OVERVIEW We manage the service contract renewals process for renewals of maintenance, support and subscription agreements on behalf of our customers. Our integrated solution consists of a suite of cloud applications, dedicated service sales teams working under our customers' brands and our proprietary Renew OnDemand platform and applications. By integrating software, managed services and data, we address the critical steps of the renewals process including data management, quoting, selling and service revenue business intelligence. Our business is built on our pay-for-performance model, whereby our revenues are based on the service renewals customers achieve with our solution.

We are currently in the midst of a significant investment cycle in which we have taken steps designed to drive our future growth and profitability. We plan to further build out our infrastructure, develop our technology and support Renew OnDemand, our next-generation technology platform, offer additional cloud-based applications, including on a stand-alone, subscription basis, and hire additional sales, service sales and other personnel. These steps impacted our expenses in recent periods as well as our spending for capital expenditures, and are expected to continue to impact our profitability and cash flows in future periods. We have devoted significant resources to developing Renew OnDemand, our software application suite which was recently introduced, and we expect our investment in Renew OnDemand to continue. In addition, we plan to devote significant resources to expand our sales organization, build out the related partner ecosystem, and further develop our service organization to support the platform. The capital expenditures and expenses related to Renew OnDemand are in addition to the expenses of operating our existing technology platform. While these expenses will be incurred and recognized in the near-term, we expect to generate revenues from subscriptions of Renew OnDemand that will increase over time in 2013.

Factors Affecting our Performance Sales Cycle. We sell our integrated solution through our sales organization. At the beginning of the sales process, our quota-carrying sales representatives contact prospective customers and educate them about our offerings. Educating prospective customers about the benefits of our solution can take time, as many of these prospects have not historically relied upon integrated solutions like ours for service revenue management, nor have they typically put out a formal request for proposal or otherwise made a decision to focus on this area. As part of our sales process, we utilize our solutions design team to perform a 16-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Service Performance Analysis ("SPA") of our prospect's service revenue. The SPA includes an analysis of best practices and benchmarks the prospect's service revenue against industry peers. Through the SPA process, which typically takes several weeks, we are able to assess the characteristics and size of the prospect's service revenue, identify potential areas of performance improvement, and formulate our proposal for managing the prospect's service revenue. The length of our sales cycle for a new customer, inclusive of the SPA process and measured from our first formal discussion with the customer until execution of a new customer contract, is typically longer than six months and has increased in recent periods.

We generally contract with new customers to manage a specified portion of their service revenue opportunity, such as the opportunity associated with a particular product line or technology, contract type or geography. We negotiate the engagement-specific terms of our customer contracts, including commission rates, based on the output of the SPA, including the areas identified for improvement. Once we demonstrate success to a customer with respect to the opportunity under contract, we seek to expand the scope of our engagement to include other opportunities with the customer. For some customers, we manage all or substantially all of their service contract renewals.

Implementation Cycle. After entering into an engagement with a new customer, and to a lesser extent after adding an engagement with an existing customer, we incur sales and marketing expenses related to the commissions owed to our sales personnel. The commissions are based on the estimated total contract value, with a material portion of the commission expensed upfront with the remaining portion expensed over a period of eight to fourteen months. We also make upfront investments in technology and personnel to support the engagement. These expenses are typically incurred one to three months before we begin generating sales and recognizing revenue. Accordingly, in a given quarter, an increase in new customers, and, to a lesser extent, an increase in engagements with existing customers, or a significant increase in the contract value associated with such new customers and engagements, will negatively impact our gross margin and operating margins until we begin to achieve anticipated sales levels associated with the new engagements, which is typically two-to-three quarters after we begin selling contracts on behalf of our customers.

Although we expect new customer engagements to contribute to our operating profitability over time, in the initial periods of a customer relationship, the near term impact on our profitability can be negatively impacted by slower-than anticipated growth in revenues for these engagements as well as the impact of the upfront costs we incur, the lower initial level of associated service sales team productivity and lack of mature data and technology integration with the customer. As a result, an increase in the mix of new customers as a percentage of total customers may initially have a negative impact on our operating results. Similarly, a decline in the ratio of new customers to total customers may positively impact our operating results.

Contract Terms. Substantially all of our revenue comes from our pay-for-performance model. Under our pay-for-performance model, we earn commissions based on the value of service contracts we sell on behalf of our customers. In some cases, we earn additional performance-based commissions for exceeding pre-determined service renewal targets.

