SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Xperi Corporation (Nasdaq: XPER) (the "Company" or "we") today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

"During the second quarter, we continued to make progress on our financial goals for the year and our long-term targets. We delivered billings in line with our expectations and lower than expected operating expenses which generated $34.6 million in operating cash flow. In product licensing, we made significant progress around a number of strategic initiatives, including the expected commercial launch of DTS Connected Radio with a global automotive brand in 2019," said Jon Kirchner, chief executive officer of Xperi. "On the IP licensing side, several licensing discussions have progressed positively over the past quarter, we have added new engagements to the pipeline, and we believe we are well positioned to resolve at least one of our outstanding licensing discussions prior to the end of the year."

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.
