(Nasdaq: TIVO), the creator of and a leader in television services for digital video recorders (DVRs), today reported financial results for the first quarter ended April 30, 2007. Tom Rogers, CEO of TiVo said, "This quarter was all about steady progress across many areas of our business. What is very exciting to note is that this was a period where we continued to develop and bring to market additional key features that further position and differentiate TiVo from generic DVR alternatives. We improved our financial profile by posting both positive Adjusted EBITDA and net income. We solidified our standing as the only DVR platform with a comprehensive advertising solution. We made significant progress in our mass distribution strategy with our Comcast related efforts and we are very excited that Comcast indicated the Boston area as the first market for the product. Our advertising sales business had a solid quarter with revenues up nicely on a year-over-year basis. And, through the successful launch of Amazon Unbox on TiVo, which now has about 10,000 titles available to TiVo subscribers, we ushered in a new era of delivering premium broadband content directly to the television set." For the first quarter, TiVo reported net income of $835 thousand and net income per share of $0.01, compared to a net loss of ($10.7) million, or ($0.13) per share, for the first quarter of last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $6.7 million, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of ($6.9) million in the year-ago period. Service revenues were $54.2 million, compared to the year ago quarter when service revenues were $47.0 million. Service and technology revenues were $58.1 million, compared with $55.0 million for the same period last year. Technology revenues were $3.9 million. In the year-ago period technology revenues were $8.1 million, which included $4.6 million of recognized technology revenues in connection with TiVo's Comcast development work done during fiscal year 2006. Mr. Rogers continued, "There are a number of compelling opportunities over the course of this year that we expect to help accelerate our business, including the roll out of our service with Comcast and then later in the year, the Cox equivalent product, driving TiVo-Owned subscriptions through our new marketing campaign, introducing a lower priced HD box later this year, and continuing to make substantial progress on the patent litigation front. We believe our Company is in strong financial shape and that our business model is poised to bring about substantial future growth." "In terms of our overall strategy, we are focused on driving our distribution, both through increased TiVo-Owned subscriptions and through significant partnerships. To accomplish this strategy, we must continue to differentiate TiVo in ways that better connect viewers with when, where, and how they get their television. In doing so, we expect our advertising business to grow with the number of subscriptions as well as the number of advertisers that are adopting TiVo advertising solutions," Mr. Rogers said. A broadband-enabled TiVo gives a viewer a substantial increase in the number of television choices and a whole new level of control over the television experience. Unique features introduced in the last three months include:
-- Amazon Unbox on TiVo: Provides TiVo subscribers with the ability to
rent and purchase movies and television shows from leading studios and
networks including Fox Entertainment Group, Paramount Pictures,
Universal Studios Home Entertainment, Warner Bros. Entertainment,
Lionsgate, CBS and Sony Pictures, and deliver them directly to the
television. Amazon Unbox currently has about 10,000 titles and early
results from this offering have been positive.
-- Universal Swivel Search: The first truly TV-centric on-screen search
tool, allowing subscribers to explore and discover broadcast, cable and
broadband content in one easy-to-use experience.
-- TiVo Home Movie Sharing: In conjunction with One True Media, TiVo
empowers its subscribers to share home movies directly through the TiVo
service, as seen in one of TiVo's television spots, where "grandma
wipes away her tears with a TiVo antenna as she watches a home movie of
her grandson." This is an example of a way a non-technical audience
connects to TiVo's differentiated features.
-- TiVo Mobile from Verizon Wireless: Allows subscribers to see what's
scheduled to be on TV, and schedule TiVo recordings from almost
anywhere.
In the next two months, TiVo expects to introduce a number of additional differentiated features, which will further set the TiVo service apart from the competition. TiVo-Owned subscription gross additions for the first quarter were 57,000, compared to 91,000 gross additions for the year-ago period. Overall, TiVo-Owned subscriptions increased slightly to 1.7 million from 1.5 million in the year ago-period. As expected, TiVo reported a net decline in DIRECTV TiVo subscriptions during the period as DIRECTV is no longer deploying new TiVo boxes. Cumulative total subscriptions as of January 31, 2007 were 4.3 million. Additionally, the monthly churn rate was 1.1% compared to 0.9% in the year-ago period and down from 1.2% in the prior quarter. Mr. Rogers continued, "Last quarter, we outlined five new growth engines we believed would drive measurable success in fiscal year 2008. During the first quarter, we achieved a number of milestones against each of these growth engines. Following are some highlights:
-- First, we introduced additional broadband content initiatives.
