RENTRAK’S PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS REDUCED BY $0.02 PER SHARE TO REFLECT

REVERSAL OF ONE-TIME, NON-CASH ADJUSTMENT

 

– No Impact on Previously Announced Revenues or Cash Flows –

 

PORTLAND, Ore. (February 9, 2007)—Rentrak Corp. (Nasdaq:RENT) today filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission an 8-K revising the company’s previously announced financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006.

The company’s preliminary third quarter results, announced on February 6, 2007, included a non-cash adjustment that had a one-time effect of reducing selling and administrative expenses by $362,000 and increasing net income, net of tax, by $218,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the fiscal quarter.

To determine the appropriate accounting treatment of this non-cash adjustment in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), management proactively initiated extensive discussions with members of the company’s Audit Committee and representatives of the company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and received concurrence.

However, on February 8, 2007, the company’s independent registered public accounting firm, after additional analysis, reversed their position and recommended a different accounting treatment than originally agreed upon.

Accordingly, the company’s interim financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006, filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission under cover of Form 10-Q, reflect reversal of the one-time, non-cash adjustment, resulting in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.08, rather than the $0.10 previously reported on February 6, 2007.

Rentrak Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Paul Rosenbaum noted, “We take very seriously our responsibility to provide investors with timely and accurate financial results in accordance with GAAP. The reversal of this non-cash adjustment had no effect on previously reported revenues or cash flows and management does not believe that there will be any effect on future results of operations, nor any impact on the company’s business activities.”

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2006, and unaudited condensed consolidated income statements for the periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, reflect the effects of reversing the adjustment referenced above.
