TiVo OS to Generate $190 Million in Annual Revenue by 2026, Xperi Predicts
Xperi had previously forecasted an annual run rate of around $140 million in two years from its still-nascent TVOS business
With its TiVo-branded smart TV operating system slowly proliferating across Europe, Xperi Corp. predicted Wednesday that the streaming platform business will yield it annual revenue of around $190 million in two years.
The forecast, rendered during Xperi's Q4 earnings report, upped a guidance issued a year ago suggesting the TVOS business would spin off an annual run rate of $140 million by 2026.
Xperi also predicted its video-over-broadband business for pay TV operators will reach $100 million in the same two-year span.

In its presentation to equity analysts Wednesday, Xperi also included forecasts for its in-car entertainment efforts.
TiVo is trying to build a modest beachhead in the video platform business dominated globally by Google, Amazon, Roku and Samsung.
