EDGAR Online Operating Results Improve $1.3 Million;
Subscription Revenue Increases 45%
SOUTH NORWALK, CT, October 29, 2002- EDGAR Online, Inc (NASDAQ: EDGR) today reported continued positive EBITDA and an EPS loss of $(0.02) for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. EDGAR Online is a leader in the business information industry, specializing in the extraction, packaging and distribution of public company information contained in SEC filings.
EDGAR Online reported revenue of $4.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, a decrease of 5% compared to the same period last year. Strong growth in the Company's core subscription business was offset by a 36% decline in the Company's technical services revenue. Seat-based subscription revenue increased 45% from last year primarily due to the sale of over 4,000 seats to its professional EDGARpro and 13Fpro services. At September 30, 2002, the Company has over 26,200 subscribers. Since inception, the Company's subscription revenues have grown each quarter.
"We continue to be the most recognized provider of information contained in SEC filings and due to congressional rule-making the intrinsic value of our data continues to increase," said Susan Strausberg, EDGAR Online's CEO. "Our longstanding programs to encourage the users of our value-added services to pay a fair price for what we provide are bearing fruit. During the quarter we announced a program that will limit the amount of free information we will serve up on our FreeEDGAR web site. These "free-to-fee" programs have been very successful in creating new paying customers and generating leads for our sales force, who use them to sell enterprise-wide seat licenses and customized data feeds."
