MILLENNIAL MEDIA REPORTS Q1’12 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Baltimore, Maryland — May 14, 2012 — Millennial Media, Inc. (NYSE: MM), the independent leader in mobile advertising, today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2012.
“Our first quarter performance exceeded expectations with strong year over year revenue growth, as well as expansion in the numbers of unique users and apps on the Millennial Media platform,” stated Paul Palmieri, Co-Founder, President and CEO of Millennial Media.
Palmieri added, “We’re excited that we became a public company during the first quarter, which significantly increased our market awareness and resources to execute our long-term growth strategy and investments. We are aggressively investing given we are still in the early stages of a large and rapidly growing mobile advertising market. As a market leader, we believe Millennial Media is well-positioned to drive the business model of the worldwide app economy.”

Outlook
Based on information as of May 14, 2012, we expect total revenue for the second quarter of 2012 to be in the range of $37 million to $38 million and adjusted EBITDA, which excludes stock-based compensation, to be between $(3.2) million and $(3.5) million. For the full year 2012, we expect revenue to be in the range of $173 million to $176 million and adjusted EBITDA, which excludes stock-based compensation, to be between $(3.0) million and $(4.0) million.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Millennial Media reports adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The company uses this non-GAAP financial measure for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that the measure provides useful information about operating results, enhances the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results and guidance prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measure included in this press release has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the table following the financial statements attached to this press release.

(1) | On April 3, 2012, Millennial Media closed the initial public offering of its common stock (“IPO”). Upon closing of the IPO, all of the redeemable convertible preferred stock outstanding automatically converted into 47,679,003 shares of common stock, based on the shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock outstanding as of March 31, 2012. In addition, the outstanding Series B warrant automatically converted into a warrant to purchase common stock, and the preferred stock warrant liability of $1.0 million as of April 3, 2012 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. Unaudited pro forma stockholders’ equity, as adjusted for the assumed conversion of the redeemable convertible preferred stock and the reclassification of the Series B warrant liability, is set forth on the unaudited March 31, 2012 pro forma balance sheet. |
| |
| Millennial Media believes that the unaudited pro forma balance sheet provides material information to investors, as the conversion of its redeemable convertible preferred stock to common stock and the conversion of the Series B warrant to a common stock warrant occurred upon the closing of the IPO, and therefore the disclosure of pro forma stockholders’ equity provides a measure of equity that is comparable to what will be reported by Millennial Media in its financial statements for periods subsequent to April 3, 2012. |

(1) | The unaudited pro forma net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 assumes (i) the conversion of all outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock into an aggregate of 47,679,003 shares of common stock as of January 1, 2012, and (ii) the conversion of the Series B warrant to a common stock warrant as of January 1, 2012. The amounts recorded to reflect the accretion of dividends on redeemable convertible preferred stock and to adjust the Series B warrant to fair value have been added back to net loss to arrive at pro forma net loss. |
