NaviSite Reports First Quarter Fiscal Year 2009 Financial Results

Enterprise Hosting Revenue increases 16% Year-over-Year

EBITDA increases 23% Year-over-Year

Andover, MA. December 9, 2008— NaviSite, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAVI), a leading provider of enterprise hosting solutions and application services, today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 that ended on October 31, 2008.

• Total revenue for the quarter ended on October 31, 2008 was $39.9 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 10% and sequential decrease of 1% due to an anticipated decrease in our professional services revenue in the quarter

• Enterprise Hosting revenue which includes the recurring portion of Application Services revenue was $35.4 million for the first quarter representing a year-over-year increase of 16% and a sequential increase of 2.5%

• EBITDA, excluding impairment costs, stock-based compensation, severance, costs related to discontinued operations, and other non-operational charges (“EBITDA”), for the first quarter was $8.5 million representing a year-over-year increase of 23%. Sequentially, excluding the one-time gain of $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, EBITDA was consistent with the prior quarter.

• Income from operations for the first quarter was $0.4 million representing a 48% year-over- year increase

• Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter was $3.5 million, or $0.10 per share, representing a reduction of 25% from the loss of $4.8 million reported in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008

• Cash provided from operating activities for the first quarter was $9.0 million, an increase of $8.8 million from the first quarter of fiscal year 2008

“The modest sequential growth of our Enterprise Hosting business this quarter resulted from minor delays in the implementations of some of our larger customers." said Arthur Becker, Chief Executive Officer of NaviSite. “Despite the economic climate this quarter, bookings for Enterprise Hosting were only fractionally lower than our seasonally adjusted expectations and margins from

our Hosting practice grew—overcoming the lower margins from our professional services practice.”

Quarterly Business Highlights

• Booked approximately $0.6 million of new monthly recurring hosting revenue (MRR) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, consistent with the $0.7 million booked in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008

• Signed $13.4 million of total hosting contract value with an average contract term of 23 months during the first quarter for recurring applications services and enterprise hosting business

• Signed professional services contracts with a total value of $2.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 compared to $3.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 and $4.2 million in the prior quarter

• Customer churn, defined as the loss of a customer or a reduction in a customer’s monthly revenue run rate from our overall active customer pool, was 1.4% per month during the quarter compared to 1.2% in the prior quarter and 2.5% a year ago. The quarter’s churn reflects the loss of one significant customer as a result of the acquisition of the customer by merger earlier in the year

Guidance:

NaviSite will provide guidance for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 on its earnings call.

EBITDA:

EBITDA is not a recognized measure for financial statement presentation under United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The Company believes that the non-

GAAP measure of EBITDA provides investors with a useful supplemental measure of the Company’s actual and expected operating and financial performance by excluding the impact of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company also excludes impairment costs, stock-based compensation, severance, discontinued operations, and other non-operational charges from its non-GAAP measure, as such items may be considered to be of a non-operational nature. EBITDA does not have any standardized definition and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other reporting companies. Management uses EBITDA to assist in evaluating the Company’s actual and expected operating and financial performance. These non-GAAP results should not be evaluated in isolation of, or as a substitute for, the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A table reconciling the Company’s net loss, as reported, to EBITDA is included in the condensed consolidated financial statements in this release. The Company believes that using EBITDA as a performance measure, together with net loss, will help investors better understand the Company’s underlying financial performance.
