February 15 - IceWEB Reports Fiscal First Quarter Financial Results and Projects $2 Million Plus Second Quarter Shipments
Year-Over-Year Revenues Increased 13%; Future Shipment Pipeline Maintained at More Than $10 Million
IceWEB™, Inc. (OTCBB: IWEB), a leading provider of unified data storage and building blocks for cloud storage, announced today results for the fiscal 2011 first quarter period ended December 31, 2010.
Quarterly Highlights and Recent Developments
* Revenue increased 13% over year-ago period
* Gross margins maintained at 48%
* Order flow accelerating as channel partners ramp up efforts
* Second quarter storage shipments projected at over $2 million
* Future shipment pipeline continues to grow and exceeds $10 million
In the quarter ending December 31, 2010, the Company reported revenue of $677,853, as compared to quarterly revenue of $600,817 for the year-ago period. The year-over-year increase in revenue was due to the increase in data storage product sales versus the year-ago quarter. For the three month period ending December 31, 2010, the Company reported a loss of $1,255,815, versus a loss of $1,459,634 for the year-ago period.
Gross margin was 48% for the three months ending December 31, 2010, down slightly from 54% in the year earlier period.
The Company reports results on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP results excludes the impact of equity-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets, and includes the unrealized gain on marketable securities.
John R. Signorello, Chairman and CEO, stated, "The first quarter of fiscal 2011 attained our internal growth plans while maintaining a tight control on overhead expenses. We have diminished our cash burn level in the quarter and believe we are nearing revenue levels to be cash flow neutral."
"Our experienced sales professionals, combined with the key alliances with established distributors such as Promark Technologies, give us confidence that our ambitious sales and earnings goals will be attained. Evidence of this growing success is seen in our Channel Sales Model that is continuing to mature and is now delivering new orders at an accelerated rate. We are very confident that storage sales revenues in the second quarter will exceed $2 million," concluded, Signorello.
Karl Chen, VP or Worldwide Channel Sales and Marketing, stated, "In addition, we have also seen our pipeline of future business opportunities continue to grow and is now over $10 million; a direct result of our strong distribution network, that will be expanding further in coming months. Noting the accelerating order inflow for our storage platform and the rousing acceptance of our recently announced IceWEB 3000 Storage System, leads us to anticipate that an upward revision of our goals may be appropriate in the near future."
Mr. Signorello noted, "The massive amounts of data that are being generated daily will require a vast number of storage systems to both store and manage the data. EMC, a leader in the storage industry, recently sponsored an IDC report "The Digital Universe Decade" that in the period from 2009-2020, the digital universe is expected to grow by a factor of 44."
Mr. Signorello concluded, "We are very confident that the steps we have taken are positioning IceWEB as a key supplier in this burgeoning market."

LLNW News:
February 15 - Limelight Networks shares soar on 4Q results
Limelight Networks surges on better-than-expected 4Q results, rosy forecast
Shares of Limelight Networks Inc. (Nasdaq: LLNW) surged Tuesday after the website services provider reported a smaller-than-expected fourth-quarter loss and issued a rosy forecast.
Wedbush Equity Research analyst Kerry Rice noted that the company saw growth in its core content delivery network, which helps websites run faster and gives companies like Netflix Inc. the technology to stream movies, as well as value-added services. That could put Limelight ahead of schedule to meet its goal of generating $400 million in revenue and a 33 percent profit margin before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization by 2014, Rice said.
The company's performance was a surprise given the disappointing forecast recently released by rival Akamai Technologies Inc., said FBR Capital Markets analyst David M. Hilal. More stable pricing, strong traffic growth in its content delivery network as well as its web-based services should drive Limelight's growth in 2011, Hilal said.
"We maintain our Outperform rating as we believe this turnaround story has more legs," Hilal wrote in a note to clients.
Hilal raised his price target to $9 from $8. He also revised his first-quarter forecast, predicting a bigger loss of 5 cents per share on higher revenue of $48.8 million. Previously, he predicted a loss of 2 cents per share on $46.2 million in revenue. Hilal said he broadened his loss estimate because of the company's plan to invest in its business in order to gain more scale.
Limelight expects $48 million to $49.5 million in current-quarter revenue.
Rice of Wedbush stood by his rating of "Outperform" and his $8 price target.
"We believe management has delivered on its promises over the last several quarters, which has improved the performance and perception of Limelight," he wrote in a note to clients.
Rice also revised his fiscal 2011 forecast, predicting more revenue on smaller earnings. He estimates that Limelight will lose 3 cents per share on $215 million in revenue for the full year. Previously, he said it would earn 2 cents per share on $212 million in revenue for the year.
Analysts polled by FactSet predict a current-quarter loss of 2 cents per share on $49 million in revenue. For fiscal 2011, they expect a loss of 5 cents per share on $217 million in revenue.
The stock rose $2.01, or 31 percent, to $8.47 in morning trading.
