33、oration)(“Adeia”or the“Former Parent”)into Xperi Inc.(“we”,“our”,the“Company”or“Xperi”),a wholly owned subsidiary of Adeia,was completed.The Spin-Off was achieved through our Former Parents distribution(the“Distribution”)of 100%of the shares of Xperis common stock to holders of our Former Parents co
34、mmon stock as of the close of business on the record date of September 21,2022(the“Record Date”).Each Adeia stockholder of record received four shares of Xperi common stock for every ten shares of Adeia common stock held on the Record Date.Following the Distribution,we became an independent,publicly
35、-traded company with our common stock listed under the symbol“XPER”on the New York Stock Exchange(“NYSE”),and our Former Parent retains no ownership interest in Xperi.In connection with the Spin-Off,we entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement and several other agreements with our Former
36、Parent to effect the Spin-Off and provide a framework for our relationship with our Former Parent after the Spin-Off.In addition to the Separation and Distribution Agreement,the other principal agreements entered into with our Former Parent include a Tax Matters Agreement,a Transition Services Agree

42、rtunityConsumer preferences and behavior around media consumption are undergoing a significant transformation,driven by new platforms for content delivery,greater availability of diverse content,and an increase in time spent consuming video content.Video content delivery is rapidly shifting from lin
43、ear broadcast to over-the-top(“OTT”)platforms,impacting not just how users consume content,but also the ad-supported programming ecosystem.Our technologies sit on the forefront of this transformation,enhancing consumer experiences where consumers spend their time the most in their homes and in their
44、 cars.Our technologies not only enhance user experiences,but also enable partners across the entire ecosystem to participate in the evolving content delivery value chain.5Shift to OTT and Streaming:OTT has rapidly become a mainstream content delivery mechanism through a wide variety of providers suc
45、h as Netflix,Disney+and YouTube.OTT media now accounts for 38%of weekly video viewing for adults ages 18 and older.Proliferation of OTT has created demand for a new generation of entertainment products that are centered on the OTT viewing experience.Consumers are increasingly looking for solutions t
46、hat allow them to navigate across the fragmented and complex entertainment landscape of OTT content.OTT Advertising Monetization:The shift to OTT has not only impacted user needs for entertainment devices,but also disrupted the ad-based programming model that was centered on linear TV programming.Wh
47、ile delivering ad-based programming to OTT audiences has presented new challenges,it has also created opportunities for advertisers to deliver customized,highly relevant,and targeted ad content to a critical and growing demographic.There is a new set of industry participants that are looking for way
48、s to monetize the ad-based ecosystem,including consumer electronics manufacturers,OEMs,and others that have historically not participated in the OTT value chain.Thus,we believe there is a significant market opportunity for tools that enable OEMs to monetize their products through recurring revenue s
49、treams across the lifecycle of the device rather than just a one-time monetization opportunity at the point-of-sale.Marked Need for An Independent Media Platform:Close to half of Smart TVs each year are shipped into Western Europe and North America by leading electronics manufacturers who lack the s
50、cale required to support the technology,content,and monetization requirements of a streaming media platform.This creates a unique opportunity for an independent media platform that allows Smart TV OEMs to brand the experience,retain customer ownership,and participate in the long-term monetization th
51、roughout the typical 5-year lifecycle of TV ownership.Increasing Consumption of Video Content:Average weekly video viewing has increased 10%,from 40 hours per week in 2015 to 44 hours per week in 2020,driven by a number of factors,including increased availability of content catering to various consu
52、mer tastes and preferences,new platforms for consumption such as personal devices(e.g.,mobiles and tablets),and disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic.Consumers are increasing their spend on entertainment devices that deliver superior experiences and simplify the consumption of content across multipl
53、e platforms and devices.Omdia S.A.estimates revenues from the shipment of these platforms and devices in North America alone(including TVs,Smartphones,Tablets and PCs,Streaming Media Players,connected Blu-Rays players,and Video Game consoles)are expected to surpass$190 billion in 2023 and continue t
54、o grow by 3%year-over-year to 2025.Growing Connectivity in Cars and the Future of Semi-Autonomous and Autonomous Vehicles:As the automobile dashboard interface becomes more integral to the in-car experience,purchasing a car for its infotainment capabilities starts to move up the list of purchase con
55、siderations for car buyers.A McKinsey survey reported that 37%of consumers state they are eager to switch to cars with increased connectivity and nearly half of high-end auto consumers express an interest in exploring the digital capabilities of their new cars.Autonomous and semi-autonomous driving
56、technologies have made significant progress over the last several years and passenger cars are increasingly being fitted with autonomous driving features.If autonomous driving technologies become mainstream,the automobile will become a more common place for media consumption.Over time,we believe con
57、sumers will place significant importance on the quality of media delivery and will expect the quality of delivery in the car to be comparable to that of their living room.Increasing Use of“Smart”Devices:Consumers have long relied on smartphones enabled with virtual assistants,talk-to-text,and other
58、intelligent features,and increasingly want other home devices(as well as their automobiles)to be enabled with similar smart capabilities.“Smart”devices have created attractive opportunities to deliver personalized content discovery and highly differentiated experiences in the car,on par with consume
59、rs home media devices.New Use Cases for Edge AI Computing:Artificial intelligence and machine learning(“AI/ML”)based technologies are finding new use cases in consumer devices and technologies at a rapid rate.Similar to consumer reliance on smart phones,consumers increasingly expect their smart spea
60、kers,virtual assistants,security cameras,and other devices to learn user behavior and adapt to it.However,consumer privacy and data protection are critical features that limit the ability to transfer personal data from the device to the cloud for computing,and such transfers are further limited by c
61、hallenges such as low bandwidth and unreliable connectivity.AI/ML based technologies need to be built directly into consumer devices to address security and data concerns and deliver the experience users expect.The shift toward edge-based device capabilities is creating a potential opportunity for s
62、emiconductor components that are AI/ML capable,have low power requirements,and can be produced at reasonable cost.6StrategyOur business focuses on creating extraordinary experiences at home and on the go for millions of consumers around the world,elevating content and how audiences connect with it,i