Since 2009, our new customer contracts have typically had a term of approximately 36 months, although we sometimes have contract terms of up to 60 months. Our contracts generally require our customers to deliver a minimum value of qualifying service revenue contracts for us to renew on their behalf during a specified period. To the extent that our customers do not meet their minimum contractual commitments over a specified period, they may be subject to fees for the shortfall. Our customer contracts are cancelable on relatively short notice, subject in most cases to the payment of an early termination fee by the customer. The amount of this fee is based on the length of the remaining term and value of the contract.

We invoice our customers on a monthly basis based on commissions we earn during the prior month, and with respect to performance-based commissions, on a quarterly basis based on our overall performance during the prior quarter.

Amounts invoiced to our customers are recognized as revenue in the period in which our services are performed or, in the case of performance commissions, when the performance condition is determinable. Because the invoicing for our services generally coincides with or immediately follows the sale of service contracts on behalf of our customers, we do not generate or report a significant deferred revenue balance. However, the combination of minimum contractual commitments, our success in generating improved renewal rates for our customers, our customers' historical renewal rates and the performance improvement potential identified by our SPA process, provides us with revenue visibility.

M&A Activity. Our customers, particularly those in the technology sector, participate in an active environment for mergers and acquisitions. Large technology companies have maintained active acquisition programs to increase the breadth and depth of their product and service offerings and small and mid-sized companies have combined to better compete with large technology companies. A number of our customers have merged, purchased other companies or been acquired by other companies. We expect merger and acquisition activity to continue to occur in the future.

The impact of these transactions on our business can vary. Acquisitions of other companies by our customers can provide us with the opportunity to pursue additional business to the extent the acquired company is not already one of our customers.

17 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Similarly, when a customer is acquired, we may be able to use our relationship with the acquired company to build a relationship with the acquirer. In some cases we have been able to maintain our relationship with an acquired customer even where the acquiring company handles its other service contract renewals through internal resources. In other cases, however, acquirers have elected to terminate or not renew our contract with the acquired company. For example, Oracle terminated our contracts with Sun Microsystems effective as of September 30, 2010 and had previously terminated our contract with another customer, BEA Systems, in April 2008.

Economic Conditions and Seasonality. An improving economic outlook generally has a positive, but mixed, impact on our business. As with most businesses, improved economic conditions can lead to increased end customer demand and sales. In particular, within the technology sector, we believe that the recent economic downturn led many companies to cut their expenses by choosing to let their existing maintenance, support and subscription agreements lapse. An improving economy may have the opposite effect.

However, an improving economy may also cause companies to purchase new hardware, software and other technology products, which we generally do not sell on behalf of our customers, instead of purchasing maintenance, support and subscription services for existing products. To the extent this occurs, it would have a negative impact on our opportunities in the near term that would partially offset the benefits of an improving economy.

We believe the current uncertainty in the economy, combined with shifting market forces toward subscription-based models, is impacting a number of our customers and prospective customers, particularly in the traditional enterprise software and hardware segments. These forces have placed pressure on end customer demand for their renewal contracts and also have led to some slower decision making in general. This economic and industry environment has adversely affected the conversion rates for end customers and contracts. To the extent these conditions continue they will impact our future revenues Certain new engagements we entered into during the second half of 2012 have not yet fully ramped-up to performance levels we anticipate achieving over time. As a result, our revenues have not reflected, and are not expected in the first half of 2013 to reflect, the full revenue and operating margin potential from these customers. In addition to the uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment, we experience a seasonal variance in our revenue typically for the third quarter of the year as a result of lower or flat renewal volume corresponding to the timing of our customers' product sales. The impact of this seasonal fluctuation can be amplified if the economy as a whole is experiencing disruption or uncertainty, leading to deferral of some renewal decisions.

Adoption of "Software-as-a-Service" Solutions. Within the software industry, there is a growing trend toward providing software to customers using a software-as-a-service ("SaaS") model. Under this model, SaaS companies provide access to software applications to customers on a remote basis, and provide their customers with a subscription to use the software, rather than licensing software to their customers. SaaS companies face a distinct set of challenges with respect to customer renewals, given the potentially lower switching costs for customers utilizing their solutions, and are more reliant on renewals for their long-term revenues than traditional software companies. Given the strategic importance of renewals to their model, SaaS companies may be less inclined than traditional software companies to rely on third-party solutions such as ours to manage the sale of renewals of subscription contracts. We have tailored our solution to address the needs of SaaS companies in this area and expect to continue to develop and enhance our solution as this market grows, especially with our Renew OnDemand application suite.

