Rentrak FY2007 Net Income and Earnings Per Share Increase 35 Percent on 13 Percent Revenue Growth- Company Expands Multi-Screen Media Measurement Services to Include Mobile and TV Set Top Box Tracking -

PORTLAND, Ore., June 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rentrak Corp. today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

Fourth Quarter Results

Fourth quarter net income increased five percent to $1.7 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared with $1.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in last year's comparable period. Fourth quarter revenues of $28.3 million were nearly equal to last year's fourth quarter revenues of $28.4 million. Fourth quarter PPT segment revenues totaled $23.8 million, a decrease of four percent compared with $24.8 million in last year's comparable period. On a sequential basis, PPT revenues increased three percent compared with $23.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, reflecting a comparable slate of titles and steady consumer demand for rental and purchase of titles offered under revenue-sharing terms. Fourth quarter AMI segment revenues increased 23.5 percent to $4.4 million, compared with $3.6 million in last year's fourth fiscal quarter.

Selling and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter totaled $6.9 million, or 23.7 percent of revenue, compared with $6.3 million, or 22.3 percent of revenue, in last year's fourth quarter and $6.3 million, or 23.4 percent of revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The increased year-over-year spending is related primarily to the company's continuing development, enhancement and marketing of its Essentials Suite(TM) services, together with incremental non-cash, stock-based compensation expenses of approximately $197,000 related to the company's April 1, 2006 adoption of SFAS 123(R).

Fourth quarter operating income of $2.4 million improved 10.7 percent from $2.2 million in last year's fourth quarter.

Fiscal 2007 Results

Net income for fiscal year 2007 increased 35.4 percent to $6.0 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, compared with net income of $4.5 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in fiscal 2006. Fiscal year 2007 revenues totaled $106.0 million, a 13.5 percent increase over fiscal 2006 revenues of $93.4 million, and above the company's previous revenue guidance of at least $100 million. Fiscal year 2007 PPT segment revenues increased 11.4 percent to $90.6 million compared with $81.3 million in fiscal 2006, benefiting from a strong slate of available titles and strong consumer demand for rental and purchase of titles offered under revenue-sharing terms. Fiscal year 2007 AMI segment revenues increased 27.4 percent to $15.4 million, compared with $12.1 million in fiscal 2006.

Selling and administrative expenses totaled $24.9 million, or 23.5 percent of revenue, compared with $22.2 million, or 23.8 percent of revenue, in fiscal 2006. The increased year-over-year spending related primarily to the company's continuing development, enhancement and marketing of its Essentials Suite(TM) services, together with incremental non-cash, stock-based compensation expenses of approximately $856,000.

Full fiscal year 2007 operating income improved 41.8 percent to $8.6 million from $6.0 million in fiscal 2006.

Rentrak Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Paul Rosenbaum commented, "Fiscal year 2007 was an outstanding year for Rentrak, as our Essentials Suite(TM) of services gained important new customers and our multi-screen media measurement strategy demonstrated great promise. Revenues climbed comfortably above $100 million driven by double digit growth in our PPT and AMI divisions, while income from operations of $8.6 million and net income of $6.0 million were the highest in the past five years.

"Over the past year, we've continued to establish strong new relationships with leading cable MSOs, added new customers in our PPT and AMI segments, opened up new opportunities, and in May announced our move into the mobile TV platform through an agreement with HiWire."

Rosenbaum continued, "Rentrak has come a long way over the past five years by following a deliberate and methodical strategy. We've leveraged our proprietary data management and reporting technologies, added seasoned executives from key industry segments and carefully nurtured relationships of trust based on performance to create paths into new segments.

"Our success over the past two years with OnDemand Essentials(TM) has demonstrated our census-level capabilities to the broader television industry and opened doors into conventional television where $68 billion is spent annually on advertising and $2 billion on research. Rentrak is collecting TV data from set top boxes and testing its new TV Essentials service that tracks and reports anonymous second-by-second viewership information on programs and advertising. We believe our ability to capture TV viewership data at these levels of detail across tens of millions of set top boxes covering hundreds of channels and geographic markets is an incredibly important point of differentiation for Rentrak. The doors to TV would have been out of Rentrak's reach had we not invested time and capital to develop strong relationships of trust in the on-demand market."

Rosenbaum continued, "We believe more strongly than ever that Rentrak's multi-screen media measurement strategy is perfectly timed to capitalize on the powerful industry trends toward increased media fragmentation and measurement complexity. The media measurement company that positions itself to help industry leaders build successful new media business models around new distribution platforms will find itself in a very favorable position. We intend to make Rentrak that media measurement company.

