EXHIBIT 99.1 PRESS RELEASE DATED MAY 10, 2004 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: MARK C. LAYTON PRESTON F. KIRK, APR Senior Partner and Chief Executive Officer Michael A. Burns & Associates or THOMAS J. MADDEN (830) 693-4447 Senior Partner and Chief Financial Officer kirk@281.com (972) 881-2900 PFSWEB REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS Second Consecutive Quarter of Record Revenues, Renewal of Senior Debt Facilities and New Business Wins Highlight Quarter PLANO, TEXAS (MAY 10, 2004) - PFSweb, Inc. (NASDAQ: PFSW), a global provider of integrated business process outsourcing solutions (BPO), today reported its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. PFSweb's consolidated results for the March 2004 quarter include total net revenues of $75.5 million, a loss before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization of $11,000 and a net loss of $1.8 million, or $0.08 per share. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2004, reflects $106.6 million in total assets, including $16.2 million in cash, of which $1.7 million is restricted, and shareholders' equity of $26.4 million, or $1.25 per share. "We continue to be excited about our business outlook," said Mark C. Layton, Senior Partner and Chief Executive Officer of PFSweb. "We believe we are making progress toward reaching our goal of sustainable profitability through our ongoing revenue growth and cost control initiatives. This quarter's results were highlighted by the following items: o RECORD REVENUES FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT QUARTER, including solid results from both our service fee and Supplies Distributors business segments. o STRONG SALES PIPELINE and increasing activity from both existing and prospective client relationships. o INTRODUCTION OF OUR GLOBALMERCHANT COMMERCEWARE(TM) 2.0 SOFTWARE SUITE, providing companies the ability to quickly establish an e-commerce presence that is cost-effective and easy to implement. o SUSTAINED CASH LEVELS, on a consolidated basis, of $16.2 million at quarter-end. o RENEWAL OF OUR SENIOR DEBT FACILITIES with IBM Credit LLC, IBM Belgium Financial Services, Congress Financial Corporation (Southwest), and Fortis Commercial Finance N.V. "We are pleased to report total net revenue growth of 14% compared to the March 2003 quarter," Layton continued. "Growth continues to be a key element of our strategy. We continue to experience solid growth from our existing clients. In addition, we have expanded several existing client relationships, including both ongoing and one-time project activity, and have added several new clients to our already attractive brand-name client list. These additions continue to enhance the breadth of industries we serve. Some of these new and expanded client relationships will begin contributing to our operations during the June 2004 quarter while the others are in the start-up or implementation process and are expected to begin contributing to our operations over the next several quarters. "We continue to generate solid new business lead opportunities. We currently have more than $30 million of annual service fees in our sales proposal pipeline, with both new and existing clients. We also are pleased to 4

announce that we have received non-binding acceptance of certain of these proposals, including several with larger than average contract size, which are now in the contracting stage. "Last week, we announced the introduction of our GlobalMerchant CommerceWare(TM) 2.0 suite, designed specifically for the IBM(R) iSeries platform. GlobalMerchant CommerceWare is a full-featured software suite that provides iSeries users a comprehensive solution to enable world class e-commerce for their company's web site while seamlessly and easily connecting that site with its back office iSeries applications. We are pleased with the reception that this product introduction has had and believe this will be an exciting source for future revenue growth and bottom line contribution. "We continue to emphasize quality performance throughout our organization, striving to exceed our clients' expectations while simultaneously improving operating processes. We continued to see improved results from our quality focus during the March 2004 quarter. This focus is critical to our ability to win incremental business with both new and existing clients. We continue to make prudent, but significant, investments in our future, through enhancements and feature additions to our technology and logistics systems and investments in our personnel. "Our gross margin performance during the March 2004 quarter remained solid. SG&A expenses increased this quarter compared to March 2003," Layton added. "During the March 2004 quarter, we increased our activity related to our review of our system of internal controls and related control documentation to address the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We incurred additional professional fees to aid us in this process, which resulted in increased SG&A expenses. We take our commitment to corporate governance seriously and believe it is essential to proactively pursue our role as a leading business process outsourcer. Further, we continue to make investments in our sales and marketing efforts. We are seeing benefits from these efforts with increased activity and positive results from new and expanded client relationships and business lead opportunities. We are very cognizant of the importance of monitoring and controlling our costs, and as such constantly review our operating expenses to ensure they match our targeted growth levels." "PFSweb's financial foundation remains solid," stated Tom Madden, Senior Partner and Chief Financial Officer of PFSweb. "Cash generated from operating activities during the quarter offset cash used to fund this quarter's capital expenditures and debt payments, enabling us to maintain our strong cash position at more than $16 million at March 31, 2004. "In March, we renewed our senior debt facilities with IBM Credit LLC and IBM Belgium Financial Services to extend approximately $40 million of our borrowing capacity through March 2005. We also renewed our factoring agreement with Fortis Commercial Finance N.V. through 2005, which provides for up to 7.5 million euros (approximately U.S. $9.1 million) of eligible accounts receivable financings in Europe. In April, we extended our senior debt facility with Congress Financial Corporation (Southwest) through March 2007. The Congress facility provides for up to $25 million of eligible accounts receivable in the United States and Canada." "As a reminder on our near-term outlook," Layton concluded, "while the March quarter is our seasonally lowest in service fee revenues due to the seasonal nature of our largest service fee client, the June quarter has historically been our seasonally highest for the same reason. While we believe our new business activity is 5

showing positive signs of sustained improvement, it will still be several quarters before we begin to realize all of the benefits from the new revenue due to the required contracting and implementation periods."

(A) The financial data above should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of PFSweb, Inc. included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. (B) "EBITDA (LBITDA)," or earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and excluding equity in earnings of affiliate, is widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties. We present EBITDA (LBITDA) because we believe it is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as the calculation of EBITDA eliminates the effect of financing, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending, which items may vary from different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. EBITDA (LBITDA) is not a financial measure determined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss as a measure of operating results or to cash flows as a measure of funds available for discretionary or other liquidity purposes. EBITDA (LBITDA) may not be comparably calculated from one company to another. A reconciliation of Net loss to EBITDA (LBITDA) is as follows:
