RENTRAK CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Rentrak Corporation have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 (“Fiscal 2015”). The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”).

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Certain reclassifications, primarily related to the presentation of discontinued operations, have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Rentrak Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and those entities in which we have a controlling interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In Fiscal 2012, we established a Chinese joint venture, Sinotrak, and hold a 49% ownership interest in this variable interest entity (the “VIE”). Sinotrak has been included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, given our significant influence over day to day operations, among other factors. To date, the activities of Sinotrak have been limited primarily to initial cash contributions from both joint venture parties and costs associated with Sinotrak’s formation. The equity interests of the noncontrolling party, totaling $0.8 million as of September 30, 2014, are reported as a noncontrolling interest in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The noncontrolling party’s share of the expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, are included in “Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 2. Net Loss Per Share

Following is a reconciliation of the shares used for the basic loss per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS calculations (in thousands, except footnote reference):

	Three Months Ended September 30,		Six Months Ended September 30,
	2014	2013	2014	2013

(1) Includes 177,569 and 178,302 vested cumulative DSUs, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and 174,496 and 174,228 vested cumulative DSUs, respectively, for the six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 that will not be issued until the directors holding the DSUs retire from our Board of Directors.

Note 3.Discontinued Operations

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2014, we initiated our plan to sell our PPT^® business, which has been a longstanding legacy business of Rentrak and a significant component of the Home Entertainment operating division. Had we decided to retain the line, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, it would have represented 22.5% and 39.5%, respectively, of our total revenue, and for the six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, it would have represented 25.1% and 40.8%, respectively, of our total revenue. Our PPT^® business has been in a state of decline due to the decline of physical DVD rentals from retail stores. This strategic decision to sell PPT^® will enable us to focus more fully on the growth of our media measurement business and advanced consumer targeting business. Accordingly, we have restated our financial results, and the PPT^® business is reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Operating results from discontinued operations are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Six Months Ended September 30,

(2) Amounts capitalized in accordance with our policies related to Capitalized software as described in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 10-K.

Note 5. Fair Value Disclosures

We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities as follows:

• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

• Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and

• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs, including our own assumptions in determining fair value.

8

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Following are the disclosures related to our financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2014			March 31, 2014
	Fair Value		Input Level	Fair Value		Input Level
Available-for-sale marketable securities
Fixed-income securities	$	18,833	Level 1	$	16,868	Level 1

The fair value of our “available-for-sale” marketable securities is determined based on quoted market prices for identical securities on a quarterly basis. There were no changes to our valuation methodologies during the first six months of Fiscal 2015.

See Note 6 for disclosures related to the fair value determination for the contingent consideration liability associated with our acquisition of iTVX, which is a Level 3 liability. There were no changes to our valuation techniques during the first six months of Fiscal 2015.

Marketable securities, all of which were classified as “available-for-sale” at September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2014			March 31, 2014
Available-for-sale marketable securities
Amortized cost	$	18,868		$	16,868
Gross unrecognized holding losses	(35		)	—
Fair value	$	18,833		$	16,868

Note 6.Acquisition of iTVX, Inc. (“iTVX”)

In August 2013, we acquired the outstanding stock of iTVX, a provider of branded entertainment analytics, insight and research, for $2.8 million. iTVX is reported as a component of TV Essentials^® and expands our product and service offerings. We made an initial payment of approximately $0.8 million, of which $383,000 was paid in cash and $405,000 was paid with 17,209 shares of our common stock. The acquisition also includes contingent consideration which, if earned, will be paid in January 2016, and is based on future revenue achieved after the completion of approximately 2 years. The range of the undiscounted amounts we could pay under the contingent consideration arrangement is between $0.5 million and $7.0 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date was $2.0 million. The contingent consideration payment will be paid in the form of cash (25% of the total contingent consideration) and shares of our common stock (75% of the total contingent consideration).

We estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration using a beta probability distribution approach. Acquisition related contingent consideration liabilities are classified as Level 3 liabilities because we use unobservable inputs to value them, reflecting our assessment of the assumptions market participants would use to value these liabilities. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements are recorded as income or expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2014, the fair value of the estimated contingent consideration arrangement, as well as the related expense, increased by $0.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The increase was a result of an increase in the value of our common stock price and has been included in selling, general and administrative expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The common stock portion of the contingent consideration arrangement has a fixed price of $21.795 per share, and any fluctuation in our common stock price above or below this amount will affect the fair value of the payment and our results of operations. The fair value of the estimated contingent consideration as of September 30, 2014, was $4.8 million and is included in accrued compensation, long-term in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In allocating the purchase price consideration based on fair values, we recorded $0.9 million of acquired intangible assets with useful lives of 1 to 6 years, $1.9 million of goodwill, $0.3 million of net tangible assets and $0.3 million of deferred tax liabilities. The goodwill recorded in connection with this business combination is primarily related to the synergies to be achieved that are unique to our business.

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, we included $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in revenue and $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in net losses related to iTVX since the acquisition date, excluding the adjustment for

9

the contingent consideration as a result of the increase in our common stock price as noted above. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred amortization expense of $46,000 and $92,000, respectively, relating to the intangible assets acquired, which is included in selling and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 8. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rates are determined by excluding certain jurisdictions with net losses. Our tax provision for the first six months of Fiscal 2015 was 21.0% due to the effect of allocations to discontinued operations. Without these allocations, the provision would have been substantially lower due to the offset of both net operating losses and the valuation allowance on deferred taxes.

Our effective tax rate for the first six months of Fiscal 2014 was a benefit of 27.0%, in part due to allocation to discontinued operations previously described as well as the reduction of our valuation allowance due to the acquisition of deferred tax liabilities as part of our acquisition of iTVX in August 2013.

Note 9. New Accounting Guidance

ASU 2014-09

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We are evaluating our existing revenue recognition policies to determine whether any contracts in the scope of the guidance will be affected by the new requirements. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein.

ASU 2014-08

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment” (“ASU 2014-08”). ASU 2014-08 amends the guidance related to reporting for discontinued operations. The amended guidance requires the assets and liabilities of a disposal group be separately presented in the asset and liability sections, respectively, of the statement of financial position. ASU 2014-08 is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and early adoption is permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-08 effective as of March 31, 2014, and our adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 10. Subsequent Events

We have considered all events that have occurred subsequent to September 30, 2014 and through the date of this filing and, except as set forth below, determined that no additional disclosure is required.

On October 8, 2014, we entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire the U.S. television measurement business of WPP’s Kantar business unit (a unit of Competitive Media Reporting, LLC (“Seller”), an affiliate of WPP plc). The agreement consists of customer contracts and relationships in the U.S. television measurement market.

In consideration for the purchase, we agreed to assume specified liabilities of the Seller, and to issue 1,526,790 shares of our unregistered common stock. Based on the closing price of our common stock on October 8, 2014, the shares have an approximate value of $98.5 million.

The closing of the asset purchase agreement is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is anticipated to be completed by the end of calendar 2014.