"Rentrak's vision is to become the most reliable and trusted independent provider of timely, cross-platform media measurement and analytics in the multi-screen, digital world. We're working closely with industry leaders to design new services that track and report entertainment and advertising consumption on a timely basis across all platforms and at a level of detail that was never before possible.

"The trusted relationships we've built with our current data providers and customers, combined with our proprietary IT capabilities, give us what we believe to be a lead of several years over our nearest competitor, and each new vertical platform we address with a new service maintains or extends that lead. Our proprietary IT capabilities are designed to be quickly adaptable to address the information demands of new platforms with minimum incremental investment.

"Therefore, in fiscal year 2008 we'll continue to increase the use of our cash flow to develop services that track viewership of media distributed over mobile networks, broadband and on TV. Only by continuing to invest will Rentrak be positioned to realize its vision of offering the industry the most complete, most reliable, most accurate, and most timely cross-platform information accessible through a single, interactive, easy-to-use portal that makes analysis faster, more insightful and more actionable."

Rosenbaum concluded, "Everything we envisioned five years ago about how the media market would change with the advent of digital distribution is coming true. At that time, we had a core set of tools that we knew could be expanded to address the needs of the industry as it began to explore multiple new platforms. We made a commitment to develop new services so they would be ready for our customers when their digital, multi-platform distribution models materialized. Today, that's just beginning to happen, and the investments we've made over the past five years are enabling us to offer equally sophisticated media measurement technologies. As digital distribution platforms evolve and gain consumer acceptance, we believe that our Essentials Suite of services have the potential to produce substantial annual revenues and generate a significant return to our investors."

Rockford Fosgate Mustang Package Rocks StangNet.com's New GT500 Project Adding PUNCH(R) to the Ultimate Pony Car

TEMPE, Ariz., June 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rockford Corporation today announced its collaboration with StangNet.com and Classic Design Concepts (CDC) to bring a high performance audio package solution to StangNet's latest flagship project car, a fully built and very bold new Shelby GT500 Mustang.

"The Glassback GT500 grabs attention at every level, from its hand-styled exterior treatments to the high performance modifications lurking between the wheel wells. Bringing the audio system up to speed was a logical next move" Said George Huisman, President of Classic Design Concepts. To achieve this goal, StangNet.com and CDC contacted the experts at Rockford Fosgate, the leader in high performance mobile audio for over 25 years.

Rockford Fosgate's Mustang Audio Package was designed to provide second-to-none audio performance and compliment the overall needs and styling of StangNet's GT500. Rockford Fosgate began with clear goals set for the audio treatments; A front sound stage with impact, crystal clear and detailed high frequency reproduction and bass performance synonymous with our Rockford Fosgate sonic signature. To achieve these goals, a system design was created with requirements for 8-inch door woofers, front and rear 6.5-inch full-range component speakers, a long-throw 12-inch subwoofer and 2 Kilowatts of power.

Focusing first on the front stage in the car, Rockford Fosgate provided a pair of P2D48 8-inch woofers, powered by a new T400-2 Power series amplifier generating 400-watts. P162S 6.5-inch component speakers were then installed into the front and rear factory locations. Front and rear component speakers come alive via Rockford's legendary Power1000 amplifier, a single chassis 5- channel 1,400-watt flagship model that celebrates our 25 years of success. With only the need for heart-stopping bass remaining, a P2D412 PUNCH long-throw 12-inch subwoofer was loaded into a custom molded enclosure and mounted in the passenger side trunk area with a matching amplifier rack located on the driver side. The 5th channel of the Power1000 amplifier was tasked with creating the 600-watts needed for the subwoofer to dish out the boom.

"The final result of this GT500 project is nothing short of amazing". Said Joe Dahlquist, OEM Marketing Specialist for Rockford Corporation. "The components selected and their application provided a sound system that perfectly compliments the car, killer looks and killer performance. Who says you can't have the best of both worlds?"

The StangNet.com Shelby GT500 will be displayed at the Mid American Shelby & Ford meet in Tulsa, OK. June 14th to 17th and is also scheduled for SEMA in the Fall of 2007.

Trend Micro Tackles Web Threats With Enterprise Desktop Security SolutionLatest version of Trend Micro(TM) OfficeScan(TM) extends protection beyond the corporate network with innovative Web reputation technology

CUPERTINO, Calif., June 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trend Micro Incorporated , a leader in network antivirus and content security software and services, today announced the availability of the latest edition of its corporate desktop security solution, Trend Micro(TM) OfficeScan(TM) 8.0. The first corporate solution to have the new Web reputation technology blended into its functionality, OfficeScan 8.0 is also the first corporate desktop security solution to be awarded Microsoft(TM) Windows Vista certification. The solution provides greater protection against Web threats through the addition of Web Security Rating and enhanced anti-spyware technology.

