The Company and Basis of Presentation

NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On December 18, 2019, Xperi Corporation (“Xperi”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization with TiVo Corporation (“TiVo”) to combine in an all-stock merger of equals transaction (the “Mergers”). Immediately following the consummation of the Mergers on June 1, 2020, (the “Merger Date”), Xperi Holding Corporation (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation founded in December 2019 under the name “XRAY-TWOLF HoldCo Corporation,” became the parent company of both Xperi and TiVo. The common stock of Xperi and TiVo were de-registered after completion of the Mergers. On June 2, 2020, Xperi Holding Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “XPER.” See “Note 9 – Business Combination” for a more detailed description of the Mergers.

Xperi was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Mergers. As a result, the historical financial statements of Xperi for periods prior to the Mergers are considered to be the historical financial statements of Xperi Holding Corporation. As used herein, the “Company” refers to Xperi when referring to periods prior to June 1, 2020 and to Xperi Holding Corporation when referring to periods subsequent to June 1, 2020. The Company’s results of operations include the operations of TiVo after June 1, 2020, and TiVo’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 1, 2020. See “Note 9 – Business Combination” for additional information on the Mergers.

Xperi Holding Corporation is a leading consumer and entertainment product/solutions licensing company and one of the industry’s largest intellectual property (IP) licensing platforms, with a diverse portfolio of media and semiconductor intellectual property and more than 11,000 patents and patent applications worldwide. The Company invents, develops, and delivers technologies that enable extraordinary experiences. The Company’s technologies, delivered via its brands (DTS, HD Radio, IMAX Enhanced, Invensas, and TiVo), and by its subsidiary, Perceive Corporation, make entertainment more entertaining, and smart devices smarter. The Company’s technologies are integrated into billions of consumer devices, media platforms, and semiconductors worldwide, driving increased value for customers, partners and consumers. The Company shapes how millions of consumers access and experience entertainment content, and the Company’s innovations are found in billions of devices and hundreds of millions of interfaces around the globe.

The Company has two principal segments, a product segment and an IP licensing segment. The Product segment consists primarily of licensing Company-developed audio, digital radio, imaging, edge-based machine learning and multi-channel video user experience (“UX”) solutions. Audio, digital radio, imaging solutions and edge-based machine learning include the delivery of software and/or hardware-based solutions to the Company’s consumer electronics (“CE”) customers, automotive manufacturers or their supply chain partners. UX products and services revenue is primarily derived from multi-channel video service providers and CE manufacturers, licensing the TiVo service and selling TiVo-enabled devices like the Stream 4K, Personalized Content Discovery, enriched Metadata, viewership data and advertising.

The IP Licensing segment consists primarily of licensing the Company’s innovations to leading companies in the media and semiconductor industries. Licensing arrangements include access to one or more of the Company’s foundational patent portfolios and may also include access to some of its industry-leading technologies and proven know-how. In media, the Company’s licensees include multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs), over-the-top (OTT) video service providers, consumer electronics manufacturers, social media, and other new media companies. In semiconductor, the Company’s licensees include memory, sensors, RF component, and foundry companies.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Xperi Holding Corporation, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and a majority-owned subsidiary. In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company funded a new subsidiary, Perceive Corporation (“Perceive”), which was created to focus on delivering edge inference solutions. As of December 31, 2020, the Company owned approximately 81% of Perceive. The operating results of Perceive have been consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the fourth quarter of 2018. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. The Company employs a calendar month-end reporting period for its quarterly reporting.