63、n a way that is more intelligent,immersive,and personal:Pay-TV:We transform the traditional television user experience from linear multichannel video programming distributors(“MVPD”)with cloud-based DVRs into an immersive,intuitive,and hyper-personalized experience.Our iconic user experience,with en

123、ftware-as-a-service to consumer electronic OEMs and will include the right to monetize all or part of the end-user content engagement over the life of the product.For Tier 2 and Tier 3 Smart TV OEMs,TiVo OS will provide a platform to participate in the fast-growing connected TV monetization value ch
124、ain with scale and cross-platform end-user insight not available to OEMs on a standalone basis.Monetization-TiVo OSTiVo OS is primarily monetized through video or display advertisement impressions;subscription VOD,pay TV service bounties,and revenue shares;TV viewership data licensing;off-platform c
125、onnected TV ads;and other opportunities on device clients that connect to and leverage TiVo OS.As the platform scales,we expect to monetize through the following vehicles:Ad Supported Content:The sale of ad inventory on services,including our own TiVo+and certain third-party AVOD services.SVOD and M
126、VPD Services:Revenue shared by SVOD and virtual MVPD services on new user subscriptions activated or re-activated through our OS platform.Home Screen Ad Placements:Ad placements on the TiVo OS platforms home screen by streaming services,studios,and other consumer brands.Data Licensing:Revenue from a
127、dvertisers,advertising agencies,and networks to license data generated from TiVo platforms to inform their ad buying decisions.Off-Platform Ads:Household identifications taken from the TiVo OS platform and used to target other media sources.16Monetization TV Viewership Data We offer TV viewership da
128、ta with program airing data for millions of households.Broadcasters,MVPDs,content producers,advertising agencies and advertisers use our TV viewership data,alone or in combination with third-party data sources utilizing industry-leading data safe havens,to target promotions and advertising directly,
129、or through third-party viewer segments,to monetize their subscriber customer base.Monetization Advertising SolutionsWe provide advertisers with nationwide or regionally-targeted advertising on our various owned or operated devices.Advertisers place ads in a variety of display formats in both traditi
130、onal linear television and digital advertising for internet delivered content,seamlessly incorporated into the user interface.Using our Personalized Content Discovery platform,we also target content promotions as“paid search”by directly including the sponsored content in user interfaces recommended
131、content carousel.We work with service providers bundling their non-TiVo advertising inventory with our native inventory,thereby giving us a more significant national footprint.Growth FactorsThere are several facets of our product growth strategy.These growth drivers include:the delivery and monetiza
132、tion of the TiVo OS into Smart TVs,proliferation of in-cabin monitoring(AutoSense)and infotainment(AutoStage)solutions into the connected car market,increased adoption of our IPTV solutions in the Pay-TV market,and unit growth in consumer electronics from in-home Wi-Fi solutions(Play-Fi)and IMAX Enh
133、anced.We have a long track record of developing premium solutions for the marketplace that provide an extraordinary experience for end users.CompetitionPay-TVThere are a number of companies that produce and market advanced media solutions such as UXs,interactive program guides,DVRs,search,recommenda
134、tion,natural language voice,metadata,and advanced data and analytics in the various formats which compete,or we believe will compete,with our products and services over time.Principal competitive factors include brand recognition and awareness,product and service functionality,innovation,ease of use
135、,personalization,content access and availability,mobility and pricing.While we are competitive across this range of factors,we believe our primary competitive differentiation includes our ability to integrate all our products to create unique value for our customers.Our platform faces competition fr
136、om companies such as Synamedia,MediaKind,Kudelski,Enghouse Systems Limited,and from solutions developed by multiple system operators such as Comcast X1 and Liberty Global plcs Horizon Media,which have created competing products that provide user interface software for use on set-top-boxes and CE and
137、 mobile devices.Such companies may offer more economically attractive agreements to service providers and CE manufacturers by bundling multiple products together.We face competition for our Pay-TV product offerings from customers who choose to build their own interactive program guide and DVR soluti
138、ons.We believe that we provide a strong alternative to“do-it-yourself,”as we have innovative,high-quality products ready to be implemented,with local and network DVR,integrated data distribution infrastructure and content,as well as third-party services(such as VOD services).We differentiate our pro
139、ducts by continuing to integrate our broad portfolio of products into a suite of solutions and services for our customers.We believe our solutions speed our customers time to market,are superior to“do-it-yourself”products,and can be deployed at a lower cost than internally built products.In video me
140、tadata,we compete with other providers of entertainment-related content metadata such as Gracenote(a subsidiary of Nielsen Holdings plc)and Ericsson Groups Red Bee Media,as well as a number of local metadata providers.While we do not believe that our competitors metadata sets offer the same comprehe
141、nsive breadth of focus on media exploration,discovery,and management in as many regions of the world as we do,they present competition to our metadata business for each of their areas of focus.Consumer Electronics Our audio licensing products face competition from other third-party providers of simi
142、lar solutions as well as internal engineering and design groups among industry IC providers and consumer electronics manufacturers.17Our primary competitor is Dolby Laboratories,which develops and markets,among other things,high-definition audio products and services.Dolbys long-standing market posi
143、tion,brand,business relationships,resources and inclusion in various industry standards provide it with a strong competitive position.In addition to Dolby,we compete in specific product markets with companies such as Fraunhofer IIS and various other consumer electronics product manufacturers.Many of
144、 these competitors have a wide variety of strengths that afford them competitive advantages,such as longer operating histories,greater resources,greater name recognition,or the ability to offer their technologies for a lower price or for free.We have historically competed effectively against these c
145、ompanies due in part to our brand being a premium offering that contains superior proprietary technology,the quality of our customer service,our inclusion in industry standards and our industry relationships.Connected CarOur HD Radio and DTS AutoStage solutions face competition from subscription-bas
146、ed digital service providers such as Sirius/XM,Pandora,Gracenote,and other digital audio and data service providers.Our DTS AutoSense in-cabin monitoring technologies broadly compete with other image processing software vendors targeting the automotive industry,such as SmartEye and Seeing Machines,a
147、s well as engineering and design groups of tier one automotive suppliers that seek to provide similar technologies by employing different approaches with their internal teams.Media PlatformTV Audience Data.We collect and analyze audience research data in an area where companies such as comScore,Inc.
