NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Rovi Corporation (the “Company”) is focused on powering the discovery and personalization of digital entertainment. The Company provides a broad set of integrated solutions that are embedded in its customers' products and services, connecting consumers with entertainment. Content discovery solutions include interactive program guides (“IPGs”), search and recommendation services, cloud data services and the Company's 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). In addition to offering Company developed IPGs, customers may also license the Company's patents and deploy their own IPG or a third party IPG. The Company also offers advertising and analytics services. The Company's solutions are deployed globally in the cable, satellite, consumer electronics, entertainment, media and online distribution markets.

Basis of Presentation

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, 2014 . 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, 2015 , 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.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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.

Major Customers

Customers, and concentrations of customers, representing 10% or more of revenue were as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
DIRECTV	12	%	11	%	12	%	11	%
Aggregate of Comcast Corporation, DIRECTV and Time Warner Cable Inc.	24	%	22	%	23	%	21	%

Table of Contents

Substantially all of the Company's revenue from DIRECTV is reported in the Intellectual Property Licensing segment. The Company's contracts with Time Warner Cable Inc. and DIRECTV expire in September and December of 2015, respectively, and the contract with Comcast Corporation expires in March 2016.

Related Party Transaction

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded $ 1.5 million in expenses related to the reimbursement of costs incurred by Engaged Capital, LLC (“Engaged”) in connection with the contested proxy election. Engaged is a related party as Glenn W. Welling is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and is also a Principal and the Chief Investment Officer at Engaged. As of June 30, 2015, the costs are included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets .

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "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, the customer accounts for the arrangement as a service contract. The guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The guidance can be applied prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the transition alternatives and guidance will have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements .

In April 2015, the FASB amended its existing accounting standards for the presentation of debt issuance costs in the statement of financial position. The amendments require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt obligation be presented as a deduction from the carrying amount of the debt obligation, with the associated amortization recognized as a component of interest expense. The Company expects to retrospectively apply the amendments in the first quarter of 2016. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company presented $13.9 million and $7.6 million , respectively, of debt issuance costs in Other long-term assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets .

In May 2014, the FASB amended its existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The amendments provide enhancements to the quality and consistency of how revenue is recognized while also improving 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 on a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted beginning in the first quarter of 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the transition alternatives and amendments will have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements .

In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance which modified the criteria for identifying a discontinued operation. The modification limited the definition of a discontinued operation to the disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. Application of the modified criteria on January 1, 2015 did not have a material effect on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements .

(5) 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 market data such as 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. The fair value hierarchy 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 consider, among other items, the likelihood of redemption, credit quality, duration, insurance wraps and expected future cash flows. These securities were also compared, when possible, to other observable market data with characteristics similar to the securities held by the Company.

The fair value of interest rate swaps is estimated using widely accepted valuation techniques, including a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each interest rate swap. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swap, including the period to maturity, and uses market-corroborated inputs, including forward interest rate curves and implied 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 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 has considered the impact of its master netting agreements.

The fair value of contingent consideration relating to acquisitions is estimated considering the amount that could ultimately be paid based on the terms of the underlying purchase agreement utilizing a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. 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.

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.

Table of Contents

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.

The Company incurred $9.4 million in transaction costs related to the issuance of the 2020 Convertible Notes . The Company allocated the transaction costs to the liability and equity components based on the relative amounts calculated for the 2020 Convertible Notes at date of issuance. Transaction costs of $7.7 million attributable to the liability component were recorded in Other long-term assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized to interest expense 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 provides for (i) a five -year $125 million term loan A facility (the “ Term Loan A Facility ”), (ii) a seven -year $700 million term loan B facility (the “ Term Loan B Facility ” and together with the Term Loan A Facility , the “ Term Loan Facility ”) and (iii) a five -year $175 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 the Term Loan A Facility bear 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 the Term Loan B Facility 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 bear 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 upon the Company's total secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

In June 2015, the Company made a voluntary principal prepayment of $50.0 million on the Term Loan A Facility .

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. As of June 30, 2015 , $175.0 million was available under the Revolving Facility .

