Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Xperi is a leading consumer and entertainment technology company. The Company creates extraordinary experiences at home and on the go for millions of consumers around the world, enabling audiences to connect with content in a way that is more intelligent, immersive, and personal. Powering smart devices, connected cars, entertainment experiences and more, the Company brings together ecosystems designed to reach highly engaged consumers, allowing it and its ecosystem partners to uncover significant new business opportunities, now and in the future. The Company’s technologies are integrated into consumer devices and a variety of media platforms worldwide, driving increased value for its partners, customers, and consumers. The Company operates inone operating and reportable business segment and groups its revenue into four categories: Pay-TV, Consumer Electronics, Connected Car and Media Platform.
Xperi Spin-Off
In June 2020, Xperi Holding Corporation (“Xperi Holding,” “Adeia,” or the “Former Parent”) announced plans to separate intotwo independent publicly traded companies (the “Separation”), one comprising its intellectual property (“IP”) licensing business andone comprising its product business (“Xperi Product”). On October 1, 2022 (the “Separation Date”), the Former Parent completed the Separation (the “Spin-Off”) through a pro-rata distribution (the “Distribution”) of all the outstanding common stock of its product-related business (formerly known as Xperi Product, and hereinafter “Xperi Inc.”, “Xperi” or the “Company”) to the stockholders of record of the Former Parent as of the close of business on September 21, 2022, the record date (the “Record Date”) for the Distribution. Each Xperi Holding stockholder of record received four shares of Xperi common stock, $0.001 par value, for everyten shares of Xperi Holding common stock, $0.001 par value, held by such stockholder as of the close of business on the Record Date. As a result of the Distribution, Xperi became an independent, publicly traded company and its common stock is listed under the symbol “XPER” on the New York Stock Exchange. In connection with the Separation and the Distribution, Xperi Holding was renamed and continues as Adeia Inc. and also changed its stock symbol to “ADEA” on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. The Company employs a calendar month-end reporting period for its quarterly reporting.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, all of the assets and liabilities of the Xperi Product business had been transferred to a legal entity (the “Transfer”) under the common control of Xperi. Subsequent to this transfer and through December 31, 2024, the Company's financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared on a consolidated basis and include Xperi and its subsidiaries in which Xperi has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Prior to the Transfer, the financial statements and accompanying notes of the Xperi Product business were prepared on a combined basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of the Former Parent as the Company was not historically held by a single legal entity. Net investment by Former Parent, which represents the Former Parent’s total net interest in the recorded net assets of the Company prior to the transfer, is presented within equity on a combined basis in lieu of share capital. All intercompany balances and transactions within the combined businesses of the Company have been eliminated.
Prior to the Separation, the Company was dependent on the Former Parent for all of its working capital and financing requirements as the Former Parent used a centralized approach to cash management and financing its operations. Financial transactions relating to the Company were accounted for as equity contributions from the Former Parent on the consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, none of the Former Parent’s cash and cash equivalents were allocated to the Company for any of the periods presented, unless those balances were directly attributable to the Company. The Company reflects transfers of cash to and from the Former Parent’s cash management system within equity as a component of Net investment by Former Parent on a combined basis and as a component of net capital contribution from Former Parent on a consolidated basis. Other than the debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of Vewd Software Holdings Limited (“Vewd”) discussed in Note 7, the Former
Parent’s long-term debt has not been attributed to the Company for any of the periods presented because the Former Parent’s borrowings are not the legal obligation of the Company.
Prior to the Separation, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss of the Company reflect allocations of general corporate expenses from the Former Parent, including, but not limited to, executive management, sales and marketing, finance, legal, information technology, employee benefits administration, stock-based compensation, treasury, risk management, procurement, and other shared services. These allocations were made on a direct usage basis when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro rata basis of billing, revenue, headcount, or other measures as deemed appropriate. Management of the Company and Former Parent consider these allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services by, or the benefits provided to, the Company. The allocations may not, however, reflect the expenses the Company would have incurred as a standalone company for the periods presented. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Company had been a standalone company would depend on a number of factors, such as the chosen organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by employees and decisions with respect to areas such as facilities, information technology and operating infrastructure.
During the periods prior to the Separation that are presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company’s income tax expense (benefit) and deferred tax balances were included in the Former Parent’s income tax returns. Income tax expense (benefit) and deferred tax balances contained in these consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the Separation are presented on a separate return basis, as if the Company had filed its own income tax returns. As a result, actual tax transactions included in the consolidated financial statements of the Former Parent may or may not be included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Similarly, the tax treatment of certain items reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company may or may not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements and income tax returns of the Former Parent. The taxes recorded in the consolidated statements of operations for periods prior to the Separation Date are not necessarily representative of the taxes that arose when the Company filed its income tax returns independent from the Former Parent’s returns for the tax year ended December 31, 2022. The income tax expense (benefit) recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2022 is presented as if activity from this period would have been included in the same separate return as the nine months of activity through the Separation Date.
In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company funded a new subsidiary, Perceive Corporation (“Perceive”, later known as Xperi Pylon Corporation), a subsidiary focused on edge inference hardware and software technologies. In October 2024, Perceive sold substantially all of its assets and certain liabilities to Amazon.com Services LLC. Refer to Note 7—Acquisitions and Divestitures for details concerning an asset sale transaction related to Perceive.
As of December 31, 2024, Perceive was completely dissolved after all of its remaining assets and liabilities were transferred to the Company. At the time of its dissolution, the Company recognized a loss of $4.8 million within interest and other income, net, on its consolidated statements of operations upon the derecognition of the remaining balance of the noncontrolling interests in Perceive.
Principles of Consolidation
Subsequent to the Transfer during the third quarter of 2022 and through December 31, 2024, the Company’s financial statements were prepared on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as an entity in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Prior to the Transfer and through the date in the third quarter of 2022 when all subsidiaries of Xperi Product were owned by the parent company of Xperi Product, the accompanying financial statements of Xperi Product business were prepared on a combined basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of the Former Parent as the Company was not historically held by a single legal entity. Net investment by Former Parent, which represents the Former Parent’s total net interest in the recorded net assets of the Company prior to the Transfer and through the date when all subsidiaries of Xperi Product were owned by the parent company of Xperi Product, is presented within equity on a combined basis in lieu of share capital. All intercompany balances and transactions within the combined business of the Company have been eliminated.
Foreign Currency Remeasurement and Transactions
Thefunctional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, each foreign subsidiary remeasures monetary assets and liabilities at period-end exchange rates, while non-monetary items are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are remeasured at the exchange rates in effect on the day the transaction occurs, except forthose expenses related to non-monetary assets and liabilities, which are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Remeasurement adjustments are recognized in interest and other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The accounting estimates and assumptions that require management’s most significant, challenging, and subjective judgment include the estimation of licensees’ quarterly royalties prior to receiving the royalty reports, the determination of stand-alone selling price and the transaction price in an arrangement with multiple performance obligations, the assessment of the recoverability of goodwill, the fair value of note receivable and deferred consideration in connection with the AutoSense Divestiture (as described in Note 7—Acquisitions and Divestitures), the assessment of useful lives and recoverability of other intangible assets and long-lived assets, purchase accounting resulting from business combinations, recognition and measurement of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, the assessment of unrecognized tax benefits, and valuation of performance-based awards with a market condition. Actual results experienced by the Company may differ from management’s estimates.
Net Investment by Former Parent
Net investment by Former Parent on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of equity represents the Former Parent’s historical investment in the Company, the net effect of transactions with and allocations from the Former Parent, and the Company’s accumulated deficit.
Net Loss Per Share Attributable to the Company
Net loss per share attributable to the Company is computed by dividing net loss attributable to the Company for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For periods prior to the Separation, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share were based on the number of shares outstanding on October 1, 2022, the Separation Date. In addition, it is assumed that there were no dilutive equity instruments as there were no Xperi stock-based awards outstanding prior to the Separation. Dilutive weighted-average common shares outstanding do not include unvested restricted stock units and stock options for the periods presented because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services, which may include various combinations of goods and services which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. See Note 3—Revenue for detailed discussion on revenue recognition and disaggregation of revenue.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The CODM reviews financial information and manages the business on a consolidated basis for the purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. As such, the Company has determined that it hasone operating segment, which is also its reportable segment. For additional information, see Note 15—Geographic and Segment Related Information.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of deposits maintained in domestic and foreign financial institutions.
Non-Marketable Equity Investments
Investmentsin entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not hold a controlling interest, are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the Company records its proportionate share of income or loss in interest and other income, net, in the consolidated statements of operations. Investments in entities over which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence and which do not have readily determinable fair values, areinitially recognized at cost and remeasured through earnings when there is an observable transaction involving the same or similar investment of the same issuer, or due to an impairment (referred to as the “measurement alternative”). The fair value of non-marketable equity investments is not estimated if there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. The Company monitors its non-marketable securities portfolio for potential impairment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying amount of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and short-term debt approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Note receivable, deferred consideration from divestitures, and long-term debt are carried at amortized cost and measured at fair value on a quarterly basis for disclosure purposes.
Derivative Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities measured at fair value. For derivatives designated as a hedge, and effective as part of a hedge transaction, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and as a basis adjustment to the underlying hedged item and reclassified to earnings in the period in which the hedged item affects earnings. To the extent derivatives do not qualify or are not designated as hedges, or are ineffective, their changes in fair value are recorded in interest and other income, net immediately.
Concentration of Credit and Other Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled contracts receivable, a note receivable and deferred consideration from divestiture. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with large financial institutions, and at times, the deposits may exceed the federally insured limits. As part of its risk management processes, the Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions. The Company has not sustained material credit losses from instruments held at these financial institutions. In addition, the Company has cash and cash equivalents held in international bank accounts that are denominated in various foreign currencies and has established risk management strategies designed to minimize the impact of certain currency exchange rate fluctuations.
The Company believes that any concentration of credit risk in its accounts receivable and unbilled contracts receivable are substantially mitigated by its evaluation process and the high level of credit worthiness of its customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary, but generally requires no collateral.
For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, no customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenue. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, no customer represented 10% or more of the Company’s net balance of accounts receivable.
As described in Note 7—Acquisitions and Divestitures, in the first quarter of 2024, the Company received a note receivable and deferred consideration from Tobii AB (“Tobii”) as part of the consideration for divesting its AutoSense in-cabin safety business and related imaging solutions (the “AutoSense Divestiture”). Both of these instruments are exposed to credit risk arising from default on repayment from Tobii. The credit risk associated with the note receivable is mitigated by establishing a floating lien and security interest in certain of Tobii’s assets, rights, and properties, whereas the deferred consideration is not secured by any collateral. The Company utilizes valuation methodologies such as internally generated cash flow projections on the principal and interest of each instrument, along with the review of certain other data points, to determine the likelihood that the note receivable or deferred consideration will be repaid. Further, the Company assesses each instrument for credit losses and provides a reserve when full payment on the instruments may not occur as expected, in which case the reserve reflects the excess of the amortized cost basis over the results of the cash flow projections. Based on the results of the internally generated cash flow projections, the Company expects Tobii to make full payment on both instruments in accordance with the underlying agreement. Accordingly, no allowance for credit losses was recorded as of December 31, 2024.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to cash collection.
Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, location of customer and the products or services offered, although terms generally require payment from a customer within 30 to 60 days. When the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of cash collection, an evaluation is performed to determine whether the contract includes a significant financing component.
The allowance for credit losses, which includes the allowance for accounts receivable and unbilled contracts receivable, represents the Company’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses inherent in those financial assets. The Company’s lifetime expected credit losses are determined using relevant information about past events (including historical experience), current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability. The Company monitors its credit exposure through ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary. In addition, the Company performs routine credit management activities such as timely account reconciliations, dispute resolution, and payment confirmations. The Company may employ collection agencies and legal counsel to pursue recovery of defaulted receivables.
Inventory
