in next-generation television software services and innovative cloud-based Software-as-a-Service solutions that enable viewers to consume content across all screens in-home and outside-of-the home. The TiVo experience provides an all-in-one approach for navigating the ‘content chaos’ by seamlessly combining live, recorded, on-demand, and over-the-top (e.g. NetFlix, Hulu, YouTube) television into one intuitive user interface with simple universal search, discovery, viewing and recording from any device, creating the ultimate viewing experience. We distribute our software, technology, and services through an increasing variety of consumer electronic applications and devices, such as television set-top boxes with and without DVR functionality, smartphones, and tablets. We offer a full whole-home solution that includes 4-Tuner and 6-Tuner DVRs/gateways, non-DVR IP set-top boxes (STBs), and software to enable streaming to mobile and tablet iOS devices (with Android devices coming in the future) through features such as What to Watch Now, Season Pass® recordings, integrated search (including content from both traditional linear television, cable VOD, and broadband sources in one user interface), access to broadband video content, TiVo Online/Mobile Scheduling and applications on third-party devices such as tablet computers and smartphones. As of July 31, 2014, there were approximately 4.8
million subscriptions to the TiVo service through our TiVo-Owned and MSO businesses. In our TiVo-Owned business, we distribute the TiVo DVR through consumer electronics retailers and through our on-line store at TiVo.com. Additionally, in our MSO business, we generate service, and, in some cases hardware revenues by providing the TiVo service through agreements with leading satellite and cable television service providers and broadcasters on MSO provisioned STBs (both through TiVo supplied and third-party supplied STBs) and other devices. We also generate technology revenues through engineering professional services in connection with the development and deployment of the TiVo service to our MSO customers.
On February 14, 2014, we acquired Digitalsmiths Corporation, one of the Pay TV industry's most broadly adopted cloud-based search and recommendation services. We believe this acquisition will broaden our product and service portfolio and increase our opportunities among Pay TV operators, consumer electronics manufacturers, and content providers. Additionally, we generate advertising and audience research and measurement revenues by providing innovative advertising and audience measurement solutions for the television industry.
We are focused on enhancing long-term shareholder value, and will continue to evaluate opportunities to grow our business organically and/or through acquisitions. On August 26, 2014, we announced that our board of directors had authorized a new $350 million share repurchase program to replace the prior authorization that had $85.8 million remaining. This new $350 million share repurchase program expires on January 31, 2017, with $100 million in initial share repurchases under this new program intended to be completed in the fiscal year ending January, 31, 2015. As of July 31, 2014 we had purchased a total of 17,939,094 shares of common stock under the prior program at a weighted average price of $11.94 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $214.2 million.
We have engaged in significant intellectual property litigation with certain television service and technology providers in the United States to protect our technology from infringement. To date, we have received cash and future technology revenue payment commitments totaling over $1.6 billion from intellectual property litigation.
Executive Overview
Fiscal year 2015
In the fiscal year ending January 31, 2015, we plan to continue to be focused on our efforts to build leading advanced television products, enter into new distribution agreements, engage in development work for existing distribution customers, and continue deployment activities for our existing distribution customers. Additionally, we have been and plan to continue to actively protect our intellectual property. We will continue to focus on the following priorities:
•We expect to continue our efforts to increase our subscription base by adding new subscriptions through our mass distribution relationships both in the U.S. and internationally as well as our TiVo-Owned direct and retail sales with the roll out of new products, such as our TiVo Roamio product line (an all-in-one approach to live, recorded, on demand, and over-the-top television). We expect to further grow our MSO subscription base during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2015. However, we expect that net subscription growth in our installed base of MSO subscriptions will likely be slightly offset by further declines in our net TiVo-Owned subscriptions.
•We believe giving operators a choice of hardware platforms is critical to attracting new MSO customers, and driving increased penetration in current MSO customers to increase our MSO service revenues in the long term. As a result, we expect MSO hardware revenues and margins to likely decline in future quarters as U.S. MSO customers transition to third-party hardware such as Pace and other products which can support our TiVo service. Although we lose hardware margin in the short term from decreased hardware sales, we believe we gain additional subscribers through MSOs that would not otherwise be willing to sell the TiVo service.
•We expect to see revenue growth from our acquisition of Digitalsmiths. Digitalsmiths currently has business relationships with seven of the top ten U.S. Pay TV operators as well as various consumer electronics manufacturers and content providers. Most of these relationships are at the early stages of deployment and we expect increased penetration will drive further growth. Additionally, we are focused on signing additional distribution customers for Digitalsmiths both in the U.S. and internationally as well as launching new Digitalsmiths' products and services in the future.
•We believe that our investment in research and development is critical to remaining competitive and being a leader in advanced television solutions. Therefore, we expect our annual research and development spending in fiscal year 2015 to continue to be significant but to be at lower levels than the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014 as we continue to launch and pursue new product developments
including enhanced cloud-based services such as network DVR, a more personalized user experience, expanded mobile applications, out-of-home and expanded multi-room streaming capabilities, data analytics, and a variety of back-office enhancements which increase our operational capacity to handle more operator deployments.
•We will continue our efforts to protect our technological innovations and intellectual property. However, we expect our litigation expenses to be significantly lower during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2015 as we have no material ongoing patent enforcement actions.
•We expect to continue our development efforts under our existing MSO deployment arrangements. As part of these arrangements, we typically receive some payments upfront and a portion over time that is a recoupment of costs to develop. As such, to the extent that our development costs exceed upfront development fees from such arrangements, but the recovery of such development costs through future service fees from these MSOs is reasonably assured, we will defer such development costs and start expensing them in our Statement of Operations later upon deployment with the MSO. As of July 31, 2014 we had deferred costs of approximately $22.6 million related to development work, largely related to Com Hem, ONO, and Charter Communications Operating, LLC (Charter). However, despite the deferral of these development costs, we do incur cash outflows associated with these development efforts resulting in potentially higher cash usage in the near term. Also for international MSOs, when related revenues from service fees are received, they are first recognized as technology revenues until the previously deferred costs of development of such arrangements are expensed. Based on the contractual commitments or recent MSO activities, full recovery of the deferred costs must be reasonably assured. However, we face the risk of unexpected losses if we are forced to recognize these deferred costs early if we don't successfully complete the developments and deployments with the MSO partners or these partners default on future guaranteed service fees or are otherwise able to terminate their contracts with us.
Key Business Metrics
Management periodically reviews certain key business metrics in order to evaluate our operations, allocate resources, and drive financial performance in our business. Management monitors these metrics together and not individually as it does not make business decisions based upon any single metric.
Subscriptions and Households. Management reviews these metrics, and believes they may be useful to investors, in order to evaluate our relative position in the marketplace and to forecast future potential service revenues. Below is a table that details the change in our subscription base during the last eight quarters. The TiVo-Owned Subscription lines refer to subscriptions sold directly or indirectly by TiVo to consumers who have TiVo-enabled devices (such as a DVR or TiVo Mini) and for which TiVo incurs acquisition costs. The MSO Subscription lines refer to subscriptions sold to consumers by MSOs such as Com Hem, ONO, RCN, Suddenlink, Virgin,
among others, and for which TiVo expects to incur little or no acquisition costs. Additionally, we provide a breakdown of the average subscriptions for the quarter, the total MSO households and the MSO average households for the quarter, the number of fully amortized active lifetime subscriptions, and percent of TiVo-Owned
Subscriptions for which consumers pay recurring fees as opposed to a one-time prepaid product lifetime fee. |