On October 8, 2014, we also entered into a stock purchase agreement with WPP Luxembourg Gamma Three S.à r.l., an affiliate of WPP plc (“WPP Luxembourg”). Pursuant to this agreement, we agreed to issue and sell to WPP Luxembourg, at the time of and contingent upon the closing of the asset purchase agreement, 948,834 shares of unregistered common stock in exchange for $55.8 million in cash.

Business Overview

We are a global media measurement and information company serving the entertainment, television, video and advertising industries. Our Software as a Service (“SaaS”) technology merges television viewership information from over 100 million TVs and devices with consumer behavior and purchase information (“Advanced Demographics”) across multiple platforms, devices and distribution channels. We also measure box office results from more than 100,000 movie screens in 36 countries throughout the world. We process and aggregate hundreds of billions of data transactions from multiple screens wherever entertainment content is viewed, whether at the box office, on a television screen, over the internet or on a smart phone or other portable device. Rentrak measures live TV, recorded TV (“DVR”) and Video-On-Demand (“VOD”), whether the content is free, purchased, rented, recorded, downloaded or streamed from multiple channels. These massive content databases provide stable and granular viewership information across every screen (“multiscreen”) and are anonymously matched with third-party consumer segmentation and purchase databases using privacy compliant methodologies. By linking multiscreen viewership information with information about the products viewers consume and prefer, we provide our clients, such as content producers, distributors, advertisers and advertising agencies, with the knowledge necessary to more effectively manage their businesses, program and market their networks and more precisely target and sell their advertising inventory. The benefits to the advertising community are improvements in profitability by effectively targeting specific TV shows against the demographics of the products viewers buy, the cars viewers drive and how viewers are likely to vote in elections. The benefits to the movie industry and video (TV) content owners are that they can manage their businesses in real time or near real time and also improve their profitability. Additionally, certain clients use our databases to populate programmatic buying systems. These systems automate the buying process and introduce efficiencies for both advertising agencies and their clients.

Previously, we had two operating divisions within our corporate structure and we reported certain financial information by individual segment under this structure. Those two operating divisions were our Advanced Media and Information (“AMI”) operating division, which included our media measurement services, and our Home Entertainment operating division, which included our distribution services as well as services that measured, aggregated and reported consumer rental activity on film product from traditional “brick and mortar,” online and kiosk retailers.

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2014, we initiated our plan to sell our Pay Per Transaction^® (“PPT^®”) business. Accordingly, we have restated our financial results and the PPT^® business is reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Our media measurement services are primarily delivered through scalable, SaaS products within our Entertainment Essentials^™ lines of business. These syndicated big data services, offered primarily on a recurring subscription basis, provide consumer viewership information integrated with consumer segmentation and purchase behavior databases. We provide film studios, television networks and local stations, cable, satellite and telecommunications company (“telco”) operators, advertisers and advertising agencies unique insights into consumer viewing and purchasing patterns through our comprehensive and expansive information on local, national, VOD and “Over the Top” television performance and worldwide box office results. Our movie measurement business is a global business measuring more than 95% of the ticket sales globally in real or near real time, allowing for decisions to be made to market to, promote and manage the industry for maximum profitability.

Our Products and Services

We provide media measurement business intelligence services across multiple screens and platforms delivered as SaaS. These services, offered primarily on a recurring subscription basis, are distributed to clients through patent pending software systems and business processes into two broad areas within the entertainment industry, which we refer to as TV Everywhere^™ and Movies Everywhere^™. Our systems capture total television audience information by providing the largest coverage from multiple screens and providers and merge that information with Advanced Demographics and information relating to actual consumer purchase behavior.

Typical customers utilizing our services include content producers, studios, distributors, national networks, local stations, satellite and cable operators, agencies, and a wide spectrum of advertisers, ranging from traditional consumer brands to various political groups. We also provide many of our clients tailored research and analytical solutions unique to their needs and specifications.

Our most significant lines of business, which we refer to as Entertainment Essentials^™ services, are:

• TV Everywhere^™, which includes TV Essentials^® and StationView Essentials^™;

• Movies Everywhere^™, which includes domestic and international Box Office Essentials^®, PostTrak^® and PreAct^™;

14

• OnDemand Everywhere^®, which includes OnDemand Essentials^® and “Over the Top” measurement products and related products; and

• Other services, which includes our Studio Direct Revenue Sharing (“DRS”) and other products relating to content in the home video rental industry.

In August 2013, we acquired iTVX, a provider of branded entertainment analytics, insight and research. The financial results of iTVX, from the date of acquisition, are included within our TV Everywhere^™ lines of business.

Revenue

Revenue increased $7.4 million, or 41.5%, to $25.2 million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2015 compared to $17.8 million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2014. Revenue increased $13.1 million, or 37.8%, to $47.6 million in the six month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to $34.5 million in the six month period ended September 30, 2013. These fluctuations are described in more detail below.

Revenue information is as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Dollar Change		% Change

	$	47,585	$	34,525	$	13,060	37.8%

The increases in TV Everywhere^™ revenue in the Fiscal 2015 periods were primarily due to the addition of new clients, sales of new services, custom reports and rate increases for existing clients.

The increases in Movies Everywhere^™ revenue in the Fiscal 2015 periods were primarily due to rate increases for existing clients, sales of new services and the addition of new clients.

The increases in OnDemand Everywhere^® revenue in Fiscal 2015 periods were primarily due to rate increases for existing clients.

Other services primarily includes DRS revenue and measurement services relating to physical content in the home video rental industry. The increases in revenue in the Fiscal 2015 periods were primarily due to rate increases for existing clients as well as an increase in home video rental transactions.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin

Cost of revenue includes direct costs relating to our Entertainment Essentials^™ services, and consists of costs associated with the operation of a call center for our Movies Everywhere^™ services, as well as costs associated with amortizing capitalized, internally developed software used to provide the corresponding services and direct costs incurred to obtain and process data and maintain our systems.

Cost of revenue increased $1.2 million, or 17.7%, to $8.0 million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2015 compared to $6.8 million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2014. Cost of revenue increased $2.5 million, or 19.3%, to $15.6 million in the first six months of Fiscal 2015 compared to $13.1 million in the first six months of Fiscal 2014.

Cost of revenue information is as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Dollar Change		% Change
	2014		2013
Costs related to:
Amortization of internally developed software	$	991	$	796	$	195	24.5%
Call center operation	1,410		1,334		76		5.7%
Obtaining and processing data	5,639		4,699		940		20.0%

	Six Months Ended September 30,				Dollar Change		% Change
	2014		2013
Costs related to:
Amortization of internally developed software	$	1,874	$	1,579	$	295	18.7%
Call center operation	2,882		2,735		147		5.4%
Obtaining and processing data	10,888		8,804		2,084		23.7%
	$	15,644	$	13,118	$	2,526	19.3%

The increases in cost of revenue in the Fiscal 2015 periods compared to the same periods of Fiscal 2014 resulted primarily from expanding household coverage with existing data supplier agreements, and the addition of new data supplier agreements.

Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,		Six Months Ended September 30,
	2014	2013	2014	2013
Gross margin	68.1%	61.7%	67.1%	62.0%

The costs associated with our existing data supplier agreements are largely fixed. This, coupled with the increases in revenue noted above, resulted in improvements in gross margin in the Fiscal 2015 periods compared to the same periods of Fiscal 2014.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits, information technology, development, innovation and analytics, marketing and advertising costs, legal and professional fees, communications costs, depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets and software, real and personal property leases, as well as other general corporate expenses.