Underscoring our market leadership in this area is the successful
launch of Amazon Unbox on TiVo, where we are taking premium,
full-length content and delivering it directly to the TV in a simple,
elegant and easy to use way for consumers.
-- Second, our mass distribution strategy took a major step forward, as
the trials are progressing well and Comcast indicated that Boston and
other parts of the New England Division will be the first market for
the product. We also announced a long-term, strategic partnership with
Seven of Australia to market and distribute TiVo products and services
in Australia and New Zealand. This deal will give access to the TiVo
service to nearly 20 million Australians who watch free-to-air
television every week. This is TiVo's first deal around the DVB-T
digital television standard, a television standard which is currently
used in more than 30 countries.
-- Third, we continue to make progress toward a lower-priced, mass appeal
High Definition unit, which is expected to be available later this year
and will complement the important role that TiVo is playing in working
with retailers to offer High Definition products and services to
consumers.
-- Fourth, we launched our advertising campaign in early May after the
first quarter ended, which is intended to educate the marketplace on
the unique and distinct elements of the TiVo service and highlight
TiVo's advantage over generic DVRs. This campaign is focused on
branding versus direct response, so we anticipate the campaign will
build momentum over time. We are carefully monitoring the
effectiveness of this campaign.
-- Fifth, we are reducing hardware subsidies and moving toward an
advertising-centric approach that we believe will positively affect our
financial profile in the future. To that end, we are beginning to see
the impact of this shift materialize, as we delivered better than
expected Adjusted EBITDA performance for the quarter, which has
positioned us well to meet our objective of getting closer to Adjusted
EBITDA break-even for fiscal year 2008, assuming gross subscription
addition levels similar to those achieved in fiscal year 2007.
In addition to these five growth engines, we continue to see progress on the advertising front, with ratings data in DVR households taking hold as an important measurement tool for advertising by the multi-billion dollar television industry. We believe our data is increasingly becoming an important element in the evaluation of advertising purchases. To that end, during this last quarter, IPG and Starcom purchased subscriptions to our Stop||Watch Ratings service, providing them with syndicated second-by-second, time-shift, program, and commercial DVR ratings data. On the litigation front, our case against EchoStar is progressing and we are moving closer to resolution at the Federal Circuit of Appeals. EchoStar has filed its appellate brief and we filed our responsive brief today. Recently, AT&T attempted to file an amicus brief on behalf of EchoStar which was denied by the Federal Circuit. We remain confident in our position and look for the Federal Circuit to rule soon. Our results this quarter are an indication of the growing momentum we are seeing in terms of our overall financial profile. This, along with our advertising campaign, the new features that we have introduced and will continue to introduce, and the mass distribution opportunities we have with Comcast and Cox, we believe will make fiscal 2008 a year where we can build significant value for TiVo." Management Provides Financial Guidance Steve Sordello, CFO of TiVo, said, "It is TiVo's goal to continue to invest for long-term growth, while improving bottom-line performance. To that end, we are investing aggressively in our product and are transitioning from extensive hardware subsidies to a more advertising driven marketing approach. We are pleased we are seeing the results of this approach this past quarter, as we were profitable on a net income and Adjusted EBITDA basis." For the second quarter of fiscal 2008, TiVo anticipates service and technology revenues in the range of $57 million to $59 million, a net loss in the range of $5 million to $8 million, and an Adjusted EBITDA in the range of a loss of $3 million to breakeven. This financial guidance is based on information available to management as of May 30, 2007. TiVo expressly disclaims any duty to update this guidance. Management's guidance includes Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Regulation G. TiVo has provided a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) in the attached schedules solely for the purpose of complying with Regulation G and not as an indication that EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA is a substitute measure for net income (loss).

