All other trademarks remain the property of their respective owners, and unless otherwise specified, Rimini Street claims no affiliation, endorsement, or association with any such trademark holder or other companies referenced herein.
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 Recurring Revenue, Adjusted 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, Calculated Billings, Adjusted Calculated Billings, Remaining Performance Obligations and Adjusted Remaining Performance Obligations. In addition, we present certain financial metrics excluding our Oracle’s PeopleSoft software product offering to permit investors to see the operation of our continuing business, excluding reductions associated with the PeopleSoft wind down. 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. 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 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.
Adjusted Annualized Recurring Revenue is annualized recurring revenue adjusted to exclude subscription revenue associated with services for Oracle’s PeopleSoft software products recognized during a fiscal quarter and multiplied by four.
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 Income Taxes is the income tax effect adjusted to exclude: litigation costs and related recoveries, net, stock-based compensation expense and reorganization costs from income before income taxes.
Non-GAAP Net Income is net income adjusted to exclude: litigation costs and related recoveries, net, stock-based compensation expense and reorganization costs after taxes. These exclusions are discussed in further detail below.
Specifically, management excludes 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 litigation settlement, insurance and appeal recoveries relate to outside costs of litigation activities. These costs and recoveries reflect the 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 employee interests with those of our stockholders and to achieve long-term employee retention. As a result, stock-based compensation expense varies for reasons that are generally unrelated to operational decisions 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. In addition, it is also adjusted by unrealized foreign exchange (gains) or losses.
Calculated Billings represents the change in deferred revenue for the current period plus revenue for the current period.
Adjusted Calculated Billings is calculated billings adjusted to exclude the calculated billings associated with services for Oracle’s PeopleSoft software products.
Remaining Performance Obligations represent all future non-cancellable revenue under contract that has not yet been recognized as revenue, and includes deferred revenue and unbilled amounts.
Adjusted Remaining Performance Obligations is the Company's remaining performance obligations adjusted to exclude the remaining performance obligations for services for Oracle’s PeopleSoft software products.
Rule of 20 is achieved when the revenue growth percentage and adjusted EBITDA percentage of revenue equal 20% when added together.
