RelationServe Media, Inc. Announces Second Quarter Results RelationServe Media, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: RSVM) a leading provider of permission-based e-marketing solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005. The Company's quarterly results were highlighted by $3.9 million in revenues, an increase of 57.5% in revenues compared to the corresponding period in 2004. Total revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 were $6.7 million, an increase of 73.8% from the corresponding period in 2004. Earnings for the quarter were $703,797 or earnings per diluted share of $0.04. Earnings for the six-month period were $1,050,827 or earnings per diluted share of $0.06. Earnings in the 2004 periods benefited from the predecessor company's status as a partnership thereby resulting in no tax impact on earnings.
"We are extremely pleased with our performance this quarter and especially with the expansion in our business development efforts," said Warren Musser, Chairman of RelationServe Media. "Our recurring customer base has been steadily increasing and has facilitated an ongoing expansion in our database. Consequently, we have been able to grow the business efficiently by leveraging our growing database as evidenced by the company's improved margins."
Quarterly gross profit grew during the quarter to $3.6 million representing 90.5% of revenues compared to $2.2 million representing 85.6% of revenues in the corresponding period in 2004. Operating income for the quarter was $1.1 million, an increase of 59.9% from the corresponding period in 2004. However, on a percentage of revenues basis, operating income grew at a more moderate rate to 28.6% in the 2005 second quarter, compared to 28.2% in the corresponding period in 2004, primarily due to the initiation of a reserve for receivables in 2005.
As of June 30, 2005, the Company had only $700,000 of debt outstanding. Total cash and short-term investments available was approximately $2.9 million.
"We believe that RelationServe has established an excellent foundation for future growth as evidenced by our healthy and growing financial condition and expanding client base," commented Mr. Musser. "We expect the strength of our brand and the quality of our customer experience will enable us to continue to expand our client base and unearth complementary acquisition opportunities as we execute our business model."