Inventories consist primarily of finished DVRs, TiVo Stream 4K, non-DVRs and accessories and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on an aggregate basis. Cost is computed using standard cost, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Adjustments to reduce the carrying amount of inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value are made, if required, for excess or obsolete goods, which includes a review of, among other factors, demand requirements and market conditions.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the related assets’ estimated useful lives:
| Computer equipment and software | 1 to 5 years |
|---|---|
| Capitalized internal-use software | 3 years |
| Office equipment and furniture | 1 to 5 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Lesser of related lease term or 5 years |
| Building and improvements | Up to 30 years |
Expenditures that materially increase asset life are capitalized, while ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Capitalization of Cloud Computing Costs
The Company capitalizes certain costs related to its enterprise cloud computing arrangem ents during the application development stage. During the post-implementation stage, these costs are amortized as hosting fees on a straight-line basis over the term of the hosting arrangements.
Acquisitions
The Company accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification Topic ASC 805, Business Combinations(“ASC 805”). Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their acquisition date fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. Upon acquisition, the accounts and results of operations are consolidated as of and subsequent to the acquisition date.
When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. The Company utilizes commonly accepted valuation techniques, such as the income approach and the cost approach, as appropriate, in establishing the fair value of intangible assets. Typically, key assumptions include projections of cash flows that arise from identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses as well as disc ount rates based on an analysis of the weighted average cost of capital, adjusted for specific risks associated with the assets.
Identified Intangible Assets and Goodwill Impairment
Identified finite-lived intangible assets consist of acquired patents, existing technology, customer relationships, trademarks and trade names, and non-compete agreements resulting from acquisitions, and acquired patents under asset purchase agreements. The Company’s identified intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 1 to 10 years. Identified indefinite-lived intangible assets include legacy TiVo tradenames and trademarks resulting from acquisitions.
Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired. Goodwill was not amortized, but rather evaluated for potential impairment annually. As part of its annual goodwill impairment test using the quantitative approach, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $604.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. See Note 8—Goodwill Impairment and Intangible Assets, Net for more detail regarding the goodwill impairment.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets include property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, and intangible assets. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Such events and changes may include: a significant decrease in market value, changes in asset use, negative industry or economic trends, and changes in the Company’s business strategy. The Company measures recoverability of these assets by comparing the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows that the assets or the asset group are expected to generate. If the carrying value of the assets is not recoverable, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets.
For identified indefinite-lived intangible assets resulting from acquisitions, the Company evaluates their carrying value on an annual basis, and an impairment charge would be recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their estimated fair value.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets, accrued liabilities, and noncurrent operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, and these terms are factored into the valuation of ROU assets and liabilities when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheets; expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are expensed as incurred and are not included within the lease liability and ROU assets calculation.
As a practical expedient, the Company elected to account for lease components and non-lease components such as common area maintenance costs for all data center, office, and facility leases separately.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are comprised primarily of employee-related costs, stock-based compensation expense, engineering consulting expenses associated with new product and technology development, product commercialization, quality assurance and testing costs, as well as costs related to information technology, patent applications and examinations, materials, supplies, and an allocation of facilities costs. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Stock-based Compensation
Prior to the Separation, certain Company employees participated in the Former Parent’s equity programs. Stock-based compensation expense has been attributed to the Company based on the awards and terms previously granted to the Company’s direct employees, as well as an allocation of the Former Parent’s corporate and shared functional employee expenses.
Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service or performance period. Forfeiture rates are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. If the actual forfeiture rate is materially different from the estimate, stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what was recorded in the current period.
The Company uses the closing trading price of its common stock on the date of grant as the fair value of awards of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) that are based on company-designated performance targets. For PSUs that are based on market conditions, or market-based PSUs, fair value is estimated by using a Monte Carlo simulation on the date of grant. The Company estimates the grant-date fair value of stock to be issued under the employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) using the Black-Scholes pricing model.
Income Taxes
Prior to the Separation, the Company’s operations were included in the tax returns filed by the respective Former Parent entities of which the Company’s businesses were a part. Income tax expense and other income tax-related information contained in these consolidated financial statements are presented on a separate return basis as if the Company had filed its own tax returns. The separate return method applies the accounting guidance for income taxes to the Company’s standalone financial statements as if it were a separate taxpayer and a standalone enterprise for the periods presented. The income tax expense (benefit) recorded for the three month period ended December 31, 2022 is presented as if activity from this period would have been included in the same separate return as the nine months of activity through the date of Separation.
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable to the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
From time to time, the Company engages in transactions in which the tax consequences may be subject to uncertainty. Significant judgment is required in assessing and estimating the tax consequences of these transactions. Accruals for unrecognized tax benefit liabilities, which represent the difference between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized for financial reporting purposes, are recorded when the Company believes it is not more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized when facts and circumstances change, such as the closing of a tax audit, notice of an assessment by a taxing authority or the refinement of an estimate. Income tax benefit includes the effects of adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits, as well as any related interest and penalties.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are presented within selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, were $9.9 million,$8.1 million, and $5.5 million, respectively.
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may be involved in legal and administrative proceedings and claims of various types. The Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Management reviews these estimates in each accounting period as additional information becomes known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in the consolidated financial statements. If a loss is probable but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the loss contingency and an estimate of possible loss or range of loss (unless such an estimate cannot be made). The Company does not recognize gain contingencies until they are realized. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires the Company to disclose interim and annual disclosures on significant segment expenses and other segment related items and is applicable to companies with a single reportable segment. The Company adopted the annual disclosure requirements effective for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, on a retrospective basis, with the interim disclosure requirements becoming effective in the first quarter of 2025. The adoption didnot have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For further information, refer to Note 15—Geographic and Segment Related Information.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure of specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and further disaggregation of income taxes paid for individually significant jurisdictions. This guidance is effective on a prospective or retrospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the disclosures within its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The standard requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements for interim and annual reporting periods. The standard will become effective for the Company’s 2027 annual financial statements and interim financial statements thereafter and may be applied prospectively to periods after the adoption date or retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the financial statements, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the disclosures within its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 –REVENUE
Revenue Recognition
General
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services, which may include various combinations of goods and services which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of sales taxes collected from customers which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Some of the Company’s contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the individual performance obligations are separately accounted for if they are distinct. In an arrangement with multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated among the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) basis. The determination of SSP considers market conditions, the size and scope of the contract, customer and geographic information, and other factors. When observable prices are not available, SSP for separate performance obligations is generally based on the cost-plus-margin approach, considering overall pricing objectives.
When variable consideration is in the form of a sales-based or usage-based royalty in exchange for a license of technology or when a license of technology is the predominant item to which the variable consideration relates, revenue is recognized at the later of when the subsequent sale or usage occurs or the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based or usage-based royalty has been allocated has been satisfied or partially satisfied.
Description of Revenue-Generating Activities
The Company derives the majority of its revenue from licensing its technologies and solutions to customers within the Pay-TV, Consumer Electronics, Connected Car and Media Platform product categories. Refer to Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-K for detailed information regarding these product categories.
Pay-TV
Customers within the Pay-TV category are primarily multi-channel video service providers, consumer electronics (“CE”) manufacturers, and end consumers. Revenue in this category is primarily derived from licensing the Company’s Pay-TV solutions, including Electronic Program Guides, TiVo video-over-broadband (“IPTV”) Solutions, Personalized Content Discovery and enriched Metadata.
For these solutions, the Company provides on-going media or data delivery, either via on-premise licensed software, hosting or access to its platform. The Company generally receives fees on a per-subscriber per-month basis or as a monthly fee, and revenue is recognized during the month in which the solutions are provided to the customer. For most of the on-premise licensed software arrangements, substantially all functionality is obtained through the Company’s frequent updating of the technology, data and content. In these instances, the Company typically has a single performance obligation related to these ongoing activities in the underlying arrangement, and revenue is generally recognized over the period the solution is provided. There are certain fixed fee on-premise licensed software arrangements where revenue is recognized immediately upon the delivery of the licensed technology. Hosted solutions and access to our platform is considered a single performance obligation with revenue being recognized over the period the solution is provided.
The Company licenses its audio technologies to CE manufacturers or their supply chain partners.
The Company generally recognizes royalty revenue from licenses based on units shipped or manufactured. Revenue is recognized in the period in which the customer’s sales or production are estimated to have occurred. This may result in an adjustment to revenue when actual sales or production are subsequently reported by the customer, generally in the month or quarter following sales or production. Estimating customers’ quarterly royalties prior to receiving the royalty reports requires the Company to make significant assumptions and judgments related to forecasted trends and growth rates used to estimate quantities shipped or manufactured by customers, which could have a material impact on the amount of revenue it reports on a quarterly basis.
Certain customers enter into fixed fee or minimum guarantee agreements, whereby customers pay a fixed fee for the right to incorporate the Company’s technology in the customer’s products over the license term. In arrangements with a minimum guarantee, the fixed fee component corresponds to a minimum number of units or dollars that the customer must produce or pay, with additional per-unit fees for any units or dollars exceeding the minimum. The Company generally recognizes the full fixed fee as revenue at the beginning of the license term when the customer has the right to use the technology and begins to benefit from the license. If applicable, revenue is recognized net of the effect of any significant financing components calculated using customer-specific, risk-adjusted lending rates, with the related interest income being recognized over time on an effective rate basis. For minimum guarantee agreements where the customer exceeds the minimum, the Company recognizes revenue relating to any additional per-unit fees in the periods it estimates the customer will exceed the minimum and adjusts the revenue based on actual usage once that is reported by the customer.
The Company licenses its digital radio solutions, automotive infotainment and related offerings to automotive manufacturers or their supply chain partners.
The Company generally recognizes royalty revenue from these licenses based on units shipped or manufactured, similar to the revenue recognition described above in “Consumer Electronics”. Certain customers may enter into fixed fee or minimum guarantee agreements, also similar to the revenue recognition described above in “Consumer Electronics”. Automotive infotainment and related revenue is generally recognized over time as the customer obtains access to the solutions and underlying data.
The Company generates revenue from advertising, TV viewership data, and licensing of the core middleware solutions.
Advertising revenue is generally recognized when the related advertisement is provided. TV viewership data revenue is generally recognized over time as the customer obtains the underlying data. License revenue for the Vewd solutions is generally recognized either on a per-unit royalty or a minimum guarantee or fixed fee basis, similar to as described in the “Consumer Electronics” section above.
Hardware Products, Services and Settlements/Recoveries
The Company sells hardware products, primarily to end consumers, within the Pay-TV, Media Platform and Consumer Electronics product categories. Hardware product revenue is generally recognized when the promised product is delivered.
The Company also generates non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) revenue within all of its product categories. The Company recognizes NRE revenue as progress is made toward completion, generally using an input method based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs of the project.
Revenue from each of advertising, NRE services, and hardware products was less than 10% of total revenue for all periods presented.
The Company actively monitors and enforces its technology licenses, including seeking appropriate compensation from customers that have under-reported royalties owed under a license agreement and from third parties that utilize the Company’s technologies without a license. As a result of these activities, the Company may, from time to time, recognize revenue from periodic compliance audits of licensees for underreporting royalties incurred in prior periods, or from license disputes. These settlements and recoveries may cause revenue to be higher than expected during a particular reporting period and such settlements and recoveries may not occur in subsequent periods. The Company recognizes revenue from settlements and recoveries when a binding agreement has been executed or a revised royalty report has been received and the Company concludes collection is probable.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company’s revenue that is recognized over time consists primarily of per unit royalties, per-subscriber per-month or monthly license fees, single performance obligations satisfied over time, and NRE services. Revenue that is recognized at a point in time consists primarily of fixed fee or minimum guarantee licensing contracts, hardware products, advertising and settlements/recoveries.

