On a constant currency basis, assuming foreign exchange rates were held constant with 2014, Movies Everywhere™ revenue would have been $7.6 million, an increase of 10 percent, and $29.9 million, an increase of 13 percent, respectively, for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2015. |

Gross margin was 63 percent of revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with 66 percent for the same period last year. The change was primarily related to costs associated with the addition of two major data providers. Rentrak expects gross margin to improve significantly with future revenue increases.
"Rentrak's fourth quarter was characterized by strong revenue growth, substantial bottom-line improvement and many significant operational achievements," said Bill Livek, Rentrak's Vice Chairman and CEO. "Profit contribution, on an adjusted basis*, in each of our three major product lines grew significantly for fiscal 2015, and we are especially proud of our gains in TV, which improved from a loss of $1.6 million for the full fiscal 2014 year to a profit of $9.0 million for fiscal 2015 as our business model continues to scale. As we discussed two weeks ago, Rentrak signed its fourth major broadcast network, an enterprise-wide agreement with Viacom for all of its 17 networks, and a deal with Discovery Communications for all of its 11 networks. These clients join more than 100 networks, 440 local television stations and more than 160 advertising agencies that are using Rentrak's massive and passive television ratings to more precisely understand and reach consumers."
Operating expenses for the fiscal 2015 fourth quarter totaled $19.7 million, versus $17.1 million for the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter. The increase related primarily to the costs associated with the company's acquisition of Kantar's U.S. return path data business in December 2014, as well as headcount increases and other operating costs to support the company's revenue growth. Excluding costs associated with the Kantar acquisition and the contingent consideration associated with the company's acquisition of iTVX in 2013, operating expenses would have increased 13.5 percent. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue declined to 57 percent for the fiscal 2015 fourth quarter, from 67 percent for the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter.
Operating loss for the fiscal 2015 fourth quarter amounted to $2.0 million, which included $3.5 million of acquisition costs associated with the company's acquisition of Kantar's U.S. return path data business and $1.9 million in stock-based compensation costs, partially offset by a $1.2 million credit related to the iTVX contingent consideration. Operating loss for the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter was $2.8 million, which included $1.6 million in expense related to the iTVX contingent consideration, $1.4 million in stock-based compensation costs and $111,000 in reorganization costs. Excluding all of these amounts for both periods, operating income would have improved to $2.3 million for the fiscal 2015 fourth quarter, compared with $238,000 for the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter.
Loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes, improved to $614,000, or $0.03 per share, for the fiscal 2015 fourth quarter, versus a loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes, of $2.7 million, or $0.22 per share, for the same period last year. Excluding all of the costs mentioned above for both periods, income from continuing operations, net of income taxes, for the fiscal 2015 fourth quarter would have been $3.6 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared with $382,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, net of income taxes, for the same period last year.
Net income, including discontinued operations, was $1.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the fiscal 2015 fourth quarter. Net loss, including discontinued operations, was $2.1 million, or $0.17 per share, for the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter. Excluding all of the costs mentioned above for both periods, net income, including discontinued operations, would have been $5.9 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared with $1.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the same period last year.
Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) increased substantially to $4.5 million for the fiscal 2015 fourth quarter, up from $1.8 million for the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA, as a percentage of revenue, grew to 16 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, up from 9 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, demonstrating a substantial increase in operating leverage. Rentrak said it expects adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITA as a percentage of revenue to continue to grow in fiscal 2016 with an adjusted EBITDA target of 35 percent of revenue over the long-term. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to its closest GAAP measure is included in the tables at the end of this press release.
Rentrak recorded a tax benefit of $1.2 million for the fiscal 2015 fourth quarter, compared with a tax benefit of $163,000 for the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter.
The company used $937,000 in cash from operating activities, including discontinued operations, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with using $4.8 million in cash from operating activities, including discontinued operations, for last year's fourth quarter.
Rentrak's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance increased to $84.0 million at March 31, 2015, from $22.0 million at March 31, 2014. The company has no debt.
Rentrak's most recent milestones include:
- Increasing its number of network television clients to more than 100, including four of the five major broadcast networks.
- Growing its number of local TV station clients to approximately 440, across nearly 70 TV station groups, representing 40 percent and 13 percent year-over-year growth, respectively.
- Expanding several long-term local TV station group relationships, including with the CBS and NBC owned television station groups, Gannett Broadcasting, Nexstar Broadcasting Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group.
- Adding several new national and regional advertising agency clients.
Fiscal 2015 Full Year Financial Results
As previously reported, fiscal 2015 revenue grew 36 percent to $102.9 million, up $27.3 million from $75.6 million last year. Gross margin increased to 65 percent of revenue for fiscal 2015, compared with 64 percent for fiscal 2014.
Operating loss for fiscal 2015 totaled $6.1 million, which included $7.8 million in stock-based compensation costs and $4.8 million in acquisition and reorganization costs associated with the company's acquisition of Kantar's U.S. return path data business, partially offset by a $200,000 credit related to the iTVX contingent consideration. The operating loss for fiscal 2014 totaled $9.5 million, which included $5.4 million in stock-based compensation expense, $2.7 million in costs related to the iTVX contingent consideration, and $325,000 in acquisition and reorganization costs. Excluding all of these amounts for both periods, the operating income would have been $6.3 million for fiscal 2015, compared with an operating loss of $1.1 million for fiscal 2014.
Loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes, improved to $5.4 million, or $0.38 per share, for fiscal 2015, versus a loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes, of $7.2 million, or $0.59 per share, for fiscal 2014. Excluding all of the costs mentioned above for both periods, and excluding the benefit related to the change in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 of $324,000, income from continuing operations, net of income taxes, would have been $7.1 million, or $0.49 per diluted share for fiscal 2015, compared with $907,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, for fiscal 2014.
Fiscal 2015 net loss, including discontinued operations, improved to $2.0 million, or $0.15 per share, compared with $4.3 million, or $0.35 per share, for fiscal 2014. Excluding all the costs mentioned above for both periods, net income would have been $10.4 million, or $0.72 per diluted share for fiscal 2015, compared with net income of $3.8 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for fiscal 2014.
Adjusted EBITDA grew significantly to $14.0 million for fiscal 2015, compared with $4.9 million for fiscal 2014. Adjusted EBITDA, as a percentage of revenue, increased to 14 percent for fiscal 2015, up from 6 percent for fiscal 2014.
For fiscal 2015, cash provided by operating activities, including discontinued operations, totaled $9.8 million, compared with $6.3 million for fiscal 2014.

About Profit Contribution
From time to time, Rentrak may refer to Profit Contribution in its conference calls and discussions with investors and analysts in connection with the company's reported historical financial results. Profit Contribution represents the performance of our product lines and does not reflect all expenses, such as corporate, research, technology, innovation and other costs which are not allocated to a specific product line. The most comparable GAAP measure to Profit Contribution is Operating income (loss) from continuing operations. The reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure for the twelve months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are included in the table above. Rentrak management believes that product line profit contribution is a useful metric in which to compare the performance of our products from period to period.

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, 2015 and 2014 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 non-cash items, such as stock-based compensation, as well as cash-settled items, such as acquisition and non-recurring costs, as we believe these are not representative of our ongoing operating performance and we believe excluding these costs provide a useful metric by which to compare 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.
