We have described below Active Clients, Annualized Recurring Revenue and Revenue Retention Rate, each of which is a key operational metric for our business. In addition, we have disclosed the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Calculated Billings and Adjusted Calculated Billings. Rimini Street has provided in the tables above a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this earnings release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Due to a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets, there were no tax effects associated with any of our non-GAAP adjustments. These non-GAAP financial measures are also described below. The primary purpose of using non-GAAP measures is to provide supplemental information that management believes may prove useful to investors and to enable investors to evaluate our results in the same way management does. We also present the non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they assist investors in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis, as well as comparing our results against the results of other companies, by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Specifically, management uses these non-GAAP measures as measures of operating performance; to prepare our annual operating budget; to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies; to provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance; to facilitate a comparison of our results with those of other companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results; and in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. Investors should be aware however, that not all companies define these non-GAAP measures consistently. Calculated Billings represents the change in deferred revenue for the current period plus revenue for the current period. Adjusted Calculated Billings is calculated billings adjusted to exclude the calculated billings associated with PeopleSoft services. Active Client is a distinct entity that purchases our services to support a specific product, including a company, an educational or government institution, or a business unit of a company. For example, we count as two separate active clients when support for two different products is being provided to the same entity. We believe that our ability to expand our active clients is an indicator of the growth of our business, the success of our sales and marketing activities, and the value that our services bring to our clients. Annualized Recurring Revenue is the amount of subscription revenue recognized during a fiscal quarter and multiplied by four. This gives us an indication of the revenue that can be earned in the following 12-month period from our existing client base assuming no cancellations or price changes occur during that period. Subscription revenue excludes any non-recurring revenue, which has been insignificant to date. Revenue Retention Rate is the actual subscription revenue (dollar-based) recognized over a 12-month period from customers that were clients on the day prior to the start of such 12-month period, divided by our Annualized Recurring Revenue as of the day prior to the start of the 12-month period. Non-GAAP Operating Income is operating income (loss) adjusted to exclude: litigation costs and related recoveries, net, stock-based compensation expense and reorganization costs. The exclusions are discussed in further detail below. Non-GAAP Net Income is net income (loss) adjusted to exclude: litigation costs and related recoveries, net, stock-based compensation expense and reorganization costs. These exclusions are discussed in further detail below. Specifically, management is excluding the following items from its non-GAAP financial measures, as applicable, for the periods presented: Litigation Costs and Related Recoveries, Net: Litigation costs and the associated litigation settlement, insurance and appeal recoveries relate to outside costs of litigation activities. These costs and recoveries reflect the litigation we are involved with, and do not relate to the day-to-day operations or our core business of serving our clients. Stock-Based Compensation Expense: Our compensation strategy includes the use of stock-based compensation to attract and retain employees. This strategy is principally aimed at aligning the employee interests with those of our stockholders and to achieve long-term employee retention. As a result, stock-based compensation expense varies for reasons that are generally unrelated to operational decisions in any particular period. Reorganization Costs: The costs consist primarily of severance costs associated with the Company's reorganization plan. EBITDA is net income (loss) adjusted to exclude: interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense.

Is Coca-Cola's Diversification Into Energy Drinks Gaining Traction?
The Coca-Cola Company 's KO push into the energy drink category is starting to yield results, although it is a gradual build. While the second-quarter 2025 earnings call did not shine the spotlight on energy drinks directly, the company's emphasis on its diversified portfolio, including BODYARMOR and Powerade, signals strategic momentum. Both brands registered volume growth in the second quarter, contributing to Coca-Cola's broader objective of gaining value share for the 17th consecutive quarter. This reflects consumer receptiveness to Coca-Cola's expanding non-soda offerings. The company's innovation agenda also plays a key role. The latest launches, such as Sprite+Tea, though not energy drinks, highlight Coca-Cola's agility in crafting hybrid beverages that tap into evolving tastes for functionality and flavor. This strategy complements its efforts in premium stills and sports hydration — segments that overlap with consumer needs — in the energy category. The company's all-weather approach and accelerated marketing execution have further enhanced visibility and consumer traction for its broader beverage lineup. While Coca-Cola has not yet disrupted the energy drink market on the scale of leaders like Monster Beverage Corporation MNST or Red Bull, its existing brand power, distribution strength and innovation pipeline suggest it is in for the long game. If current execution trends continue, Coca-Cola's diversification into energy beverages may shift from incremental gain to a more commanding presence in the next few quarters. The Rivalry in Energy Drinks Strengthens: Can PEP & MNST Keep Up? As Coca-Cola steadily expands its footprint in the energy drink market, all eyes are on PepsiCo Inc. PEP and Monster Beverage to see if they can keep pace in this increasingly competitive and fast-evolving segment. PepsiCo is intensifying its energy drink strategy with bold moves like acquiring Poppi, a fast-growing prebiotic soda brand, and expanding Sting's global visibility through a multi-year Formula 1 partnership. Gatorade remains central to its sports hydration portfolio, while Propel drives strong growth in functional drinks.
