Greystone Capital Management made the following comment about Rimini Street, Inc. (NASDAQ:RMNI) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“During the quarter I sold out of our remaining position in one of our longest held companies, Rimini Street, Inc. (NASDAQ:RMNI). Of the errors I made, the first consisted not in assessing the business quality, but rather understanding the macro backdrop for labor and accurately layering that into my growth projections. The second, and more fundamental error included completely whiffing on my analysis of the management team, particularly CEO Seth Ravin.

I don’t claim to have all the answers when it comes to analyzing a company culture or management team. I may have a unique perspective at times given my experience with the San Antonio Spurs and evaluating coaching, management, and athletic talent, but it is far from a perfect science. I prefer to speak to a lot of people – particularly employees or former employees – to get an accurate picture of what leadership is actually like. In this case I failed to do so accurately or meaningfully as the company’s competitive positioning and growth runway appeared to be too attractive to pass up. I believe I was also wrong about some aspects of the company’s competitive position, especially during periods of economic stress, and with a large number of potentially better risk/reward or higher IRR opportunities, I re-allocated the cash from the sale to other current holdings and some new investments. Moving forward I aim to be more critical of our management teams and vow to change course more quickly when it becomes clear I am wrong about my assumptions.”