Table of Contents

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 Term Loan A Facility and the Revolving Facility contain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio and a maximum total leverage ratio. The Term Loan B Facility does not contain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio or a maximum total leverage ratio covenant. The Company may be required to make an additional payment on the Term Loan Facility each February. This payment is a percentage of the prior year's Excess Cash Flow as defined in the Credit Agreement . No additional payment was required in February 2015 .

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 principal. As of June 30, 2015 , no amounts related to the 2040 Convertible Notes remain outstanding.

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 Income (loss) on interest rate swaps in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations . During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company recorded a gain of $ 4.4 million and a loss of $ 4.7 million , respectively, on its interest rate swaps. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company recorded losses of $ 5.3 million and $ 7.3 million , respectively, on its interest rate swaps.

Details of the Company's interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

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 the results of operations or cash flows in a given period or the maximum potential impact of these indemnification provisions on its future results of operations.

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 June 30, 2015 , the Company does not believe any litigation matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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.

The following is a reconciliation between the number of shares used to calculate Basic EPS and Diluted EPS (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015	2014	2015	2014

(1)	See Note 8 for additional details.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company excluded 0.9 million and 0.9 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company excluded 0.9 million and 0.9 million weighted average shares of performance-based restricted stock and restricted stock units from the computation of Diluted EPS, respectively, as the performance metric had yet to be achieved or their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

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

In periods when the Company reports income from continuing operations, the potential dilutive effect of additional shares that may be issued on conversion of the 2020 Convertible Notes are included in the calculation of Diluted EPS under the treasury stock method when the price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the conversion price. The 2020 Convertible Notes will 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 $15.95 per share on June 30, 2015 , 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 exercise of the call options is expected to eliminate any potential dilution from the 2020 Convertible Notes that would have otherwise occurred when the price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the conversion price. 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 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 June 30, 2015 , the Company repurchased 1.7 million shares of its common stock for $30.2 million . During the three months ended June 30, 2014 , the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company repurchased 5.0 million shares and 5.0 million shares of its common stock for $100.2 million and $123.1 million , respectively.

On April 29, 2015, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $125.0 million of the Company's common stock. The April 2015 authorization included amounts which were outstanding under previously authorized stock repurchase programs. As of June 30, 2015 , the Company had $100.5 million of stock repurchase authorization remaining.

(11) Equity-based Compensation

Stock Option Plan

The Company grants equity-based compensation awards from its 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”). As of June 30, 2015 , the Company had 23.3 million shares reserved and 7.3 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. Option grants generally have vesting periods of four years where one quarter of the grant vests at the end of the first year, and the remainder vests monthly thereafter. Options grants 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 are generally subject to a four year graded vesting period.

In March 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a grant of performance-based restricted stock units to certain senior officers of the Company for the 2015 to 2017 performance period. Vesting in the March 2015 award is subject to either performance conditions (i.e., achieving minimum defined levels of Company financial results) or a market condition (i.e., achieving a minimum relative Total Shareholder Return) as well as a three year service period ended March 1, 2018. The number of shares to be issued on vesting could be up to 200% of the target number of performance-based restricted stock units granted depending on the level of achievement.

For awards subject to performance conditions that were granted in March 2015, the fair value per award is fixed at the grant date; however, the amount of compensation expense will be adjusted throughout the performance period based on the probability of achievement of a target revenue compound annual growth rate and an Adjusted EBITDA (see Note 13) margin, with final compensation expense recognized 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.

As of June 30, 2015 , the number of restricted stock outstanding and unvested was 2.1 million , which includes 0.7 million performance-based restricted stock. As of June 30, 2015 , the number of restricted stock units outstanding and unvested was 1.7 million , which includes 0.3 million performance-based restricted stock units.

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 June 30, 2015 , the Company had 2.2 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 stock and restricted stock units subject to

Table of Contents

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.

