RealNetworks Announces Second Quarter 2009 Results

SEATTLE, July 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital entertainment services
company RealNetworks(R), Inc. (Nasdaq: RNWK) today announced results for the
second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Quarterly Highlights:
-- Revenue of $135.7 million
-- Net loss of $(188.3) million or $(1.40) per share
-- Adjusted EBITDA of $4.1 million

-- Cash and short term investments of $362.8 million as of June 30, 2009

"In spite of a difficult consumer environment, our business remained
relatively stable in the second quarter," said Rob Glaser, RealNetworks'
Chairman and CEO. "Looking forward, even though we expect the economy to
remain weak, we expect to show sequential improvement in the second half of
the year, based in part on new products such as our innovative RealPlayer SP."

Second Quarter Results

For the second quarter of 2009, revenue was $135.7 million, a decrease of 11%,
compared with $152.6 million in the second quarter of 2008. Foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations negatively affected 2009 second quarter revenue by
approximately $6.3 million compared with the year-ago quarter. Excluding the
effects of these foreign exchange rate changes, revenue declined 7% year over
year. Revenue trends in each of Real's businesses in the second quarter of
2009, including the effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes,
compared with the year-earlier quarter were: a 9% increase in Music revenue to
$40.5 million, offset by a 10% decrease in Technology Products and Solutions
revenue to $46.2 million, a 15% decrease in Games revenue to $29.8 million,
and a 34% decrease in Media Software and Services revenue to $19.3 million.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2009 was $(188.3) million, or $(1.40) per
share, compared with a net loss of $(1.3) million, or $(0.01) per share, in
the second quarter of 2008. Included in the second quarter 2009 net loss were
non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $175.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA for
the second quarter of 2009 was $4.1 million compared with $17.4 million in the
second quarter of 2008. A reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted
EBITDA is provided in the financial tables that accompany this release.

Gross margin was 59% in the second quarter of 2009 compared with 64% in the
second quarter of 2008. Income tax provision was $(1.2) million in the second
quarter of 2009, compared with $(3.7) million in the year-earlier period.
Interest income in the second quarter of 2009 was $754,000 compared with $3.4
million in the year-earlier period.

As of June 30, 2009, Real had approximately $362.8 million in unrestricted
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, of which nearly 90% is
located in the U.S. In addition, Real had approximately $37 million in
restricted cash and equity investments at June 30, 2009.

Business Outlook
Due to the high level of uncertainty regarding consumer spending, global
economic trends, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and credit
markets, RealNetworks is not providing quantitative guidance. The company
expects 2009 to continue to be a challenging year for consumer spending,
online advertising and corporate infrastructure spending.

For the third quarter of 2009, Real expects overall revenue to increase
sequentially but to decline year-over-year. Sequentially, the company expects
revenue to be flat or increase in each of our segments. Compared with the
year-ago third quarter, Real expects third-quarter Media Software and Services
revenue to be flat, and revenue in Music, Games and Technology Products and
Solutions to decline.

The foregoing forward-looking statements reflect Real's expectations as of
July 30, 2009. It is not Real's general practice to update these
forward-looking statements until its next quarterly results announcement.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement RealNetworks' condensed consolidated financial statements
presented in accordance with GAAP in this press release, the company also
discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted revenue,
adjusted EBITDA excluding impairments, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA by
reporting segment, adjusted cost of revenue and adjusted operating expenses,
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) to adjusted EBITDA, to
adjusted EBITDA excluding impairments, and to adjusted EBITDA by reporting
segment; GAAP cost of revenue to adjusted cost of revenue; and GAAP operating
expenses to adjusted operating expenses for the relevant periods.

The rationale for management's use of non-GAAP measures is included in the
supplementary materials presented with the second quarter earnings materials,
available in 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 Real's current expectations for future revenue and other financial results,
future success of Real's new products, continued weakness of the economy, and
future trends in consumer and corporate infrastructure spending and online
advertising. All statements contained in this press release that do not
relate to matters of historical fact should be considered forward-looking
statements. Actual results may differ materially from the results predicted.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results predicted
include: fluctuations in foreign currencies; the potential outcomes and
effects of claims and legal proceedings, including those relating to Real DVD
and the ongoing VeriSign arbitration, on Real's business prospects, financial
condition or results of operations; development and consumer acceptance of
legal online music distribution services generally and RealNetworks' content
services in particular because these are relatively new and unproven business
models and markets; the potential that Real will be unable to continue to
enter into commercially attractive agreements with third parties for the
provision of compelling content for its subscription service offerings and the
distribution of Real's carrier application services; the emergence of new
entrants and competition in the market for digital media subscription
offerings, online music sales and downloadable casual games; competitive
risks, including the emergence or growth of competing technologies, products
and services; risks associated with 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; risks inherent in
strategic relationships, especially with competitors, and with respect to
technology and service integration efforts; and risks relating to the ability
of Real's strategic partners to generate subscribers for Real's digital
content services. 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 the
reported amounts of 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.
