SuperMedia Announces Q2 2010 Results
DALLAS — SuperMedia (NASDAQ:SPMD), a leading advertising agency for local small- to medium-sized businesses across the United States, today announced its financial results for the second quarter 2010.
Second quarter highlights:
· Improvement in second quarter ad sales trends to a rate of decline of 16.9 percent, versus the first quarter rate of decline of 20.6 percent;
· Debt principal payments of $177 million during the quarter, in accordance with the mandatory cash sweep provisions of the Company’s loan agreement, $122 million related to second quarter cash flows and $55 million related to first quarter cash flows;
· Continued aggressive cost management; and
· Cash on hand of $300 million at the end of the quarter.
“Today we stand almost a full seven months removed from exiting Chapter 11 and emerging as SuperMedia,” said Scott W. Klein, chief executive officer of SuperMedia. “We continue to be encouraged by what we are seeing in the business as reflected in second quarter results, despite the fact that the overall economic climate remains uncertain.
“This view is based on the indicators we are seeing from the plans we have implemented thus far that are designed ultimately to drive revenue, reduce expenses, improve margins and continue to foster a high-performance culture.”
Klein continued, “We believe the fundamentals of our business model remain sound. Small- to medium-sized businesses need advertising-agency-like services for the Internet, direct mail and of course the print yellow pages to help them get consumers to click on their websites, make their phones ring and to get them to knock on their doors. We remain committed to improving our ability to deliver on our ‘click-ring-knock’ promise to our clients. ”
“We continue to be laser-focused on introducing new revenue-generating opportunities and achieving expense reductions.” Klein continued. “That said, because of the nature and timing of the way we sell, publish and amortize revenue, there is a lag time between the implementation of changes and the impact of those changes on our financial results.”

Financial Summary
SuperMedia reports financial results on a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and non-GAAP basis, referred to as “adjusted pro forma”. The adjusted pro forma basis measures are described and reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures in the accompanying financial schedules. These results were adjusted for the impacts of fresh start accounting and certain unique costs including reorganization items, restructuring costs and other non-recurring costs.
Reported GAAP operating revenue for Q2 2010 was $247 million. Adjusted pro forma operating revenue for Q2 2010 was $512 million, versus $651 million for Q2 2009, a decline of 21.4 percent.
Reported GAAP year-to-date operating revenue for 2010 was $401 million. Adjusted pro forma year-to-date operating revenue for 2010 was $1,045 million, versus $1,325 million for the same period in 2009, a decline of 21.1 percent.
Reported Q2 2010 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) was a loss of $14 million. On an adjusted pro forma basis, Q2 2010 EBITDA was $165 million with an EBITDA margin of 32.2 percent compared to 2Q 2009 EBITDA of $236 million with an EBITDA Margin of 36.3 percent.
Reported year-to-date 2010 EBITDA was a loss of $110 million. On an adjusted pro forma basis, year-to-date 2010 EBITDA was $328 million with an EBITDA margin of 31.4 percent compared to year-to-date 2009 EBITDA of $452 million with an EBITDA margin of 34.1 percent.
The above results include a $16 million general and administrative expense reduction related to a favorable non-recurring non-cash resolution of state tax claims.
Advertising sales in Q2 2010 declined 16.9 percent. Ad sales for Q2 2010 reflect activity primarily from the last quarter of 2009 and first quarter of 2010.
Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, year to date 2010 was $265 million representing cash from operating activities of $286 million, less capital expenditures (including capitalized software) of $21 million. This includes a net federal income tax refund of $94 million relative to 2009.
SuperMedia made debt principal payments of $177 million in the second quarter, in accordance with the mandatory cash sweep provisions of the Company’s loan agreement, $122 million related to second quarter cash flows and $55 million related to first quarter cash flows. Cash on hand at the end of the quarter totaled $300 million, reflecting the net cash benefits of the items noted above.

Basis of Presentation and Non-GAAP Measures
In connection with SuperMedia’s emergence from bankruptcy on December 31, 2009, and the application of fresh start accounting, the post-emergence results of the successor company and the pre-emergence results of the predecessor company are presented separately as successor and predecessor results in the financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. This presentation is required by GAAP as the successor company is considered to be a new entity and the results of the new entity reflect the application of fresh start accounting. For the readers’ convenience, the financial information accompanying this release provides a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.

· results from any failure to comply with the financial covenants and other restrictive covenants in our debt agreements;
· limited access to capital markets and increased borrowing costs resulting from our leveraged capital structure and recent debt ratings;

· competition from other yellow pages directory publishers and other traditional and new media and our ability to anticipate or respond to changes in technology and user preferences;
· declining use of print yellow pages directories by consumers;
3
· our ability to complete the implementation of our plan of reorganization and the discharge of our Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases, including successfully resolving any remaining claims;

· the impact that the filing for and emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy has had and could continue to have on our business operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flow;
· changes in the availability and cost of paper and other raw materials used to print our directories and our reliance on third-party providers for printing and distribution services;
· increased credit risk associated with our reliance on small- and medium-sized businesses as clients, in the current economic environment;
