RIGHTNOW TECHNOLOGIES REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL
RESULTS AND RESCHEDULES EARNINGS CALL
FOR THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 2007

Company also announces resignation of Jay Rising

BOZEMAN, MONT. (April 19, 2007) RightNow Technologies (NASDAQ:RNOW), today announced results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. First quarter revenue was $25.7 million.  The net loss in the first quarter of 2007 was $(6.0) million or $(0.18) per share, compared to a net loss of $(0.4) million, or $(0.01) per share, in the first quarter of 2006. First quarter 2007 non-GAAP net loss was $(4.7) million which excludes stock-based compensation charges of $1.3 million.  2007 first quarter results include a 38% increase in recurring revenue and an 88% decrease in perpetual revenue compared to the first quarter of 2006, reflecting the Company’s recent business model changes.

During the first quarter, RightNow announced the general availability of RightNow 8 and added more than 60 new customers. New, renewed and expanded customer relationships during the first quarter of 2007 included Air Canada, Centers for Medicare/Medicaid, Daimler Chrysler, Drugstore.com, IAC Search and Media, Kewill, Reuters, Rockwell Automation, Sprint Nextel, and State of Indiana.  The Company also served more than 352 million interactions for its customers.

“The first quarter marked a good start to the year for RightNow as we executed through our business model transition,” stated Greg Gianforte, founder and CEO. “The launch of RightNow 8 has been very well received by customers, partners and industry analysts.”

Susan Carstensen, CFO, added, “We are reiterating 2007 revenue guidance reflecting the successful efforts of our sales force to focus on first year recurring revenue.  The shift in our business model contributed to a greater than expected decline in average contract length which results in lower cash guidance for the full year.  However, given our high customer satisfaction and our successful track record capturing better than 100% of available renewal dollars, we believe this shift will ultimately benefit our long term cash flow.”

The Company also announced the resignation of Jay Rising, President of Field Operations.  “Our sales leadership is in excellent hands with three senior, experienced software general managers running our North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific regions,” said Mr. Gianforte.  “I believe this change will have minimal impact on our sales organization, our pipeline or our forecasts and we are well-positioned to achieve our growth targets.”

Guidance

·For the full year 2007, the Company reiterated its expectation for revenue in the range of $116 million to $120 million.

·The Company now expects a smaller net loss per share for the full year 2007 in the range of $(0.51) to $(0.59). Non-GAAP net loss per share, which excludes stock-based compensation, is expected to be in the range of $(0.31) to $(0.39).

·Cash flow from operations for the full year 2007 is expected to be in the range of $15 million to $25 million.

·For the second quarter of 2007, revenue is anticipated to be in the range of $26.3 million to $26.8 million. The second quarter net loss per share is expected to be in the range of $(0.18) to $(0.20). Non-GAAP net loss per share, which excludes stock-based compensation, is expected to be in the range of $(0.11) to $(0.13).

[a] Estimated stock-based compensation expense to be recorded for the periods indicated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payments, (“SFAS 123R”) which is effective for periods beginning January 1, 2006.  Periods prior to 2006 do not include stock-based compensation expense.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.  These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same captions and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies.

RightNow’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding RightNow’s operating results because they facilitate the comparison of results for future periods with results from past periods.  RightNow adopted SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method.  Results of prior periods have not been restated to conform with the 2006 and subsequent years’ presentation.  We believe the calculation of diluted net income per share, calculated without stock-based compensation expense, provides a meaningful comparison to our diluted net income per share figures reported for 2005 and prior years.
