Summary of consolidated results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007:
    Total reported revenue was $112.0 million, compared to $94.3 million for the third quarter of 2006;
 
           ¢      eCOST.com revenue increased 62% to $27.0 million, compared to $16.7 million for the same period last year;
 
    Adjusted EBITDA (as defined) was $3.2 million versus $5,000 for the same period last year;
 
    Net income was $162,000 or $0.00 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.3 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2006;
 
    Merchandise sales (as defined) totaled approximately $751 million for the third quarter of 2007 versus approximately $720 million for the same period last year;
 
    Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash equaled $16.8 million as of September 30, 2007.
Mark Layton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PFSweb, stated, “This is the second consecutive quarter of consolidated profit since completing eCOST.com’s integration. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA increased to $3.2M from just $5,000 in the third quarter of 2006. These results represent steady growth in our Services Business and a more efficient, improved eCOST.com. Going into the peak holiday shopping season, which we expect will be eCOST.com’s strongest quarter moving forward, we are confident in our ability to deliver another strong financial performance and currently expect to be toward the high end of our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2007 of $8 to $10 million.”

 


 

Summary of consolidated results for the nine months ended September 30, 2007:
    Total reported revenue was $324.8 million, compared to $314.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006;
 
    Adjusted EBITDA (as defined) was $7.3 million versus $1.6 million for the same period last year;
 
    Net loss was $2.0 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $8.1 million, or $0.19 per basic and diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006;
 
    Merchandise sales (as defined) totaled nearly $2.1 billion versus $1.9 billion for the same period last year.
Please note that the prior year’s nine months consolidated results only include the financial results for eCOST.com from the date the merger closed on February 1, 2006 through September 30, 2006.
Summary of results by business:
Service Fee Business:
For the third quarter of 2007, Service Fee revenue increased 18% to $18.4 million, compared with $15.6 million for the same period in 2006. The Service Fee business reported Adjusted EBITDA of $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2007, compared to $0.1 million for the same period last year.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, Service Fee revenue increased 11% to $53.0 million, from $47.7 million for the same period in 2006. The Service Fee business reported Adjusted EBITDA of $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $3.4 million for the same period last year.
The increases in Service Fee revenue and Adjusted EBITDA are primarily attributable to activity from new clients that were added late in 2006, increased project activity in the current year and the favorable impact of exchange rates. In addition, the Service Fee revenue for the third quarter of 2007 benefited from a shift in timing of transaction volumes from a large client into this quarter as opposed to earlier in the year.
Mike Willoughby, President of PFSweb’s Services Division commented, “During the quarter, the Service Fee Business excelled, generating nearly 20% revenue growth (excluding pass-through activity). We are also pleased to announce several new client agreements were signed in the recent months. We believe this new business is driven by our ability to provide clients with global scale, world-class infrastructure and custom solutions. We continue to be excited by the potential for further new contracts as our new business pipeline remains robust at approximately $40 million, which includes over $12 million in proposals added in the third quarter.”
Supplies Distributors Business:
For the third quarter of 2007, Supplies Distributors revenue was $58.3 million, compared to $55.9 million for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2007, compared to $3.1 million for the same period last year. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily attributable to certain incremental inventory cost reductions that occurred in the 2006 period.

 


