Additional Performance Measures:

• Managed revenue² was $227.2 million for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of 48% from $153.5 million for the second quarter of 2014.
• Take rate² was 21.4% for the second quarter of 2015, up from 18.4% for the second quarter of 2014.

Supplemental Disclosure to Facilitate Period-to-Period Revenue Comparisons:

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company closed the acquisition of Chango Inc. ("Chango"), and fully consolidated and integrated the sales, product, engineering functions and technology of Rubicon Project’s previous buyer cloud and Chango operations, thereby making separate reporting for the Chango entity impracticable.

Prior to the acquisition, the Company reported all revenue on a net basis. As a result of the acquisition and integration during the second quarter of 2015, revenue attributable to the vast majority of buyer cloud transactions is reported on a gross basis in accordance with GAAP. Revenue is reported gross for those arrangements for which the Company manages advertising campaigns on behalf of buyers by acting as the primary obligor in the purchase of ad inventory, exercising discretion in establishing prices, and selecting and purchasing inventory from the seller. Revenue continues to be reported net for transactions in which buyers and sellers of advertising use the Company's solution to execute or facilitate their purchase and sale of advertising. There have been no changes to historical reporting.

In order to facilitate comparison of the second quarter of 2015 to prior periods, and to help investors understand the effects of the acquisition and integration of Chango and the addition of the Company's business transactions reported on a gross revenue basis, the Company is providing non-GAAP net revenue as a supplemental disclosure. Non-GAAP net revenue would represent the Company's GAAP revenue if all transactions were reported on a net basis. For the second quarter of 2015, non-GAAP net revenue was $48.5 million, which is $4.5 million less than GAAP revenue as a result of treating the portion of GAAP revenue that is reported on a gross basis as if it were reported net. For the second quarter of 2015 non-GAAP net revenue represented a 72% increase from $28.3 million in the second quarter of 2014.

Balance Sheet:

• The Company had cash and liquid assets of $117.3 million and was debt free as of June 30, 2015.

Q3 and Full Year 2015 Outlook

Key Performance Measures:

Our management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various performance measures.

Managed revenue represents the advertising spending transacted on our platform, and would represent our revenue if we were to record all of our revenue on a gross basis. Managed revenue does not represent revenue reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). We review managed revenue for internal management purposes to assess market share and scale. Many companies in our industry record revenue on a gross basis, so tracking our managed revenue allows us to compare our results to the results of those companies. Our managed revenue is influenced by demand for our services, the volume and characteristics of paid impressions, and average CPM.

Take rate represents managed revenue, net of amounts we pay sellers, divided by managed revenue. We review take rate for internal management purposes to assess the development of our marketplace with buyers and sellers. Our take rate can be affected by a variety of factors, including the terms of our arrangements with buyers and sellers active on our platform in a particular period, the scale of a buyer’s or seller’s activity on our platform, product mix, the implementation of new products, platforms and solution features, auction dynamics, and the overall development of the digital advertising ecosystem.

This press release includes information relating to Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share, which have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are used by our management and board of directors, in addition to our GAAP results, to understand and evaluate our performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget, and to develop short- and long-term plans. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our core results and thus are appropriate to enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and our prospects for the future.

These non-GAAP measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or as superior to, the corresponding measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share eliminate the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance and operating performance on a per share basis. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments, and review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP measures, and the reasons we consider them appropriate. It is important to note that the particular items we exclude from, or include in, our non-GAAP measures may differ from the items excluded from, or included in, similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies. See “Reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA” and “Reconciliation of net loss attributable to common stockholders to non-GAAP net income (loss) and calculation of non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share” included as part of this press release.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of acquired intangible assets, interest income or expense, change in fair value of pre-IPO convertible preferred stock warrant liabilities, and other income or expense, which mainly consists of foreign exchange gains and losses, certain other non-recurring income, or expenses such as acquisition and related costs, and provision for income taxes. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our performance for the following reasons:

• Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company’s performance without regard to items such as stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of acquired intangible assets, interest income or expense, change in fair value of preferred stock warrant liabilities, foreign exchange gains and losses, certain other non-recurring income or expense such as acquisition and related costs, and provision for income taxes that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing, capital structures, and the method by which assets were acquired; our management uses Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with GAAP measures for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of performance and the effectiveness of our business strategies, and in communications with our board of directors concerning our performance;
• Adjusted EBITDA may sometimes be considered by the compensation committee of our board of directors in connection with the determination of compensation for our executive officers; and
• Adjusted EBITDA provides consistency and comparability with our past performance, facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, and facilitates comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP measures to supplement their GAAP results.

Although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. These limitations include:

• stock-based compensation is a non-cash charge and is and will remain an element of our long-term incentive compensation package, although we exclude it as an expense when evaluating our ongoing performance for a particular period;
• depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, and the assets being depreciated or amortized will often have to be replaced in the future; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for these replacements;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect non-cash charges related to acquisition and related items, such as amortization of acquired intangible assets and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, acquisition and related items, such as transaction expenses and expenses associated with earn-out amounts;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in our working capital needs, capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for income taxes and the cash impact of other income or expense; and
• other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, we also consider other measures, including net loss.

Non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) by non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is equal to net loss attributable to common stockholders excluding the change in fair value of pre-IPO convertible preferred stock warrant liabilities, cumulative preferred stock dividends, stock-based compensation, acquisition and related items expense, including amortization of acquired intangible assets, and foreign currency gains and losses. The non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share assumes the net exercise of a preferred stock warrant and the conversion of each share of convertible preferred stock to one half share of common stock in connection with our initial public offering as if they had occurred at the beginning of each respective period presented, whereas, weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate GAAP earnings (loss) per share reflects the net exercise and conversion as of April 7, 2014, the date our IPO closed. In periods in which non-GAAP net income (loss) is profitable, non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate non-GAAP earnings per share includes the impact of potentially dilutive shares. Potentially dilutive shares consist of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, potential shares issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, each computed using the treasury stock method, shares held in escrow, and potential shares issued as part of contingent consideration as a result of business combinations. The weighted-average shares used to compute net loss per share, non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding used to compute non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share, and non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding used in our guidance for the full year non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share includes the 6.4 million shares issued in our initial public offering from the date our IPO closed. We believe non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share is useful to investors in evaluating our ongoing operational performance and our trends on a per share basis by taking into consideration all preferred stock ownership on an as-converted basis, and also facilitates comparison of our financial results on a per share basis with other companies, many of which present a similar non-GAAP measure. However, a potential limitation of our use of non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share is that other companies may define non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share differently, which may make comparison difficult. This measure may also exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. Because of these limitations, we also consider the comparable GAAP measure of net loss attributable to common stockholders.
