LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/31/15

Social Reality, Inc. (OTCQB: SCRI), an Internet advertising and platform technology company that provides tools to automate the digital advertising market, today announced its fourth quarter and full year financial results for 2014. Revenues for 2014 were $5,120,343, an increase of 50% over 2013. Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $3,626,588, a 92% year-over-year increase from the fourth quarter of 2013 and a 447% increase sequentially over the third quarter of 2014. The company also reported gross margins of 45% for 2014, which was an increase from 32% in 2013.

"While we are very pleased with our results for 2014, we are even more excited about the growth in 2015. Based on the increased current run rate we are experiencing, mainly due to our RTB platform, the integration of Steel Media, Five Delta and the addition of the Social Spotlight Media team, we expect Q1 2015 gross revenues to increase to $3,700,000, a 560% increase over Q1 2014," said Christopher Miglino, Social Reality's Chairman and CEO. "We continue to look for additional acquisitions, and we are very pleased with our organic business growth," added Miglino.

Use of Non-GAAP Measure - Adjusted EBITDA

Social Reality's management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various financial metrics. In addition to the company's GAAP results, management also considers the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, plus stock-based compensation and interest expense. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information about Social Reality's operating results. The tables below provide a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP measure should be considered a supplement to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
