Peter Giacalone, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated:
“These results reflect another quarter of solid internal growth in our satellite and cable businesses, as well as contributions from 180 Network Services and 180 Home. We are particularly excited about the long term growth opportunities that can be realized from the recent projects announced in our Network Services business, representing a backlog of approximately $100 million — a market that is experiencing significant near term growth given current market conditions.
The standout result from the completion of the merger with Ad.Venture Partners Inc. is the improved financial strength of the Company. The Company’s stronger balance sheet provides the foundation for refinancing the balance of its debt and positions the Company to capitalize on attractive strategic acquisitions.”
Third Quarter 2007 Highlights
Revenue in the third quarter increased to $102.5 million, up from $89.9 million for the same period in 2006. This 14% growth reflects volume increases across-the-board in both the satellite and cable businesses, as well as contributions from 180 Network Services and 180 Home, all of which benefited from a combination of strong internal growth and a disciplined operational management team. DIRECTV volume increased 14% from the prior year, largely attributable to increased high-definition sales and upgrade initiatives as DIRECTV continues to sell more advanced product. The Company is also very pleased to note that DIRECTV was ranked “Highest in Customer Satisfaction among Satellite/Cable TV Subscribers” in the Southern, Western and Eastern regions of the United States, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2007 Residential Cable/Satellite TV Customer Satisfaction Study. As 180 Connect is the primary service provider for DIRECTV’s western region, the Company believes that the award reflects its commitment and ability to deliver exceptional customer service. 180 Connect believes that its satellite business is on track to complete over 2.3 million work orders for DIRECTV alone this year.
Cable revenues increased 6% from the prior year, as 180 Connect continues to benefit from solid market growth, increased market share and the Company’s ability to leverage its competitive advantages in supporting its customer’s triple play initiatives.
180 Network Services revenue increased 37% from the prior year and 180 Connect believes it is well positioned to continue its rapid growth. The Company’s significant municipal fiber projects in Boise, Idaho and Ontario, Santa Clara and Shafter, California, currently underway, continue to deliver exceptional margins as well as showcase its capabilities to potential future customers. The Company expects that these projects in addition to recently announced contracts, including the City of Palo Alto, CA and Truckee Donner, CA, will more than double its annual revenues in its 180 Network Services business.
180 Home, 180 Connect’s structured wiring business, continues to grow rapidly, with third quarter revenue increasing approximately 58% over the prior year. The Company continues to see significant opportunity to expand this business, as in-home technology has become an increasingly important factor in home buying decisions.
EBITDA from continuing operations(2) excluding a non-cash stock based compensation charge of $0.2 million was $8.6 million for the third quarter of 2007, an increase of 33% over results reported for the same period in 2006. For the first nine months of 2007, EBITDA from continuing operations was $14.6 million, an increase of approximately 67% over the first nine months of 2006, on approximately 19% higher revenue.
2
EBITDA from continuing operations(2) excluding US listing costs, restructuring charges and non-cash stock based compensation, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $15.6 million. This increase was primarily due to the growth in work order volume in the Company’s satellite and cable businesses, cost savings achieved by implementing better operational controls, as well as increased growth from its Network Services business, partially offset by the impact of higher fuel prices. Seasonally, the third and fourth quarters are the Company’s strongest quarters from an EBITDA standpoint, as its customers marketing focus, primarily DIRECTV’s NFL Ticket and high definition sales and upgrade initiatives, drive a favorable volume and mix shift in work performed.
Looking Forward
The Company’s continued success in the third quarter was due to a relentless focus on business fundamentals under the leadership of a strong management team. Given the strength in demand across the satellite and cable businesses and the increase in non-operating costs the Company is revising its 2007 revenue guidance to between $380 million to $385 million and EBITDA of between $22.5 million to $23 million representing earnings growth between 63% and 67%.
There are four primary factors contributing to the change in EBITDA guidance. First, costs associated with the investment in the quality of the Company’s workforce were not offset with its customer’s bonus programs. Despite the impact of higher costs, 180 Connect believes that these programs are vital and have been critical in protecting its franchise and maintaining its market share. Second, fuel costs represent a significant cost in the Company’s business, with the spike in fuel prices resulting in approximately $750,000 of additional costs for the full year, exceeding its original estimates. The Company is in a constant dialog with its customers regarding these increased costs and will continue to negotiate a surcharge in order to share this burden.
Third, the Company’s roll out of an enhanced work force management system had a short term effect on efficiency and costs’, affecting the Company’s margins, however, the Company expects to recover the cost and productivity benefits of this enhanced system over the longer term. Fourth, 180 Network Services division continues to post impressive earning and margins, certain projects previously forecast to contribute in 2007 have been deferred to 2008 due to delays in municipal permitting, developer entitlements, public financing or vendor specifications. Nevertheless, the Company views these as deferrals of the earnings cycle and remains confident they will be delivered in 2008.

Non-GAAP Measures:
| | |
(1) | | The term “Direct Contribution Margin” (“DCM”) consists of revenue less direct expense and excludes general and administrative expense, foreign exchange loss (gain), stock-based compensation, (gain) loss in sale of investments and assets, depreciation, amortization of customer contracts, interest and expense, (gain) loss on fair market value of derivatives, gain on extinguishment of debt, interest expense, and income tax expense (recovery). DCM, as referred to in this news release, is a non- GAAP measure which does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by US GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. We believe that this term provides a better assessment of the contribution of the field operations dealing directly with our customers’ subscribers by eliminating: (1) the general and administrative costs that are not part of the direct costs of generating revenue; (2) the charge for |
5
the amortization of customer contracts and depreciation and stock based compensation which are non-cash expense items; and (3) (gain) or loss on sale of assets, (gain) loss on fair market value of derivatives, gain on extinguishment of debt, and other expense, which are not considered to be in the normal course of operating activity. Investors should be cautioned, however, that DCM should not be construed as an alternative to income (loss) from continuing operations determined in accordance with US GAAP as an indicator of our performance. For a reconciliation of DCM to the comparable US GAAP measure, loss from continuing operations, see “Direct Contribution Margin”

(2) | | The term “EBITDA from continuing operations’’ refers to income from continuing operations before deducting depreciation, amortization of customer contracts, (gain) loss in sale assets, interest expense, (gain) loss on fair market value of derivatives, gain on extinguishment of debt, other expense, and income tax expense (recovery). EBITDA from continuing operations, as referred to in this news release, is a non-GAAP measure which does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by US GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that EBITDA from continuing operations provides a better assessment of cash flow from the Company’s operations by eliminating: (1) the charge for depreciation, amortization of customer contracts and stock-based compensation, which are non-cash expense items and (2) (gain) or loss on sale of assets, (gain) loss on fair market value of derivatives, gain on extinguishment of debt, and other expense, which are not considered to be in the normal course of operating activity. In addition, financial analysts and investors use a multiple of EBITDA from continuing operations for valuing companies within the same sector, in order to eliminate the differences in accounting treatment from one company to the next. Given that the Company is in a growth stage, we believe the focus on EBITDA from continuing operations gives the investor or reader of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and MD&A more insight into the operating capabilities of management and its utilization of the Company’s operating assets. Management further believes that EBITDA from continuing operations is also the best metric for measuring the Company’s valuation. Investors should be cautioned, however, that EBITDA from continuing operations should not be construed as an alternative to income (loss) from continuing operations determined in accordance with US GAAP as an indicator of the Company’s performance.
