Full fiscal year gross profit of 61%, up from 58% in 2016
Full fiscal year operating income of $22.0 million, up 58% year over year

LAS VEGAS-Saturday, March 17th 2018 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Rimini Street, Inc.
(Nasdaq:RMNI), a global provider of enterprise software products and
services, and the leading third-party support provider for Oracle and
SAP software products, today announced results for its fourth quarter
and full year ended December 31, 2017.
“The fourth
quarter was another record quarter for revenue and the 48th consecutive
quarter of revenue growth for Rimini Street,” stated Seth A. Ravin,
Rimini Street co-founder and CEO. “We continue to see a growing global
demand for our enterprise software support products and services, and
our current offerings cover an addressable market of more than $30
billion in annual IT services spend. With total annual global market
spend on software and maintenance services exceeding $160 billion, and
considering additional spend on IT services adjacencies, Rimini Street
sees a substantial opportunity for continued growth in the years ahead.
As the global leader for independent support and maintenance, we are
well-positioned to continue growth through additional sales and
marketing investments, as well as expansion into new countries, products
and services.”
“Revenue in
the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2017 exceeded the high end of
our guidance range, driven by continued growing global demand for our
products and services and operational execution in sales and service
delivery,” stated Tom Sabol,
Rimini Street CFO. “In addition to our focus on revenue growth and
gross profit expansion, we are also focused on the goals of reducing
total debt, reducing our cost of capital and improving free cash flows
in a way that will allow us to invest more in growth and eventually
achieve GAAP profitability.”
Litigation Developments
On January 8,
2018, the U.S. Appeals Court ruled favorably for Rimini Street. The
Court of Appeals reversed certain awards made in Oracle’s favor during
and after the Oracle v. Rimini Street trial in 2015, and vacated others,
including all claims and judgments against Mr. Ravin and an injunction
that had already been stayed by the appellate court. Rimini Street will
seek reimbursement for up to $50.3 million of the judgment previously
paid to Oracle. Rimini Street currently believes Oracle may refund
approximately $21.0 million in the second quarter of 2018, and the
Company currently expects the resolution of the remaining amount
sometime in 2018. Amounts refunded back to Rimini Street from Oracle
will be used to pay down outstanding debt under its credit facility.
After all appeals have been exhausted and after netting out all remand
and appeal costs, a portion of the proceeds received will need to be
refunded to the insurance company that paid a portion of the litigation
costs.
With respect
to the litigation Rimini Street has filed against Oracle (Rimini Street
v. Oracle), the Court has allowed us to proceed with our amended
complaint against Oracle asking for declaratory judgment of
non-infringement of copyright and to proceed with our claims against
Oracle of intentional interference with contractual relationships and
violation of California and Nevada unfair business practices statutes.
The case is not currently expected to go to trial until at least 2020.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Certain Key Metrics
To provide
investors and others with additional information regarding Rimini
Street’s results, we have disclosed the following non-GAAP financial
measures and certain key metrics. We have described below Active
Clients, Annualized Subscription Revenue and Revenue Retention Rate,
each of which is a key operational metric for our business. In addition,
we have disclosed the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP
operating income (loss), non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA.
Rimini Street has provided in the tables above a reconciliation of each
non-GAAP financial measure used in this earnings release to the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Due to a valuation allowance
for our deferred tax assets, there were no tax effects associated with
any of our non-GAAP adjustments. These non-GAAP financial measures are
also described below.
The primary
purpose of using non-GAAP measures is to provide supplemental
information that management believes may prove useful to investors and
to enable investors to evaluate our results in the same way management
does. We also present the non-GAAP financial measures because we believe
they assist investors in comparing our performance across reporting
periods on a consistent basis, as well as comparing our results against
the results of other companies, by excluding items that we do not
believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Specifically,
management uses these non-GAAP measures as measures of operating
performance; to prepare our annual operating budget; to allocate
resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; to
evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies; to provide
consistency and comparability with past financial performance; to
facilitate a comparison of our results with those of other companies,
many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement
their GAAP results; and in communications with our board of directors
concerning our financial performance. Investors should be aware however,
that not all companies define these non-GAAP measures consistently.