In connection with our purpose-built SaaS offering to manage and maximize recurring revenue, we intend to significantly increase our investment in our customer support, training and professional services organizations to support deployments of Renew OnDemand. We anticipate that the cost of providing professional services, support and training will be significant and that our gross profit will be adversely affected as we build out these functions.

Basis of Presentation Net Revenue Substantially all of our net revenue is attributable to commissions we earn from the sale of renewals of maintenance, support and subscription agreements on behalf of our customers. We generally invoice our customers for our services in arrears on a monthly basis for sales commissions, and on a quarterly basis for certain performance sales commissions; accordingly, we typically have no deferred revenue related to these services. We do not set the price, terms or scope of services in the service contracts with end customers and do not have any obligations related to the underlying service contracts between our customers and their end customers.

We also earn revenue from the sale of subscriptions to our cloud based applications. To date, subscription revenue has been insignificant, but we expect revenues generated from subscriptions to Renew OnDemand to increase in 2013. Subscription fees are accounted for separately from commissions, and they are billed in advance over a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the related subscription term.

18-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents We have generated a significant portion of our revenue from a limited number of customers. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, our top ten customers in each period accounted for 49% and 51% of our net revenue, respectively.

Our business is geographically diversified. During the first quarter of 2013, 62% of our net revenue was earned in North America and Latin America ("NALA"), 29% in Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") and 9% in Asia Pacific-Japan ("APJ"). Net revenue for a particular geography generally reflects commissions earned from sales of service contracts managed from our sales centers in that geography. Predominantly all of the service contracts sold and managed by our sales centers relate to end customers located in the same geography.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit Our cost of revenue expenses include compensation, technology costs, including those related to the delivery of our cloud-based solutions, and allocated overhead costs. Compensation includes salary, bonus, benefits and stock-based compensation for our dedicated service sales teams. Our allocated overhead includes costs for facilities, information technology and depreciation, including amortization of internal-use software associated with our service revenue technology platform and cloud applications. Allocated costs for facilities consist of rent, maintenance and compensation of personnel in our facilities departments. Our allocated costs for information technology include costs associated with third-party data centers where we maintain our data servers, compensation of our information technology personnel and the cost of support and maintenance contracts associated with computer hardware and software. To the extent our customer base or opportunity under management expands, we may need to hire additional service sales personnel and invest in infrastructure to support such growth. We currently expect that our cost of revenue will fluctuate significantly and may increase on an absolute basis and as a percentage of revenue in the near term, including for the reasons discussed above under, "-Factors Affecting Our Performance-Implementation Cycle" and as a result of our near term plans to run dual technology platforms for several quarters as we commence the launch of Renew OnDemand while maintaining our existing technology platform.

Operating Expenses Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses are the largest component of our operating expenses and consist primarily of compensation and sales commissions for our sales and marketing staff, allocated expenses and marketing programs and events. We sell our solutions through our global sales organization, which is organized across three geographic regions: NALA, EMEA and APJ. Our commission plans provide that payment of commissions to our sales representatives is contingent on their continued employment, and we recognize expense over a period that is generally between twelve and fourteen months following the execution of the applicable contract. We currently expect sales and marketing expenses to increase on an absolute basis and as a percentage of revenue in the near term based on commissions earned on customer contracts entered into in prior periods, as well as continued investments in sales and marketing personnel and programs as we expand our business domestically and internationally and pursue new sales initiatives.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation, allocated costs and the cost of third-party service providers. We focus our research and development efforts on developing new products, including Renew OnDemand, our next-generation technology platform, and adding new features to our existing technology platform. In connection with the development and enhancements of our SaaS applications, we capitalize certain expenditures related to the development and enhancement of internal-use software related to our technology platform. We expect research and development spending to increase on an absolute basis and as a percentage of revenue in the near term as we continue to invest in our Renew OnDemand platform and our expectation that future capitalization of internal-use software costs will be insignificant.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation for our executive, human resources, finance and legal functions, and related expenses for professional fees for accounting, tax and legal services, as well as allocated expenses. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase on an absolute basis to support our anticipated growth.

