NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Rovi Corporation (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is focused on powering entertainment discovery and personalization through product technology and intellectual property and using data and analytics to monetize interactions across multiple entertainment platforms. The Company provides a broad set of content discovery solutions that are embedded in our customers' products and services to connect consumers with entertainment, including device embedded and cloud-based interactive program guides (“IPGs”), natural language conversational voice and text search and recommendation services and our extensive database of "Metadata" (i.e., descriptive information, promotional images or other content that describes or relates to television shows, videos, movies, music, books, games or other entertainment content). The Company also offers advertising and a portfolio of data and analytics products including advertising and programming promotion optimization that enable audience targeting in traditional pay TV advertising along with subscriber and operator analytic and insight products that service providers can use to unlock the usage patterns and behaviors of pay TV subscribers. The Company's solutions are deployed globally in the cable, satellite, consumer electronics, entertainment, media and online distribution markets.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are considered necessary to present fairly the results for the periods presented.

The information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto and other disclosures contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016, for any future year, or for any other future interim period.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Rovi Corporation and subsidiaries and affiliates in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported results of operations for the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, long-lived asset impairment, including goodwill and intangible assets, equity-based compensation and income taxes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of Risk

As a percent of revenue, customers and concentrations of customers representing more than 10% of revenue were as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015
AT&T Inc.	13	%	13	%
Aggregate of AT&T Inc., Comcast Corporation and Time Warner Cable Inc.	27	%	24	%

Substantially all of the Company's revenue from AT&T Inc. is reported in the Intellectual Property Licensing segment. In March 2016, the Company's contract with Time Warner Cable Inc. was extended to December 2016. The Company's contract with Comcast Corporation expired on April 1, 2016. The Company's contract with AT&T expires in December 2022.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, one customer represented 30.1% and 21.9% of Accounts receivable, net, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Standards Recently Adopted

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance to help entities evaluate whether fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement include a software license. Pursuant to this guidance, when a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer accounts for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. When a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license element, the customer accounts for the arrangement as a service contract. The prospective adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2016 did not have a material effect on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Standards Pending Adoption

In March 2016, the FASB simplified certain areas of accounting for stock-based compensation, including accounting for the income tax consequences of stock-based compensation, determining the classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, classifying certain items within the statement of cash flows and introducing an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures of nonvested awards as they occur. The simplified guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017. Depending on the area simplified, the guidance is effective either prospectively, retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adoption on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB clarified the requirements for assessing whether contingent options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments require bifurcation as an embedded derivative. The amendments require a contingent option embedded in a debt instrument to be evaluated for possible separate accounting as a derivative instrument without regard to the nature of the exercise contingency. The clarified guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017 using a modified retrospective approach with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adoption on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard for leases. The new standard generally requires the recognition of financing and operating lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet. For financing leases, a lessee recognizes amortization of the right-of-use asset as an operating expense over the lease term separately from interest on the lease liability. For operating leases, a lessee recognizes its total lease expense as an operating expense over the lease term. The amendments are effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019 using a modified retrospective approach with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adoption on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and expects that its existing operating lease commitments will be recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.

Table of Contents

In January 2016, the FASB amended certain aspects of the recognition and measurement guidance for financial assets and liabilities. The amendments are effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018 with the effect of adoption recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adoption on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an amended accounting standard for revenue recognition. The amendments address how revenue is recognized in order to improve comparability between the financial statements of companies applying U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The core principle of the amended standard is for an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments are effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018 and may be applied using a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted beginning in Rovi's first quarter of 2017. The Company is evaluating the effect the amendments and transition alternatives will have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company attributes unrealized losses on its auction rate securities to liquidity issues rather than credit issues. The Company’s auction rate securities are comprised solely of AAA-rated investments in federally insured student loans. The Company continues to earn interest on its auction rate securities and has the ability and intent to hold these securities until they recover their amortized cost.

(3) Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company uses valuation techniques that are based on observable and unobservable inputs to measure fair value. Observable inputs are developed using publicly available information and reflect the assumptions market participants would use, while unobservable inputs are developed using the best information available about the assumptions market participants would use. Fair value measurements are classified in a hierarchy that gives the highest priority to observable inputs and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety:

Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2. Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or market-corroborated inputs.

Level 3. Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Assets and liabilities reported at fair value on a recurring basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were classified in the fair value hierarchy as follows (in thousands):

Valuation Techniques

The fair value of marketable securities, other than auction rate securities, is estimated using observable market-corroborated inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets, obtained from a third party pricing service.

The fair value of auction rate securities is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis or other type of valuation model. These estimates are highly judgmental and incorporate, among other items, the likelihood of redemption, credit and liquidity spreads, duration, interest rates and the timing and amount of expected future cash flows. These securities are also compared, when possible, to other observable data with characteristics similar to the securities held by the Company.

The fair value of interest rate swaps is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected future cash flows of each interest rate swap. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swap, including the remaining period to maturity, and uses market-corroborated inputs, including forward interest rate curves and implied interest rate volatilities. The fair value of an interest rate swap is estimated by netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the

discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are estimated based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from forward interest rate curves. The fair value of an interest rate swap also incorporates credit valuation adjustments that reflect the nonperformance risk of the Company and the respective counterparty. In adjusting the fair value of its interest rate swaps for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company considers the impact of its master netting agreements.

The fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions is estimated utilizing a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the underlying purchase agreement. The significant unobservable inputs used in calculating the fair value of the contingent consideration include financial performance scenarios, the probability of achieving those scenarios and the discount rate.

(5) Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

In the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company initiated certain facility rationalization activities, including relocating its corporate headquarters from Santa Clara, California to San Carlos, California and consolidating its Silicon Valley operations into the new corporate headquarters, and eliminated a number of positions associated with a reorganization of the sales force structure, downsizing the global services workforce and eliminating certain general and administrative positions. As a result of these actions, Restructuring and asset impairment charges of $2.3 million were recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

In conjunction with the disposition of the Rovi Entertainment Store, DivX and MainConcept businesses and the Company's narrowed business focus on discovery, in 2014 the Company conducted a review of its remaining product development, sales, data operations and general and administrative functions to identify potential cost efficiencies. As a result of this analysis, the Company took cost reduction actions that resulted in Restructuring and asset impairment charges. Amounts recognized in three months ended March 31, 2015 represent adjustments to the amounts originally recorded in connection with the 2014 restructuring actions.

2020 Convertible Notes

The Company issued $345.0 million in aggregate principal of 0.500% Convertible Senior Notes that mature March 1, 2020 (the “2020 Convertible Notes”) at par pursuant to an Indenture dated March 4, 2015 (the "2015 Indenture"). The 2020 Convertible Notes were sold in a private placement and bear interest at a rate of 0.500% payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing September 1, 2015.

