Today, Inflow Inc., a leading provider of outsourced data center and managed hosting services for companies with critical applications, announced it reached a major landmark in its drive for profitability with the attainment of company EBITDA positive status for the third quarter of 2003. “We are very excited to have reached this important step toward complete financial independence,” said Mark Hughes, chief financial officer for Inflow. “We have diligently planned for this event and are ahead of schedule, with more positive milestones anticipated soon. Our ability to achieve this financial milestone is a result of our company focus on process and automation, which drives efficiencies while increasing revenue. Our streamlined operations model, combined with our minimal operating costs, continues to fuel our growth.”

Inflow generated $12.1m of total revenue in the third quarter, billing 804 customers as of September 30, 2003. Top line revenue increased 15 percent over the prior quarter, driven by significant new customer additions. EBITDA positive status was realized due to increased revenue and continued cost controls. Hughes said that due to continued, strong new contract bookings in the queue for installation along with a stable expense base, Inflow projects to reach cash flow positive in early 2004.
“Our team has worked incredibly hard toward this very important achievement,” said Art Zeile, Inflow chief executive officer. “We want to thank our customers and communities for their outstanding support and for helping us to attain this position. We will continue to focus on providing the best service in the industry.”