We define a “subscription” as a contract referencing a TiVo-enabled device such as a DVR or TiVo Mini for which (i) a consumer has committed to pay for the TiVo service and (ii) service is not canceled. Each TiVo-Owned Subscription represents a single TiVo-enabled device (as defined above) and therefore one or more TiVo-Owned Subscriptions may be present in a single household. MSO Subscriptions are a count of the number of devices that connect to the TiVo service and one or more devices may be present in a single household. Subscriptions do not include soft-clients (i.e. iPad application or web portal) or digital tuning adapter users. We count product lifetime subscriptions in our subscription base until both of the following conditions are met: (i) the period we use to recognize product lifetime subscription revenues ends; and (ii) the related TiVo-enabled device has not made contact to the TiVo service within the prior six month period. Product lifetime subscriptions past this period which have not called into the TiVo service for six months are not counted in this total.
We define a "household" as one or more devices associated with the same contract or customer number. We currently do not report TiVo-Owned households as we currently receive incremental revenue for each new TiVo-Owned Subscription in the TiVo-Owned business whereas, in some cases, our MSO customers pay us on a per household basis.
We calculate average subscriptions for the period by adding the average subscriptions for each month and dividing by the number of months in the period. We calculate the average subscriptions for each month by adding the beginning and ending subscriptions for the month and dividing by two. We calculate Average MSO Households for the period by adding the average households for each month and dividing by the number of months in the period. We calculate the average households for each month by adding the beginning and ending households for the month and dividing by two. We are not aware of any uniform standards for defining subscriptions or households and caution that our presentation may not be consistent with that of other companies. Additionally, the fees that our MSOs pay us are typically based upon a specific contractual definition of a subscriber, subscription, household or a TiVo-enabled device which may not be consistent with how we define a subscription or household for our reporting purposes nor be representative of how such fees are calculated and paid to us by our MSOs. Our MSOs Subscription and MSO Household data is dependent in part on reporting from our third-party MSO partners.
TiVo-Owned Subscriptions declined by 20,000 subscriptions during the three months ended July 31, 2014, as compared to a decrease of 26,000 in the same prior year period. The improvement in net TiVo-Owned Subscription losses of 6,000 subscriptions was largely related to increased gross subscription additions. The TiVo-Owned installed subscription base decreased to 937,000 subscriptions as of July 31, 2014 as compared to 981,000 as of July 31, 2013. We believe the year over year decrease in total TiVo-Owned Subscriptions was largely due to continued pressure on subscription gross additions resulting from increased competition from DVRs
distributed by cable and satellite companies as we continued to have fewer TiVo-Owned Subscription gross additions than TiVo-Owned Subscription cancellations.
Our MSO installed subscription base increased by 283,000 subscriptions during the three months ended July 31, 2014, to approximately 3.9 million subscriptions as of July 31, 2014. The increase in cumulative MSO Subscriptions of 1.2 million subscriptions as of July 31, 2013 is due to subscription growth from a variety of partners including Com Hem, ONO, RCN, Suddenlink, Virgin, and others. This subscription growth is largely related to international MSO subscriptions though domestic MSO subscription growth has increased as a contributer. We expect continued growth in our MSO installed subscription base through continued growth from existing distribition and as additional MSO distribution deals launch.
TiVo-Owned Churn Rate per Month. Management reviews this metric, and believes it may be useful to investors, in order to evaluate our ability to retain existing TiVo-Owned Subscriptions (including both monthly and product lifetime subscriptions) by providing services that are competitive in the market. Management believes factors such as service enhancements, service commitments, higher customer satisfaction, and improved customer support may improve this metric. Conversely, management believes factors such as increased competition, lack of competitive service features such as high definition television recording capabilities in our older model DVRs or access to certain digital television channels or MSO Video On Demand services, as well as increased price sensitivity, CableCARDTM installation issues, and CableCARDTM technology limitations, may cause our TiVo-Owned Churn Rate per month to increase.
We define the TiVo-Owned Churn Rate per month as the total TiVo-Owned Subscription cancellations in the period divided by the Average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for the period (including both monthly and product lifetime subscriptions), which then is divided by the number of months in the period. We calculate Average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for the period by adding the average TiVo-Owned Subscriptions for each month and dividing by the number of months in the period. We calculate the average TiVo-Owned Subscriptions for each month by adding the beginning and ending subscriptions for the month and dividing by two. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating churn and caution that our presentation may not be consistent with that of other companies.