Contract Balances
Contract Assets
A contract asset represents a right to consideration that is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. Contract assets primarily consist of unbilled contracts receivable that are expected to be received from customers in future periods, where revenue is recognized upon the completion of performance obligations, but in advance of billings. The amount of unbilled contracts receivable may not exceed their net realizable value and is classified as noncurrent if the amounts are expected to be invoiced more than one year from the reporting date.
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities are mainly comprised of deferred revenue, which arises when cash payments are received in advance of performance obligations being satisfied. Deferred revenue generally consists of prepaid licenses or other fees for which the Company is paid in advance while the promised good or service is transferred to the customer at a future date or over time.
The following table presents additional revenue disclosures (in thousands):
| Year Ended December 31, | |||

| Performance obligations satisfied in previous periods (trueups, recoveries, and settlements) (1)(2) | $9,999 | $11,863 | $30,561 |
(1)
True ups represent the differences between the Company’s quarterly estimates of per-unit royalty revenue and actual production/sales-based royalties reported by licensees that are generally received in the following period, and may include other changes in estimates. Recoveries represent corrections or revisions to previously reported per-unit royalties by licensees, generally resulting from the Company’s inquiries or compliance audits. Settlements represent resolutions of disputes or litigation during the period for past royalties owed.
(2)
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded revenue from both the settlement of a contract dispute with a large mobile imaging customer, and the execution of a long-term license agreement with the same large mobile imaging customer. The long-term license agreement was effective as of the expiration of the prior agreement, and the Company expected to record revenue from the license agreement in future periods.

