Dex Media Announces Third Quarter 2013 Earnings

DALLAS, Nov. 5, 2013 — Dex Media, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXM), one of the largest national providers of social, local and mobile marketing solutions through direct relationships with local businesses, today announced financial results for the third quarter and year to date ending Sept. 30, 2013.

“As we continue our integration efforts, we are also focused on implementing comprehensive initiatives to drive improved sales,” said Peter McDonald, president and CEO of Dex Media. “We look to build on our strong base of more than 600,000 clients and attract new clients by offering customized marketing solutions for small and medium sized businesses throughout the country.”

The company continues to transform to a multi-platform marketing solutions provider serving local businesses. Dex Media has a strong presence in the marketplace serving more than 200,000 clients of its total of more than 600,000 clients with one or more digital solutions. Of its $1.686 billion year to date pro forma operating revenues, close to one-fourth is sourced from digital solutions.

(1) These represent non-GAAP measures. Pro forma Operating Revenue includes Dex One Corporation (“Dex One”) and SuperMedia Inc. (“SuperMedia”) operating revenue as if the merger of Dex One and SuperMedia had occurred prior to 2012 and excludes the impact of acquisition accounting, as required by U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Pro forma EBITDA represents earnings before interest; taxes; depreciation and amortization; gains on early extinguishment of debt; and other nonrecurring items, including reorganization items, merger transaction costs, merger integration costs, severance costs, and the amortization of other post-employment benefits. Adjusted Pro forma EBITDA includes Dex One and SuperMedia EBITDA as if the merger had occurred prior to 2012; and excludes the impact of acquisition accounting, as required by U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Pro forma EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted Pro forma EBITDA by Pro forma Operating Revenue.

(2) Advertising sales is an operating measure which represents the annual contract value of print directories published and digital contracts sold. It is important to distinguish advertising sales from revenue, which under U.S. GAAP are recognized under the deferral and amortization method. Advertising sales are a leading indicator of revenue recognition and are presented on a combined basis, including both Dex One and SuperMedia, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Cash provided by operations for nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $250 million. Adjusted pro-forma cash provided by operations, a non-GAAP measure, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $339 million. Dex Media and its predecessor companies have repaid $321 million of debt year to date through the third quarter. The company had a cash balance of $234 million as of September 30, 2013.

Acquisition Accounting Statement

On April 30, 2013, the merger of Dex One and SuperMedia was consummated, with 100% of the equity of SuperMedia being exchanged for equity in Dex Media. We accounted for the business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, with Dex One identified as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes. As a result of the acquisition of SuperMedia, our U.S. GAAP results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 include the operating results of SuperMedia from May 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013. The historical results of SuperMedia for April 2013 and prior periods have not been included. Prior to the merger with Dex One, SuperMedia had deferred revenue and deferred directory costs on its consolidated balance sheet. These amounts represented future revenue and cost that would have been amortized by SuperMedia from May 2013 through April 2014 that will not be recognized by Dex Media. As a result of acquisition accounting, the fair value of deferred revenue and deferred directory costs was determined to have no future value, thus were not recognized in the operating results of Dex Media. The exclusion of these items from our operating results did not have any impact on the cash flows of Dex Media. See the attached schedules and our quarterly filing on Form 10-Q for additional information on the merger and the financial impacts on our results.

Basis of Presentation and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The financial information accompanying this release provides a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP and adjusted pro-forma non-GAAP results. Dex Media believes that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of its current financial performance. Specifically, Dex Media believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to management and investors by excluding certain nonrecurring items that Dex Media believes are not indicative of its core operating results. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring Dex Media’s performance, and Dex Media believes that non-GAAP results provide investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal financial measurement processes.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements that include the words “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “forecast,” “estimate,” “expect,” “preliminary,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “outlook” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements.

Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to, the risks related to the following:

(3) Pro Forma Adjusted Free Cash Flow is calculated by adding Dex Media free cash flow to the historical operating cash flow and additions to fixed assets and capitalized software of SuperMedia that, as a result of acquisition accounting are not included in Dex Media free cash flow before payments for merger transaction cost.