The 2020 Convertible Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 34.5968 shares of common stock per $1,000 of principal of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $28.9044 per share of common stock. Holders may convert the 2020 Convertible Notes, prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2019, in multiples of $1,000 of principal under the following circumstances:

•

during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2015 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;


•	during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 of principal of 2020 Convertible Notes for each trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or


•	on the occurrence of specified corporate events.

On or after December 1, 2019 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert the 2020 Convertible Notes, in multiples of $1,000 of principal, at any time.

On conversion, a holder will receive the conversion value of the 2020 Convertible Notes converted based on the conversion rate multiplied by the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock over a specified observation period. On conversion, the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Convertible Notes converted and deliver shares of the Company’s common stock in respect of the remainder, if any, of the conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal of the 2020 Convertible Notes being converted.

The initial conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in certain events, including certain events that constitute a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the 2015 Indenture). In addition, if the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the 2015 Indenture) prior to March 1, 2020, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of the 2020 Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal of the repurchased 2020 Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The initial conversion rate is also subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

The 2020 Convertible Notes are not redeemable prior to maturity by the Company and no sinking fund is provided. The 2020 Convertible Notes are unsecured and do not contain financial covenants or restrictions on the payment of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the repurchase of other securities by the Company. The 2015 Indenture includes customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default after which the 2020 Convertible Notes may be due and payable immediately.

The Company has separately accounted for the liability and equity components of the 2020 Convertible Notes. The initial carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by estimating the value of the 2020 Convertible Notes using the Company’s estimated non-convertible borrowing rate of 4.75% at the time the instrument was issued. The carrying amount of the equity component, representing the value of the conversion option, was determined by deducting the liability component from the principal amount of the 2020 Convertible Notes. The difference between the principal amount of the 2020 Convertible Notes and the liability component is considered a debt discount which is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected term of the 2020 Convertible Notes. The equity component of the 2020 Convertible Notes was recorded as a component of Additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will not be remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. Related to the 2020 Convertible Notes, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included the following (in thousands):

The Company incurred $9.3 million in transaction costs related to the issuance of the 2020 Convertible Notes which were allocated to liability and equity components based on the relative amounts calculated for the 2020 Convertible Notes at the date of issuance. Transaction costs of $7.6 million attributable to the liability component were recorded in Long-term debt, less current portion in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected term of the 2020 Convertible Notes. Transaction costs of $1.7 million attributable to the equity component were recorded as a component of Additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Purchased Call Options and Sold Warrants

Concurrent with the issuance of the 2020 Convertible Notes, the Company paid $64.8 million to purchase call options with respect to its common stock. The call options give the Company the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to 11.9 million shares of the Company's common stock at a strike price of $28.9044 per share, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2020 Convertible Notes, and are exercisable by the Company on conversion of the 2020 Convertible Notes. The call options are intended to reduce the potential dilution from conversion of the 2020 Convertible Notes. The purchased call options are separate transactions from the 2020 Convertible Notes and holders of the 2020 Convertible Notes do not have any rights with respect to the purchased call options.

Concurrent with the issuance of the 2020 Convertible Notes, the Company received $31.3 million from the sale of warrants that provide the holder of the warrant the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to 11.9 million shares of common stock at a strike price of $40.1450 per share. The warrants are exercisable beginning June 1, 2020 and can be settled in cash or shares at the Company's election. The warrants were entered into to offset the cost of the purchased call options. The warrants are separate transactions from the 2020 Convertible Notes and holders of the 2020 Convertible Notes do not have any rights with respect to the warrants.

The amounts paid to purchase the call options and received to sell the warrants were recorded in Additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On July 2, 2014, the Company, as parent guarantor, and two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rovi Solutions Corporation and Rovi Guides, Inc., as borrowers, and certain of its other subsidiaries, as subsidiary guarantors, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provided for a (i) five-year $125.0 million term loan A facility (“Term Loan Facility A”), (ii) seven-year $700.0 million term loan B facility (“Term Loan Facility B” and together with Term Loan Facility A, the “Term Loan Facility”) and (iii) five-year $175.0 million revolving credit facility (including a letter of credit sub-facility) (the "Revolving Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”). Loans under Term Loan Facility A bore interest, at the Company's option, at a rate equal to either the London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR"), plus an applicable margin equal to 2.25% per annum, or the prime lending rate, plus an applicable margin equal to 1.25% per annum. Loans under Term Loan Facility B bear interest, at the Company's option, at a rate equal to either LIBOR, plus an applicable margin equal to 3.00% per annum (subject to a 0.75% LIBOR floor) or the prime lending rate, plus an applicable margin equal to 2.00% per annum. Loans under the Revolving Facility bore interest, at the Company's option, at a rate equal to either LIBOR, plus an applicable margin equal to 2.25% per annum, or the prime lending rate, plus an applicable margin equal to 1.25% per annum, subject to reduction by 0.25% or 0.50% based on the Company's total secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

In June 2015 and September 2015, the Company made voluntary principal prepayments of $50.0 million and $75.0 million, respectively, on Term Loan Facility A. The September 2015 voluntary principal prepayment extinguished Term Loan Facility A.

In February 2015, $100.0 million was borrowed against the Revolving Facility, in part, to extinguish a portion of the 2040 Convertible Notes. In March 2015, using a portion of the proceeds from the 2020 Convertible Notes issuance, all outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility were repaid. In September 2015, the Revolving Facility was terminated at the Company's election.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, including, among other things, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers, dispositions, prepayment of other indebtedness, and dividends and other distributions. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. The Company may be required to make an additional payment on the Term Loan Facility each February. This payment is calculated as a percentage of the prior year's Excess Cash Flow as defined in the Credit Agreement. No additional payment was required in February 2016.

Convertible Senior Notes Due 2040

The Company issued $460.0 million in aggregate principal of 2.625% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2040 at par (the “2040 Convertible Notes”) pursuant to an Indenture dated March 17, 2010 (the "2010 Indenture"). On February 20, 2015, holders of $287.4 million of outstanding principal exercised their right to require the Company to repurchase their 2040 Convertible Notes for cash. On June 30, 2015, the Company redeemed the remaining $3.6 million of outstanding 2040 Convertible Notes. In connection with these transactions, $0.1 million was recorded as Loss on debt extinguishment in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company issues long-term debt denominated in U.S. dollars based on market conditions at the time of financing and may enter into interest rate swaps to achieve a primarily fixed interest rate. Alternatively, the Company may choose not to enter into interest rate swaps or may terminate a previously executed swap if it believes a larger proportion of floating-rate debt would be beneficial. The Company has not designated any of its interest rate swaps as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company records interest rate swaps in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as Loss on interest rate swaps in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded losses of $13.1 million and $9.7 million, respectively, on its interest rate swaps.

