| PLANO, Texas, Mar 3, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- PFSweb, Inc. (Nasdaq:PFSW), a global provider of integrated business process outsourcing (BPO) solutions, today reported its results for the quarter and fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2004. PFSweb's consolidated results were as follows (In millions, except per share data): Quarter Ended Year Ended
Dec. 31, 2004 Dec. 31, 2004
-------------- -------------
Product Revenue $72.0 $267.5
Service Fee Revenue, excluding affiliate $12.3 $42.1
Net income before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization $2.8 $7.1
Net income $1.1 $0.2
Net income per share $0.05 $0.01
The consolidated balance sheet as of Dec. 31, 2004, reflects $130.3 million in total assets, including $17.0 million in cash, of which $3.4 million is restricted, and shareholders' equity of $29.9 million, or $1.39 per share. "We are extremely pleased with the December quarter and year-end results," said Mark C. Layton, Senior Partner and Chief Executive Officer of PFSweb. "Our team continues to achieve significant milestones for our company, including: -- Full year profitability -- 2004 is the first fiscal year we
have reported net income since our IPO and represents a $4.0
million improvement from our 2003 results.
-- Consecutive profitable quarters -- The December quarter
results represent record net income from ongoing operations
and the third consecutive quarter that we have reported
profitable results.
-- Record revenues -- Our consolidated revenue for the December
quarter was $87.1 million, the highest level in our history.
-- Strong new business activity -- We were very successful during
2004 with new contract signings. In addition, our lead and
proposal pipeline remains robust, including currently pending
proposals for more than $30 million in annual service fees."
"Our service fee revenues, excluding affiliate, for the December quarter were $12.3 million, a record quarterly level for our service fee business segment," stated Tom Madden, Senior Partner and Chief Financial Officer of PFSweb. "These results included the benefit from several incremental projects. During the quarter, we also generated increased service fee revenue from some of the new contracts signed during 2004." "We had our best year ever for gaining new client relationships," Layton said. "During 2004, PFSweb was successful in winning new contracts with an estimated value exceeding $20 million in annual service fees based on current client projections. These new relationships include Raytheon Aircraft Company, FLAVIA(R) Beverage Systems, Rene Furterer USA, CHiA'SSO and other unnamed clients including a Fortune 500 consumer products firm, a major nutraceutical company, a prepaid wireless provider and a healthcare payment provider. Due to contractual agreements, we are often prohibited from mentioning new clients by name. Service fee revenues invoiced from these new contracts in 2004 were approximately $5.0 million, including $2.9 million during the December quarter. We currently expect to invoice more than 80% of the annual run-rate of these new contracts in 2005. "We continue to expand our operations and technology infrastructure to meet existing and new client growth requirements. As we announced in November 2004, we leased an additional facility in Southaven, Miss., just a short distance from our distribution hub in Memphis, Tenn. This new facility became operational in January 2005. Also during the December 2004 quarter, we expanded this facility to accommodate a new service parts facility for one of our large, existing clients. We continue to evaluate our facilities to ensure our infrastructure and available space meet the needs of our current and prospective clients." "To support our new client relationships, we incurred additional capital expenditures during the December quarter, primarily to support the incremental business in our new Southaven distribution center," added Madden. "Upon completion, which is expected to occur during the first and second quarters of 2005, we expect the total capital expenditures to support this facility will total approximately $6 million. We financed a significant portion of these expenditures via the issuance of $5 million of Mississippi taxable revenue bonds. We have classified $1.3 million of the bond proceeds as restricted cash at Dec. 31, 2004, as the proceeds are restricted specifically for payment on capital additions or as repayment on the outstanding bonds. The bond financing provides us the flexibility to use our cash for operations and other growth opportunities. "We also amended and extended our financing agreement with Comerica Bank. This agreement provides for up to $5 million of available financing under a revolving working capital line of credit through 2007 and a $1 million equipment line of credit through June 2008. Our existing credit facilities provide us with a solid financial foundation to support our current business level. As we continue to grow, further expansion efforts may require us to seek additional financing sources, such as bank, equity or lease financing, to maintain our existing cash levels." "We are very pleased with our 2004 financial results and the progress we continue to make," Layton said. "As we look ahead, in 2005 our goal is to capitalize on our growth momentum and client diversity by targeting a much broader group of Fortune 500 and Global 1000 companies. We believe our experience and technology offering allow us to market our services to many other industry segments, including aerospace, healthcare, automotive and large equipment manufacturers. Additionally, in 2005 we will focus our efforts to increase the number of large value contracts that we pursue. We believe this strategic avenue provides us the greatest ability to leverage our team of experts. We are targeting to win new business in 2005 with annual, run-rate service fees of $25 million, only a portion of which would result in invoiced activity during 2005. We currently estimate that the new contracts won in 2004 and in 2005 will yield gross margins ranging from 25% to 35% once fully operational. Certain of these contracts may require incremental implementation costs. "Our service fee business growth rate target is 25% to 35% for 2005, and we expect single-digit growth from our product revenue business. While we expect this incremental service fee revenue to yield increased gross profit, we expect this profit will be offset somewhat by incremental investments to implement new contracts, investments in infrastructure and sales and marketing to support our targeted growth and professional fees related to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We also expect interest costs to increase in 2005 due to higher interest rates. For fiscal 2005, we are currently targeting earnings per share between $0.00 and $0.03, excluding the impact of any non-cash compensation-related charges. "We reiterate that the March quarter has been and is expected to continue to be our weakest quarter due to seasonal fluctuations of certain clients. However, we do not expect this seasonality factor to be as significant in 2005 due to product release schedule changes from certain of our clients. We continue to target a significantly improved result for the March 2005 quarter as compared to the March 2004 results. "Our many strengths continue to put us in front of prospective clients with an advantage over our competition," Layton emphasized. "Everything we offer is 'world class,' which has allowed us to develop a reputation as a high quality service provider. Our business solutions are custom tailored to meet each client's specific needs. Our systems can easily converse with virtually any IT platform. Most importantly, our people are experts in their fields of discipline. From technology to logistics to customer contact, we offer our clients the world's leading solutions design talent." The Company has modified its financial statement presentation of certain liabilities such that it now classifies amounts outstanding under inventory financing arrangements with IBM Credit as a component of vendor accounts payable. Historically, the Company has reported these amounts as short-term debt. The Company's billings for reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, including travel, and certain third-party vendor expenses such as shipping and handling costs and telecommunication charges, are included in pass-through revenue. Historically, the related reimbursable costs were reflected as pass-through charges and reduced total gross service fee revenue in computing net service fee revenue. The Company has modified its financial statement presentation and now classifies the related reimbursable costs as a component of cost of pass-through revenue. The impact of this reclassification is to increase total revenues and total costs of revenues, but the gross profit earned on service fee revenues remains unchanged.

in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
(B) EBITDA or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and
amortization, and excluding equity in earnings of affiliate, is
widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties.
We present EBITDA because we believe it is useful in evaluating
our operating performance compared to that of other companies in
our industry, as the calculation of EBITDA eliminates the effect
of financing, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital
spending, which items may vary from different companies for
reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. EBITDA is not
a financial measure determined by generally accepted accounting
principles and should not be considered as an alternative to net
loss as a measure of operating results or to cash flows as a
measure of funds available for discretionary or other liquidity
purposes. EBITDA may not be comparably calculated from one company
to another. A reconciliation of Net income (loss) to EBITDA is as
follows:
