      SEATTLE, Feb. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- RealNetworks, Inc. (Nasdaq: RNWK), an emerging leader in AI-based software and solutions, today announced its financial results* for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021.

      • 2021 revenue of $58.2 million, net loss attributable to RealNetworks of $(21.2) million and Adjusted EBITDA loss of $(13.8) million
      • Continued revenue growth in 2021 for the Company's AI-based businesses with 44% growth in SAFR™ and 14% growth in KONTXT
      • Strong balance sheet with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $27.1 million and no debt as of December 31, 2021

      Management Commentary
      "In 2021, we continued our strategic transformation to an AI/Machine Learning based company and grew SAFR by 44 percent and KONTXT by 14 percent. At the same time, our overall financial performance did not meet our expectations. We have moved to align our AI products and investments with the biggest growth opportunities in front of us," said Rob Glaser, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of RealNetworks.

      "Additionally, we brought in an outstanding new leader for our Games business who has hit the ground running. We believe that GameHouse will drive meaningful growth in 2023 and beyond."

      Glaser concluded: "Putting it all together, we expect that the growth of our AI initiatives will accelerate in 2022, and that our Games business will do so in 2023. As a result, we believe our company will achieve double digit revenue growth in 2022, excluding Games."

      • 2021 Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $(13.8) million compared to Adjusted EBITDA loss of $(8.6) million in the prior year.
      • At December 31, 2021, the Company had $27.1 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, compared to $23.9 million at December 31, 2020.

      About Continuing and Discontinued Operations and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
      *This release refers to "continuing" and "discontinued" operations due to the completion of the sale of Napster, RealNetworks' 84%-owned subsidiary, to MelodyVR Group PLC, which closed on December 30, 2020. Effective as of the August 25, 2020 announcement date, Napster has been treated as a discontinued operation for accounting and disclosure purposes; therefore, unless otherwise noted, results presented in this release relate to the continuing operations of RealNetworks, which exclude Napster.

      To supplement RealNetworks' consolidated financial information presented in accordance with GAAP in this press release, the company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA and contribution margin by reportable segment, which management believes provide investors with useful information.

      In the financial tables of our earnings press release, RealNetworks has included reconciliations of GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations to adjusted EBITDA and operating income (loss) by reportable segment to contribution margin by reportable segment.

      The rationale for management's use of non-GAAP measures is included in the supplementary materials presented with the quarterly earnings materials.  Please refer to Exhibit 99.2 ("Information Regarding Non- GAAP Financial Measures") to the company's report on Form 8-K, which is being submitted today to the SEC.

      Forward-Looking Statements
      This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements relating to our current expectations regarding our future growth, profitability, and market position, our financial condition and liquidity, our strategic focus and initiatives, product plans, agreements with partners, Scener's current and future activities, and certain remaining contingencies relating to the sale of Napster. All statements contained in this press release that do not relate to matters of historical fact should be considered forward- looking statements.  These statements reflect our expectations as of today, and actual results may differ materially from the results predicted. Factors that could cause actual results for RealNetworks, on a consolidated basis, to differ from the results predicted include: our ability to realize operating efficiencies, growth and other benefits from the implementation of our growth initiatives and restructuring efforts; cash usage and conservation, and the pursuit of additional funding sources; successful monetization of our products and services; competitive risks, including the emergence or growth of competing technologies, products and services; issues with the use of AI; potential outcomes and effects of claims and legal proceedings; risks associated with key customer or strategic relationships and business acquisitions and dispositions; challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; disruptions in the global financial markets, including changes in consumer spending and impacts to credit availability, and fluctuations in foreign currencies; volatility of our stock price; material asset impairment; continued declines in subscription revenue; difficulty recruiting and retaining key personnel; regulatory, tax, accounting, and cross-border risks; and risks related to our governance structure. More information about potential risk factors that could affect our business and financial results is included in RealNetworks' latest annual report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2020, its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and in other reports and documents filed by RealNetworks from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of our financial statements and forward- looking financial guidance requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. RealNetworks assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or information, which are in effect as of their respective dates.