	$	33,715	$	26,177	$	7,538		28.8%

Entertainment Essentials^™ 

The increases in operating expenses for our Entertainment Essentials^™ services groups in the Fiscal 2015 periods compared to the same periods of Fiscal 2014 were primarily due to increased headcount in our sales and client services groups, as well as operating costs relating to iTVX, which was acquired in August 2013.

Our long-term strategic plan is heavily focused on the development, growth and expansion of our Entertainment Essentials^™ services, both domestically and internationally, and we consider these expenses to be investments which will help us leverage our growth longer term.

Research, Technology and Innovation

We are making significant investments in our systems which support our existing service lines, as well as products which are in the planning phases. We continue to add new data providers, integrate various third-party segmentation databases with our data and build our analytic capabilities. The increases in these costs relate to additional headcount, as well as increased costs relating to our systems. Additionally, we are incurring costs associated with our Media Rating Council (“MRC”) accreditation process. These expenditures will likely increase our costs over the next twelve months. We believe we will be able to leverage these investments and generate revenue and earnings streams that will contribute to our overall success.

Stock-based compensation costs for iTVX

Our acquisition of iTVX in August 2013 included contingent consideration, which, if earned, will be paid in January 2016. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements are recorded as income or expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2014, the fair value of the estimated contingent consideration arrangement increased by $0.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively, compared to the fair value as of March 31, 2014. The increases were a result of an increase in the value of our common stock price. The common stock portion of the contingent consideration arrangement has a fixed price of $21.795 per share, and any fluctuation in our common stock price above or below this amount will affect the fair value of the payment and our results of operations.

Corporate

The increases in Corporate expenses in the Fiscal 2015 periods compared to the same periods of Fiscal 2014 were primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation and higher bonus accruals.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rates are determined by excluding certain jurisdictions with net losses. Our tax provision for the first six months of Fiscal 2015 was 21.0% due to the effect of intraperiod allocations to discontinued operations. Without this allocation, the provision would have been substantially offset by net operating losses and the valuation allowance on deferred taxes.

18

Our effective tax rate for the first six months of Fiscal 2014 was a benefit of 27.0%, in part due to allocation to discontinued operations previously described as well as the reduction of our valuation allowance due to the acquisition of deferred tax liabilities as part of our acquisition of iTVX in August 2013.

Income from Discontinued Operations, net of income taxes

Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, includes the results of our PPT^® line of business, and is as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Dollar Change			% Change
	2014		2013
Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes	$	308	$	802	$	(494	)	(61.6)%
	Six Months Ended September 30,				Dollar Change			% Change
	2014		2013
Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes	$	655	$	1,563	$	(908	)	(58.1)%

The decreases in income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, in the Fiscal 2015 periods compared to the same periods of Fiscal 2014 were primarily due to the continued decline in physical DVD rental transactions from retail stores as well as the exit of Blockbuster from the market in January 2014.

Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation

We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense and other expenses which we consider non-recurring in nature. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is helpful as an indicator of the current financial performance of our company and our capacity to operationally fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Due to the nature of our internally developed software which supports our Essentials^® services and our use of stock-based compensation, we incur significant non-cash charges for depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense that may not be indicative of our operating performance from a cash perspective. We also adjust for acquisition and non-recurring costs as we believe this provides a useful metric by which to compare performance from period to period.

Adjusted EBITDA does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, is not derived in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss (the most comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA).

The table below presents a reconciliation from net loss to Adjusted EBITDA (dollars in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our sources of liquidity include our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, cash expected to be generated from future operations and investments and our ability to borrow on our $15.0 million line of credit. Based on our current financial projections and projected cash needs, we believe that our available sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our current operations, the continued current development of our business information services and other cash requirements through at least September 30,2015.

Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities increased$1.3 million to $23.3 million at September 30, 2014 from March 31, 2014. This increase resulted primarily from $6.1 million provided by operating activities and $0.8 million related to the issuance of our common stock, partially offset by $5.3 million used for the purchase of equipment and capitalized information technology costs. Portions of our cash and cash equivalents are held in our foreign subsidiaries. In the event we repatriate these earnings, the earnings may be subject to United States federal, state and foreign income taxes. As of September 30, 2014, we had $3.5 million in foreign bank accounts which we plan to use to fund our international expansion and growth.

We had $18.8 million invested in a fixed-income security fund as of September 30, 2014. Fund values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issues, general market and economic conditions and changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, security fund values fall and investors may lose principal value. While we currently have no plans or requirements to sell the securities in the foreseeable future, we are exposed to market risks and cannot predict what impact fluctuations in the market may have on the value of these funds.

Accounts receivable, net of allowances, increased $2.7 million to $14.9 million at September 30, 2014 from March 31, 2014, primarily due to the increase in revenue in the second quarter of Fiscal 2015 compared to the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2014.

During the first six months of Fiscal 2015, we spent $5.3 million on property and equipment, including $3.6 million for the capitalization of internally developed software for our business information service offerings. We anticipate spending a total of approximately $10.4 million in Fiscal 2015 on property and equipment, of which approximately $7.2 million is for the capitalization of internally developed software, primarily for the development of systems for our Entertainment Essentials^™ lines of business. The remaining amounts include purchases of computers, servers and networking equipment.

Accrued data provider liabilities increased$4.0 million to $8.5 million at September 30, 2014 from March 31, 2014, primarily due to increased expenses incurred related to our data suppliers and the addition of new data suppliers.

Accrued compensation decreased$1.3 million to $5.4 million at September 30, 2014 from March 31, 2014, primarily due to a $1.5 million decrease in our bonus accrual related to Fiscal 2014 bonuses which were paid during the first quarter of Fiscal 2015, partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in the accrual for contingent consideration associated with our acquisition of iTVX.

Deferred revenue and other credits increased$0.8 million to $3.4 million at September 30, 2014 from March 31, 2014, primarily due to the increase in revenue as the balance includes amounts related to quarterly and annual subscriptions for our services, as well as the current portion of our deferred rent credits.

Deferred rent of $2.6 million at September 30, 2014, which includes both the current and long-term portion, represents amounts received for qualified renovations to our corporate headquarters and our offices in New York and Portland, as well as free rent for a portion of the lease terms. The deferred rent related to qualified renovations is being amortized against rent expense over the remaining lease terms, which extend through June 30, 2023, at the rate of approximately $54,000 per quarter. The deferred rent related to free rent is also being amortized against rent expense over the remaining lease terms and is expected to be approximately $13,000 per quarter for Fiscal 2015.

We currently have a revolving line of credit for $15.0 million that matures December 1, 2014. Interest accrues on outstanding balances under the line of credit at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.0% per annum, and we incur fees on the unused portion at a rate of 0.2% per annum. The credit line is secured by substantially all of our assets. At September 30, 2014, issued and outstanding letters of credit of $0.3 million were reserved against the line of credit and we had no outstanding borrowings under this agreement. The agreement contains certain liquidity, asset and financial covenants and, as of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with those covenants.

