(OTCBB: ICNS) today announced that increased sales of information technology (IT) products and services, higher levels of professional services and managed services to the enterprise market and continued solid growth in its Front Porch Digital Media offerings drove substantial year-over-year revenue increases for its second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005. Second quarter pro forma revenue increased 27 percent to $17.6 million, from $13.9 million for the comparable prior year period. Pro forma gross margin for the 2005 second quarter was $5.1 million as compared to $4.3 million for the comparable prior year period. Chairman and CEO Thomas P. Sweeney noted, "Our revenue growth was driven by higher third-party product sales, increased sales of professional services, increased managed services in the enterprise market and the addition of two DIVAcomplete installations for Front Porch Digital. The complete solutions approach continues to position Incentra to take a larger percentage of our customers' total spend with the opportunity to deliver higher-margin recurring services. "Second quarter revenues were higher than previously forecasted due to the accelerated sale and delivery of a few transactions which were originally forecasted for the third quarter," Sweeney added. "Margins continue to improve this year as we begin to realize synergies from the acquisitions and from the expansion of our service offering to existing customers and to newly-acquired customers. With our acquisition integration efforts largely complete, the teams are now solely focused on the delivery of complete solutions to our customers." Pro forma net loss before amounts attributable to common shareholders(1) for the quarter decreased 33 percent to $2.4 million compared to a pro forma loss of $3.6 million for the 2004 second quarter. EBITDA(2), as adjusted, was $293,000 for the 2005 second quarter and excluded a $135,000 gain from an insurance recovery. For the first six months of 2005, the pro forma revenues increased 25 percent to $34.0 million, from the comparable prior year period. EBITDA(2), as adjusted, for the first six months of 2005 was $704,000 which also excluded the insurance recovery. "Overall, we continue to make strides in delivering complete IT solutions and solidifying our position as an outsourced provider and implementer for our customers' complete IT needs," Sweeney commented.

MORE-MORE-MORE INCENTRA SOLUTIONS ANNOUNCES 2005 SECOND QUARTER, FIRST SIX MONTHS RESULTS Page 3-3-3 - ------------------ (1) Net loss before amounts attributable to common shareholders excludes deemed dividends and accretion related to the Company's preferred stock. (2) EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles. Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company believes the use of the non-GAAP financial measure EBITDA enhances an overall understanding of the Company's past financial performance and is a widely-used measure of operating performance in practice. In addition, the Company believes the use of EBITDA provides useful information to the investor because EBITDA excludes significant non-cash interest and amortization charges related to past financings by the Company that, when excluded, the Company believes produces more meaningful operating information. EBITDA also excludes depreciation expense incurred primarily in the MSI subsidiary and amortization expense for intangible assets which arose out from the acquisition of MSI, which are significant when compared to such levels prior to the acquisition of MSI. However, investors should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for determining the Company's operating performance or liquidity that are calculated in accordance with GAAP, and this measure may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. A reconciliation of EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, loss before income taxes, is included in the adjoining tables. ------------------------------- ---------------------------------- THREE MONTHS ENDED 6-30-05 SIX MONTHS ENDED 6-30-05 ------------------------------- ---------------------------------- AS REPORTED PROFORMA AS REPORTED PROFORMA EBITDA RECONCILIATION all amounts in (000's) Net loss $(2,356) $(2,356) $(4,705) $(4,741) Income tax expense 559 559 877 877 Non-cash interest 431 431 972 973 Cash interest, net 175 175 173 250 Depreciation 398 398 793 826 Amortization 949 949 1,840 1,869 ------------------------------- ---------------------------------- EBITDA $156 $156 $(50) $54 =============================== ================================== Owner's costs -