148、and Nielsen Holdings plc and other online data analytics companies compete for research spend from advertisers,advertising agencies and television networks.Other large companies are also focusing resources in this area including Comcast,Meta Platforms Inc.(Facebook)and Alphabet,Inc.s Google business
149、.Many of our existing customers are investing in platforms to enable their businesses with these capabilities.We believe that there is a significant opportunity for us as an independent data and technology provider,with proprietary access to critical data assets associated with consumers engagement
150、with entertainment media.TiVo Stream 4K.We compete against products with on-demand OTT streaming capabilities offered by internet CE manufacturers.For example,many CE manufacturers have television or internet-enabled streaming devices for accessing video over the internet such as Apple TV,Amazon Fir
151、e TV,Google Chromecast and Roku.TVs with integrated streaming capabilities from manufacturers such as Samsung,Vizio and LG also represent competition to the TiVo Stream 4K.TiVo OS.We compete for Smart TV platform support with companies such as Roku,Alphabet,Incs Google TV and Amazons FireTV.We belie
152、ve the overall OTT streaming market growth,our independent position,our differentiated end-user solution,and our more inclusive business model of sharing economics with Tier 2 and Tier 3 Smart TV OEMs represents an opportunity where we can establish a strong position.In approaching content owners,ad
153、vertisers and ad agencies to participate in the TiVo OS platform,we are competing with the same platforms and TV OEMs operating their own TV operating systems such as Samsung,Vizio and LG.In this fast-expanding connected TV advertising market,we believe our cross-platform data insight from Pay-TV an
154、d TiVo OS households will allow us to create and promote a unique and compelling offering for advertisers.Over time,we expect to see new competitors and other competing technologies emerge.Intellectual Property PortfolioWe operate in an industry in which innovation,investment in new ideas and protec
155、tion of our intellectual property rights are critical for success.We protect our innovations and inventions through a variety of means,including,but not limited to,applying for patent,copyright,and trademark protection domestically and internationally,and protecting our trade secrets.As of December
156、31,2022,we held approximately 753 United States issued patents and 185 patent applications,as well as approximately 984 foreign issued patents and 298 patent applications.The last of the issued patents to expire is in 2041.18Research&DevelopmentAs demonstrated by our portfolio of industry-recognized
157、,widely-deployed advanced technologies,we have a long track record of innovating in the fields of audio,imaging,and video discovery.We believe that ongoing investment in R&D is required for us to remain competitive in the markets we serve.Today,we have a collection of world-class talent and strong r
158、esearch and development capabilities in various locations throughout the world.Starting with core research,machine learning and advanced algorithm development,we continue to focus on next generation technology solutions.Our ongoing investment in R&D,supported by a strong industry network of partners
159、,enables us to deliver differentiated,cost-effective solutions that enhance the end-user experience for an ever-larger universe of addressable markets.Legislative and Regulatory ActionsA number of government and legislative initiatives have been enacted to encourage development and implementation of
160、 technologies that protect the rights and intellectual property of the content owners.For example,the United States and other countries have adopted certain laws,including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998(“DMCA”)and the European Copyright Directive,which are aimed at the prevention of co
161、ntent piracy and the manufacture and sale of products that circumvent copy protection technologies.Compatibility Between Cable Systems and CE EquipmentBeginning in 2003,the Federal Communications Commission(“FCC”)adopted regulations implementing an agreement between cable television system operators
162、 and CE manufacturers to facilitate the retail availability of so-called“plug and play”devices that use unidirectional CableCARDs,including digital televisions and other digital devices that enable subscribers to access cable television programming without the need for a set-top-box(STB)(but without
163、 the ability for consumers to use interactive content).In September 2020,the FCC eliminated rules requiring cable providers to support CableCARD.While the cable industry has continued to provide CableCARDs for third-party devices like ours,we cannot predict the ultimate impact of any new technical e
164、quipment regulations on our business and operations.Current FCC regulations no longer prohibit multi-channel video service providers from deploying navigation devices with combined security and non-security functions,and further developments with respect to these issues could impact the availability
165、 and/or demand for“plug and play”devices,particularly bi-directional devices and STBs,all of which could affect demand for UXs incorporated in STBs or CE devices.If the cable industry decided to cease providing CableCARD support for TiVo retail customers,recurring monthly retail services fees would
166、be affected as customers would be likely to cancel TiVo service on their devices.General Government RegulationWe are subject to a number of foreign and domestic laws and regulations that affect companies that import or export software and technology,such as the U.S.export control regulations as admi
167、nistered by the U.S.Department of Commerce.We are also subject to a number of foreign and domestic laws that affect companies conducting business on the internet.Laws relating to user privacy,freedom of expression,content,advertising,accessibility,network neutrality,information security and intellec
168、tual property rights are being debated and considered for adoption by many countries throughout the world.Each jurisdiction may enact different standards,which could impact our ability to deliver or monetize data,services or other solutions through the internet.In the United States,service providers
169、 have been subject to claims of defamation,libel,invasion of privacy and other data protection claims,torts,unlawful activity,copyright or trademark infringement,or other theories based on the nature and content of the materials searched and the ads posted or the content generated by users.In additi
170、on,several other federal laws could have an impact on our business.For example,the DMCA has provisions that limit,but do not eliminate,our liability for hosting or linking to third-party websites that include materials that infringe copyrights or other rights,so long as we comply with the statutory
171、requirements of this act.The Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act restricts the ability of service providers to collect information from minors and the Protection of Children from Sexual Predators Act of 1998 requires service providers to report evidence of violations of federal child pornography
172、 laws under certain circumstances.The privacy regulatory landscape has been changing rapidly,and we may become subject to new privacy or cybersecurity laws and regulations in the U.S.and internationally.Such laws and regulations could affect our ability to process personal data(in particular,our abi
173、lity to use certain data or personal information for purposes such as monetization,risk or fraud avoidance,and targeted marketing or advertising,or otherwise to provide data about the end-users and/or customers and their behavior),our 19ability to control our costs by using certain vendors or servic
174、e providers,or our ability to offer certain services in certain jurisdictions,which in turn could negatively affect our financial condition and business operations,and subject us to fines,penalties,or other liability.For example,the California Consumer Privacy Act,or CCPA,became effective on January
175、 1,2020.The CCPA created new individual privacy rights for consumers(as that word is broadly defined in the law)and placed increased privacy and security obligations on entities handling personal data of consumers or households.The CCPA requires covered businesses to provide new disclosures to Calif
176、ornia consumers,and allows for a new cause of action for data breaches.The CCPA also provides a consumer with the right to(i)opt out of certain sales of personal information,(ii)know the personal information that the business maintains about the consumer,and(iii)request deletion of personal informat
177、ion.It is unclear how the CCPA will be interpreted,but as currently written,it will likely impact our business activities and exemplifies the vulnerability of our business not only to cyber threats but also the evolving regulatory environment related to personal data.The CCPAs privacy measures were
178、amended and strengthened by the California Privacy Rights Act,or CPRA,which became effective on January 1,2023,with enforcement commencing on July 1,2023.The CPRA bolstered the consumer rights granted under CCPA and took the right to opt out of certain sales of personal information further to includ
