EDGAR Online Reports Fourth Quarter 2009 Results
XBRL Filings Revenues Increase
NEW YORK, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EDGAR® Online, Inc. (Nasdaq: EDGR) today announced that total revenues were $5.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to $4.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, net income was $170,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to a net loss of ($517,000) for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 and adjusted EBITDA was $1.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to $374,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. Total revenues were $19.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $19.5 million for 2008, net loss was ($950,000) for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to ($2.7 million) for 2008 and adjusted EBITDA was $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $914,000 for 2008. EDGAR Online is a leader in the creation of XBRL financial reports and the distribution of company data and public filings for equities, mutual funds and a variety of other publicly traded assets.
XBRL filings revenues were $1.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, a 227% increase from the same quarter last year. XBRL filings revenues were $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, a 202% increase from 2008. The increases in XBRL filings revenues in 2009 were partially offset by decreases in data and solutions and subscriptions revenues for these periods.
"While there is no doubt that 2009 was a challenging year, we are proud of our performance," said Philip Moyer, EDGAR Online President and CEO. "Our significant investment in our XBRL filings offering is beginning to pay off. We believe we are the leader in quality, timeliness and ability to scale in the XBRL filings space. Since the start of the XBRL mandate, we have submitted more error-free filings to the SEC than any other provider. We hope to continue to keep the costs of XBRL filing down while driving up the bar for quality versus our competitors."
"We ended this year with a strong fourth quarter in both revenue and adjusted EBITDA. We remained agile in 2009 by streamlining our costs and focusing our resources in the face of a deep and difficult recession. Overall, we grew our filings business, but were down in data and subscriptions. However we remain optimistic about our future and the further implementation of the SEC XBRL mandate," added Mr. Moyer.
Key 2009 accomplishments include:
- Achieved 35% market share for XBRL mandated tagging;
- Highest SEC validation rate in the XBRL industry;
- Reached the milestone of creating over 1,000 XBRL translations for clients since the launch of the Xcelerate XBRL Filing Solution;
- Launched new versions of the I-Metrix Xcelerate platform including the functionality to handle detailed footnote tagging and mutual fund tagging;
- Launched XBRL rendering components and partnerships that allow companies to display XBRL-tagged financial information on their corporate websites;
- Launched a streamlined delivery method for our XBRL-tagged fundamental data which significantly improved speed and flexibility; and
- Celebrated our ten-year anniversary as a publicly traded company.
Operating income was $253,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to an operating loss of ($408,000) for the same quarter last year. Operating loss was ($575,000) for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to ($2.2 million) for the year ended December 31, 2008. The improved financial results were primarily due to an increase in XBRL filings revenue and lower operating costs.
Deferred revenue was $3.4 million at December 31, 2009 compared to $4.2 million at December 31, 2008. Deferred revenue represents amounts billed to customers that will be recognized as revenue in future quarters as the company's products and services are utilized. During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the company capitalized $450,000 of costs for the development of internal software related to the XBRL filings business, which are included in property and equipment.
At December 31, 2009, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $2.3 million, the same amount as reported at December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2009, the company has a $2.5 million revolving credit facility, none of which had been drawn down.

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. As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company provides the above reconciliation to net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP 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 financial position and 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. As 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.
