PFSweb Receives Nasdaq Delisting Notice

PFSweb Receives Nasdaq Delisting NoticePLANO, Texas, Apr 11, 2008 (PrimeNewswire via COMTEX News Network) --

PFSweb, Inc. (Nasdaq:PFSW), a global provider of end-to-end web commerce solutions for leading online retailers and manufacturers, announced that it received a delisting notification from Nasdaq dated April 7, 2008 as the result of PFSweb not complying with the $1 minimum closing bid price requirement for continued listing under Marketplace Rule 4310©(4) during the consecutive 30 business day period from February 20 through April 2, 2008. This notification has no effect on the listing of the Company's common stock at this time.

As the Company is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and currently meets all initial inclusion requirements for the Capital Market, except for the minimum bid price, it has been afforded a compliance period of 180 calendar days.

To regain compliance, the Company must meet or exceed the $1 minimum closing bid price for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If the Company is unable to achieve this standard, and continues to meet all other initial inclusion requirements, it can receive an additional 180-day compliance period.

"We are disappointed in the current stock price and do not believe it accurately reflects a fair value of our businesses," stated Mark Layton, Chief Executive Officer of PFSweb. "We intend to actively take the necessary steps to increase awareness of PFSweb to the financial community and hope that this will help us expand support of our stock. Over the past 18 months we have made tremendous improvements to our businesses and believe we have a great deal of potential to continue these positive trends and create more value for our shareholders. This momentum includes three consecutive profitable quarters in 2007, and approximately $447 million in revenue and $10.9 million in Adjusted EBITDA as previously reported for the full-year 2007, as set forth on the attached schedule. I am excited about the future of PFSweb and will continue to work towards expanding our operations."

=====================

Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes,
depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) and further eliminates the
effect of stock-based compensation and merger integration related
expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA is used by management, analysts, investors and other
interested parties in evaluating our operating performance compared
to that of other companies in our industry, as the calculation of
Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effect of stock-based compensation,
amortization of intangible assets and goodwill impairment, the effect
of financing, income taxes, the accounting effects of capital spending,
certain other merger related expenses and certain other expenses,
which items may vary from different companies for reasons unrelated to
overall operating performance.

PFSweb believes this non-GAAP measures provide useful information to
both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that may
not be indicative of its core operating results. This measure should
be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP,
but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP
results.
