In this Quarterly Report, the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Xperi Holding Corporation, (or Xperi Corporation for periods prior to June 1, 2020), which operates its business through its subsidiaries. Unless specified otherwise, the financial results in this Quarterly Report are those of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
Business Overview
On December 18, 2019, Xperi Corporation (“Xperi”) entered into a definitive agreement with TiVo Corporation (“TiVo”), to combine in an all-stock merger of equals transaction (the “Mergers”). Following consummation of the Mergers on June 1, 2020, Xperi Holding Corporation became the parent company of both Xperi and TiVo. The common stock of both Xperi and TiVo were de-registered after completion of the Mergers. On June 2, 2020, Xperi Holding Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “XPER.” Xperi was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Mergers. As a result, the historical financial statements of Xperi for periods prior to the Mergers are considered to be the historical financial statements of Xperi Holding Corporation. As used herein, the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Xperi when referring to periods prior to June 1, 2020 and Xperi Holding Corporation when referring to periods subsequent to June 1, 2020. Our results of operations include the operations of TiVo after June 1, 2020. For further discussion on the Mergers, refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” and “Note 7 – Business Combination” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In connection with the Mergers, we incurred significant one-time expenses in the first two quarters of 2020 such as transaction costs (e.g. bankers fees, legal fees, consultant fees, etc.), severance costs and stock-based compensation expense resulting from the contractually-obligated acceleration of equity instruments for departing executives. Total transaction costs amounted to $24.4 million and $27.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Post-merger severance and
40
stock-based compensation expense resulting from the contractually-obligated acceleration of equity instruments were $ 6.7 mill io n and $ 1.5 mil l ion, respectively, for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. We expect to achieve at least $ 50.0 million of annualized run-rate cost savings by year-end 2021 through the integration of the respective product and IP licensing businesses of the legacy companies.
We are a leading consumer and entertainment technology licensing company and one of the industry’s largest intellectual property (IP) licensing platforms, with a diverse portfolio of media and semiconductor intellectual property and more than 11,000 patents and applications. We invent, develop, and deliver technologies that enable extraordinary experiences. Xperi technologies, delivered via our brands (DTS, HD Radio, IMAX Enhanced, Invensas, TiVo), and by our subsidiary, Perceive Corporation (“Perceive”), make entertainment more entertaining, and smart devices smarter. Our technologies are integrated into billions of consumer devices, media platforms, and semiconductors worldwide, driving increased value for partners, customers and consumers. We shape how millions of consumers access and experience entertainment content, and our innovations are found in billions of devices and hundreds of millions of interfaces around the globe. Headquartered in Silicon Valley with operations around the world, we have approximately 2,000 employees and over 35 years of operating experience.
COVID-19 Impact
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, and has since spread throughout the world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. In an effort to protect the health and safety of our employees, we took proactive, aggressive action from the earliest signs of the outbreak to adopt social distancing policies at our locations around the world, including working from home, limiting the number of employees attending meetings, and suspending employee travel. In an effort to contain COVID -19 and slow its spread, governments around the world have also enacted various measures, including orders to close all business locations not deemed “essential,” isolate people to their places of residence, and practice social distancing when engaging in essential activities.
We anticipate that these actions and the resulting global economic impacts will negatively impact our consolidated financial results for the remainder of 2020. The impact to date has included significant volatility and a decline in demand in various markets and industries, particularly the automotive market, which has been adversely impacted and is expected to continue to adversely impact our revenue. For example, we anticipate approximately a 20-30% decline in our royalty revenue in 2020 from our products sold to the automotive market, such as HD Radio, as compared to the prior year. In addition, we recorded, in the first quarter of 2020, an incremental provision for credit losses of approximately $2.0 million due to heightened risk of nonpayment on existing accounts receivable as a result of the impaired financial condition and liquidity positions of certain of our customers.
We have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business, including legislation to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act which was enacted on March 27, 2020. A significant portion of our anticipated revenue for 2020 is derived from fixed-fee and minimum-guarantee arrangements, primarily from large, well-capitalized customers which we believe somewhat mitigates the risks to our business. Although we are unable to predict the full impact and duration of COVID-19 on our business, we are actively managing our financial expenditures in response to the current uncertainty. Further discussion of the potential impacts on our business from the COVID-19 pandemic is provided under Part II, Item 1A – Risk Factors .
Results of Operations
Revenue
We generate our revenue from the following principal activities.
License Agreements
We operate in two business segments. In our Product segment, we license our audio, imaging, edge-based machine learning and multi-channel video user experience (“UX”) solutions. In our IP Licensing segment, we license (i) our media patent portfolios (“IP Media licensing”) to pay television providers, consumer electronics manufacturers and other providers of video experiences across various platforms and (ii) our semiconductor technologies and associated patent portfolios (“IP Semiconductor licensing”) to semiconductor manufacturers, fabless companies, foundries and packaging companies. We license our technologies and portfolios under three revenue models: (i) fixed-fee IP Media licensing, (ii) fixed-fee or minimum guarantee IP Semiconductor or Product licensing, and (iii) per-unit or per-subscriber royalty licenses.
