Second Quarter Results
Revenue for the second quarter of 2010 decreased 2% to $6.8 million from $7.0 million in the previous quarter and increased 10% from $6.2 million in the same year-ago period.
Sequential quarter revenue decreased due to lower client retention rates, particularly with first-year clients that the company believes were testing the public sector as a potential market and did not renew. The year-over-year improvement in revenue was due primarily to improvement in Annual Contract Value (ACV). ACV represents the aggregate annual revenue value of the company’s subscription contracts. ACV increased 11% to $24.1 million from $21.7 million in the same year-ago quarter, but decreased 1% from $24.4 million in the previous quarter (for more information about ACV, see “About Annual Contract Value (ACV) and Quarterly Contract Value per Client (QCVC),” below).
A significant driver of ACV is Annual Contract Value per Client (ACVC), which increased 3% to an average of $3,225 per client from the previous quarter and increased 26% from the second quarter of 2009. ACVC improved in the second quarter, in part by targeting higher value clients and because non-renewals were weighted toward smaller clients.
At the end of the second quarter, the company’s total client base, excluding the entry-level metropolitan product, decreased 4% to 7,200 from 7,500 in the previous quarter, and decreased 10% from 8,000 in the
Onvia - Page1 of7
same year-ago period. The sequential and year-over-year decrease in the customer base is primarily attributed to a decline in the company’s client retention rates of first year, smaller clients.
Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2010 increased 16% to $6.9 million from $5.9 million in the previous quarter and increased 33% from $5.2 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase is due, in part, to the non-cash write-off of capitalized software development costs related to Onvia’s private sector data offering that totaled $967,000, and an aggregate of $363,000 for the company’s chairman and CEO Mike Pickett’s transition payment, executive search fees, and sales reorganization costs.
For the second quarter of 2010, net loss was $1.1 million versus net income of $17,000 in the previous quarter and a net loss of $197,000 in the second quarter of 2009.
Adjusted EBITDA loss (Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, including non-cash stock-based compensation) for the quarter was $189,000, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $693,000 in the previous quarter and $301,000 in the same year-ago period (for more information about Adjusted EBITDA, see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” below).
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $13.0 million at June 30, 2010, compared to $13.3 million at March 31, 2010.
At the consent of its board of directors, the company withheld shares in lieu of cash to cover federal income taxes due upon Mr. Pickett’s option exercises. The company disbursed $427,000 to cover the related tax obligation on Mr. Pickett’s options exercised during the quarter.
Management Commentary
In 2009, enthusiasm for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) encouraged a significant number of small companies to explore opportunities in the public sector. As a result, Onvia signed many new, predominantly smaller companies, which accelerated top line revenue growth. After the first year, these same small clients are renewing at lower than historical rates. Lower client retention rates have negatively impacted Onvia’s results for the last three sequential quarters.
Government is going to increasingly rely on the private sector to fulfill more of its functions. In the second quarter of 2010, Onvia consolidated its existing suite of products to focus exclusively on the gBusiness sector, and will no longer position private sector data as a differentiator within its gBusiness solution. The company believes a targeted suite of products will enhance its ability to execute its gBusiness growth strategy.
In June 2010, Onvia launched its latest product, Spending Forecast Center, which provides insight into capital improvement plans by agencies within the top 366 metropolitan statistical areas in the United States. Spending Forecast Center provides valuable, early stage information on future capital spending used by larger corporations to execute their gBusiness strategies. Onvia has a second, up-market product release planned for the fourth quarter of 2010.
Onvia continues its search for a new chief executive officer to replace Mr. Pickett, who announced his retirement as the company’s CEO effective at the end of 2010. Mr. Pickett will provide transitional leadership as needed through the end of this period. Onvia’s search committee is evaluating both internal and external CEO candidates.
Conference Call
Onvia’s Board of Directors has decided to suspend management conference calls while it conducts its CEO search. Therefore, Onvia has canceled its previously announced conference call scheduled for tomorrow, August 6 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time. Please reference the company’s Form 10-Q, which will be filed next week, for additional discussion and analysis on the second quarter 2010 results, or contact Liolios Group at 949-574-3860 or info@liolios.com for further information.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered as an alternative to net income,
Onvia - Page2 of7
operating income or any other financial measures so calculated and presented, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of the company’s liquidity. Onvia defines adjusted EBITDA as net income/(loss) before interest expense and other non-cash financing costs; taxes; depreciation; amortization; and non-cash stock-based compensation. Other companies (including the company’s competitors) may define adjusted EBITDA differently. The company presents adjusted EBITDA because it believes adjusted EBITDA to be an important supplemental measure of performance that is commonly used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in similar industries and size. Management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting. It may not be indicative of the historical operating results of Onvia nor is it intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under GAAP. See “Reconciliation of GAAP Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA (Loss)” below for further information on this non-GAAP measure and reconciliation of GAAP Income (Loss) to adjusted EBITDA (Loss) for the periods indicated.

About Annual Contract Value (ACV) and Quarterly Contract Value per Client (QCVC)
The company also supplements its financial statements in this release and in its annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with a calculation of Annual Contract Value (ACV), which represents the annualized aggregate revenue value of all subscription contracts as of the end of the quarter. ACV is driven by Annual Contract Value per Client (ACVC) and the number of clients. Most of the company’s revenues are generated from subscription contracts, which are typically prepaid and have a minimum term of one year, with revenues recognized ratably over the term of the subscription. The company also receives revenues from multi-year content reseller licenses, management reports, document download services, and list rental services, which are not included in the calculation of ACV. ACV is not a financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue or any other financial measures so calculated. Management uses this information as a basis for planning and forecasting core business activity for future periods and believes it is useful in understanding the results of its operations. Quarterly Contract Value per Client (QCVC) is similar to ACVC, but represents the average annual contract value of all new and renewing client transactions signed during the quarter only. Management also uses QCVC as a basis for planning and forecasting, and believes it is useful in understanding core business trends.
Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “expect,” and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements the company made regarding its 2010 new product launch plan and plan to increase penetration into the larger business segment.

to predict. The company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements in this release and we caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: Onvia’s investments in sales and marketing, technology infrastructure, product development and content collection and sourcing fail to improve sales penetration and client retention rates; Onvia’s technology fails to handle the increased demands on its infrastructure caused by increasing network traffic and the volume of aggregated data; disruptions with Onvia’s outsourcing relationships fail to decrease incremental expense and delays product delivery schedules; client adoption of new and higher valued products is slower than expected; and Onvia fails to increase the number of clients and/or Annual Contract Value. Additional information on factors that may impact these forward-looking statements can be found in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” sections in the company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
