Exhibit 99.1
 
Crexendo Reports Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results
 
PHOENIX, Aug. 9, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crexendo, Inc. (AMEX:EXE), a provider of Cloud-based infrastructure services to small and mid-sized businesses, which includes telecom and website hosting services, ecommerce software, website development, and Internet marketing services, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2011.
 
Second Quarter 2011 Compared to 2010
 
Net loss for the second quarter of 2011 was $9,345,000 or $0.88 per diluted common share, compared to a net income of $51,000 or $0.00 per diluted common share in the prior year quarter. Loss before income tax provision for the second quarter of 2011 was $3,183,000, which included $1,075,000 in impairments and other one-time charges associated with the announced restructuring of our StoresOnline division, compared to income of $127,000 in the prior year quarter. During the second quarter of 2011 we placed a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets due to uncertainties surrounding our ability to utilize these deferred tax assets. This valuation allowance resulted in an income tax provision for the second quarter of 2011 of $6,162,000, compared to an income tax provision of $76,000 in the prior year quarter. Cash provided by operating activities for the second quarter of 2011 was $538,000, compared to $467,000 for the prior year quarter. As of June 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents were $11,666,000, which included $1,088,000 of restricted cash, working capital was $4,292,000, and working capital excluding deferred revenue was $20,372,000. Total current and long-term trade receivables were $24,787,000 as of June 30, 2011.
 
StoresOnline Restructuring
 
In July 2011, we initiated plans to restructure our StoresOnline division and improve efficiencies in our operations as a result of the continued lack of profitability and other challenges in our seminar sales channel. During the second quarter we had $1,075,000 in impairment and other charges associated with this restructuring and expect to have additional charges beginning in the third quarter. The actions we took during these restructurings include the suspension of our direct mail marketing campaigns and sales of our products and services through our StoresOnline seminar sales channel, refinement of our product portfolio focused towards recurring revenue of Cloud-based business infrastructure services and redeployment of our sales and marketing resources to increase our direct sales, inside sales, and our online sales channels.
 
Segment Results
 
StoresOnline
 
Revenue for the second quarter of 2011 decreased 1% to $16,928,000 compared to $17,083,000 for the prior year quarter. Total segment operating expenses increased 19% to $18,103,000 in the current quarter from $15,270,000 in the prior year quarter. 
 
 
 

 
Segment other income, primarily related to interest on the collection of accounts receivable increased 9% to $1,276,000 in the current quarter from $1,169,000 in the prior year quarter.
 
Total segment income before income tax provision decreased 97% to $101,000 in the current quarter from $2,982,000 in the prior year quarter.
 
Crexendo Web Services
 
Revenue for the second quarter of 2011 increased 51% to $550,000 compared to $365,000 in the prior year quarter. Crexendo Web Services backlog was $1,196,000 at June 30, 2011 compared to a backlog of $557,000 at June 30, 2010.
 
Total segment operating expenses increased 42% to $1,149,000 during the current quarter compared to $808,000 in the prior year quarter. The increase in segment operating expenses is primarily due to an increase in direct sales costs and fulfillment costs as we prepare for increases in sales.
 
Total segment operating loss increased 35% to $599,000 in the current quarter compared to $443,000 in the prior year quarter.
 
Crexendo Network Services
 
We began our phase one launch of Crexendo Network services by selling products at our StoresOnline events during the three months ended March 31, 2011. As part of our phase one offering, we provided a free trial period to our customers, with the first billings totaling $18,000 occurring in the second quarter of 2011. Total Crexendo Network Services operating expenses were $507,000 for the current quarter compared to $339,000 in the prior year quarter. 
 
Six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010
 
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $11,196,000 or $1.05 per diluted common share, compared to $174,000 or $0.02 per diluted common share in the comparable period last year. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased 7% to $32,064,000 compared to $34,542,000 for the comparable period last year. Revenue from our Crexendo Web Services division was $1,029,000 compared to $607,000 in the comparable period last year.  Total operating expenses increased 11% to $40,654,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $36,465,000 for the comparable period last year. Cash used in operating activities was $2,769,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to cash used of $25,000 for the comparable period last year.
 
Steven G. Mihaylo, Chief Executive Officer of Crexendo, stated, "The results of this quarter are disappointing, and they support the necessary steps we made to restructure our StoresOnline division and move quickly to reduce the expenses associated with the seminar sales channel.  Transitioning away from the seminar sales channel provides us with the flexibility to aggressively pursue other sales channels that we feel will provide better long term growth opportunities and enhance shareholder value. We believe the changes made position us for long-term growth, profitability, greater competitiveness and improved efficiency across our business
 
 
 

 
The restructuring plan we have put in place is not without some risk.  However, we feel the timing is right, and the risk is somewhat mitigated by the substantial revenue backlog we have built up in the form of our accounts receivable balance, which we expect to provide nearly $24,787,000 in future revenue and cash flow over the next two to three years.
 
Additionally, this transition provides us with the resources necessary to reallocate our sales and marketing resources to developing sustainable sales channels focused on creating recurring revenue and long term customer relationships. We have begun ramping the hiring of direct sales reps in our Crexendo division and as of today have 16 direct sales reps with plans to hire an additional 3 to 4 per month. We are also increasing the size of our inside sales force, which will be focused on serving the consumer market that was previously served by our seminar sales channel.  We are currently testing different pricing plans associated with online offers and webinar sales.  We expect to have those rolled out by the first quarter of 2012. In addition to our direct sales, inside sales, and online sales channels, we are also pursuing strategic relationships to sell through affiliates and by co-branding with partners.
 
We are excited about the future of our company and believe the difficult decision we made to suspend our seminar sales channel was in the best interest of our shareholders. We will aggressively pursue additional sales channels with a single focus of creating long lasting customer relationships, which we believe will result in a sustainable recurring revenue model."
