Online Resources Posts First Quarter 2008 Results

Year-Over-Year Revenue and Earnings Up Sharply

CHANTILLY, Va., May 06, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Online Resources Corporation (Nasdaq:ORCC), a leading provider of web-based financial services, today reported financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

-- Revenue was $39.2 million, up 27 percent from $30.8 million in first quarter 2007.

-- Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda), a non-GAAP measure, was $7.4 million compared to $6.4 million in the prior year.

-- Net loss available to common stockholders was $3.6 million, or $0.12 loss per diluted share. This result compares to a net loss of $9.5 million, or $0.36 loss per diluted share, in 2007.

-- Core net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $1.5 million versus a loss of $0.2 million in 2007. Core net income per share was $0.05 per share, up from $0.01 loss per share in the prior year.

"It was a quarter executed well," said Matthew P. Lawlor, chairman and chief executive officer of the Company. "Both revenue and earnings increased sharply, despite considerably lower interest rates and the weight of some unusually high accounting costs."

Lawlor added, "The benefits of our uniquely integrated payments network, which links financial institutions with billers, is beginning to resonate across our markets. New client sales are strong and we continue to make progress in launching and cross-selling new products. Our divisions are performing well, particularly with eCommerce transaction growth."

"No doubt, we are all challenged by a weakened economy. At the same time, I am very encouraged by our prospects. Our financial and biller clients recognize the power of self-service and the web to reduce their costs. Our end-to-end capabilities, combining both scale and agility, are compelling to new clients who look to attractive economics and a single point of accountability for their web-based technology, operations and marketing."

Excludes income (costs) related to the fair market valuation of certain derivatives of $(0.1) million for second quarter 2007 and $(0.7) and $1.5 million for full years 2008 and 2007, respectively. Excludes a $13.7 million tax benefit from the release of tax valuation allowance for full year 2007. Includes preferred stock accretion of approximately $1.8 and $1.7 million for second quarters 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $7.3 and $6.8 million for full years 2008 and 2007, respectively.