(7) Commitments and Contingencies

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company provides indemnifications of varying scopes and amounts to certain of its licensees against claims made by third parties arising out of the use and / or incorporation of the Company's products, intellectual property, services and / or technologies into the licensees' products and services. In some cases, the Company may receive tenders of defense and indemnity arising out of products, intellectual property services and / or technologies that are no longer provided by the Company due to having divested certain assets, but which were previously licensed or provided by the Company. The Company's indemnification obligations are typically limited to the cumulative amount paid to the Company by the licensee under the license agreement; however, some license agreements, including those with the Company's largest multiple system operators and digital broadcast satellite providers, have larger limits or do not specify a limit on amounts that may be payable under the indemnity arrangements. The Company cannot estimate the possible range of losses that may affect its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in a given period or the maximum potential impact of these indemnification provisions on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is party to various legal actions, claims and proceedings as well as other actions, claims and proceedings incidental to its business. The Company accrues a liability for matters in which losses are considered probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Some of the matters pending against the Company involve potential compensatory, punitive or treble damage claims or sanctions, that, if granted, could require the Company to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As of March 31, 2016, the Company does not believe any litigation matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

(8) Stockholders' Equity

(Loss) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period, except for periods of a loss from continuing operations. In periods of a loss from continuing operations, no common share equivalents are included in Diluted EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, 0.8 million and 0.7 million weighted average performance-based restricted awards, respectively, were excluded from the computation of Diluted EPS as the performance metric had yet to be achieved or their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Effect of the 2020 Convertible Notes and related transactions on Diluted EPS

In periods when the Company reports income from continuing operations, the potential dilutive effect of additional shares that may be issued on conversion of the 2020 Convertible Notes are included in the calculation of Diluted EPS under the treasury stock method if the price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the conversion price. The 2020 Convertible Notes have no impact on Diluted EPS until the price of the Company's common stock exceeds the conversion price of $28.9044 per share because the principal of the 2020 Convertible Notes is required to be settled in cash. Based on the closing price of the Company's common stock of $20.51 per share on March 31, 2016, the if-converted value of the 2020 Convertible Notes was less than the outstanding principal.

Under the treasury stock method, the 2020 Convertible Notes would be dilutive if the Company’s common stock closes at or above $28.9044 per share. However, on conversion, no economic dilution is expected from the 2020 Convertible Notes as the exercise of call options purchased by the Company with respect to its common stock described in Note 6 is expected to eliminate any potential dilution from the 2020 Convertible Notes that would have otherwise occurred. The call options are always excluded from the calculation of Diluted EPS as they would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

The warrants sold by the Company with respect to its common stock described in Note 6 have an effect on Diluted EPS when the Company’s share price exceeds the warrant’s strike price of $40.1450 per share. As the price of the Company’s common stock increases above the warrant strike price, additional dilution would occur.

Share Repurchase Program

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company repurchased 3.3 million shares of its common stock pursuant to its Board authorized repurchase plan for $70.0 million. No shares were repurchased pursuant to the Company's Board authorized repurchase plan during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

On April 29, 2015, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $125.0 million shares of the Company's common stock. The April 2015 authorization included amounts which were outstanding under previously authorized share repurchase programs. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $50.5 million of stock repurchase authorization remaining.

Table of Contents

The Company issues restricted stock units as part of the equity incentive plans described in Note 9. For the majority of restricted stock units, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015, shares are withheld to satisfy required withholding taxes at the vesting date. Shares withheld to satisfy required withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units are treated as common stock repurchases in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements because they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued on vesting. However, these withheld shares are not considered common stock repurchases under the Company's authorized share repurchase plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company withheld 0.2 million shares of common stock to satisfy $3.8 million of required withholding taxes.

(9) Equity-based Compensation

Stock Options

The Company grants equity-based compensation awards from its 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”). As of March 31, 2016, the Company had 23.4 million shares reserved and 6.4 million shares available for issuance under the 2008 Plan. The 2008 Plan permits the grant of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and similar types of equity awards to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. Stock options generally have vesting periods of four years with one quarter of the grant vesting on the first anniversary of the grant, and the remainder vesting monthly thereafter. Stock options generally have a contractual term of seven years. Restricted stock is considered outstanding at the time of the grant as holders are entitled to voting rights. Awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units (collectively, "restricted awards") are generally subject to a four year graded vesting period.

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

For awards subject to performance conditions, the fair value per award is fixed at the grant date; however, the amount of compensation expense is adjusted throughout the performance period based on the probability of achievement of a target revenue compound annual growth rate and an Adjusted EBITDA (defined in Note 11) margin, with compensation expense based on the number of shares ultimately issued. For awards subject to a market condition, the fair value per award is fixed at the grant date and the amount of compensation expense is not adjusted during the performance period based on changes in the level of achievement of the relative Total Shareholder Return metric.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount through payroll deductions. The ESPP consists of a twenty-four month offering period with four six-month purchase periods in each offering period. Employees purchase shares each purchase period at the lower of 85% of the market value of the Company’s common stock at either the beginning of the offering period or the end of the purchase period.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had 1.4 million shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance under the ESPP.

Valuation Techniques and Assumptions

The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula to estimate the fair value of stock options and ESPP shares. The fair value of stock options and ESPP shares is estimated on the grant date using complex and subjective inputs, such as the expected volatility of the Company's common stock over the expected term of the award and projected employee exercise behavior. The Company estimates the fair value of restricted awards subject to service or performance conditions as the market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant and uses a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value of restricted stock units subject to market conditions.

Table of Contents

Assumptions used to estimate the fair value of equity-based compensation awards were as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015
Stock options:
Expected volatility	55.7	%	45.0	%
Expected term	4.1 years		4.0 years
Risk-free interest rate	1.2	%	1.3	%
Expected dividend yield	0.0	%	0.0	%
ESPP shares:
Expected volatility	60.9	%	35.0	%
Expected term	1.3 years		1.3 years
Risk-free interest rate	0.6	%	0.4	%
Expected dividend yield	0.0	%	0.0	%
Restricted stock units subject to market conditions:
Expected volatility	55.9	%	41.0	%
Expected term	3.0 years		3.0 years
Risk-free interest rate	1.0	%	1.0	%
Expected dividend yield	0.0	%	0	%

Expected volatility is estimated using a combination of historical volatility and implied volatility derived from publicly-traded options on the Company's common stock. When historical data is available and relevant, the expected term of the award is estimated by calculating the average term from historical experience. When there is insufficient historical data to provide a reasonable basis on which to estimate the expected term, the Company uses an average of the vesting period and the contractual term of the award to estimate the expected term of the award. The risk-free interest rate is the yield on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term of the award at the grant date. The Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of zero. The number of awards expected to be forfeited during the requisite service period is estimated at the time of grant using historical data to estimate pre-vesting forfeitures and equity-based compensation is only recognized for awards for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered. Forfeiture estimates are revised during the requisite service period and the effect of changes in the number of awards expected to be forfeited is recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of equity-based awards (per award) and pre-tax equity-based compensation expense (in thousands) was as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015
Stock options	$	10.30	$	9.05
ESPP shares	$	7.62	$	6.94
Restricted awards	$	24.27	$	25.53

Pre-tax equity-based compensation	$	8,438	$	12,063

As of March 31, 2016, there was $64.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested equity-based awards which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.6 years.

