eDiets.com, Inc. Press Release, issued April 24, 2003.

 

ITEM 9.    REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

 

In accordance with guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission in Release numbers 33-8216 and 34-47583, the information furnished under this Item 9 (“Regulation FD Disclosure”) is intended to be furnished under Item 12 (“Results of Operations and Financial Condition”). The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.

 

On April 24, 2003, eDiets.com, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release (“press release”) announcing the Company’s financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference.

 

The Company’s press release and other communications from time to time include certain non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company’s financial statements. The attached press release utilizes a measure of Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) before giving effect to certain non-cash GAAP expenses recorded during the period. The most directly comparable financial measure to EBITDA under GAAP is Income from Operations. As required by Regulation G, a reconciliation of EBITDA to Income from Operations is contained in the press release.

 

The Company’s management believes that the presentation of EBITDA provides useful information regarding the Company’s financial performance and earnings potential because this measure gives investors insight into the profitability of the Company’s operating business. The Company’s management uses this measure for the same purpose.
