Mediabistro Inc. Reports Financial Results
For Its Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2013
(New York, NY – November 6, 2013) -- Mediabistro Inc. (Nasdaq: MBIS) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Financial results for the third quarter of 2013 include:
| · | Revenues for the third quarter of 2013 were $3.0 million compared to revenues of $2.9 million for the same period in 2012. |
| · | Net loss for the third quarter of 2013 was $426,000, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million for the same period in 2012. Non-GAAP loss, excluding interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense, or EBITDA, was $184,000 during the third quarter of 2013, compared to a loss of $773,000 for the same period in 2012. We track the EBITDA metric and present it here because we believe it helps in the analysis of the performance of our core operations. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense was $120,000 during the third quarter of 2013. |
“Our financial results for the third quarter included two iterations of our newest trade show, Inside 3D Printing Conference and Expo, which took place during the month of July in Chicago and during the month of September in San Jose. These trade shows continue to be critically and financially successful and we are very excited about the growth possibilities of this brand,” stated Alan M. Meckler, Chairman and CEO of Mediabistro Inc. “We also most recently held our first international Inside 3D Printing Conference and Expo in Singapore in October and we are continuing to schedule additional Inside 3D Printing events throughout the world in 2014, including Germany, Brazil and Australia, among others. Also during the third quarter, we successfully launched our Inside Bitcoins trade show in New York City. This trade show was also financially successful and we have now planned to run this show in Las Vegas, Berlin and additional cities,” added Meckler.