OfficeScan 8.0 provides businesses a powerful layer of protection against multiple types of attack, including file-based malware, spyware, viruses, rootkits and network attacks such as hacking attempts. With mobile users often connecting to the Internet from remote connections such as airports, hotels and cafes, OfficeScan 8.0 extends protection beyond the corporate network with innovative Web threat protection technology. The new technology protects endpoints from accessing malware-related websites, based upon a dynamic evaluation of individual DNS-domain reputation.

In addition to the new technology enhancements, Trend Micro is also pleased to announce that Trend Micro OfficeScan 8.0 has recently been awarded Microsoft Vista certification. This reaffirms Trend Micro's commitment to delivering security protection and peace of mind to businesses that are planning the roll-out of Microsoft's new operating system.

"Enterprise endpoints are increasingly mobile, and laptops are now outnumbering desktops at many major corporations. It is clear that increasing mobility combined with the evolving sophistication of Web threats requires enterprises to look differently at how their security is enforced," said Max Cheng, general manager, Trend Micro enterprise business operations. "Trend Micro OfficeScan extends security beyond the network, providing dynamic, innovative protection against Web threats."

Deploying security can be a significant effort for enterprises, especially when it comes to deployment across a large number of clients. In recognition of this, Trend Micro has further enhanced OfficeScan with an extensible plug-in architecture. This architecture enables the easy deployment of additional new functionality to installed clients, without an administrator needing to redistribute or reinstall OfficeScan. This enables enterprises to efficiently maintain endpoint security with the most current OfficeScan technology available.

- Award-Winning Game Offers Real-Time Simulation Gameplay With Entrepreneurial Twist

Turn your Nintendo DS(TM) into a virtual fish store with Fish Tycoon(R), a unique fish-breeding simulation game from Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games and digital entertainment products for the mass market. Originally created by Last Day of Work and published by Big Fish Games as an online PC game, Fish Tycoon won the 2006 iParenting Media Award and ranked in the top 10 of all 2006 casual games for more than 40 straight weeks. Now, Majesco is bringing the successful PC title to the Nintendo DS audience.

"As its popularity attests, Fish Tycoon is one of those exceptional games with a unique premise that captures and holds your attention," said John Merchant, Marketing Manager, Majesco Europe. "We believe that the game's exclusive DS features and extensive Touch Screen use will ensure the handheld iteration builds upon the PC version's success."

"We're excited to introduce this truly unique game to the handheld market," said Paul Thelen, CEO of Big Fish Games. "Fish Tycoon is one of those rare games whose appeal transcends platforms, genres, and demographics. It is the perfect choice to be our first game released in the handheld market."

"We feel Majesco is the perfect partner to bring Fish Tycoon to the DS," said Arthur Humphrey, CEO, Last Day of Work. Their history of unique and successful titles on the DS shows that they have exactly the kind of vision that will make this release a huge success."

"Staying alive" even when the Nintendo DS is off, Fish Tycoon is a fish-breeding simulation that lets players raise fish in real-time virtual aquariums and crossbreed them to their liking to create new breeds to sell in their store. Selling fish provides funding for supplies, medicine, special chemicals, technology research and store advertising to attract more customers. Players start with a small selection of fish that they must nurture and breed as they work to discover the correct genetic combination for the "7 Magic Fish."

Additional game features include:

- Special DS-only features: 7 exclusive fish yield nearly twice as many fish types as the PC version (over 750!); all new 3D environments and several new tank decorations;

- Extensive use of the Touch Screen to breed fish, make purchases and decorate tanks;

- Simulated real-time experience yields potential surprises every time you turn the game on. Choose from 4 speed options to dictate how time passes in game. Take regular care of your fish or watch your hard work get flushed down the drain!

- Set your own prices for specific fish based on prior sales and present needs;

- Buy fish tanks, decorations, plants, fish eggs, fish food, and medicine to enhance the aesthetic of your tank;

- Research environment, food, and advertising techniques to discover how to keep your rare fish healthy, feed more fish per feeding and attract additional customers.

WASHINGTON, June 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Women Involved in Farm Economics (WIFE) today endorsed the SIRIUS and XM satellite radio merger and encouraged the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to allow the deal to go through.