· the risk that anticipated cost savings, growth opportunities and other financial and operating benefits as a result of the merger of SuperMedia and Dex One may not be realized or may take longer to realize than expected;

· the risk that benefits from the merger of Dex One and SuperMedia may be significantly offset by costs incurred in integrating Dex One and SuperMedia operations;

· difficulties with the process of integrating the operations of Dex One and SuperMedia, including: coordinating geographically separate organizations; integrating business cultures, which could prove to be incompatible; difficulties and costs of integrating information technology systems; and the potential difficulty in retaining key officers and personnel;

· our inability to provide assurance for the long-term continued viability of our business;

· reduced advertising spending and increased contract cancellations by our clients, which causes reduced revenue;

· declining use of print yellow pages directories by consumers;

· competition from other yellow pages directory publishers and other traditional and new media including increased competition from existing and emerging digital technologies;

· our ability to collect trade receivables from clients to whom we extend credit;

· our ability to anticipate or respond to changes in technology and user preferences;

· changes in our operating performance;

· limitations on our operating and strategic flexibility and the ability to operate our business, finance our capital needs or expand business strategies under the terms of our credit facilities;

· failure to comply with the financial covenants and other restrictive covenants in our credit facilities;

· limited access to capital markets and increased borrowing costs resulting from our leveraged capital structure and debt ratings;

· changes in our credit rating;

· changes in the availability and cost of paper and other raw materials used to print our directories;

· our reliance on third-party providers for printing, publishing and distribution services;

· our ability to maintain agreements with major internet search and local media companies;

· credit risk associated with our reliance on small- and medium-sized businesses as clients;

· our ability to attract and retain qualified key personnel;

· our ability to maintain good relations with our unionized employees;

· changes in labor, business, political and economic conditions;

· changes in governmental regulations and policies and actions of federal, state and local municipalities impacting our businesses;

· the outcome of pending or future litigation and other claims; and

· other events beyond our control that may result in unexpected adverse operating results.

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in periodic reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the information and risk factors in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed by Dex One Corporation, as updated in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. All forward-looking statements included in this release are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures End Notes

Schedule H

(1)		EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents earnings before interest, taxes, reorganization items, gains on early extinguishment of debt, depreciation and amortization.

(2)		Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts EBITDA for certain unique costs and pro forma items.

		Adjusted Pro Forma results for 2013 reflect the combination of Dex One and SuperMedia as if the transaction had been consummated prior to January 1, 2012 and reflect certain other adjustments, including adjustments to exclude the effects of purchase accounting, merger transaction and integration costs, severance and post-employment benefits amortization. Pro forma adjusted results do not necessarily reflect what the underlying operational or financial performance of Dex Media would have been had the Dex One / SuperMedia transaction been consummated prior to January 1 2012.

(3)		Reorganization items represent charges that are directly associated with the process of reorganizing the business under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. These costs include a non-cash charge of $32 million to write off the unamortized debt fair value adjustment associated with Dex One’s senior secured credit facilities in the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

(4)		Gains on early extinguishments of debt represents the gains associated with the purchase of a portion of the Company’s debt below par value.

(5)		This pro forma adjustment represents the historical EBITDA results of SuperMedia that as a result of acquisition accounting, are not included in the U.S. GAAP results of Dex Media.

(6)		Merger transaction costs represent costs associated with completing the merger between Dex One and SuperMedia.

(7)		Merger integration costs represent costs incurred to achieve synergies related to the merger of Dex One and SuperMedia.

(8)		Severance costs are associated with headcount reductions.

(9)		This adjustment includes a credit to expense related to a deferred pretax gain associated with SuperMedia plan amendments to other post-employment benefits and amortization of unrecognized net losses related to other post-employment benefits which is included in SuperMedia historical results.

(10)		Operating Income (Loss) margin is calculated by dividing Operating Income (Loss) by Operating Revenue.

(11)		EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA by Operating Revenue.

(12)		Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA by Pro Forma Operating Revenue.

(13)		This pro forma adjustment represents the historical revenue results of SuperMedia that as a result of acquisition accounting, are not included in the U.S. GAAP results of Dex Media.

(14)		Pro Forma Adjusted Free Cash Flow is calculated by adding Dex Media free cash flow to the historical operating cash flow and additions to fixed assets and capitalized software of SuperMedia that, as a result of acquisition accounting are not included in Dex Media free cash flow before payments for merger transaction cost.
