SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 5, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rovi Corporation
(Nasdaq:ROVI), formerly known as Macrovision Solutions Corporation, announced
today, on a GAAP basis, third quarter 2009 revenues of $115.3 million, compared
to $108.5 million for the third quarter of 2008. Third quarter 2009 GAAP net
loss was $11.9 million compared to net income of $7.5 million for the third
quarter of 2008. GAAP diluted net loss per common share for the quarter was
$0.12 compared to earnings per share of $0.07 for the third quarter of 2008.

As management believes that including Gemstar's operating results only for the
period since its acquisition on May 2, 2008 diminishes the comparative value of
results from the prior year, management believes it is useful to measure the
results on a non-GAAP Adjusted Pro Forma basis, assuming the Gemstar acquisition
was consummated on January 1, 2007. The Adjusted Pro Forma results also exclude
the Company's Software, Games, eMeta and TV Guide Magazine businesses, which
were sold in 2008; and the TVG Network, TV Guide Network and TV Guide Online
businesses, which were sold during the first quarter of 2009. On this basis,
third quarter 2009 revenues were $115.3 million, compared to $108.5 million for
the third quarter of 2008. Adjusted Pro Forma Income was $34.3 million in the
third quarter of 2009 compared to $27.9 million in the third quarter of 2008.
Adjusted Pro Forma Income Per Common Share for the third quarter of 2009 was
$0.33, compared to $0.27 for the third quarter of 2008. Adjusted Pro Forma
Income Per Common Share is calculated using Adjusted Pro Forma Income. Adjusted
Pro Forma Income is defined as pro forma income (loss) from continuing
operations, adding back non-cash items such as equity-based compensation,
amortization of intangibles, amortization or write-off of note issuance costs,
non-cash interest expense recorded under FSP APB 14-1 and the reversals of
discrete tax reserves; as well as items which impact comparability that are
required to be recorded under GAAP, but that the Company believes are not
indicative of its core operating results such as transaction, transition and
integration costs, restructuring and asset impairment charges, insurance
settlements, payments to note holders and for related expenses to allow for
early redemption and gains on sale of strategic investments. While depreciation
expense is a non-cash item, it is included in Adjusted Pro Forma Income as a
reasonable proxy for capital expenditures. Reconciliations between pro forma and
Adjusted Pro Forma results from operations are provided in the tables below.

"We grew revenues by 6% in Q3 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 and we
grew Adjusted Pro Forma Income by 23% during the same period," said Fred
Amoroso, President and CEO of Rovi. "In addition, we achieved a number of
important business objectives during the third quarter, including making
excellent progress on our TotalGuide solution, signing important customer wins,
continuing to expand our data licensing business and paying down our debt."

"Agreements already closed early in the fourth quarter improve our 2009
visibility and we are raising the low end of the 2009 revenue and earnings
estimates and narrowing the range for the balance of 2009," added James Budge,
Chief Financial Officer. "We currently expect our 2009 revenue estimates to
range between $475 and $480 million and we expect our 2009 Adjusted Pro Forma
Income Per Common Share to fall in a range of between $1.45 and $1.50."

GAAP to Adjusted Pro Forma Reconciliation

Rovi Corporation provides non-GAAP or Adjusted Pro Forma information. References
to Adjusted Pro Forma information are non-GAAP pro forma measures. The Company
provides Adjusted Pro Forma financial information to assist investors in
assessing its current and future operations in the way that its management
evaluates those operations. Adjusted Pro Forma Revenue, Adjusted Pro Forma
Income and Adjusted Pro Forma Income Per Common Share are supplemental measures
of the Company's performance that are not required by, and are not presented in
accordance with GAAP. The Adjusted Pro Forma information does not substitute for
any performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, including, but not
limited to, GAAP basis pro forma information. Rovi Corporation believes that
providing Adjusted Pro Forma financial information is useful to investors.
Adjusted Pro Forma financial information assumes the Gemstar and other
acquisitions, divestitures, and discontinued operations and product lines were
effective on January 1, 2007. Additionally, the TVG Network, TV Guide Network
and TV Guide Online businesses are assumed to have been sold for aggregate
proceeds of $275 million which is assumed to have reduced the debt issued in
conjunction with the acquisition of Gemstar. Further, Adjusted Pro Forma Income
and Adjusted Pro Forma Income Per Common Share exclude the effect of non-cash
items and items which impact comparability that are required to be recorded
under GAAP, but that the Company believes are not indicative of its core
operating results, or that the Company expects to be incurred over a limited
period of time. While depreciation expense is a non-cash item, it is included in
Adjusted Pro Forma Income as management considers it a proxy for capital
expenditures.

