ALVISO, Calif., March 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TiVo Inc. (NASDAQ:TIVO), the creator of and a leader in television services for digital video recorders (DVRs), today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2007.

Tom Rogers, CEO of TiVo said, "Fiscal 2007 was marked by a tremendous amount of progress in differentiating TiVo from generic alternatives and aligning TiVo with numerous companies to weave TiVo solidly into the future of the media world."

Key Fiscal Year 2007 Highlights:

* Made significant progress on TiVo's mass distribution strategy as
the Comcast product entered trials and the Company signed an
agreement with Cox Communications;
* Established TiVo as a leader in providing broadband content directly
to the television set, by introducing numerous broadband content
initiatives, including the announcement last month with Amazon,
providing the only TV-centric approach that brings broadcast, cable
and broadband together;
* Launched a number of distinctive features, including the TiVoCast
service, which enables the delivery of broadband content and home
movies on TiVo DVRs, TiVo KidZone, Guru guide recommendations and
TiVo Product Watch;
* Unveiled the TiVo Series3(TM) High Definition Digital Media
Recorder, considered by many retailers to be the first successfully-
launched CableCard consumer electronics product;
* Signed comprehensive advertising deals with the world's largest
advertising holding companies including, Interpublic Media, WPP's
GroupM network of agencies, and Omnicom Media Group's OMD and PHD
business units, as well as deals with leading television
advertisers, including General Motors, BMW, Lexus, Sprint, HP, and
Nintendo;
* Announced deals with CBS, International Creative Management, NBA,
Reuters, New York Times, CNET, BellSouth, Verizon Wireless,
Rhapsody, among many others, adding to the list of significant
companies, such as Yahoo!, Intel, and Sony, that have aligned
themselves with TiVo in developing their future relationship to the
television world;
* Extended the agreement with DIRECTV for an additional three years,
allowing TiVo to continue to receive subscription fees for the
existing 2.7 million DIRECTV TiVo subscriptions;
* Established an international distribution deal with Cablevisión
Mexico, the largest cable operator in Mexico City;
* Strengthened TiVo's intellectual property position with a trial
court victory against EchoStar in the United States District Court,
Eastern District of Texas.

For the fourth quarter, service and technology revenues increased 22% to $57.4 million, compared with $47.0 million for the same period last year. TiVo reported a net loss of ($18.7) million and a net loss per share of ($0.19), compared to a net loss of ($21.1) million, or ($0.25) per share, for the fourth quarter of last year. Adjusted EBITDA loss was ($14.2) million, compared to a loss of ($19.9) million in the year-ago period. Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation, interest income, depreciation and amortization. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA is included below.

Mr. Rogers continued, "TiVo made substantial progress in the fourth quarter in achieving a number of major milestones that will help set the stage for a strong 2008 Fiscal Year." Key fourth quarter and recent announcements include:

* Announced "Amazon Unbox on TiVo," a feature that provides TiVo
subscribers with the ability to rent and purchase movies and
television shows from leading studios and networks including Fox
Entertainment Group, Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios Home
Entertainment, Warner Bros. Entertainment, Lionsgate, CBS and just
today we added Sony Pictures. This is a major step in making
premium broadband content available to consumers. The feature
recently launched and is now available to all TiVo subscribers with
a broadband connected TiVo box.
* Made significant progress towards the commercial deployment of the
TiVo service on Comcast, which was demonstrated at this year's
Consumer Electronics Show to rave reviews. The TiVo service on
Comcast is expected to be available in the near-future in its
initial commercial market.
* Established an international distribution deal with Cablevisión
Mexico, Mexico City's largest cable operator.
* Announced joint alliances with Music Choice and Rhapsody, which will
provide TiVo subscribers access to the leading digital music
services and a library of millions of songs and videos on their
televisions sets, turning the TiVo service into an on-demand music
service.
* Signed co-marketing deal with Earthlink that will distribute TiVo as
part of a package with Earthlink's broadband Internet product. The
Earthlink deal is TiVo's second distribution agreement with a major
DSL provider.
* Announced Starcom as the first media agency to purchase a
subscription to the TiVo Stop||Watch(TM) ratings service, a new
offering from TiVo which provides the industry's first comprehensive
second-by-second program and commercial ratings research service
designed to better understand time-shifted viewing.
* Made significant progress in the advertising business including the
launch of Program Placement. Advertising revenues increased
relative to the year ago fourth quarter and contributed to an
increase in ARPU on a year-over-year basis.

