Management Commentary
“During the first quarter, we continued to perform at a high level for clients across both our LiveArea and PFS business segments, while introducing several new growth initiatives,” said Mike Willoughby, CEO of PFSweb. “These initiatives include next-generation PFS FaaS products like RetailConnect and CloudPick, as well as expanding our technology expertise with SMB eCommerce platforms including BigCommerce and Shopify Plus. We also made progress in our effort to expand our LiveArea service offering to include implementation and support of the IBM Sterling Commerce order management platform, with our first client launch successfully completed in April.
“Looking ahead, we are keenly focused on revitalizing growth. We believe our enhanced services offering and go-to-market approach across the business will increase our addressable market, providing us the opportunity to accelerate our growth.”
First Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Total revenues in the first quarter of 2019 were $72.1 million compared to $78.4 million in the same period of 2018. Service fee revenue in the first quarter was $51.4 million compared to $56.5 million in the first quarter last year. Product revenue from the company’s last remaining client under this legacy business model was $7.5 million compared to $9.8 million in the same period of 2018.
SFE revenue was $51.9 million compared to $56.9 million in the year-ago quarter. The decline was primarily driven by lower new client project activity in LiveArea and the transition of certain client engagements in PFS, partially offset by growth from existing clients.
Service fee gross margin in the first quarter of 2019 was 34.0% compared to 37.0% in the same period of 2018. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross margins in the LiveArea business segment as a result of higher than expected costs incurred on certain client projects.
Net loss in the first quarter of 2019 was $1.2 million or $(0.06) per share, compared to a net loss of $0.7 million or $(0.04) per share in the same period of 2018. Net income in the first quarter of 2019 included $0.7 million of stock-based compensation expense, $0.4 million of acquisition-related, restructuring and other costs, $0.2 million in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and $0.1 million of deferred tax expense related to goodwill amortization. This compares to $0.6 million of stock-based compensation expense, $0.4 million in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, $0.1 million of acquisition-related, restructuring and other costs, and a $0.1 million deferred tax credit related to goodwill amortization in the same period of 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter was $3.3 million compared to $4.4 million in the year-ago quarter. As a percentage of SFE revenue, adjusted EBITDA was 6.4% compared to 7.8%, with the decrease primarily due to lower gross margin in the LiveArea segment
Non-GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2019 was $0.2 million compared to $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2018.
At March 31, 2019, net debt (defined as total debt, excluding operating lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents) was $20.9 million compared to $26.5 million at December 31, 2018. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $14.7 million compared to $15.4 million at December 31, 2018. Total debt at March 31, 2019 was $35.5 million compared to $42.0 million at the end of last year.
2019 Outlook
PFSweb continues to expect 2019 SFE revenue to increase low-single digits on a percentage basis compared to 2018. The company also continues to expect adjusted EBITDA to increase low to mid-single digits on a percentage basis from last year, reflecting continued expected operating leverage in the business.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release contains certain non-GAAP measures, including non-GAAP net income (loss), earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA and service fee equivalent revenue.
Non-GAAP net income (loss) represents net income (loss) calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP as adjusted for the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related, restructuring and other costs (including certain client related bankruptcy costs) , amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and deferred tax expense for goodwill amortization.
EBITDA represents earnings (or losses) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further eliminates the effect of stock-based compensation, as well as acquisition-related, restructuring, and other costs (including certain client related bankruptcy costs).
Service fee equivalent revenue represents service fee revenue plus the gross profit earned on product revenue and does not alter existing revenue recognition.
Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and service fee equivalent revenue are used by management, analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry. The calculation of non-GAAP net income (loss) eliminates the effect of stock-based compensation, acquisition-related, restructuring and other costs (including certain client related bankruptcy costs), amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and deferred tax expense for goodwill amortization, and EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA further eliminate the effect of financing, remaining income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending, which items may vary from different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Service fee equivalent revenue allows client contracts with similar operational support models but different financial models to be combined as if all contracts were being operated on a service fee revenue basis.
PFS believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by focusing on certain operational metrics and excluding certain expenses in order to present its core operating performance and results. These measures 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. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the GAAP results in the attached tables.
Forward-Looking Statements
The matters discussed herein consist of forward-looking information under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is subject to and involves risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking information. PFS' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 identifies certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward looking statements made and investors are advised to review the Annual Report of the company and the Risk Factors described therein. PFS undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason,
even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future. There may be additional risks that we do not currently view as material or that are not presently known.
