November 12 - QuoteMedia Reports Third Quarter Results
QuoteMedia, Inc. (OTCBB: QMCI), a leading provider of market data and financial applications, announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. These results reflect a 1% increase in third quarter revenue, to $1,910,884 from $1,888,279 in the comparative period in 2008. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased 7%, to $5,658,444 from $5,300,350 in the comparative period in 2008.
“As forecasted, the global recession moderated QuoteMedia's revenue growth during the first three quarters of 2009,” says Keith Guelpa, President of QuoteMedia, Inc. “The downturn, however, has presented opportunities as the added pressure on financial sector firms to find more efficient and cost effective solutions to their data and technology needs has opened many new doors for QuoteMedia’s offerings. While we have suffered the loss of some smaller clients who have shrunk or ceased operations as a result of the negative market conditions, larger prospective new clients have been approaching us about replacing their current solutions. These larger opportunities generally take extended periods to close and to produce revenue streams, given the scale of the contemplated deployments and the time required to terminate their existing provider contracts. Quotestream Professional, our streaming real-time market data terminal for brokers and financial professionals, continued to garner increasing interest and broader market penetration during the 3rd quarter, with an increasing number of new client firms preparing for their initial rollout. Additionally, the company is in various stages of discussion and negotiation with respect to several large scale enterprise deployments of a wide range of our other product offerings. At a time when most of our competitors are struggling, discontinuing product lines, laying off staff and experiencing significant declines in revenues, we are pleased to see that we are not only weathering the storm, but strengthening and expanding. Given the opportunities we are seeing, and the inroads we’ve made so far this year, we expect strong revenue growth in 2010.
“We experienced a loss for the third quarter of $155,365 compared to a loss of $153,873 in the comparative quarter. The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $556,490 compared to a loss of $869,550 in the comparative period. This represents a 36% improvement in operating results for the nine month period. In view of the economic conditions confronting our industry during 2009, we are satisfied with our performance to date, and we believe that we continue to be on target to meet our long term objectives.”
