Current report

In August 2024, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Amazon.com Services LLC (the “Buyer”) to sell substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Perceive Corporation (now known as Xperi Pylon Corporation) (the “Seller”), a subsidiary focused on edge inference hardware and software technologies, for a gross amount of $80.0 million in cash, including a holdback of $12.0 million to be held for 18 months after the closing of the transaction (the “Perceive Transaction”) to secure our and the Seller’s indemnification obligations. The Perceive Transaction was completed on October 2, 2024. We expect net proceeds from the Perceive Transaction to be approximately $60.0 million after taxes, closing costs, and fees, inclusive of the holdback described above. Refer to Note 14—Subsequent Events for additional information.

Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

Current wording

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Previous wording

Revenue decreased by $7.3 million, or 6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decline of $14.6 million in Consumer Electronics revenue as a result of a decline in minimum guarantee (“MG”) revenue driven by the timing and duration of MG contracts that were renewed as well as the Divestiture, and a decrease of $3.4 million in Media Platform revenue driven principally by a decline in advertising revenue from a unique initial ad buy that occurred in 2023. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $8.0 million in Connected Car revenue due to an increase in MG revenue in audio solutions, which was partially offset by the Divestiture, and an increase of $2.7 million in Pay-TV revenue, driven largely by continued increase in IPTV Solutions revenue and by higher core guide product revenue due to the timing and duration of MG contracts that were renewed, offset by declines in consumer hardware and subscription revenue in the second quarter of 2024.

Current wording

Revenue increased by $2.5 million, or 2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $21.4 million in Pay-TV revenue, driven largely by higher core guide product revenue due to the timing and duration of minimum guarantee (“MG”) contracts that were executed and continued growth in IPTV Solutions revenue, partially offset by declines in consumer hardware and subscription revenue, and an increase of $2.1 million in Connected Car revenue driven principally by increases in Audio Solutions and AutoStage revenue, partially offset by the impact of the AutoSense Divestiture. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $15.4 million in Consumer Electronics revenue resulting from declines in MG contract revenue and market-based softness in certain end products, and a decrease of $5.6 million in Media Platform middleware solutions revenue primarily due to the timing and duration of MG contracts that were renewed in the third quarter of 2023.

Previous wording

Revenue decreased by $15.3 million, or 6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decline of $25.2 million in Consumer Electronics revenue due to the Divestiture as well as a decline in MG revenue contracts due to the timing and duration of MG contracts up for renewal and executed, and a decrease of $1.1 million in Media Platform revenue driven principally by lower advertising revenue, which was partially offset by growth in our smart TV application software and middleware platform. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $11.8 million in Connected Car revenue as the result of MG revenue coupled with settlements executed which was partially offset by the Divestiture, during the first six months of 2024.

Current wording

Revenue decreased by $12.8 million, or 3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decline of $40.6 million in Consumer Electronics revenue due to the AutoSense Divestiture as well as fewer MG revenue contracts due to the timing and duration of MG contracts up for renewal, and a decrease of $6.8 million in Media Platform revenue driven principally by lower advertising revenue associated with our core Pay-TV products and lower MG revenue from our middleware solutions platform. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $20.6 million in Pay-TV revenue driven largely by higher MG revenue in core guide products and continued growth in IPTV Solutions revenue, and an increase of $14.0 million in Connected Car revenue as a result of higher Audio Solutions and AutoStage revenue, coupled with settlements executed, all of which was partially offset by the impact of the AutoSense Divestiture, during the first nine months of 2024.

Previous wording

Cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, consists primarily of employee-related costs, royalties paid to third parties, hardware product-related costs, maintenance costs and an allocation of facilities costs, as well as service center and other expenses related to providing our offerings and non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) services.

Previous wording

Cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $58.7 million, as compared to $58.6 million in the same period of the prior year, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0%. The increase was primarily attributable to higher delivery costs related to an increase in NRE revenue, mostly offset by lower costs incurred in connection with advertising revenue in the first six months of 2024.

Current wording

Cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $86.2 million, as compared to $85.1 million in the same period of the prior year, an increase of $1.1 million, or 1%.

Previous wording

Research and development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $45.1 million, as compared to $55.7 million in the same period of the prior year, a decrease of $10.6 million, or 19%. The decrease was primarily driven by lower research and development spend in the AutoSense in-cabin safety business and related imaging solutions following the Divestiture, a reduction in expenses in the Perceive subsidiary, decreases in bonuses and contractor expenses, and an increase in capitalized costs for internal-use software in the second quarter of 2024.

The repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific number of shares of common stock, has no time limit, and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without notice at the discretion of the Board.

We believe our current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our needs for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of these financial statements. As the Promissory Note (see “Long-Term Debt”) matures on July 1, 2025, we may access the capital markets for additional funding. As we assess growth strategies, we may need to supplement our cash and cash equivalents with outside sources. As part of our liquidity strategy, we will continue to monitor our current level of earnings and cash flow as well as our ability to access the capital markets in light of those levels.