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



	Three Months Ended June 30,			Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015	2014		2015		2014
Options:
Expected volatility	N/A	47	%	45	%	48	%
Expected term	N/A	4.0 years		4.0 years		4.0 years
Risk-free interest rate	N/A	1.2	%	1.3	%	1.1	%
Expected dividend yield	N/A	0	%	0	%	0	%
ESPP:
Expected volatility	N/A	N/A		35	%	41	%
Expected term	N/A	N/A		1.3 years		1.3 years
Risk-free interest rate	N/A	N/A		0.4	%	0.2	%
Expected dividend yield	N/A	N/A		0	%	0	%
Restricted Stock Units subject to a Market Condition:
Expected volatility	N/A	N/A		41	%	N/A
Expected term	N/A	N/A		3.0 years		N/A
Risk-free interest rate	N/A	N/A		1.0	%	N/A
Expected dividend yield	N/A	N/A		0	%	N/A

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 the 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 those 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 grant date weighted-average fair value of equity-based awards was as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
Options	N/A		$	8.82	$	9.05	$	9.01
ESPP	N/A		N/A		$	6.94	$	6.62
Restricted stock and restricted stock units	$	17.62	$	22.06	$	23.96	$	24.56

The Company recorded $10.7 million and $12.0 million in pre-tax equity-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Company recorded $22.7 million and $22.2 million in pre-tax equity-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

As of June 30, 2015 , there was $68.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for 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 total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $ 0.0 million and $0.6 million , respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and

Table of Contents

2014 was $ 0.3 million and $1.6 million , respectively. Intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the market value of the shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price of the option.

(12) 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 June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
Foreign withholding tax	$	3,525		$	4,954		$	6,657		$	9,734
Reserves for uncertain tax positions	215			565			(18		)	3,155
Change in net deferred tax liabilities	260			(1,508		)	3,633			(2,943		)
State income tax (benefit) expense	(3,195		)	(606		)	(2,182		)	228
Foreign income taxes	472			219			1,126			26
Income tax expense	$	1,277		$	3,624		$	9,216		$	10,200

State income tax (benefit) expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 includes a benefit of $ 4.0 million from settling the Company's 2008 California tax return.

Included in the change in net deferred tax liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 is a benefit of $2.1 million related to net operating losses. The change in net deferred tax liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 also includes a benefit of $1.2 million due to the Veveo acquisition. The Veveo acquisition resulted in a net deferred tax liability related to finite-lived intangible assets. These net deferred tax liabilities are considered a source of future taxable income which allowed us to reduce our pre-acquisition deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The change in our pre-acquisition deferred tax asset valuation allowance resulting from the acquired net deferred tax liabilities was not recorded as a component of the Veveo purchase price allocation and was credited to income tax expense.

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 uncertain tax positions 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 .

(13) 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: the Intellectual Property Licensing segment and the Product segment. 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

Table of Contents

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 certain 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 to, or assess performance of, the segments.

Overview

We are focused on powering content discovery and personalization through our technology and intellectual property, using data and analytics to monetize interactions across multiple entertainment platforms. We provide a broad set of integrated solutions that are embedded in our customers' products and services to connect consumers with entertainment through content discovery solutions, including interactive program guides (“IPGs”), search and recommendation services, cloud data 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). We also offer advertising and analytics services. We have patented many aspects of content discovery, digital video recorder and video-on-demand functionality and multi-screen functionality, as well as interactive applications and advertising. We have historically licensed this portfolio for use with linear television broadcast. However, there is an emerging industry transition to Internet platform technologies which are enabling new video services for television in homes as well as on multiple screens such as tablets and smartphones. We believe this transition presents new opportunities to license our intellectual property portfolio for different use cases and to different customers, as well as to develop, market and sell products and services which enable such functionality. Building on this foundation, we are establishing broad industry relationships with the companies leading the next generation of digital entertainment. Our strategy includes developing products and services that complement our intellectual property and address the opportunity presented by this industry transformation. Our solutions are deployed globally in the cable, satellite, consumer electronics, entertainment, media and online distribution markets. For financial reporting purposes, our business is organized in two segments: Intellectual Property Licensing and Product .