In the fourth quarter, TiVo-Owned subscription gross additions were 163,000, increasing overall TiVo-Owned subscriptions to 1.7 million. As expected, TiVo reported a net decline to 2.7 million DIRECTV TiVo subscriptions during the period as DIRECTV deployed fewer TiVo boxes and as there was continued churn of existing DIRECTV TiVo subscriptions. Cumulative total subscriptions as of January 31, 2007 were up slightly from last quarter to 4.4 million.

Mr. Rogers continued, "In addition to the many important partnerships and differentiated features we put in place over the course of the past year, we devoted significant attention in Fiscal 2007 toward testing several different approaches designed to measure how we will market and price the TiVo service. Our objective has been to increase not only the size of our subscription base, but also the value of each new subscription brought on. In addition, we've increased our efficiency with the expansion of sales coming from the online channel. Also, we increased the number of subscriptions pre-paying for a three-year commitment, and in so doing, have taken in upfront cash at levels equivalent to what our lifetime subscription program had contributed.

"During the fourth quarter we introduced at retail stores the concept of a free TiVo unit after mail-in rebate in connection with an increase in the price of the TiVo service, which we had successfully introduced online. These pricing and advertising efforts were centered around reducing inventory of the single-tuner product, of which we will not put much focus on in the future. We learned the concept of a free after mail-in rebate offer in retail is not as compelling as a free online offer and there are clear limits to using subsidies to grow volumes in retail. Given these results, and our great success in differentiating the TiVo service over the last year, particularly with the introduction of a premium content offering, we believe the time is right to shift emphasis away from such extensive hardware subsidies and instead move toward greater advertising and brand marketing, which is the most effective way to both grow subscriptions and enhance our financial position.

"Going forward, our goal will be to grow subscription levels on a more efficient basis. We recently reduced the hardware box subsidy and plan to continue to reduce those subsidies over the course of the year. We are also focused on building a broader brand value proposition through advertising the unique and distinctive elements of the TiVo service. We've engaged The Kaplan Thaler Group, an advertising firm which has had great success enhancing the value of other major brands. This approach is expected to enable us to develop an operating budget that will get us significantly closer to Adjusted EBITDA break-even for Fiscal Year 2008 at gross subscription addition levels similar to those achieved in Fiscal Year 2007.

"As TiVo enters Fiscal 2008, we believe there are five engines that will drive the Company's momentum in the coming year that didn't exist last year.

* First, delivering broadband content directly to the television
becomes a reality this year through our deal with Amazon, as well as
through our other broadband content features such as TiVoCast, Home
Movies via OneTrueMedia, which provides friends and family a private
channel to view personal content through their TiVo service, and the
TiVo Desktop autotranscode functionality, which gets internet video
off of the Web and displays it on the TV set.
* Second, our mass distribution strategy becomes a reality as the TiVo
service on Comcast product is expected to launch in its initial
market in the near-future and Cox is targeted for initial market
availability later this year.
* Third, we came out of the holiday season with the full attention of
our retail partners focused on the important role that TiVo can play
in their goal to offer bundles of High Definition television
products and services to consumers. We will be highly focused this
year on launching a lower-priced, mass appeal High Definition
product.
* Fourth, for the first time, TiVo plans to advertise throughout the
year with a far more extensive effort to educate the market on
TiVo's superior brand and the service's highly differentiated
features.
* Fifth, we believe our financial model will move us significantly
closer to Adjusted EBITDA break-even for Fiscal Year 2008 and
substantially improve the perception of the Company's long-term
financial prospects.

Along with the growing momentum in our advertising sales business and the opportunities internationally, we believe these five engines will demonstrate that TiVo has the tools in place necessary to grow TiVo's subscription base and solidify our critical role within the media landscape in Fiscal Year 2008 and beyond."

Management Provides Financial Guidance

Steve Sordello, CFO of TiVo, said, "It is TiVo's goal to continue to invest for long-term growth, while improving our bottom-line performance. To that end, we plan to continue to invest aggressively in our product while transitioning from hardware subsidies to a more advertising driven approach toward subscription acquisition. We expect this will lead us to get significantly closer to Adjusted EBITDA breakeven for the full-year Fiscal 2008. This goal assumes TiVo-Owned gross adds roughly equivalent to last year and accounts for current expectations related to litigation costs and currently expected R&D levels."

For the first quarter of Fiscal 2008, TiVo anticipates service and technology revenues in the range of $57 million to $58 million, a net loss of $4 million to net income breakeven, and an Adjusted EBITDA profit of $1 to $5 million.

This financial guidance is based on information available to management as of March 7, 2007. TiVo expressly disclaims any duty to update this guidance.

Management's guidance includes Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Regulation G. TiVo has provided a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss in the attached schedules solely for the purpose of complying with Regulation G and not as an indication that EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA is a substitute measure for net loss.
