SEATTLE, Nov. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- RealNetworks, Inc. (Nasdaq: RNWK), a leader in personal digital entertainment, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.

For the third quarter of 2015, revenue was $30.8 million.  Excluding revenue from the Slingo and social casino games business, which was sold during the third quarter of 2015, revenue was $29.8 million, compared to $31.8 million in the previous quarter and $32.7 million in the third quarter of 2014.

"Our RealTimes go-to-market strategy to leverage mobile carriers and other partners is gaining traction," said Rob Glaser, Chairman and CEO of RealNetworks. "Our new collaboration with Verizon, the largest mobile service provider in North America, is a major step forward that will drive both revenue and distribution for RealTimes."

"At the same time, we're taking steps to cut costs and rebalance our resources to focus on our best and most leveraged opportunities. During the third quarter, we completed the sale of the Slingo and social casino games business. Last week, we implemented a plan to significantly reduce operating expenses and cash burn by moving off of legacy e-commerce platforms, and we're taking other steps to refocus the RealPlayer and RealTimes teams going forward."

"Additionally, we will continue to reinvest in our Casual Games business, which grew 15% sequentially, driven by the success of our Delicious franchise. We are also pleased with continued growth at the Rhapsody music service, in which we play a significant role and have a large ownership stake."

GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2015 was $(21.2) million or $(0.59) per diluted share, compared to $(22.2) million or $(0.62) per diluted share in the third quarter of 2014. GAAP results for the third quarter of 2015 include $5.2 million severance, restructuring and lease exit charges related to the Company's ongoing cost reduction efforts.  Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2015 was a loss of $(12.2) million, compared to $(14.4) million for the third quarter of 2014. A reconciliation of GAAP operating income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA is provided in the financial tables that accompany this release.

As of September 30, 2015, the company had $112.2 million in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, comparable to its position as of June 30, 2015. During the third quarter, the Company received $10.0 million from the sale of the Slingo and social casino games business, with the remaining $8.0 million due in coming years.  The Company also received $5.2 million from Rhapsody for the full repayment of a loan, plus interest.

Business Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2015, RealNetworks expects total revenue in the range of $26 million to $29 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss for the fourth quarter in the range of $(5.0) million to $(8.0) million.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 adjusted EBITDA 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 operating income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA and to adjusted EBITDA 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 RealNetworks' current expectations regarding future revenue and adjusted EBITDA, our future growth, profitability, and market position, our strategic focus and initiatives, agreements with partners, and the growth and future prospects relating to our Rhapsody affiliate. 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 RealNetworks' expectations as of today, and actual results may differ materially from the results predicted. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results predicted include: RealNetworks' ability to realize operating efficiencies, growth and other benefits from the implementation of its growth plan, strategic initiatives, and restructuring efforts; the emergence of new entrants and competition in the market for digital media products and services; other competitive risks, including the growth of competing technologies, products and services; the potential outcomes and effects of claims and legal proceedings on RealNetworks' business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations; risks associated with key customer or strategic relationships, business acquisitions and the introduction of new products and services; changes in consumer and advertising spending in response to disruptions in the global financial markets; fluctuations in foreign currencies; and changes in RealNetworks' effective tax rate. More information about potential risk factors that could affect RealNetworks' business and financial results is included in RealNetworks' annual report on Form 10-K for the most recent year ended December 31, 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 RealNetworks' financial statements and forward-looking financial guidance requires the company 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. The company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or information, which are in effect as of their respective dates.