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the market price of the shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price of the stock option.

As of March 31, 2016, 1.2 million shares of restricted stock were outstanding and unvested, which includes 0.4 million shares of performance-based restricted stock. As of March 31, 2016, 2.5 million restricted stock units were outstanding and unvested, which includes 0.4 million performance-based restricted stock units. The aggregate fair value of restricted awards vested during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $20.2 million and $22.6 million, respectively.

(10) Income Taxes

Due to the fact that the Company has a significant net operating loss carryforward and has recorded a valuation allowance against a significant portion of its deferred tax assets, foreign withholding taxes are the primary driver of Income tax expense. Components of Income tax expense were as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015
Foreign withholding tax	$	3,707	$	3,548
State income tax	393		3,338
Foreign income tax	645		639
Change in net deferred tax liabilities	460		647
Change in unrecognized tax benefits	209		(233		)
Income tax expense	$	5,414	$	7,939

The Company believes it has provided adequate reserves for all tax deficiencies or reductions in tax benefits that could result from federal, state and foreign tax audits. The Company regularly assesses potential outcomes of these audits in order to determine the appropriateness of its tax provision. Adjustments to liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits are made to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular income tax audit. However, income tax audits are inherently unpredictable and there can be no assurance that the Company will accurately predict the outcome of these audits. The amounts ultimately paid on resolution of an audit could be materially different from the amounts previously recognized, and therefore the resolution of one or more of these uncertainties in any particular period could have a material adverse impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

(11) Segment Information

Reportable segments are identified based on the Company's organizational structure and information reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to evaluate performance and allocate resources. The Company's operations are organized into two reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Intellectual Property Licensing and Product. The Intellectual Property Licensing segment consists primarily of IPG patent licensing to third party guide developers such as multi-channel video service providers (e.g., cable, satellite and internet-protocol television), consumer electronics (“CE”) manufacturers, set-top box manufacturers and interactive television software and program guide providers in the online, over-the-top video and mobile phone businesses. The Product segment consists primarily of the licensing of Company-developed IPG products and services provided for multi-channel video service providers and CE manufacturers, in-guide advertising revenue, analytics revenue and revenue from licensing Metadata. The Product segment also includes sales of legacy Analog Content Protection, VCR Plus+, connected platform and media recognition products.

Segment results are derived from the Company's internal management reporting system. The accounting policies used to derive segment results are substantially the same as those used by the consolidated company. Intersegment revenues and expenses have been eliminated from segment financial information as transactions between reportable segments are excluded from the measure of segment profitability reviewed by the CODM. In addition, certain costs are not allocated to the segments as they are considered Corporate costs. Corporate costs primarily include general and administrative costs such as corporate management, finance, legal and human resources. The CODM uses an Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) measure to evaluate the performance of, and allocate resources to, the segments. Segment balance sheets are not used by the CODM to allocate resources or assess performance.

(12) Subsequent Event

On April 29, 2016, the Company announced it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire TiVo Inc. (“TiVo”), a global leader in next-generation video technology and innovative cloud-based software-as-a-service solutions, for $10.70 per share, which is comprised of $2.75 per share in cash and $7.95 per share of the common stock of a newly formed holding company that will own the Company and TiVo. At current prices the aggregate purchase price is approximately $1.1 billion and the cash consideration will be funded from the cash and investments on hand at the combined company. The consideration

payable in stock is subject to a two-way collar between Rovi stock prices of $16.00 and $25.00, with the Rovi stock price based on the average volume weighted average Rovi stock price over the fifteen trading days ending three trading days prior to the transaction closing. Between a Rovi stock price of $18.71 and $16.00, the Company has the option to pay incremental cash instead of issuing more shares. The definitive agreement contains additional adjustment provisions. Both companies' boards of directors have approved the transaction. The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2016, subject to approval by Rovi and TiVo stockholders, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Executive Overview of Results

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased by 12% compared to the prior year as a result of a 13% decline in revenue in our Intellectual Property Licensing segment and a 10% decline in revenue in our Product segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, 27% of revenue was from our contracts with AT&T Inc., Comcast and Time Warner Cable. In March 2016, our contract with Time Warner Cable Inc. was extended to December 2016. Our contract with Comcast Corporation expired on April 1, 2016. Our contract with AT&T expires in December 2022.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, our net loss was $17.7 million, or $0.22 of diluted loss per share, compared to a net loss of $15.5 million, or $0.18 of diluted loss per share, in the prior year. The increased loss was primarily the result of a decrease in revenue and a $3.4 million increase in Loss on interest rate swaps. These factors were partially offset by cost savings associated with lower compensation costs, including equity-based compensation, lower patent defense costs, a decrease in consulting costs, a decrease in interest costs incurred to service our debt portfolio and lower income tax expense.

Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, revenue decreased 12% compared to the prior year as a result of an $8.8 million decrease in revenue in our Intellectual Property Licensing segment and a $6.9 million decrease in revenue in our Product segment. Intellectual Property Licensing generated 47.5% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to 48.5% in the prior year. For additional details on the changes in revenue, see the discussion of our segment results below.

Cost of revenues, excluding amortization of intangible assets

Cost of revenues, excluding amortization of intangible assets, consist primarily of service costs, employee-related costs, patent prosecution, maintenance and litigation costs and an allocation of overhead and facilities costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, Cost of revenues, excluding amortization of intangible assets, decreased 20% from the prior year primarily due to a $2.5 million decrease in patent prosecution and defense costs and a decrease in compensation and consulting costs due to cost saving initiatives.

Research and development

Research and development expenses are comprised primarily of employee-related costs, consulting costs and an allocation of overhead and facilities costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, Research and development expenses decreased 15% compared to the prior year primarily due to lower spending on our Metadata operations and guide products due to cost saving initiatives.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling expenses are comprised primarily of employee-related costs, including travel costs, advertising costs and an allocation of overhead and facilities costs. General and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of employee-related costs, including travel costs, corporate accounting, tax and legal fees and an allocation of overhead and facilities costs.

