EDGAR Online Reports Second Quarter 2008 Revenues Increase 13%
XBRL Filings Revenue Increases by 177%
NEW YORK, NY – July 29, 2008 – EDGAR® Online®, Inc. (NASDAQ: EDGR) today announced that revenues increased 13% to $4.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to $4.4 million for the same quarter last year. Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased 17% to $9.9 million, compared to $8.5 million in the same period prior year. Adjusted EBITDA, which has improved sequentially since the first quarter of 2007, increased $717,000 to $210,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to ($507,000) for the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $1.8 million to $385,000, compared to ($1.4 million) in the same period prior year. EDGAR Online is a leading provider of business and financial information on global companies.
“We are pleased with our performance this quarter. Despite the current uncertain economic conditions, we have been able to deliver double-digit revenue growth across our business and improvements in EBITDA. Our data and solutions business continues to grow at greater than 20% year over year and has eclipsed our legacy businesses. We are particularly proud of the stellar growth we’ve had in our XBRL filings business. The May announcement by the SEC of a proposed mandate of XBRL filings for all 12,000 filers in the US equities market has accelerated this business. We have created over 100 XBRL filings year to date. Over 80 percent of these filings have been created since this May announcement. As of the end of the second quarter of 2008, we have created 42% of all corporate XBRL filings filed up on SEC.GOV. Clearly, the market is moving to XBRL and customers are seeing the value in our low-cost high-fidelity solution. We are proud that our financial results are starting to demonstrate the value proposition of our XBRL technologies for customers and stockholders,” said Philip Moyer, EDGAR Online President and CEO.
Operating loss was ($551,000), or ($0.02) per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to ($2.3 million), or ($0.09) per share, for the same quarter last year. The improvement of $1.75 million in operating loss for the second quarter of 2008 (as compared to the second quarter of 2007) was primarily due to an increase in revenues of $560,000, lower operating expenses, and non-recurring charges of approximately $1 million due to severance costs and sales tax accrual. Net loss was ($687,000), or ($0.03) per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to ($2.4 million), or ($0.09) per share, for the same quarter last year. Operating loss was ($1.2 million), or ($0.04) per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to ($3.9 million), or ($0.15) per

Deferred revenue represents amounts billed to customers that will be recognized as revenue in future quarters as the Company’s subscription and data products are utilized. At June 30, 2008, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $2.9 million, compared to $3.8 million at December 31, 2007.

In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses information regarding Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes severance costs, a non-recurring charge related to a sales tax audit settlement and the non-cash charge for stock compensation expense. As required by the SEC, the Company provides the above reconciliation to net loss, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The Company presents adjusted EBITDA as it is a common alternative measure of performance that is used by management as well as investors when analyzing the financial position and operating performance of the Company by excluding certain non-cash expenses, such as stock compensation expense, as well as non-operating items that are not indicative of its core operating results. Further, this non-GAAP financial measure is one of the primary indicators management uses for planning and forecasting future periods. As adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net loss or any other GAAP measure. Because not all companies calculate adjusted EBITDA in the same manner, the Company’s definition of adjusted EBITDA might not be consistent with that of other companies.
