Onstream Media Corporation Reports Fiscal 2008 First Quarter Financial Results Total Revenue Up 105% as Webcasting Revenue Increases 60%; POMPANO BEACH, FL – February 14, 2008 – Onstream Media Corporation ( OTC: ONSM), an online service provider of live and on-demand internet video, announced today its financial results for the fiscal first quarter, the three months ended December 31, 2007. Financial Highlights
Financial Discussion Revenue for the quarter was approximately $4.5 million, an increase of 104.7% from approximately $2.2 million for the first quarter in the prior fiscal year and up 8.6% sequentially compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. The revenue growth was due to a 59.8% increase in revenues from the Webcasting division of the Web Communications Services Group and the contribution of approximately $1.8 million in revenue from Infinite Conferencing, which was acquired during April of 2007 and accordingly had no revenue during the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Randy Selman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Onstream Media, commented, “This was a strong quarter for Onstream, with more than 100% year-over-year revenue growth and over 20% organic revenue growth excluding the acquisitions of Infinite Conferencing and Auction Video. In fact, we achieved record revenue and are tracking ahead of our growth targets for the year despite the previous loss of a Digital Media Services Group customer representing $246,000, or 11%, of revenue in the first quarter of last year. Today we have a much more stable and diversified base of revenue with a large recurring revenue component, setting the stage for more predictable and sustainable future growth.” Consolidated gross margin for the quarter was approximately $3.1 million, or 70.0% of revenues, compared with gross margin of $1.3 million, or 61.3% of revenues, for the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. The increase in gross margin to record levels was due in large part to the contribution of higher-margin Infinite Conferencing revenue absent in the prior-year, improvement in Webcasting margins as well as increased revenue leveraged against the Company’s fixed expense base. The gross margin on Infinite Conferencing revenue was approximately 81% for the quarter and the Webcasting division contributed gross profit margin of approximately 70%. Total operating expenses for the quarter were $4.8 million compared to $2.8 million in the prior-year first quarter. The increase was primarily due to increased compensation and depreciation and amortization expense. The Company reported a loss from operations (before interest expense and other non operating items) of $1.7 million compared to a loss from operations of $1.5 million for the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. Included in this fiscal 2008 first quarter loss was $1.0 million in depreciation and amortization expenses, which represents an increase of 52.7%, compared to the approximately $682,000 in similar expenses in the prior-year first quarter. Mr. Selman continued, “Our ability to achieve the highest gross profit margins in our Company’s history and to grow revenues faster than our operating expenses demonstrates the strong operating leverage inherent in our business model. As a percent of revenue, total operating expenses decreased from approximately 130.8% of revenue in last year’s first quarter to approximately 108.7% of total revenue this quarter. Going forward, we expect to improve our net operating margin as we continue to grow our revenue base, improving the Company’s overall profitability.” The consolidated net loss for the quarter was approximately $(1.7) million, or $(0.04) loss per share (based on 42.1 million weighted average shares outstanding), as compared to a loss of approximately $(3.5) million, or $(0.21) loss per share (based on 16.6 million weighted average shares outstanding) for the prior fiscal year’s first quarter. The decreased net loss was primarily due to a significant number of conversions to equity of the 8% Senior and Subordinated Convertible Debentures in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and the resulting write-off of unamortized discount as interest expense at that time. Similar transactions did not occur in the quarter ended December 31, 2007. The net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was entirely due to approximately $1.8 million in non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization expense and consultant and employee compensation paid in shares and options. As a result, the Company generated approximately $57,000 in positive cash flow from operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, before changes in working capital components, and increased its December 31, 2007 cash balances by approximately $459,000 compared to cash as of September 30, 2007. Outlook “As expected, the first quarter of fiscal 2008 represented a strong start to what we believe will be a record year, both in terms of revenue growth and also the Company’s bottom-line results,” Teleconference Onstream Media will hold a conference call on Thursday, February 14, 2008 at 4:30 pm ET to discuss its fiscal 2008 first quarter financial results.