Table of Contents

The 10% decrease in Selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to lower legal and consulting costs and the prior year including $0.4 million of costs incurred in 2015 related to a contested proxy election, as well as lower equity-based compensation and lower marketing spend.

Restructuring and asset impairment charges

In the three months ended March 31, 2016, we initiated certain facility rationalization activities, including relocating our corporate headquarters from Santa Clara, California to San Carlos, California and consolidating our Silicon Valley operations into the new corporate headquarters, and eliminating a number of positions associated with a reorganization of the sales force structure, downsizing the global services workforce and eliminating certain general and administrative positions. As a result of these actions, Restructuring and asset impairment charges of $2.3 million were recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

In conjunction with the disposition of the Rovi Entertainment Store, DivX and MainConcept businesses and the Company's narrowed business focus on discovery, in 2014 we conducted a review of our remaining product development, sales, data operations and general and administrative functions to identify potential cost efficiencies. As a result of this analysis, we took cost reduction actions that resulted in Restructuring and asset impairment charges of $1.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015. Amounts recognized in three months ended March 31, 2015 represent adjustments to the amounts originally recorded in connection with the 2014 restructuring actions.

Interest expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, Interest expense decreased compared to the prior year primarily due to a lower effective interest rate on the 2020 Convertible Notes compared to the 2040 Convertible Notes, as well as a decrease in average debt outstanding.

Interest income and other, net

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the decrease in Interest income and other, net was primarily due to an increased loss on foreign currency remeasurement of $0.6 million.

Loss on interest rate swaps

We have not designated any of our interest rate swaps as hedges for accounting purposes and therefore changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps are not offset by changes in the fair value of the related hedged item in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (see Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference). We generally utilize interest rate swaps to convert the interest rate on a portion of our floating interest rate loans to a fixed interest rate. Under the terms of our interest rate swaps, we generally receive a floating rate of interest and pay a fixed rate of interest. When there is an increase in expected future London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR"), we generally will have a gain when adjusting our interest rate swaps to fair value. When there is a decrease in expected future LIBOR, we generally will have a loss when adjusting our interest rate swaps to fair value.

Loss on debt extinguishment

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we redeemed $287.4 million in principal of our 2040 Convertible Notes for cash, resulting in a Loss on debt extinguishment of $0.1 million.

Income tax expense

Due to our significant net operating loss carryforward and a valuation allowance applied against a significant portion of our deferred tax assets, foreign withholding taxes are the primary driver of our Income tax expense.

We recorded Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 of $5.4 million, which primarily consists of $3.7 million of foreign withholding taxes, $0.6 million of foreign income taxes and a $0.5 million increase in net deferred tax liabilities.

Table of Contents

We recorded Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $7.9 million which primarily consists of $3.5 million of foreign withholding taxes, $3.3 million of state income taxes, a $0.6 million increase in net deferred tax liabilities and $0.6 million of foreign income taxes.

Segment Results

We report segment information in the same way management internally organizes the business for assessing performance and making decisions regarding the allocation of resources to the business units. The terms Adjusted Operating Expenses and Adjusted EBITDA in the following discussion use the definitions provided in Note 11 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Intellectual Property Licensing Segment

The Intellectual Property Licensing segment's results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the prior year were as follows (dollars in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016			2015			Change $			Change %
Service Provider	$	42,736		$	47,153		$	(4,417	)	(9	)%
Consumer Electronics	13,524			17,866			(4,342		)	(24	)%
Intellectual Property Licensing Revenues	56,260			65,019			(8,759		)	(13	)%
Adjusted Operating Expenses	14,157			16,615			(2,458		)	(15	)%
Adjusted EBITDA	$	42,103		$	48,404		$	(6,301	)	(13	)%
Adjusted EBITDA Margin	74.8		%	74.4		%

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, Intellectual Property Licensing revenue decreased 13% compared to the prior year due to a 9% decrease in revenue from Service Providers and a 24% decrease in revenue from CE manufacturers. Revenue from Service Providers decreased primarily due to a top ten North American service provider being out of license in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in revenue from consumer electronics ("CE") manufacturers was primarily due to a decrease in our licensees' market share, combined with continuing pressures on their business models, which has caused our revenue from CE manufacturers to decline. Such declines could continue unless we are able to successfully license new entrants to this market.

Intellectual Property Licensing segment Adjusted Operating Expenses decreased 15% during the three months ended March 31, 2016 primarily due to a $2.5 million decrease in patent prosecution and defense costs.

Product Segment

The Product segment's results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the prior year were as follows (dollars in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016			2015			Change $			Change %
Service Provider	$	51,106		$	51,025		$	81		—	%
Consumer Electronics	4,765			5,393			(628		)	(12	)%
Other	6,253			12,588			(6,335		)	(50	)%
Product Revenues	62,124			69,006			(6,882		)	(10	)%
Adjusted Operating Expenses	46,647			52,136			(5,489		)	(11	)%
Adjusted EBITDA	$	15,477		$	16,870		$	(1,393	)	(8	)%
Adjusted EBITDA Margin	24.9		%	24.4		%

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, Product segment revenue decreased 10% compared to the prior year as Service Provider revenue was flat, while CE revenue decreased 12% and Other revenue decreased 50%. The decrease in Other revenue was the result of the continuing decline in Analog Content Protection revenue, as well as the three months ended March 31, 2015 including a significant perpetual license fee from a manufacturer of set-top boxes. Analog Content Protection revenue is expected to continue to decline in the future.

Table of Contents

Adjusted Operating Expenses decreased 11% during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the prior year primarily as a result of a decrease in spending on our Metadata operations and guide products due to cost saving initiatives.

Corporate

Corporate costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the prior year were as follows (dollars in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015		Change $			Change %
Adjusted Operating Expenses	$	12,046	$	13,396	$	(1,350	)	(10	)%

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, Corporate Adjusted Operating Expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in compensation and consulting costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We finance our operations primarily from cash generated by our operations. We believe our cash position remains strong and our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and anticipated cash flow generated from operations, supplemented with access to capital markets as necessary, are generally sufficient to support our operating businesses, capital expenditures, restructuring activities, maturing debt, interest payments and income tax payments in addition to investments in future growth opportunities and share repurchases for at least the next twelve months. Our access to capital markets may be constrained and our cost of borrowing may increase under certain business, market and economic conditions; however, our use of a variety of funding sources to meet our liquidity needs is designed to facilitate continued access to sufficient capital resources under such conditions.