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Results. TiVo's "EBITDA" means income before interest income and expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. TiVo's "Adjusted EBITDA" is EBITDA less expense for stock-based compensation. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles, which we refer to as GAAP. TiVo's EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA results are calculated by adjusting GAAP net income to exclude the effects of items that management believes are not directly related to the underlying performance of TiVo's core business operations. A table reconciling TiVo's EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income is included with the condensed consolidated financial statements attached to this release. We have presented EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA solely as supplemental disclosure because we believe they allow for a more complete analysis of our results of operations and we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are commonly used to analyze companies on the basis of operating performance, leverage and liquidity. In addition, because of the variety of equity awards used by companies, the varying methodologies for determining stock-based compensation expense, and the subjective assumptions involved in those determinations, we believe excluding stock-based compensation enhances the ability of management and investors to compare our core operating results over multiple periods. We do not use stock-based compensation expense in our internal measures. A limitation associated with these non-GAAP measures is that they do not include any stock-based compensation expense related to hiring, retaining, and incentivizing the Company's workforce. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to represent, and should not be considered more meaningful than, or as an alternative to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP."

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, and increased price sensitivity 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.

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 acquisition costs for a given period divided by TiVo-Owned subscription gross additions for the same period. In the first fiscal quarter of 2008, we revised our definition of total acquisition costs. Previously, we defined total acquisition costs as the sum of sales and marketing expenses, rebates, revenue share, and other payments to channel, minus hardware gross margin (defined as hardware revenues less cost of hardware revenues). This previous measure included fixed costs not directly associated with subscription acquisitions such as headcount related expense, like stock based compensation; certain marketing expenses that are not directly associated with subscription acquisitions; certain operating expenses more directly related to our advertising sales business; and overhead allocations. We now define total acquisition costs as sales and marketing, subscription acquisition costs less net hardware revenues (defined as gross hardware revenues less rebates, revenue share and market development funds paid to retailers) plus cost of hardware revenues. The new sales and marketing, subscription acquisition costs line item includes advertising expenses and promotion related expenses directly related to subscription acquisition activities. All prior period SAC calculations have been revised to conform to the current period calculation. We do not include third parties subscription gross additions, such as DIRECTV gross additions with TiVo subscriptions, in our calculation of SAC because we incur limited or no acquisition costs for these new subscriptions. 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.

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 revenues from a variety of sources, including subscription fees, advertising, and audience research measurement. ARPU does not include rebates, revenue share and other payments to channel that reduce our GAAP revenues. As a result, you 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 nature of these expenses and because management believes these expenses 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 ARPU per month for TiVo-Owned subscriptions by subtracting DIRECTV-related service revenues (which includes DIRECTV subscription service revenues and DIRECTV-related advertising revenues) from our total reported net service revenues and dividing the result by the number of months in the period. We then divide by Average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for the period, calculated as described above for churn rate. The above table shows this calculation and reconciles ARPU for TiVo-Owned subscriptions to our reported net service and technology revenues. We calculate ARPU per month for DIRECTV subscriptions by first subtracting TiVo-Owned-related service revenues (which includes TiVo-Owned subscription service revenues and TiVo-Owned related advertising revenues) from our total reported net service revenues. Then we divide average revenues per month for DIRECTV-related service revenues by average subscriptions for the period. The above table shows this calculation and reconciles ARPU for DIRECTV subscriptions to net service and technology revenues. Beginning in February 2006, pursuant to the most recent amendment of our agreement with DIRECTV, TiVo defers a portion of the DIRECTV subscription fees equal to the fair value of the undelivered development services. Additionally, beginning in February 2007, DIRECTV began paying us a monthly fee for all DIRECTV households with DIRECTV receivers with TiVo service similar to the lower amount paid by DIRECTV for households with DIRECTV receivers with TiVo service deployed since March 15, 2002, subject to a monthly minimum payment by DIRECTV. As a result, our DIRECTV ARPU decreased relative to the same period last year.
