"We are pleased to report solid first quarter 2009 financial results given the overall economic climate," stated Mark Layton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PFSweb. "On lower revenue and cost levels, our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA performance of $2.7 million for the quarter was virtually flat compared to last year. Given the economic challenges that many companies have been facing, including us, and the non-renewal of a large U.S. Government contract effective in the March quarter, I am quite pleased with our overall performance for the quarter."
Mr. Layton continued, "During the quarter we shed costs and adjusted our operational approach to better align our business with the evolving macroeconomic landscape, while also ensuring that we preserve our ability to effectively compete for new opportunities as they arise. Our services segment's new business pipeline remains at near record levels. We believe many of these new business opportunities are a result of PFSweb's End2End eCommerce(SM) offering that we launched last year. The successful rollout of this new capability has made us a leader in the web commerce solutions market."
Summary of consolidated results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009:
-- Total reported revenue was $88.9 million compared to $118.5 million for the first quarter of 2008;
-- Adjusted EBITDA (as defined) was $2.7 million versus $2.8 million for the same period last year;
-- Net loss was $0.2 million, or $(0.02) per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $0.4 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2008;
-- Non-GAAP net loss (as defined) was $0.1 million, or $(0.01) per basic and diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $0.8 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2008;
-- Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash equaled $17.6 million as of March 31, 2009 compared to $18.1 million as of December 31, 2008.
Summary of results by business:
Service Fee Business:
For the first quarter of 2009, Service Fee revenue was $17.1 million, compared with $20.8 million for the same period in 2008. This decline was primarily due to reduced service fee revenues earned under our U.S. Government contract. The Service Fee business reported Adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2009, consistent with $1.6 million for the same period last year.
Mike Willoughby, President of PFSweb's services division, commented, "The quarterly results for the Service Fee business include new client programs such as Sunglass Hut and Sephora, which were implemented in the fourth quarter of 2008, as well as our relationship with an iconic brand name company that was signed last year and implemented during this March quarter."
Mr. Willoughby continued, "During the quarter we launched the first eCommerce site for one of the brands under our previously announced master agreement with a luxury goods retailer. We launched an additional eCommerce site for a second brand under the same master agreement on May 11 with additional branded sites set to launch over the next twelve to eighteen months. We also announced a five-year agreement with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) to provide a comprehensive global fulfillment solution that supports the All Services Exchange Catalog and Online Store."
"In April, we entered into a new client relationship with a Fortune 100 company, which is expected to be implemented by the end of this year, and we are in final contracting stages with several other companies. Our current pipeline of potential new agreements, including those in process of being finalized, remains at near record levels with more than $45 million in estimated annual contract value. We believe that our expanded e-commerce capability has made us more competitive and is playing an important role in helping us win large client agreements, particularly among prestigious and luxury brands."
Supplies Distributors Business:
For the first quarter of 2009, Supplies Distributors revenue was $45.3 million, compared to $62.3 million for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared to $1.7 million for the same period last year.
Mr. Willoughby concluded, "The Supplies Distributors business, which operates primarily as a master distributor of certain client's products, saw a decrease in demand during the quarter. This decrease is primarily attributable to overall global economic pressures and inventory rationalization by its customer base."
eCOST.com Business:
For the first quarter of 2009, eCOST.com revenue was $20.9 million, compared to $28.0 million for the same period in 2008. While revenue of our business-to-consumer (B2C) segment continued to experience growth over the prior year, this growth was more than offset by a decline in our business-to-business (B2B) segment. Adjusted EBITDA for eCOST.com in the quarter was a loss of $0.4 million, an improvement compared to the loss of $0.5 million for the same period last year.
"eCOST.com reported a higher gross margin percentage and a lower Adjusted EBITDA loss compared to the first quarter of 2008 due to our continued focus on the higher margin business-to-consumer (B2C) segment. We remain focused on growing the B2C segment as we believe it is more financially attractive. During the past several months, we increased the number of products offered on the eCOST.com website to more than 250,000 SKUs and expect more to be added in the next several quarters. Some of these expanded offerings include housewares, watches, floor covering and kitchen products," concluded Mr. Layton.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release contains the non-GAAP measures non-GAAP net income (loss), Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA.
Non-GAAP net income (loss) represents net income (loss) calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP as adjusted for the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, amortization of identifiable intangible assets and impairment of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.
EBITDA represents earnings (or losses) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further eliminates the effect of stock-based compensation, merger integration related expenses and impairment of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.
Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used by management, analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry. The calculation of non-GAAP net income (loss) eliminates the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA further eliminates the effect of financing, income taxes, the accounting effects of capital spending and certain other merger related expenses, which items may vary from different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.
PFSweb believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of its core operating results. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the GAAP results in the attached tables.
