AFFINION GROUP, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012

STAMFORD, Conn., February 28, 2013 – Affinion Group, Inc. (“Affinion” or the “Company”), the global leader in enabling companies to connect and engage with their customers, thereby creating rewarding relationships and enhancing brand loyalty, announced today the financial results for the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2012 (the “fourth quarter” or “quarter” and “full year,” respectively) for both Affinion and its parent company, Affinion Group Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”).

“In 2012, through the introduction of new services to our clients, the expansion of our geographic footprint and the continued relevance of our existing portfolio, we experienced very strong demand for our Loyalty and International products and services,” said Todd Siegel, Affinion’s Chief Executive Officer. “The combined double-digit revenue growth in Loyalty and International in 2012, on a currency consistent basis, helped to mitigate the impact of the reduced activity we experienced in North American Membership services from our financial institution clients throughout most of 2012.

“We remain well-positioned to support the needs of these clients whenever there are suitable opportunities to do so, and we continue to pursue multiple paths to diversify our business into other attractive channels – specifically retail point-of-sale and direct-to-consumer; accordingly, we expect to increase our level of investments meaningfully in 2013 to support these areas as well as our Loyalty and International businesses,” continued Siegel.

“While we expect Loyalty and International will continue to deliver very strong rates of growth in 2013, with the continued declines in North American Membership and the expected investments to support our existing and newest channels, we expect that our 2013 Adjusted EBITDA will decline approximately 10% and that we will end the year well-positioned to return to growth.”

Results Highlights

Notes: Adjusted EBITDA as referred to above excludes any pro forma impact of acquisitions. See Tables 6 and 11 for a complete description of Adjusted EBITDA and the related reconciliations to GAAP measures. On January 14, 2011, Affinion completed the acquisition of Webloyalty, a global online marketing services company. Webloyalty’s business results are reported as part of the Company’s Membership and International product segments, as appropriate. On August 1, 2011, Affinion completed the acquisition of Prospectiv Direct, Inc., an online performance marketer and operator of a daily deal website in the U.S. Prospectiv’s business results are reported as part of the Company’s Membership products segment. On November 14, 2012, Affinion completed the acquisition of Back-Up, a Turkish provider of concierge and other assistance services and a sister company, Travel, a Turkish travel agency. Back-Up’s and Travel’s business results are reported as part of the Company’s International products segment.

Fourth Quarter Net Revenues

•

Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 decreased 5.7%, from $386.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 to $364.6 million, with growth in International products revenues more than offset by declines in North American products revenues.

•

North American revenue increased in all products except for Membership, which declined 18.3% due to the previously disclosed reduction in new marketing campaigns within the Company’s large North American financial institution partner channel.

•

The revenue generated from all other products, on a currency consistent basis, increased 7.7% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011.

Fourth Quarter Operating Results

•

Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in Note (c) of Table 6) was $74.9 million as compared to $97.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, a decrease of 22.9%.

•

Segment EBITDA was $46.3 million as compared to $80.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, a decrease of $34.1 million, or 42.4%, as lower net revenues and higher general and administrative costs more than offset lower marketing and commissions expense in the quarter.

•

As compared to Adjusted EBITDA, fourth quarter Segment EBITDA reflects the inclusion of, among other items, $10.3 million in costs relating to the ongoing resolution of previously disclosed litigation matters, $6.5 million in restructuring costs primarily associated with certain International operations, $3.6 million of severance costs, $3.4 million of debt financing costs and $2.5 million of stock compensation expense.

Full Year Net Revenues

•

Net revenues for 2012 decreased 2.6%, from $1,535.2 million in 2011 to $1,494.6 million in 2012, with growth in International products revenues more than offset by a decline in North American products revenue.

•

Excluding a $13.8 million negative impact from unfavorable foreign exchange in the year, overall net revenues would have declined 1.7% from 2011.

•

In North America, double-digit revenue growth in Loyalty products revenue was more than offset by declines in both Membership and Insurance and Package products revenue.

Full Year Operating Results

•

Adjusted EBITDA was $334.8 million in 2012 as compared to $366.4 million for 2011, a decrease of $31.6 million, or 8.6%.

