Forward-Looking Statements
Forward-Looking Statements
Copyright 2010 eDiets.com, Inc. All Rights Reserved
This presentation contains “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of the federal securities laws and is
intended to qualify for the Safe Harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
including statements regarding the outlook for eDiets.com’s markets, assumptions regarding the cost of acquiring
customers; the ability to meet targeted revenue by segment within the next 3-5 years, that eDiets.com is well
positioned to compete and capture market share, eDiet's growth strategy and business model, the timing of product
launches, projected results and the demand for its products and services.  These projections and statements are
based on management’s estimates and assumptions with respect to future events and financial performance and are
believed to be reasonable, though are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict.  Actual results could differ materially
from those projected as a result of certain factors, including eDiets.com’s ability to raise additional capital through a
private placement or public offering of its common stock or securities convertible into its common stock, or through a
sale of strategic or non-strategic assets; its ability to improve its meal delivery margin and its effect on total gross
margins; fluctuations in advertising costs; its ability to sufficiently increase its revenues and maintain expenses and
cash capital expenditures at appropriate levels; the state of the credit markets and capital markets, including the level
of volatility, illiquidity and interest rates; eDiets.com's ability to rapidly secure alternate technology infrastructure
vendors if it experiences Web site service interruption; and its
ability to maintain compliance with applicable regulatory
requirements.
A discussion of factors that could cause results to vary is included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements in this presentation speak only as of the date of this
presentation.  The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or
undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking
statements.
This presentation also contains non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the
most comparable GAAP measure, please refer to the eDiets.com website at www.ediets.com, under the Events and
Presentation section of the Investor Relations page.
