The tables that accompany this release set out results by segment.

Jack Abuhoff, Chairman and CEO, said, "First quarter revenue - while in line with the mid-point of our guidance - declined by $0.7 million from the fourth quarter. This resulted in an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $160,000 due to high operating leverage. Revenue in our Digital Data Solutions (DDS) segment was $11.4 million compared to $11.7 million in the fourth quarter, as volumes from new customer engagements were not sufficient to offset the lower volumes from several existing customer engagements. In our Innodata Advanced Data Solutions (IADS) segment, a combination of seasonality and the expiration of a contract in the Synodex business translated into lower segmental revenue of $1.0 million compared to $1.25 million in the fourth quarter.

Abuhoff continued, "In our DDS segment we`re focused on new service offerings that will help us win new recurring revenue business and expand our addressable market. In Synodex, we remain actively engaged with several late-stage prospects and continue to work on cost efficiencies to lower our break-even point.

"Our Media Intelligence Solutions (MIS) segment performed in accordance with our expectations. Revenue in the first quarter was $2.6 million, with 55% gross margins before acquisition related amortization charges and 7% Adjusted EBITDA. In the first quarter we launched an API for our Agility global media database, and we continue to sign up channel partners to access new markets."

Abuhoff concluded, "We anticipate second quarter revenue to be in the range of $13.4 - 15.3 million, consisting of DDS revenue in the range of $10.0 - 11.5 million, IADS revenue in the range of $1.0 - 1.2 million, and MIS revenue in the range of $2.4 - 2.6 million."