TiVo-Owned Churn Rate per month was 1.6% and 1.5% for the quarters ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in our Churn Rate per month is a result of slightly higher number of subscription cancellations combined with a lower average TiVo-Owned subscription base, as compared to the same prior year period. Included in our TiVo-Owned Churn Rate per month are those product lifetime subscriptions that have both reached the end of the revenue recognition period and whose DVRs have not contacted the TiVo service within the prior six months. Conversely, we do not count as churn product lifetime subscriptions that have not reached the end of the revenue recognition period, regardless of whether such subscriptions continue to contact the TiVo service.
Subscription Acquisition Cost or SAC. Management reviews this metric, and believes it may be useful to investors, in order to evaluate trends in the efficiency of our marketing programs and subscription acquisition strategies. We define SAC as our total TiVo-Owned acquisition costs for a given period divided by TiVo-Owned subscription gross additions for the same period. We define total acquisition costs as sales and marketing, subscription acquisition costs less net TiVo-Owned related hardware revenues (defined as TiVo-Owned related gross hardware revenues less rebates, revenue share and market development funds paid to retailers) plus TiVo-Owned related cost of hardware revenues. The sales and marketing, subscription acquisition costs line item includes advertising expenses and promotion-related expenses directly related to subscription acquisition activities, but does not include expenses related to advertising sales. We do not include third-parties’ subscription gross additions, such as MSOs' gross additions with TiVo subscriptions, in our calculation of SAC because we typically incur limited or no acquisition costs for these new subscriptions, and so we also do not include MSOs’ sales and marketing, subscription acquisition costs, hardware revenues, or cost of hardware revenues in our
calculation of TiVo-Owned SAC. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating total acquisition costs or SAC and caution that our presentation may not be consistent with that of other companies.

