LAS VEGAS-Tuesday 13 November 2018 [ AETOS Wire ]Quarterly revenue of $62.6 million, up 17% year over year
Quarterly gross margin 64.5%
1,732 active clients at September 30, 2018, up 19% year over year
(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 financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2018.
“During the third quarter, we continued our stated plan to invest in global sales, marketing and service delivery capacity and capabilities in order to drive future revenue growth,” stated Seth A. Ravin, Rimini Street co-founder and CEO. “We also launched new marketing campaigns and our new ‘Business-Driven Roadmap’ sales strategy to address the large and growing market opportunity for enterprise software support. Additionally, we continued our global expansion and filled key leadership positions. Global demand for our services continued to be strong, with revenue outside the United States growing 32% year over year in the third quarter 2018 and representing 36% of total revenue in the quarter.”
“During the third quarter, we paid off and completed refinancing our former credit facility with a previously announced $140 million equity transaction, significantly reducing our total debt to approximately $3 million,” stated Tom Sabol, Rimini Street CFO. “The streamlined capital structure improves the balance sheet and lowers our cost of capital going forward.”
Third Quarter 2018 Financial Highlights
Revenue was $62.6 million for the third quarter of 2018, an increase of 17% compared to $53.6 million for the third quarter of 2017.
Annualized Subscription Revenue was approximately $250 million for the third quarter of 2018, an increase of 17% compared to $214 million for the third quarter of 2017.
Active Clients totaled 1,732 as of September 30, 2018, an increase of 19% compared to 1,459 as of September 30, 2017.
Revenue Retention Rate was 92.0% for the trailing 12 months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 94.5% for the comparable period ended September 30, 2017.
Gross Margin improved to 64.5% for the third quarter of 2018 compared to 62.5% for the third quarter of 2017.
Operating Income was $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2018 compared to Operating Income of $7.4 million for the third quarter of 2017. The change was the result of increased litigation costs and planned spending increases on sales and marketing since the Company is no longer constrained by financial and operating covenants in its former credit facility.
Non-GAAP Operating Income was $10.7 million for the third quarter of 2018 compared to Non-GAAP Operating Income of $8.9 million for the third quarter of 2017.
Net Loss for the third quarter of 2018 was $48.4 million, or a loss of $0.85 per basic and diluted share, compared to a Net Loss of $9.0 million, or a loss of $0.37 per basic and diluted share for the third quarter of 2017. The third quarter 2018 Net Loss was primarily due to a non-cash write-off of debt discount and issuance costs of $47.4 million related to the payoff and termination, on July 19, 2018, of the Company’s former credit facility.
Non-GAAP Net Income for the third quarter of 2018 was $6.7 million compared to a Non-GAAP Net Loss of $3.1 million for the third quarter of 2017.
Operating Cash Flow for the third quarter of 2018 was an outflow of $9.6 million, compared to an outflow of $4.4 million for the third quarter of 2017.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2018 was $10.8 million compared to $9.5 million for the third quarter of 2017.
Completed a $140 million offering of common and redeemable preferred stock on July 19, 2018, which resulted in repayment of all remaining outstanding obligations under the Company’s former credit facility totaling $132.8 million, consisting of principal, make-whole applicable premium, interest and fees.
Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures provided in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the financial tables included at the end of this press release. An explanation of these measures and how they are calculated is also included under the heading “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Certain Key Metrics.”

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, non-GAAP net income (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.
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 is operating income adjusted to exclude litigation costs and related recoveries, and stock-based compensation expense. These exclusions are discussed in further detail below.
Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) is net loss adjusted to exclude litigation costs and related recoveries, write-offs of debt discount and issuance costs and make-whole applicable premium incurred upon the payoff of our former credit facility, stock-based compensation expense, and gains and losses on changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives and redeemable warrants. These exclusions are discussed in further detail below.
We exclude the following items from our non-GAAP financial measures, as applicable, for the periods presented:
Litigation Costs and Related Recoveries: Litigation costs and related recoveries relate to outside legal costs, net of insurance recoveries for our litigation activities. These costs and related insurance recoveries relate to 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.
Extinguishment Charges: The write-off of debt discount and issuance costs and make-whole applicable premium incurred upon the payoff of our former credit facility are expenses associated with our debt financing structure. Therefore, we exclude them since they do not relate to our day-to-day operations or our core business of serving our clients.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense: Our 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.
Gains and Losses on Changes in Fair Value of Embedded Derivatives and Redeemable Warrants: Our former credit facility, which was terminated on July 19, 2018, included features that were determined to be embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation and accounting as separate financial instruments. Until October 2017, we also had redeemable warrants that were required to be carried at fair market value with changes in fair value resulting in gains and losses in our statement of operations. We have excluded the gains and losses related to the changes in fair value of embedded derivatives and redeemable warrants given the nature of the fair value requirements. We are not able to manage these amounts as part of our business operations nor are the gains and losses core to servicing our clients, so we have excluded them.
Other Debt Financing Expenses: Other debt financing expenses include non-cash write-offs (including write-offs due to payoff) and amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs under our former credit facility, and collateral monitoring and other fees payable in cash related to the credit facility. Since these amounts related to our debt financing structure, we exclude them since they do not relate to the day-to-day operations or our core business of serving our clients.
EBITDA is net loss adjusted to exclude interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense.
Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted to exclude litigation costs and related recoveries, stock-based compensation expense, gains and losses on changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives and redeemable warrants, and other debt financing expenses, as discussed above.
