LAS VEGAS -- (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Rimini Street, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMNI), a global provider of enterprise software products and services, the leading third-party support provider for Oracle and SAP software products and a Salesforce partner, today announced financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

“Though global macro environment challenges including currency exchange rate headwinds negatively impacted third quarter financial and operating results, we achieved multi-million-dollar sales wins in diverse industries, strong subscription renewals and extensions, a continued increase in cross-sales of our expanded solutions portfolio to existing clients, and we maintained our excellent, industry-leading client satisfaction rating for cases and onboarding,” stated Seth A. Ravin, Rimini Street co-founder, CEO and chairman of the board. “We believe Rimini Street’s portfolio of IT solutions provides the services many organizations need today around their enterprise software systems, and provides industry-leading value, ROI and proven engineering capability. We remain focused on actions and investments to take advantage of market opportunities and re-accelerate growth.”

“For the third quarter, we achieved record revenue of $101.9 million, a higher year over year Revenue Retention Rate of 94% on subscription revenue and delivered a gross margin greater than 61% while making significant investments and changes focused on supporting sales and delivery of our expanded portfolio of services globally,” stated Michael L. Perica, Rimini Street chief financial officer. “Also during the quarter, Rimini Street repurchased 200,000 common shares at a cost of $992,000.”

Subsequent to the third quarter, on October 21, 2022, in connection with a lawsuit Rimini Street filed against Oracle in 2014 where Oracle filed counterclaims, Oracle withdrew certain of its counterclaims and all its claims against Rimini Street and our CEO, Seth A. Ravin, for monetary relief of any kind under any legal theory in the litigation. Rimini Street’s remaining claims and Oracle’s remaining counterclaims seeking only equitable relief are presently scheduled to be tried in the United States Federal Court for the District of Nevada on November 29, 2022. Please see Rimini Street’s Quarterly Report on SEC Form 10-Q filed today for additional information and disclosures regarding litigation with Oracle.
