Exhibit 99.1 EDGAR(R) ONLINE SECOND QUARTER REVENUES INCREASE 16% SUBSCRIPTIONS AND DATA SALES INCREASE 22% SOUTH NORWALK, Conn., Aug. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EDGAR(R) Online(R), Inc. (Nasdaq: EDGR), today announced that revenue increased 16% to $4.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to $3.6 million for the same quarter last year, and its core business -- subscription and data sales -- increased 22% for the same period. Second quarter revenues and net loss per share of ($0.05) were in line with the Company's guidance. EDGAR Online is a leading provider of value-added business and financial information on global companies to financial, corporate and advisory professionals. EDGAR Online reported a 16% increase in deferred revenue to $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared to $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2005. Part of the growth in deferred revenue is related to sales of the I-Metrix suite of products, eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) solutions, and the Company's partnership with RR Donnelley. Deferred revenue represents amounts already billed to customers that will be recognized as revenue in future periods as the Company's subscription and data products are utilized. Total revenue increased to $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $7.1 million in the same period last year despite a decrease in the Company's technical services business which ceased in the third quarter of 2005. Subscription revenue increased 21% to $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $3.9 million in 2005, and data sales improved 25% to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $2.6 million in 2005. Together, the increases in these segments resulted in a 22% increase in the Company's core business. Susan Strausberg, EDGAR Online's president and CEO, said, "We are very pleased with our performance this quarter. Data and subscription sales showed double digit growth over last year and total revenues were at the high end of our expectations for the quarter. In our third quarter 2005 press release, I stated that we expected financial success from our I-Metrix efforts would start to be evident in 2006, and accelerate in 2007 and onward. To date in 2006, we have recognized over $700,000 of I-Metrix revenues and are confident that the momentum of our products, solutions and partnership with RR Donnelley and other channel partners will continue to increase these revenues. In addition, while we continue to invest heavily in product development, our EBITDA has remained consistent with the prior year and improved sequentially. I believe this demonstrates the overall effectiveness of our operations and bodes well for future success." Gross margins were consistent at 85% for both the second quarter of 2006 and 2005, and for both the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. The Company expects gross margins to continue to exceed 80% in future periods. On January 1, 2006, EDGAR Online adopted SFAS 123(R), "Share Based Payment," which requires the Company to begin recording stock compensation expense based on the fair value of options granted to employees. The expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the related options and is included in the same line item as cash compensation expenses of the same employees. As a result, the Company recorded $262,000 of stock compensation expense in the first quarter of 2006 and $265,000 during the second quarter of 2006, which are reflected in operating loss. Net loss for the second quarter was ($1.3 million) or ($0.05) per share, compared to a net loss of ($1.3 million) or ($0.05) per share in the same quarter last year. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was ($2.9 million) or ($0.12) per share, compared to a net loss of ($2.2 million) or ($0.10) per share in the same period last year. The increase in net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from the prior year reflects the Company's continued increases in product development and sales and marketing expenses associated with the I-Metrix suite of products, and the adoption of SFAS 123(R). At June 30, 2006, cash and equivalents totaled $5.1 million compared to $4.6 million at March 31, 2006 and $5.3 million at December 31, 2005. The Company has no debt other than normal operating payables and accrued expenses.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA also excludes 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 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 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 EBITDA in the same manner, the Company's definition of EBITDA might not be consistent with that of other companies.