As of March 31, 2016, we had $71.8 million in Cash and cash equivalents, $120.5 million in Short-term marketable securities and $111.3 million in Long-term marketable securities. Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are held in numerous locations around the world, with $211.9 million held by our foreign subsidiaries as of March 31, 2016. Due to our net operating loss carryforwards, we could repatriate amounts held outside the U.S. to the U.S. with a minimal tax impact.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the prior year were as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016			2015			Change $			Change %
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(9,046	)	$	26,074		$	(35,120	)	(135	)%

Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(29,832	)	$	62,386		$	(92,218	)	(148	)%

Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased $35.1 million primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable, prepaying a third party for an intellectual property license in 2016 and higher payments on accounts payable and accrued liabilities. In April 2016, we collected a significant payment from our largest customer. The availability of cash generated by our operations in the future could be affected by business risks including, but not limited to, the Risk Factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased $103.4 million due to a decrease in net proceeds from net sales and maturities of marketable securities of $92.6 million and higher spending on capital expenditures associated with relocating our corporate headquarters to San Carlos, California. The three months ended March 31, 2016 includes a payment of $2.5 million for the purchase of a patent portfolio. We anticipate capital

Table of Contents

expenditures to grow our business and strengthen our operations infrastructure of between $25 million and $30 million for the full year 2016.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 included the receipt of $7.2 million from the exercise of employee stock options and sales of stock through our employee stock purchase plan and a $1.8 million principal payment on our Term Loan Facility B. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 included $287.4 million in principal payments on our 2040 Convertible Notes and the issuance of $345.0 million in principal of our 2020 Convertible Notes. Using proceeds from the 2020 Convertible Notes, we repaid $100.0 million which had been borrowed against our Revolving Facility in February 2015, in part, to extinguish a portion of the 2040 Convertible Notes. In connection with issuing the 2020 Convertible Notes, we purchased a call option to manage the potential dilution to earnings per share from conversion of the 2020 Convertible Notes and sold a warrant for a net cash payment of $33.5 million. The three months ended March 31, 2015 also includes the payment of $3.0 million in contingent consideration related to previous acquisitions. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2015 we used $60.5 million to repurchase shares of our common stock and received $5.7 million from the exercise of employee stock options and sales of stock through our employee stock purchase plan.

On April 29, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $125.0 million of our common stock. The April 2015 authorization includes any amounts which were outstanding under previously authorized stock repurchase programs. As of March 31, 2016, our remaining stock repurchase authorization was $50.5 million.

Pending Acquisition of TiVo

On April 29, 2016, we announced we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire TiVo Inc. (“TiVo”), a global leader in next-generation video technology and innovative cloud-based software-as-a-service solutions, for $10.70 per share comprised of $2.75 per share in cash and $7.95 per share of the common stock of a newly formed holding company that will own the Company and TiVo. At current prices the aggregate purchase price is approximately $1.1 billion. The consideration payable in stock is subject to a two-way collar between Rovi stock prices of $16.00 and $25.00, with the Rovi stock price based on the average volume weighted average Rovi stock price over the fifteen trading days ending three trading days prior to the transaction closing. If our share price increases between the date of the purchase agreement and the transaction closing, TiVo stockholders will receive fewer shares (a lower exchange ratio) until our share price reaches $25.00, at which point ownership and exchange ratio will be fixed at 0.3180 per share. Conversely, if our share price decreases between date of the purchase agreement and the date the transaction closes, TiVo stockholders will receive more shares until our stock price reaches $18.71. Between a share price of $18.71 (an exchange ratio of 0.4250 per share) and $16.00 (an exchange ratio of 0.4969 per share), we have the option to pay incremental cash instead of issuing more shares. Depending upon what we elect to do if our stock price is between $16.00 and $18.71, the cash consideration could range from approximately $277 million to $392 million. If our stock price is below $16.00, we have the option to select an exchange ratio between 0.4250 and 0.4969 and the cash consideration would be calculated based upon the exchange ratio selected, but in no event will the cash consideration be more than $3.90 per share. The closing of the transaction will also trigger a fundamental change under the indenture governing TiVo’s $230 million 2% convertible senior notes due 2021, which will require TiVo to offer to repurchase the notes at par plus accrued and unpaid interest. We anticipate most, if not all, of the TiVo noteholders will require TiVo to repurchase their notes. The transaction’s cash consideration and the repurchase of the TiVo convertible notes will be funded from the cash and investments on hand at the combined company. Both companies' boards of directors have approved the transaction. The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2016, subject to approval by Rovi and TiVo stockholders, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

2020 Convertible Notes

We issued $345.0 million in aggregate principal of 0.500% Convertible Notes that matures on March 1, 2020 at par pursuant to an Indenture dated March 4, 2015 (the "2015 Indenture"). The 2020 Convertible Notes may be converted, under certain circumstances, based on an initial conversion rate of 34.5968 shares of common stock per $1,000 of principal of notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $28.9044 per share). Holders may convert the 2020 Convertible Notes prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2019, in multiples of $1,000 of principal under the following circumstances:

•

during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2015 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;


•	during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 of principal of 2020 Convertible Notes for each trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or


•	on the occurrence of specified corporate events.

On conversion, a holder will receive the conversion value of the 2020 Convertible Notes converted based on the conversion rate multiplied by the volume-weighted average price of our common stock over a specified observation period. On conversion, we will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Convertible Notes converted and deliver shares of our common stock in respect of the remainder, if any, of the conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal of the 2020 Convertible Notes being converted.

The initial conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in certain events, including certain events that constitute a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the 2015 Indenture). In addition, if we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the 2015 Indenture) prior to March 1, 2020, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or a portion of the 2020 Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal of the repurchased 2020 Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The initial conversion rate is also subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

The 2020 Convertible Notes are not redeemable prior to maturity by us and no sinking fund is provided. The 2020 Convertible Notes are unsecured and do not contain financial covenants or restrictions on the payment of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the repurchase of other securities by us. The 2015 Indenture includes customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default after which the 2020 Convertible Notes may be due and payable immediately.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On July 2, 2014, we, as parent guarantor, and two of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rovi Solutions Corporation and Rovi Guides, Inc., as borrowers, and certain of our other subsidiaries, as subsidiary guarantors, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provided for a (i) five-year $125.0 million term loan A facility (the “Term Loan Facility A”), (ii) seven-year $700.0 million term loan B facility (the “Term Loan Facility B” and together with Term Loan Facility A, the “Term Loan Facility”) and (iii) five-year $175.0 million revolving credit facility (including a letter of credit sub-facility) (the "Revolving Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”).