EXHIBIT 10.3

RENTRAK CORPORATION

2011 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The Rentrak Corporation 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is comprised of two subplans as set forth below, each of which is intended to constitute a separate offering: the Rentrak Corporation U.S. Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Rentrak Corporation International Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

The number of shares of the Common Stock of Rentrak Corporation reserved for sale and authorized for issuance pursuant to the Rentrak Corporation 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan comprised of the Rentrak Corporation U.S. Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Rentrak Corporation International Employee Stock Purchase Plan is 200,000 shares, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 9 of each subplan. Shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Plan shall be drawn from authorized and unissued shares.

RENTRAK CORPORATION

U.S. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

SECTION 1. PURPOSE

The purpose of this Plan is to provide employees of the Company and its Designated Subsidiaries with an opportunity to purchase Common Stock of the Company. It is the intention of the Company to have the Plan qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code. The provisions of this Plan, accordingly, shall be construed so as to extend and limit participation in a manner consistent with the requirements of that Section of the Code.

SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS

Certain terms used in this Plan have the meanings set forth in Appendix A.

SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Initial Eligibility

Except as provided in Section 3.2, each Employee shall become eligible to participate in the Plan in accordance with Section 4 on the first Enrollment Date on or following the later of (a) the date on which Employee completes six (6) months of continuous employment; and (b) the Effective Date. Participation in the Plan is entirely voluntary.

3.2 Limitations on Eligibility

The following Employees are not eligible to participate in the Plan:

(a)    Employees who have been continuously employed for fewer than six (6) months,

(b)    Employees whose customary employment is twenty (20) hours or less per week; and

(c)    Employees who, immediately upon purchasing Shares under the Plan, would own directly or indirectly, an aggregate of five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all outstanding shares of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary (and for purposes of this paragraph, the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply, and stock that the Employee may purchase under outstanding options shall be treated as stock owned by the Employee).

SECTION 4. ENROLLMENT

Any Eligible Employee may enroll in the Plan for any Offering Period by completing and signing an enrollment election form or by such other means as the Committee shall prescribe and submitting such enrollment election to the Company in accordance with procedures established by the Committee on or before the Cut-Off Date with respect to such Offering Period. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the enrollment election and the designated rate of payroll deduction shall

continue for future Offering Periods unless the Participant changes or cancels the enrollment election or designated rate of payroll deduction prior to the Cut-Off Date.

SECTION 5. GRANT OF OPTIONS ON ENROLLMENT

5.1 Option Grant

Enrollment by an Eligible Employee in the Plan as of an Enrollment Date will constitute the grant by the Company to such Participant of an option on such Enrollment Date to purchase Shares from the Company pursuant to the Plan.

5.2 Option Expiration

An option granted to a Participant pursuant to this Plan shall expire, if not terminated for any reason first, on the earliest to occur of: (a) the end of the Offering Period in which such option was granted; (b) the completion of the purchase of Shares under the option under Section 7; or (c) the date on which participation of such Participant in the Plan terminates for any reason.

5.3 Purchase of Shares

An option granted to a Participant under the Plan shall give the Participant a right to purchase on a Purchase Date the largest number of whole Shares, as determined by the Committee, that the funds accumulated in the Participant’s Account as of such Purchase Date will purchase at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that such option shall be for a maximum number of shares determined by dividing $25,000 by the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the first day of the applicable Offering Period; provided, further, that the Committee may, in its discretion, limit the number of Shares purchased by each Participant in any Purchase Period.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent required by Section 423 of the Code, no Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan (or any other plan of the Company or a Subsidiary intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code) that would permit the Employee to purchase Shares under the Plan (and such other plan) in any calendar year with a Fair Market Value (determined at the time such option is granted) in excess of $25,000 and any payments made by a Participant in excess of this limitation shall be returned to the Participant in accordance with procedures established by the Committee.

SECTION 6. PAYMENT

The Committee may designate the time and manner for payment of Shares to be purchased during the Purchase Period, including, but not limited to, through payroll deductions from Eligible Compensation, the terms and conditions of which are designated by the Committee. Payment amounts shall be credited on a bookkeeping basis to a Participant’s Account under this Plan. All payment amounts may be used by the Company for any purpose and the Company shall have no obligation to segregate such funds. No interest accrues on payments by Participants.

SECTION 7. PURCHASE OF SHARES

7.1 Option Exercise

Any option held by the Participant that was granted under this Plan and that remains outstanding as of a Purchase Date shall be deemed to have been exercised on such Purchase Date for the number of whole Shares, as determined by the Committee, that the funds accumulated in the Participant’s Account as of the Purchase Date will purchase at the applicable Purchase Price (but not in excess of the number of Shares for which options have been granted to the Participant pursuant to Section 5.3). Options for other Shares for which options have been granted that are not purchased on the last Purchase Date during the Offering Period shall terminate. Shares shall not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed. As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Committee may require the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares.

7.2 Refund of Excess Amount

If, after a Participant’s exercise of an option under Section 7.1, an amount remains credited to the Participant’s Account as of a Purchase Date, then the remaining amount shall be (a) if no further Purchase Periods are immediately contemplated by the Committee, distributed to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible, or (b) if another Purchase Period is contemplated by the Committee, carried forward in the Account for application to the purchase of Shares on the next following Purchase Date.

7.3 Employees of Subsidiary

In the case of Participants employed by a Designated Subsidiary, the Committee may provide for Shares to be sold through the Subsidiary to such Participants, to the extent consistent with Section 423 of the Code.

7.4 Pro Rata Allocation

If the total number of Shares for which options are or could be exercised on any Purchase Date in accordance with this Section 7, when aggregated with all Shares for which options have been previously exercised under this Plan, exceeds the maximum number of Shares reserved in Section 12, the Company may, in accordance with Section 12, allocate the Shares available for delivery and distribution in the ratio that the balance in each Participant’s Account bears to the aggregate balances of all Participants’ Accounts, and the remaining balance of the amount credited to the Account of each Participant under the Plan shall be returned to him or her as promptly as possible.

7.5 Notice of Disposition

If a Participant or former Participant sells, transfers, or otherwise makes a disposition of Shares purchased pursuant to an option granted under the Plan if such Participant or former Participant is subject to United States federal income tax, then such Participant or former Participant shall notify the Company or the Employer in writing of such sale, transfer or other disposition within ten (10) days of the consummation of such sale, transfer, or other disposition. Without limitation on the Participant or former Participant’s ability to sell, transfer or otherwise make a disposition of Shares and without limitation on Section 11.2, Participants and former Participants must maintain any Shares purchased pursuant to an option granted under the Plan within two (2) years after the date such option is granted or within one (1) year after the date such Shares were transferred to the Participant at the broker designated by the Committee, unless the Committee determines otherwise.

