Linens ‘n Things Reports Third Quarter 2007 Financial Performance

Clifton, NJ — November 13, 2007 — Linens Holding Co. (“LNT” or the “Company”), a leading home furnishings specialty retailer known as “Linens ‘n Things,” today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 29, 2007.

The Company reported total net sales of $666.8 million for the quarter, a 1.3% increase over the same quarter in 2006. This increase in net sales resulted from the opening of new stores, partially offset by a comparable store sales decline of 1.4% for the quarter.

The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. As part of its reporting, it also presents Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the impact of transaction expenses from the February 2006 acquisition of Linens ‘n Things, Inc., and other non-recurring or non-cash expenses, and normalizes occupancy costs for certain purchase accounting and rent-related adjustments. For the quarter, the Company generated negative Adjusted EBITDA of $3.0 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $21.5 million in the third quarter of 2006. The decrease in year-over-year third quarter Adjusted EBITDA was primarily the result of a decrease in gross margin reflecting the highly promotional environment during the quarter and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses due to increased marketing spend and higher occupancy costs associated with a larger store base.

“Despite the ongoing challenges in the retail environment, we posted significantly improved same-store sales in the third quarter from the second quarter,” said Robert DiNicola, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, we were encouraged by a healthier sales mix during the third quarter, with both the housewares and textiles categories generating positive comparable store sales. We continue to invest in the basics and our overall inventory ownership this year reflects our commitment to our key classifications. As we look forward to the upcoming holiday season, we believe our merchandise and marketing plans are focused to drive traffic to our stores and to create excitement on the sales floor during this important season.”

The Company generated a net loss for the third quarter of 2007 of $79.9 million compared with a net loss of $27.4 million in the third quarter of 2006. The increase in the net loss for the third quarter of 2007 reflects the year over year decline in Adjusted EBITDA, a non-cash impairment charge of $16.8 million, and the fact that no tax benefit was recorded in connection with the net loss in the current quarter versus a $14.4 million benefit in the comparable quarter in 2006.

The Company ended the quarter with an asset-based revolver balance of $328.2 million, cash on hand of $12.1 million and excess availability under its old revolving credit facility of $238.5 million. As previously announced, the Company entered into a new credit facility in October 2007. The new credit facility is beneficial to the Company compared to its prior credit facility in several respects. Among other things, the Company has obtained increases in its advance rates on inventory and accounts receivable for its borrowing base computation as well as the elimination of all financial maintenance covenants. If the new credit facility had been in effect at the end of the third quarter, the excess availability under the new facility on a pro forma basis would have been $255.5 million. In addition, the new credit facility is not subject to the previous facility’s covenant that likely would have restricted the use of the last $70 million of availability. Therefore, the effective increase in excess availability would have been $87.0 million.

For the third quarter, the Company used cash from operating activities of $59.3 million. The use of cash in the third quarter primarily reflects seasonal working capital requirements as the Company prepares for the upcoming holiday selling season. For the third quarter of 2007, the Company had capital expenditures of $8.8 million compared with $19.1 million during the prior year period.

During the third quarter of 2007, the Company opened five stores and closed zero stores as compared with opening eight stores and closing two stores during the third quarter of 2006. Store square footage increased 3.6% to 19.3 million at September 29, 2007 compared with 18.6 million at September 30, 2006.

Net sales for the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 2007 decreased 1.6% to $1,831.9 million, as compared with net sales of $1,862.6 million for the same period last year. Comparable store sales for the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 2007 decreased 4.6%.

Net loss for the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 2007 was $180.1 million as compared with a net loss of $132.0 million for the same period last year. The net loss for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2007 is after a non-cash impairment charge of $16.8 million.

Net loss reconciliation to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

LNT defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude the additional items described in the following table.

The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it considers them as useful analytical tools for measuring its ability to service its debt and generate cash for other purposes. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of the Company’s financial performance under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of the Company’s profitability or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is presented as additional information because management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. Management also believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful measurement that is commonly used by investors, security analysts and others to measure the Company’s operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from other similarly titled measures of other companies, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, the following table presents EBITDA reconciled to the Company’s net loss for such periods and Adjusted EBITDA reconciled to EBITDA for such periods.