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by 7% compared to the prior year period as a result of a decline in revenue in our Product segment, and to a lesser degree, a decline in revenue in our Intellectual Property Licensing segment. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , 24% of our revenue was from our contracts with Comcast Corporation ("Comcast"), DIRECTV and Time Warner Cable Inc. ("Time Warner"). Our contracts with Time Warner and DIRECTV expire in September and December of 2015, respectively, and our contract with Comcast expires in March 2016.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , income from continuing operations was $3.3 million , or $0.04 of diluted earnings per share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $2.7 million , or $0.03 of diluted loss per share, in the prior year period, respectively. The change in income from continuing operations primarily resulted from changes in the fair value of our interest rate swap portfolio, lower restructuring and asset impairment costs, and the realization of savings from past

Table of Contents

restructuring actions, partially offset by lower revenue and costs incurred in connection with the contested proxy election in 2015.

During the three months ended June 30, 2015 , we strengthened our financial position and improved our liquidity by:


•	generating $39.7 million in operating cash flow from continuing operations,


•	making a voluntary principal prepayment of $50.0 million on our term loan A facility (the “ Term Loan A Facility ") and


•	repurchasing the remaining $3.6 million of par value of our 2.625% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2040 (the “ 2040 Convertible Notes ”).

Revenue

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , revenue decreased 7% compared to the prior year as a result of a $6.3 million decrease in revenue in our Product segment and a $3.0 million decrease in revenue in our Intellectual Property Licensing segment. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , revenue decreased 6% compared to the prior year as a result of a $10.9 million decrease in revenue in our Intellectual Property Licensing segment and a $6.8 million decrease in revenue in our Product segment. For additional details on the changes in revenue, see the discussion of our segment results.

Cost of Revenues, Excluding Amortization of Intangible Assets

Cost of revenues consist primarily of service costs, employee compensation and benefits, patent prosecution, patent maintenance and patent litigation costs and an allocation of overhead and facilities costs. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , cost of revenues decreased from the prior year primarily due to an $0.8 million decrease in facility and related costs as a result of benefits from past restructuring actions and a $0.3 million decrease in compensation and benefits costs, partially offset by increased investments in our analytics operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , cost of revenues decreased from the prior year primarily due to a $5.9 million decrease in patent litigation costs, which was partially offset by increased investments in our analytics operations.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses are comprised primarily of employee compensation and benefits, consulting costs and an allocation of overhead and facilities costs. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , research and development expenses decreased from the prior year primarily due to a decrease in the costs of our Metadata operations resulting from cost saving initiatives. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , research and development expenses increased slightly as compared to the prior year primarily due to increased investments to support our cloud-based platform and analytics services being substantially offset by a decrease in spending on our Metadata operations and on legacy products as a result of our cost saving initiatives.

Table of Contents

Selling, General and Administrative

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

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to $3.9 million and $4.3 million , respectively, of costs incurred related to the contested proxy election in 2015 and a $0.5 million and $2.5 million increase in consulting and employee costs related to planning for the upcoming license renewals with Time Warner, DIRECTV, Comcast and Echostar. Cost increases during the three months ended June 30, 2015 were offset in part by a $1.2 million decrease in compensation costs, a $0.5 million decrease in facilities and other operating costs as a result of benefits from past restructuring actions, and lower spending on marketing programs.

Cost increases during the six months ended June 30, 2015 were partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in facilities and other operating costs as a result of benefits from past restructuring actions.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , amortization of intangible assets increased from the prior year primarily due to the Veveo acquisition in February 2014 and the acquisition of a patent portfolio in July 2014.

Restructuring and Asset Impairment (Benefit) Charges

In conjunction with the disposition of the Rovi Entertainment Store, DivX and MainConcept businesses and our 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 in 2014 that resulted in a restructuring and asset impairment charges of $3.5 million and $5.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively. Amounts recorded in 2015 represent adjustments to the amounts originally recorded in connection with the 2014 restructuring actions.

Interest Expense

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , 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 .

Interest Income and Other, Net

Interest income and other, net decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior year primarily due to the release of a $1.2 million contingent liability in the three months ended June 30, 2014 that was acquired in a prior acquisition and a $0.6 million decline in equity income from our joint venture in Japan. Foreign currency negatively impacted the three months ended June 30, 2015 and benefited the six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Income (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 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements , 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 six months ended June 30, 2015 , we redeemed $291.0 million in principal of our 2040 Convertible Notes for cash, resulting in a loss of $0.1 million .

