Onstream Media Corporation Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2012 Results Reports Record High Revenues and Positive Cash from Operating Activities (before changes in working capital) POMPANO BEACH, FL – May 15, 2012 - Onstream Media Corporation ( OTC: ONSM), a leading online service provider of live and on-demand corporate audio and web communications, virtual event technology and social media marketing, reported today its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the six and three months ended March 31, 2012. Financial Highlights
Financial Discussion Our consolidated revenues of approximately $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 represented a new record high for Onstream Media. Those revenues represented an increase of $167,000, or 3.7%, over our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011, with such increase due to higher sales from the Company's Audio and Web Conferencing Services Group. Those consolidated revenues of approximately $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 also represented an increase of $142,000, or 3.2%, over our revenues for the immediately preceding quarter, the three months ended December 31, 2012. Audio and Web Conferencing Services Group revenues were approximately $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of approximately $392,000, or 16.7%, from the corresponding quarter of the prior fiscal year, This increase resulted from increased audio conferencing revenues in the Infinite division, which division's revenues of approximately $2,251,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 represented a new record high for that division, surpassing the previous high which was just set in the immediately preceding quarter, the first quarter of fiscal 2012, which in turn was a new record versus the record set in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. As we announced at the time, the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 included Infinite's first month ever in excess of 10 million minutes. We are now pleased to announce that all three months in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 were in excess of 10 million minutes, with one month in excess of 11 million minutes. Digital Media Services Group revenues were approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of approximately $225,000, or 10.5%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to decreases in DMSP and hosting revenues as well as webcasting division revenues. Onstream's second quarter fiscal 2012 net loss of approximately $721,000, or $(0.06) per share, was based on approximately 12.0 million weighted average shares outstanding and represented a 44.2% decrease from the second quarter fiscal 2011 net loss of approximately $1.3 million, or $(0.14) per share, which was based on approximately 9.5 million weighted average shares outstanding. Onstream's net loss of approximately $1.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 included approximately $1.6 million of non-cash items (non-cash expenses, net of non-cash income), resulting in approximately $181,000 positive cash flow from operating activities (before changes in current assets and liabilities) for that period. The primary non-cash expenses included in that net loss were depreciation and amortization and certain items (employee compensation, professional fees and interest) paid with equity. The $181,000 positive cash flow from operating activities (before changes in current assets and liabilities) for the six months ended March 31, 2012 represented an improvement of approximately $225,000, as compared to cash used in operating activities of approximately $44,000 in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. Cash flow from operating activities (before changes in current assets and liabilities) was positive for both the first and second quarters of fiscal 2012. Onstream's consolidated revenues were approximately $9.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 representing an increase of $444,000, or 5.1%, over our revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2011. This increase was due to higher sales from the Company's Audio and Web Conferencing Services Group, and in particular the Infinite division. Onstream's net loss of approximately $1.4 million, or $(0.12) per share, for the first six months of fiscal 2012 was based on approximately 11.9 million weighted average shares outstanding and represented a 37.2% decrease from the net loss for the first six months of fiscal 2011 of approximately $2.2 million, or $(0.24) per share, which was based on approximately 9.1 million weighted average shares outstanding. Management Commentary Randy Selman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Onstream Media, stated, "We are pleased to report new revenue records for the most recently completed fiscal quarter, continuing such records achieved over our past six quarters. We were also pleased to continue to report positive cash flow from operating activities (before changes in current assets and liabilities) for the first six months of this fiscal year, continuing the pace set in fiscal 2011 when we reported our first full fiscal year having positive cash provided by operating activities (before changes in current assets and liabilities). Looking forward to the remainder of fiscal 2012, we believe that our core businesses, including conferencing and webcasting, are well positioned to continue to drive our revenue growth." Mr. Selman added, "Although we have seen a recent decline in webcasting revenues, we believe that the future of this division will be favorably impacted by the comprehensive update to our webcasting platform which we expect to release on July 1, 2012. In addition, we recently implemented a new MarketPlace365 (MP365) pricing model that establishes MP365 as a value-added platform to assist the customer in using our webcasting services and more particularly, our webinar services. This new MP365 pricing model enables the show organizer to sell inexpensively or give away the exhibitor booths and instead charge for the webinars as a lead generation tool." Teleconference Management will hold a conference call on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss our financial results for the six and three months ended March 31, 2012, as well as provide an outlook for the remainder of fiscal 2012.
