SuperMedia Announces First Quarter 2011 Results

DALLAS – SuperMedia (NASDAQ:SPMD) today announced its financial results for first quarter 2011.

Results include:

· First quarter 2011 advertising sales declined 17.8 percent¹, compared to a first quarter 2010 decline of 20.4 percent;

· Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were $154 million for first quarter 2011, a 5.5 percent decline compared to first quarter 2010 adjusted pro forma EBITDA of $163 million;

· Continued cost management and expense reductions partially mitigated revenue declines, resulting in an improved adjusted EBITDA margin of 35.2 percent compared to an adjusted pro forma EBITDA margin of 30.6 percent in the first quarter of 2010.

“This was a productive quarter as our new leadership in sales and marketing introduced disciplined processes and practices to improve the business,” said SuperMedia CEO Peter McDonald. “Overall, we are pleased with the initial reception to our approach.

“Research continues to show there is value in core print and online directory businesses, as well as additional opportunities relative to other digital products,” McDonald said. “With the economy starting to show early signs of improvement, we remain encouraged.”

Financial Summary

SuperMedia reports financial results in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and on a non-GAAP basis, referred to as “adjusted and adjusted pro forma”. The non-GAAP basis measures are described and reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures in the accompanying financial schedules. These results were adjusted for the impact of fresh start accounting and certain unique costs including reorganization items, restructuring costs and certain other non-recurring costs.

Reported GAAP operating revenue for Q1 2011 was $438 million versus $154 million in Q1 2010. Adjusted operating revenue for Q1 2011 was $438 million, compared to adjusted pro forma operating revenue of $533 million for Q1 2010, a decline of 17.8 percent.

Reported Q1 2011 EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $147 million compared to a loss of $96 million reported in Q1 2010. On an adjusted basis, Q1 2011 EBITDA was $154 million with an EBITDA margin of 35.2 percent, compared to adjusted pro forma Q1 2010 EBITDA of $163 million, an EBITDA margin of 30.6 percent.

Advertising sales in Q1 2011 declined 17.8 percent(1), compared to a decline of 20.4 percent reported for the same period in 2010.

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure was negative $9 million for Q1 2011, representing cash used in operating activities of $6 million, and capital expenditures (including capitalized software) of $3 million. Q1 2011 free cash flow includes a federal tax payment of $72 million associated with 2010 tax obligations. Cash on hand as of March 31, 2011 was $165 million.

Basis of Presentation and Non-GAAP Measures

Upon emergence from bankruptcy on December 31, 2009, SuperMedia adopted fresh start accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, SuperMedia’s 2010 financial results were significantly affected. At December 31, 2009, the balances in deferred revenue and deferred directory costs were adjusted to their fair value of zero, which had a significant non-cash impact on our 2010 consolidated statement of operations. For the readers’ convenience, the financial information accompanying this release provides a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.

###

(1) Advertising sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 include a negative adjustment of $9 million, or 1.9% related to the financial distress and operational wind down of a single certified marketing representative firm in our third-party national sales channel. Excluding this impact, advertising sales in Q1 2011 would have reflected a decline of 15.9 percent.

· 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;

· changes in our operating performance;

· our post-restructuring financial condition, financing requirements and cash flow;

· limitations on our operating and strategic flexibility and the ability to operate our business, finance our capital needs or expand business strategies under the terms of our debt agreements;

· 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 debt ratings;

· our ability to resolve any remaining bankruptcy claims;

· 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, publishing and distribution services;

· credit risk associated with our reliance on small- and medium-sized businesses as clients;

· our ability to attract and retain qualified key personnel;

· our ability to maintain good relations with our unionized employees;

· changes in labor, business, political and economic conditions;

· changes in governmental regulations and policies and actions of regulatory bodies; and

· the outcome of pending or future litigation and other claims.

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this press release and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the information in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Notes:

(1) Net advertising sales is an operating measure used by the Company to compare advertising sales for current advertising periods to corresponding sales for previous periods. It is important to distinguish net advertising sales from operating revenue, which on our financial statements is recognized under the deferral and amortization method.

(2) Advertising sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 include a negative adjustment of $9 million, or 1.9 percent, related to the financial distress and operational wind down of a single certified marketing representative firm in our third-party national sales channel. Excluding this impact, advertising sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 would have reflected a decline of 15.9 percent.