Table of Contents

Income Tax Expense

Due to the fact that we have a significant net operating loss carryforward and we have recorded a valuation allowance against a significant portion of our deferred tax assets, foreign withholding taxes are the primary driver of our income tax expense.

We recorded income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 of $1.3 million , which primarily consists of $3.5 million of foreign withholding taxes and $0.5 million of foreign income taxes that were partially offset by a $3.2 million benefit from state income taxes, which reflects the settlement of the Company's 2008 California tax return. We recorded income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 of $3.6 million , which primarily consists of $5.0 million of foreign withholding taxes, partially offset a $1.5 million change in net deferred tax liabilities. Included in the change in net deferred tax liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was a tax benefit of $2.1 million related to net operating losses.

We recorded income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $9.2 million , which primarily consists of $6.7 million of foreign withholding taxes, a $3.6 million change in net deferred tax liabilities and $1.1 million of foreign income taxes, which were partially offset by a $2.2 million benefit from state income taxes, which reflects the settlement of the Company's 2008 California tax return. We recorded income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $10.2 million , which primarily consists of $9.7 million of foreign withholding taxes, $3.2 million from the recognition of reserves for uncertain tax positions, partially offset a $2.9 million change in net deferred tax liabilities. Included in the change in net deferred tax liabilities was a benefit of $2.1 million related to net operating losses and a benefit of $1.2 million due to the Veveo acquisition. The Veveo acquisition resulted in a net deferred tax liability related to finite-lived intangible assets. These net deferred tax liabilities are considered a source of future taxable income which allowed us to reduce our pre-acquisition deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The change in our pre-acquisition deferred tax asset valuation allowance resulting from the acquired net deferred tax liabilities was not recorded as a component of the Veveo purchase price allocation and was credited to income tax expense.

Loss from Discontinued Operations

The loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 is primarily due to the loss on the sale of the DivX, MainConcept and Nowtilus businesses.

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 use the definitions provided in Note 13 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements , which is incorporated herein by reference.

Intellectual Property Licensing Segment

The Intellectual Property Licensing segment's results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior year were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Adjusted EBITDA Margin	76.2		%	76.0		%

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , Intellectual Property Licensing revenue decreased 4% compared to the prior year as a 3% increase in revenue from Service Providers was more than offset by a 20% decrease in revenue from CE manufacturers. The increase in revenue from Service Providers was due to an increase in the number or subscribers for which we receive a monthly patent license fee and a third party IPG provider for set-top boxes executing a bulk purchase of IPG licenses, partially offset by a decline in sales of set-top boxes by a customer. The decrease in revenue from CE manufacturers was due to a decrease in revenue from catch-up payments included in patent license agreements intended to make us whole for the pre-license period of use as compared to the prior year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , Intellectual Property Licensing revenue decreased 7% compared to the prior year due to a 1% decrease in revenue from Service Providers and a 21% decrease in revenue from CE manufacturers. The decrease in revenue from Service Providers was due to a decline in sales of set-top boxes by a customer, partially offset by an increase in the number of subscribers for which we receive a monthly patent license fee and a third party IPG provider for set-top boxes executing a bulk purchase of IPG licenses. The decrease in revenue from CE manufacturers was due to a major CE manufacturer being out of contract in 2015 and a decrease in revenue from catch-up payments included in patent license agreements intended to make us whole for the pre-license period of use as compared to the prior year.

Intellectual Property Licensing segment Adjusted Operating Expenses increased 3% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 , compared to the prior year primarily due to a $0.5 million increase in consulting and employee costs related to planning for the upcoming license renewals with Time Warner, DIRECTV, Comcast and Echostar. Adjusted Operating Expenses decreased 8% during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior year primarily due to a $5.9 million