As a result of the seasonal nature of our subscription growth in the past, total acquisition costs have varied significantly during the year. Management primarily reviews the SAC metric on an annual basis due to the timing difference between our recognition of promotional program expense and the subsequent addition of the related subscriptions. For example, we have historically experienced increased TiVo-Owned subscription gross additions during the fourth quarter; however, sales and marketing, subscription acquisition activities occur throughout the year.
During the three months ended July 31, 2014, our total acquisition costs were $3.9 million, a decrease of $1.6 million, as compared to the same prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to decreased sales and marketing subscription acquisition costs of $784,000. This decreases in sales and marketing subscription acquisition costs was the result of significant promotions in the prior year period that were not present in the current period. Also reducing the total acquisition costs was the decrease in the hardware gross margin loss of $851,000 which is a result of the better margins attained on our current product offerings.
During the three months ended July 31, 2014 our SAC decreased by $132 to $146 from $278 in the same prior year period. This decrease in SAC was largely a result of the decreased total acquisition costs combined with the increased subscription gross additions for the three months ended July 31, 2014 as compared to the same prior year period.
During the twelve months ended July 31, 2014 our total acquisition costs were $23.2 million, an increase of $61,000 compared to the same prior year period. This increase was largely related to a decrease in the hardware gross margin loss of $2.4 million offset by an increase in TiVo's sales and marketing, subscription acquisition costs of $2.5 million, as compared to the same prior year period. The lower hardware gross margin loss was largely driven by increased hardware unit sales with improved economic margins on the Roamio DVRs.
The decrease in SAC of $48 for the twelve months ended July 31, 2014 as compared to the same prior year period was largely a result of an increase in the number of TiVo-Owned Subscription gross additions.
TiVo-Owned Average Revenue Per Subscription or ARPU. Management reviews this metric, and believes it may be useful to investors in order to evaluate the potential of our subscription base to generate service revenues. Investors should not use ARPU as a substitute for measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes it is useful to consider this metric excluding the costs associated with rebates, revenue share, and other payments to channel because of the discretionary and varying nature of these expenses and because management believes these expenses, which are included in hardware revenues, net, are more appropriately monitored as part of SAC. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating ARPU and caution that our presentation may not be consistent with that of other companies.
We calculate TiVo-Owned service revenues by subtracting MSOs'-related service revenues and Media services and other service revenues (includes Advertising, Research, and Digitalsmiths revenues), from our total reported net Service revenues. The table below provides a more detailed breakdown of our Service revenues, and reconciles to our total Service revenues in our Statement of Operations as reported:

We calculate ARPU per month for TiVo-Owned Subscriptions by taking total reported net TiVo-Owned service revenues and dividing the result by the number of months in the period. We then divide the resulting average service revenue by Average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for the period, calculated as described above for churn rate. The following table shows this calculation:

The decrease in TiVo-Owned ARPU per month for the three months ended July 31, 2014 as compared to the same prior year period was due primarily to a percentage increase in sales of service for TiVo Mini, which typically has a lower monthly fee or amortized payments than for DVRs.
Critical Accounting Estimates
In preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we make assumptions, judgments and estimates that can have a significant impact on our revenue, operating income (loss) and net income (loss), as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We base our assumptions, judgments and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. At least quarterly, we evaluate our assumptions, judgments and estimates and make changes accordingly. Historically, our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to our critical accounting estimates have not differed materially from actual results. Other than the critical accounting estimates noted below there have been no other changes to our critical accounting estimates from our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014.
Business Combinations
We apply the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, including our acquisition of Digitalsmiths on February 14, 2014. Under this method of accounting, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values at the date of the completion of the transaction. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires our management’s judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, intangibles and other asset lives, among other items. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Additionally, fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use of that asset by market participants. As a result, we may have been required to value the acquired assets at fair value measures that do not reflect our intended use of those assets. Use of different estimates and judgments could yield different results. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Although we believe the assumptions and estimates we have made are reasonable and appropriate, they are based in part on historical experience and information that may be obtained from the management of the acquired company and are inherently uncertain. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates, or actual results. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on February 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