No impairments to the carrying amount of the Company’s non-marketable equity securities were recognized in the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
Derivatives Instruments
The Company uses a foreign exchange hedging strategy to hedge local currency expenses and reduce variability associated with anticipated cash flows. The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of foreign currency forward contracts. The maturities of these instruments are generally less than twelve months. Fair values for derivative financial instruments are based on prices computed using third-party valuation models. All the significant inputs to the third-party valuation models are observable in active markets. Inputs include current market-based parameters such as forward rates, yield curves, and credit default swap pricing.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company designates certain foreign currency forward contracts as hedging instruments pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivatives are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) in stockholders’ equity and reclassified into earnings in the consolidated statements of operations in the period upon which the hedged transactions are settled.

Undesignated Derivatives
Forderivatives that were not designated as hedge instruments, they were measured and reported at fair value as a derivative asset or liability in the consolidated balance sheets with their corresponding changes in the fair value recognized as gains or lossesin interest and other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. These instruments were all re-designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges in July 2023.
NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE
The Company follows the authoritative guidance for fair value measurement and the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities. The Company carries its financial instruments at fair value with the exception of its long-term debt. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, or an exit price, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The established fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
Level 2 Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
When applying fair value principles in the valuation of assets, the Company is required to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company calculates the fair value of its Level 1 and Level 2 instruments based on the exchange traded price of similar or identical instruments, where available, or based on other observable inputs.
The Company’s derivative financial instruments (as described in Note 5—Financial Instruments), consisting of foreign currency forward contracts, are reported at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as Level 2.
Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value
The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for the Company’s assets and liabilities recorded at their carrying amount, bur for which the fair value is disclosed (in thousands):

| Liabilities: | ||||
| Senior Unsecured Promissory Note | $50,000 | $50,000 | $50,000 | $49,659 |
The fair value of the note receivable, including accrued interest, and the deferred consideration resulting from the AutoSense Divestiture and the Perceive Transaction (as described in Note 7—Acquisitions and Divestitures) were estimated based on an income and market approach with valuation inputs such as the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields, comparable bond yields, and credit spreads over the term of the same or similarly issued instruments. They are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The senior unsecured promissory note (as described in Note 9—Debt) was classified as current in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024, at a fair value approximating its carrying amount. The Company classifies the senior unsecured promissory note within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
NOTE 7 – ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Vewd Software Holdings Limited
On July 1, 2022, the Company acquired all common stock of Vewd Software Holdings Limited (“Vewd,” and the “Vewd Acquisition”). Vewd is a leading global provider of streaming and hybrid TV solutions. The Vewd Acquisition establishes the Company as a leading independent streaming media platform through its TiVo brand and one of the largest independent providers of Smart TV middleware globally. The total consideration was approximately $102.9 million, consisting of approximately $52.9 million of cash and $50.0 million of debt. See Note 9—Debt for additional information on this debt.
Purchase Price Allocation
The Vewd Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, using the acquisition method. The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair values at the acquisition date (fair value amounts in thousands):

