ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

 

On May 26, 2005 we announced financial results for our first quarter ended April 30, 2005.

 

Service and technology revenues for the quarter increased 59% to $40.0 million, compared with $25.2 million for the same period last year. Net loss for the quarter was ($0.9) million, or ($0.01) per share, compared to a net loss of ($9.1) million, or ($0.11) per share, for the three months ended April 30, 2004.

 

Our total subscriptions reached more than 3.3 million, with the addition of 319,000 total net new subscriptions in the quarter. The installed base of DIRECTV with TiVo subscriptions is now approximately 2.1 million with the addition of 247,000 net new subscriptions in the quarter; while the installed base of TiVo-Owned subscriptions grew by 72,000 in Q1 to a level of over 1.2 million.

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 average TiVo-Owned subscription (including both monthly and product lifetime subscriptions) cancellations per month in the period divided by the average of 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 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. 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.

DIRECTV ARPU per month

   $ 1.19     $ 1.65  
    


 


 

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.

 

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.