19 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Other Income (Expense) Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense associated with borrowings under our credit facility, foreign exchange transaction gains and losses and interest income.

Income Tax (Benefit) Provision We account for income taxes using an asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between the tax basis and the financial reporting basis of our taxable subsidiaries' assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

We account for unrecognized tax benefits using a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We establish reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. We record an income tax liability, if any, for the difference between the benefit recognized and measured and the tax position taken or expected to be taken on our tax returns. To the extent that the assessment of such tax positions change, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. The reserves are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the outcome of a tax audit. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate.

Results of Operations The table below sets forth our consolidated results of operations for the periods presented. The period-to-period comparison of financial results presented below is not necessarily indicative of financial results to be achieved in future periods.

Our revenue performance was driven by a combination of growth in opportunity from new and existing customers, as well as strong performance across all of our service sales centers around the world in closing service revenue renewals. The increase in our customer engagements resulted from new engagements with certain existing customers as well as new customer acquisitions due to our investments in our sales organization. These increases were partially offset by some customers in all three geographies where the scope of our services was reduced.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit Three Months Ended March 31, % 2013 2012 Change Change (in thousands) Cost of revenue $ 38,498 $ 32,576 $ 5,922 18 % Includes stock-based compensation of: 732 572 160 Gross profit 22,623 24,998 (2,375 ) (10 )% Gross profit percentage 37 % 43 % (6 )% The 18% increase in our cost of revenue in the first quarter of 2013 reflected a $4.5 million increase in an increase in compensation, attributable in part to an increase in the number of sales enablement personnel in our global sales operations center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia associated with two large expansions with existing customers, as well as a $1.2 million increase in technology and amortization expense of our internally developed software. Gross profit in the first quarter of 2013 was also adversely impacted by the slower ramp of some of our larger new engagements and due to staffing and technology costs associated with the deployment of our cloud applications. For the next several quarters, we expect that we will have increased spending to continue support for our legacy service revenue intelligence platform in addition to growing support expenditures for our Renew OnDemand application suite.

The increase in headcount reflected our investment in sales and marketing resources aimed at expanding our customer base. The increase was partially offset by lower marketing expenses of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2013 as a result of lower spend on brand development initiatives.

Research and development expenses The 36% increase in research and development expense in the first quarter of 2013 was primarily due to no capitalization of labor and third party costs for development of internal-use software in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to $1.9 million capitalized costs in the first quarter of 2012. We expect research and development spending to increase on an absolute basis and as a percentage of revenue in the near term as we continue to enhance our Renew OnDemand platform.

We anticipate that future capitalization of internal-use software costs will be insignificant.

General and administrative expenses The 11% increase in general and administrative expense in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the first quarter of 2012 reflected a $0.9 million increase in compensation, including stock-based compensation.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit) March 31, % 2013 2012 Change Change (in thousands) Income tax provision (benefit) $ 693 $ (1,950 ) $ 2,643 136 % In first quarter of 2013, we recorded a charge to income tax expense of $0.1 million to establish a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets previously recognized with respect to our Ireland affiliate. The additional $0.6 million charge represents anticipated taxes in jurisdictions where we have profitable operations, including certain U.S. states, offset by limited benefits available from losses in Ireland. No benefit was otherwise provided for losses incurred in the U.S., Singapore and Japan, because these losses are offset by a full valuation allowance, as discussed below.

In first quarter of 2012, we recorded a one-time tax benefit of $1.3 million, resulting from the identification of U.S. Federal and California research credits recoverable for prior years. There were also one-time charges of $0.1 million arising from revisions of estimated tax expense in prior periods.

Excluding the impact of these items, our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was 24.7%. A valuation allowance was recognized in subsequent quarters to offset the benefits recognized in the first quarter of 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources At March 31, 2013, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $117.7 million, which primarily consisted of money market mutual funds, corporate bonds and U.S. government obligations held by well-capitalized financial institutions. Our primary operating cash requirements include the payment of compensation and related costs, working capital requirements related to accounts receivable and accounts payable, as well as costs for our facilities and information technology infrastructure. Historically, we have financed our operations principally from cash provided by our operating activities, proceeds from stock offerings and the exercise of stock options, and to a lesser extent, from borrowings under various credit facilities, with no such borrowings in 2013. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments and our currently available credit facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next twelve months.

