24/7 Media Posts Loss, Revenues Climb

24/7 Media Inc. of New York
posted a third-quarter loss of $5.8 million for the third quarter, despite
growing revenues to $5.5 million from pro-forma revenues of $4.2 million in
the preceding quarter.

The third quarter ended Sept. 30 was the company’s first full quarter
as a public company.

The net loss for the third quarter was $5.8 million, compared to a pro
forma net loss of $5.2 million for the second quarter of 1998. Pro forma
data takes into account the company’s acquisitions earlier this year by
consolidating the results of operations of the acquired entities with the
results of operations of 24/7 Media for the periods presented.

The company reported pro forma revenues of $12.1 million for the nine
months ended Sept. 30, up from $3.5 million a year ago. The pro forma net
loss for the nine months was $15.5 million, compared to a pro forma loss of
$13.4 million for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 1997.

“We continued to experience strong revenue growth during the third
quarter, mainly due to continued rapid growth in ad impressions, the
effectiveness of our sales force and the rapidly growing recognition of the
24/7 Media name in the marketplace,” said David J. Moore, president and
chief executive officer of 24/7 Media.

Moore gave no indication on when the company might achieve profitability.

On an actual basis, the company reported revenues of $5.5 million and
$10.3 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended Sept. 30,
respectively, as compared to $0.5 million and $2.7 million for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended Sept. 30, 1997.

The company’s net loss was $5.8 million and $18.4 million for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended Sept. 30, compared to $2.4
million and $4.6 million for the quarter and nine-month period a
year earlier.

Actual results for the nine-month period ended Sept. 30, 1998 included
an acquisition charge of about $5.5 million in connection with the
company’s April purchase of Intelligent Interactions.
