This excerpt taken from the WBMD 8-K filed Nov 23, 2009. Seasonality
The timing of the Companys revenue is affected by seasonal
factors. Public portal advertising and sponsorship revenue is
seasonal, primarily as a result of the spending patterns of the
advertising and sponsorship clients of the Companys public
portals. This portion of the Companys revenue is usually
the lowest in the first quarter of each calendar year, and
increases during each consecutive quarter throughout the year.
The timing of revenue in relation to expenses of the Company,
much of which do not vary directly with revenue, has an impact
on cost of operations, sales and marketing and general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue in each
calendar quarter.
