Online Resources Posts Second Quarter 2008 Results

Core Earnings on Track on Moderated Revenue Growth

CHANTILLY, Va., Jul 29, 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 June 30, 2008.

-- Revenue was $37.2 million, up 16 percent from $31.9 million in second quarter 2007.

-- Ebitda, a non-GAAP measure adjusted for stock compensation expense and preferred stock accretion, was $7.4 million compared to $7.8 million in the prior year.

-- Net loss available to common stockholders was $3.2 million, or $0.11 loss per diluted share. This result compares to a net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in 2007.

-- Core net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $1.7 million versus $1.9 million in 2007. Core net income per share was $0.06 per share, down from $0.07 per share in the prior year.

The impact of previously announced departed clients on second quarter year-over-year revenue was $3.0 million. Assuming typical margins, the impact on second quarter year-over-year Ebitda and core earnings per share was $1.9 million and $0.04 per share, respectively.

"Core earnings per share was on track and key underlying drivers of our business continue to progress well," said Matthew P. Lawlor, chairman and chief executive officer of the Company. "We did a good job of managing our business to the bottom line, but fell short of our revenue growth goal."

Lawlor added, "Billpay transactions and usage were seasonally strong. We also see leverage in our model with a sequential expansion in Ebitda margin. The quarter was marked by key signings, including several household names, and we made good headway with our new Internet banking and collections products."

"But while we did well on most fundamentals, revenue growth was less than planned. This was due primarily to low interest revenue on payment float, and a higher than expected degree of volatility in consumer-paid payments, primarily from ITS clients acquired last August."

In looking forward, Lawlor added, "We are still seeing healthy growth, but we are not completely immune to struggles in the banking sector and the broader economy. Our challenges are straightforward: continue to expand distribution by taking advantage of our strong competitive position, accelerate revenue growth by implementing new clients faster, and leverage our clients' increased focus on the web channel as an important tool to deal with a soft economy."

2008 Business Outlook

The Company provided guidance for third quarter and updated its guidance for full year 2008 by lowering and narrowing its revenue and earnings expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. Guidance is stated in millions, except for per share data.

(a) The Company uses non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting
     Principles) financial measures, including Ebitda and core net
     income, to evaluate performance and establish goals. It believes
     that these measures are valuable to investors in assessing the
     Company's operating results when viewed in conjunction with GAAP
     results.

(b) Ebitda is defined as earnings before interest, taxes,
     depreciation, amortization, preferred stock accretion and equity
     compensation expense.

(c) Third quarter and full year 2008 net loss available to common
     stockholders per share is calculated using the number of
     weighted-average shares outstanding (basic), not fully diluted
     shares.

(d) Guidance does not assume the release of any additional tax
     valuation allowance in 2008, though the Company may do so. Also
     does not include the impact of any mark-to-market adjustments for
     derivatives the Company holds or other fair value accounting
     impacts.

(e) Core net income is defined as net income available to common
     stockholders before the amortization of acquisition-related
     intangible assets, equity compensation expense, income tax
     benefit from the release of valuation allowance, income (costs)
     related to the fair market valuation of certain derivatives,
     preferred stock accretion related to the redemption premium and
     all other non-recurring charges. Some or all of these items may
     not be applicable in any given reporting period.

(f) Excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of
     approximately $2.1 and $2.2 million for third quarters 2008 and
     2007, respectively, and $9.4 million for full years 2008 and
     2007. Excludes equity compensation expense of approximately $1.4
     and $0.8 million for third quarters 2008 and 2007, respectively,
     and $5.8 and $3.2 million for full years 2008 and 2007,
     respectively. Excludes write-off of fees and other expenses
     related to senior debt refinancing of approximately $5.6 million
     for full year 2007. Excludes preferred stock accretion related to
     the redemption premium of $0.4 million for third quarters 2008
     and 2007, and $1.6 and $1.5 million for full years 2008 and 2007,
     respectively. Excludes income (costs) related to the fair market
     valuation of certain derivatives of $2.2 million for third
     quarter 2007, and $(1.1) 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 million for third
     quarters 2008 and 2007, and $7.3 and $6.8 million for full years
     2008 and 2007, respectively.

(g) Only used for the purposes of calculating third quarter and full
     year 2007 net income available to common stockholders per share
     and third quarters and full years 2008 and 2007 core net income
     per share.