Fixed-fee IP Media licensing
41
Our long-term fixed-fee IP Media licensing agreements provide our customers with the rights to future patented technologies over the term of the agreement that are highly interdependent or highly interrelated to the patented technologies provided at the inception of the agreement. We treat these rights as a single performance obligation with revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the fixed-fee license agreement.
At times, we enter into license agreements in which a licensee is released from past patent infringement claims and is granted a license to ship an unlimited number of units or for an unlimited number of subscribers over a future period for a fixed fee. In these arrangements, we allocate the transaction price between the release for past patent infringement claims and the future license. As the release from past patent infringement claims is generally satisfied at execution of the agreement, the transaction price allocated to the release from past patent infringement claims is generally recognized in the period the agreement is executed and the amount of transaction price allocated to the future license is recognized ratably over the future license term.
Fixed-fee or minimum guarantee IP Semiconductor or Product licensing
We enter into Product or IP Semiconductor licenses that have fixed fee or minimum guarantee arrangements, whereby licensees pay a fixed fee for the right to incorporate our technology in the licensee'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. In most cases, the customer pays the fixed license fee in specified installments over the license term. For both fixed fee and minimum guarantee agreements for IP Semiconductor or Product licensing, we recognize the full fixed fee as revenue at the beginning of the license term, when the licensee has the right to use the IP and begins to benefit from the license.
If the contract term of a fixed fee or minimum guarantee arrangement is longer than one year, we also consider the scheduled payment arrangements to determine whether a significant financing component exists. In general, if the payment arrangements extend beyond the initial twelve months of the contract, we treat a portion of the payments as a significant financing component. The discount rate used for each arrangement reflects the rate that would be used in a separate financing transaction between us and the licensee at contract inception and takes into account the credit characteristics of the licensee and market interest rates as of the date of the agreement. As such, the amount of fixed fee revenue recognized at the beginning of the license term will be reduced by the calculated financing component.
We actively monitor and enforce our IP, including seeking appropriate compensation from customers that have under-reported royalties owed under a license agreement and from third parties that utilize our intellectual property without a license. As a result of these activities, we may, from time to time, recognize revenue from payments resulting from periodic compliance audits of licensees for underreporting royalties incurred in prior periods, as part of a settlement of a patent infringement dispute, or from legal judgments in a license dispute. These recoveries and settlements may cause revenue to be higher than expected during a particular reporting period and such recoveries may not occur in subsequent periods. We recognize revenue from recoveries when a binding agreement has been executed and we conclude collection under that agreement is likely.
Per-unit or per-subscriber royalty licenses
We recognize revenue from per-unit or per-subscriber royalty licenses in the period in which the licensee's sales or production are estimated to have occurred, which results in an adjustment to revenue when actual sales or production are subsequently reported by the licensee, which is generally in the month or quarter following usage or shipment. We generally recognize revenue from royalty licenses on a per-subscriber per-month model for licenses with service providers and a per-unit shipped or manufactured model for licenses with CE manufacturers. Estimating licensees’ quarterly royalties prior to receiving the royalty reports requires us to make significant assumptions and judgments related to forecasted trends and growth rates used to estimate quantities shipped by customers, which could have a material impact on the amount of revenue we report on a quarterly basis.
Arrangements with Multiple System Operators for the TiVo Service
Our arrangements with multiple system operators ("MSOs") typically include software customization and set-up services, associated maintenance and support, limited training, post-contract support, TiVo-enabled DVRs, non-DVR STBs and the TiVo service.
We have two types of arrangements with MSOs that include technology deployment and engineering services. In instances where we host the TiVo service, non-refundable payments received for customization and set-up services are deferred and recognized as revenue ratably over the hosting term. The related cost of such services is capitalized to the extent it is deemed recoverable and amortized to cost of revenue over the same period as the related TiVo service revenue is recognized. We
42
estimate the stand-alone selling prices for training, DVRs, non-DVR STBs and maintenance and support based on the price charged in stand-alone sales of the promised good or service. The stand-alone selling price for the TiVo service is determined considering the size of the MSO and expected volume of deployment, market conditions, competitive landscape, internal costs and total gross margin objectives. For a term license to the TiVo service, we receive license fees for the hosted TiVo service on either a per-subscriber per-month basis or a fixed fee. We recognize revenue from per-subscriber per-month licenses during the month the TiVo service is provided to the customer and recognize revenue from fixed fee licenses ratably over the license period.
