Today, QuoteMedia, Inc. (QMCI.OB) announced first quarter financial results for the period ending March 31, 2008. QuoteMedia is one of the leading providers of market information and financial applications.
QuoteMedia announced $1,687,675 first quarter revenue, which is a 45 percent increase compared to the 2007 results of $1,160,700. This is the company’s 20th consecutive quarter of revenue growth. QuoteMedia continues to gain more market share with their line of financial products. At this time, the company provides data for over 70 exchanges located worldwide.
Keith Guelpa, President of QuoteMedia, stated, “The significant revenue growth during the quarter resulted from increased sales of our Interactive Content and Data Applications as well as from increased subscriptions to our Quotestream products.”
As forecasted, QuoteMedia did experience a loss of $354,919 in the first quarter, which is an improvement from the $372,085 reported in first quarter 2007. The company expects losses to continue in the short term, but the anticipated increase in revenue stream should overtake expenses in the near future.
“Our improvement in gross margin rate to 58% compared to 56%, in the first quarter of 2007, reflects the stabilization of our fixed cost structures as revenues continue to increase. We expect our costs of revenue to continue to reduce as a percentage of revenues generated. We are very pleased with our progress to date, and we believe that we are on target to meet our near and long term objectives,” reflected Mr. Guelpa.

Our plan of operation for the remainder of 2008 will center on marketing Quotestream II for deployments by brokerage firms to their clients, and moving strongly into the investment professional market with Quotestream Professional.