Service Revenues. The increase in Service revenues of $2.0 million and $3.8 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014, as compared to the same prior year periods was related to an increase in MSO-related service revenues of $2.8 million and $5.4 million, respectively due to the increased subscription base. This increase was combined with an increase in Media service and other revenues of $938,000 and $1.9 million, respectively, largely related to the acquisition of Digitalsmiths. These increases were partially offset by decreases in TiVo-Owned subscription revenues of $1.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively.
Technology Revenues. Technology revenues for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 increased by $7.7 million and $30.0 million, respectively, as compared to the same prior year periods primarily due to the settlement and license agreements with Verizon and Google/Motorola Mobility and Cisco, additional licensing
revenues in excess of contractual minimums, and to a lesser extent the timing of revenue recognition related to various technology related projects.
Revenue and cash from the contractual minimums (i.e. the following amounts do not include any additional revenues from our AT&T agreement) under our licensing agreements with EchoStar, AT&T, Verizon, and Cisco and Google/Motorola Mobility through July 31, 2014 have been:

Hardware Revenues. Hardware revenues, net of allowance for sales returns and net of revenue share and marketing development fund payments for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 increased by $2.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively as compared to the same prior year periods. While the majority of our hardware revenues related to our MSO business, the increases in net hardware revenues during the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 were largely related to the increased number of hardware units sold in our consumer business.

Cost of service revenues consists primarily of telecommunication and network expenses, employee salaries, service center, credit card processing fees, and other expenses related to providing the TiVo service and amortization of acquired developed technology associated with our acquisitions. Cost of service revenues increased by $2.3 million and $5.4 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014, as compared to the same prior year periods. These increases were largely comprised of headcount related costs and amortization of developed technology, a portion of which is associated with the acquisition of Digitalsmiths.
Service gross margin as a percent of service revenues decline by 4% and 6% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014, respectively. These declines are largely related to the Digitalsmiths revenues which currently provide little to no gross margins.

Cost of technology revenues includes costs associated with our development work primarily for Virgin, Com Hem, ONO, and our other international and domestic projects. Cost of technology revenues decreased by $6.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014, as compared to the same prior year periods. This decrease in cost of technology revenues for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 was related primarily to the lower number of ongoing technology projects and the timing of recognition of revenues for those projects during the period. The three and six months ended July 31, 2013 included $6.9 million of costs associated with the completion of our ONO development work during the prior year periods.
In certain of our distribution deals, TiVo is not being paid in full for the upfront development cost. However, in exchange, TiVo is receiving guaranteed financial commitments over the duration of the distribution deal. If we are reasonably assured that these arrangements as a whole will be profitable (assuming successful completion of development), we do not expense the development costs that exceed cash payable for the development work as incurred but rather we defer those costs and recognize these costs later when we receive service fees. However, despite the deferral of these development costs, we do incur cash outflows associated with these development efforts resulting in potentially higher cash usage in the near term. As a result, a portion of service fees used to recover the initial development costs would be classified as technology revenues and timing of recognition of these costs and revenues may differ from when these costs are actually incurred.
In accordance with our revenue recognition policies, we have deferred costs of approximately $22.6 million related to development work, largely related to Com Hem, ONO, and Charter and these costs are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under deferred cost of technology revenues, current and deferred cost of technology revenues, long-term at July 31, 2014. In instances where TiVo does not host the TiVo service, these costs (up to the amount billed) will be recognized when related revenues are recognized upon billing our customers, as specified in the agreement. In instances where TiVo hosts the TiVo service, starting upon deployment, these costs will be amortized to cost of revenues over the longer of the contractual or customer relationship period.

Cost of hardware revenues include all product costs associated with the TiVo-enabled DVRs and non-DVRs we distribute and sell, including manufacturing-related overhead and personnel, warranty, certain licensing, order
fulfillment, and freight costs. We sell this hardware primarily as a means to grow our service revenues and, as a result, generating positive gross margins from hardware sales that are linked with the sale of TiVo-Owned service is not the primary goal of the consumer business. Our cost of hardware revenues for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 increased as compared to the same prior year periods as we sold more units into both our MSO and Consumer channels as compared to the same prior year periods.
Hardware gross margin for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 increased by $1.6 million and $600,000, respectively as compared to the same prior year periods largely due to mix units sold and the channel in which they were sold during the period as compared to the same prior year periods.
Our MSO partner margins are likely to decline in future quarters as MSO partners continue to transition to third-party hardware such as the Pace DVR and non-DVR product.