SECTION 8. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PLAN, TERMINATION

OF EMPLOYMENT, AND LEAVE OF ABSENCE

8.1 Withdrawal From the Plan

A Participant may withdraw all funds accumulated in the Participant’s Account from the Plan during any Purchase Period by delivering a notice of withdrawal to the Company or the Employer (in a manner prescribed by the Committee) at any time up to but not including the thirty (30) days prior to the Purchase Date next following the date such notice of withdrawal is delivered, or at such shorter time in advance of such Purchase Date as the Committee may permit. If notice of complete withdrawal as described in the preceding sentence is timely received, all funds then accumulated in the Participant’s Account shall not be used to purchase Shares, but shall instead be distributed to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible and the Company or the Employer will cease the Participant’s payroll withholding for the Plan in accordance with timing and other procedures established by the Committee. An Employee who has withdrawn during a Purchase Period may not return funds to the Company or the Employer during the same Purchase Period and require the Company or the Employer to apply those funds to the purchase of Shares. Any Eligible Employee who has withdrawn from the Plan may, however, re-enroll in the Plan on the next subsequent Enrollment Date, if any.

8.2 Termination of Participation

Participation in the Plan terminates immediately on the date on which a Participant ceases to be employed by the Company or the Employer for any reason whatsoever or otherwise ceases to be an Eligible Employee, and all funds then accumulated in the Participant’s Account shall not be used to purchase Shares, but shall instead be distributed to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible.

8.3 Leaves of Absence

If a Participant takes a leave of absence, such Participant shall have the right, in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Committee, to elect to withdraw from the Plan in accordance with Section 8.1. To the extent determined by the Committee or required by Section 423 of the Code, certain leaves of absence may be treated as cessations of employment for purposes of the Plan.

SECTION 9. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION,

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION, MERGER OR ASSET SALE

9.1 Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization

Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the right to purchase Shares of Common Stock covered by a current Offering Period and the number of Shares that have been authorized for issuance under the Plan for any future Offering Period, the maximum number of Shares each Participant may purchase each Offering Period (pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof), as well as the price per Share and the number of Shares covered by each right under the Plan that have not yet been purchased shall be proportionately adjusted in the sole discretion of the Committee for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, or any other increase or decrease in the number of Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. Except as expressly provided otherwise by the Committee, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares.

9.2 Adjustment Upon Dissolution, Liquidation, Merger or Asset Sale

Without limitation on the preceding provisions, in the event of any dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s outstanding voting securities, sales, lease, exchange or other transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or any similar transaction as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the Committee may make such adjustment it deems appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights in the number and class of Shares that may be delivered under Section 12, in the number, class of or price of Shares available for purchase under the Plan and in the number of Shares that a Participant is entitled to purchase and any other adjustments it deems appropriate. Without limiting the Committee’s authority under this Plan, in the event of any such transaction, the Committee may elect to have the options hereunder assumed or such options substituted by a successor entity, to terminate all outstanding options either prior to their expiration or upon completion of the purchase of Shares on the next Purchase Date, to shorten the Offering Period by setting a new Purchase Date, or to take such other action deemed appropriate by the Committee.

SECTION 10. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY

Each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom the amount in his or her Account is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Committee during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, any Account balance remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.

SECTION 11. ADMINISTRATION

11.1 Administration by Committee

The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have the authority to delegate duties to officers, directors or employees of the Company.

11.2 Authority of Committee

The Committee shall have the full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe and interpret the Plan and options granted under it; to establish, amend, and revoke rules and regulations for administration of the Plan (including, without limitation, the determination and change of Offering Periods, Purchase Periods and payment procedures, the requirement that Shares be held

by a specified broker, and the establishment of the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars); to determine all questions of eligibility, disputed claims and policy that may arise in the administration of the Plan; to make any changes to the Plan or its operations to reduce or eliminate any unfavorable legal, accounting or other consequences to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee; and, generally, to exercise such powers and perform such acts as the Committee deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company, including, but not limited to, designating from time to time which Subsidiaries of the Company shall be part of the Employer. The Committee’s determinations as to the interpretation and operation of this Plan shall be final and conclusive and each action of the Committee shall be binding on all persons.

In exercising the powers described in the foregoing paragraph, the Committee may adopt special or different rules for the operation of the Plan including, but not limited to, rules that allow employees of any foreign Subsidiary to participate in, and enjoy the tax benefits offered by, the Plan; provided that such rules shall not result in any grantees of options having different rights and/or privileges under the Plan in violation of Section 423 of the Code nor otherwise cause the Plan to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

11.3 Administrative Modifications

The Plan provisions relating to the administration of the Plan may be modified by the Committee from time to time as may be desirable to satisfy any requirements of or under the federal securities and/or other applicable laws of the United States, to obtain any exemption under such laws, or to reduce or eliminate any unfavorable legal, accounting or other consequences or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Committee.

SECTION 12. NUMBER OF SHARES

Subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 9, the number of Shares reserved for sale and authorized for issuance pursuant to the Rentrak Corporation 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is 200,000 Shares, and therefore, the number of Shares authorized for issuance pursuant to the Plan is the number of Shares specified above less the number of Shares issued pursuant to the Rentrak Corporation International Employee Stock Purchase Plan. If any option granted under the Plan shall for any reason terminate without having been exercised, the Shares not purchased under such option shall again become available for the Rentrak Corporation 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. If on a given Purchase Date, the number of Shares with respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds the number of Shares then available under the Plan, the Committee shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as shall be practical and as it shall determine to be equitable.

SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS

13.1 Restrictions on Transfer

Options granted under the Plan to a Participant may not be exercised during the Participant’s lifetime other than by the Participant. Neither amounts credited to a Participant’s Account nor any rights with respect to the exercise of an option or to receive stock under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any such attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw from the Plan in accordance with Section 8.1.

13.2 Administrative Assistance

If the Committee in its discretion so elects, it may retain a brokerage firm, bank, or other financial institution to assist in the purchase of Shares, delivery of reports, or other administrative aspects of the Plan. If the Committee so elects, each Participant shall (unless prohibited by applicable law) be deemed upon enrollment in the Plan to have authorized the establishment of an account on his or her behalf at such institution. Shares purchased by a Participant under the Plan shall be held in the Account in the Participant’s name, or if the Participant so indicates in the enrollment form, in the Participant’s name together with the name of his or her spouse in joint tenancy with right of survivorship or spousal community property, or in certain forms of trust approved by the Committee.

13.3 Treatment of Non-U.S. Participants

Participants who are employed by non-U.S. Designated Subsidiaries, who are paid in foreign currency, and who contribute foreign currency to the Plan through contributions or payroll deductions will have such contributions converted to U.S. dollars.

The exchange rate and method for such conversion will be determined as prescribed by the Committee. In no event will any procedure implemented for dealing with exchange rate fluctuations that may occur during an Offering Period result in a purchase price below the Purchase Price permitted under the Plan. Each Participant shall bear the risk of any currency exchange fluctuations (if applicable) between the date on which any Participant contributions are converted to U.S. dollars and the following Purchase Date.

13.4 Withholding

The Company or any Employer shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company or any member of the Employer, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan.

13.5 Equal Rights and Privileges

All Eligible Employees shall have equal rights and privileges with respect to the Plan so that the Plan qualifies as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 or any successor provision of the Code and the related regulations. Notwithstanding the express terms of the Plan, any provision of the Plan that is inconsistent with Section 423 or any successor provision of the Code shall without further act or amendment by the Company or the Committee be reformed to comply with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. This Section 13.5 shall take precedence over all other provisions in the Plan.