Credit Facility On June 29, 2012, we terminated a revolving credit facility scheduled to expire in February 2013. The credit facility provided for a $20.0 million line of credit. At the time of termination, no borrowings other than a letter of credit in the face amount of $850,000 were outstanding under the credit facility.

On July 5, 2012, we entered into a new three-year credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving line of credit based on eligible accounts receivable in an amount up to $25.0 million on and before July 5, 2013 and up to $30.0 million thereafter, in each case with a $2.0 million letter of credit sublimit. Proceeds 23-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents available under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We have the option to prepay the loans under the Credit Agreement in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. We also have the option to terminate the commitments under the Credit Agreement in whole at any time, and may reduce the commitments by up to $10.0 million between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014.

The loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at our option, at a base rate determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement, minus 0.50%, or at a LIBOR rate plus 2.00%. Principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, is due and payable on July 5, 2015, the maturity date. We are also obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee, payable in arrears, based on the available commitments.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, as well as financial covenants. Affirmative covenants include, among others, delivery of financial statements, compliance certificates and notices of specified events, maintenance of properties and insurance, preservation of existence, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Negative covenants include, among others, limitations on our ability and our subsidiaries' ability to grant liens, incur indebtedness, engage in mergers, consolidations and sales of assets and engage in affiliate transactions. The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum liquidity amount, each as defined in the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default including, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of covenants or representations and warranties, cross-defaults with certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events and change in control of the Company, subject to grace periods in certain instances. Upon an event of default, the lender may declare the outstanding obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights and remedies provided for under the Credit Agreement.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our subsidiary, ServiceSource Delaware, Inc., and are collateralized by substantially all of our assets and our subsidiary's assets.

Summary Cash Flows The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 2012 Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $ 5,880 $ (6,324 ) Net cash used in investing activities (18,258 ) (8,701 ) Net cash provided by financing activities 3,480 5,379 Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents, net of impact of foreign exchange changes on cash $ (8,621 ) $ (9,878 ) Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Net loss during the period was $10.5 million adjusted by non-cash charges of $3.2 million for depreciation and amortization and $5.9 million for stock-based compensation. Cash generated from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2013 resulted from sequential changes in our working capital including a $5.9 million decrease in accounts receivable, a $0.4 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other and a $2.1 million increase in accounts payable. Uses of cash were related to a $0.9 million decrease in accrued compensation and benefits and $0.8 million decrease in accrued taxes.

Net cash used in operating activities was $6.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Net loss during the period was $1.3 million adjusted by non-cash charges of $2.3 million for depreciation and amortization and $4.2 million for stock-based compensation. Cash used for operations during the three months ended March 31, 2012 resulted from changes in our working capital including a $6.8 million decrease in accrued compensation and benefits, a $5.1 million increase in accounts receivable, a $2.4 million increase in prepaid expenses and other and a $1.3 million decrease in accounts payable. Source of cash was related to a $3.8 million increase in other accrued liabilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We do not have any relationships with other entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special-purpose entities, which have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments Our principal commitments consist of obligations under operating leases for office space and computer equipment. At March 31, 2013, the future minimum payments under these commitments were as follows (in thousands): Less than 1 More than 5 Total year 1-3 years 3-5 years years Obligations under capital leases $ 868 $ 325 $ 347 $ 196 $ - Operating lease obligations 38,811 7,869 15,434 10,180 5,328 $ 39,679 $ 8,194 $ 15,781 $ 10,376 $ 5,328 The contractual commitment amounts in the table above are associated with agreements that are enforceable and legally binding, which specify significant terms including payment terms, related services and the approximate timing of the transaction. Obligations under contracts that we can cancel without a significant penalty are not included in the table above.

Also excluded from the table above is the income tax liability we recorded for the difference between the benefit recognized and measured and the tax position taken or expected to be taken on our tax returns ("unrecognized tax benefits").

As of March 31, 2013, our liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $0.1 million. Reasonably reliable estimates of the amounts and periods of related future payments cannot be made at this time.

We continue to monitor our accounting policies to ensure proper application of current rules and regulations. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2013.