| Total purchase price | $102,913 | ||||
Identifiable Intangible Assets
Identifiable intangible assets primarily consist of technology, customer relationships, non-compete agreements and trade name. In determining the fair value, the Company utilized various forms of the income and cost approaches depending on the asset being valued. The estimation of fair value required significant judgment related to cash flow forecasts, discount rates reflecting the risk inherent in each cash flow stream, competitive trends, market comparables and other factors. Inputs were generally determined using historical data supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, and growth rates. The technology was valued using the excess earnings method. Significant assumptions used under this method include forecasted revenue and growth, estimated technology obsolescence, contributory asset charges, and the discount rate. The customer relationships were valued using the cost approach, based on estimated customer acquisition costs.
Goodwill
The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recognized as goodwill. The goodwill is generated from operational synergies and cost savings the Company expects to achieve from the consolidated operations, as well as the expected benefits from future technologies that do not meet the definition of an identifiable intangible asset and Vewd’s knowledgeable and experienced workforce.
Transaction and Other Costs
In connection with the Vewd Acquisition, the Company incurred significant one-time expenses such as transaction-related costs, including transaction bonuses, legal expenses and consultant fees, and severance and retention costs. For the year ended December 31, 2022, transaction-related costs and severance and retention costs were $7.4 million and $4.0 million, respectively.
Supplemental Pro Forma Information
The following unaudited pro forma financial information assumes the Vewd Acquisition was completed as of January 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma financial information as presented below is for informational purposes only and is based on estimates and assumptions that have been made solely for purposes of developing such pro forma information. This is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the Vewd Acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2021, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results. Consequently, actual results could differ materially from the unaudited pro forma financial information presented below. The following table presents the pro forma operating results as if the acquired operations of Vewd had been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations as of January 1, 2021 (unaudited, in thousands):

| Revenue | $508,636 |
| Net loss attributable to the Company | $(769,483) |
The unaudited supplemental pro forma information above includes the following pro forma adjustments: adjustments for transaction-related costs and severance and retention costs, adjustments for amortization of intangible assets, adjustments for interest and related expenses associated with Vewd’s historical debt, elimination of inter-company transactions between Vewd and the Company, and adjustments for the related income tax impact. The unaudited supplemental pro forma information above does not include any cost saving synergies from operating efficiencies.
AutoSense In-cabin Safety Business and Related Imaging Solutions
In December 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Tobii in connection with the AutoSense Divestiture. The AutoSense Divestiture represented a 100% equity sale transaction of two of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and was expected to streamline the Company’s business to further focus its business on entertainment-related products and services. All of the assets and liabilities associated with the AutoSense Divestiture were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023.

Total assets held for sale also included certain fully amortized finite-lived intangible assets with an original cost of $35.2 million.
Due to the estimated fair value less cost to sell exceeding the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities presented above, the Company did not recognize an impairment loss related to the assets held for sale in the year ended December 31, 2023.
On January 31, 2024, the AutoSense Divestiture was completed for total consideration of $44.3 million, comprised of $10.8 million of cash, a note receivable from Tobii (the “Tobii Note”) of $27.7 million, and deferred consideration (as described under Deferred Consideration below) totaling $15.0 million, which was estimated to have a fair value of $5.8 million based on a present value factor as of January 31, 2024. The $10.8 million of cash included in the total consideration represents the cash balance that was transferred to Tobii upon completion of the AutoSense Divestiture to support operations during the transition and was subsequently returned to the Company, and as such, this amount is included in the assets sold as of January 31, 2024 and in the total consideration received. In addition, there may be potential earnout payments (as described under Contingent Consideration below) payable in 2031, contingent upon the future success of the divested AutoSense in-cabin safety business.
In connection with the AutoSense Divestiture, the Company also recorded a liability of $7.1 million for potential indemnification of certain pre-closing date matters.

Total assets held for sale also included certain fully amortized finite-lived intangible assets with an original cost of $35.2 million.
Upon the completion of the AutoSense Divestiture, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $22.9 million.
The AutoSense Divestiture did not represent a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, and therefore, its results of operations were not reported as discontinued operations.
Note Receivable from Tobii AB
The Tobii Note, with a fixed interest rate of 8% per annum, matures on April 1, 2029 and is payable in three annual installments. Tobii may, at any time and on any one or more occasions, prepay all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount, along with accrued interest, without any penalty. In the event of default, an additional interest of 2% per annum may be applied to the outstanding balance of the Tobii Note, and the Company has the right to demand full or partial payment on the outstanding balance with unpaid interest.
The Tobii Note is secured by a floating lien and security interest in certain of Tobii’s assets, rights, and properties, and contains customary affirmative and negative covenants including the restrictions on incurring certain indebtedness, and certain change of control and asset sale events, but does not include any financial covenants.
The Tobii Note has the following scheduled principal repayments (in thousands):
| Date of Principal Payment: | Amount |
|---|---|
| April 1, 2027 | $10,000 |
| April 1, 2028 | 10,000 |
| April 1, 2029 | 7,676 |
| Total principal payments | $27,676 |
The Company elected to present accrued interest within the carrying amount of note receivable, noncurrent, in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of the Tobii Note is as follows (in thousands):
| Outstanding principal amount | $27,676 |
|---|---|
| Add: interest accrued to date | 2,026 |
| Carrying amount—note receivable, noncurrent | $29,702 |
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized interest income of $2.0 million.
Deferred Consideration
The deferred consideration consists of guaranteed future cash payments, which are scheduled to be made by Tobii in four annual payments as follows (in thousands):
| Date of Payment: | Amount |
|---|---|
| February 15, 2028 | $3,000 |
| February 15, 2029 | 2,250 |
| February 15, 2030 | 4,500 |
| February 15, 2031 | 5,250 |
| Total future payments | $15,000 |
At the closing date of the Tobii Note, there was $9.2 million of discount on the deferred consideration to be accreted as interest income up to the date of the final payment. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company accreted $1.0 million of the discount as interest income.
As of December 31, 2024, the net carrying amount of the deferred consideration is as follows (in thousands):
| Total deferred consideration | $15,000 |
|---|---|
| Less: unamortized discount on deferred consideration | (8,197) |
| Net carrying amount | $6,803 |
Contingent Consideration
The earnout represents potential incremental cash consideration, and the payment is contingent upon the achievement of certain targeted shipments, between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2030, of qualified automotive products featuring the AutoSense in-cabin safety technology and the related imaging solutions.
At the closing date of the AutoSense Divestiture, the Company elected to apply the gain contingency guidance under ASC 450—Contingencies, as it could not reasonably estimate shipment amounts. As a result, the Company deferred the recognition of the contingent consideration until it becomes realized or realizable.
Perceive Corporation
On August 14, 2024, the Company and its subsidiary, Perceive (now known as Xperi Pylon Corporation) (“Seller”), of which the Company owned approximately 76.4% of the equity interests, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Amazon.com Services LLC (“Buyer”) pursuant to which Buyer has agreed to purchase and assume from Seller substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of Seller for $80.0 million in cash, including a holdback of $12.0 million to be held for 18 months after the closing of the transaction to secure the Company’s and Seller’s indemnification obligations (the “Perceive Transaction”). The Perceive Transaction was subsequently completed on October 2, 2024 (the “Closing Date”).
The Perceive Transaction did not represent a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, and therefore, its results of operations were not reported as discontinued operations.
As of October 2, 2024, the Company derecognized the carrying amounts of the following assets and liabilities (in thousands):
| Current | Noncurrent | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assets: | |||
| Prepaid expenses and other current assets | $1,306 | $— | $1,306 |

