EDGEWATER REPORTS 2009 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Fourth Quarter Service Revenue Meets Expectation

Wakefield, MA, March 3, 2010 – Edgewater Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: EDGW, www.edgewater.com, “Edgewater” or the “Company”), a consulting firm that brings a synergistic blend of specialty services to its clients in the areas of business advisory, analytics, data management and technology, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Acquisition of Fullscope, Inc.

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filing dated January 4, 2010, the Company, on December 31, 2009, under an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger, acquired all of the outstanding stock of Fullscope, Inc. (the “Fullscope Acquisition”). The Fullscope Acquisition was completed after the close of business on December 31, 2009, the last day of our fiscal year. Accordingly, the following 2009 fourth quarter and full year results do not include any contributions related to the Fullscope Acquisition. Fullscope’s operating results will be included as part of Edgewater’s operating results effective January 1, 2010. However, as the Fullscope Acquisition was completed on December 31, 2009, our presented consolidated balance sheets, as of December 31, 2009, reflect our initial fair value estimates related to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, identified intangible assets and residual goodwill. These amounts are presented in connection with our initial purchase price estimates and may be subject to future adjustment as better information becomes available.

Business Trends; Outlook

“For Edgewater, and for most companies, 2009 has been a challenging year. As we look back, we can see that the decisions we made in 2009, as hard as they were given the adverse impact they had on many of our employees, were the right ones,” commented Shirley Singleton, Edgewater’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“Our fourth quarter was a very positive one for the Company. Utilization continued to improve as the fourth quarter unfolded and the sales pipeline continued to gain momentum.”

Ms. Singleton continued, “We believe that first quarter service revenue will be flat to up, while total revenue will be up year-over-year. The anticipated increase in service revenue is influenced by the Fullscope acquisition. However it is important to note that we do anticipate organic growth from core operations. Going forward, total revenue becomes an important metric as software revenues flowing from the Fullscope acquisition become material to our revenue and related gross margin.”

Ms. Singleton concluded, “As we enter 2010, we see the opportunity to post organic growth and return to profitability. The combination of the tough decisions we made in 2009, the December acquisition of Fullscope, the fourth quarter stabilization in our business, as well as the robust pipeline going into 2010 have positioned the Company to return to pre-2009 revenue levels.”

Initial Fair Value Estimates of Purchase Price Allocations

As described above, while our December 31, 2009 acquisition of Fullscope, Inc. does not impact our reported quarterly or full year 2009 operating results, our initial fair value purchase accounting estimates are reported as part of our balance sheet as of December 31, 2009. The Company has performed initial fair value assessments related to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, allocation to identifiable intangible assets, recognition of deferred taxes and the allocation to goodwill. The following table presents our initial purchase price and fair value estimates and their impact upon our reported December 31, 2009 balance sheet. These amounts, as presented below, are subject to future adjustment as better information becomes available during the measurement period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Edgewater reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management believes, however, that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the Company’s business may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and prior reported results. Certain of the information set forth herein and certain of the information presented by the Company from time to time may constitute non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have presented herein a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The non-GAAP measures presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. As noted in the footnote below, the foregoing measures have limitations and do not serve as a substitute and should not be construed as a substitute for GAAP performance, but provide supplemental information concerning our performance that our investors and we find useful.

Edgewater views Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per Diluted Share as important indicators of performance, consistent with the manner in which management measures and forecasts the Company’s performance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA measures are important performance metrics because they facilitate the analysis of our results, exclusive of certain non-cash items, including items which do not directly correlate to our existing business, providing specialty IT services. For instance, the exit of our former significant unrelated operations in 2000 and 2001 created significant net operating loss carry-forwards and deferred tax assets, and the tax provisions that we take under GAAP, for which there is no corresponding federal tax payment obligation for us, and the adjustments that we make to our deferred tax asset, based on the prospects and anticipated future profitability of our ongoing operations, can be significant and can obscure, either significantly, or in part, period-to-period changes in our core operating results. Likewise, our write-off of goodwill and intangible assets during the second and fourth quarters of 2008 was significant and such former balance sheet amounts will not have an impact on future results; consequently, our Adjusted EBITDA calculation excludes the effects of such write-offs to facilitate an understanding of period-to-period changes in our core operating results. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA metrics provide qualitative insight into our current performance; we use these measures to evaluate our results, the performance of our management team and our management’s entitlement to incentive compensation; and we believe that making this information available to investors enables them to view our performance the way that we view our performance and thereby gain a meaningful understanding of our core operating results, in general, and from period to period.

(In thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

1- Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Per Diluted Share are Non-GAAP performance measures and are not intended to be performance measures that should be regarded as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, either GAAP Operating Income, GAAP Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Per Diluted Share measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income less interest income and other, net, plus taxes, depreciation and amortization and goodwill impairment charges. Adjusted EBITDA Per Diluted Share is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by the diluted common shares outstanding used in Diluted Earnings Per Share calculations.