In arrangements where we do not host the TiVo service and that include engineering services that are essential to the functionality of the licensed technology or involve significant customization or modification of the software, we recognize revenue as progress toward completion is made using an input method based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs of the project. Estimating project costs requires forecasting costs, tracking progress toward completion and projecting the remaining effort to complete the project. These estimates are reassessed throughout the term of the arrangement, and revisions to estimates are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis when the changed conditions become known. We generally recognize revenue from license fees for the TiVo service that the Company does not host on a per-subscriber per-month basis due to the recognition constraint on intellectual property usage-based royalties.
Subscription Services
Subscription services revenue primarily consists of fees to provide customers with access to one or more of our hosted products such as the iGuide IPG, advanced search and recommendations, metadata and analytics products, including routine customer support. We generally receive per-subscriber per-month fees for the iGuide IPG and search and recommendations service and revenue is recorded in the month the customer uses the service. We generally receive a monthly or quarterly fee from our metadata or analytics licenses for the right to use the metadata or access our analytics platform and to receive regular updates. Revenue from our metadata and analytics service is recognized ratably over the subscription period.
TiVo-enabled DVRs and TiVo Service
We sell TiVo-enabled DVRs and the related service directly to customers through sales programs via the TiVo.com website and license the sale of TiVo-enabled DVRs through a limited number of retailers. After the initial subscription period, all customers have various pricing options when they renew their subscription.
The transaction price allocated to the DVR is recognized as revenue upon shipment to the customer and the transaction price allocated to the TiVo service is recognized as revenue ratably over the service period. Subscription revenue from lifetime subscriptions is recognized ratably over the estimated useful life of the DVR associated with the subscription. The estimated useful life for a DVR depends on a number of assumptions, including, but not limited to, customer retention rates, the timing of new product introductions and historical experience. We periodically reassess the estimated useful life of a DVR. When the actual useful life of the DVR materially differs from our estimates, the estimated useful life of the DVR is adjusted, which could result in the recognition of revenue over a longer or shorter period of time.

The $62.5 million, or 83% increase in total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily due to the inclusion of $52.8 million of revenue from the results of TiVo operations and a new IP Semiconductor patent and technology license agreement that became effective in the second quarter of 2020. The increase in revenue was partially offset by a decrease in royalty revenue from existing Product licensing agreements.

The $123.6 million or 94% increase in total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily due to the inclusion of $52.8 million of revenue from the results of TiVo’s operations, a new IP Semiconductor patent and technology license agreement that became effective in the second quarter of 2020, and an IP Semiconductor litigation settlement reached in March 2020. The increase in revenue was partially offset by a decrease in royalty revenue from existing Product licensing agreements.
Cost of Licensing, Services and Software Revenue, E xcluding Depreciation and Amortization of Intangible Assets
Cost of licensing, services and software revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, consists primarily of employee-related costs, royalties paid to third parties, maintenance costs and an allocation of facilities costs, as well as service center and other expenses related to providing the TiVo Service, non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) services and our metadata offering.
44
Cost of licensing, services and software revenue , excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets , for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $ 8.3 million, as compared to $2. 5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 , a n increase of $ 5.8 million . Cost of licensing, services and software revenue , excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $ 9.8 million, as compared to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 , an increase of $ 5.3 million . The increases were primarily due to the inclusion of $ 6.8 million of TiVo expenses since the M ergers. Excluding TiVo expenses, the costs would have decrease d by $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 20 2 0, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, due principally to lower royalties paid to a third party in connection with a Product segment contract in the first two quarter s of 20 20 .
We anticipate cost of licensing, services and software revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, will continue to increase in 2020 when compared to 2019 due to incremental expenses from the combined TiVo operations.
Cost of Hardware Revenue, E xcluding Depreciation and Amortization of Intangible Assets
Cost of hardware revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, includes all product-related costs associated primarily with TiVo-enabled devices, including employee-related costs, warranty costs, order fulfillment costs, certain licensing costs, and an allocation of facilities costs.
Cost of hardware revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $1.4 million, as compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $1.3 million. Cost of hardware revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $1.5 million, as compared to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $1.3 million. The increases were primarily due to the inclusion of $1.4 million of TiVo expenses since the Mergers.
We anticipate cost of hardware revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, will increase in 2020 when compared to 2019 due to incremental expenses from the combined TiVo operations.
Research, Development and Other Related Costs
Research, development and other related costs (“R&D expense”) 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 patent applications and examinations, product "tear downs" and reverse engineering, materials, supplies, equipment depreciation and an allocation of facilities costs. All research, development and other related costs are expensed as incurred.
R&D expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $38.2 million, as compared to $25.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $12.9 million. R&D expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $66.8 million, as compared to $52.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $14.8 million. The increases were due to the inclusion of $9.8 million of TiVo expenses since the Mergers, increased headcount and personnel costs in Perceive which was created to focus on delivering edge inference solutions, and severance charges incurred in connection with consolidating and optimizing post-merger operations.