| Total liabilities held for sale | $67 | $6 | $73 |
| Net assets held for sale | $1,239 | $165 | $1,404 |
Upon the completion of the Perceive Transaction in 2024, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $77.9 million, of which $59.5 million was attributable to the Company.
Holdback Consideration
The holdback consideration of $12.0 million was estimated to have a fair value of $11.3 million based on a present value factor as of the Closing Date, resulting in a discount of $0.7 million. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the amount of discount accreted as interest income was insignificant.
As of December 31, 2024, the net carrying amount of the holdback consideration is as follows (in thousands):
| Holdback consideration | $12,000 |
|---|---|
| Less: unamortized discount on holdback consideration | (586) |
| Net carrying amount | $11,414 |
NOTE 8 – GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
Goodwill Impairment
Goodwill was evaluated for potential impairment annually, as of the beginning of the fourth quarter, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicated the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. The process of evaluating goodwill for potential impairment is subjective and requires significant estimates, assumptions and judgments particularly related to the identification of reporting units, the assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units and estimating the fair value of each reporting unit. The Company concluded it operated inone reporting unit for all periods presented.
During the third and fourth quarters of 2022, sufficient impairment indicators were identified by the Company that it was more-likely-than-not that goodwill was impaired, and a quantitative interim goodwill impairment test was performed in each of the reporting periods. These impairment indicators included a sustained decline in the Former Parent’s stock price during the third quarter of 2022 and a further significant decline in the trading price of Xperi’s common stock during the fourth quarter of 2022, along with continued decline in macroeconomic conditions. A fair value assessment was completed for the reporting unit using the market approach capitalization, and when compared to the carrying value of this reporting unit, goodwill was considered impaired. As a result, a goodwill impairment charge of $604.6 million was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2022. As a result of this impairment charge, the Company’s goodwill balance was completely written off as of December 31, 2022.

NOTE 9 – DEBT
In connection with the Vewd Acquisition as disclosed in Note 7, on July 1, 2022, TiVo Product Holdco LLC, which was subsequently renamed Xperi Inc., issued a senior unsecured promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to the sellers of Vewd in a principal amount of $50.0 million. Indebtedness outstanding under the Promissory Note bears an interest rate of 6.00% per annum, payable in cash on a quarterly basis. If a certain qualified spin-off transaction occurs, the interest rate will be increased to the greater of (a)6.00%and (b) the sum of (i) the highest interest rate payable under any credit facility or bonds, debentures, notes or similar instruments where the Company or any guarantor borrows money or guarantees obligations on a secured basis onor after the date of such spin-off transaction, plus (ii)2.00%. It was determined that the Spin-Off completed on October 1, 2022 did not trigger any change in the interest rate of the debt. The Promissory Note matures on July 1, 2025. The Company may, at any time and on any one or more occasions, prepay all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, under the Promissory Note without premium or penalty. In addition, the Promissory Note has mandatory prepayment provisions upon certain change of control or asset sale events.
The Promissory Note includes certain covenants that restrict the Company and each guarantor’s ability to, among other things, incur certain indebtedness or engage in any material line of business substantially different from those lines of business conducted by the Company on the closing date of the acquisition. The Promissory Note does not contain any financial covenants.
The principal amount of $50.0 million on the Promissory Note was classified as current in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024. Interest expense on the Promissory Note was $3.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and$1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
NOTE 10 – LEASES
The Company leases office and research facilities, data centers and office equipment under operating leases with various expiration dates through 2030. Certain leases offer theoption to renew for up to ten years and to terminate before the expiration date.
The Company subleases certain real estate to third parties. The sublease portfolio consists of operating leases for previously exited office space. Certain subleases include variable payments for operating costs. The subleases are generally co-terminus with the head lease, or shorter. Subleases do not include any residual value guarantees or restrictions or covenants imposed by the leases. Income from subleases is recognized as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses.
The Company began the effort of optimizing its global real estate footprint and decided to vacate and sublease certain offices following the Spin-Off in October 2022. Due to the change in how the office facilities were being used, a significant decrease in the expected market price of the operating lease ROU assets, and expected delays in subleasing the space based on the condition of the commercial real estate market, the Company recorded impairment charges of $1.5 million, $1.7 million and $7.7 million in the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, to reduce the carrying amount of certain operating lease ROU assets, including the related leasehold improvements.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Unconditional Purchase Obligations
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual agreements with third parties that include non-cancelable payment obligations, for which it is liable in future periods. These arrangements primarily include unconditional purchase obligations to service providers. Total future unconditional purchase obligations as of December 31, 2024 were as follows (in thousands):
| Year Ending December 31: | Amounts |
|---|---|
| 2025 | $47,867 |
| 2026 | 37,497 |
| 2027 | 16,210 |
| 2028 | 10,150 |
| 2029 | 10,066 |
| Thereafter | 16,104 |
| Total | $137,894 |
Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Company provides indemnifications of varying scopes and amounts to certain of its licensees, customers, and business partners against claims made by third parties arising from the use of the Company's products, intellectual property, services, or technologies. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the possible range of losses that may be incurred pursuant to its indemnification obligations, if any. Variables affecting any such assessment include, but are not limited to: the scope of the contractual indemnification obligation; the nature of the third party claim asserted; the relative merits of the third party claim; the financial ability of the third party claimant to engage in protracted litigation; the number of parties seeking indemnification; the nature and amount of damages claimed by the party suing the indemnified party;
and the willingness of such party to engage in settlement negotiations. The Company has received requests for indemnification, but to date none has been material, and no liability has been recorded in the Company’s financial statements.
As permitted under Delaware law, the Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company believes, given the absence of any such payments in the Company’s history, and the estimated low probability of such payments in the future, that the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is not material. In addition, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that is intended to reduce its financial exposure and may enable the Company to recover any payments under the indemnification agreements, should they occur.
Contingencies
The Company and its subsidiaries have been involved in litigation matters and claims in the normal course of business. In the past, the Company or its subsidiaries have litigated to enforce their respective patents and other intellectual property rights, to enforce the terms of license agreements, to determine infringement or validity of intellectual property rights, and to defend themselves or their customers against claims of infringement or breach of contract. The Company expects it or its subsidiaries will be involved in similar legal proceedings in the future, including proceedings to ensure proper and full payment of royalties by licensees under the terms of their license agreements. Accruals for loss contingencies are recognized when a loss is probable, and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated.
An adverse decision in any legal actions could result in a loss of the Company’s proprietary rights, subject the Company to significant liabilities, require the Company to seek licenses from others, limit the value of the Company’s licensed technology or otherwise negatively impact the Company’s stock price or its business and consolidated financial results. Although considerable uncertainty exists, the Company does not anticipate that the disposition of any of these matters will have a material effect on its business or consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 12 – NET LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE COMPANY
On October 1, 2022,42,023,632 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, were distributed to the Former Parent’s stockholders of record as of September 21, 2022. This share amount is utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented prior to the Separation and such shares are treated as issued and outstanding for purposes of calculating historical net loss per share. For periods prior to the Separation, it is assumed that there are no dilutive equity instruments as there were no Xperi stock-based awards outstanding prior to the Separation.
For periods subsequent to the Separation, actual outstanding shares are used to calculate both basic and diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive common shares, such as common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards and units are typically reflected in the computation of diluted net income per share by application of the treasury stock method. Due to the net losses reported, these potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, since their effect would be anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted shares (in thousands, except per share amounts):
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
| Numerator: | |||

