Inuvo Reports 2011 First Quarter Financial Results;
Revenue Increases 26% Over First Quarter 2010
CLEARWATER, FL – May 4, 2011 – Inuvo®, Inc. (NYSE Amex: INUV), an online technology and services company, announced today its financial results for the first quarter.
Inuvo reported today revenue of $11.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, a 26% increase from the same quarter last year. Gross profit increased 52% in the first quarter to $5.4 million, resulting in a gross margin of 46% compared to $3.6 million or 38% gross margin for the same quarter last year. This increase in both gross profit and gross margin is a direct result of the Company’s initiative to drive traffic to its owned and operated web sites within the Web Properties segment via search spend.
“Both of our segments, Performance Marketing and Web Properties, reported healthy year-over-year increases in revenue and gross profit,” said Richard K. Howe, Inuvo’s CEO. “In 2011, we plan to cultivate and expand our core business while investing in favorable extensions of those businesses that offer significant growth potential."
The net loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $1.7 million compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $2.0 million for the same period last year. The current year net loss from continuing operations included a one-time charge for settlement of litigation of $374,000. The net loss including discontinued operations for the first quarter was $1.4 million compared to a $1.0 million loss for the same period last year.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure was $202,000 in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $(361,000) in the same quarter last year.

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.
