Three Month Financial Results for the Period Ended June 30, 2011
Inuvo reported today revenue of $9.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, a $2.2 million decrease from the same quarter last year. Gross profit decreased $85,000 in the second quarter to $4.1 million compared to $4.2 million in the same quarter last year, though gross margins increased to 45% from 37% in the same quarter last year. The decrease in gross profit is due to lower revenue in the search marketing and telemarketing businesses.
The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $1.8 million compared to a net loss of $1.1 million for the same period last year. The current year net loss includes a one-time $340,000 fee and a $100,745 write off of a note receivable, both related to the termination of an outsourced telemarketing contract.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure was a loss of $333,010 in the second quarter of 2011 compared to a positive $496,848 in the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA, net of these one-time charges was a positive $107,735 in the quarter.
In June 2011, the Company raised $2.7 million with the sale of 1,350,000 shares of its common stock and warrants to buy an additional 675,000 shares of common stock at $2.20. The proceeds are being used for ongoing working capital.
Six Month Financial Results for the Period Ended June 30, 2011
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Inuvo reported revenue of $21 million, a $302,000 increase from the same period last year. Gross profit increased $1.8 million this year compared to $9.5 million compared to $7.8 in the same period last year. Gross margins increased to 45% from 38% in the same period last year. The increase in gross profit is due primarily to directing consumers to our owned and operated properties.
The net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $3.5 million compared to a net loss of $3.1 million for the same period last year. The current year net loss includes several one-time charges; $374,800 for settlement of litigation, and a $340,000 fee and a $101,745 write off of a note receivable, both related to the termination of an outsourced telemarketing contract.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure was a loss of $131,021 in the six month period of 2011 compared to a positive $136,998 in the same period last year. The adjusted EBITDA for the six month period of 2011, net of one-time charges was a positive $684,524.

Reconciliation of Net Loss from Continuing Operations to Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), our earnings release contains the non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted EBITDA.”
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance defined in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s performance because Adjusted EBITDA is a commonly used financial analysis tool for measuring and comparing companies in the Company’s industry in areas of operating performance.
Management believes that the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA offers an additional view of the Company’s operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliation to GAAP net loss, provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business.
We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We defined Adjusted EBITDA as net loss from continuing operations plus (i) interest expense, net, (ii) provision for taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, and (iv) stock based payments. These further adjustments are itemized above. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same or similar to some of the adjustments in the presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