179、e the right to opt out of the sharing of personal information.We are also subject to international laws(including but not limited to the European Unions General Data Protection Regulation)associated with data protection,privacy,and other aspects of our business in Europe,Asia,and elsewhere in the wo
180、rld,and the interpretation and application of data protection laws remains uncertain.Because our services are accessible worldwide,foreign jurisdictions may claim that we are required to comply with their laws.Further,the application of existing laws regulating or requiring licenses for certain busi
181、nesses of our advertisers can be unclear.Our operations in China may also be subject to privacy regulations.China passed the Personal Information Protection Law effective November 1,2021,which creates a comprehensive set of data privacy and security obligations that not only apply to the processing
182、of personal information within China,but also to the processing outside of China if such processing is for purposes of providing products and services to,or analyzing and evaluating the behavior of,individuals located in China.The law provides for various requirements on personal information protect
183、ion,including obligations of obtaining informed consent and limiting to the minimum scope necessary for the collection and processing of personal information,requirements for conducting a personal information protection impact assessment for certain data processing activities,and responsibilities fo
184、r adopting necessary measures to safeguard the security of the personal information.The law also requires a security assessment and regulatory approval,government certification and/or conclusion of a standard data transfer agreement with the overseas recipient before transferring personal informatio
185、n outside of China.Lastly,the law imposes significant fines of up to RMB 50 million(approx.$7.7 million)or 5%of annual revenue for violations of the law.Chinese data protection laws are still evolving and may impose additional restrictions on companies doing business in China.Our efforts to comply w
186、ith these laws and regulations may result in increased costs of doing business.Human Capital ResourcesThe opportunities for our success and growth depend in large part on our ability to attract,develop,and retain a talented and engaged workforce.In particular,we are competing for technical talent an
187、d we need to offer not only robust and attractive compensation packages but also provide broad opportunities for our employees to make an impact,grow,and develop.As of December 31,2022,we had a global talent base consisting of approximately 2,100 full-time employees.To enable our talent to actively
188、contribute to and have a positive impact on the overall business and culture,we have developed a set of programs and initiatives that include competitive compensation and benefits offerings,skills and management development,diversity and inclusion initiatives,goal and performance management,and succ
189、ession planning.In support of these efforts,our Board of Directors monitors these programs and initiatives and provides guidance and feedback as appropriate.Our goal is to provide a work environment that empowers our teams and enables them to enjoy a healthy and productive work-life balance for them
190、selves,their families,and their community.Our incentives are based on merit and we have a strong pay-for-performance culture.We benchmark our total rewards annually to ensure our compensation and benefit programs remain competitive with industry peers.Our compensation framework for employees reflect
191、s a combination of fixed and variable pay including base salary,bonuses,performance awards,and stock-based compensation.We offer employees benefits that vary by country and are designed to meet or exceed local laws and are competitive in the marketplace.We invest in the career growth of our employee
192、s by providing a wide range of development opportunities,including face-to-face,virtual,social and self-directed learning,mentoring,coaching,and external development.Annual assessments are performed to identify talent needs based on department goals and to evaluate how each function is positioned fr
193、om a talent perspective.We believe in the principles of a learning organization and strive to provide continuous educational opportunities 20for our employees.In 2020,we invested in a global online learning platform.More than 200 courses and programs have been created,offering a wide range of skill
194、development opportunities for employees to become more knowledgeable and effective in their roles.We also offer customized leadership and management development programs for our management teams.We leverage our manager ecosystem,coupled with industry-standard performance management tools,to align co
195、rporate goals with employee objectives.Employees are encouraged to create and align individual,functional and team-based goals,track performance against goals,write self-evaluations,and solicit feedback.We have demonstrated support and commitment to developing a culture of non-discrimination and emb
196、racing diversity,equity,and inclusion throughout our workforce.We have numerous employee resource groups(ERGs),employee-led,voluntary communities for groups that share similar backgrounds or identities.ERGs develop programming throughout the year supporting culture and belonging,encourage diversity,
197、and empower employees to achieve their personal and career goals.Our current employee resource groups represent the LGBTQ+community(PRIDE at Xperi),the Black community(Mahogany at Xperi,or MaX),women(Women in Tech,or WiT),and veterans(Veterans at Xperi,or VaX).We also have formed a Diversity,Equity
198、and Inclusion council comprised of all levels of employees and senior executives.The purpose of the council is,among other things,to identify and address issues of diversity,equity and inclusion through multiple and unique perspectives from a diverse group of our employees.In June 2020,we joined the
199、 business coalition in support of the Equality Act,a measure that supports federal legislation that would provide the same basic protections to LGBTQ+people as are provided to other protected groups under federal law.The Board of Directors believes that board diversity is important to serving the lo
200、ng-term interests of stockholders and takes diversity into consideration when identifying potential director candidates.We measure employee experience by collecting insight and understanding of engagement and satisfaction.We use an employee engagement survey,executive roundtables and employee focus
201、groups to solicit input.Task forces are regularly created to identify and address gaps,resulting in changes to policies and practices and benefits offerings.A recent survey to assess employee well-being during the initial work-from-home period related to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the payment
202、 of a working-from-home stipend to employees that covered certain costs associated with setting up home offices.None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement or are represented by a labor union.We have not experienced any organized work stoppages and we consider the relation
203、ships with our employees to be positive.Environmental,Social&Governance Xperi will publish its latest Environmental,Social and Governance(“ESG”)report in March 2023.Our report will be available on the Xperi website.Using insights from the development of our inaugural materiality assessment,we create
204、d our ESG program around three key focus areas:Culture and Belonging,Resilience,and Community Impact.As part of our Resilience pillar,we aim to be positive stewards of the environment.Climate change is one of the defining challenges facing our society today,and we are committed to doing our part to
205、address this challenge head on.In 2022,we conducted our first greenhouse gas(GHG)inventory of our Scope 1,2,and 3 emissions,establishing a baseline to understand our environmental impact.This will inform our goal-setting in the future as we work to address our carbon footprint.We have taken addition
206、al steps to reduce our impact through actions such as increasing energy efficiency within our office buildings,reducing the square footage of our office portfolio,and migrating the majority of on-premise IT assets towards more energy efficient solutions.Available InformationOur internet address is ,
207、where we make available,free of charge,our annual reports on Form 10-K,quarterly reports on Form 10-Q,current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those reports,as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with,or furnish it to,the SEC.Our SEC reports can be acce
208、ssed through the investor relations section of our website.The information found on our website and in our ESG report is not incorporated into this or any other report we file with or furnish to the SEC.21Item 1A.Risk FactorsAn investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk.Risk facto
209、rs that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations and that could negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations are summarized and set forth in detail below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.If any of these risks occur,our business,financial condi
