Q208 Revenue Excluding Dell of $17.1 Million, up 33% Year-over-Year and 11% Sequentially CAMPBELL, Calif., July 31
CAMPBELL, Calif., July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rainmaker Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMKR), a leading provider of sales and marketing solutions combining hosted application software and execution services, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.
Second Quarter Financial Highlights:
-- Revenue excluding Dell of $17.1 million, up 33% year-over-year and
   11% sequentially
-- Contract sales up 17% sequentially

Rainmaker achieved second quarter net revenue of $17.8 million, compared to net revenue of $18.0 million in the second quarter of 2007 and $20.6 million in the first quarter of 2008. Excluding Dell, second quarter revenue was $17.1 million, a 33% increase over revenue excluding Dell of $12.8 million for the second quarter of 2007 and an 11% sequential increase over revenue excluding Dell of $15.4 in the first quarter of 2008.
Gross margin was 42% in the second quarter of 2008, compared to 48% in the second quarter of 2007, and 49% in the first quarter of 2008.
GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2008 was $3.9 million, or a loss of $0.20 per share, compared to GAAP net income of $570,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2007, and GAAP net loss of $277,000, or a loss of $0.01 per share, in the first quarter of 2008.
Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2008 was $2.2 million, or a loss of $0.11 per share. Non-GAAP net loss excludes stock based compensation of $620,000, amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions of $823,000 and $303,000 in non-cash expense related to the closure of our Oakland, California office. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $1.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2007, and non-GAAP net income of $995,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2008.
Tax expense in the second quarter was $114,000, reflecting franchise tax for the state of Texas and foreign tax for Rainmaker subsidiaries.
Second quarter 2008 basic EPS results are based on 19.4 million weighted average shares outstanding and exclude options, warrants and unvested restricted share awards which are anti-dilutive.
Total shares outstanding at June 30, 2008 were approximately 20.5 million common shares, which includes approximately 1.1 million unvested restricted shares. In addition, Rainmaker had 2.8 million unexercised options and warrants with a weighted average exercise price of approximately $4.69 per share.
Total cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2008 were $24.5 million, compared with $33.6 million at March 31, 2008, with working capital at $22.6 million, compared to $25.5 at March 31, 2008. Total debt at June 30, 2008 was $1.3 million, or about 2% of total equity.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Rainmaker Systems' management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various performance measures. In addition to GAAP results, Rainmaker also considers adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share, which are referred to as non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share, and EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures are derived from the revenue generated by Rainmaker's business and the costs directly related to the generation of that revenue, such as costs of services, sales and marketing expenses, technology expenses and general and administrative expenses, that management considers in evaluating the Company's operating performance. Non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share and EBITDA exclude certain expenses that management does not consider to be related to the Company's core operating performance.
Non-GAAP net (loss)/income consists of net (loss)/income including an adjustment intended to reflect the full amount of revenue on assumed contracts in connection with acquisitions and excluding equity plan-related compensation expenses, amortization of purchased intangible assets and the impact recorded in the quarter related to closing of our Oakland office. For purposes of comparability across other periods and against other companies in our industry, non-GAAP net (loss)/income is adjusted by the amount of additional taxes that Rainmaker would accrue using an annualized effective tax rate applied to the non-GAAP results. Stock compensation adjustments were $620,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and related to option award and restricted stock awards granted since the adoption of FASB Statement No. 123R, Share Based Payments, in January 2006. Amortization of intangible assets was $823,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and related primarily to the prior acquisitions of Sunset Direct, Launch Project, Metrics Corp, ViewCentral, CAS Systems and Qinteraction. Oakland facility closure costs were $303,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and related primarily to accrual of the fair value of the remaining lease payments less estimated sub-lease rentals and the write off of the net book value of the remaining furniture, fixtures and equipment at this location. The tax effect of these adjustments was $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. See Exhibit A for a reconciliation of GAAP net (loss)/income to non-GAAP net (loss)/income.
Second quarter 2008 EBITDA was negative $2.0 million. EBITDA consists of net (loss)/income excluding interest income or expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Interest and other income was $186,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and related primarily to interest earned on cash deposits offset by interest expense on term loans. Provision for income taxes was $114,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Non-cash charges for depreciation of property and equipment was $1,126,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Non-cash charges for amortization of acquisition related intangibles were $823,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and related primarily to our prior business acquisitions. See Exhibit B for a reconciliation of GAAP net (loss)/income to EBITDA.
Non-GAAP net (loss)/income, non-GAAP net (loss)/income per share and EBITDA are supplemental measures of Rainmaker's performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Moreover, they should not be considered as an alternative to any performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity. Rainmaker presents non-GAAP net (loss)/income, non-GAAP net (loss)/income per share and EBITDA because management considers them to be important supplemental measures of Rainmaker's operating performance and profitability trends, and because management believes they give investors useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management. Rainmaker believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures provides consistency and comparability with Rainmaker's past financial reports and also facilitates comparisons with other companies in Rainmaker's industry, a number of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. Management has historically used non-GAAP net (loss)/income, non-GAAP net (loss)/income per share and EBITDA when evaluating operating performance because management believes that the inclusion or exclusion of the items described above provides an additional measure of the Company's core operating results and facilitates comparisons of the Company's core operating performance against prior periods and the Company's business model objectives. Rainmaker has chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform additional analyses of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means to evaluation of the Company's ongoing core operations.

Non-GAAP diluted net (loss)/income
 per share $(0.11)  $0.08   $(0.06)  $0.16
(1) To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use non-GAAP net (loss)/income, which excludes certain business combination accounting entries and expenses related to acquisitions as well as other expenses including stock-based compensation. As we have completed six acquisitions since January 1, 2005, we believe non-GAAP net (loss)/income provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company's ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. Non-GAAP net (loss)/income is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP net (loss)/income, and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
(2) Business combination accounting rules require us to record the fair value of contracts assumed in connection with acquisitions. The non-GAAP adjustment is intended to reflect the full amount of revenue on assumed contracts that would have otherwise been recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 which are related to our acquisitions of ViewCentral on September 15, 2006 and CAS Systems, Inc on January 25, 2007. We believe this adjustment is useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of our business because we have historically experienced high renewal rates on these types of contracts, although we cannot be sure that customers will renew these contracts.
(3) Stock-based compensation: We adopted FASB Statement No. 123R, "Share Based Payments", on January 1, 2006 under the modified prospective method. Statement 123R requires us to record non-cash operating expenses associated with stock option awards at their estimated fair values. Prior to our Statement 123R adoption, we recorded stock-based compensation expenses at intrinsic values. In accordance with the modified prospective method, our financial statements for periods prior to January 1, 2006 have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the changes in methodology to expense options at fair values in accordance with Statement 123R. Stock-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods.
(4) We have excluded the effect of amortization of intangibles from our non-GAAP net (loss)/income. We believe this helps investors understand a significant reason why our GAAP operating expenses increase following acquisitions. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to revenue earned during the period and will contribute to future revenue generation and should also note that these amortization expenses are recurring.
(5) During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, we closed our Oakland office and vacated the leased office space. In accordance with FASB Statement No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities", and FAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, we recorded a liability for the fair value of the remaining lease payments less the estimated sub-lease rentals of approximately $227,000 and wrote-off the net book value of the remaining furniture, fixtures and equipment at this location of approximately $76,000. This is a charge that represents the facility costs of closing this office.
(6) The tax effect of adjustments was calculated reflecting an effective tax rate of 0.0% and 18.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 0.0% and 18.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

EBITDA is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We regularly use EBITDA internally to manage our business and make operating decisions.