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of employee salaries, related expenses, and consulting expenses related to our development of new technologies and products, such as whole home DVR technology and new features and functionality as well as investments in creating an integrated software code base across our product lines to increase the efficiency of our product development efforts in the future. Our research and development expenses decreased by $1.3 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 as compared to the same prior year period. These decreases were largely related to decreased headcount and headcount related costs. We expect our annual research and development spending in fiscal year 2015 to continue to be significant but to be at lower levels than the fiscal year 2014.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee salaries related expenses, consulting expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles. Sales and marketing expenses for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 increased by $1.2 million and $3.0 million as compared to the same prior year periods. These increases are largely related our acquisition of Digitalsmiths. Amortization of acquired customer relationship intangibles was $1.0 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to $117,000 and $235,000, respectively for the same prior year periods.

Sales and marketing, subscription acquisition costs include advertising expenses and promotional expenses directly related to our efforts to acquire new TiVo-Owned subscriptions to the TiVo service. Sales and marketing, subscription acquisition expenses for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 decreased by $784,000 and
$1.1 million, respectively, as compared to the same prior year periods due to decreased advertising spending during the current periods.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and related expenses for executive, administrative, accounting, and legal and professional fees. During the three and six months ended July 31, 2014, general and administrative expenses decreased by $7.5 million and $13.9 million, respectively, as compared to the same prior year periods. These decreases for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 were primarily related to decreased legal fees of $9.4 million and $19.2 million, respectively, and were associated with litigation expenses related to our patent enforcement cases. These were offset by increases in G&A expenses, net of litigation, in the amount of $2.0 million and $5.3 during the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 as compared to the same prior year periods. These increases were related largely to headcount related expenses.
Interest income. Interest income for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 decreased by $535,000 and $214,000, respectively as compared to the same prior year periods. During the three and six months ended July 31, 2013 interest income included $752,000 of interest related our settlement of Google/Motorola Mobility settlement and the interest associated with their past infringement. These decreases were offset by interest that was largely attributed to a higher average cash and short-term investment balance held during the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 as compared to the same prior year periods.
Interest expense and other. Interest expense and other income for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 was relatively flat as compared to the same prior year periods and consists primarily of interest expense associated with our convertible senior notes.

The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to the tax impact of non-deductible executive based compensation, stock based compensation and state taxes.
The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended July 31, 2013 differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due a release of valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.

