CAMPBELL, Calif., Feb. 19 /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 2008 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2008.
Financial Highlights:
-- FY08 revenue of $60.3 million, up 16% year-over-year excluding Dell
-- Ending cash balance of $20 million at December 31, 2008
-- Repurchased 200,000 shares of Rainmaker common stock in the fourth
quarter of 2008
-- Continuing stock buyback program
Rainmaker CEO Michael Silton commented, "The impact of the economic downturn is having a direct impact on our business as companies reduce their overall marketing spend and our clients' customers postpone or forego renewals of service contracts. We continue to win new business and expansions in all our product lines, reflecting continued demand for the unique value of our services, and see significant opportunities in our pipeline as we remain focused on executing for our clients. The pace of new business, however, has not been enough to offset the decline in revenue caused by the economic conditions we are all experiencing, and we may see further declines before things improve. We have taken significant steps to better align our cost structure with our goal of achieving positive cash flow in the first quarter of 2009. With our strong financial position and substantial base of industry leading customers, we believe that we are well positioned to weather this economic downturn and emerge stronger when conditions improve."
Total cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2008 were $20.0 million, compared with $23.2 million at September 30, 2008. Total debt at December 31st was $4.3 million, including $3 million from the Company's line of credit, which will be repaid over the next 36 months.
Rainmaker achieved fourth quarter net revenue of $13.4 million, compared to net revenue of $20.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $14.5 million in the third quarter of 2008. Excluding Dell, fourth quarter 2008 revenue was down 11% from the fourth quarter last year and down 7% from the preceding quarter. Revenue for 2008 was $66.3 million, compared to $73.5 million for 2007. Excluding Dell, revenue for 2008 was $60.3 million, up 16% from 2007.
Gross margin was 34% in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to 48% in the fourth quarter of 2007 and 34% in the third quarter of 2008. Fourth quarter 2008 gross margin includes costs of $212,000 related to severance and facility closure costs. Excluding these costs, gross margin in the fourth quarter would have been 36%. Gross margin for 2008 was 41%, compared to 48% in 2007. Gross margin for 2008 includes costs of $316,000 related to severance and facility closure costs.
GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $20.3 million, or a loss of $1.05 per share, compared to GAAP net income of $221,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2007, and a GAAP net loss of $6.1 million, or a loss of $0.32 per share, in the third quarter of 2008.

The non-cash goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge is based on a combination of factors, including the current economic environment and the Company's market valuation. Also included in Q408 GAAP net loss are severance costs of $565,000 and facility closure costs of $181,000 related to the Company's actions to reduce its cost structure.
GAAP net loss for 2008 was $30.6 million, or a loss of $1.58 per share, compared to GAAP net income of $1.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in 2007.

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, and amortization of purchased intangible assets. Additionally, non-GAAP net (loss)/income excludes facility closure costs relating to our vacating leased office space in Oakland and the Philippines, and one-time non-recurring charges for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, and a write-down of our minority investment in a privately-held company. 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 $583,000 for the three months ended December 31, 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 $711,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and related primarily to the prior acquisitions of Sunset Direct, Launch Project, Metrics Corp, ViewCentral, CAS Systems and Qinteraction. Facility closure costs were $181,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2008 and related to costs incurred in closing our Oakland office and costs incurred to vacate leased office space in the Philippines. Impairment charges for goodwill and other intangible assets were $13.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2008, and related to our annual impairment analysis of goodwill and other intangible assets performed in the 4th quarter in accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Write-down of the minority investment was $749,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2008, and related to the write-down of the carrying value of our investment in a privately-held company to its fair value at December 31, 2008. The tax effect of these adjustments was $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. See Exhibit A for a reconciliation of GAAP net (loss)/income to non-GAAP net (loss)/income.
Fourth quarter 2008 EBITDA was negative $3.7 million. EBITDA consists of net (loss)/income excluding interest income or expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and one-time non-recurring charges for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets. Provision for income taxes was $4,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Non-cash charges for depreciation of property and equipment was $1,324,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Non-cash charges for amortization of acquisition related intangibles were $711,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and related primarily to our prior business acquisitions. Non-cash charges related to the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired was approximately $13.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Interest and other expense was $771,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and related primarily to the write-down of the Company's minority investment in a private company, interest expense on the revolving line of credit and term loans and partially offset by interest earned on cash deposits. 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

(1) To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use
non-GAAP net 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 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 income is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for GAAP net 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 year ended
December 31, 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 and restricted share 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 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 our second 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 remaining lease
payments less the estimated lease rentals, net of any expenses associated
of approximately $227,000, and wrote-off the remaining net book value of
the leasehold improvements at this location of approximately $76,000. In
the quarter ended December 31, 2008, we recorded an additional $50,000
related to the additional rent due to the landlord from exercising an
early termination provision in the lease agreement. Additionally, in the
quarter ended December 31, 2008, the company decided to reduce the space
leased in Manila for our Philippine operations. We recorded a total
charge of approximately $130,000 which consisted of $72,000 related to an
early termination penalty and forfeiture of the security deposit as
specified in the lease agreement and approximately $58,000 related to the
write-off of the remaining book value of the leasehold improvements at
this location.
(6) In the 4th quarter of 2008, we performed our annual impairment
analysis of goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with SFAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Step 1 of the
impairment analysis determined that the carrying value of our Lead
Development and Rainmaker Asia reporting units at December 31, 2008 was
greater than their fair value, and that the goodwill relating to these
reporting units was impaired. Upon completion of Step 2 of the analysis,
we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of approximately $6.1 million on
the Lead Development reporting unit and approximately $5.4 million on the
Rainmaker Asia reporting unit. Additionally, we recorded an impairment
charge against our other finite-lived intangible assets of approximately
$1.1 million on the Lead Development reporting unit and approximately
$1.1 million on the Rainmaker Asia reporting unit. The impairment
evaluations for goodwill and other intangible assets included reasonable
and supportable assumptions and were based on estimates of projected
future cash flows. The goodwill and other intangible assets impairment
charge is non-cash in nature and does not affect our liquidity, cash
flows from operating activities, debt covenants, or have any impact on
future operations except that amortization expense will decrease going
forward.
(7) In the 4th quarter of 2008, our $1,250,000 short-term note receivable
from a privately owned company was automatically converted to 619,104
shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the company in accordance with the
calculation set forth in the note agreement. Due to an adverse change in
business climate, we performed a valuation during the 4th quarter to
determine the fair value of these shares and the warrant that was
received in connection with the original note agreement. The fair value
of the shares and warrant was approximately $740,000 at December 31, 2008
resulting in a write-down of $749,000 representing the difference in the
carrying value of the shares and warrant and their fair value at December
31, 2008. The impairment write-down of our investment in this privately
owned company is non-cash in nature and does not affect our liquidity,
cash flows from operating activities, debt covenants, or have any impact
on future operations.
(8) The tax effect of adjustments was calculated reflecting an effective
tax rate of 0.0% and 27.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2008
and 2007, respectively, and 0.0% and 27.1% in the twelve months ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

(1) To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use
EBITDA, which excludes certain cash and non-cash expenses. We believe
EBITDA provides 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
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.
(2) Included in interest and other expense/(income) for the three months
and year ended December 31, 2008 was a charge of approximately $749,000
related to the write-down of our minority investment in a private