| Total | 7,517 | 7,254 | 4,750 |
NOTE 13 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Prior to the Separation, certain of the Company’s employees participated in equity-based compensation plans sponsored by the Former Parent. The Former Parent’s equity-based compensation plans included incentive compensation plans and an ESPP. All grants made through September 30, 2022 were issued under those plans which are described fully in the Form 10 filed with the SEC on September 14, 2022.
On October 1, 2022, in connection with the Separation, all outstanding Former Parent equity awards were equitably adjusted to reflect the impact of the Separation. The adjustments to each type of award outstanding pursuant to the Former Parent equity incentive plans as of immediately prior to the Separation was determined in accordance with the terms of the Employee Matters Agreement by and between Adeia Inc. and Xperi Inc., dated as of October 1, 2022 (the “EMA”). In connection with this adjustment, each outstanding Former Parent equity award as of the Separation Date was converted into either (a) both Adeia and Xperi equity awards, with certain adjustments to the underlying shares and terms of outstanding awards to preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of each award immediately after the Separation when compared to the aggregate intrinsic value immediately prior to the Separation, or (b) an equity award of only Adeia common stock or only Xperi common stock, with an adjustment to the number of shares to preserve the value of the award. Following the Separation, the Adeia awards and Xperi awards related to prior grants made by the Former Parent are subject to substantially the same terms and vesting conditions that applied to the original Former Parent awards immediately prior to the Separation.
The conversion of the Former Parent equity awards was accounted for as a modification, resulting in $8.4 million of incremental stock-based compensation expense to be recognized over the remaining vesting term of the modified awards.
Equity Incentive Plan
In connection with the Separation and on October 1, 2022, the Company adopted the Xperi Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 EIP”).
Under the 2022 EIP, the Company may grant equity-based awards to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants for services rendered to the Company (or any parent or subsidiary) in the form of stock options, stock awards, restricted stock awards, RSUs, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and performance awards, or any combination thereof. The 2022 EIP includes an automatic annual increase to its shares reserve on January 1 of each year as set forth in the plan document.
The 2022 EIP provides for option grants designated as either incentive stock options or non-statutory options. Stock options have been granted with an exercise price not less than the value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date and have 10-year contractual terms from the date of grant and vest over afour-year period. The vesting criteria for restricted stock units has historically been the passage of time or meeting certain performance-based objectives, and continued employment through the vesting period over three orfour years for time-based awards orthree years for performance-based awards.
As of December 31, 2024, there were approximately 4.9 million shares reserved for future grant under the 2022 EIP.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In connection with the Separation and on October 1, 2022, the Company adopted the Xperi Inc. 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as amended, the “2022 ESPP”). The 2022 ESPP originally provided consecutive overlapping 24-month offering periods, with four purchase periods that were generally six months in length, commencing on each December 1 and June 1 during the term of the 2022 ESPP. The 2022 ESPP was subsequently amended, and commencing December 1, 2023, the length of the offering periods was reduced from 24 months to 12 months andthe employee’s maximum participant contribution was reduced from 100% to 15% of the employee’s after-tax base earnings and commissions up to the limit imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. The accumulated deductions will be applied to the purchase of shares on each semi-annual purchase date. The purchase price per share will equal 85% of the fair market value per share on the start date of the offering period or, if lower,85% of the fair market value per share on the semi-annual purchase date.
The change in the term of the offering period (as described above) was accounted for as a modification, where the original options to purchase shares were cancelled and concurrently replaced with new options from the 12-month offering period. There wasno incremental compensation expense resulting from the modification. As of December 1, 2023, total compensation expense of $5.9 million was expected to be recognized by the Company, on a straight-line basis, over an accelerated term of 12 months.
The 2022 ESPP also includes a reset provision if the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on any purchase date during an offering period is less than the fair market value per share on the start date of the 12-month offering period. Upon occurrence of the reset, the existing offering period will automatically terminate and a new 12-month offering period will begin on the next business day. All participants in the terminated offering will be transferred to the new offering period.
The reset provision under the 2022 ESPP was triggered on May 31, 2024, and it was considered a modification in accordance with ASC 718—Stock Based Compensation, with the incremental fair value of $2.0 million to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the new 12-month offering period.
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company issued 1.1 million shares and 1.3 million shares under the 2022 ESPP, respectively, at a weighted-average purchase priceof $7.30 and $8.92, respectively, net of shares withheld to satisfy withholding tax requirements for certain employees, for an aggregate net proceeds of $7.9 million and $11.9 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2024, there were approximately 2.6 million shares reserved for future grant under the 2022 ESPP.
The following table summarizes the valuation assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the 2022 ESPP for the offering periods in effect using the Black-Scholes option pricing model:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Expected life (years) | 0.5 — 1.0 | 0.5 — 2.0 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.3% — 5.4% | 4.3% — 5.4% |
| Dividend yield | 0.0% | 0.0% |
| Expected volatility | 44.4% — 45.6% | 44.1% — 51.2% |
Prior to the Separation, the valuation assumptions were determined by the Former Parent. The following assumptions were used to value the Former Parent’s ESPP shares granted to employees specifically identifiable to Xperi in the year ended December 31, 2022:
| Year Ended December 31, | |
|---|---|
| Expected life (years) | 2.0 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 1.3% |
| Dividend yield | 1.1% |
| Expected volatility | 48.5% |
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of ESPP shares. The determinations of these assumptions are outlined below:
Expected life—The expected life assumption is based on analysis of the Company’s historical employee exercise patterns. The expected life of options granted under the ESPP represents the offering period oftwo years. Effective December 1, 2023, the expected life of options granted under the ESPP was changed toone year.
Volatility—Due to limited historical trading data, volatility is calculated based on a peer group over the most recent period that represents the remaining term of the vesting period as of the valuation date. For ESPP with the expected life ofone year, volatility is calculated based on the Company’s stock price.
Risk-free interest rate—The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for issues, commensurate with the expected life of the options granted.
Dividend yield—Following the Separation in October 2022, the Company does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Prior to the Separation, the Former Parent determined the expected dividend yield based on cash dividends declared by the board of directors for the previous four quarters and dividing that result by the average closing price of the Former Parent’s common stock for the quarter. Cash dividends were not paid on stock options, restricted stock units, or unvested restricted stock awards.

Performance-Based Awards
From time to time, the Company may grant PSUs to senior executives, certain employees, and consultants. The value and the vesting of such PSUs are generally linked to one or more performance goals or certain market conditions determined by the Company, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Company and may range from zero to 200% of the grant. For PSUs subject to market conditions, the fair value per award is fixed at the grant date and the amount of compensation expense is not adjusted during the performance period regardless of changes in the level of achievement of the market condition.
In April 2023, in accordance with the EMA executed by the Company and the Former Parent in connection with the Separation, the Company modified certain vesting conditions related to market-based PSUs granted in 2022, resulting in a total incremental compensation expense of $2.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining requisite service period through April 2025.
The Company uses the closing trading price of its common stock on the date of grant as the fair value of awards of RSUs and PSUs that are based on Company-designated performance targets. For PSUs that are based on market conditions, or market-based PSUs, fair value is estimated by using a Monte Carlo simulation on the date of grant.
The following assumptions were used to value the market-based PSUs granted during the period:
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
| Expected life (years) | 3.0 | 1.5 — 2.8 | 3.0 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.2% | 4.5% — 5.0% | 2.8% |
| Dividend yield | 0.0% | 0.0% | 1.2% |
| Expected volatility | 43.9% | 44.1% — 51.2% | 40.9% |
Assumptions used in the year ended December 31, 2022 were for market-based PSUs granted by the Former Parent.
Stock Repurchase Programs
In April 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of its common stock (the “Program”). Under the Program, the Company may make repurchases, from time to time, through open market purchases, block trades, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase transactions, or other means. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases under the Program. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased a total of approximately 2.2 million shares of common stock, at an average price of $9.23 per share for a total cost of $20.0 million. The shares repurchased were permanently retired. No expiration date has been specified for this Program. As of December 31, 2024, the total remaining amount available for repurchase was $80.0 million.
Stock-Based Compensation
Prior to the Separation, the stock-based compensation expense was based on the expense for employees specifically identifiable to Xperi. Consequently, the amounts presented are not necessarily indicative of future awards and do not necessarily reflect the costs that the Company would have incurred as an independent company.
Total stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 is as follows (inthousands):