•

Segment EBITDA was $245.8 million in 2012 as compared to $282.2 million in 2011, with the decrease due principally to the previously disclosed $39.7 million in non-cash impairment charges against goodwill and intangible assets of the Prospectiv business recorded in the second quarter of 2012. Excluding this charge, Segment EBITDA increased $3.3 million as the impact of the lower net revenues and higher operating costs were more than offset by lower marketing and commissions and lower general and administrative costs.

•

Operating cash flow for 2012 was $68.9 million, compared to $107.0 million in 2011. The decrease was due primarily to the ongoing reduction in deferred revenue as monthly membership terms comprise an increasing percentage of the total subscriber base as well as lower membership levels and the timing of certain receipts and payments.

Segment Commentary

North America:

Membership products revenue decreased $36.0 million in the quarter, from $196.8 million to $160.8 million, or 18.3%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, and decreased $66.2 million, from $772.3 million to $706.1 million, or 8.6%, as compared to the full year. The decline in net Membership revenues for both periods was primarily due to lower volumes in connection with a reduction in new marketing campaigns with large domestic financial institution partners as well as the ongoing, but anticipated, attrition in volumes contributed from the domestic portion of the subscriber base acquired from Webloyalty.

Membership Segment EBITDA decreased $22.0 million in the quarter, from $36.8 million to $14.8 million,

as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, and decreased $2.6 million, from $127.8 million to $125.2 million, or 2.0%, as compared to the full year. The declines in both periods were primarily due to the lower net revenues, which were partially offset by lower marketing and commissions spend. The full year additionally benefited from the previously-disclosed reduction in general and administrative expenses in connection with the reversal of recorded consideration expense in the first quarter of 2012 with respect to the Prospectiv acquisition, which was partially offset by higher annual operating costs primarily associated with increased spend in support of our identity theft protection programs.

Insurance and Package products revenue increased $3.2 million in the quarter, from $77.6 million to $80.8 million, or 4.1%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011 and decreased $5.7 million, from $337.7 million to $332.0 million, or 1.7%, as compared to the full year. The increase in the quarter was primarily due to a lower cost of insurance in connection with lower claims experience as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, partially offset by lower annualized revenue per subscriber in our domestic package programs (which does not give effect to wholesale revenues or International package revenues). For the year, revenue was negatively impacted by the previously-disclosed absence of a one-time payment received from a benefit provider in the first quarter of 2011 along with lower fee-based revenue and lower annualized revenue per subscriber in package, which was only partially offset by a lower cost of insurance as compared to 2011.

Insurance and Package Segment EBITDA increased $7.3 million in the quarter, from $14.6 million to $21.9 million, or 50.0%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011 and increased $7.2 million, from $96.7 million to $103.9 million, or 7.4%, as compared to the full year. Segment EBITDA in both periods benefited from lower marketing and commissions as well as lower operating costs. In addition, the fourth quarter benefitted from lower general and administrative costs as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011.

Loyalty products revenue increased $4.5 million in the quarter, from $38.1 million to $42.6 million, or 11.8%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, and increased $15.2 million, from $140.4 million to $155.6 million, or 10.8%, as compared to the full year. Revenue in both the quarter and the year grew primarily from the launch of new programs with existing clients as well as the introduction of programs with new clients.

Loyalty Segment EBITDA decreased $0.8 million in the quarter, from $17.3 million to $16.5 million, or 4.6%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011 and increased $5.3 million, from $49.3 million to $54.6 million, or 10.8%, as compared to the full year. Both periods benefited from the same factors that affected the revenue growth, which, in the quarter and full year, respectively, were more than or only partially offset by higher operating costs required to service the new programs.

International:

International revenue increased $6.1 million in the quarter, from $74.9 million to $81.0 million, or 8.1%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, and increased $14.9 million, from $288.3 million to $303.2 million, or 5.2%, as compared to the full year. The growth in both periods was primarily due to higher member volumes, primarily from the Company’s retail membership channel, which was only partially offset by a $0.5 million and $13.8 million unfavorable impact from foreign exchange in the quarter and full year, respectively. Revenue additionally benefited somewhat from the Company’s recent acquisition of a concierge services provider in Turkey, which helped to offset lower package revenues associated with previously disclosed contracts that had been negotiated at lower rates.

