Exhibit 99.1

11/4/2011
This Presentation contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements concerning our strategy, revenue goals, growth including
acquisitions, profitability, EBITDA and financial position.  These forward-looking statements inherently involve certain risks and uncertainties,
although they are based on our current plans or assessments which are believed to be reasonable as of the date of this Presentation.  Factors that
may cause actual results, goals, targets or objectives to differ materially from those contemplated, projected, forecasted, estimated, anticipated,
planned or budgeted in such forward-looking statements include, among others, the following possibilities: (1) failure to obtain new customers or
retain significant existing customers; (2) the loss of one or more key executives and/or employees; (3) changes in industry trends, such as a decline
in the demand for Business Intelligence (“BI”); Enterprise Performance Management (“EPM”) and Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”)
solutions, custom development and system integration services and/or declines in industry-wide information technology (“IT”) spending, whether
on a temporary or permanent basis and/or delays by customers in initiating new projects or existing project milestones; (4) inability to execute
upon growth objectives, including new services and growth in entities acquired by our Company; (5) adverse developments and volatility
involving economic, geopolitical or technology market conditions; (6) unanticipated events or the occurrence of fluctuations or variability in
critical accounting policies and estimates; (7) delays in, or the failure of, our sales pipeline being converted to billable work and recorded as
revenue; (8) inability to recruit and retain professionals with the high level of information technology skills and experience needed to provide our
services; (9) any changes in ownership of the Company or otherwise that would result in a limitation of the net operating loss carry forward under
applicable tax laws; (10) the failure of the marketplace to embrace advisory and product-based consulting services; and/or (11) failure to make a
successful claim against the Fullscope escrow account.  In evaluating these statements, you should specifically consider various factors described
above as well as the risks outlined under Item I “Business – Factors Affecting Finances, Business Prospects and Stock Volatility” in our 2010
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011.  These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from those
contemplated, projected, anticipated, planned or budgeted in any such forward-looking statements. 
Although we believe that the expectations in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity,
performance, growth, earnings per share or achievements.  However, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and
completeness of such statements.  Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the
date of this Presentation to conform such statements to actual results.

APPENDIX B:
Non-GAAP Financial Measures


Non-GAAP Financial Measures
18
11/4/2011
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 as an important indicator 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, we incur direct transaction
costs related to acquisitions which are expensed in our GAAP financial statements.  Our Adjusted EBITDA calculation excludes the effects of direct
acquisition-related costs to facilitate an understanding of comparative period-to-period changes in our core operating results. Similarly, we incurred, and
have excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA calculation, costs associated with the Fullscope Embezzlement Issue as we believe that the non-recurring
nature of the costs associated with this issue makes comparison of our current and historical financial results difficult. 
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.

depreciation and amortization, adjustments to contingent consideration earned, goodwill impairment charges, direct acquisition costs and the Fullscope
Embezzlement Issue costs.