210、tion,results of operations and future growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected.Under these circumstances,the trading price of our common stock could decline,and you may lose all or part of your investment.Further,additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently beli
211、eve are immaterial also may impair our business,operations,liquidity and stock price materially and adversely.You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties summarized and set forth in detail below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K before you decide to invest in our common
212、stock.Summary of Risk FactorsWe are providing the following summary of the risk factors contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to enhance the readability and accessibility of our risk factor disclosures.This summary does not address all the risks that we face.We encourage you to carefully revi
213、ew the full risk factors contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K in their entirety for additional information regarding the material factors that make an investment in our securities speculative or risky.The primary categories by which we classify risks include those related to:(i)our business,
214、(ii)financial matters,(iii)regulatory and legal matters,and(iv)ownership of our common stock.Set forth below within each of these categories is a summary of the principal factors that make an investment in our common stock speculative or risky.Risks Related to our Business OperationsWe may not be ab
215、le to develop and timely deliver innovative technologies and services in response to changes in our markets and industries.Our products and services face intense competition from various sources,and we may not be able to compete effectively.Our success depends,in part,on discretionary consumer and c
216、orporate spending,and factors such as unusually high levels of inflation and risk of recession in the near term could have an adverse effect on our business.We may not be able to manage our disparate business operations efficiently,which may lead to disposition of such business and related assets.Ou
217、r business depends,in part,on royalty-based and advertising-based revenue models,which are inherently risky.Our licensees may delay,refuse to or be unable to make payments to us due to financial difficulties or otherwise,or shift their licensed products to other companies to lower their royalties to
218、 us.It is difficult for us to verify royalty amounts owed to us under our licensing agreements,and this may cause us to lose revenue.Competition for employees is intense,and we may not be able to attract and retain the qualified and skilled employees needed to support our business.We face competitiv
219、e risks in the provision of entertainment offerings involving the distribution of digital content provided by third-party application and content providers through broadband.Our pursuit of acquisitions and divestitures may adversely affect our business operations or stock price if we cannot successf
220、ully execute our strategies.Our business and results of operations have been,and are expected to continue to be,impacted by the global COVID-19 pandemic and resulting macroeconomic factors.If we fail to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights,contract rights,or our confidential informat
221、ion,our business may suffer.We may not be able to protect our brand from third-party infringement or increase our brand awareness.Our business may suffer if third parties assert that our products or services violate their intellectual property rights.We may not be able to maintain enough content rel
222、eased in the DTS audio format,which may reduce demand for our technologies,products,and services.22Demand for our Connected Car technologies may be insufficient to sustain projected growth.If we are unable to further penetrate the streaming and downloadable content delivery markets and adapt our tec
223、hnologies for those markets,our royalties and ability to grow our business could be adversely impacted.The success of certain of our solutions depends on the interoperability of our technologies with consumer hardware devices.Our failure to adequately manage our increasingly complex distribution agr
224、eements,including licensing,development and engineering services,may cause unexpected delays and loss of revenue in the deployment of advanced television solutions.We make significant investments in new products and services that may not achieve technological feasibility or profitability or that may
225、 limit our growth.Our products and services could be susceptible to errors,defects,or unintended performance problems that could result in lost revenue,liability or delayed or limited market acceptance.Dependence on the cooperation of third parties for the provision and delivery of our metadata may
226、adversely affect our revenue.We depend on a limited number of third parties to design,manufacture,distribute and supply hardware devices upon which our TiVo software and service operate.We maintain inventories of TiVo-branded products based on our demand forecast,which may be incorrect and lead to e
227、xcess or insufficient inventory.Qualifying,certifying and supporting our technologies,products and services is time-consuming and expensive.We are exposed to the risks related to international sales and operations.Uncertainty and instability resulting from the war between Russia and Ukraine could ne
228、gatively impact our business,financial condition and operations.Further deterioration of trade relations between the United States and China,other trade conflicts and barriers,economic sanctions,and national security protection policies could limit or prevent existing or potential customers from doi
229、ng business with us.Our systems,networks and online business activities and those of third parties that we utilize in our operations are subject to cybersecurity and stability risks,information technology system failures,and security breaches.Some software we provide may be subject to“open source”li
230、censes,which may restrict how we use or distribute our software or require that we release the source code of certain products subject to those licenses.Risks Related to Financial MattersIf our goodwill and other intangible assets become impaired,we may be required to record a significant charge to
231、earnings.Changes in our tax rates or exposure to additional tax assessments may adversely affect our effective tax rates and negatively affect our business and financial condition.Risks Related to Regulatory and Legal MattersNew governmental regulations or new interpretations of existing laws,includ
232、ing legislative initiatives,could cause legal uncertainties and result in harm to our business.We need to safeguard the security and privacy of our customers confidential data and remain in compliance with laws that govern such data,and any inability to do so may harm our reputation and brand and ex
233、pose us to legal proceedings or investigations,fines,penalties,or other liability.Current and future governmental and industry standards may significantly limit our business opportunities.Our activities to advertise,market and sell our services directly to consumers are highly impacted by constantly
234、 evolving state and federal laws and regulations.23Risks Related to the SeparationWe may be unable to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve from our separation.If the Distribution,together with certain related transactions,were to fail to qualify for non-recognition treatment
235、 for U.S.federal income tax purposes,then we and our stockholders could be subject to significant tax liability.The Internal Revenue Service(“IRS”)may assert that the Mergers(as defined in“Item 7.Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”)cause the Distribu
236、tion and other related transactions to be taxable to our Former Parent,in which case we could be subject to significant indemnification liability.We are subject to continuing contingent tax-related liabilities of our Former Parent following the Distribution.We may be required to adjust our tax accou
237、nts if our Former Parent utilizes certain pre-Separation tax attributes.We agreed to numerous restrictions to preserve the tax-free treatment of the Distribution and certain related transactions in the United States,which may reduce our strategic and operating flexibility.Our historical financial in
238、formation may not be fully representative of the results we would have achieved as an independent,publicly-traded company and may not be a reliable indicator of our future results.We may not enjoy the same benefits of diversity,leverage and market reputation as a standalone company that we enjoyed a
239、s a part of our Former Parent.We assumed and are obligated to indemnify our Former Parent for certain liabilities.If we are required to make payments pursuant to these indemnities,we may need to divert cash to meet those obligations and our financial results could be negatively impacted.In addition,
240、our Former Parent assumed,and will be obligated to indemnify us for certain liabilities.These indemnities may not be sufficient to insure us against the full amount of liabilities for which we will be allocated responsibility,and our Former Parent may not be able to satisfy its indemnification oblig
