“During this unprecedented time, we remain focused on the health
and well-being of our employees and partners who continue to serve
our global network of customers,” said LiveRamp CEO Scott Howe.
“Now more than ever, it is important for brands to remain close to
their customers and to demonstrate that their marketing investments
are driving real results and returns. LiveRamp plays a critical
role in enabling enterprise marketers to spend smarter. Our product
suite, and in particular the Authenticated Traffic Solution® (or
ATS), Safe Haven® and Advanced TV products, ensure every marketing
dollar spent is addressable, accountable and measurable.”
“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the entire
LiveRamp team for the resiliency and exceptionalism they have
demonstrated during this period,” added Howe. “In times of
adversity, the true character of a team emerges, and I could not be
more proud to lead this incredible group of people.”
COVID-19 Business Update
“LiveRamp, along with most companies, is being impacted by the
COVID-19 crisis. That said, we are fortunate to be operating from a
position of strength,” said LiveRamp President and CFO Warren
Jenson. “In addition to our robust balance sheet, we have great
customers, dedicated employees, a subscription business model and
products that benefit from the secular wave toward outcome-based
marketing and advertising. However, we are watching and monitoring
our business closely, and in particular, usage trends and our Data
Marketplace.”
LiveRamp has taken proactive steps to keep its employees safe
and global customer base serviced during these unprecedented
times:
- In early March, LiveRamp, in coordination with local government
guidance, began implementing its Pandemic Plan for staged movement
to work from home in order to protect its workforce. The vast
majority of LiveRamp’s global employees have seamlessly
transitioned to working remotely.
- Given the SaaS nature of its model, LiveRamp does not depend on
any on-premise components or personnel for the products and
services it provides. LiveRamp is, however, dependent on its cloud
infrastructure and the ability for its workforce to work remotely.
To date, service to customers and partners has continued
uninterrupted.
- LiveRamp’s balance sheet remains exceptionally strong, with
over $700 million of cash and no debt at year-end. The company is
carefully managing working capital, tightening its hiring practices
and reducing costs where appropriate.
- The company increased its reserves for bad debts during the
fourth quarter by approximately $3.5 million in response to
increased future collection risk associated with certain customer
segments.

- During the fourth quarter, subscription net retention was
approximately 110%. Platform net retention was 122% driven by

Board of Directors Update
LiveRamp also announced today that William T. Dillard II is
retiring from the LiveRamp Board of Directors when his current term
ends at the next annual meeting of shareholders, expected to be
held in August 2020. Mr. Dillard has been a trusted advisor during
the company’s evolution.
“Bill’s guidance has been invaluable to LiveRamp, and I want to
personally thank him for his decades of service to the company.
Bill has brought a strong customer perspective plus a wealth of
executive experience to LiveRamp. He was instrumental in
transforming the company into a category-creating software
business. Both the board and the leadership team are deeply
appreciative of Bill’s long service to LiveRamp,” said Scott
Howe.

economic environment, LiveRamp is providing first quarter guidance

stock compensation, purchased intangible asset amortization, and
restructuring and related charges.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2021, LiveRamp expects to
report:
- Revenue of approximately $88 million, an increase of
approximately 7% year-over-year.
- GAAP operating loss from continuing operations of up to $47
million.
- Non-GAAP operating loss of up to $12 million.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, as amended (the “PSLRA”). These statements, which are not
statements of historical fact, may contain estimates, assumptions,
projections and/or expectations regarding the Company’s financial
position, results of operations, market position, product
development, growth opportunities, economic conditions, and other
similar forecasts and statements of expectation. Forward-looking
statements are often identified by words or phrases such as
“anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,”
“foresee,” or the negative of these terms or other similar
variations thereof.
These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and are subject to a number of factors and
uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results and
experiences to differ materially from the anticipated results and
expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements.
Among the factors that may cause actual results and expectations
to differ from anticipated results and expectations expressed in
forward-looking statements are uncertainties related to COVID-19
and the associated impact on suppliers and customers; the Company’s
dependence upon customer renewals; new customer additions and
upsell within our subscription business; our reliance upon partners
including data suppliers; competition; and attracting and retaining
talent. Additional risks relate to maintaining our culture and our
ability to innovate and evolve while working remotely and within a
rapidly changing industry, while also avoiding disruption from
acquisition and divestiture activities. Our international
operations are also subject to risks that may harm the Company’s
business. The risk of a significant breach of the confidentiality
of the information or the security of our or our customers’,
suppliers’, or other partners’ computer systems could be
detrimental to our business, reputation and results of operations.
Other business risks include unfavorable publicity and negative
public perception about our industry; interruptions or delays in
service from data center hosting vendors we rely upon; and our
dependence on the continued availability of third-party data
hosting and transmission services. Our clients’ ability to use data
on our platform could be restricted if the industry’s use of
third-party cookies and tracking technology declines due to
technology platform changes, regulation or increased user controls.
Changes in regulations relating to information collection and use
represents a risk, as well as changes in tax laws and regulations
that are applied to our customers which could cause enterprise
software budget tightening. In addition, third parties may claim
that we are infringing their intellectual property or may infringe
our intellectual property which could result in competitive injury
and / or the incurrence of significant costs and draining of our
resources.
For a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties,
please refer to LiveRamp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for our
fiscal year 2019 ended March 31, 2019, and LiveRamp's Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q issued in fiscal year 2020.
The financial information set forth in this press release
reflects estimates based on information available at this time.
These amounts could differ from actual reported amounts stated in
LiveRamp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended March
31, 2020, which LiveRamp expects to file by end of May 2020.
LiveRamp assumes no obligation and does not currently intend to
update these forward-looking statements.

