Monster Worldwide’s deferred revenue balance at September 30, 2007 grew 25% to $435 million over last year’s third quarter balance of $347 million.
Income from continuing operations was $33 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2007, compared to $40 million or $0.31 per diluted share in the 2006 period. Included in income from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007 is a $0.07 per diluted share impact from costs associated with the ongoing stock option investigation and the Company’s restructuring plan. Pro forma adjustments also include $0.03 per diluted share of costs associated with measures taken by the Company in response to the security breach of the Company’s resume database in August. These pro forma adjustments are described in the “Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and are reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the accompanying tables.
At September 30, 2007, the Company’s net cash position was $627 million compared with $719 million at June 30, 2007. During the quarter, the Company utilized the remaining $55 million under its November 2005 buyback program and spent $100 million of the September 2007 authorization, repurchasing a total of 4.5 million shares on the open market. Cash generated from operating activities was $73 million compared to $79 million in the third quarter of 2006. Capital expenditures totaled $11 million in the third quarter of 2007.
The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has increased the Company’s current stock repurchase authorization to $350 million from $250 million. Giving effect to the increased authorization and repurchases to date, the Company currently has $250 million remaining under the program.
Sal Iannuzzi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Monster Worldwide, said, “We believe our third quarter results demonstrated the strength of the Monster brand in a difficult domestic market environment. Our ongoing strategy to expand our franchise on a global basis contributed to the significant revenue growth and strong margin expansion we experienced in our International segment. Our ability to provide quality job

candidates to our employer customers on a global basis provides a competitive advantage in the marketplace and enhances Monster’s position as the global online recruitment leader.”
Mr. Iannuzzi added, “Our team is in the process of ramping up investments in product development and innovation, enhanced technology and more aggressive marketing which we believe will improve the customer experience and deliver solid revenue growth and operating margin expansion over time. We are in the early stages of the recently announced restructuring plan and are pleased to report we are on pace with the cost elimination and efficiency initiatives we have outlined. During the third quarter the consolidated non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 21% from 19% in the second quarter. We believe our strong balance sheet will support the Company’s growth opportunities as we work toward building long term sustainable value for our customers, shareholders and dedicated associates across the globe.”

Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Monster Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company”) has provided certain non-GAAP financial information as additional information for its operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and may be different from non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that its presentation of non-GAAP measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.
Non-GAAP operating expenses, operating income, operating margin, income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share all exclude certain pro forma adjustments including: ongoing costs associated with the stock option investigations, related litigation and potential fines or settlements; severance costs for former executive officers incurred in the second quarter of 2007; costs related to the measures taken by the Company in response to the security breach; and the strategic restructuring actions initiated in the third quarter of 2007. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures for reviewing the ongoing results of the Company’s core business operations and in certain instances, for measuring performance under certain of the Company’s incentive compensation plans. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (“OIBDA”) is defined as income from operations before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and amortization of stock based compensation. The Company considers OIBDA to be an important indicator of its operational strength. This measure eliminates the effects of depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and amortization of stock based compensation from period to period, which the Company believes is useful to management and investors in evaluating its operating performance. OIBDA is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow is considered a liquidity measure and provides useful information about the Company’s ability to generate cash after investments in property and equipment. Free cash flow reflected herein is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Free cash flow does not reflect the total change in the Company’s cash position for the period and should not be considered a substitute for such a measure.
5
Net cash is defined as cash and cash equivalents plus marketable securities, less total debt. The Company considers net cash to be an important measure of liquidity and an indicator of its ability to meet its ongoing obligations. The Company also uses net cash, among other measures, in evaluating its choices for capital deployment. Net cash presented herein is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The operating expenses included in the Company’s outlook ranges are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission because, among other things, they do not include legal costs and expenses that the Company will incur as a result of its historical stock option granting practices. Because the Company cannot reasonably estimate or predict these costs and expenses, the Company cannot calculate the most directly comparable GAAP measure of operating expenses that would include such legal costs and expenses. Therefore, the Company cannot reconcile the non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. While the amount of the legal costs and expenses associated with the Company’s historical stock option granting practices is likely to be material, the Company believes that such costs and expenses are of limited significance to an evaluation of the Company’s business fundamentals, since such costs and expenses bear little relation to the Company’s core business or operating prospects. Additionally, non-GAAP operating expenses exclude severance costs for former executive officers, costs associated with the measures taken by the Company in response to the security breach and anticipated restructuring charges. While the aggregate restructuring charge can be estimated, the Company cannot determine the precise amount of the charge to be taken each period. As a result, the Company is unable to reconcile the projected non-GAAP operating expenses to a projection calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Special Note: Except for historical information contained herein, the statements made in this release, including the business outlook, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding the Company’s strategic direction, prospects and future results. Certain factors, including factors outside of our control, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including economic and other conditions in the markets in which we operate, risks associated with acquisitions or dispositions, competition, ongoing costs associated with the stock option investigations and lawsuits, costs associated with the restructuring and security breach, and the other risks discussed in our Form 10-K and our other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which discussions are incorporated in this release by reference.

Note Regarding ProForma Adjustments:
ProForma adjustments consist of the following:
a Costs associated with the ongoing investigation into the Company’s historical stock option granting practices ($2,571 and $17,729 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007), severance charges associated with the termination of certain executives in the second quarter of 2007 ($15,811) and costs associated with the remediation of a security breach related to the Company's resume database in August 2007 ($5,654).
b Restructuring related charges pertain to the strategic restructuring actions that the Company announced on July 30, 2007. These charges include costs related to the reduction in the Company’s workforce, fixed asset write-offs, costs relating to the consolidation of certain office facilities, contract termination costs, relocation costs and professional fees.
c Income tax adjustment is calculated using the effective tax rate of the period multiplied by the ProForma adjustment to income from continuing operations before income taxes and equity interest.