241、ations in the future.The Separation and related transactions may expose us to potential liabilities arising out of state and federal fraudulent conveyance laws and legal distribution requirements.Our Former Parent may compete with us.We may have received better terms from unaffiliated third parties
242、than the terms we will receive in our agreements with our Former Parent.Risks Related to Ownership of our Common StockIf we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting,our ability to produce accurate financial statements could be impaired,which could increase our operating c
243、osts and affect our ability to operate our business.We cannot be certain that an active trading market for our common stock will be sustained and our stock price may fluctuate significantly.We cannot guarantee the timing,amount or payment of dividends,if any,on our common stock in the future.A stock
244、holders percentage of ownership in us may be diluted in the future.Certain provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws,Delaware law and in the Tax Matters Agreement may prevent or delay an acquisition of us,which could decrease the trading price of our common stock
245、.Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders,which could limit the ability of our stockholders to obtain a favora
246、ble judicial forum for disputes with us.For as long as we are an emerging growth company,we are not required to comply with certain requirements that apply to other public companies.24Risks Relating to Our Business OperationsWe may not be able to develop and timely deliver innovative technologies an
247、d services in response to changes in our markets and industries.The markets for our products,services and technologies are characterized by rapid change and technological evolution and obsolescence,new and improved product introduction,changing consumer demand,an increasingly competitive landscape,a
248、nd evolving industry standards.We will need to continue to expend considerable resources on research and development in the future in order to continue to design,deliver and enhance innovative audio,imaging,media,entertainment,and semiconductor products,services and technologies.The development of e
249、nhanced and new technologies,products,and services is a complex,costly and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation,highly skilled engineering and development personnel,and the accurate anticipation of technological and market trends.For example,we recently announced new design wins for
250、 TiVo OS,our embedded operating system,and DTS AutoSense,our in-car safety solution.If we fail to timely and successfully deliver these products to our customers,our future growth and profitability may be negatively impacted.Despite our efforts,we:may not receive significant revenue from our current
251、 research and development efforts for several years,if at all;cannot ensure that the level of funding and significant resources we are committing for investments in new products,services and technologies will be sufficient or result in successful new products,services or technologies;cannot ensure t
252、hat our newly developed products,services or technologies can be successfully protected as proprietary intellectual property rights or will not infringe the intellectual property rights of others;cannot ensure that any new products or services that we develop will achieve market acceptance;cannot pr
253、event our products,services and technologies from becoming obsolete due to rapid advancements in technology and changes in consumer preferences;cannot ensure that revenue from new products,services or technologies will offset any decline in revenue from our products,services and technologies which m
254、ay become obsolete;cannot ensure that our competitors and/or potential customers may not develop products,services or technologies similar to those developed by us,resulting in a reduction in the potential demand for our newly developed products,services or technologies;andmay not correctly identify
255、 new or changing market trends at an early enough stage to capitalize on market opportunities.Furthermore,the decision by a party dominant in the value chain to provide competing technologies at very low or no cost could cause our customers and other manufacturers not to utilize our technologies or
256、services.Our customers may choose to use technologies that their own in-house engineering teams have developed,or in which they have an interest.Accordingly,our revenue could decline if our customers choose not to incorporate our technologies in their products,or if they sell fewer products incorpor
257、ating our technologies.Our failure to successfully develop new and improved products,services and technologies,including as a result of any of the risks described above,may reduce our future growth and profitability and may adversely affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.
258、Our success depends,in part,on discretionary consumer and corporate spending and factors,such as unusually high levels of inflation and rising risk of recession in the near term,could have an adverse effect on our business.Our success depends,in part,on the level of discretionary consumer and corpor
259、ate spending.Discretionary consumer and corporate spending is affected by many factors,including economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income and corporate spending,such as the rate of inflation,risk of recession,employment status,and interest and tax rates.Recent trends including unusua
260、lly high inflation,increased perceived risk of recession and higher interest rates may negatively impact consumer and corporate spending.A decrease in discretionary consumer and corporate spending could result,in particular,in reduction in purchases of TVs,automobiles and consumer electronic devices
261、,and reduction in monetization revenue.During past economic slowdowns and recessions,many consumers reduced their discretionary spending and advertisers reduced their advertising expenditures.Any such reductions could significantly impact our ability to generate revenue,and thus impact our business,
262、financial condition and results of operations.25Our products and services face intense competition from various sources,and we may not be able to compete effectively.We expect that our technologies will continue to compete with technologies of internal design groups at competing companies or from ou
263、r customers.The internal design groups of these companies create their own audio,imaging,and media solutions.If these internal design groups introduce unique solutions superior to our technology,they may not need to license our technology.These groups may design technology that is less expensive to
264、implement or that enables products with higher performance or additional features.Many of these groups have substantially greater resources,greater financial strength and lower cost structures which may allow them to undercut our price.They also have the inherent advantage of access to internal corp
265、orate strategies,technology road maps and technical information.As a result,they may be able to bring alternative solutions to market more easily and quickly.We face competitive risks across all our business,including:our Media Platform faces significant competition from companies that produce and m
266、arket TV operating systems,program guides as well as television schedule information in a variety of formats,including passive and interactive on-screen electronic guide services,online listings,over the top applications and against customers and potential customers who choose to build their own TV
267、operating systems or interactive program guide;our advanced video solutions compete with other CE products and home entertainment services(such as Roku,AppleTV,Amazon FireTV and Chromecast)as well as products and service offerings built by other service providers or their suppliers for consumer spen
268、ding;our Smart TV solutions compete with other operating systems for Smart TVs,including TV manufacturers with their own in-house solutions(e.g.,Samsung with Tizen)or TV manufacturers that use competing third-party solutions(e.g.,Google TV).our Consumer Electronics and audio technologies compete wit
269、h other providers of audio products and services such as Dolby and Sonos,with Dolby being the primary competitor in high-definition audio processing and enjoying advantages in selling its digital multi-channel audio technology,having introduced such technology before we did and having achieved manda
270、tory standard status in product categories that we have not,including terrestrial digital TV broadcasts in the United States;our Connected Car technologies compete with internal design groups of automotive manufacturers and other automobile technology suppliers that provide similar technologies by e
271、mploying different approaches;our embedded image processing technologies compete with other image processing software vendors such as SmartEye,Seeing Machines and ArcSoft,Inc.,as well as internal design groups of automotive,mobile phone,and digital camera manufacturers;andour competitive position is
