FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE |

XPERI CORPORATION announces THIRD quarter 2018 Results
San Jose, Calif. (November 7, 2018) – Xperi Corporation (Nasdaq: XPER) (the “Company” or “we”) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.
“During the third quarter, we delivered billings in line with our expectations and managed operating expenses below the low end of our range, resulting in better-than-expected profitability. In product licensing, we announced a significant strategic partnership with IMAX that significantly enhances our content ecosystem supporting growth opportunities in the home and mobile markets,” said Jon Kirchner, chief executive officer of Xperi. “On the Semiconductor and IP licensing side, interest in our hybrid bonding solutions is accelerating and we have now engaged multiple partners in evaluations of our DBI technology for memory applications including stacked DRAM and 3D NAND. We believe this technology is going to be widely deployed by the memory industry over the long term.”

Stock Repurchase Program
During the third quarter of 2018, the Company repurchased approximately 461 thousand shares of common stock for an aggregate amount of $7.2 million. These purchases were executed under the Company's stock repurchase program. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had approximately $106 million remaining under its current repurchase program.
Dividends
On September 6, 2018, the Company paid $9.8 million to stockholders of record on August 16, 2018, for the quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share of common stock.
Additionally, on October 25, 2018, the Board of Directors approved the quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share of common stock, payable on December 19, 2018, to stockholders of record on November 28, 2018.
Consequent with the introduction of the new revenue accounting standard, ASC 606, the Company announced it would begin using billings as a key measure of business progress. As a result, the Company’s outlook is now based on billings rather than GAAP revenue. For additional information regarding the Company’s approach to guidance, please review the “ASC 606 Business Metrics and Guidance Approach” presentation given by the Company on January 25, 2018, at http://investor.xperi.com/events.cfm.

Billings
Billings reflect amounts in an accounting period invoiced to customers, less any credits issued to or paid to customers, plus amounts due under certain licensing-related contractual arrangements that may not be subject to an invoice. Management evaluates the Company’s financial performance in part based on billings due to the close alignment between billings and cash receipts from licensing activity, and believes billings is an important metric to provide to readers of our financial results. Billings may vary materially from revenue recorded under U.S. GAAP.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Company’s earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures adjusted for either one-time or ongoing non-cash acquired intangibles amortization charges, acquired in-process research and development, all forms of stock-based compensation, restructuring and other related exit costs. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures used in this release provide investors with important perspectives into the Company’s ongoing business performance. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. All financial data is presented on a GAAP basis except where the Company indicates its presentation is on a non-GAAP basis.
Set forth below are reconciliations of the Company’s reported GAAP to non-GAAP financial metrics.