As a result of voluntary principal prepayments in June 2015 and September 2015, Term Loan Facility A was extinguished. In September 2015, the Revolving Facility was terminated at our election.

Term Loan Facility B amortizes in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1% of the original principal amount thereof, with any remaining balance payable on the final maturity date of Term Loan Facility B. Loans under Term Loan Facility B bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either LIBOR, plus an applicable margin equal to 3.00% per annum (subject to a 0.75% LIBOR floor) or the prime lending rate, plus an applicable margin equal to 2.00% per annum.

Table of Contents

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants applicable to us and our subsidiaries, including, among other things, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers, dispositions, prepayment of other indebtedness, dividends and other distributions. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. We may be required to make an additional payment on Term Loan Facility B each February. This payment is calculated as a percentage of the prior year's Excess Cash Flow as defined in the Credit Agreement. No payment was required in February 2016.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Our estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Making estimates, assumptions and judgments about future events is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Management believes the estimates, assumptions and judgments employed and resulting balances reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ materially.

There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those disclosed in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Contractual Obligations

For information about our contractual obligations, see "Contractual Obligations" in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference. Our contractual obligations have not changed materially since December 31, 2015.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

For information about our off-balance sheet arrangements, see "Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements" in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference. Since December 31, 2015, we have not engaged in any material off-balance sheet arrangements, including the use of structured finance vehicles, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risks, including those related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and security prices that could impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2015.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). In evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls

and procedures. Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We believe there have been no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The information contained in Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

On April 29, 2016, the Company announced it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire TiVo Inc. (“TiVo”), a global leader in next-generation video technology and innovative cloud-based software-as-a-service solutions, for $10.70 per share, which is comprised of $2.75 per share in cash and $7.95 per share of the common stock of a newly formed holding company (“HoldCo”) that will own the Company and TiVo following two mergers. In light of that announcement, the Company has modified the risk factors as disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference, to add the following additional risk factors:

Rovi cannot be sure of the market value of the shares of HoldCo common stock to be issued upon completion of the mergers.

The market values of Rovi common stock at the time of the mergers may vary significantly from its prices on the date the merger agreement was executed, and the date on which Rovi stockholders vote on the mergers. The market value of the HoldCo common stock issued in the mergers and the Rovi common stock surrendered in the mergers may be higher or lower than the values of these shares on earlier dates. 100% of the Rovi merger consideration to be received by Rovi stockholders will be HoldCo common stock. The purchase price for the TiVo common stock is $10.70 per share, comprised partially of cash and partially of shares of Holdco common stock in an amount based on an exchange ratio. Under the merger agreement, the exchange ratio is subject to adjustment depending on the average price of Rovi common stock calculated prior to the date of the Rovi merger, and that adjustment could result in more or less shares of Holdco common stock being issued to TiVo stockholders.

Changes in the market prices of Rovi common stock may result from a variety of factors that are beyond the control of Rovi, including changes in its businesses, operations and prospects, regulatory considerations, governmental actions, and legal proceedings and developments. Market assessments of the benefits of the mergers, the likelihood that the mergers will be completed, and general and industry-specific market and economic conditions may also have an effect on the market price of Rovi common stock. Changes in market prices of Rovi common stock may also be caused by fluctuations and developments affecting domestic and global securities markets. Neither Rovi nor TiVo is permitted to terminate the merger agreement solely because of changes in the market price of either party’s respective common stock.

In addition, it is anticipated that the mergers may not be completed until a significant period of time has passed after the stockholder meetings to vote on the acquisition. As a result, the market values of Rovi common stock may vary significantly from the date of the stockholder meetings to the date of the completion of the mergers. There is no assurance that the mergers will be completed, that there will not be a delay in the completion of the mergers or that all or any of the anticipated benefits of the mergers will be obtained.

Obtaining required regulatory approvals may prevent or delay completion of the mergers or reduce the anticipated benefits of the mergers or may require changes to the structure or terms of the mergers.

Consummation of the mergers is conditioned upon, among other things, the expiration or termination of the waiting period (and any extensions thereof) applicable to the mergers under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. At any time before or after the mergers are consummated, the Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, or U.S. state attorneys general or foreign governmental authorities could take action under the antitrust laws in opposition to the mergers, including seeking to enjoin completion of the mergers, condition completion of the mergers upon the divestiture of assets of Rovi, TiVo or their subsidiaries or impose restrictions on HoldCo’s post-merger operations. These could negatively affect the results of operations and financial condition of the combined company following completion of the mergers. Any such requirements or restrictions may prevent or delay completion of the mergers or may reduce the anticipated benefits of the mergers, which could also have a material adverse effect on the combined company’s business and cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. No assurance can be given that the required regulatory approvals will be obtained or that the required conditions to closing will be satisfied, and, even if all such approvals are obtained and the conditions are satisfied, no assurance can be given as to the terms, conditions and timing of the approvals.

Table of Contents

Failure to successfully combine the businesses of Rovi and TiVo in the expected time frame may adversely affect HoldCo’s future results.

The success of the mergers will depend, in part, on HoldCo’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits from combining the businesses of Rovi and TiVo. To realize these anticipated benefits, the businesses of Rovi and TiVo must be successfully combined. Historically, Rovi and TiVo have been independent companies, and they will continue to be operated as such until the completion of the mergers. The management of HoldCo may face significant challenges in consolidating the functions of TiVo and Rovi, integrating the technologies, organizations, procedures, policies and operations, as well as integrating the different business cultures of the two companies, and retaining key personnel. If the combined company is not successfully integrated, the anticipated benefits of the mergers may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. The integration may also be complex and time consuming, and require substantial resources and effort. The integration process and other disruptions resulting from the mergers may also disrupt each company’s ongoing businesses and/or adversely affect our relationships with employees, regulators and others with whom we have business or other dealings.

Rovi will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the mergers are pending.

Uncertainty about the effect of the mergers on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on Rovi and consequently on the combined company. These uncertainties may impair Rovi’s ability to retain and motivate key personnel and could cause customers and others that deal with Rovi to defer entering into contracts with Rovi or making other decisions concerning Rovi or seek to change existing business relationships with Rovi. In addition, if key employees depart because of uncertainty about their future roles and the potential complexities of the mergers, Rovi’s business could be harmed. In addition, the merger agreement restricts Rovi from making certain acquisitions and taking other specified actions until the mergers occur without the consent of the other party. These restrictions may prevent Rovi from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the mergers.

The merger agreement limits Rovi’s ability to pursue alternatives to the mergers.

