A.D.A.M., Inc. Announces First Quarter Results

Company Reports Quarterly Net Income of $0.03 Per Share and Announces A Stock Repurchase Program

Atlanta, GA - May 4, 2004 - A.D.A.M., Inc. (Nasdaq: ADAM) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2004.

A.D.A.M, Inc. reported net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2004 of $224,000 or $0.03 per fully diluted share, as compared to net income of $299,000 or $0.04 per fully diluted share, in the year-ago quarter.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 were $1,751,000 compared to revenues of $2,344,000 in the year-ago period. The decrease in quarterly revenue and net income is primarily a result of the expiration of a content licensing agreement the Company had with WebMD Corp. that expired at the end of the first quarter of 2003. Excluding WebMD revenues from the first quarter of 2003 and comparing those results to the first quarter of 2004 results, the Company improved its bottom line performance from a loss of approximately $300,000 in the first quarter of 2003 to a profit of $224,000 in the first quarter of 2004, an increase of more than $500,000. Cash and cash equivalents were $5,372,000 as of March 31, 2004, an increase of $818,000 from $4,554,000 as of December 31, 2003.

“We are pleased to have five consecutive quarters of profitability with strong cash generation from operations and continued growth in our healthcare revenues,” commented Robert S. Cramer, Jr., A.D.A.M.’s Chairman and CEO. “With WebMD completely behind us, we expect revenues to grow both in healthcare and education over the next few quarters. Healthcare licensing is growing steadily, fueled by healthy renewals and new initiatives that are beginning to make revenue contributions. We also expect education sales to begin to grow again with this summer’s release of a major product upgrade as well as the development of new educational vertical markets. Overall, with operating expenses well contained, we are now focused on expanding our profitability through top line revenue growth,” he continued.

The Company also announced that its board of directors has authorized a stock repurchase program, effective immediately, to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Repurchases may be in the open market, including block transactions, or in privately negotiated transactions. The program will be funded by cash on hand. The timing of the purchases and the exact number of shares to be purchased will be dependent on future business and market conditions. “We believe that our prospects for growth and profitability make the repurchase of our shares at this time a good investment of corporate funds that is in the best interest of our shareholders,” Mr. Cramer said.