We have financed our operations and met our capital expenditure requirements primarily from the proceeds from the sale of equity securities, issuance of convertible senior notes, litigation proceeds, and cash flows from operations. Our cash resources are subject, in part, to the amount and timing of cash received from our license agreements, subscriptions, deployment agreements, and hardware customers. As of July 31, 2014, we had over $782.6 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. We also have $172.5 million in outstanding
convertible senior subordinated notes, which are due on March 15, 2016. The notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Company and the Company may not redeem these notes prior to their maturity date although investors may convert the notes into TiVo common stock at any time until March 14, 2016 at their option.
We believe our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, provide sufficient resources to fund operations, capital expenditures, future repurchases of TiVo shares in connection with our previously announced share repurchase authorization, and working capital needs through the next twelve months.
Statement of Cash Flows Discussion
The following table summarizes our cash flow activities:
|
| | | | | | |
| Six Months Ended July 31, |
| 2014 | 2013 |
| (in thousands) |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 14,100 |
| 496,462 |
|
Net cash used in investing activities | $ | (58,133 | ) | $ | (119,379 | ) |
Net cash used in financing activities | $ | (96,053 | ) | $ | (82,773 | ) |
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
During the six months ended July 31, 2014 our net cash provided by operating activities was $14.1 million as compared to net cash provided of $496.5 million during the same prior year period. This decrease of $482.4 million in operating cash flow as compared to the same prior year period was largely related our settlement with Google/Motorola Mobility that occurred during the six months ended July 31, 2013. During the six months ended July 31, 2014 we had no such similar transaction.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2014 was approximately $58.1 million as and was largely related to usage of $128.4 million for our acquisition of Digitalsmiths and was partially offset by a net cash inflow of $72.8 million related to our cash management process, and the purchase and sales of short-term investments. Additionally we acquired property and equipment of $2.5 million which is used to support our business.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2013 was approximately $119.4 million and was largely related to TiVo's cash management process, and the purchase and sales of short-term investments resulting in a net decrease of cash and cash equivalents of $116.3 (this resulted in a corresponding increase in short-term investments of $116.3 million). Additionally we acquired property and equipment of $3.1 million which was used to support our business.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2014 was approximately $96.1 million as compared to net used in financing activities of $82.8 million for the same prior year period.
For the six months ended July 31, 2014 the principal uses of cash for financing activities were repurchases of TiVo stock pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan and repurchase of restricted stock to satisfy employee tax withholdings on stock-based awards of $110.8 million offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock options which generated $3.6 million combined with proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to the employee stock purchase plan of $3.6 million.
For the six months ended July 31, 2013 the principal uses of cash for financing activities were related to repurchase of TiVo stock pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan and repurchase of restricted stock to satisfy employee tax withholdings on stock-based awards of $91.1 million offset by the issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock options which generated $4.0 million combined with the issuance of common stock pursuant to the employee stock purchase plan of $3.8 million.
Financing Agreements
Share Repurchases. On August 11, 2011, our board of directors authorized a $100 million discretionary share repurchase program that became effective on August 29, 2011; on June 9, 2013 we announced that the Board had increased the amount of the discretionary share repurchase program to $200 million and extended the program's termination date from August 29, 2013 to August 29, 2015. On January 29, 2014 we announced that the Board had
increased the amount of the discretionary share repurchase program to $300 million. As of July 31, 2014 we had purchased 17,939,094 shares of common stock under this program at a weighted average price of $11.94 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $214.2 million and the remaining authorized amount for stock repurchases under this program was $85.8 million with a termination date of August 29, 2015.
On August 26, 2014, we announced our board of directors had authorized a new $350 million discretionary share repurchase program to replace the prior authorization that had $85.8 million remaining. This new $350 million share repurchase program will expire on January 31, 2017, with an initial $100 million in share repurchases intended to be completed by the end of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2015.
Universal Shelf Registration Statement. We are a well known seasoned issuer and are eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3 which would be immediately effective upon filing with the SEC under which we may issue an unlimited amount of securities, including debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, and warrants. Depending on market conditions, we may issue securities under future registration statements or in private offerings exempt from registration requirements.

