Abstract
The 'BB-' corporate credit rating reflects Standard & Poor's Rating Services' expectation that Rovi Corp.'s strong operating performance will continue and its new product rollouts will improve its competitive position.

However, the company will be indirectly competing against several sizable firms including Netflix, Amazon, and iTunes. We consider Rovi's business risk profile as fair, based primarily on its good EBITDA margin and high barriers to entry, balanced by its narrow business platform and significant technology risk. We assess its financial risk profile as significant based on its somewhat high pro forma debt leverage. Rovi holds more than 4,700 issued
