Onstream Media Corporation Reports Fiscal 2007 Third Quarter Results

Company Reports Record Quarterly Revenue and Improved Operating Cash Flow


POMPANO BEACH, FL – August 13, 2007 – Onstream Media Corporation ( OTC: ONSM), a leading online service provider of live and on-demand digital media communications and applications, announced today its unaudited third quarter fiscal year 2007 financial results, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007.

Financial Highlights:

  • Revenues increased by approximately 63% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 to a record level of approximately $3.8 million, from approximately $2.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006.
  • Since the mid-quarter acquisition and integration of Infinite Conferencing on April 27, 2007, Onstream has achieved positive net cash flow from operating activities (before changes in working capital components). The Company reported negative cash from operating activities of approximately $142,000 for the entire third quarter compared to approximately $979,000 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, an 85% improvement.
  • Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 improved to 67.6%, versus 63.6% for the corresponding prior year quarter. This increase was primarily due to the gross margin of 83.5% on Infinite Conferencing’s audio and web conferencing revenues.
  • The net loss for the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 was approximately $1.5 million ($0.04 loss per share), which includes approximately $1.4 million of non-cash expenses, comprised primarily of depreciation and amortization as well as professional fees paid in shares and options. The net loss for the corresponding prior year period was approximately $1.2 million ($0.08 loss per share).

Balance Sheet Highlights:

  • At June 30, 2007, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $789,000 and working capital of approximately $1.9 million.
  • As a result of the conversion and/or repayment of all of the Company’s debt except for capital leases as of June 30, 2007, its receivables and equipment are unencumbered.
  • The Company’s stockholders’ equity increased approximately 47% from the end of the prior quarter, to approximately $35.0 million as of June 30, 2007, versus approximately $23.8 million as of March 31, 2007, primarily due to the issuance of shares for the Infinite acquisition and the related private equity offering.

Financial Discussion:

Randy Selman, president and chief executive officer of Onstream Media, stated, “As a result of increased sales and the integration of the Infinite Conferencing acquisition, I am pleased to report that Onstream has achieved our long-held goal of becoming cash flow positive. Just as importantly, we have expanded our growth rate, with the operations of Infinite Conferencing having been fully integrated and a cross marketing program now underway resulting in increased sales to existing customers.  It should be noted that even without the full benefit of such marketing efforts, Infinite’s revenue base grew to approximately $1.9 million during the June 30, 2007 quarter, versus approximately $1.8 million during the March 31, 2007 quarter.  Approximately $1.3 million of that $1.9 million, representing revenue after the acquisition date, was included in Onstream’s reported sales.  In addition our webcasting revenues grew by approximately 28% and 35% for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to the comparable prior year periods. In addition, the number of DMSP accounts continues to increase and is up to 115, from the 80 accounts we reported on May 21.”

“We believe that the considerable number of transactions and agreements we’ve announced in recent months will shortly begin to be reflected by an even further expansion of our revenue base,” continued Mr. Selman. “In fact, our recently completed distribution agreement with ASPA Japan Co., Ltd., which expands our presence into the Middle East and calls for a $1 million advance cash payment to us for the territory rights, comes as a direct result of our March 2007 purchase of Auction Video. As a result of this agreement, ASPA will shortly begin marketing all of Onstream’s products and services and will be paid commissions on all sales made by them in the region. We also expect our results in future quarters to benefit from our emerging relationships with Dell, Televisa, eBay, Bonnier, FiveAcross/Cisco, Qwest, Adobe and Akamai, among others.”

“Looking ahead,” Mr. Selman continued, “we expect our fiscal fourth quarter results, due to internally generated growth coupled with a full quarter of contribution from the acquired operations of Infinite Conferencing, to reflect quarterly revenues in excess of $4.1 million and a continuing reduction of our quarterly net loss. Moreover, that quarterly net loss will be entirely due to non-cash expenses, as we expect to maintain positive cash flow – cash provided by operating activities, before working capital changes – for the quarter.”

The approximately 63% increase in revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the comparable quarter of the previous fiscal year, was primarily due to approximately $1.3 million of audio and web conferencing revenues recognized since the Infinite acquisition on April 27, 2007, having no corresponding effect in the comparable prior year quarter. The increased revenues also reflect continued higher webcast production services sales and a continuation of the past growth in sales of higher priced video webcasts. The number of webcasts produced increased to approximately 1,600 webcasts for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, versus approximately 1,300 webcasts for the comparable quarter of fiscal 2006.

Onstream Media will hold a conference call on Monday, August 13, 2007 at 4:15 pm ET to discuss its fiscal year 2007 third quarter financial results. Management discussion will be followed by an open Q&A session.