Active Client is
a distinct entity that purchases our services to support a specific
product, including a company, an educational or government institution,
or a business unit of a company. For example, we count as two separate
active clients when support for two different products is being provided
to the same entity. We believe that our ability to expand our active
clients is an indicator of the growth of our business, the success of
our sales and marketing activities, and the value that our services
bring to our clients.
Annualized Subscription Revenue
is the amount of subscription revenue recognized during a quarter and
multiplied by four. This gives us an indication of the revenue that can
be earned in the following 12-month period from our existing client base
assuming no cancellations or price changes occur during that period.
Subscription revenue excludes any non-recurring revenue, which has been
insignificant to date.
Revenue Retention Rate
is the actual subscription revenue (dollar-based) recognized over a
12-month period from customers that were clients on the day prior to the
start of such 12-month period, divided by our Annualized Subscription
Revenue as of the day prior to the start of the 12-month period.
Non-GAAP Operating Income (Loss)
is operating income adjusted to exclude: litigation costs, net of
related insurance adjustments, stock-based compensation expense, and
write-off of deferred financing costs. The exclusions are discussed in
further detail below.
Non-GAAP Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders
is net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders adjusted to
exclude: litigation costs, net of related insurance adjustments,
stock-based compensation expense, write-off of deferred financing costs,
gain (loss) on change in fair value of embedded derivatives and
redeemable warrants, net and deemed dividend for beneficial conversion
feature of RSI Preferred Stock.
Specifically,
management is excluding the following items from its non-GAAP financial
measures, as applicable, for the periods presented:
Litigation Costs, Net of Related Insurance Adjustments:
Litigation costs and the associated insurance recoveries and
adjustments to the deferred settlement liability relate to outside costs
on the litigation activities. These costs reflect the ongoing
litigation we are involved with, and do not relate to the day-to-day
operations or our core business of serving our clients.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense:
The Company’s compensation strategy includes the use of stock-based
compensation to attract and retain employees. This strategy is
principally aimed at aligning the employee interests with those of our
stockholders and to achieve long-term employee retention, rather than to
motivate or reward operational performance for any particular period.
As a result, stock-based compensation expense varies for reasons that
are generally unrelated to operational decisions and performance in any
particular period.
Write-off of Deferred Financing Costs:
The write-off of deferred financing costs relates to certain costs that
were expensed in 2016 because we determined that the arrangements
related to these costs would not result in future financings when we
completed our credit facility in June 2016. As such, these write-offs
are not related to how we manage our business and operational decisions
on an ongoing basis.
Gain (Loss) on Change in Fair Value of Embedded Derivatives and Redeemable Warrants, Net:
Our credit facility includes features that were determined to be
embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation and accounting as separate
financial instruments. We have determined to exclude the gains and
losses on embedded derivatives and redeemable warrants related to the
change in fair value of these instruments given the financial nature of
this fair value requirement. We are not able to manage these amounts as
part of our business operations nor are the costs core to servicing our
clients and have excluded them.
Deemed dividend for beneficial conversion feature of RSI Preferred Stock: Deemed
dividends reflecting the beneficial conversion feature are treated as
an increase in additional paid-in capital with a corresponding reduction
in additional paid-in capital. A beneficial conversion feature is a
non-detachable conversion feature that is “in the money” at the
commitment date, which requires recognition of a deemed dividend. We are
not able to manage these amounts as part of our business operations nor
are the costs core to servicing our clients and have excluded them.
EBITDA is net income (loss) adjusted to exclude: interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense.
Adjusted EBITDA
is EBITDA adjusted to exclude: litigation costs, net of related
insurance adjustments, stock-based compensation expense, write-off of
deferred financing costs, gain (loss) on change in fair value of
embedded derivatives and redeemable warrants, net, and other debt
financing expenses, as discussed above.
