Mamma.com Inc. (NASDAQ:MAMA) -0- *T - Q3 2005 revenue decrease by 27% to $2.4 million due to the streamlining of our distribution networks in order to better compete by improving conversion rates to our advertisers. - Opt-in Email operations were closed and presented as discontinued operations, additional write down and restructuring charges of $0.87 million. - Additional expenses of $0.24 million related to the SEC investigation. - Net loss of $1.5 million ($0.13/share). - Cash and cash equivalents still remain strong at $24 million. *T Mamma.com Inc., (the "Company"), (NASDAQ:MAMA), reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2005. Unless otherwise stated, all figures in this release are in US dollars. The Company's Q3 2005 net loss was $1,505,688 ($0.13 per share) compared to net earnings of $283,909 ($0.02 per share) for the same period in 2004. Revenue in the third quarter of 2005 was $2,390,634, 27% below the $3,291,204 revenue for the same period in 2004. The reduction in revenue reflects the industry pressure on delivering better conversion rates and improving traffic quality. Following the continuous poor performance of its Opt-in Email operations, the Company discontinued the operations of its subsidiary, Digital Arrow. The remainder of the Property, Plant and Equipment, Intangible Assets and Goodwill related to Digital Arrow were written down to nil in Q3 2005 and these results were presented as discontinued operations. Loss from continuing operations in Q3 2005 was $574,314 including significant expenses such as: professional fees related to the SEC investigation of $241,000 and an increase in directors and officers insurance of $156,000. Payout costs over revenues were at 44%, which was the same percentage in Q3 2004. Cash and cash equivalents still remained strong at $23,877,897, a decrease of $122,039 from the previous quarter. Guy Faure, the Company's President and CEO stated: "Revenues in the third quarter were below Q3 2004 as we have worked diligently with our advertisers to focus on advertising which yields an acceptable return. We have been able to effectively eliminate poor converting traffic from our Affiliates from both the Search, and Ad Networks, and have set up better processes to qualify new Affiliates who can provide good quality converting traffic for our advertisers. The Opt-in Email operations were discontinued because of declining demand for the service. We will now focus on the two main on-line advertising sectors that we know best; the search network that we intend to grow with the Copernic potential acquisition and the Ad Network that we believe offers significant organic growth opportunities." Guy Faure continued: "We are working at completing the definitive agreement for the Copernic acquisition and expect to close before the end of November 2005 as previously disclosed. We expect that the completion of this transaction will allow the Company to aggressively compete in the on-line advertising sectors for 2006."
