LAS VEGAS, August 2, 2023 – Rimini Street, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMNI), a global provider of end-to-end enterprise software support, products and services, the leading third-party support provider for Oracle and SAP software, and a Salesforce and AWS partner, today announced financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
“For the second quarter of 2023, we were pleased to achieve the largest second quarter total sales invoicing in North American history, which we believe is one of several data points that indicate our updated sales and marketing go-to-market plan is continuing to gain traction. New client invoicing and pipeline improved sequentially and year over year, and we are seeing continued sales growth across our new, full product portfolio,” stated Seth A. Ravin, Rimini Street’s co-founder, president, CEO and chairman of the board. “As a global leader in production support for mission-critical systems, we continue to grow our workforce and capabilities to deliver our full solutions portfolio globally, backed by innovation and technology that provides additional leverage for increased profitability with growth. We believe our significantly expanded solutions portfolio will increase sales to new and existing clients, improve subscription renewals and extensions and expand lifetime contract value.”
“We had a solid quarter across nearly all of our key operating metrics,” stated Michael L. Perica, Rimini Street’s chief financial officer. “In addition to significantly increased net income compared to the prior year, we maintained a strong balance sheet with net cash at quarter end of $64.7 million. We also repurchased $1.0 million of our outstanding common shares in the quarter at an average price of $4.09 per share.”

Subsequent Event
In October 2014, the Company filed a lawsuit, Rimini Street Inc. v. Oracle Int’l Corp. (“Rimini II”) in U.S. District Court. Just days before the trial was set to begin in the Rimini II litigation, Oracle withdrew all its claims against Rimini Street and its CEO, Seth A. Ravin, for monetary relief of any kind under any legal theory in the litigation. Following trial in late 2022, on July 24, 2023, the District Court issued its findings of fact and conclusions of law in Rimini II, accompanied by a permanent injunction against the Company (the “Rimini II Injunction”).
The Company prevailed on a number of legal points including a significant portion of Oracle’s infringement claims and the U.S. District Court held that the pertinent software licenses do not prohibit Oracle’s customers from hiring a third party like Rimini Street to perform updates or fixes to the same extent the Oracle customer could themselves under the pertinent license. However, the Company respectfully disagrees with several other conclusions, findings, comments and rulings of the U.S. District Court and on July 25, 2023, the Company filed a notice of appeal of the Rimini II findings and conclusions of law and Rimini II Injunction and on July 28, 2023, filed an emergency motion to stay enforcement of the Rimini II Injunction pending results of the appeal. On July 30, 2023, the District Court issued an order setting an expedited briefing schedule for Rimini’s emergency stay motion, with Oracle’s response due by August 7, 2023, and the Company’s reply due by August 11, 2023.
The Rimini II Injunction is primarily directed at Oracle’s PeopleSoft software product. The Rimini II Injunction currently limits, but does not fully prohibit, the support services the Company can provide its clients using Oracle’s PeopleSoft software product. The percentage of revenue derived from support services the Company provides solely for Oracle’s PeopleSoft software product was approximately 8% of the Company’s total revenue during the fiscal second quarter of 2023.
For additional information and disclosures regarding the Company’s litigation with Oracle, please see our disclosures in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 2, 2023 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
2023 Business Outlook
The Company is providing third quarter 2023 revenue guidance to be in the range of $105.5 million to $107.5 million and suspending full year 2023 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance until there is more clarity around impacts from current litigation activity before the U.S. Federal courts in the Company’s litigation with Oracle (see “Subsequent Event” section).
Webcast and Conference Call Information
Rimini Street will host a conference call and webcast to discuss the second quarter 2023 results and select third quarter 2023 performance to date commentary at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time / 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time on August 2, 2023.

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 Annualized Recurring 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, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Billings. 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.
Billings represents the change in deferred revenue for the current period plus revenue for the current period.
Annualized Recurring Revenue is the amount of subscription revenue recognized during a fiscal 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 Recurring 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, net, stock-based compensation expense and reorganization costs. The exclusions are discussed in further detail below.
Non-GAAP Net Income is net income adjusted to exclude: litigation costs and related recoveries, net, stock-based compensation expense and reorganization costs. These exclusions are discussed in further detail below.
Specifically, management is excluding the following items from its non-GAAP financial measures, as applicable, for the periods presented:
Litigation Costs and Related Recoveries, Net: Litigation costs and the associated insurance and appeal recoveries relate to outside costs of litigation activities. These costs and recoveries 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: 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.
Reorganization Costs: The costs consist primarily of severance costs associated with the Company’s reorganization plan.
EBITDA is net income adjusted to exclude: interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense.
Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted to exclude: litigation costs and related recoveries, net, stock-based compensation expense and reorganization costs, as discussed above.