13.6 Applicable Law

The Plan shall be governed by the substantive laws (excluding the conflict of laws rules) of the State of Oregon.

13.7 Amendment and Termination

The Board may amend, alter, or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that (1) the Plan may not be amended in a way that will cause rights issued under the Plan to fail to meet the requirements of Section 423 of the Code; and (2) no amendment that would amend or modify the Plan in a manner requiring shareholder approval under Section 423 of the Code or the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Shares are traded shall be effective unless such shareholder approval is obtained. In addition, the Committee may amend the Plan as provided in Section 11.3, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 13.7.

If the Plan is terminated, the Committee may elect to terminate all outstanding options either prior to their expiration or upon completion of the purchase of Shares on the next Purchase Date, or may elect to permit options to expire in accordance with their terms (and participation to continue through such expiration dates). If the options are terminated prior to expiration, all funds accumulated in Participants’ Accounts as of the date the options are terminated shall be returned to the Participants as soon as administratively feasible.

13.8 No Right of Employment

Neither the grant nor the exercise of any rights to purchase Shares under this Plan nor anything in this Plan shall impose upon the Company or a member of the Employer any obligation to employ or continue to employ any Employee. The right of the Company or a member of the Employer to terminate any Employee shall not be diminished or affected because any rights to purchase Shares have been granted to such Employee.

13.9 Rights as Shareholder

No Participant shall have any rights as shareholder unless and until Shares have been issued to him or her.

13.10 Governmental Regulation

The Company’s obligation to sell and deliver Shares under this Plan is subject to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance, or sale of such Shares.

13.11 Gender

When used herein, masculine terms shall be deemed to include the feminine, except when the context indicates to the contrary.

13.12 Condition for Participation

As a condition to participation in the Plan, Eligible Employees agree to be bound by the terms of the Plan (including, without limitation, the notification and holding requirements of Section 7.5) and the determinations of the Committee.

SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS

Certain terms used in this Plan have the meanings set forth in Appendix A.

SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Initial Eligibility

Except as provided in Section 3.2, each Employee shall become eligible to participate in the Plan in accordance with Section 4 on the first Enrollment Date on or following the later of (a) the date on which such Employee completes six (6) months of continuous employment, or such shorter period determined appropriate by the Committee; and (b) the Effective Date. Participation in the Plan is entirely voluntary.

3.2 Limitations on Eligibility

The following Employees are not eligible to participate in the Plan:

(a)    Employees who have been continuously employed for fewer than six (6) months, or such shorter period determined appropriate by the Committee; and

(b)    Unless otherwise determined appropriate by the Committee, Employees whose customary employment is twenty (20) hours or less per week.

SECTION 4. ENROLLMENT

Any Eligible Employee may enroll in the Plan for any Offering Period by completing and signing an enrollment election form or by such other means as the Committee shall prescribe and submitting such enrollment election to the Company in accordance with procedures established by the Committee on or before the Cut-Off Date with respect to such Offering Period. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the enrollment election and the designated rate of payroll deduction shall continue for future Offering Periods unless the Participant changes or cancels the enrollment election or designated rate of payroll deduction prior to the Cut-Off Date.

SECTION 5. GRANT OF OPTIONS ON ENROLLMENT

5.1 Option Grant

Enrollment by an Eligible Employee in the Plan as of an Enrollment Date will constitute the grant by the Company to such Participant of an option on such Enrollment Date to purchase Shares from the Company pursuant to the Plan.

5.2 Option Expiration

An option granted to a Participant pursuant to this Plan shall expire, if not terminated for any reason first, on the earliest to occur of: (a) the end of the Offering Period in which such option was granted; (b) the completion of the purchase of Shares under the option under Section 7; or (c) the date on which participation of such Participant in the Plan terminates for any reason.

5.3 Purchase of Shares

An option granted to a Participant under the Plan shall give the Participant a right to purchase on a Purchase Date the largest number of whole Shares, as determined by the Committee, that the funds accumulated in the Participant’s Account as of such Purchase Date will purchase at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its discretion, limit the number of Shares purchased by each Participant in any Purchase Period.

SECTION 6. PAYMENT

The Committee may designate the time and manner for payment of Shares to be purchased during the Purchase Period, including, but not limited to, through payroll deductions from Compensation, the terms and conditions of which are designated by the Committee. Payment amounts shall be credited on a bookkeeping basis to a Participant’s Account under this Plan. All payment amounts may be used by the Company for any purpose and the Company shall have no obligation to segregate such funds. No interest accrues on payments by Participants.

SECTION 7. PURCHASE OF SHARES

7.1 Option Exercise

Any option held by the Participant that was granted under this Plan and that remains outstanding as of a Purchase Date shall be deemed to have been exercised on such Purchase Date for the number of whole Shares, as determined by the Committee, that the funds accumulated in the Participant’s Account as of the Purchase Date will purchase at the applicable Purchase Price (but not in excess of the number of Shares for which options have been granted to the Participant pursuant to Section 5.3). Options for other Shares for which options have been granted that are not purchased on the last Purchase Date during the Offering Period shall terminate. Shares shall not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed. As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Committee may require the person exercising such option to represent and warrant

at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares.

7.2 Refund of Excess Amount

If, after a Participant’s exercise of an option under Section 7.1, an amount remains credited to the Participant’s Account as of a Purchase Date, then the remaining amount shall be (a) if no further Purchase Periods are immediately contemplated by the Committee, distributed to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible, or (b) if another Purchase Period is contemplated by the Committee, carried forward in the Account for application to the purchase of Shares on the next following Purchase Date.

7.3 Employees of Subsidiary

In the case of Participants employed by a Designated Subsidiary, the Committee may provide for Shares to be sold through the Subsidiary to such Participants.

7.4 Pro Rata Allocation

If the total number of Shares for which options are or could be exercised on any Purchase Date in accordance with this Section 7, when aggregated with all Shares for which options have been previously exercised under this Plan, exceeds the maximum number of Shares reserved in Section 12, the Company may, in accordance with Section 12, allocate the Shares available for delivery and distribution in the ratio that the balance in each Participant’s Account bears to the aggregate balances of all Participants’ Accounts, and the remaining balance of the amount credited to the Account of each Participant under the Plan shall be returned to him or her as promptly as possible.

SECTION 8. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PLAN, TERMINATION

OF EMPLOYMENT, AND LEAVE OF ABSENCE

8.1 Withdrawal From The Plan

A Participant may withdraw all funds accumulated in the Participant’s Account from the Plan during any Purchase Period by delivering a notice of withdrawal to the Company or the Employer (in a manner prescribed by the Committee) at any time up to but not including the thirty (30) days prior to the Purchase Date next following the date such notice of withdrawal is delivered, or at such shorter time in advance of such Purchase Date as the Committee may permit. If notice of complete withdrawal as described in the preceding sentence is timely received, all funds then accumulated in the Participant’s Account shall not be used to purchase Shares, but shall instead be distributed to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible and the Company or the Employer will cease the Participant’s payroll withholding for the Plan in accordance with timing and other procedures established by the Committee. An Employee who has withdrawn during a Purchase Period may not return funds to the Company or the Employer during the same Purchase Period and require the Company or the Employer to apply those funds to the purchase of Shares. Any Eligible Employee who has withdrawn from the Plan may, however, re-enroll in the Plan on the next subsequent Enrollment Date, if any.