As a result of the Gemstar acquisition, the Company's management evaluates and
makes operating decisions about its business operations primarily based upon
Adjusted Pro Forma Revenue, Adjusted Pro Forma Income and Adjusted Pro Forma
Income Per Common Share. Management uses Adjusted Pro Forma Income and Adjusted
Pro Forma Income Per Common Share as measures as they exclude amortization of
intangibles, amortization or write-off of note issuance costs, non-cash interest
expense recorded under FSP APB 14-1, the reversals of discrete tax reserves,
equity-based compensation, transaction costs, transition and integration costs,
restructuring and asset impairment charges, insurance settlements, payments to
note holders and related expenses to allow for early redemption and gains on
sale of strategic investments; items management does not consider to be "core
costs" when making business decisions. Therefore, management presents these
Adjusted Pro Forma financial measures along with GAAP measures. The income
statement line items impacted in the adjustment from GAAP to the Adjusted Pro
Forma presentation in this earnings release are cost of revenues; research and
development; selling, general and administrative; amortization; restructuring
and asset impairment charges; interest expense; loss on debt redemption, gain on
sale of strategic investments and income tax (benefit) expense.

For each such Adjusted Pro Forma financial measure, the adjustment provides
management with information about the Company's underlying operating performance
that enables a more meaningful comparison of its financial results in different
reporting periods. For example, since Rovi Corporation does not acquire
businesses on a predictable cycle, management excludes amortization of
intangibles from acquisitions, transaction costs and transition and integration
costs in order to make more consistent and meaningful evaluations of the
Company's operating expenses. Management also excludes the effect of
restructuring and asset impairment charges, insurance settlements, losses on
debt redemption and gains on sale of strategic investments for the same reason.
Management excludes discontinued product lines as it believes this exclusion is
as meaningful for comparability purposes as excluding the results from a
business that meets the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations on
a GAAP basis. Management excludes the impact of equity-based compensation to
help it compare current period operating expenses against the operating expenses
for prior periods and to eliminate the effects of this non-cash item, which,
because it is based upon estimates on the grant dates, may bear little
resemblance to the actual values realized upon the future exercise, expiration,
termination or forfeiture of the equity-based compensation, and which, as it
relates to stock options and stock purchase plan shares, is required for GAAP
purposes to be estimated under valuation models, including the Black-Scholes
model used by Rovi Corporation.

Management uses these Adjusted Pro Forma measures to help it make budgeting
decisions, including decisions that affect operating expenses and operating
margin. Further, Adjusted Pro Forma financial information helps management track
actual performance relative to financial targets. Making Adjusted Pro Forma
financial information available to investors, in addition to GAAP financial
information, may also help investors compare the Company's performance with the
performance of other companies in our industry, which may use similar financial
measures to supplement their GAAP financial information.

Management recognizes that the use of Adjusted Pro Forma measures has
limitations, including the fact that management must exercise judgment in
determining which types of charges should be excluded from the Adjusted Pro
Forma financial information. Because other companies, including companies
similar to Rovi Corporation, may calculate their non-GAAP financial measures
differently than the Company calculates its Adjusted Pro Forma measures, these
Adjusted Pro Forma measures may have limited usefulness in comparing companies.
Management believes, however, that providing this Adjusted Pro Forma financial
information, in addition to the GAAP financial information, facilitates
consistent comparison of the Company's financial performance over time. The
Company has provided Adjusted Pro Forma financial information to the investment
community, not as an alternative, but as an important supplement to GAAP
financial information; to enable investors to evaluate the Company's core
operating performance in the same way that management does. Reconciliations
between pro forma and Adjusted Pro Forma results of operations are provided in
the tables below.

 (1) Service provider revenue includes any revenue related to an IPG
 deployed by a service provider in a subscriber household regardless
 of whether the ultimate payment for that IPG comes from the service
 provider or from a manufacturer of a set-top box. IPG revenues for
 IPGs included in a set-top box deployed by a service provider where
 payment was made by the set-top box manufacturer were previously
 classified in Consumer electronics manufacturers. Prior period
 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period
 presentation.
 (2) Adjustments include $0.2 million and $0.0 million for equity
 based compensation and $0.0 million and $0.5 million for transition
 and integration costs in Q309 and Q308, respectively.
 (3) Adjustments include $1.2 million and $0.4 million for equity
 based compensation and $0.0 million and $0.6 million for transition
 and integration costs in Q309 and Q308, respectively.
 (4) Adjustments to selling, general and administrative consist of the
 following:

 (5) While depreciation is a non-cash item, it is included in Adjusted
 Pro Forma Income From Continuing Operations as management considers
 it a proxy for capital expenditures.
 (6) Adjustments eliminate non-cash interest expense such as
 amortization of note issuance costs and the FSP APB 14-1 convertible
 note discount.
 (7) Adjustments eliminate $5.6 million of non-cash charges from the
 write-off of note issuance costs as well as $3.1 million in payments
 to note holders and for related expenses, to allow for early
 redemption of the 11% Senior Notes.
 (8) For 2009, utilization of net operating losses result in an
 adjusted pro forma tax rate of 11%. For 2008, tax effect adjustments
 at 33% and eliminate discrete tax benefit of $7.9 million.
 (9) GAAP Pro Forma information for Q309 is the same as our GAAP
 results. No adjustments have been made to the GAAP results since they
 are comparative with prior quarters' pro forma results.
