Inuvo, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Sequential Revenue Increases 19% and Net Income of $0.02 per Share(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) CONWAY, AR -- (Marketwired) -- 10/30/14 -- Inuvo, Inc. (NYSE MKT: INUV), an Internet marketing and technology company that delivers purchase-ready customers to advertisers through a broad network of desktop and mobile websites and apps, today announced net income of $403,000 or $0.02 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2014. Revenue for the quarter was $13 million, compared to $10.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 and $14.5 million for the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2014 and $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2013. "Sequential growth and net income have so far exceeded our expectations in 2014. We have been able to deliver solid results across the board through the first nine months with both business segments reporting double digit compounded sequential quarterly growth while also positively contributing to our mobile expansion objectives, where revenue in the quarter reached 49% of the total," stated Richard Howe, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Inuvo. "We believe we are on the right track with solid quarterly financial performance, a stronger balance sheet and the successful transition out of a product line that represented half of 2012's revenue." Third Quarter 2014 Highlights Net income was $403,000 or $0.02 per diluted share. ALOT sites and applications revenue was $5.6 million, a 187% improvement over 2013. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $1.2 million. The Partner Segment grew 27% and the Owned & Operated Segment grew 10% sequentially. Revenue and quality per lead delivered to clients had double digit percentage improvements. Appbar revenue was less than $350,000 dollars. First Nine Months 2014 Highlights Net income was $1.5 million or $0.06 per diluted share, a 100% improvement over 2013. ALOT sites revenue was $14.1 million, a 134% improvement over 2013. Adjusted EBITDA was $3.7 million unchanged from the first nine months of 2013. Revenue has grown from $10.1 million, to $10.9 million, to $13 million in the first, second and third quarters, respectively. The Inuvo business is managed along two segments, the Partner Network and the Owned and Operated Network. The Partner Network facilitates transactions between advertisers and our partners' websites and applications. The Owned and Operated Network designs, builds and markets mobile-ready consumer websites and applications under the ALOT brand. The segments share the utilization of the company's core ad delivery technology platform. Three-month financial results for the period ended September 30, 2014 Net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014, was $13 million as compared to $14.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. While there were both increases in the Owned and Operated Network and decreases in the Partner Network over this period, the principal reason for the overall decline revolves around the stated strategy to transition out of the Appbar product. Appbar revenue for the three months period decreased from $1.75 million in 2013 to $0.35 million in 2014 and for the nine month period decreased from $9.3 million in 2013 to $1.87 million in 2014. We expect the Appbar revenue to be near zero by the end of 2014. In addition, we incurred lower revenue but higher margin in the Partner Network in the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same quarter last year due to a focus on delivering higher quality clicks and the continued enforcement of publisher contract terms and conditions associated with that strategy. Revenue in our Owned and Operated Network was $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $3.7 million in the same quarter last year and reflects the transition from toolbar to content rich websites and applications within the segment. Though Marketing expense was higher in the third quarter 2014 compared to the same quarter last year due to the launching of owned & operated websites and applications, both Compensation expense and Selling, general and administrative expense ran below last year. For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure was $1.2 million largely unchanged from the third quarter of 2013. The Company reported net income of $403,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2014 Cash and cash equivalents totaled $3.5 million at September 30, 2014. Current assets and total assets were $9 million and $25.8 million, respectively and current liabilities and total liabilities were $11.1 million and $18.4 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2014. Bank debt was reduced to $4.5 million from $6.1 million at December 31, 2013. Stockholders' equity was approximately $7.4 million at September 30, 2014.

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 income, 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 income from continuing operations before taxes plus (i) interest expense, net, (ii) depreciation, (iii) amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation, and (v) accrued severance and other non-recurring, noncash expense. 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. Inuvo, Inc.