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts for income tax purposes.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company released $1.3 million of valuation allowance associated with certain foreign deferred tax assets due to the change in circumstances that affect the realizability of those deferred tax assets.
Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands):

The need for a valuation allowance requires an assessment of both positive and negative evidence when determining whether it is more-likely-than-not that deferred tax assets are recoverable. Such assessment is required on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. In making such assessment, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. After considering both positive and negative evidence to assess the recoverability of the Company’s net deferred tax assets, the Company determined that it was not more-likely-than-not that it would realize its federal, certain state and certain foreign deferred tax assets. The Company intends to continue maintaining a valuation allowance on its federal deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain federal deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. The exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release depends on the level of profitability that the Company is able to achieve.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had recorded deferred tax assets for the tax effects of the following gross tax loss carryforwards (in thousands):

At December 31, 2024, the Company asserts that it will not permanently reinvest its foreign earnings outside the United States. The Company anticipates that the cash from its foreign earnings may be used domestically to fund operations or used for other business needs. The accumulated undistributed earnings generated by its foreign subsidiaries was approximately$33.1 million. Substantially all of these earnings will not be taxable upon repatriation to the United States since they will be treated as previously taxed earnings and profits. The U.S. state income taxes and foreign withholding taxes related to the distributable cash of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are not expected to be material.
The following table summarizes the total unrecognized tax benefits and the amounts of which that would affect the effective tax rate upon recognition of such as of December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 (in thousands):
| December 31, | |||

| Amount affecting the effective tax rate upon recognition of unrecognized tax benefits | $1,198 | $9,592 | $8,791 |
The Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the timing of the long-term payments or the amount by which the unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease over the next 12 months.
The reconciliation of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 is as follows (in thousands):

It is the Company’s policy to classify accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, we recognized interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of an immaterial amount, $0.3 million, and an immaterial amount, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, accrued interest and penalties were $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
With few exceptions, the Company’s 2020 through 2024 tax years are open to examinationin the United States, any net operating losses or credits that were generated in prior years, but not yet fully utilized in a year that is closed under the statute of limitations, may also be subject to examination.

NOTE 16 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND NET INVESTMENT BY FORMER PARENT
For periods prior to the Separation, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a standalone basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of the Former Parent. The following disclosure summarizes activity prior to the Separation between the Company and the Former Parent, including affiliates of the Former Parent that were not part of the Separation.
Allocation of Corporate Expenses
Prior to Separation, the consolidated financial statements included expenses for certain management and support functions which were provided on a centralized basis within the Former Parent, as described in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. These management and support functions include, but are not limited to, executive management, sales and marketing, finance, legal, information technology, employee benefits administration, stock-based compensation, treasury, risk management, procurement and other shared services. These allocations were made on a direct usage basis when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro rata basis of billing, revenue, headcount or other measures of the Company and the Former Parent.
The amount of these allocations from the Former Parent was $47.6 million, which included $3.0 million for depreciation expenses and $44.6 million for selling, general and administrative for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Management believes these cost allocations are a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to, or the benefit derived by, the Company during the periods presented. The allocations may not, however, be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had the Company operated as a standalone public company. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Company had been a standalone public company would depend on a number of factors, such as the chosen organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by the Company’s employees, and strategic decisions made in areas such as selling, information technology and infrastructure.
Net Transfers from Former Parent
A reconciliation of net transfers from the Former Parent on the consolidated statements of equity to the corresponding amount on the consolidated statements of cash flows was as follows (in thousands):
| Year Ended December 31, | |
|---|---|
| Total net transfers from Former Parent per consolidated statements of equity | $100,915 |
| Stock-based compensation | (45,303) |
| Net proceeds from capital contributions by Former Parent | 83,235 |
| Issuance of equity to noncontrolling interest | (1,423) |
| Other | (1,387) |
| Total net transfers from Former Parent per consolidated statements of cash flows | $136,037 |
NOTE 17 – BENEFIT PLAN
The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement savings plan that allows voluntary contributions by all eligible U.S. employees upon their hire date. Eligible employees may elect to contribute up to the maximum amount allowed under Internal Revenue Service regulations. The Company can make discretionary contributions under the 401(k) plan. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s employer 401(k) match expense was approximately $3.9 million, $4.3 million, and $5.4 million, respectively.
NOTE 18 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Receivables Financing Agreement
On February 21, 2025, the Company and Xperi SPV LLC (“Xperi SPV”), a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary, entered into a Receivables Financing Agreement (the “RFA”) with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), and PNC Capital Markets LLC, and a Sale and Contribution Agreement (the “SCA,” and, together with the RFA, the “RF Agreements”) among the Company, Xperi SPV and certain other wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Originators”) to establish an accounts receivable securitization program (the “AR Facility”). The Company controls Xperi SPV and will consolidate it in its consolidated financial statements. Under the AR Facility, the Originators have agreed to periodically transfer and sell current and future accounts receivable and all related rights to Xperi SPV through the SCA. In turn, Xperi SPV may borrow funds from PNC from time to time, secured by liens on the receivables and other assets of Xperi SPV. The maximum amount potentially available to borrow, based on the eligibility of the receivables, is $55.0 million. Interest on the outstanding balance is accrued at the sum of (i) either a monthly term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) or, for any day, the SOFR rate for a one-month period, as published by PNC, at the election of the Company, and (ii)1.90%. Additional interest of 0.50% is accrued on the unused borrowing limit. Interest is payable on a monthly basis. The AR Facility matures on February 21, 2028, unless terminated earlier pursuant to its terms. Repayment of the outstanding principal is due at maturity; however, the Company may prepay all of the outstanding principal at any time, plus accrued and unpaid interest, without any premium or penalty. If, at any time, the aggregate outstanding principal exceeds the eligibility limit of the receivables, the Company is required to repay the excess amount borrowed immediately. Subject in some cases to cure periods, amounts outstanding under the RFA may be accelerated for customary events of default including, but not limited to, the failure to make payments or deposits when due, borrowing base deficiencies, and the failure to observe or comply with any covenant.
Upon entering into the RFA on February 21, 2025, the Company borrowed $40.0 million under the AR Facility.
Repayment on Senior Unsecured Promissory Note
On February 21, 2025, the Company voluntarily repaid the full $50.0 million outstanding balance of its Promissory Note (as described in Note 9—Debt) along with accrued interest, with $40.0 million borrowed from the AR Facility with PNC (as described above) and the remainder with cash on hand.