(1) This presentation includes non-GAAP
measures. Our non-GAAP measures 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 condensed consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. For a
detailed explanation of the adjustments made to comparable GAAP
measures, the reasons why management uses these measures and the
material limitations on the usefulness of these measures, please
see Appendix A.
(2) Income taxes were calculated using an
effective non-GAAP tax rate of 77.6% and 36.5% in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 23.6% and 37.1%
for the twelve months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The difference between our GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates were
primarily due to the net tax effects of the excluded items.

APPENDIX A
LIVERAMP HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Q4
FISCAL 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS EXPLANATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES AND
OTHER KEY METRICS
To supplement our financial results, we use non-GAAP measures
which exclude certain acquisition related expenses, non-cash stock
compensation and restructuring charges. We believe these measures
are helpful in understanding our past performance and our future
results. Our non-GAAP financial measures and schedules 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 GAAP financial statements. Our management
regularly uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to
understand, manage and evaluate our business and to make operating
decisions. These measures are among the primary factors management
uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation
of our executives is also based in part on the performance of our
business based on these non-GAAP measures.
Our non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP earnings per
share, income from operations and adjusted EBITDA reflect
adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related
income tax effects when applicable:
Purchased intangible asset
amortization: We incur amortization of purchased intangibles
in connection with our acquisitions. Purchased intangibles include
(i) developed technology, (ii) customer and publisher
relationships, and (iii) trade names. We expect to amortize for
accounting purposes the fair value of the purchased intangibles
based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the
intangible assets will be consumed as revenue is generated.
Although the intangible assets generate revenue for us, we exclude
this item because this expense is non-cash in nature and because we
believe the non-GAAP financial measures excluding this item provide
meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational
performance.
Non-cash stock compensation:
Non-cash stock compensation consists of charges for associate
restricted stock units, performance shares and stock options in
accordance with current GAAP related to stock-based compensation
including expense associated with stock-based compensation related
to unvested options assumed in connection with our acquisitions. As
we apply stock-based compensation standards, we believe that it is
useful to investors to understand the impact of the application of
these standards to our operational performance. Although
stock-based compensation expense is calculated in accordance with
current GAAP and constitutes an ongoing and recurring expense, such
expense is excluded from non-GAAP results because it is not an
expense that typically requires or will require cash settlement by
us and because such expense is not used by us to assess the core
profitability of our business operations.
Restructuring charges: During the
past several years, we have initiated certain restructuring
activities in order to align our costs in connection with both our
operating plans and our business strategies based on then-current
economic conditions. As a result, we recognized costs related to
termination benefits for associates whose positions were
eliminated, lease and other contract termination charges, and
leasehold improvement write offs. These items, reported as gains,
losses, and other items, net, are excluded from non-GAAP results
because such amounts are not used by us to assess the core
profitability of our business operations.
Separation and transformation
costs: In prior years, we incurred transaction support
expenses and system separation costs related to the Company's
announced evaluation of strategic options for its Marketing
Solutions (AMS) business. Our criteria for excluding separation and
transformation expenses from our non-GAAP measures is as follows:
1) projects are discrete in nature; 2) excluded expenses consist
only of third-party consulting fees that we would not incur
otherwise; and 3) we do not exclude employee related expenses or
other costs associated with the ongoing operations of our business.
We believe excluding these items from our non-GAAP financial
measures is useful for investors and provides meaningful
supplemental information.
Accelerated depreciation: In the
prior and current year we are excluding depreciation costs
associated with the reduced useful life of certain IT equipment in
connection with the Company's migration to a cloud-based data
center solution. This migration is part of our AMS separation
strategy. These costs are excluded from our non-GAAP results
because of the short-term nature of the incremental expenses and
such amounts are not used by us to assess the core profitability of
our business operations.
Other key metrics may be defined as:
Subscription net retention: The
current quarter subscription revenue (net) from customers who have
been on the platform for one year or more, divided by the prior
year quarter subscription revenue (net), inclusive of upsell, churn
and downsell.
Platform net retention: The current
quarter subscription and marketplace revenue (net) from customers
who have been on the platform for one year or more, divided by the
prior year quarter subscription and marketplace revenue (net),
inclusive of upsell, churn and downsell.
Annualized recurring revenue (ARR):
The monthly recurring revenue (last month of quarter), annualized.
Recurring revenue is fixed and contracted subscription revenue and
does not include any variable or non-recurring revenue amounts.
Our non-GAAP financial schedules are:
Non-GAAP EPS, Non-GAAP Income from
Operations, and Non-GAAP Expenses and Gross Profit: Our
Non-GAAP earnings per share, Non-GAAP income from operations, and
Non-GAAP expenses and Gross Profit reflect adjustments as described
above, as well as the related tax effects where applicable.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is
defined as net income from continuing operations before income
taxes, other expenses, depreciation and amortization, and including
adjustments as described above. We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure
our performance from period to period both at the consolidated
level as well as within our operating segments and to compare our
results to those of our competitors. We believe that the inclusion
of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplementary information to and
facilitates analysis by investors in evaluating the Company's
performance and trends. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is not
meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net
earnings as an indicator of our performance.
Free Cash Flow to Equity: To
supplement our statement of cash flows, we use a non-GAAP measure
of cash flow to analyze cash flows generated from operations. Free
cash flow to equity is defined as operating cash flow less cash
used by investing activities (excluding the impact of cash paid in
acquisitions), less required payments of debt, and excluding the
impact of discontinued operations. Management believes that this
measure of cash flow is meaningful since it represents the amount
of money available from continuing operations for the Company's
discretionary spending after funding all required obligations
including scheduled debt payments. The presentation of non-GAAP
free cash flow to equity is not meant to be considered in isolation
or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a
measure of liquidity.
