PORTLAND, OR (June 3, 2014) - Rentrak Corporation (Nasdaq: RENT), the leader in precisely measuring movies and TV everywhere, today announced financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and full year ended March 31, 2014.
Fiscal 2014 Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Rentrak’s Pay Per Transaction® (PPT®) business is now reflected in its entirety as discontinued operations, as a result of the company’s plan to divest the PPT® business. All periods presented have been revised to reflect this presentation. Unless otherwise noted, all discussions in this press release relate to continuing operations.
Revenue increased 40 percent to $21.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, up from $15.4 million for the same period last year.

information businesses.
Gross margin improved to 66 percent of revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, compared with 61 percent for the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to revenue growth, particularly in the company’s TV Everywhere™ business.
“With 40 percent growth in our continuing operations, and 94 percent growth in our TV business, the fourth quarter was exceptional,” said Bill Livek, Rentrak’s Vice Chairman and CEO. “We surpassed revenue growth expectations in the majority of our business lines, our pipeline remains strong and our future opportunities are solid. We achieved our goals for Rentrak’s Home Entertainment business, which has generated over $100 million of cash flow since 2006, to help fund our high-growth, high-margin information businesses. We are on track to sell the PPT® business, as we focus our efforts on expanding the value and utilization of Rentrak’s measurement and information services.”
Operating expenses for the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter totaled $17.1 million, versus $12.0 million for the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter. The increase related to the contingent consideration associated with the company’s acquisition of iTVX in August 2013, as well as headcount increases and other operating costs to support the company’s revenue growth.

About Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Diluted EPS
From time to time, Rentrak may refer to Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Stock-based Compensation) and “non-GAAP diluted EPS” in its conference calls and discussions with investors and analysts in connection with the company’s reported historical financial results. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), is not derived in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered by the reader as an alternative to net income (the most comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA). Non-GAAP diluted EPS does not measure diluted EPS as defined by GAAP, is not derived in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered by the reader as an alternative to reported diluted EPS. The reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the three and twelve month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are included in the above table. Rentrak’s management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is helpful as an indicator of the current financial performance of the company and its capacity to operationally fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Due to the nature of the company’s internally-developed software policies and its use of stock-based compensation, Rentrak incurs significant non-cash charges for depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. Rentrak also adjusts for acquisition and non-recurring costs as Rentrak’s management believes this provides a useful metric by which to compare the performance from period to period. In addition, Rentrak’s management believes that these costs as well as stock-based compensation should be factored out of reported EPS in order to provide a more useful indicator of the current financial performance of the company. No tax rate was applied to these adjustments because the company has established a valuation reserve against its deferred tax assets. Due to the nature of the company’s equity and stock-based compensation plans and arrangements, costs associated with acquisitions and items which are considered nonrecurring in nature, the company’s diluted EPS, which includes these items, may not be indicative of its on-going operating performance.
