SuperMedia Announces Third Quarter 2011 Results
DALLAS — SuperMedia (NASDAQ:SPMD) today announced its financial results for third quarter 2011.
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”. Our 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 in 2010 and certain unique costs including an impairment charge, reorganization items, severance costs, restructuring costs and certain other non-recurring costs.
In the third quarter, SuperMedia recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1,003 million associated with the write down of goodwill. This charge had no impact on the company’s results of operations, cash flow or compliance with debt covenants.
“During the third quarter we maintained the operating margin improvements we saw in the first half of the year,” said SuperMedia CEO Peter McDonald. “While I’m disappointed in the top line results, I am pleased with our continuing efforts in attacking the cost structure and I’m encouraged by the early progress we are seeing from our sales and marketing initiatives as we approach 2012.
Our results include:
· Third quarter 2011 advertising sales, an operating measure, declined 15.9 percent, compared to a third quarter 2010 decline of 15.4 percent;
· Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization or EBITDA was $157 million for third quarter 2011, an 8.7 percent decline compared to third quarter 2010 adjusted pro forma EBITDA of $172 million. Third quarter 2010 results included an expense reduction of $24 million related to the favorable, non-recurring, non-cash resolution of state operating tax claims; and
· Continued cost management and expense reductions partially mitigated revenue declines, resulting in an improved adjusted EBITDA margin of 39.3 percent compared to an adjusted pro forma EBITDA margin of 35.2 percent in the third quarter of 2010.”

Financial Summary
GAAP operating revenue for Q3 2011 was $399 million versus $349 million in Q3 2010. When comparing the GAAP Q3 2011 operating revenue of $399 million to the non-GAAP adjusted pro forma operating revenue of $489 million for Q3 2010, revenue declined 18.4 percent.
GAAP operating revenue for the nine months ending September 30, 2011 was $1,258 million.
Taking into consideration the non-cash impairment charge, Q3 2011 EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was a loss of $854 million compared to income of $74 million in Q3 2010. Year-to-date 2011 EBITDA was a loss of $557 million compared to a loss of $36 million for the same period in 2010.
On an adjusted basis, Q3 2011 EBITDA was $157 million with an EBITDA margin of 39.3 percent, compared to adjusted pro forma Q3 2010 EBITDA of $172 million, with an EBITDA margin of 35.2 percent, which included an expense reduction of $24 million related to the favorable, non-recurring, non-cash resolution of state operating tax claims.
On an adjusted basis, year-to-date 2011 EBITDA was $463 million with an EBITDA margin of 36.8 percent, compared to year-to-date adjusted pro forma 2010 EBITDA of $500 million with an EBITDA margin of 32.6 percent which included an expense reduction of $40 million related to the favorable, non-recurring, non-cash resolution of state operating tax claims.
Advertising sales in Q3 2011 declined 15.9 percent, compared to a decline of 15.4 percent reported for the same period in 2010. Year-to-date 2011 advertising sales declined 17.01 percent, compared to a decline of 17.5 percent for the same period in 2010.
Year-to-date 2011 free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, was $129 million, representing cash provided by operating activities of $140 million, less capital expenditures (including capitalized software) of $11 million. Year-to-date 2010 free cash flow was $373 million, representing cash provided by operating activities of $404 million, less capital expenditures (including capitalized software) of $31 million. Our 2011 results include income tax payments of $143 million while our 2010 results include a federal income tax refund of $94 million.
Cash on hand as of September 30, 2011 was $267 million. SuperMedia made a debt principal payment of $60 million on October 13, 2011, in accordance with the mandatory cash sweep provisions of the Company’s credit agreement.

Excluding this impact, advertising sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 would have reflected a decline of 16.2 percent. As of June 2011, these accounts have been transitioned to other certified marketing representative firms.

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. On 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 2010 consolidated statement of operations. For the readers’ convenience, the financial information accompanying this release provides a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.

(2) Operating income (loss) margin is calculated by dividing operating income (loss) by operating revenue.
(3) Restructuring and other severance costs include costs associated with strategic organizational cost savings initiatives of $5 million and costs related to the termination of our former chief executive officer’s employment of $4 million.
(4) Reorganization items represent charges that are directly associated with the process of reorganizing the business under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
(5) As a result of the passage of the Health Care Reform Act in March of 2010, the future benefit of certain deferred tax assets was eliminated, resulting in a charge in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
(6) Fresh start accounting items include adjustments for revenue and expense items that would have been otherwise amortized into the Company’s statement of operations but were written off at December 31, 2009 as prescribed by United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
(7) Results include a $40 million general and administrative expense reduction related to the favorable non-recurring, non-cash resolution of state operating tax claims.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2011 include negative adjustments of $11 million or 0.8 percent related to the financial distress and operational wind down of a single certified marketing representative in our third-party national sales channel. Excluding this impact, advertising sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 would have relected a decline of 16.2 percent. As of June 2011, these accounts have been transitioned to other certified marketing representative firms.
