Fubotv earnings beat by $0.10, revenue topped estimates
Introduction & Market Context
Xperi (NASDAQ:ADEA) Inc (NASDAQ:XPER) presented its second quarter 2025 earnings results on August 6, showing a company in transition with declining overall revenue but improvements in profitability metrics and cash flow generation. The technology company, which provides solutions across media platforms, connected cars, pay TV, and consumer electronics, reported mixed results as it continues to shift focus toward growth initiatives while managing the decline in legacy businesses.
The company’s stock closed at $5.73 on the day of the earnings release, near its 52-week low of $5.69, reflecting ongoing investor concerns about its revenue trajectory. However, the positive cash flow developments and growth in strategic segments could signal a potential turning point.
Quarterly Performance Highlights
Xperi reported Q2 2025 revenue of $106 million, representing an 11% year-over-year decline from $120 million in Q2 2024. Despite the revenue drop, the company showed improvement in several key financial metrics, including a narrower GAAP net loss of $15 million (compared to $30 million in Q2 2024) and a GAAP loss per share of $0.32 (improved from $0.67).
As shown in the following comprehensive financial summary:
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA reached $15 million, representing 14% of revenue and a 4% year-over-year increase. The company also reported non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.11, slightly below the $0.12 reported in the same quarter last year.
One of the most significant improvements came in cash flow metrics. Xperi generated positive operating cash flow of $10 million in Q2 2025, a substantial $12 million improvement from Q2 2024. Free cash flow was $5 million, and the company ended the quarter with $95 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $7 million from the first quarter of 2025.
The detailed financial results, including both GAAP and non-GAAP figures, provide a comprehensive view of the company’s performance:
Segment Performance Analysis
Xperi’s revenue performance varied significantly across its business segments, with growth initiatives showing promise while traditional segments faced challenges. The following breakdown illustrates these divergent trends:
The IPTV segment was a standout performer, growing 24% year-over-year to $23.5 million, while the Media Platform segment increased 18% to $12.1 million. Consumer Electronics revenue grew 9% to $18.8 million.
However, these gains were offset by significant declines in Core Pay TV, which fell 37% to $26.4 million, and Connected Car, which decreased 20% to $25.1 million. These contrasting performances reflect Xperi’s ongoing transition from legacy businesses to growth initiatives.
The company categorizes its solutions into "Growth" and "Core" across different platforms, providing insight into its strategic focus:
Strategic Growth Initiatives
Xperi continues to focus on several key growth initiatives, with particular emphasis on the TiVo (NASDAQ:TIVO_old) One Ad Platform and IPTV solutions. The company reported having 3.7 million monthly active users on the TiVo One Ad Platform and has announced partnerships with 9 TV manufacturers across 40+ countries and 80+ television brands.
The TiVo One Ad Platform connects Smart TVs and set-top boxes into a cross-screen advertising platform, with Xperi positioning itself as an independent OS provider that doesn’t compete with its TV partners by making its own TVs.
For 2025, Xperi has set ambitious exit goals for its growth initiatives:
In the Pay TV segment, IPTV subscriber growth exceeded 30% across North America and Latin America, and the company has already surpassed its 2025 goal of 3 million global subscriber households. Xperi also signed multi-year renewals with large operators including Liberty Latin America and Cable One.
The Connected Car segment saw the signing of two new DTS AutoStage OEM programs, reaching over 12 million vehicles. New models launched include BMW (ETR:BMWG) 5-Series, Kia EV9, and Hyundai (OTC:HYMTF) Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 9.
Financial Outlook
Despite the revenue challenges in Q2, Xperi maintained its financial outlook for the full fiscal year 2025:
The company expects revenue between $440 million and $460 million for the full year, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 15% to 17%. Operating cash flow is projected to be neutral plus or minus $10 million.
This outlook suggests that Xperi anticipates continued progress in its strategic initiatives to offset ongoing declines in legacy businesses. The company’s focus on improving profitability and cash flow generation appears to be yielding results, even as overall revenue continues to face headwinds.
The Q2 results represent a mixed picture compared to Q1 2025, when the company reported revenue of $114 million (a 4% year-over-year decline) and adjusted EBITDA at 14% of revenue. The acceleration in revenue decline from Q1 to Q2 (4% to 11%) indicates continued challenges, but the improvement in cash flow from negative $22 million in Q1 to positive $10 million in Q2 represents a significant positive development.
As Xperi continues its transition toward growth initiatives, investors will be watching closely to see if the positive trends in profitability and cash flow can be sustained while the company works to stabilize and eventually grow its overall revenue.
