MARINA DEL REY, CA , a leading Internet search marketing firm
that cost-effectively delivers web traffic via search optimized
text and video content, has announced financial results for its
third quarter ended September 30, 2007.
"Improvement in third quarter earnings is a direct result of our
repositioned products gaining traction in parallel with significant
expense rationalization. It put us back on the path to
profitability," said George Lichter, President and CEO, InfoSearch
Media. "We continue to focus on driving the growth of our core
business and will be opportunistic in looking to expand our
customer base as well as the breadth and depth of our offerings in
both organic and paid search."
Q3 Financial Summary
InfoSearch Media reported an operating loss of $0.29 million for
the quarter ended September 30, 2007, representing a decrease of
51% from the loss of $0.60 million in the third quarter of 2006.
Excluding a non-recurring, non-operating expense of $0.11 million,
the adjusted operating loss of $0.18 million was a decrease of 70%
from the third quarter of 2006 and 83% from the loss of $1.07
million in the second quarter of 2007.
-- The Company reported a GAAP net loss of $0.19 million, or ($0.00) per
share (basic and diluted), a decrease of 72% from $0.65 million or ($0.02)
per share (basic and diluted) for the third quarters ended 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
-- Cash on-hand increased by 12% to $0.64 million.
-- Revenues were $1.19 million for the third quarter, a decrease of 27%
compared to the third quarter of 2006 and an increase of 3% compared to the
second quarter of 2007. Third quarter 2006 revenues included non-recurring
revenues from a purchase of certain, pre-existing content by Demand Media.
Gross margins increased to 70% for the third quarter of 2007 as compared to
61% for the second quarter of 2007. Total operating expenses for the third
quarter of 2007 decreased 36% to $1.13 million from $1.78 million in the
second quarter of 2007.
-- New customer orders grew 48 percent over the first half of 2007. New
customer orders are an important leading indicator of revenues and exclude
recurring client backlog and advertising revenue from the Company's Web
Properties.
"The Company's 83% lower operating loss quarter over quarter
yielded sequential improvement in EPS to ($0.00) as well as a 12%
increase in cash on-hand. InfoSearch Media is now well-positioned
to grow its share of the expanding online advertising market," said
Scott Brogi, CFO of InfoSearch Media. "Accordingly, management
intends to purchase shares of the Company's common stock on the
open market as buying opportunities present themselves and our
insider trading policies permit."
