Exhibit 99.1
EDGAR Online, Inc. Second Quarter Subscription Revenue Increases 16%
SOUTH NORWALK, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 27, 2004--EDGAR(R)
Online(R), Inc (NASDAQ:EDGR) today reported second quarter 2004
subscription growth of 16% over the same period last year and growth
of 7% from the previous quarter. Since inception, the Company's
subscription revenues, which consist of billings for EDGAR Online Pro
and EDGAR Online Access, have grown incrementally each quarter. The
average annual revenue per subscriber increased 15% from the second
quarter of 2003. EDGAR Online is a financial information company
specializing in making complex regulatory reporting by public
companies actionable and easy-to-use.
EDGAR Online's deferred revenue at the end of the second quarter
2004 was $2.7 million, a 30% increase over the same quarter last year
and up 18% from last quarter. This represents billings that will be
recognized as revenue in future quarters. The Company reported overall
revenue of $3.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared
to $4.0 million in the same quarter last year. Strong growth in the
Company's core subscription business was offset by an anticipated
decline in the Company's lower margin technical services revenues.
Technical services are expected to remain relatively flat for the
remainder of 2004 and the Company expects overall revenue increases on
a sequential and year over year basis beginning in the third quarter
of 2004.
"We have completed our shift in strategy to focus on subscriptions
and data sales which are highly-scalable and recurring," said Susan
Strausberg, President and CEO of EDGAR Online. "By focusing on our
core business, we will create sustainable long-term growth for our
shareholders. I am very pleased that the Company exhibited the highest
subscription and deferred revenue levels in our history. Driven by our
premium product, EDGAR Online Pro, we expect continued subscription
growth and an increasing average price per subscriber."
During the second quarter of 2004, gross margins decreased to 85%
from 87% for the same quarter last year but remained consistent with
the prior quarter. EDGAR Online expects gross margins to be in a range
from 84% to 87% as the Company continues to expand its sales and
marketing efforts that drive subscriber growth.
Operating loss was ($787,000), or ($0.04) per share, for the
second quarter of 2004, compared to operating income of $47,000, or
$0.00 per share, for the same quarter last year. Net loss for the
second quarter of 2004 was ($782,000) compared to a net income of
$23,000 in the same period a year ago. Prior year second quarter
results included $1.0 million of technical services revenue.
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were $6.4 million
compared to $7.8 million last year. Net loss was ($1.6 million) or
($0.09) per share for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to a
net loss of ($1.1 million), or ($0.06) per share in the same period a
year ago.
At June 30, 2004, cash totaled $5.3 million compared to $3.9
million at December 31, 2003. In May 2004, the Company received net
proceeds of $4.2 million related to the sale of common stock and
warrants in conjunction with its completed secondary offering. Cash
used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was
$671,000, primarily due to a high accounts receivable balance from
increased annual subscription sales. In addition, in January 2004, the
Company made its final payment on the $1.9 million remaining
promissory notes incurred in its acquisition of its technology center
in Rockville, Maryland.

In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance
with GAAP, the Company discloses information regarding EBITDA. EBITDA
is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") has adopted new rules concerning the use of
non-GAAP financial measures. As required by the SEC, the Company
provides the above reconciliation to net income (loss), which is the
most directly comparable GAAP measure. The Company presents 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. As 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 all
companies do not calculate EBITDA in the same manner, the Company's
definition of EBITDA may not be consistent with that of other
companies.