272、 affected by the rate of adoption and incorporation of our technologies by semiconductor manufacturers,assemblers,foundries,manufacturers of consumer and communication electronics,and the automotive and surveillance industry.In the future,our licensed technologies may also compete with other emergin
273、g technologies that may be less expensive and provide higher performance than our solutions.Companies with these competing technologies may also have greater resources.Technological change could render our technologies obsolete,and new,competitive technologies could emerge that achieve broad adoptio
274、n and adversely affect the use of our technologies and intellectual property.Some of our current or future competitors may have significantly greater financial,technical,marketing and other resources than we do,may enjoy greater brand recognition than we do,or may have more experience or advantages
275、than we have in the markets in which they compete.Further,many of the consumer hardware and software products that include our technologies also include technologies developed by our competitors.In order for us to remain competitive in this market,we must continue to invest significant resources in
276、innovation and product development in order to enhance our technologies and our existing products and services and introduce new high-quality technologies,products and services to meet the wide variety of such competitive pressures.Our ability to generate revenue from our business will suffer if we
277、fail to do so successfully.We may not be able to manage our disparate business operations efficiently,which may lead to disposition of such business and related assets.Our effort to rationalize our disparate business operations could require our management to refocus on certain business operations w
278、hile disinvesting in others.Additionally,as business strategy and product markets continue to evolve,we may dispose,discontinue,or divest product lines or business divisions.Disposing or discontinuing existing product lines or business 26divisions,or separating business units,provides no assurance t
279、hat operating expenses will be reduced or will not cause us to incur material charges associated with such decisions.Furthermore,the disposition or discontinuance of an existing product line or business division,or separation or spinoff of a business unit,entails various risks,including the risk of
280、not being able to obtain a purchaser,or,if obtained,that the purchase price may not be equal to at least the net asset book value for the product line or business unit,or the value that investors place on it as reflected by our stock price.Other risks of such actions include adversely affecting empl
281、oyee morale,managing the expectations of,and maintaining good relations with,customers of disposed or discontinued product lines or business divisions,which could prevent selling other products to them.We may also incur other significant liabilities and costs associated with disposal or discontinuan
282、ce of product lines or business divisions,or separation of business units,including employee severance costs,relocation expenses,and impairment of lease obligations and long-lived assets.The effects of such actions may adversely impact our business,financial condition and results of operations.Our b
283、usiness depends,in part,on royalty-based and advertising-based revenue models,which are inherently risky.Our business is dependent,in part,on future royalties and/or advertising revenues paid to us by customers and partners.Royalty payments under our licenses may be based upon,among other things,the
284、 number of subscribers for Pay-TV,a percent of net sales,a per-unit sold basis or a fixed monthly,quarterly or annual amount.Advertising-related revenue may be based upon,among other things,the number of viewers who watch a particular service,availability of inventory,advertiser interest and opportu
285、nities to personalize advertisements.We are dependent upon our ability to structure,negotiate and enforce agreements for the determination and payment of royalties and advertising-based revenue,as well as upon our customers and partners compliance with their agreements.We face risks inherent in roya
286、lty-based and/or advertising-based business models,many of which are outside of our control,such as the following:the number of subscribers our Pay-TV customers have or the number of set top boxes our Pay-TV customers provide to their end-user subscribers;the number of end users and time spent viewi
287、ng content and advertising available within devices that incorporate our licensed technology;the rate of adoption and incorporation of our technology by semiconductor manufacturers,assemblers,foundries,manufacturers of consumer and communication electronics,and the TV,automotive,consumer electronics
288、,and surveillance industries;the willingness and ability of suppliers to produce materials and equipment that support our licensed technology in a quantity sufficient to enable volume manufacturing;the willingness and ability of advertisers to use our advertising placements that are available via ou
289、r licensed technology;the willingness and ability of content owners and content aggregators to make their content available via our licensed technology;the willingness and ability of advertising technology partners to license their products and services to us for use in our licensed technology;abili
290、ty of our customers to purchase such materials and equipment on a cost-effective and timely basis;the length of the design cycle and the ability of us and our customers to successfully integrate certain of our technologies into integrated circuits;the demand for products that incorporate our license
291、d technology;the cyclicality of supply and demand for products using our licensed technology;the seasonal nature of advertising consumption and the associated variance to revenue based on those changes;the impact of economic downturns;andthe impact of poor financial performance of our customers.27Fo
292、r example,the ability to enjoy digital entertainment content downloaded or streamed over the internet has caused some consumers to elect to cancel their Pay-TV subscriptions.If our Pay-TV customers are unable to maintain their subscriber bases,the royalties they owe us will decline.Our licensees may
293、 delay,refuse to or be unable to make payments to us due to financial difficulties or otherwise,or shift their licensed products to other companies to lower their royalties to us.A number of our customers may face severe financial difficulties from time to time,which may result in their inability to
294、 make payments to us in a timely manner,or at all.In addition,we have had a history of,and we may in the future experience,customers that delay or refuse to make payments owed to us under license or settlement agreements.Our customers may also merge with or may shift the manufacture of licensed prod
295、ucts to companies that are not currently licensees of our technology.This could make the collection process complex,difficult and costly,which may adversely impact our business,financial condition,results of operations and cash flows.It is difficult for us to verify royalty amounts owed to us under
296、our licensing agreements,and this may cause us to lose revenue.The terms of our license agreements often require our customers to document their use of our technology and report related data to us on a quarterly basis.Although our license terms generally give us the right to audit books and records
297、of our customers to verify this information,audits can be expensive,time consuming,and may not be cost justified based on our understanding of our customers businesses,especially given the international nature of our customers.Our license compliance program audits certain customers to review the acc
298、uracy of the information contained in their royalty reports in an effort to decrease the likelihood that we will not receive the royalty to which we are entitled under the terms of our license agreements,but we cannot ensure that such audits will be effective to that end.Competition for employees is
299、 intense,and we may not be able to attract and retain the qualified and skilled employees needed to support our business.Our future success depends,in part,upon our ability to recruit and retain key management,technical,sales,marketing,finance,and other critical personnel.Competition for qualified m
300、anagement,technical and other personnel is intense,and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.If we fail to attract and retain qualified employees,including internationally,our ability to grow our business could be harmed.Competition for people with the specific skills t
301、hat we require is significant.In order to attract and retain personnel in a competitive marketplace,we believe that we must provide a competitive compensation package,including cash and equity-based compensation.Volatility in our stock price may from time to time adversely affect our ability to recr
302、uit or retain employees.If we are unable to hire and retain qualified employees,or conversely,if we fail to manage employee performance or reduce staffing levels when required by market conditions,our business,financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.We face competit
303、ive risks in the provision of entertainment offerings involving the distribution of digital content provided by third party application and content providers through broadband.We have previously launched access in certain of our products and services to the entertainment offerings of Amazon Prime Vi
