DAG Media, Inc. Reports Year 2003 Consolidated Financial Statements

Wednesday, February 25, 4:01 pm ET

NEW YORK, Feb. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DAG Media Inc. (Nasdaq: DAGM - News) Dag Media, Inc., a leading independent publisher of print and online business directories, announced today that consolidated net advertising revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $9,086,000 versus advertising revenues of $6,530,000 for year 2002, an increase of $2,556,000 or 39.14%. The increase derives from general increase in sales and growth of business. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company published three Blackbook's business directories compared to only one in 2002, recognizing revenues of $2,165,000 in connection with Blackbook compared to $364,000 in 2002.

Gross profit increased to $6,968,000 in 2003 from $4,800,000 in the twelve months period ending December 31, 2002.

For the year ended December 31, 2003, consolidated income before provision for income taxes was $1,887,000 compared to a loss of $353,000 in 2002. Net income after cumulative effect of change in accounting principal was $1,599,000 versus net loss of $1,093,000 in 2002. This increase of $2,692,000 attributable to the $1,208,000 gain from sale of the New Yellow directory, improved results of operations and the absence of 2002 charge of $895,000 related to the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle.

Basic and diluted net income per common share was $0.55 and $0.53 in 2003 versus net loss of $0.37 in 2002.

As of December 31, 2003, the Company also reported $8,781,000 or approximately $ 2.99 per share in cash, cash equivalent, marketable securities and short term investments, current assets of $13,164,000, and total assets of $14,451,000 and deferred revenues of $4,000,000.

Assaf Ran, Chairman of the board and CEO stated, "The sale of our New Yellow directory created a number of new opportunities for the Company. We have reinforced the Kosher Yellow Pages, launched the Complete Industry Directory of Blackbook as well as blackbookstock.com. Their success cleared the road for the inception of more exciting ventures. I'm confident that these new fronts will contribute more to our success than New Yellow."

"I would like to express my appreciation to our dedicated sales forces and employees for a job well done in 2003 and to encourage them to accomplish our challenges for year 2004," added Mr. Ran.

DAG Media publishes and distributes Yellow Pages directories in print and online as well as photography, illustration and design directories. We also operate several web sites that complement our directories at http://www.newyellow.com, http://www.blackbook.com, and at http://www.blackbookstock.com.