International Segment EBITDA decreased $16.2 million in the quarter, from $15.3 million to $(0.9) million, or 106%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, and decreased $19.0 million, from $38.6 million to $19.6 million, or 49.2%, as compared to the full year. The decrease in both periods was primarily due to higher marketing and commissions spending, as well as higher general and administrative expenses in connection with the restructuring of certain International operations, costs related to the resolution of certain legal matters and costs to support our entry into new markets.

Upon cancellation of a subscriber or an insured, as applicable, the subscriber’s or insured’s, as applicable, revenues are no longer recognized in the calculation.

⁽²⁾

Average Global subscribers and Average Supplemental Insureds for the period are all calculated by determining the average subscribers or insureds, as applicable, for each month in the period (adding the number of subscribers or insureds, as applicable, at the beginning of the month with the number of subscribers or insureds, as applicable, at the end of the month and dividing that total by two) and then averaging that result for the period. A subscriber’s or insured’s, as applicable, account is added or removed in the period in which the subscriber or insured, as applicable, has joined or cancelled.

Effect of the pro forma adjustments ^(e)		6.1

Adjusted EBITDA, including pro forma adjustments ^(f)	$	340.9

^(a)

Eliminates the effect of purchase accounting related to the Apollo Transactions and acquisitions of Webloyalty and Boyner Bireysel Urunler Satis ve Pazarlama A.S. (“Back-Up”), a Turkish provider of concierge and other assistance services and a sister company, Bofis Turizm ve Ticaret A.S. (“Travel”), a Turkish travel agency, legal costs for certain legal matters and costs associated with severance incurred.

^(b)

Eliminates (i) net changes in certain reserves, (ii) foreign currency gains and losses related to unusual, non-recurring intercompany transactions, (iii) the loss from an investment accounted for under the equity method, (iv) costs associated with certain strategic and corporate development activities and (v) consulting fees paid to Apollo.

^(c)

Adjusted EBITDA consists of income from operations before depreciation and amortization further adjusted to exclude non-cash and unusual items and other adjustments permitted in our debt agreements to test the permissibility of certain types of transactions, including debt incurrence. We believe that the inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate as a liquidity measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of liquidity or financial performance under U.S. GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as an indicator of cash flows, as a measure of liquidity, as an alternative to operating or net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as an indicator of operating performance.

^(d)

Adjusted EBITDA, excluding pro forma adjustments, does not give pro forma effect to the projected annualized benefits of restructurings and other cost savings initiatives in connection with the Webloyalty, Prospectiv and Back-Up and Travel acquisitions. However, we do make such accretive pro forma adjustments as if such restructurings and cost savings initiatives had occurred on January 1, 2012 in calculating the Adjusted EBITDA under the amended and restated senior secured credit facility and the indentures governing our 7.875% senior notes and senior subordinated notes.

^(e)	Gives effect to the projected annualized benefits of restructurings and other cost savings initiatives in connection with the Webloyalty, Prospectiv and Back-Up and Travel acquisitions as if such restructurings and cost savings initiatives had occurred on January 1, 2012.

^(f)	Adjusted EBITDA, including pro forma adjustments, gives pro forma effect to the adjustments discussed in (e) above.

⁽ⁱ⁾	The interest coverage ratio is defined in our amended and restated senior secured credit facility, as amended on November 20, 2012 (Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, to interest expense, as defined). The interest coverage ratio must be equal to or greater than 1.25 to 1.0 at December 31, 2012.

^(j)

The senior secured leverage ratio is defined in our amended and restated senior secured credit facility, as amended on November 20, 2012 (senior secured debt, as defined, to Adjusted EBITDA, as defined). The senior secured leverage ratio must be equal to or less than 4.25 to 1.0 at December 31, 2012.

^(k)

The fixed charge coverage ratio is defined in the indentures governing our 7.875% senior notes and our senior subordinated notes (consolidated cash flows, as defined, which is equivalent to Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in our amended and restated senior secured credit facility) to fixed charges, as defined). The calculation of fixed charges excludes the amortization of deferred financing costs associated with the amendment and restatement of our credit facility on April 9, 2010.