8.2 Termination of Participation

Participation in the Plan terminates immediately on the date on which a Participant ceases to be employed by the Company or the Employer for any reason whatsoever or otherwise ceases to be an Eligible Employee, and all funds then accumulated in the Participant’s Account shall not be used to purchase Shares, but shall instead be distributed to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible.

8.3 Leaves of Absence

If a Participant takes a leave of absence, such Participant shall have the right, in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Committee, to elect to withdraw from the Plan in accordance with Section 8.1. To the extent determined by the Committee, certain leaves of absence may be treated as cessations of employment for purposes of the Plan.

SECTION 9. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION,

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION, MERGER OR ASSET SALE

9.1 Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization

Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the right to purchase Shares of Common Stock covered by a current Offering Period and the number of Shares that have been authorized for issuance under the Plan for any future Offering Period, the maximum number of Shares each Participant may purchase each Offering Period (pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof), as well as the price per Share and the number of Shares covered by each right under the Plan that have not yet been purchased shall be proportionately adjusted in the sole discretion of the Committee for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, or any other increase or decrease in the number of Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. Except as expressly provided otherwise by the Committee, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares.

9.2 Adjustments Upon Dissolution, Liquidation, Merger or Sale of Assets

Without limitation on the preceding provisions, in the event of any dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s outstanding voting securities, sales, lease, exchange or other transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or any similar transaction as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the Committee may make such adjustment it deems appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights in the number and class of Shares that may be delivered under Section 12, in the number, class of or price of Shares available for purchase under the Plan and in the number of Shares that a Participant is entitled to purchase and any other adjustments it deems appropriate. Without limiting the Committee’s authority under this Plan, in the event of any such transaction, the Committee may elect to have the options hereunder assumed or such options substituted by a successor entity, to terminate all outstanding options either prior to their expiration or upon completion of the purchase of Shares on the next Purchase Date, to shorten the Offering Period by setting a new Purchase Date, or to take such other action deemed appropriate by the Committee.

SECTION 10. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY

Each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom the amount in his or her Account is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Committee during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, any Account balance remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.

SECTION 11. ADMINISTRATION

11.1 Administration by Committee

The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have the authority to delegate duties to officers, directors or employees of the Company.

11.2 Authority of Committee

The Committee shall have the full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe and interpret the Plan and options granted under it; to establish, amend, and revoke rules and regulations for administration of the Plan (including, without limitation, the determination and change of Offering Periods, Purchase Periods and payment procedures, the requirement that Shares be held by a specified broker, and the establishment of the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars); to determine all questions of eligibility, disputed claims and policy that may arise in the administration of the Plan; to make any changes to the Plan or its operations to reduce or eliminate any unfavorable legal, accounting or other consequences to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee; and, generally, to exercise such powers and perform such acts as the Committee deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company, including, but not limited to, designating from time to time which Subsidiaries of the Company shall be part of the Employer. The Committee’s determinations as to the interpretation and operation of this Plan shall be final and conclusive and each action of the Committee

shall be binding on all persons. The Committee may adopt special or different rules for the operation of the Plan for different Participants, including, but not limited to, rules designed to accommodate the practices of the applicable jurisdiction.

11.3 Administrative Modification

The Plan provisions relating to the administration of the Plan may be modified by the Committee from time to time as may be desirable to satisfy any requirements of or under the securities or other applicable laws of the United States or other jurisdiction, to obtain any exemption under such laws, or to reduce or eliminate any unfavorable legal, accounting or other consequences or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Committee.

SECTION 12. NUMBER OF SHARES

Subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 9, the number of Shares are reserved for sale and authorized for issuance pursuant to the Rentrak Corporation 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is 200,000 Shares, and therefore, the number of Shares authorized for issuance pursuant to the Plan is the number of Shares specified above less the number of Shares issued pursuant to the Rentrak Corporation U.S. Employee Stock Purchase Plan. If any option granted under the Plan shall for any reason terminate without having been exercised, the Shares not purchased under such option shall again become available for the Rentrak Corporation 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. If on a given Purchase Date, the number of Shares with respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds the number of Shares then available under the Plan, the Committee shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as shall be practical and as it shall determine to be equitable.

SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS

13.1 Restrictions on Transfer

Options granted under the Plan to a Participant may not be exercised during the Participant’s lifetime other than by the Participant. Neither amounts credited to a Participant’s Account nor any rights with respect to the exercise of an option or to receive stock under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any such attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw from the Plan in accordance with Section 8.1.

13.2 Administrative Assistance

If the Committee in its discretion so elects, it may retain a brokerage firm, bank, or other financial institution to assist in the purchase of Shares, delivery of reports, or other administrative aspects of the Plan. If the Committee so elects, each Participant shall (unless prohibited by applicable law) be deemed upon enrollment in the Plan to have authorized the establishment of an account on his or her behalf at such institution. Shares purchased by a Participant under the Plan shall be held in the Account in the Participant’s name, or if the Participant so indicates in the enrollment form, in the Participant’s name together with the name of his or her spouse in joint tenancy with right of survivorship or spousal community property, or in certain forms of trust approved by the Committee.

13.3 Treatment of Non-U.S. Participants

Participants who are employed by non-U.S. Designated Subsidiaries, who are paid in foreign currency, and who contribute foreign currency to the Plan through contributions or payroll deductions will have such contributions converted to U.S. dollars. The exchange rate and method for such conversion will be determined as prescribed by the Committee. Each Participant shall bear the risk of any currency exchange fluctuations (if applicable) between the date on which any Participant contributions are converted to U.S. dollars and the following Purchase Date.

13.4 Withholding

The Company or any Employer shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company or any member of the Employer, an amount sufficient to satisfy taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan.

13.5 Applicable Law

The Plan shall be governed by the substantive laws (excluding the conflict of laws rules) of the State of Oregon.

13.6 Amendment and Termination

The Board may amend, alter, or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that no amendment that would amend or modify the Plan in a manner requiring shareholder approval under the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Shares are traded shall be effective unless such shareholder approval is obtained. In addition, the Committee may amend the Plan as provided in Section 11.3, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 13.6.

If the Plan is terminated, the Committee may elect to terminate all outstanding options either prior to their expiration or upon completion of the purchase of Shares on the next Purchase Date, or may elect to permit options to expire in accordance with their terms (and participation to continue through such expiration dates). If the options are terminated prior to expiration, all funds accumulated in Participants’ Accounts as of the date the options are terminated shall be returned to the Participants as soon as administratively feasible.

13.7 No Right of Employment

Neither the grant nor the exercise of any rights to purchase Shares under this Plan nor anything in this Plan shall impose upon the Company or a member of the Employer any obligation to employ or continue to employ any Employee. The right of the Company or a member of the Employer to terminate any Employee shall not be diminished or affected because any rights to purchase Shares have been granted to such Employee.

