Quarterly revenue of $62.6 million, up 20% year over year
Quarterly gross margin 58.4%
1,622 active clients at June 30, 2018, up 21% year over year
LAS VEGAS, August 9, 2018 – Rimini Street, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMNI), a global provider of enterprise software products and services, and the leading third-party support provider for Oracle and SAP software products, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2018.
“We believe the recently completed refinancing of our credit facility with a $140 million private placement equity transaction removes the constraints to our revenue growth by eliminating covenants on sales and marketing spend,” stated Seth A. Ravin, Rimini Street co-founder and CEO. “Completion of the refinancing allows us to aggressively invest in global sales, marketing and service delivery capacity and capabilities in order to drive future revenue. Based on our 13 year track record of sales performance, we expect these investments to lead to growth and improved operating leverage in 2019 and beyond.”
“Revenue for the second quarter of 2018 came in above our guidance range and was driven by growth across all geographies,” stated Tom Sabol, Rimini Street CFO. “We also made significant progress in our goal to reduce our cost of capital with the refinancing of our credit facility by providing us an expected reduction in debt-related costs of approximately $95 million over the next three years. In addition, the refinancing extended the expected maturity until July 2023, when the convertible preferred equity may be redeemed by the holders in full, unless it has been previously converted into common stock.”
