Jupitermedia Corporation (Nasdaq: JUPM) today reported results for the
quarter ended September 30, 2008.
Highlights for the third quarter of 2008 include:
-
Revenues for the third quarter of 2008 were $31.0 million compared to
revenues of $34.8 million for the same period last year.
-
Loss per diluted share was $0.63 and included non-cash stock-based
compensation expense, legal fees related to the recently signed stock
purchase agreement with Getty Images, Inc. and the establishment of a
valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets, which totaled
$0.52 per diluted share. Excluding these charges, loss per diluted
share was $0.11.
"In a very difficult business environment we
have some significant highlights. Revenues from our
JupiterimagesUnlimited royalty-free subscription offering grew over 100%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period
in 2007. We continue to experience significant growth from our
Stockxpert.com microstock offering, both with single images and
subscriptions," stated Jupitermedia's Chairman and CEO Alan M. Meckler.
"Our Online Media division continues to be impacted by the economy,
which has put pressure on our advertising and job board sales. We have,
however, made progress in reducing operating expenses, specifically with
our costs of sales and general and administrative expenses. In addition,
we have made additional investments in our Online Media business, with
the launch of three new blogs focused on Mobile media and a new event,
UGCX, which is focused on user generated content and social networks.”