304、deo,Netflix,Hulu Plus,HBO Max,Disney+,VUDU,Paramount+,Peacock,and others for the distribution of digital content directly to broadband-connected TiVo devices.These entertainment offerings typically involve no significant long-term commitments.We face competitive,technological and business risks in o
305、ur ongoing provision of entertainment offerings involving the distribution of digital content through broadband to consumer televisions with such offerings,including the availability of premium and high-definition content,as well as the speed and quality of the delivery of such content to partner de
306、vices.For instance,we face increased competition from a growing number of broadband-enabled devices from providers such as Roku,Apple TV,Amazon FireTV and Chromecast that provide broadband-delivered digital content directly to a consumers television connected to such a device.Additionally,we face co
307、mpetition from online content providers and other personal computer(“PC”)software providers who deliver digital content directly to a consumers PC,which in some cases may then be viewed on a consumers television.The TiVo OS solution faces competition from other Smart TV operating systems,as well as
308、non-Smart TVs that utilize broadband-enabled devices.If we are unable to provide a competitive entertainment offering on our own,or an equivalent offering with other third parties,the attractiveness of the TiVo service to new users would be harmed as consumers increasingly look for new ways to recei
309、ve and view digital content and our ability to retain and attract users would be harmed.Recent rapid transformation in licensing and distribution of digital content has made the industry less 28predictable and more volatile and if we are unable to adapt to developments in the space our business,fina
310、ncial condition and results of operations may be harmed.Our future success depends on our ability to establish and maintain licensing relationships with companies in related business fields,including:Pay-TV service providers;Operators of entertainment content distributors,including pay-per-view(“PPV
311、”)and video-on-demand(“VOD”)networks;TV OEMs and ODMs,CE,digital set-top hardware manufacturers,and personal computer manufacturers;TV main board manufacturers,and chip manufacturers;motion-picture studios,networks streaming partners(including content aggregators and SVOD,FAST,and AVOD providers),an
312、d other content providers;semiconductor and equipment manufacturers;content rights holders;retailers and advertisers and advertising technology partners;digital rights management suppliers;andinternet portals and other digital distribution companies.Substantially all of our license agreements are no
313、n-exclusive,and therefore our licensees are free to enter into similar agreements with third parties,including our competitors.Our licensees may develop or pursue alternative technologies either on their own or in collaboration with others,including our competitors.Some of our third-party license ar
314、rangements require that we license others technologies and/or integrate our solutions with others.In addition,we rely on third parties to report usage and volume information to us.Delays,errors or omissions in this information could harm our business.If these third parties choose not to support inte
315、gration efforts or delay the integration of our solutions,our business,financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.Relationships have historically played an important role in the entertainment industries that we serve.If we fail to maintain and strengthen these relationships,these
316、industry participants may not purchase and use our technologies or facilitate the adoption of our technologies,which will harm our business,financial condition,results of operations and prospects and may make it more difficult for us to enter into new markets.In addition,if major industry participan
317、ts form strategic relationships that exclude us,our business,financial condition,results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely affected.Our pursuit of acquisitions and divestures may adversely affect our business operations or stock price if we cannot successfully execute our str
318、ategies.We have made several acquisitions,domestically and internationally,and our current plan is to continue to acquire assets,technologies or companies that we believe are strategic to our future business.For example,on July 1,2022,we acquired Vewd Software Holdings Limited(“Vewd”),a leading glob
319、al provider of OTT and hybrid TV solutions,for approximately$103 million through a mixture of cash and debt(the“Vewd Acquisition”).Acquisitions,including the Vewd Acquisition,involve challenges in terms of successful integration of technologies,products,services and employees.We may not realize the
320、anticipated benefits of acquisitions we may complete in the future,and we may not be able to incorporate any acquired services,products or technologies with our existing operations,or integrate personnel from the acquired businesses,in which case our business,financial condition and results of opera
321、tions could be harmed.If our growth continues,it may place a significant strain on our management team and on our operational and financial systems,procedures,and controls.Our future success will depend,in part,upon the ability of our management team to manage any growth effectively,requiring our ma
322、nagement to:recruit,hire,and train additional personnel;implement and improve our operational and financial systems,procedures,and controls;maintain our cost structure at an appropriate level based on the royalties,revenue and cash we forecast and generate;29manage multiple concurrent development pr
323、ojects;andmanage operations in multiple time zones with different cultures and languages.Financing for future acquisitions may not be available on favorable terms,or at all.If we use our equity securities to fund the acquisition,it may result in significant dilution to our existing stockholders.If w
324、e identify an appropriate acquisition candidate for any of our businesses,we may not be able to negotiate the terms of the acquisition successfully,finance the acquisition or integrate the acquired business,products,service offerings,technologies or employees into our existing business and operation
325、s.Future acquisitions and divestitures may not be well-received by the investment community,which may cause the value of our stock to fall.We cannot ensure that we will be able to successfully complete any acquisition or divestiture in the future.Further,the terms of our indebtedness constrain our a
326、bility to make and finance additional acquisitions or divestitures.Our business and results of operations have been,and are expected to continue to be,impacted by the global COVID-19 pandemic.The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting macroeconomic effects have had,and may continue to have,an adverse i
327、mpact on our business.The impact to date has included periods of significant volatility in markets we serve,in particular the automotive and broad consumer electronics markets.Additionally,the pandemic has caused some challenges and delays in acquiring new customers and executing license renewals.Th
328、ese factors have negatively impacted our business,financial condition and results of operations,and may result in an impairment of our long-lived assets,including goodwill,increased credit losses and impairments of investments in other companies.Our operations and those of our customers have also be
329、en negatively impacted by certain trends arising from the COVID-19 pandemic,including labor market constraints,inflationary pressures,shortage of semiconductor components and manufacturing capacities,and delays in shipments,product development and product launches.Moreover,the COVID-19 pandemic,its
330、related macroeconomic impacts,and U.S.federal,state and foreign government policies enacted to combat the pandemic have contributed to a recent rise of inflation that may increase the cost of our operations and reduce demand for our products and services and those of our customers,which may adversel
331、y affect our business,financial condition and results of operations.Our per-unit and variable-fee based revenue will continue to be susceptible to the volatility,labor shortages,supply chain disruptions,microchip shortages,and potential market downturns precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic.The impa
332、ct of the pandemic on our overall business,financial condition and results of operations remains uncertain for the foreseeable future.If we fail to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights,contract rights,or our confidential information,our business may suffer.We rely primarily on a comb
333、ination of license,development and nondisclosure agreements and other contractual provisions,as well as patent,trademark,trade secret and copyright laws,to protect our technology and intellectual property.If we fail to protect our technology,intellectual property,or contract rights,our customers and others may seek to use our technology and intellectual property without the payment of license fees
