Completes Sale of Corporate Services Business

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, August 14, 2012 – eDiets.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: DIET), a leading provider of convenient at-home diet, fitness and healthy lifestyle solutions, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2012 were $5.6 million, basically flat with $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2011. The net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2012 was $(0.1) million, or $(0.01) per diluted share on approximately 14.3 million shares outstanding, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $(0.9) million, or $(0.07) per diluted share on approximately 12.8 million shares outstanding, in the second quarter of 2011. On August 6, 2012, eDiets.com sold its corporate services business for approximately $255,000 in cash. Accordingly, the financial results for the corporate services business have been re-classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Company’s financial statements. Net income attributable to discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2012 and 2011 was not meaningful.

Adjusted EBITDA*, defined as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, bad debt expense, non-cash severance charges for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $0.1 million, compared to $(0.1) million in the second quarter of 2011.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded revenues of $12.6 million compared to $12.2 million for the same period last year. The net loss from continuing operations was $(1.2) million, or $(0.09) per share for the first six months of 2012, compared a net loss from continuing operations of $(1.6) million, or $(0.13) per share, for the first six months of 2011. Net income attributable to discontinued operations was $23,000 in the first six months of 2012, compared to $0.3 million, or $0.03 per share, for the first six months of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2012 totaled $(0.7) million, compared to $0.1 million in the comparable prior year period.

Second Quarter and Recent Operating Highlights:

• Grew meal delivery revenue 7% in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011

• Expanded the adjusted meal delivery gross margin* (excluding depreciation) to 46% from 44% in the second quarter of 2011

• Reduced selling, general and administrative expenses by over 20% from the same period last year

• Completed sale of corporate services business on August 6, 2012 for $255,000

• Signed non-binding letter of intent on August 10, 2012 to be acquired by As Seen On TV, Inc. (OTCQB: ASTV)

“We are pleased with our position relative to a year ago,” said Tom Connerty, President and CEO, eDiets.com. “Despite seasonal summer softness, we achieved positive adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter as a result of the operational and strategic changes implemented over past several months. We are encouraged by our execution and the initial results of our new meal delivery packages and creative direction. Furthermore, the sale of our corporate services business provides additional capital to fund our strategic initiatives and allows us to focus our efforts solely on growing our meal delivery business, where we believe we have the greatest opportunities. As we look to the second half of the year, we remain committed to delivering greater customer satisfaction and an improved sales performance.”

* Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In its earnings releases, conference calls, slide presentations or webcasts, the Company may use or discuss adjusted EBITDA and adjusted gross margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G. Management regularly reviews adjusted EBITDA as an analytical indicator of the Company's financial performance and believes that it is useful to investors in evaluating operating performance. In addition, the Company uses adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance for its business segments and for incentive compensation purposes.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted gross margin, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company does not intend for adjusted EBITDA or adjusted gross margin to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any GAAP measure.
