Fashion & Consumer Packaged Goods new client business pipeline remains strong

PLANO, Texas, May 13, 2010 -- PFSweb, Inc. (Nasdaq: PFSW), an international business process outsourcing services provider of end-to-end web commerce solutions and an online discount retailer, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Summary of consolidated results for the quarter ended March 31, 2010:

PFSweb’s first quarter 2010 results were favorably impacted by new service fee client activity, incremental project activity with existing client relationships and continued cost management. While revenue and Adjusted EBITDA results reflect a decrease as compared to the prior year period, this is primarily due to changes to the company’s client mix, including the impact of the non-renewal of its previously largest Service Fee business client agreement in 2009, and the global economic environment. PFSweb’s momentum remains strong and the company continues to experience solid new business activity in its Service Fee segment, particularly with branded Fashion and Consumer Packaged Goods clients.

· Total revenue was $88.3 million compared to $88.9 million for the first quarter of 2009;

· Adjusted EBITDA (as defined) was $0.9 million versus $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2009;

· Net loss was $1.2 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $248,000 or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2009;

· Non-GAAP net loss (as defined) was $1.1 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $119,000 or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2009;

· Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash equaled $16.4 million as of March 31, 2010 compared to $16.9 million as of December 31, 2009.

Mark C. Layton, Chief Executive Officer of PFSweb, stated, “We continue to execute our strategy in the Service Fee segment, as indicated by our signing, launching and/or ramping up of several new client programs in the U.S. and Europe through our End2End eCommerce solution, including the agreement with Procter & Gamble for the eStore. Most recently, we signed a new End2End eCommerce agreement with a leading fragrance and beauty company. The momentum we are experiencing with this new eCommerce solution is exciting, particularly in several rapidly evolving market segments, including the Fashion Apparel and Accessories, Beauty and Fragrance and Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) segments. We continue to maintain a robust new business pipeline and hope to capitalize on this pipeline by establishing relationships with major consumer brands and companies that own families of brands.

“While the economy is still in the early stages of its recovery, we believe there is exciting potential to drive organic revenue growth through our existing client base, especially those with focused direct-to-consumer initiatives. We believe the combination of many new eCommerce clients, along with the economic recovery, has us well positioned for growth in the future.”

“I am also pleased to communicate again that during the quarter we completed the renewal of our financing facilities with IBM Global Finance, Comerica and Fortis through March 2011,” Mr. Layton continued.

Summary of results by business segment:

Service Fee Business:

For the first quarter of 2010, Service Fee revenue was $16 million, compared with $17.1 million for the same period in 2009. The Service Fee business reported Adjusted EBITDA of $0.15 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 million for the same period last year.

Mike Willoughby, President of PFSweb’s Services division, commented, “Recently we announced a number of significant new client opportunities. This includes the launch of an End2End eCommerce solution to support the web commerce initiative for the Carter’s and OshKosh B’Gosh brands. Since its launch on March 24, 2010, the program has exceeded expectations, and PFSweb’s ability to scale its operations has helped enable Carter’s to capitalize on this opportunity. The end-to-end solution incorporates an innovative multi-brand web store, high-touch customer care, fully branded order fulfillment and comprehensive financial transaction management. PFSweb also provides a variety of Interactive Marketing Services to support Carter’s, which are targeted to fuel additional growth.

“Also, in February we launched a beta site to test the eStore, an online shopping site exclusively featuring P&G products to consumers in the U.S., which is an alliance between PFSweb and P&G. Since the beta site was launched, we have received positive feedback from P&G and the customers using the site. We believe we are nearing completion of the beta test and are getting ready for the live site launch, which we expect to happen soon.

“We have gained a significant amount of attention since initially launching the End2End solution. However, this solution really just expanded and unlocked the world-class services we have offered for years. We continue to operate a robust range of world class outsourcing services designed for both direct-to-consumer and business-to-business commerce activity. As further evidence of our service quality, our client Riverbed recently awarded PFSweb their Supplier of the Year award for 2009, in recognition of the excellence of our solutions serving their growing customer base,” continued Mr. Willoughby.

Supplies Distributors Business:

For the first quarter of 2010, Supplies Distributors revenue was $45.5 million, compared to $45.3 million for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to $1.4 million for the same period last year.

eCOST.com Business:

For the first quarter 2010, eCOST.com revenue was $20.1 million, compared to $20.9 million for the same period in 2009. Adjusted EBITDA for eCOST.com in the quarter was a loss of $0.26 million, as compared to a loss of $0.4 million for the same period last year.

“We are targeting to see improvement in the overall financial results of this business, as the initiatives we are taking towards improving gross margins in the consumer segment of eCOST.com continue to be implemented. In particular, the development of our eStore Retail Services that formalize the linkage between our PFSweb services segment and eCOST.com is expected to contribute to eCOST’s overall improvement,” concluded Mr. Layton.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release may contain certain non-GAAP measures, including free cash flow, non-GAAP net income (loss), Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.

Non-GAAP net income (loss) represents net income (loss) calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP as adjusted for the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, amortization of identifiable intangible assets and impairment of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, if any.

EBITDA represents earnings (or losses) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further eliminates the effect of stock-based compensation and impairment of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, if any.

Free cash flow, non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used by management, analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry. Free cash flow is used as a supplemental financial measure in our evaluation of liquidity and financial strength. The calculation of non-GAAP net income (loss) eliminates the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, if any, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA further eliminate the effect of financing, income taxes, and the accounting effects of capital spending, which items may vary from different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

PFSweb believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of its core operating results. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the GAAP results in the attached tables.