Rovi has agreed that it will not solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or take any other action designed to facilitate inquiries or the making of any proposals which may reasonably be expected to lead to any takeover proposal, engage in discussions or negotiations regarding takeover proposals, subject to limited exceptions, including that a party may take certain actions in the event it receives an unsolicited takeover proposal that constitutes a superior proposal or is reasonably expected to lead to a superior proposal, and the party’s board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that a failure to take action with respect to such takeover proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties. Rovi has also agreed that its board of directors will not change its recommendation to its stockholders or approve any alternative agreement, subject to limited exceptions, including that, at any time prior to stockholder approval, the board of directors may make a change in recommendation (i) in response to an intervening event (as defined in the merger agreement) and the board concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties to Rovi’s stockholders under applicable laws; or (ii) in response to a superior proposal, if the board of directors concludes that a failure to change its recommendation would be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties to Rovi’s stockholders under applicable laws and, if requested by TiVo, Rovi’s representatives shall have negotiated in good faith with TiVo for five business days (and in the case of any material amendment or modification to such superior proposal, for a period expiring upon the later to occur of three business days and the end of such five business day period) regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement proposed by TiVo in response to such superior proposal. In addition, under specified circumstances, Rovi may be required to pay TiVo a termination fee of $36.6 million or $9.2 million (depending on the specific circumstances) if the merger is not consummated. These provisions might discourage a potential competing acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of Rovi from considering or proposing an acquisition or might result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay a lower price per share to acquire Rovi than it might otherwise have been willing to pay.

Failure to complete the mergers could negatively impact the stock price, business and financial results of Rovi.

If the mergers are not completed, the ongoing business of Rovi may be adversely affected and Rovi will be subject to several risks and consequences, including the following:


•	Rovi may be required, under certain circumstances, to pay TiVo a termination fee of $36.6 million or $9.2 million (depending on the specific circumstances);


•	Rovi will be required to pay certain costs relating to the mergers, whether or not the mergers are completed, such as significant fees and expenses relating to legal, accounting, financial advisor and printing fees;


•	under the merger agreement, Rovi is subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of its business prior to completing the mergers which may adversely affect its ability to execute certain of its business strategies; and

Table of Contents


•	matters relating to the mergers may require substantial commitments of time and resources by Rovi management, which could otherwise have been devoted to other opportunities that may have been beneficial to Rovi as an independent company.

In addition, if the mergers are not completed, Rovi may experience negative reactions from the financial markets and from its customers and employees. Rovi also could be subject to litigation related to a failure to complete the mergers or to enforce its obligations under the merger agreement. If the mergers are not consummated, Rovi cannot assure you that the risks described will not materially affect the business, financial results and stock price of Rovi.

Rovi and HoldCo will incur significant transaction and merger-related transition costs in connection with the mergers.

Rovi expects that it and HoldCo will incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the mergers and integrating the operations of Rovi and TiVo. Rovi may incur additional costs to maintain employee morale and to retain key employees. Rovi will also incur significant fees and expenses relating to legal, accounting and other transaction fees and other costs associated with the mergers. Some of these costs are payable regardless of whether the mergers are completed. Moreover, under specified circumstances, Rovi may be required to pay a termination fee of $36.6 million or $9.2 million (depending on the specific circumstances) if the merger is not consummated.

Rovi and, subsequently, the combined company must continue to retain, motivate and recruit executives and other key employees, which may be difficult in light of uncertainty regarding the mergers, and failure to do so could negatively affect the combined company.

For the mergers to be successful, during the period before the mergers are completed, Rovi must continue to retain, motivate and recruit executives and other key employees. Moreover, the combined company must be successful at retaining and motivating key employees following the completion of the mergers. Experienced employees in the industries in which Rovi operates are in high demand and competition for their talents can be intense. Employees of both Rovi and TiVo may experience uncertainty about their future role with the combined company until, or even after, strategies with regard to the combined company are announced or executed. The potential distractions of the mergers may adversely affect the ability of Rovi or, following completion of the mergers the combined company, to retain, motivate and recruit executives and other key employees and keep them focused on applicable strategies and goals. A failure by Rovi or, following the completion of the mergers, the combined company, to attract, retain and motivate executives and other key employees during the period prior to or after the completion of the mergers could have a negative impact on the business of Rovi or the combined company.

Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) may be limited; we have adopted an NOL Rights Plan that may act as an anti-takeover device.

As of December 31, 2015, we had U.S. federal NOLs of $1.2 billion. The $1.2 billion in U.S. federal NOLs will begin to expire in various years between 2020 and 2033, if not limited by triggering events prior to such time. Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, changes in our ownership, in certain circumstances, will limit the amount of U.S. federal NOLs that can be utilized annually in the future to offset taxable income. In particular, Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes limitations on a company’s ability to use NOLs upon certain changes in such ownership. Calculations pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code can be very complicated and no assurance can be given that upon further analysis, our ability to take advantage of our NOLs may be limited to a greater extent than we currently anticipate. If we are limited in our ability to use our NOLs in future years in which we have taxable income, we will pay more taxes than if we were able to utilize our NOLs fully. We may experience ownership changes in the future as a result of subsequent shifts in our stock ownership that we cannot predict or control that could result in further limitations being placed on our ability to utilize our federal NOLs.

In connection with the approval of the merger agreement with TiVo Inc. (the “Merger Agreement”), our Board of Directors approved a Section 382 rights agreement (the “NOL Rights Plan”). The NOL Rights Plan is designed to protect Rovi’s NOLs from the effect of Internal Revenue Code Section 382 discussed above. The completion of the TiVo deal would move Rovi significantly closer to the 50 percent ownership change outlined in Section 382, and increase the likelihood of a loss of Rovi’s valuable NOLs. The NOL Rights Plan will only be effective until the earlier of the consummation of the mergers contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the termination of the Merger Agreement. Although the NOL Rights Plan is intended to reduce the likelihood of an “ownership change” that could adversely affect utilization of our NOLs, there is no assurance that the NOL Rights Plan will prevent all transfers that could result in such an “ownership change.” Upon completion of the mergers, it is anticipated that the certificate of incorporation for the new holding company formed in connection with such transaction will include transfer restrictions also designed to reduce the likelihood of an “ownership change.” The certificate of incorporation for the new holding company will be one of the components of the transactions to be submitted to the Rovi stockholders for approval.

Table of Contents

The NOL Rights Plan and the transfer restrictions described above could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from acquiring, a large block of our common stock. A third party that acquires in excess of 4.91% or more of our common stock could suffer substantial dilution of its ownership interest under the terms of the NOL Rights Plan. This may adversely affect the marketability of our common stock by discouraging existing or potential investors from acquiring our stock or additional shares of our stock. It is also possible that the NOL Rights Plan could delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors and could make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving us, or impede an attempt to acquire a significant or controlling interest in us, even if such events might be beneficial to us and our stockholders.