Purchase Commitments with Contract Manufacturers and Suppliers. We purchase components from a variety of suppliers and use several contract manufacturers to provide manufacturing services for our products. During the normal course of business, in order to manage manufacturing lead times and help assure adequate component supply, we enter into agreements with contract manufacturers and suppliers that either allow them to procure inventory based upon criteria as defined by us or to establish the parameters defining our requirements. In certain instances, these agreements allow us the option to cancel, reschedule, and adjust our requirements based on our business needs prior to firm orders being placed. The table above displays that portion of our purchase commitments arising from these agreements that is firm, non-cancelable, and unconditional. If there are unexpected changes to anticipated demand for our products or in the sales mix of our products, some of the firm, non-cancelable, and unconditional purchase commitments may result in TiVo being committed to purchase excess inventory.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As part of our ongoing business, we generally do not engage in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities. Accordingly, our operating results, financial condition, and cash flows are not generally subject to off-balance sheet risks associated with these types of arrangements. We did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements as of July 31, 2014.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and we conduct transactions in U.S. dollars. We maintain our investments with two financial institutions with high credit ratings. We currently invest the majority of our cash in money market funds, investment-grade government and corporate debt, and investment-grade foreign government securities. As part of our cash management process, we perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit ratings of issuers of these securities. We have not experienced any credit losses on our cash, cash equivalents, or short and long-term investments. Our investment portfolio only includes instruments with original effective maturities of less than two years held for investment purposes, not trading purposes. Due to the short-term
nature of our cash equivalents and short-term investments we do not anticipate any material effect on our portfolio due to fluctuations in interest rates.
Our convertible debt has a fixed interest rate and therefore we are not exposed to fluctuations in interest rates on this debt.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
We are committed to maintaining disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our 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 and implementing controls and procedures based on the application of management's judgment.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act.
Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined above, were effective in reaching a reasonable level of assurance as of July 31, 2014 (the end of the period covered by this quarterly report).
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended July 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented or over-ridden by the individual acts of some persons, by the collusion of two or more people, or by management. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements or omissions due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
The information under the heading “Legal Matters” set forth under Note 6 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report, is incorporated herein by reference.
Before deciding to purchase, hold or sell our common stock, you should carefully consider the risk factors described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2014 in the section entitled “Risk Factors”, in addition to the other cautionary statements and risks described elsewhere, and the other information contained in this report and in our other filings with the SEC, including our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2014, and subsequent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K.
Breaches of our cybersecurity systems could degrade our ability to conduct our business operations and deliver products and services to our MSO and retail customers, delay our ability to recognize
revenue, compromise the integrity of our products and services, result in significant data losses and the theft of our intellectual property, damage our reputation, result in the breach and termination of our agreements with our MSO customers, expose us to liability to third parties and require us to incur significant additional costs to maintain the security of our networks and data.
We increasingly depend upon our IT systems to conduct virtually all of our business operations, ranging from our internal operations and product development activities to the provision of the TiVo service to our MSO and retail customers to our marketing and sales efforts as well as communications with our MSO and retail customers and business partners. Computer programmers have attempted to penetrate our network security and our website. Such cyberattacks threaten to misappropriate our proprietary information and cause interruption of our ability to provide the TiVo service to our MSO and retail customers and disrupt our back-end IT services. Because the techniques used by such computer programmers to access or sabotage networks change frequently and may not be recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques. In addition, sophisticated hardware and operating system software, services, and applications that we produce or procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture, including “bugs” and other problems, that could unexpectedly interfere with the operation of such systems, services and technologies. We have also outsourced a number of our business functions, including manufacturing, software development, and other activities, to third party contractors, and our business operations also depend, in part, on the success of our contractors’ own cybersecurity measures. Similarly, we rely upon distributors, resellers, and third party manufacturers and licensees to sell our products and our sales operations depend, in part, on the reliability of their cybersecurity measures. Additionally, we depend upon our employees to appropriately handle confidential data and deploy our IT resources in safe and secure fashion that does not expose our network systems to security breaches and the loss of data. Accordingly, if our cybersecurity systems and those of our contractors fail to protect against unauthorized access, sophisticated cyberattacks and the mishandling of data by our employees and contractors, our ability to conduct our business effectively could be damaged in a number of ways, including:
| |
• | sensitive data regarding our business and our customers’ businesses, including intellectual property and other proprietary data, could be stolen; |
| |
• | our electronic communications systems, including email and other methods, could be disrupted, and our ability to conduct our business operations could be seriously damaged until such systems can be restored and secured; |
| |
• | our ability to process customer orders and electronically deliver products and services could be degraded, and our distribution channels could be disrupted, resulting in delays in revenue recognition; |
| |
• | defects and security vulnerabilities could be exploited or introduced into our software products, thereby damaging the reputation and perceived reliability and security of our products and potentially making the data systems of our customers vulnerable to further data loss and cyberincidents; and |
| |
• | personally identifiable data of our customers, employees and business partners could be stolen or lost. |
Should any of the above events occur, we could be subject to significant claims for liability from our customers, regulatory actions from governmental agencies, our ability to protect our intellectual property rights could be compromised and our reputation and competitive position could be significantly harmed. Also, the regulatory and contractual actions, litigations, investigations, fines, penalties and liabilities relating to data breaches that result in losses of personally identifiable or credit card information of users of our services can be significant in terms of fines and reputational impact and necessitate changes to our business operations that may be disruptive to us. Additionally, we could incur significant costs in order to upgrade our cybersecurity systems and remediate damages. Consequently, our financial performance and results of operations could be adversely affected.
The nature of our business requires the application of complex revenue and expense recognition rules and the current legislative and regulatory environment affecting U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") is uncertain and volatile, and significant changes in current principles could affect our financial statements going forward.
The accounting rules and regulations that we must comply with are complex. Recent actions and public comments from the Securities Exchange Commission and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") have focused on the integrity of financial reporting generally. In addition, many companies' accounting policies are being subject to heightened scrutiny by regulators and the public. Further, the accounting rules and regulations are continually changing in ways that could materially impact our financial statements. For example, in May 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting guidance on revenue recognition, Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), that becomes effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method.
We have not yet selected a transition method and continue to evaluate the impact that this guidance will have on our financial condition and results of operations. Regardless of the transition method, the application of this new guidance may result in exclusion of certain future licensing revenues in the statement of operations after the adoption date, which, despite no change in associated cash flows, could have a material adverse effect on our net income.
While we believe that our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we cannot predict the impact of future changes to accounting principles or our accounting policies on our financial statements going forward. In addition, were we to change our critical accounting estimates, including the timing of recognition of revenue from our product lifetime subscriptions and other revenue sources, our results of operations could be significantly impacted.
