Advant-e Corporation Announces First Quarter 2005 Results
Company Reports 24% Increase in Revenue over 2004; Seventh Consecutive
Profitable Quarter
DAYTON, Ohio, May 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advant-e Corporation (OTC:AVEE)
(BULLETIN BOARD: AVEE) , a provider of Internet-based business-to-business
electronic commerce services, today announced financial and operating results
for the quarter ending March 31, 2005.
For the first quarter of 2005 the Company reported revenues of $1,039,488, a
24% increase over revenues of $838,635 in the first quarter of 2004, and a 5%
increase over revenues of $990,077 in the fourth quarter of 2004. The increase
in revenue was the result of continued growth and market acceptance of the
Company's internet-based electronic commerce subscription services.
Net income for the quarter was $105,109, or $.02 per share, compared to
$114,241, or $.02 per share for the same period in 2004, and $127,111 for the
fourth quarter of 2004. The decrease in net income was primarily the result of
increased personnel costs. The first quarter of 2005 marks the seventh
consecutive profitable quarter for Advant-e Corporation.
Jason K. Wadzinski, President and CEO of Advant-e, stated, "The first quarter
of 2005 is significant for us in that this is the first quarter where we've
surpassed the million dollar mark in revenue. This was accomplished with
strong growth for our web-EDI service in the grocery industry of 15% relative
to the first quarter of 2004, but also with the 279% growth in non- grocery
industries, which now accounts for 10% of our total revenue. Our balance sheet
is gaining strength and we are looking forward to continuing our success in
2005 and beyond."