"The farms and rural communities we represent have been well-served by satellite radio," said WIFE President Pam Potthoff, in a letter to the FCC. "Approval of the merger between SIRIUS and XM will ensure that our communities continue to receive important informational service via satellite radio, and also will provide our constituents with more programming choices at improved prices."

SIRIUS regularly broadcasts 24/7 news and weather information during natural disasters and other emergencies while XM provides Red Cross Radio, which delivers critical information for victims and relief workers in disaster zones.

In addition to the weather, emergency and other informational services provided by SIRIUS and XM, rural communities enjoy and depend upon satellite radio to provide a diverse selection of programming. Both companies provide a broad range of channels, including specialized choices that appeal to our members and are unmatched by other service providers. The merger of SIRIUS and XM will enhance these programming options for rural listeners and consumers everywhere.

Thousands of Households in Florida's New Port Richey, Hudson and Southwestern Pasco County Can Now Receive Verizon's Fiber-Driven FiOS TVStartlingly Clear TV Pictures as Well as the Fastest Internet Speeds and Unlimited, 99.9 Percent Reliable Voice Services Now Available from Verizon

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla., June 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The wait is over for more than 10,000 households in southwestern Pasco County as Verizon Tuesday (June 12) announced the availability of FiOS TV and the company's popular FiOS triple-play bundles to parts of this area. The services are delivered over Verizon's all-fiber network, directly to people's homes and businesses.

Previously, FiOS services were available to more than 66,000 households elsewhere in Pasco County, primarily in the Wesley Chapel and Land O Lakes areas, as well as other nearby locations. This is the first expansion of FiOS service to new areas in Pasco County.

"We are steadily adding to our fiber footprint in Pasco County and work daily to bring in even more households in the community," said John Ferrell, Verizon's senior vice president and general manager for the Southeast region. "We have been receiving regular inquiries from citizens in and around New Port Richey who are eager to experience the difference fiber can mean in their telecommunications and TV services. I'm happy to say that today we can make many of those people satisfied FiOS customers, with more to follow in the near future."

To date, Verizon has deployed 5 million feet of fiber in Pasco County and more than 48 million feet of fiber in its Florida service territory. More than 450,000 households in Hillsborough, Pasco, Sarasota, Manatee and northern Pinellas counties can now order one or more of the FiOS services.

Verizon, providing FiOS services on the nation's most advanced digital all-fiber-optic network, recently had its FiOS Internet service named a winner of PC World Magazine's 100 Best Products of 2007 Awards. The only Internet service to make the prestigious list, Verizon FiOS Internet was ranked fourth on the magazine's roster of what it calls "the finest products and services of the past 12 months," which were selected "based on exemplary design, features, performance and innovation." Additionally, only Verizon's network has earned the certification of the independent Fiber to the Home Council for providing fiber all the way to customers' homes.

Consumers can check online at http://www.verizon.com/fiostv to see if FiOS TV is already available in their area, or to request that Verizon contact them when FiOS TV is available. To order FiOS TV, consumers can call their local Verizon sales office or 1-877-4-FIOS-TV (1-877-434-6788).

Service Highlights

Verizon's FiOS TV Premier package delivers 200 all-digital channels for $42.99 per month. All Tampa Bay-area customers have access to 29 high- definition (HD) channels and 8,600 on-demand titles, 60 percent of which are free. Verizon offers three set-top boxes: standard definition for $4.99 per month; high definition, which includes HD channels, for $9.99 per month; and a dual-tuner, HD-capable digital video recorder for $12.99 per month.

Verizon also offers innovative features not available from other providers, such as Home Media DVR (digital video recorder) and FiOS TV Widgets. Home Media DVR, at $19.99 per month, has a multi-room DVR feature enabling up to three simultaneous viewings of recorded programs without requiring customers to set up a complex home network or buy extra equipment. Customers also can access photos and music on their PCs and play them on their TV. FiOS TV Widgets is a free interactive feature that provides viewers with local weather and traffic information while they're watching their favorite shows.

Currently, Verizon is also offering triple- and double-play bundles built around its FiOS service. The lineup for Verizon FiOS bundles in Florida is:

Triple plays -- 20/5 Mbps (megabits per second) FiOS Internet service, FiOS Premier TV and Freedom Essentials voice -- $109.99 per month. -- 5/2 Mbps FiOS Internet service, FiOS Premier TV and Freedom Essentials voice -- $99.99 per month. Double plays -- 20/5 Mbps FiOS Internet service and Freedom Essentials voice -- $69.99 per month. -- 5/2 Mbps FiOS Internet service and Freedom Essentials voice -- $59.99 per month.