We believe that a significant level of R&D expense will be required for us to remain competitive in the future. We also anticipate that R&D expense will increase significantly in future periods as a result of TiVo R&D expenses being fully included in future periods.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for sales and marketing personnel engaged in sales and licensee support, reverse engineering personnel and services, marketing programs, public relations, promotional materials, travel, trade show expenses, and stock-based compensation expense. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for general management, information technology, finance personnel, legal fees and expenses, facilities costs, stock-based compensation expense, and professional services. Our general and administrative expenses, other than facilities-related expenses, are not allocated to other expense line items.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $68.2 million, as compared to $27.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $40.9 million. The increase was due principally to the
45
inclusion of $ 2 9. 4 million of TiVo expenses since the Mergers, legacy Xperi merger transaction costs of $ 11.1 million and legacy Xperi post-merger severance costs of $ 2.3 million , partially offset by a reduction in travel and entertainment expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $104.8 million, as compared to $56.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $48.3 million. The increase was due principally to the inclusion of $29.4 million of TiVo expenses since the Mergers, legacy Xperi merger transaction costs of $14.2 million and legacy Xperi post-merger severance costs of $2.3 million.
We anticipate selling, general and administrative expenses will remain higher than in the prior year due to inclusion of the TiVo operations.
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $3.3 million, as compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $1.5 million. Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $5.1 million, as compared to $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $1.7 million. The increases were primarily attributable to depreciation expense on fixed assets recorded in connection with the Mergers in June 2020.
We anticipate depreciation expense will continue to increase in 2020 as a result of the Mergers.
Amortization Expense
Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $32.0 million, as compared to $25.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $6.7 million. Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $54.6 million, as compared to $50.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $3.8 million. These increases were primarily attributable to amortization of intangible assets recorded in connection with the Mergers in June 2020.
With the Mergers, we anticipate that amortization expenses will continue to be a significant expense since we acquired approximately $878 million in intangible assets which will be amortized over the next several years. See “Note 8 - Goodwill and Identified Intangible Assets” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Litigation Expense
Litigation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $3.9 million, as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $2.7 million. Litigation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $6.0 million, as compared to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $3.5 million. These increases were primarily due to inclusion of $2.2 million of TiVo litigation expenses since the Mergers, and increased case activity in the first two quarters of 2020.
In 2019 and in 2020 prior to the Mergers TiVo’s litigation expenses were significantly higher than Xperi’s litigation expenses in the same periods. We expect that litigation expense will continue to be a material portion of our operating expenses and, as a result of the Mergers, will increase significantly in future periods. Litigation expense may fluctuate between periods because of planned or ongoing litigation, as described in Part II, Item 1 – Legal Proceedings, and because of litigation planned for or initiated from time to time in the future in order to enforce and protect our intellectual property and contract rights.
Upon expiration of our customers’ licenses, if those licenses are not renewed, litigation may become necessary to secure payment of reasonable royalties for the use of our patented technology. If we plan for or initiate such litigation, our future litigation expenses may increase.

Stock-based compensation awards include employee stock options, restricted stock awards and units, and employee stock plan purchases. The increases in stock-based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, were a result of including incremental $2.2 million from assumed TiVo stock awards, partially offset by lower ongoing expenses driven primarily by a decline in the market price of the awards granted.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $7.0 million and $6.2 million, respectively. The increase in interest expense in the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily a result of a higher average debt balance as compared to the second quarter of 2019 as we entered into a new term loan of $1,050 million on June 1, 2020 to refinance the indebtedness of the combined companies in connection with the Mergers.
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $11.2 million and $12.9 million, respectively. The decrease in interest expense in the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily a result of a lower average debt balance as compared to the comparable period in 2019, coupled with lower interest rates on our debt in the first two quarters in 2020.
We anticipate interest expense to increase in 2020 when compared to 2019 as a result of increased borrowings and amortization of debt issuance costs in connection with the Mergers in June 2020.
Other Income and Expense, Net
Other income and expense, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $0.6 million, as compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Other income and expense, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $1.1 million, as compared to $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Other income and expense was lower in the current year due principally to recognition of an unrealized gain of $2.0 million and $1.6 million on our equity investment in Onkyo Corporation common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Additionally, lower other income and expense, net, in the current year was attributable to a decrease in interest income from financing components under Topic 606.
