Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Profitability Turnaround: The company shifted from a net loss of $36.3 million in 2024 to net income of $37.1 million in 2025. This was primarily driven by the reversal of a $58.5 million litigation expense recorded in 2024, which was recovered in 2025 following the Oracle settlement.
- Revenue Decline: Total revenue decreased by 2% year-over-year. This was due to a $12.9 million reduction in Oracle PeopleSoft and other subscription clients, partially offset by a $5.8 million increase in professional services revenue.
- Geographic Shift: U.S. revenue declined 8% to $193.0 million, while international revenue grew 4% to $228.5 million. International revenue now represents 54% of total revenue.
- Cost Management: Cost of revenue decreased slightly (0.5%) despite revenue declines, aided by a 6% reduction in average employee headcount. Operating expenses decreased significantly (33.6%) due to the litigation recovery.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Outlook and Strategy: Management is focused on the "Rimini Smart Path" methodology (Support > Optimize > Innovate) and the launch of "Rimini Agentic UX" solutions in partnership with ServiceNow. The company expects continued revenue reductions related to the Oracle PeopleSoft wind-down through July 2028. Management believes current cash, operating cash flows, and the $35.0 million available revolving credit facility are sufficient to meet liquidity needs for at least 12 months.
Key Risks and Contingencies:
- Oracle Wind-Down: The company is contractually obligated to cease support for Oracle PeopleSoft by July 31, 2028. Failure to comply could result in the lifting of the litigation stay and potential adverse legal outcomes.
- Litigation Exposure: While the Rimini II litigation is stayed, the Rimini I and Rimini II injunctions remain in effect. Any uncured breach of the settlement agreement could lead to contempt proceedings.
- Revenue Retention: The company faces risks related to client retention rates and the potential for clients to migrate to cloud-based versions of enterprise software, which may reduce demand for third-party support.
- Debt Covenants: The 2024 Credit Facility requires compliance with financial covenants, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 and a total leverage ratio of less than 3.75. The company was in compliance as of December 31, 2025.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Recurring Revenue Quality: Verify the sustainability of the $37.1 million net income by analyzing the pro-forma results excluding the $36.2 million one-time litigation recovery.
- PeopleSoft Wind-Down Impact: Assess the specific timeline and revenue impact of the mandated Oracle PeopleSoft wind-down through 2028 and the company's ability to offset this with new Agentic AI and managed services revenue.
- Liquidity Position: Confirm the company's ability to maintain the minimum $20 million liquidity covenant under its credit facility given the working capital deficit and ongoing debt service obligations.
- Client Retention Rates: Review the 88% revenue retention rate and monitor for any acceleration in churn due to the Oracle settlement or broader economic conditions.
- Stock Repurchase Program: Monitor the execution of the $50.0 million share repurchase program, of which $36.7 million remains available as of year-end 2025.
