FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, November 12, 2009 – eDiets.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: DIET), a leading provider of convenient at-home diet, fitness and healthy lifestyle solutions, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.

Revenues for the third quarter of 2009 were $4.2 million, compared to $4.8 million in the prior year period. The net loss was $(3.3) million, or $(0.13) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2009 compared to $(3.2) million, or $(0.13) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2008.

Adjusted EBITDA*, defined as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, severance charges and bad debt recovery or expense, for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was $(1.2) million compared to $(1.4) million in the prior year period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded revenues of $14.2 million compared to $20.0 million for the same period last year. Net loss was $(8.8) million, or $(0.35) per share, compared to $(11.5) million, or $(0.46) per share, for the first nine months of 2008. Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2009 totaled $(2.2) million compared to $(6.2) million in the comparable prior year period.

Third Quarter and Recent Operating Highlights:

 

 

Expanded margins on meal delivery program to 39% (excluding revenue share, depreciation and promotional costs) from 36% in the second quarter and 31% in the first quarter

 

 

Produced and began testing new television commercial for meal delivery service

 

 

Launched a new e-commerce weight loss store

 

 

Raised a total of $3.7 million via Private Placements with the Company’s largest shareholder, as well as certain members of management and the Board of Directors since the end of Q2 to-date

“We are encouraged by our efforts to drive our business toward profitability and excited about the opportunities ahead,” said Kevin McGrath, President and Chief Executive Officer of eDiets.com. “While our third quarter results reflect economic challenges and traditional seasonal weakness in the diet industry, we continued to execute well on our strategies, with a sequential improvement in meal delivery margins and improved overall productivity.

* Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management regularly reviews adjusted EBITDA as an analytical indicator of the Company’s financial performance and believes that it is useful to investors in evaluating operating performance. In addition, the Company uses adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance for its business segments and for incentive compensation purposes. The Company does not intend for adjusted EBITDA to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this report that reflect management’s expectations regarding future events and economic performance are forward-looking in nature and, accordingly, are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding our expectation that we will seek additional capital through a private placement or public offering of our common stock; our belief regarding market demand for our products; our expectation that our total gross margins will improve in the future as our efforts to improve meal delivery margin are realized; our expectation that revenue streams from revenue sources other than digital plan subscriptions will continue to become a larger share of total revenues; our belief that we can rapidly secure alternate technology infrastructure vendors if we experience an interruption in Web site service; our expectation that we will be successful in implementing programs designed to enhance the privacy protection of our visitors to our Web site; our expectation that we will conduct our operations in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements; our expectation regarding the effect of any legal proceedings or legal inquiries on our financial condition or results of operations; and our estimates regarding certain accounting and tax matters, including the adoption of certain accounting pronouncements.

These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. We wish to caution readers that certain important factors may have affected and could in the future affect our actual results and could cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. These factors include those risk factors set forth in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our annual and quarterly reports, and the following:

 

   

our ability to raise additional capital through a private placement or public offering of our common stock;

 

   

our ability to accurately assess market demand for our products;

 

   

our ability to improve our meal delivery margin and its effect on total gross margins;

 

   

our ability to rapidly secure alternate technology infrastructure vendors if we experience Web site service interruption;

 

   

our ability to successfully implement programs designed to enhance the privacy protection of our visitors to our Web site;

 

   

our ability to maintain compliance with applicable regulatory requirements;

 

   

our ability to sufficiently increase our revenues and maintain expenses and cash capital expenditures at appropriate levels;


   

the state of the credit markets and capital markets, including the level of volatility, illiquidity and interest rates; and

 

   

our ability to successfully estimate certain accounting and tax matters, including the effect on our Company of adopting certain accounting pronouncements.

These risks are not exhaustive and may not include factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We do not undertake any responsibility to update any of these forward-looking statements to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations.