Loss on Debt Extinguishment
In connection with the Mergers, we refinanced the indebtedness of the combined companies, and recognized a loss on early debt extinguishment of $8.3 million in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. We did not incur a loss on early debt extinguishment in 2019.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded an income tax benefit of $9.3 million on a pretax loss of $32.4 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded an income tax benefit of $7.2 million on a pretax loss of $11.6 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 62.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The tax benefit of $7.2 million is comprised of a $10.5 million tax benefit related to the five month pre-merger period and a tax expense of $3.3 million related to the one month post-merger period. The five month pre-merger income tax benefit of $10.5 million was primarily related to a net decrease in valuation allowance as a result of the Mergers, deduction from foreign-derived intangible income, and the release of unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of applicable statute of limitation offset by tax expense from operating income, shortfalls from stock-based compensation, certain non-deductible expenses, and unrealized foreign exchange losses from the prior period South Korea refund claim. The one month post-merger income tax expense of $3.3 million was primarily
47
related to income tax expense from foreign operations, foreign withholding taxes and U.S. federal minimum tax. As a result of the M erger s , a valuation allowance was recorded on the net deferred tax assets of the U.S. federal consolidated group.
For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded an income tax benefit of $3.5 million on a pretax loss of $9.7 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded an income tax benefit of $12.5 million on a pretax loss of $44.1 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 28.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily related to tax benefit from operating losses and the realization of certain tax credits, offset by foreign withholding taxes, certain non-deductible expenses, and shortfalls from stock-based compensation.
Our income tax provision is based on our worldwide estimated annualized effective tax rate, except for jurisdictions for which a loss is expected for the year and no benefit can be realized for those losses, and the tax effect of discrete items occurring during the period. The tax for jurisdictions for which a loss is expected and no benefit can be realized for the year is computed using a separate effective tax rate. The decrease in income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the prior year is largely attributable to a decrease in operating losses, increase in valuation allowance in the post-merger period, foreign withholding taxes, U.S. federal minimum taxes, and unrealized foreign exchange loss from the South Korea refund claim partially offset by tax benefits from the release of unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of applicable statute of limitation and a decrease in valuation allowance as a result of the Mergers.
During the fourth quarter of 2019, we filed a refund claim for foreign taxes previously withheld from licensees in South Korea based on recent court rulings in South Korea and other business factors. These previously withheld foreign taxes were claimed as a foreign tax credit in the U.S. As a result of our refund claim, we recorded a non-current income tax receivable of $65.2 million in income tax receivable, an unrecognized tax benefit of $48.2 million in other long-term liabilities, and a reduction in deferred tax assets of $17.0 million. We anticipate filing a refund claim for the 2020 year-to-date South Korean withholding taxes. During the first six months of 2020, an additional non-current income tax receivable of $8.4 million, an unrecognized tax benefit of $6.2 million in other long-term liabilities, and a reduction in deferred tax assets of $2.2 million were recorded. As part of our accounting for the acquisition of TiVo, we recorded a non-current income tax receivable of $28.8 million and a reduction in deferred tax assets of $12.5 million with a corresponding offset to valuation allowance, with the residual recorded to goodwill. At June 30, 2020, we had recorded a cumulative unrealized foreign exchange loss of approximately $4.0 million as a reduction in non-current income tax receivable.
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 our net deferred tax assets, we determined that it was not more-likely-than-not that we would realize our federal, certain state and certain foreign deferred tax assets given the substantial amount of tax attributes that will remain unutilized to offset forecasted future tax liabilities. In the future, we may release valuation allowance and recognize certain deferred federal tax assets, deferred state tax assets or deferred tax assets of other foreign subsidiaries depending on achievement of future profitability in relevant jurisdictions, or implementing tax planning strategies that enable us to utilize deferred tax assets that would otherwise be unused. Any release of valuation allowance could have the effect of decreasing the income tax provision in the period the valuation allowance is released. We continue to monitor the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets, including those for which a valuation allowance is recorded. There can be no assurance that we will generate profits or implement tax strategies in future periods enabling us to fully realize our deferred tax assets. The timing of recording a valuation allowance or the reversal of such valuation allowance is subject to objective and subjective factors that cannot be readily predicted in advance. Adjustments could be required in the future if we conclude that it is more-likely-than-not that deferred tax assets are not recoverable. A provision for a valuation allowance could have the effect of increasing the income tax provision in the period the valuation allowance is provided.
Segment Operating Results
In connection with the Mergers, we re-evaluated our reportable segments. We concluded that we have two reportable segments: (1) Product and (2) IP Licensing. There are certain corporate overhead costs that are not allocated to these reportable segments because these operating amounts are not considered in evaluating the operating performance of our business segments.
Our Chief Executive Officer has been determined to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in consideration with the authoritative guidance on segment reporting.
The Product segment consists primarily of licensing our internally-developed audio, digital radio, imaging, edge-based machine learning and multi-channel video user experience (“UX”) solutions. Edge based machine learning, audio, digital radio, and imaging solutions include the delivery of software and/or hardware-based solutions to the Company’s consumer electronics (“CE”) customers, automotive manufacturers or their supply chain partners. UX products and services revenue is primarily
48
derived from multi-channel video service providers and CE manufacturers, licensing the TiVo service and selling TiVo-enabled devices, Personalized Content Discovery, enriched Metadata, viewership data and advertising .