13.8 Rights as Shareholder

No Participant shall have any rights as shareholder unless and until Shares have been issued to him or her.

13.9 Governmental Regulation

The Company’s obligation to sell and deliver Shares under this Plan is subject to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance, or sale of such Shares.

13.10 Gender

When used herein, masculine terms shall be deemed to include the feminine, except when the context indicates to the contrary.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Rentrak Corporation have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 (“Fiscal 2015”). The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”).

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Certain reclassifications, primarily related to the presentation of discontinued operations, have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Rentrak Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and those entities in which we have a controlling interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In Fiscal 2012, we established a Chinese joint venture, Sinotrak, and hold a 49% ownership interest in this variable interest entity (the “VIE”). Sinotrak has been included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, given our significant influence over day to day operations, among other factors. To date, the activities of Sinotrak have been limited primarily to initial cash contributions from both joint venture parties and costs associated with Sinotrak’s formation. The equity interests of the noncontrolling party, totaling $0.8 million as of September 30, 2014, are reported as a noncontrolling interest in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The noncontrolling party’s share of the expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, are included in “Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Subsequent Events

We have considered all events that have occurred subsequent to September 30, 2014 and through the date of this filing and, except as set forth below, determined that no additional disclosure is required.

On October 8, 2014, we entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire the U.S. television measurement business of WPP’s Kantar business unit (a unit of Competitive Media Reporting, LLC (“Seller”), an affiliate of WPP plc). The agreement consists of customer contracts and relationships in the U.S. television measurement market.

In consideration for the purchase, we agreed to assume specified liabilities of the Seller, and to issue 1,526,790 shares of our unregistered common stock. Based on the closing price of our common stock on October 8, 2014, the shares have an approximate value of $98.5 million.

The closing of the asset purchase agreement is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is anticipated to be completed by the end of calendar 2014.

On October 8, 2014, we also entered into a stock purchase agreement with WPP Luxembourg Gamma Three S.à r.l., an affiliate of WPP plc (“WPP Luxembourg”). Pursuant to this agreement, we agreed to issue and sell to WPP Luxembourg, at the time of and contingent upon the closing of the asset purchase agreement, 948,834 shares of unregistered common stock in exchange for $55.8 million in cash.

New Accounting Guidance

New Accounting Guidance

ASU 2014-09

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We are evaluating our existing revenue recognition policies to determine whether any contracts in the scope of the guidance will be affected by the new requirements. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein.

ASU 2014-08

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment” (“ASU 2014-08”). ASU 2014-08 amends the guidance related to reporting for discontinued operations. The amended guidance requires the assets and liabilities of a disposal group be separately presented in the asset and liability sections, respectively, of the statement of financial position. ASU 2014-08 is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and early adoption is permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-08 effective as of March 31, 2014, and our adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Disclosures

6 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2014

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures

Fair Value Disclosures

We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities as follows:

• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

• Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and

• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs, including our own assumptions in determining fair value.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Following are the disclosures related to our financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2014			March 31, 2014
	Fair Value		Input Level	Fair Value		Input Level
Available-for-sale marketable securities
Fixed-income securities	$	18,833	Level 1	$	16,868	Level 1

The fair value of our “available-for-sale” marketable securities is determined based on quoted market prices for identical securities on a quarterly basis. There were no changes to our valuation methodologies during the first six months of Fiscal 2015.

See Note 6 for disclosures related to the fair value determination for the contingent consideration liability associated with our acquisition of iTVX, which is a Level 3 liability. There were no changes to our valuation techniques during the first six months of Fiscal 2015.

Marketable securities, all of which were classified as “available-for-sale” at September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2014			March 31, 2014

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rates are determined by excluding certain jurisdictions with net losses. Our tax provision for the first six months of Fiscal 2015 was 21.0% due to the effect of allocations to discontinued operations. Without these allocations, the provision would have been substantially lower due to the offset of both net operating losses and the valuation allowance on deferred taxes.

Our effective tax rate for the first six months of Fiscal 2014 was a benefit of 27.0%, in part due to allocation to discontinued operations previously described as well as the reduction of our valuation allowance due to the acquisition of deferred tax liabilities as part of our acquisition of iTVX in August 2013.

Business Combinations [Abstract]

Acquisition of iTVX, Inc (iTVX)

Acquisition of iTVX, Inc. (“iTVX”)

In August 2013, we acquired the outstanding stock of iTVX, a provider of branded entertainment analytics, insight and research, for $2.8 million. iTVX is reported as a component of TV Essentials^® and expands our product and service offerings. We made an initial payment of approximately $0.8 million, of which $383,000 was paid in cash and $405,000 was paid with 17,209 shares of our common stock. The acquisition also includes contingent consideration which, if earned, will be paid in January 2016, and is based on future revenue achieved after the completion of approximately 2 years. The range of the undiscounted amounts we could pay under the contingent consideration arrangement is between $0.5 million and $7.0 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date was $2.0 million. The contingent consideration payment will be paid in the form of cash (25% of the total contingent consideration) and shares of our common stock (75% of the total contingent consideration).

We estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration using a beta probability distribution approach. Acquisition related contingent consideration liabilities are classified as Level 3 liabilities because we use unobservable inputs to value them, reflecting our assessment of the assumptions market participants would use to value these liabilities. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements are recorded as income or expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2014, the fair value of the estimated contingent consideration arrangement, as well as the related expense, increased by $0.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The increase was a result of an increase in the value of our common stock price and has been included in selling, general and administrative expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The common stock portion of the contingent consideration arrangement has a fixed price of $21.795 per share, and any fluctuation in our common stock price above or below this amount will affect the fair value of the payment and our results of operations. The fair value of the estimated contingent consideration as of September 30, 2014, was $4.8 million and is included in accrued compensation, long-term in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In allocating the purchase price consideration based on fair values, we recorded $0.9 million of acquired intangible assets with useful lives of 1 to 6 years, $1.9 million of goodwill, $0.3 million of net tangible assets and $0.3 million of deferred tax liabilities. The goodwill recorded in connection with this business combination is primarily related to the synergies to be achieved that are unique to our business.

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, we included $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in revenue and $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in net losses related to iTVX since the acquisition date, excluding the adjustment for the contingent consideration as a result of the increase in our common stock price as noted above. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred amortization expense of $46,000 and $92,000, respectively, relating to the intangible assets acquired, which is included in selling and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued Operations

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2014, we initiated our plan to sell our PPT^® business, which has been a longstanding legacy business of Rentrak and a significant component of the Home Entertainment operating division. Had we decided to retain the line, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, it would have represented 22.5% and 39.5%, respectively, of our total revenue, and for the six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, it would have represented 25.1% and 40.8%, respectively, of our total revenue. Our PPT^® business has been in a state of decline due to the decline of physical DVD rentals from retail stores. This strategic decision to sell PPT^® will enable us to focus more fully on the growth of our media measurement business and advanced consumer targeting business. Accordingly, we have restated our financial results, and the PPT^® business is reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
