Campbell, Calif., March 25, 2013 – Rainmaker Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RMKR), a recognized technology leader in the rapidly emerging Cloud-Based B2B e-Commerce market, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.

Net revenue for 2012 was $25.4 million, compared to $26.4 million in 2011. Net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $5.2 million, compared to net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2011 of $7.1 million. Gross margin for the year ended 2012 improved sequentially to 43%, compared to 42% in the 2011 comparative period.

Net loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $921,000, or a net loss of $0.04 per share, compared with a net loss from continuing operations in the preceding quarter of $944,000, or a net loss of $0.03 per share, and a net loss from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2011 of $2 million, or a net loss of $0.07 per share. Net loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2012 included approximately $3.3 million attributable to the loss on the sale of discontinued operations in Manila.

Fourth quarter 2012 non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations, which excludes from net loss from continuing operations stock-based compensation expense of $202,000, amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions of $2,000, and a $484,000 favorable change in fair value of warrant liability, was $1.2 million, or a net loss of $0.04 per share, compared with a non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2011 of $1.7 million, or a net loss of $0.06 per share, which excludes from net loss from continuing operations stock-based compensation expense of $465,000, a $203,000 favorable change in fair value of warrant liability and amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions of $35,000. See Exhibit A for a reconciliation of GAAP net loss from continuing operations to non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations.

Non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations for the year ended 2012, which excludes from net loss from continuing operations stock-based compensation expense of $810,000, amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions of $87,000, and a $169,000 favorable change in fair value of warrant liability, was $3.2 million, or a net loss of $0.12 per share, compared with a 2011 non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $8.4 million, or a net loss of $0.33 per share, which excludes from net loss from continuing operations stock-based compensation expense of $2 million, a $298,000 favorable change in fair value of warrant liability, amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions of $229,000 and facility closure costs of $99,000. See Exhibit A for a reconciliation of GAAP net loss from continuing operations to non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations.

Fourth quarter 2012 adjusted EBITDA, which excludes non-cash stock compensation expense, was negative $589,000, compared with negative $1.3 million in the comparative period of 2011. See Exhibit B for a reconciliation of GAAP net loss from continuing operations to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.

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 non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, which excludes non-cash stock compensation expense from 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. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain expenses that management does not consider to be related to the Company's core operating performance.

Non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, EBITDA and adjusted 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 these non-GAAP measures 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 used these non-GAAP measures 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 analysis of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means to evaluate the Company's ongoing core operations.

Non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 and consists of net loss from continuing operations excluding stock based compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, loss on fair value re-measurement and change in fair value of warrant liability. Stock based compensation expense was $202,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and represents the current quarter recognition of compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock awards granted prior to and during the quarter. The change in fair value of warrant liability was a $484,000 gain for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and related to a reduction in the fair value of the common stock warrant liability. Amortization of intangible assets was $2,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. See Exhibit A for a reconciliation of GAAP net loss from continuing operations to non-GAAP net loss.

EBITDA was negative $791,000 for the fourth quarter of 2012. EBITDA consists of net loss from continuing operations excluding interest and other expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other non-cash items. Non-cash charges for depreciation of property and equipment were $414,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The change in fair value of warrant liability was a $484,000 gain for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and related to a reduction in the fair value of the common stock warrant liability. Interest and other expense was $82,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. We have income tax expense of $116,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. Non-cash charges for amortization of acquisition related intangibles were $2,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $589,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and adds back to EBITDA non-cash stock based compensation expense of $202,000 incurred in the fourth quarter of 2012. See Exhibit B for a reconciliation of GAAP net loss from continuing operations to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.

____________________________________

(1)

To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use non-GAAP net loss, which excludes from net loss from continuing operations certain business combination accounting entries and expenses related to acquisitions as well as other expenses including stock-based compensation, gain due to change in fair value of warrant liability and non-recurring items. As we have completed several acquisitions since 2005, we believe non-GAAP net loss 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 is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP net loss or GAAP net loss from continuing operations, and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(2)

We estimate the fair value of share based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model for option grants and our closing share price as reported on NASDAQ for restricted share grants. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods. Stock-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods.

(3)

We have excluded the effect of amortization of intangibles from our non-GAAP net loss. 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.

(4)

In the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded a gain in fair value of the warrant liability of $484,000 and $169,000, respectively, related to a reduction in the common stock warrant liability from the 2011 equity offering compared to the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011 in which we recorded gains of $203,000 and $298,000, respectively. In the year ended December 31, 2011, we recorded a loss on fair value re-measurement of $44,000 related to the change in the accrued estimated liability for the potential earnout from the acquisition of Optima.


(5)	In the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we recorded charges of $99,000 related to the closure of our Montreal facility, as we revised the estimated value of remaining lease payments net of the potential sublease proceeds.

To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use EBITDA, which excludes certain cash and non-cash expenses, and adjusted EBITDA, which excludes stock based compensation from EBITDA. We believe EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and are useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are 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 and adjusted EBITDA internally to manage our business and make operating decisions.
