ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

On March 8, 2006 we announced financial results for our fourth quarter ended January 31, 2006. Service and technology revenues for the quarter increased 37% to $47.0 million, compared with $34.2 million for the same prior year period. Net loss for the quarter was ($19.5) million or ($0.23) per share, compared to a net loss of ($33.7) million, or ($0.42) per share, for the three months ended January 31, 2005.

Our total subscriptions reached almost 4.4 million, with the addition of 356,000 total new subscriptions in the quarter. TiVo-Owned subscription gross additions were 221,000 for the quarter, compared to 276,000 in the fourth quarter of last year. TiVo-Owned subscription net additions were 183,000 compared to 251,000 in the fourth quarter of last year. The installed base of DIRECTV subscriptions is now approximately 2.9 million with the addition of 173,000 new DIRECTV subscriptions in the quarter. We also announced, effective next week, the elimination of the product lifetime service option for new subscribers.

TiVo-Owned Churn Rate. Management reviews this metric, and believes it may be useful to investors, in order to evaluate our ability to retain existing subscribers by providing compelling services that are competitive in the market. We define the TiVo-Owned Churn Rate as the TiVo-Owned subscription (including both monthly and product lifetime subscriptions) cancellations per month in the period divided by the average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for the period. We calculate average subscriptions by adding the average subscriptions for each month and dividing by the number of months in the period. We calculate average subscriptions for each month by adding the beginning and ending subscriptions for the month and dividing by two. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating churn and caution that our presentation may not be consistent with that of other companies.

Subscription Acquisition Costs (SAC)

   $ 157     $ 140     $ 191     $ 182  
                                

Subscription Acquisition Cost (“SAC”). Management reviews this metric, and believes it may be useful to investors, in order to evaluate trends in the efficiency of our marketing programs and subscription acquisition strategies. We define SAC as our total acquisition costs divided by TiVo-Owned subscription gross additions. We define total acquisition costs as the sum of sales and marketing expenses, rebates, revenue share, and other payments to channel, minus hardware gross margin (defined as hardware revenues less cost of hardware revenues). As a result of the seasonal nature of our subscription growth, our SAC varies significantly during the year. Management primarily reviews this metric on an annual basis due to the timing difference between our recognition of promotional program expense and the subsequent addition of the related subscription acquisition. Accordingly, we are presenting SAC on a trailing twelve months basis as well in order to show SAC over the longer-term. We do not include DIRECTV subscription gross additions in our calculation of SAC because we incur limited or no acquisition costs for new DIRECTV subscriptions. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating total acquisition costs or SAC and caution that our presentation may not be consistent with that of other companies.

   $ 1.14     $ 1.39     $ 1.15     $ 1.52  
                                

Average Revenue Per Subscription (“ARPU”). Management reviews this metric, and believes it may be useful to investors, in order to evaluate the potential of our subscription base to generate revenues from a variety of sources, including subscription fees, advertising, and audience measurement research. ARPU does not include rebates, revenue share and other payments to channel that reduce our GAAP revenues, and, as a result, you should not use ARPU as a substitute for measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes it is useful to consider this metric excluding the costs associated with rebates, revenue share and other payments to channel because of the discretionary nature of these expenses and because management believes these expenses are more appropriately monitored as part of SAC. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating ARPU and caution that our presentation may not be consistent with that of other companies.

We calculate ARPU per month for TiVo-Owned subscriptions by subtracting DIRECTV-related service revenues (which includes DIRECTV subscription service revenues and DIRECTV-related advertising revenues) from our total reported service revenues and dividing by the number of months in the period. We then divide by average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for the period, calculated as described above for churn rate.

The decrease in ARPU per month for DIRECTV is the result of the large addition of new DIRECTV subscriptions. While these more recent DIRECTV subscription additions offer lower recurring revenues than subscriptions added during earlier phases of our DIRECTV relationship, they result in more attractive percent margins in our financial results because they generally involve limited or no acquisition costs and lower recurring expenses.


We calculate ARPU per month for DIRECTV subscriptions by first subtracting TiVo-Owned-related service revenues (which includes TiVo-Owned subscription service revenues and TiVo-Owned related advertising revenues) from our total reported service revenues. Then we divide average revenues per month for DIRECTV-related service revenues by average subscriptions for the period.

Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as, “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “intend,” “estimate,” “continue,” or similar expressions or the negative of those terms or expressions. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to vary materially from those expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially include delays in development, competitive service offerings and lack of market acceptance, as well as the other potential factors described under “Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results” in the Company’s public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended April 30, 2005, July 31, 2005, and October 31, 2005. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect an analysis only and speak only as of the date hereof. TiVo disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
