Innodata Isogen Reports Record 2007 Revenue and Strong Start to 2008

• Strong Fourth Quarter 2007 Caps Banner Year
• Growth Highlighted by Increases in Recurring Revenue
• Knowledge Process Outsourcing is a Key Driver
• Company Sees Strong Start in 2008

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--INNODATA ISOGEN, INC. (NASDAQ: INOD), a leading provider of knowledge process outsourcing services, as well as publishing and related information technology services, today announced revenues of $20,517,000 for the fourth quarter of 2007, up approximately 95% from revenues of $10,547,000 in the fourth quarter of 2006.

The company reported net income of $2,232,000, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2007, as compared to a net loss of $829,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2006.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, revenues were $67,731,000, up 65% from revenues of $40,953,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. In that same period, the company earned $4,566,000, or $0.18 per diluted share, as compared to a loss of $7,323,000, or $0.30 per diluted share, in 2006.

The results reported today, which surpass the company’s historical highs for both quarterly and annual revenues, were in line with the company’s generalized guidance.

“Demand for our services continues to expand and that demand is driving revenue growth,” said Jack Abuhoff, chairman and CEO of Innodata Isogen. “Cost reduction is a powerful driver for many businesses that are implementing an outsourcing strategy, especially in a faltering economy.

“In addition, we’re undertaking a greater number of knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) engagements with companies seeking to launch new information products into the marketplace, using our KPO services from the start.”

Innodata Isogen also reported that its base of what it considers recurring revenue increased significantly in 2007, climbing more than 69% from approximately $26 million at the end of 2006 to approximately $44 million at the end of 2007.

According to Abuhoff, the company is off to a strong start in 2008. “We anticipate continued improvement in recurring revenue levels, driven by new KPO engagements and expansion of existing programs,” Abuhoff said. “We expect first quarter revenue to be approximately $18 million, or 40% year-over-year growth, as we have completed several 2007 projects and began ramp-up on a number of new 2008 programs. For the full year, we are anticipating double-digit growth in annual revenues.”

Steven Ford, chief financial officer of Innodata Isogen, said, “In 2007, the company was able to drive a year-over-year revenue increase of $26.8 million, or 65%. Approximately 44% of this revenue increase, close to $12 million, flowed to the bottom line. Our operating leverage on incremental revenue creates cash flow that we can re-invest in the business, either by building capability organically or through acquisition.”

Abuhoff added, “In 2008, we will be increasing our investor relations activities. We are planning a regular series of investor meetings and presentations at investor conferences. We are also going to try to increase the scope and frequency of information that we flow to investors regarding significant new project wins and our KPO strategy.”
