GEMSTAR-TV GUIDE ANNOUNCES FULL YEAR AND FOURTH QUARTER 2007 RESULTS
Los Angeles, California (February 14, 2008) – Gemstar-TV Guide International, Inc. (NASDAQ: GMST) announced that for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company reported consolidated revenues of $627.7 million, an increase of 10%, versus $571.3 million in 2006. Growth was largely driven by a 28% increase in the Company’s Guidance Technology and Solutions segment.
Operating income for 2007 of $65.9 million benefited from the reversal of $10.7 million in accrued patent rights liabilities relating to a former CEO and included costs of $7.4 million related to the Company’s exploration of strategic alternatives. Operating income for 2006 of $66.9 million benefited from the reversal of $40.1 million of accrued expenses relating to former officers of the Company and included $3.3 million in accrued patent rights expense relating to a former CEO. In addition to increased Guidance Technology and Solutions revenues, the year also saw reduced operating costs in the Company’s Publishing segment, partially offset by higher corporate marketing expense.
Net income for 2007 increased to $176.9 million, or $0.41 per share, compared with net income of $72.5 million, or $0.17 per share in 2006. Net income for 2007 was positively impacted by $107.4 million in income tax benefits, as a result of reversing our deferred tax asset valuation allowance, a benefit of approximately $0.25 per share.
Rich Battista, Gemstar-TV Guide CEO, commented, “I am pleased with the strong financial performance of the Company in 2007. Year over year we saw a 10% increase in consolidated revenue and, on an operating basis, the Company had a significant improvement it its financial performance. Our Guidance Technology and Solutions segment contributed considerably to this solid performance as we greatly expanded our patent licensing program both internationally and to emerging platforms, while also growing our IPG products and services businesses on a global basis. We also achieved a better-than-forecasted performance atTV Guide magazine.”
Mr. Battista continued, “In 2007, the Company focused on the development and deployment of My TV Guide, our suite of cross-platform, next generation guidance tools and services. Our media businesses enjoyed solid distribution and each strengthened their content offerings with innovative enhancements, including the Online Video Guide at TVGuide.com.”

Guidance Technology and Solutions
| • | | Revenues for the full year ended December 31, 2007 were $286.1 million, or 45% of the Company’s total revenue. Revenues for 2007 increased 28% from revenues of $222.9 million in 2006. This was primarily due to a 41% increase in IPG patent revenues and a 32% increase in IPG Products and Services revenues. Partially offsetting this was an 18% decrease in VCR Plus+ revenues, due to a reduction in units shipped incorporating VCR Plus+ technology. |
| • | | For the full 2007 year, adjusted EBITDA increased to $186.1 million, a 37% increase versus 2006. This was largely due to increased revenues, partially offset by higher operating expenses primarily from the acquisition of Aptiv Digital. |
| • | | Revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007 were $71.2 million, an increase of 29% versus the prior year’s quarter. The increase was primarily due to a 29% increase in IPG Patent License revenues and a 44% increase in IPG Products and Services revenues, offset by a 19% decrease in VCR Plus+ revenues versus the prior year’s quarter. |
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter increased to $41.8 million, a 43% increase versus the prior year’s quarter, due to the increase in revenues. |
Media Networks
| • | | Revenues for the full year ended December 31, 2007 were $199.3 million, or 32% of the Company’s total revenue. Revenues for 2007 increased 1% from revenues of $197.0 million in 2006. This was primarily due to a 29% increase in revenues at Online Networks, primarily attributable to increased traffic to the Web sites, increased CPMs, and new advertisers for the Online Video Guide. |
| • | | For the full 2007 year, adjusted EBITDA decreased to $36.7 million, a 14% decrease versus 2006, principally due to the planned increase in programming and marketing for TV Guide Network. |
| • | | Revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007 were $51.6 million, relatively flat with the prior year’s quarter. Increased revenues of 33% at Online Networks and 1% at TV Guide Network were offset by an 8% decrease at TVG Network. |
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter increased to $13.4 million, a 3% increase versus the prior year’s quarter. |
Publishing
| • | | Revenues for the full year ended December 31, 2007 were $142.3 million, or 23% of the Company’s total revenue. Revenues for 2007 decreased 6% from revenues of $151.4 million in 2006. This was primarily due to an anticipated decrease in subscriber revenues, partially offset by higher advertising revenues, which increased 15% primarily due to a 23% increase in advertising paging versus 2006. |
| • | | For the full 2007 year, adjusted EBITDA was reduced to negative $(20.3) million, an improvement of 52%, or $21.6 million, versus 2006. This substantial improvement was primarily due to a $21.2 million decrease inTV Guide magazine production costs mainly as a result of a decrease in average printed copies per issue, lower paper costs, and reduced general and administrative expenses from greater operating efficiencies. With this improved performance, the Company anticipates continuing, but declining losses for the next two to three years. |
| • | | Revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007 were $33.0 million, a decrease of 13% versus the prior year’s quarter. The decrease was primarily due to an anticipated reduction in circulation related revenues, partially offset by increased advertising revenues atTV Guidemagazine. |
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter was negative $(10.9) million, an improvement over the prior year’s quarter. The planned revenue decrease was more than offset by greater operating efficiencies including the outsourcing of fulfillment services, reductions in general and administrative costs, and reduced print and paper costs. |

Cross Platform Costs
| • | | For the full 2007 year, adjusted EBITDA was negative $(92.5) million compared with an adjusted EBITDA of negative $(34.6) million in 2006. Cross-platform product development and technology costs increased $6.4 million due to a ramp up in capabilities during 2007.
