(COMTEX) B: Innodata Announces Record Net Income, Revenues, and Opera B: Innodata Announces Record Net Income, Revenues, and Operating Cash Flow for Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Fourth Quarter EPS Climbs to $0.33 from $0.02 on 146% Revenue Growth NEW YORK, Mar 7, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- INNODATA CORPORATION (NASDAQ: INOD), a leading provider of digital content outsourcing services, today announced record net income of $4,013,000, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2000, versus net income of $268,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 1999. At the same time, the Company announced record revenues of $19,141,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2000, a 146% increase over revenues of $7,780,000 for the same period in 1999. Net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 nearly tripled to $6,168,000, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared to $2,113,000, or $0.20 per diluted share, for fiscal year 1999. Revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 were a record $50,731,000, versus $27,490,000 for fiscal year 1999, representing an 85% increase. Cash provided by operations in 2000 was $12.4 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, compared to $2.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in 1999. The Company also generated approximately $4.7 million of free cash flow (defined as EBITDA minus capital expenditures and minus interest expense) for the year. The Company's cash balance of $9.0 million at December 31, 2000 reflected an increase of $5.6 million from its balance of $3.4 million at December 31, 1999. The Company's $3 million revolving credit facility remains fully available. The Company has no debt. Commenting on the results, Jack Abuhoff, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "As we continue to execute our XML-driven strategy, we closed the fiscal year with record revenues and record earnings that approach three times that of a year ago. We are seeing clear evidence that the demand for large-scale, customized XML services is growing at an increasing pace. Our strategic alliance with Questia accounted for 71% of our fourth quarter revenues and demonstrates the viability of our digital content outsourcing model for creating and managing large-scale XML content. "We are not managing our Company for sequential quarterly growth, and fully expect sequential variations. However, the credibility we have achieved by our Questia work is creating significant opportunities for additional large-scale XML contracts that could ultimately reduce these variations and client concentration. Equally important, we are continuing to find new ways to leverage technology at our XML Content Factory(TM), and we are replicating the Content Factory platform at two of our other facilities." Mr. Abuhoff continued, "We generated strong free cash flow despite the fact that we invested heavily in our technology. With a strong balance sheet, a proven business model, multiple substantial contracts, and a first-mover strategy in the XML conversion industry, we have built a solid foundation for the long-term success of our business. We are well positioned to cultivate opportunities consistent with our position as the leading provider of digital content outsourcing services."