The IP Licensing segment consists primarily of licensing our innovations to leading companies in the media and semiconductor industries. Licensing arrangements include access to one or more of our foundational patent portfolios and may also include access to some of our industry-leading technologies and proven know-how. In the media industry, our licensees include pay television (“Pay-TV”) providers, both in the United States and internationally, consumer electronics manufacturers and other providers of video experiences across various platforms, including over-the-top (OTT) video. In the semiconductor industry, our licensees include semiconductor manufacturers, fabless companies, foundries and packaging companies.
We do not identify or allocate assets by reportable segment, nor does the CODM evaluate reportable segments using discrete asset information. Reportable segments do not record inter-segment revenue and accordingly there are none to report. Although the CODM uses operating income to evaluate reportable segments, operating costs included in one segment may benefit other segments.

Unallocated operating expenses consist primarily of selling, general and administrative expenses, including administration, human resources, finance, information technology, corporate development and procurement. These expenses are not allocated because these amounts are not considered in evaluating the operating performance of the Company’s business segments.
The revenue and operating income (loss) amounts in this section have been presented on a basis consistent with U.S. GAAP applied at the segment level. Of our $846.9 million in goodwill at June 30, 2020, approximately $524.1 million was allocated to our Product reporting segment and approximately $322.8 million was allocated to our IP Licensing reporting segment.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the unallocated operating expenses were $68.3 million compared to $27.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase of $41.0 million was due principally to the inclusion of $29.4 million of TiVo expenses since the Mergers, legacy Xperi merger transaction costs of $11.1 million and legacy Xperi post-merger severance costs of $2.3 million, partially offset by a reduction in travel and entertainment expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the unallocated operating expenses were $105.0 million compared to $56.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase of $48.5 million was due principally to the inclusion of $29.4 million of TiVo expenses since the Mergers, legacy Xperi merger transaction costs of $14.2 million and legacy Xperi post-merger severance costs of $2.3 million.

Product revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $64.1 million as compared to $61.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $2.7 million. Product revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $120.1 million as compared to $106.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $14.1 million. The increases were primarily attributable to the inclusion of $30.2 million of TiVo product revenue since the Mergers, partially offset by lower minimum guarantee (“MG”) revenue due to the timing and duration of MG contracts up for renewal and executed during the first two quarters of 2020, and a decrease in royalty revenue from existing licensing arrangements. We anticipate Product revenue for 2020 will be higher than revenue for 2019 due principally to the additional product revenue from TiVo following the Mergers.
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $66.6 million, as compared to $46.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $19.8 million. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $112.8 million, as compared to $93.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $19.1. The increases were primarily due to the inclusion of $20.6 million of TiVo Product expenses since the Mergers and increased headcount and personnel costs in Perceive, partially offset by lower legacy Xperi amortization expense. The lower legacy Xperi amortization was attributable to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized over the past twelve months.
Operating loss in the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $2.4 million compared to operating income of $14.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019, with the variance due to the reasons stated above.
Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $7.3 million compared to operating income of $12.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, with the variance due to the reasons stated above.

IP Licensing revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $73.5 million as compared to $13.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $59.8 million. IP Licensing revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $135.2 million as compared to $25.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $109.5 million. The increases were primarily attributable to the inclusion of $22.7 million of TiVo IP Licensing revenue since the Mergers, a new IP Semiconductor patent and technology license agreement becoming effective in the second quarter of 2020, and an IP Semiconductor litigation settlement reached in March 2020. We anticipate IP Licensing revenue for 2020 will be higher than
50
revenue for 2019 due to the Merger s , and due to the new IP Semiconductor p atent and technology license agreement and the IP Semiconductor litigation settlement entered into during t he first two quarters of 2020 .
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $20.4 million, as compared to $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $11.0 million. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $30.7 million, as compared to $19.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $11.0. The increases were primarily due to the inclusion of $10.6 million of TiVo IP Licensing expenses since the Mergers.
In 2019 and in 2020 prior to the Mergers TiVo’s litigation expenses were significantly higher than Xperi’s litigation expenses in the same period. We expect that litigation expense will continue to be a material portion of our operating expenses and, as a result of the Mergers, will increase significantly in future periods. Litigation expense may fluctuate between periods because of planned or ongoing litigation, as described in Part II, Item 1 – Legal Proceedings, and because of litigation planned for or initiated from time to time in the future in order to enforce and protect our intellectual property and contract rights.
Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $53.1 million compared to operating income of $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, with the variance due to the reasons stated above.
Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $104.5 million compared to operating income of $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, with the variance due to the reasons stated above.

Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are our operating cash flows and our investment portfolio. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $199.6 million at June 30, 2020, an increase of $78.1 million from $121.5 million at December 31, 2019. This increase resulted primarily from $67.2 million in cash generated from operations, $1,011.3 million in net long-term debt proceeds received, and $117.4 million in cash acquired from TiVo as a result of the Mergers, which was partially offset by $20.2 million in dividends paid, $20.9 million in repurchases of common stock and $1,078.6 million in repayment of the combined legacy indebtedness of the companies. Cash and cash equivalents was $174.0 million at June 30, 2020, an increase of $99.4 million from $74.6 million at December 31, 2019.
Cash flows provided by operations were $67.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to our net loss of $4.3 million being adjusted for non-cash items of depreciation of $5.1 million, amortization of intangible assets of $54.6 million, stock-based compensation expense of $16.5 million, loss on debt extinguishment of $8.3 million and $11.3 million in changes in operating assets and liabilities. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of $28.9 million in deferred income taxes.
Cash flows provided by operations were $68.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to our net loss of $31.6 million being adjusted for non-cash items of depreciation of $3.4 million, amortization of intangible assets of $50.8 million, stock-based compensation expense of $14.8 million and $55.9 million in changes in operating assets and liabilities. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of $24.2 million in deferred income taxes.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $135.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily related to maturities and sales of securities of $20.7 million and net cash acquired in the Mergers of $117.4 million, partially offset by $1.9 million in capital expenditures.
51
Net cash used in investing activities was $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily related to the purchases of short-term available-for-sales securities of $22.7 million and $6.5 million in capital expenditures partially offset by maturities and sales of securities of $17.5 million .
Net cash used in financing activities was $103.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 principally due to $1,078.6 million in repayment of indebtedness, $20.2 million in dividends paid, and $20.9 million in repurchases of common stock, partially offset by $1,011.3 million in net long-term debt proceeds and $4.8 million in proceeds due to the issuance of common stock under our employee stock option programs and employee stock purchase plans.
Net cash used in financing activities was $120.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 principally due to $100.0 million in a partial pay-down of debt principal, $19.7 million in dividends paid and $4.3 million in repurchases of common stock, partially offset by $3.6 million in proceeds due to the issuance of common stock under our employee stock option programs and employee stock purchase plans.
The primary objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal and to maintain liquidity while at the same time capturing a market rate of return. To achieve these objectives, we maintain a diversified portfolio of securities including money market funds and debt securities including corporate bonds and notes, municipal bonds and notes, commercial paper, treasury and agency notes and bills and certificates of deposit. We invest excess cash predominantly in high-quality investment grade debt securities with less than three years to maturity. Our marketable debt securities are classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”) with credit losses recognized as a credit loss expense and non-credit related unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. The fair values for our securities are determined based on quoted market prices as of the valuation date and observable prices for similar assets. In the third quarter of 2018, we initiated an equity position in Onkyo Corporation (“Onkyo”), a publicly traded company listed on the JASDAQ market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Under Topic 321, we measure equity securities with readily determinable market value at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income (loss). On July 5, 2019, we sold approximately 2.8 million shares of Onkyo stock, and in June 2020, we sold the remaining 4.2 million shares of Onkyo stock and realized an insignificant amount of gain and approximately $0.7 million in loss on this investment in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
For AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, we first assess whether we intend to sell, or it is more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For AFS debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, we consider the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we did not recognize a provision for credit loss expense related to our AFS debt securities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we did not record any impairment charges related to our AFS debt securities.
On December 1, 2016, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”) which provided for a $600.0 million seven-year term B loan facility. The Term B Loan Facility was scheduled to mature on November 30, 2023. Upon the closing of the Credit Agreement, we borrowed $600.0 million under the Term B Loan facility. These proceeds were used on December 1, 2016, together with cash and cash equivalents, to finance the acquisition of DTS. The obligations under the Credit Agreement were guaranteed by substantially all of our assets pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated December 1, 2016, among us, RBC, as collateral agent, and the other pledgors party thereto. On January 23, 2018, we completed a repricing of our debt, reducing the borrowing rate by 75 basis points, and paid down $100.0 million in principal balance. During 2019, we made three voluntary principal payments totaling $150.0 million. Upon consummation of the Mergers on June 1, 2020, we repaid the full remaining balance of $344.0 million under the Credit Agreement. In addition, upon consummation of the Mergers on June 1, 2020, we repaid $734.6 million of assumed TiVo debt with the proceeds from a new borrowing of $1,050 million discussed below.
