WEBB INTERACTIVE SERVICES, INC. REPORTS STRONG

FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAREND RESULTS FOR FISCAL 2003

Jabber, Inc. Achieves Profitability In Fourth Quarter and Positive Cash Flow for the Year;

Company Doubles And Triples Net Revenues For Year and Quarter, Respectively

DENVER, CO – (Business Wire) – March 16, 2004 – Webb Interactive Services, Inc. (OTCBB:WEBB), a developer and marketer of real-time communications software and instant messaging (IM) solutions through its 43%-owned subsidiary, Jabber, Inc., today announced financial results for both Webb and Jabber for the year ended December 31, 2003.

On March 19, 2003, Webb sold a portion of its interest in Jabber in a $7.2 million strategic financing transaction with Intel Capital, Intel’s strategic investing arm, and France Telecom Technology Investissements, the technology investment vehicle of France Telecom. Consequently, Webb’s ownership stake in Jabber is now reflected as a minority interest of 43%. As such, Webb has ceased consolidating Jabber’s results of operations and financial position with its own, and now reports its investment in Jabber using the equity method of accounting. Jabber’s results of operations and its financial position will be reported separately.

For the year ended December 31, 2003, Webb’s net loss applicable to common shareholders was $2.19 million, or $0.10 loss per share, compared with a net loss of $6.87 million, or $0.36 loss per share, reported for the year ended December 31, 2002, which included a one-time non-cash gain of $0.08 per share.

Highlights from Jabber’s fiscal performance for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2003 were:

For the three months ended December 31, 2003

• Net revenues increased 248% to $4.32 million, compared to net revenues of $1.24 million reported for 2002;

• Net income was $1.8 million for the 2003 period, compared to a net loss of $385,000 for the same three month period in the previous year; and

• Cash provided by operations was $709,000 for the 2003 period, compared to $147,000 used in operations in the comparable period in 2002.

For the year ended December 31, 2003

• Net revenues more than doubled to $7.42 million for 2003 compared to net revenues of $3.39 million reported for 2002;

• For 2003, net losses were $3.26 million, which included a one-time non-cash expense of $1.57 million related to the March 2003 financing, compared to net losses of $5.28 million posted for 2002; and

• Cash provided by operations was $255,000 for 2003, compared to $3.52 million of cash used in operations in prior year.

“2003 was a good year for Jabber, Inc., all things considered. The Company’s financial results reflect how the Jabber team remained focused on driving sales, controlling costs and exploiting the growing market for extensible instant messaging and presence management solutions. Jabber revenues more than doubled year over year, the user base of its

commercial software increased to over four million seats and Jabber attracted world class organizations to the Company’s cache of customers. These milestones would not have been possible without the support of our investment partners – France Telecom and Intel, as well as many of our industry partners,” stated Bill Cullen, Chief Executive Officer of Webb Interactive Services.

2004 Financial and Operational Outlook for Jabber, Inc.

Continuing, Cullen added, “The Company’s goal in 2004 and beyond is to lessen its dependence on the several large customer successes that dominated our growth in 2003. In view of this historical dependence on large customers and a majority of revenues occurring in the second half of the year, the company’s 2004 plan assumes only a modest growth in revenues and less than a 10% increase in operating expenses. The company believes that the draft standards for presence-enabled communications adopted by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) will attract enterprise buyers and developers alike to an XMPP-based IM solution that will greatly assist Jabber in achieving its goals. All in all, 2003 was the year that Jabber effectively unlocked the value of its technology but 2004 will be the year that we focus Jabber, Inc. on assuming dominance in several important vertical markets and in investing prudently in carrier market opportunities that carry huge market potential in 2005 and beyond.”

• Jabber expects the net revenue pattern in 2004 to be similar to last year with 65% or more of revenues occurring in the 2^nd half of the year;

• Overall, Jabber expects to achieve net profitability for the year based on achieving 2^nd half revenue goals;

• Less than 10% operating expense growth in 2004 over 2003 is planned;

• Successfully completing the search for a Chief Executive Officer and other critical management vacancies is the highest priority in the 1^st half of the year.

The Company will host a teleconference and webcast this afternoon beginning at 4:15PM Eastern today, and invites all interested parties to join management in a discussion regarding Webb and Jabber’s financial results, corporate progression and other meaningful developments.