decrease in patent litigation costs offset by a $2.5 million increase in consulting expenses and employee costs related to planning for the upcoming major service provider license renewals.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , Product segment revenues decreased 10% compared to the prior year due to a 7% decrease in revenue from Service Providers, a 3% decrease in CE revenue and a 47% decrease in Other revenue. The decrease in Service Provider revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was the result of acceptance of our Passport guide product for deployment in multiple countries with a major Latin American service provider which benefited revenue in 2014, offset in part by an increase in advertising revenues. The decrease in CE revenue was primarily due to a decrease in the number of units shipped that incorporated our products. The decrease in Other revenue was the result of a decline in Analog Content Protection ("ACP") revenue.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , Product segment revenues decreased 5% compared to the prior year due to a 1% decrease in revenue from Service Providers, an 8% decrease in CE revenue and a 23% decrease in Other revenue. The decrease in Service Provider revenue was primarily the result of acceptance of our Passport guide product for deployment in multiple countries with a major Latin American service provider which benefited revenue in 2014, offset in part by an increase in advertising revenues, including a benefit from a major Pay TV provider agreeing to report advertising sales to us at the end of each month instead of on a one month lag. Due to this change, we now recognize IPG advertising revenue related to this Pay TV provider with no lag. The decrease in CE revenue was primarily due to a decrease in the number of units shipped that incorporated our products and a major CE manufacturer being out of license. The decrease in Other revenue was the result of a decline in ACP revenue; however, both periods included significant perpetual license fees that are not expected to recur for the remainder of 2015 and did not recur in the rest of 2014.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , Adjusted Operating Expenses decreased 4% compared to the prior year primarily due to a decrease in Metadata research and development costs due to cost savings initiatives. Adjusted Operating Expenses increased 1% during the six months ended June 30, 2015 , compared to the prior year primarily due to increased investments made to support our cloud-based platform and analytics services partially offset by a decrease in spending on Metadata and legacy product research and development due to cost saving initiatives.

Corporate

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We finance our operations primarily from cash generated by our operations. We believe that internally generated cash flows 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. We are able to supplement this short-term liquidity, if necessary, with our Revolving Facility and access to capital markets. 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.

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are held in numerous locations around the world. Our cash position remains strong, and we believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and anticipated cash flow generated from operations, as supplemented with access to capital markets, as necessary, will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditure, debt and operating requirements for at least the next twelve months.

As of June 30, 2015 , we had $115.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, $100.9 million in short-term marketable securities and $164.5 million in long-term marketable securities. Of these amounts, $205.5 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries. Due to our net operating loss carryforwards, we could repatriate amounts held outside the U.S. to the U.S. without a material adverse effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Cash flows compared to the prior year were as follows (in thousands):



	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014			Change $			Change %
Continuing Operations:
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	65,748		$	122,098		$	(56,350	)	(46	)%
Net cash provided by investing activities	37,251			150,746			(113,495		)	(75	)%

Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(38,628	)	$	109,626		$	(148,254	)	(135	)%

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased $56.4 million primarily due to the receipt of a significant upfront payment in the first quarter of 2014 related to a multi-year licensing deal signed in the fourth quarter of 2013 and lower revenue leading to lower collections on accounts receivable and a decrease in income from continuing operations, offset in part by lower interest expense and lower non-cash charges from changes in the fair value of our interest rate swap portfolio. The availability of cash generated by our operations in the future could be affected by other business risks including, but not limited to, those Risk Factors in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 , which is incorporated herein by reference.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased $113.5 million primarily due to a decrease in net proceeds from net sales and maturities of marketable securities of $124.2 million. The six months ended June 30, 2015 also includes the payment of $5.1 million in continent consideration related to previous acquisitions compared to $60.7 million of net cash paid in 2014 for the Veveo acquisition offset by the receipt of $50.3 million from the 2014 sale of DivX and MainConcept. We anticipate that capital expenditures to support the growth of our business and strengthen our operations infrastructure will be between $22.0 million and $28.0 million for the full year 2015.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 included $291.0 million of principal payments on our 2040 Convertible Notes and the issuance of $345.0 million of principal of 2020 Convertible Notes . Using the proceeds from the 2020 Convertible Notes issuance, 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 the 2020 Convertible Notes , we also purchased a call option and sold a warrant to manage the potential dilution to earnings per share for a net cost of $33.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , we also made a voluntary principal prepayment of $50.0 million on our Term Loan A Facility , used $104.5 million to repurchase shares of our common stock and received $5.9

million from the exercise of employee stock options and sales of stock through our employee stock purchase plan. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 , we made $50.0 million in debt principal payments and used $123.1 million to repurchase shares of our common stock. The six months ended June 30, 2014 also included the receipt of $11.6 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 June 30, 2015 , our remaining stock repurchase authorization was $100.5 million .