 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, Supplies Distributors revenue was $174.7 million, compared to $185.2 million for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $6.4 million for the same period last year.
Mr. Willoughby continued, “During the third quarter, results for the Supplies Distributors Business were within our expectations, with revenue of $58.3 million, a 4.3% increase over prior year, and gross margin of 6.9%. Revenue for the 2007 nine month period reflects a decline year over year due to reduced vendor promotional activity, the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and lower unit volumes as compared to the prior year.”
eCOST.com Business:
For the third quarter of 2007, eCOST.com revenue increased 62% to $27.0 million, compared to $16.7 million in the third quarter of 2006. Prior year revenue was negatively impacted by service and product merchandising issues incurred in conjunction with the 2006 integration activities of eCOST.com into the Company’s operations. On a sequential basis, eCOST.com’s quarterly revenue remained steady compared to $27.1 million in the second quarter of 2007 and improved significantly compared to $21.6 million in the first quarter of 2007. Adjusted EBITDA for eCOST.com in the quarter was a loss of $0.4 million, a significant improvement as compared to a loss of $3.2 million in the same quarter of 2006, a loss of $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2007 and a loss of $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2007.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, eCOST.com revenues increased nearly 13% to $75.7 million, compared to $67.2 million for the same period in 2006. Adjusted EBITDA for eCOST.com in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was a loss of $1.9 million, compared to a loss of $8.1 million for the same period last year. The prior year nine month period results for eCOST.com reflect only eight months of activity from the date of acquisition of February 1, 2006 through September 30, 2006.
Mr. Layton continued, “We are pleased with eCOST.com’s performance now that we have improved and streamlined its operations. These advancements have led to significant improvements in gross margins and Adjusted EBITDA results for the quarter and nine-month results. Revenues for the business were up about 12.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from the prior year period and gross profit margins increased to 8.4%. The improved gross margins are due to broader product mix, improved pricing controls, freight initiatives, reduced credit card chargeback activity and an increased number of Virtual Warehouse agreements,” concluded Mr. Layton.
Significant operating events for third quarter of 2007:
    Service Fee Business added four new partners totaling $3 to $4 million in annualized service fee revenue, based on client projections once fully implemented.
  ¢   A large specialty retailer signed a two year agreement for PFSweb to provide a seamless customer service solution in the U.S. that supports its direct to consumer business unit.
 
  ¢   Microlife AG Europe and the Blood Pressure Association (BPA) in the United Kingdom signed a two-year agreement with PFSweb for website design, configuration and hosting, order fulfillment, distribution, warehousing and financial management support for their e-commerce partnership in the U.K.

 


 

  ¡   L’Oréal, the world’s largest beauty company, selected PFSweb to provide an end-to-end fulfillment and customer service solution for its Diesel brand perfume “Fuel for Life” line. PFSweb will provide a full service solution for L’Oréal’s online store, www.diesel-parfums.com/factory, including web hosting support, warehousing, order processing, fulfillment & distribution, kitting and assembly, returns and multi-lingual call center support from its European facility in Liege-Belgium.

    PFSweb was named to Deloitte & Touche’s ‘Fast 500’ and ‘Texas Technology Fast 50’ as one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S. and Texas over the past five years
 
    PFSweb named a ‘Top 100 Great Supply Chain Partner’ by Global Logistics and Supply Chain Strategies Magazine
 
    eCOST.com launched enhanced catalogue search capability powered by Visual Sciences in time for the Holiday season.
 
    eCOST.com added 2 new Virtual Warehouses in the third quarter of 2007, bringing the total number of Virtual Warehouses to 14. Virtual Warehouses enable eCOST.com to market more new products, expand product categories and are targeted to generate higher margins on sales.
Financial Guidance for Fiscal Year 2007
PFSweb continues to target total consolidated revenues, excluding pass-through revenues, of approximately $420 million to $435 million and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $8 — $10 million for 2007. Capital expenditures for 2007 are estimated to be approximately $6 — $7 million, including amounts financed under capital leases. Achieving these targets will depend upon, among other things, achieving and maintaining the currently expected significant improvement in operations from eCOST.com and continued strong performance from our Service Fee and Supplies Distributors businesses on a year-over-year basis.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release contains the non-GAAP measures Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA.

 


 

EBITDA represents earnings (or losses) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further eliminates the effect of stock-based compensation, merger integration related expenses and a loss on a sales transaction to a former eCOST.com customer. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used by management, analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effect of financing, income taxes, the accounting effects of capital spending, stock-based compensation, merger related expenses and certain other expenses, which items may vary from different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.
Merchandise Sales
Merchandise sales represent the estimated value of all fulfillment activity that flows through PFSweb including whether or not PFSweb is the seller of the merchandise or records the full amount of such sales on its financial statements, excluding service fee revenues that PFSweb might recognize for the underlying sales transactions. PFSweb uses merchandise sales as an operating metric to allow investors to gain a more thorough understanding of its business and business volume, in addition to GAAP net revenue.