On June 1, 2020, in connection with the consummation of the Mergers, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2020 Credit Agreement”) by and among us, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent. The 2020 Credit Agreement provides for a five-year senior secured term loan B facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1,050 million (the “2020 Term B Loan Facility”). The interest rate applicable to loans outstanding under the 2020 Term B Loan Facility is equal to, at our option, either (i) a base rate plus a margin of 3.00% per annum or (ii) LIBOR plus a margin of 4.00% per annum. Commencing on September 30, 2020, the 2020 Term B Loan Facility will amortize in quarterly installments equal to (i) with respect to repayments occurring on or prior to June 1, 2023, 1.25% of the original principal amount of the
52
2020 Term B Loan Facility and (ii) with respect to repayments occurring after June 1, 2023 and prior to June 1, 2025, 1.875% of the original principal amount of the 2020 Term B Loan Facility, with the balance payable on the maturity date of the 2020 Term B Loan Facility (in each case subject to adjustment for prepayments). The 2020 Term B Loan Facility will mature on June 1, 2025. Upon the closing of the 2020 Credit Agreement, we borrowed $1,050 million under the 2020 Term B Loan Facility. Net proceeds were used on June 1, 2020, together with cash and cash equivalents, to repay existing indebtedness of the combined Company, including the aforementioned T erm B L oan F acility with RBC.
At June 30, 2020, $1,050.0 million was outstanding under the 2020 Term B Loan Facility with an interest rate, including amortization of debt issuance costs, of 4.8%. Interest is payable monthly and nominal principal payments are due quarterly effective September 2020. We have future minimum principal payments for our debt of $52.5 million annually through 2022, then $72.2 million and $78.8 million in 2023 and 2024, respectively, with the remaining principal balance due in 2025. We are obligated to pay a portion of excess cash flow on an annual basis beginning March 31, 2022 based on certain ratios and our excess cash flow generated for the immediately preceding fiscal year. The 2020 Term B Loan Facility contains customary covenants, and as of June 30, 2020 we were in full compliance with such covenants.
In August 2007, Xperi’s Board of Directors authorized a plan to repurchase Xperi’s outstanding shares of common stock dependent on market conditions, share price and other factors. This authorization was terminated upon closing of the Mergers. On June 12, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program (the “new plan”) providing for the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of our common stock dependent on market conditions, share price and other factors. In June 2020, we repurchased a total of approximately 1.1 million shares of common stock at an average price of $13.92 per share for a total cost of $15.0 million. As of June 30, 2020, the total remaining amount available for repurchase was $135.0 million. We may continue to execute authorized repurchases from time to time under the new plan.
In July 2020, our Board of Directors reviewed the Company’s expected capital allocation priorities and consequently authorized payment of a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share. We anticipate that all quarterly dividends will be paid out of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
From 2017 through the second quarter of 2020, we generated approximately $519 million of cash flows from operating activities. While we expect to continue to generate cash flows from operating activities for the remainder of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic presents significant uncertainties to the level of such cash flows as compared to prior years and as compared to our previous forecasts. Additionally, one-time costs in connection with the Mergers and subsequent integration of the two legacy businesses will impact operating cash flow for the duration of 2020. Currently a significant portion of our anticipated revenue for 2020 is derived from fixed-fee and minimum-guarantee arrangements, primarily from large, well-capitalized customers which we believe somewhat mitigates the risks to our business. We have taken actions to manage cash flows by reducing discretionary spending and other variable costs, delaying employee hiring, and closely monitoring receivables and payables.
We believe that based on current levels of operations and anticipated growth, our cash from operations, together with cash, cash equivalents and investments currently available, will be sufficient to fund our operations, debt service, dividends, stock repurchases and acquisition needs for at least the next twelve months. Poor financial results, unanticipated expenses, unanticipated acquisitions of technologies or businesses or unanticipated strategic investments could give rise to additional financing requirements sooner than we expect. There can be no assurance that equity or debt financing will be available when needed or, if available, that such financing will be on terms satisfactory to us and not dilutive to our then-current stockholders.

Our operating lease obligations represent aggregate future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable facility and equipment operating leases. For our facilities leases, rent expense charged to operations differs from rent paid because of scheduled rent increases. Rent expense is calculated by amortizing total rental payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term. See “Note 1 4 – Leases ” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information .
As of June 30, 2020, we had accrued $101.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits in long-term income taxes payable related to uncertain tax positions, which includes $1.9 million of accrued interest and penalties. At this time, we are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of the long-term payments or the amount by which the liability will increase or decrease over time. If we are successful in receiving our South Korean withholding tax refund of $98.4 million, net of foreign exchange loss, then $75.1 million of unrecognized tax benefit would be payable to the U.S. tax authorities. These amounts, which are included in our financial statements, have not been included in the table above.
Under certain other contractual arrangements, the Company may be obligated to pay up to approximately $10.9 million over an estimated period of approximately four years if certain milestones are achieved.
See “Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies ” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
