Diluted loss per share from continuing operations attributable to MDC Partners common shareholders for the third quarter of 2012 was ($0.45) compared to ($0.65) per share in the same period of 2011. Free cash flow from operations (as defined) was $17.4 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared with an outflow of ($3.7) million in the third quarter of 2011.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, consolidated revenue was $777.3 million, an increase of 13.2% compared to $686.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. EBITDA (as defined) for the nine months ended 2012 increased 10.0% to $73.4 million compared to $66.7 million in the same period of 2011.

David Doft, CFO of MDC Partners, said, “We are making significant progress reducing our balance sheet leverage, which was at 3.46 times net debt-to-pro-forma-EBITDA as of the end of the quarter. Our focus over the next several quarters is to bring our leverage down further, and we expect it to be between 3.0 and 3.5 times net debt-to-pro-forma-EBITDA by year-end and 2.5 to 3 times net debt-to-pro forma EBITDA by the end of 2013. We believe that a stronger balance sheet in conjunction with expanding EBITDA and margin growth will result in stronger equity returns for shareholders over time.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to its reported results, MDC Partners has included in this earnings release certain financial results that the Securities and Exchange Commission defines as "non-GAAP financial measures." Management believes that such non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the Company's reported results, can provide useful supplemental information for investors analyzing period to period comparisons of the Company's results. These non-GAAP financial measures relate to: (1) presenting EBITDA and EBITDA margin (as defined) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011; and (2) presenting Total Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow per Share (as defined) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Included in this earnings release are tables reconciling MDC’s reported results to arrive at these non-GAAP financial measures.
This press release contains forward-looking statements. The Company’s representatives may also make forward-looking statements orally from time to time. Statements in this press release that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company’s beliefs and expectations, earnings guidance, recent business and economic trends, potential acquisitions, estimates of amounts for deferred acquisition consideration and “put” option rights, constitute forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, and are subject to change based on a number of factors, including those outlined in this section. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events, if any.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Such risk factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
· | risks associated with severe effects of international, national and regional economic downturn; |
· | the Company’s ability to attract new clients and retain existing clients; |
· | the spending patterns and financial success of the Company’s clients; |
· | the Company’s ability to retain and attract key employees; |
· | the Company’s ability to remain in compliance with its debt agreements and the Company’s ability to finance its contingent payment obligations when due and payable, including but not limited to those relating to “put” option right and deferred acquisition consideration; |
· | the successful completion and integration of acquisitions which complement and expand the Company’s business capabilities; and |
· | foreign currency fluctuations. |
The Company’s business strategy includes ongoing efforts to engage in material acquisitions of ownership interests in entities in the marketing communications services industry. The Company intends to finance these acquisitions by using available cash from operations, from borrowings under its credit facility and through incurrence of bridge or other debt financing, any of which may increase the Company’s leverage ratios, or by issuing equity, which may have a dilutive impact on existing shareholders proportionate ownership. At any given time the Company may be engaged in a number of discussions that may result in one or more material acquisitions. These opportunities require confidentiality and may involve negotiations that require quick responses by the Company. Although there is uncertainty that any of these discussions will result in definitive agreements or the completion of any transactions, the announcement of any such transaction may lead to increased volatility in the trading price of the Company’s securities.
Investors should carefully consider these risk factors and the additional risk factors outlined in more detail in the Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption “Risk Factors” and in the Company’s other SEC filings.