"Our all-fiber-optic network delivers a superior customer experience today and has an abundance of bandwidth for the exciting services we'll offer in the future," said Ferrell. "We also believe our bundled services offer both a great price and great value right now."

Verizon will bring FiOS TV in 2007 and beyond to additional communities in the six-county west central Florida area. The Florida legislature recently passed the Consumer Choice Act of 2007, which was signed into law May 18 by Gov. Charlie Crist and will speed franchise approvals in cities and counties where Verizon currently does not have a franchise. In addition to Florida, Verizon currently offers FiOS TV in parts of California, Delaware, Virginia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas.

Fiber delivers amazingly sharp pictures and sound and has the capacity to transmit a wide array of high-definition programming that is so clear and intense it seems to leap from the TV screen. It also delivers Internet download speeds of up to 50 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 5 Mbps as well as high-quality voice service.*

The value of FiOS TV extends to the installation and customer support. Specially trained Verizon technicians will install the service and acquaint subscribers with FiOS TV features and services. Verizon is waiving the installation fee for up to three existing TV outlets, and there is no charge to install a needed optical network terminal at the subscriber's home. Charges for other installation services, such as additional outlets, may apply. Verizon provides 24x7 technical assistance by phone from its specialized Fiber Solutions Centers.

*NOTE: actual (throughput) speeds will vary.

Verizon Communications Inc. , headquartered in New York, is a leader in delivering broadband and other wireline and wireless communication innovations to mass market, business, government and wholesale customers. Verizon Wireless operates America's most reliable wireless network, serving 60.7 million customers nationwide. Verizon's Wireline operations include Verizon Business, which delivers innovative and seamless business solutions to customers around the world, and Verizon Telecom, which brings customers the benefits of converged communications, information and entertainment services over the nation's most advanced fiber-optic network.

Sarasota County, Florida, To Replace Touch Screen Voting Machines With Diebold Election Systems' Optical Scan and AutoMARK(TM) Voting SolutionsMany Florida counties rely on Diebold's paper ballot voting solution

ALLEN, Texas, June 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The commissioners of Sarasota County, Fla., have unanimously voted to replace their touch screen voting machines from another supplier with optical scan and AutoMARK(TM) ballot marking voting solutions from Diebold Election Systems, Inc. (DESI).

Sarasota County's touch screen machines have been in use for five years, and were used in last November's disputed 13th Congressional District election. The new DESI voting equipment, which uses a fully auditable paper ballot, is expected to be in place for the November 2007 elections. Sarasota County's decision brings to 32 the number of counties in Florida that use DESI optical scan voting solution with a fully auditable paper ballot.

Sarasota County is the first of 15 Florida counties that will replace existing touch screen voting systems with optical scan technology as required by Florida law.

"Receiving the unanimous vote to serve as the election systems provider for Sarasota County is a significant achievement and privilege for our company," said David Byrd, president, Diebold Election Systems. "Our proven optical scan voting solution already used in many Florida jurisdictions will ensure that every vote cast in Sarasota County is safe, secure and accurate."

The contract with Sarasota County will be for approximately 200 AccuVote- OS(TM) units and 188 AutoMARK ballot marking devices.

Diebold's optical scan solution has been a proven performer for many years in jurisdictions in Florida and throughout many areas of the United States. More than 70 percent of Florida's jurisdictions conducting the June 5 special primary election for state senator in District 3, and state representatives in Districts 24 and 43 used DESI's optical scan equipment.

"The Diebold optical scan machines worked very well during the election, and we are pleased with the excellent service and support we receive from the company," stated Susan Gill, Citrus County supervisor of elections. "We have used the Diebold system for over nine years. Numerous recounts through the years have verified the accuracy and reliability of the system. Our voters have confidence in the Diebold optical scan voting system."

AccuVote-OS is an optical scan unit that allows precinct-based counting of paper ballots. After marking a ballot, the voter inserts the ballot into the AccuVote-OS equipment to be cast and counted.

The AutoMARK ballot marking device enables voters with vision and physical disabilities to make clearly marked selections on the paper ballot using voice guidance navigation or a "sip n' puff" accessibility device.

About Diebold Election Systems

Diebold Election Systems, Inc. is a wholly owned operating subsidiary of Diebold, Incorporated , a global leader in providing integrated self-service delivery systems and services. Headquartered in Allen, Texas, Diebold Election Systems provides high-quality voting technology to jurisdictions of all sizes, along with comprehensive service and support capability, and is committed to elections accuracy, security and integrity.

Since fall of last year, AT&T blue room music has offered fans the opportunity to expand the live webcast experience through the 24-hour streaming blue room radio Festival channel.
