<![CDATA[Rincon Technology Experiences 21% Year-over-year Growth in Q3 2010]]> News http://www.rincontechnology.com/about/news.cfm?id=26
“Rincon’s Q3 results were a continuation on a theme of solid profitability and good year-over-results,” said Rincon Co-Founder, President and CEO Jason Kelly. “As with the previous three quarters, our Q3 success was driven by the continued expansion of our Investment Recovery Programs. This growth was achieved through the number of programs under management, and the increased revenue they generated.”

Michael Bartling, Rincon Co-Founder, and EVP of Sales and Purchasing, was equally pleased with the Company’s Q3 results. “In an environment where companies are being asked to meet increased bandwidth demands with shrinking budgets and resources, our customers have found that pairing the cash generated by our asset remarketing programs, with the savings afforded by purchasing low cost, high-quality used hardware, allows them to stretch their capital budgets and meet their network build-out targets.”

<![CDATA[Rincon Technology Launches Rincon Exchange]]> News http://www.rincontechnology.com/about/news.cfm?id=25 SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rincon Technology, Inc. (Rincon), a pioneer in developing investment recovery programs for communication service providers and large enterprises, announced today the launch of RinconExchange.com. Rincon Exchange is the e-commerce arm of Rincon Technology, Inc.

Rincon Co-Founder and President and CEO, Jason Kelly, believes the launch of Rincon Exchange is of great value to the Company’s customers. “Many of the items offered on Rincon Exchange have traditionally only been available through Original Equipment Manufactures (“OEM”) authorized distributors or wholesale equipment brokers. We are pleased to offer them now, direct to retail end users, at prices that are up to 90% off list pricing and in stock.”

Rincon Technology was founded in 2003 by secondary market veterans, with strong industry relationships and product expertise in core routing and optical transport products.

The Company has grown consistently by executing on its founders’ vision of developing investment recovery programs for communication service providers and large enterprises that allow them to turn their surplus, legacy assets into liquid capital. This capital can then be used to finance the acquisition of cutting-edge products needed to keep up with the high bandwidth demand of their customers. As a result of these unique programs, Rincon found itself with an increasing supply of high-value equipment, which lead the Company to look for additional channels to market this material outside of its traditionally strong ties with planning groups at carriers and cable operators. Rincon Exchange is one of these channels.

<![CDATA[Rincon Technology Experiences 47% Income Growth In 2009]]> News http://www.rincontechnology.com/about/news.cfm?id=18 SANTA BARBARA, CA - January 28, 2010 – Rincon Technology, a pioneer in developing innovative investment recovery programs and a global leader in the secondary market for data networking, server/storage and optical transport products, announced today that it achieved income growth of 47% in 2009. This result indicates a continued pattern of bottom-line growth and the scalability of its business model.  

“Despite a challenging macro and industry environment, Rincon Technology grew its core investment recovery business by 40% and strengthened its capital structure through new financial partnerships,” says Jason Kelly, Rincon Technology President & CEO. “Rincon Technology delivered sequential growth in gross profit dollars each quarter in 2009.”

This growth was accomplished with no customer representing more than 10% of the Company’s revenue and a diverse product mix: 61% data; 21% transport (optical and wireless); 14% legacy switching and 4% server/storage.  

“These segment results further validate one of Rincon Technology’s key differentiators, which is our ability to offer a varied product mix and industry expertise in five critical product categories,” reports Michael Bartling, Rincon Technology EVP of Sales and Purchasing.  

The Company also continued to invest in ways that fueled and supported its growth. It increased its sales force by 15%; expanded into a new corporate headquarters in Santa Barbara, CA; further enhanced its web-based tools to better meet the needs of their investment recovery customers; and expanded the capacity of its fulfillment center in Oxnard, CA.

Mr. Kelly emphasized that, “We continue to invest in growing our brand and our ability to execute on large contracted programs. However, because of our earlier and thoughtful investments in infrastructure, these growth investments did not come at the expense of bottom-line results, as demonstrated by a 25% growth in EBITDA and a 47% growth in income for 2009.”

<![CDATA[Rincon Technology Doubles OEM's Investment Recovery Results]]> News http://www.rincontechnology.com/about/news.cfm?id=13 CARPINTERIA, California—December 27, 2007—Rincon Technology, a progressive leader in the secondary telecommunications industry, announced today it increased 2007 sales for a strategic OEM partner, by $2 million.

Rincon generated this additional revenue through an innovative revenue split that leveraged the Company’s proprietary systems and extensive industry relationships.

“Our client's mobility sales team was looking to find value in a competitor’s product that they had taken in from one of their customers in an earlier transaction,” says Michael Bartling, Rincon Technology EVP Sales & Purchasing. “Other secondary market companies were offering $1 million for the equipment. However, by leveraging our network of industry relationships and by devising a creative revenue split plan, Rincon Technology was able to sell the equipment on a timeline that fully maximized its value.”

Mr. Bartling went on to say, “This generated $2 million for our partner, which was $1 million more than they could have made through a competitive deal.”

He also added, “Working hard to help our OEM partners achieve success is a guiding principle at Rincon Technology. Adding $1 million to the bottom line is further proof this principle isn’t just something we talk about—it’s something we do with a high level of expertise.”

<![CDATA[Rincon Technology Helps Leading Video On Demand OEM Win Pivotal Transaction ]]> News http://www.rincontechnology.com/about/news.cfm?id=14 CARPINTERIA, California—October 15, 2007—Rincon Technology, an innovative leader in the secondary market for high end telecommunications products, announced today it recently helped a leading video on demand OEM land an anchor customer in the MSO space and win a transaction in excess of $10 million.

Rincon Technology was able to facilitate the deal by providing one-stop-shop services for the logistics, project management and remarketing of displaced storage infrastructure. This back-end support enabled the OEM to sell cutting edge 100% flash memory video on demand equipment to its customer.

“Our partner was struggling to close a transaction because their customer had already made a significant investment in their current infrastructure,” says Jason Kelly, Rincon Technology President & CEO. “Rincon structured a deal with our OEM partner where we took their customer’s current technology and resold it on the secondary market. This created the capital to finance the acquisition of our partner’s new technology.”

In addition to developing a targeted marketing plan designed to bleed the material onto the secondary market in a way that maximized its value, Rincon also handled the identification, packaging and physical logistics of moving the older equipment from the OEM’s clients to the open market.

“We served as a total one-stop shop for our OEM partner,” reports Kelly. “We even provided them with extensive web site tools, so they could track the revenue from our sales on a real-time basis.”

Mr. Kelly went on to say, “This deal is just one more example of our secondary market expertise, and the value we place on doing everything we can to achieve success for our OEM partners.”
