ROCKVILLE, Md., Aug. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- EDGAR® Online, Inc. (NASDAQ: EDGR), a leading global provider of XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) data, software and services, today announced its results for the second quarter and first half of 2011.

Highlights include:

• XBRL filings revenues of $2.5 million, representing growth of 46 percent over the second quarter of 2010
• Software revenues of $0.7 million
• Data and subscriptions businesses returning to growth
• Positive cash flow for the quarter of $0.4 million

Total revenues were $6.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to $5.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, total revenues were $12.5 million compared to $9.4 million for the corresponding period in 2010. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of ($2.0 million) for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to ($0.9 million) for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, adjusted EBITDA was a loss of ($3.5 million) compared to ($1.2 million) for the corresponding period in 2010.

XBRL filings revenues were $2.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, a 46 percent increase from the same quarter last year and a 5 percent increase from the prior quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 XBRL filings revenues were $4.9 million, which is an 83 percent increase over the corresponding period in 2010. Revenues from data and solutions were $1.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, consistent with revenues from the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010. Revenues from subscriptions were $1.3 million and $2.5 million respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, representing decreases of 7 percent and 12 percent, respectively, from the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010.

"For a second straight quarter, EDGAR Online achieved record total revenues reflecting continued momentum in the filings business and the delivery of additional revenues from our software products," said Robert J. Farrell, EDGAR Online president and CEO. "Our continued growth provides us with opportunities to assist our clients across a wide spectrum of XBRL related areas."

Operating loss was ($3.4 million) for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to ($1.2 million) for the same quarter last year. This change was primarily attributable to the continued expansion of infrastructure and software development required to position the Company for future growth in the XBRL filings and data markets.

Deferred revenues were $5.0 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $4.5 million at December 31, 2010. Deferred revenues represent amounts billed to customers that will be recognized as revenue in future quarters as the Company's offerings are utilized. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company capitalized $0.4 million of costs for the development of internal software related to the XBRL filings business, which are included in property and equipment.

At June 30, 2011, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $6.7 million compared to $10.8 million at December 31, 2010.

In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses information regarding adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. As the Company defines it, adjusted EBITDA also excludes severance costs and the non-cash charge for stock compensation expense and includes capitalized software development costs incurred during the period. As required by the SEC, the Company provides the above reconciliation to net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The Company presents adjusted EBITDA as it is a common alternative measure of performance that is used by management as well as investors when analyzing the 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. Furthermore, this non-GAAP financial measure is one of the primary indicators management uses for planning and forecasting future periods.  Since adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) or any other GAAP measure. Because not all companies calculate adjusted EBITDA in the same manner, the Company's definition of adjusted EBITDA might not be consistent with that of other companies.

Business Outlook

Based upon the dynamics and anticipated market growth for XBRL related products and services, EDGAR Online continues to target annual revenue growth in excess of 25 percent over the next three years.