As of June 30, 2015 , we had $175.0 million available to obtain short-term or long-term financing under our Revolving Facility if we need additional liquidity.

During the next twelve months, $7.0 million of our debt is scheduled to mature. For more information on our borrowings, see Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

2020 Convertible Notes

We issued $345.0 million in aggregate principal of 0.500% Convertible Notes due in 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.

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 provides for (i) a five -year $125 million term loan A facility (the “ Term Loan A Facility ”), (ii) a seven -year $700 million term loan B facility (the “ Term Loan B Facility ” and together with the Term Loan A Facility , the “ Term Loan Facility ”) and (iii) a five -year $175 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 the $50.0 million voluntary principal prepayment in June 2015, no additional principal payments are scheduled under the Term Loan A Facility until the final maturity date. Loans under the Term Loan A Facility bear interest, at our 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.

Term Loan B Facility 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 the Term Loan B Facility . Loans under the Term Loan B Facility 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.

Loans under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at our 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 our total secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement ).

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 Term Loan A Facility and Revolving Facility contain financial covenants that require that we maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio and a maximum total leverage ratio. The Term Loan B Facility does not contain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio or a maximum total leverage ratio covenant. We may be required to make an additional payment on the Term Loan Facility each February. This payment is a percentage of the prior year's Excess Cash Flow as defined in the Credit Agreement . No payment was required in February 2015 .

2040 Convertible Notes

We issued $460.0 million in aggregate principal of 2.625% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2040 at par 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 us to repurchase their 2040 Convertible Notes for cash. On June 30, 2015, we redeemed the remaining $3.6 million of outstanding principal. As of June 30, 2015 , no amounts related to the 2040 Convertible Notes remain outstanding.

(1)	The 2020 Convertible Notes are presented based on the date they can be freely converted by holders, which is December 1, 2019 . However, the 2020 Convertible Notes may be converted by holders prior to December 1, 2019 in certain circumstances. For additional information, see Note 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements , which is incorporated herein by reference.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Since December 31, 2014 , we have not engaged in any material off-balance sheet arrangements, including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements , which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us 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 reported results of operations during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, long-lived asset impairment, including goodwill and intangible assets, equity-based compensation and income taxes. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on various other estimates, assumptions and judgments that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

We believe there have been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 , which is incorporated herein by reference.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a summary of recent accounting pronouncements applicable to us, see Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, including those related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and security prices. Changes in these factors may cause fluctuations in 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, 2014 , which is incorporated herein by reference. Other than market risks associated with the issuance of the 2020 Convertible Notes , which are described below, we believe our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2014 .

2020 Convertible Notes

In March 2015, we issued $345.0 million principal 2020 Convertible Notes that have a fixed annual interest rate of 0.500% . As the 2020 Convertible Notes have a fixed interest rate, there is no economic interest rate exposure. However, the fair value of the 2020 Convertible Notes is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and securities prices. Generally, the fair value of the 2020 Convertible Notes will increase as interest rates fall and the fair value of the 2020 Convertible Notes will increase as the price of our common stock increases.

In connection with the offering of the 2020 Convertible Notes , we purchased call options with respect to our common stock and sold warrants on our common stock. The options are expected to offset the potential dilution with respect to shares of

Table of Contents

our common stock resulting from any conversion of the 2020 Convertible Notes . The warrants will have a dilutive effect with respect to our common stock to the extent that the market price of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants. However, we have the right to settle the warrants in cash or shares. The strike price of the warrants is $40.1450 per share. The number of shares of our common stock underlying the warrants is 11.9 million shares, subject to anti-dilution adjustments.

For further discussion regarding the 2020 Convertible Notes and the related call options and warrants, see Note 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements , which is incorporated herein by reference.

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

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 , that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
