2011 Highlights: Debt reduced by $426 million during 2011 for a total reduction of over $1 billion since January 2010. Significant cost structure improvements.

SuperMedia (NASDAQ:SPMD) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2011.

"We believe we made good progress during 2011, as expense reduction initiatives drove adjusted EBITDA results of $602 million, reflecting improved EBITDA margin. Utilization of related cash flows and efforts to efficiently deleverage also allowed us to reduce our debt," said president and CEO Peter McDonald. "Initiatives in these areas continue into 2012.

"In addition, we recognize the small and medium businesses in our markets need a trusted marketing advisor to navigate the confusing proliferation of local media choices across search, mobile, social and traditional media. We are very focused on being that trusted marketing partner as we continue to work to improve our revenue trends with our new sales approach."

*2010 includes pro forma adjustments

SuperMedia reports financial results in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and on a non-GAAP basis, referred to as "adjusted and adjusted pro forma". Our non-GAAP basis measures are described and reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures in the accompanying financial schedules. These results were adjusted for certain unique costs including an impairment charge, reorganization items, severance costs, restructuring costs and certain other non-recurring costs and the impact of fresh start accounting in 2010.

EBITDA is determined by adjusting net income for interest, taxes, gain on early extinguishment of debt, reorganization items, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA by total operating revenue. Management believes that EBITDA and EBITDA margin are useful to investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating our operating performance. EBITDA and EBITDA margin are used internally to evaluate current operating expense efficiency and operating profitability by excluding interest, taxes, gain on early extinguishment of debt, reorganization, depreciation and amortization items. In addition, EBITDA is used internally for incentive compensation purposes.

¹Free cash flow is cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures (including capitalized software).

Fourth quarter (Q4) 2011 GAAP operating revenue was $384 million compared to $426 million in Q4 2010. Q4 2011 non-GAAP operating revenue of $384 million declined 17.9 percent compared to Q4 2010 non-GAAP adjusted pro forma operating revenue of $468 million (adjusted pro forma explanation see note below: "Basis of Presentation and Non-GAAP Financial Measures").

Full year 2011 GAAP operating revenue was $1,642 million compared to $1,176 million GAAP operating revenue for full year 2010. Full year non GAAP operating revenue of $1,642 million declined 18.0 percent compared to 2010 non-GAAP adjusted pro forma operating revenue of $2,002 million.

Q4 2011 EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $133 million compared to Q4 2010 EBITDA of $126 million. Q4 2011 EBITDA margin was 34.6 percent compared to Q4 2010 EBITDA margin of 29.6 percent. Q4 2011 adjusted EBITDA was $139 million compared to Q4 2010 adjusted pro forma EBITDA of $151 million, a decline of 7.9 percent. Q4 2011 adjusted EBITDA margin was 36.2 percent, a 390 basis point improvement, compared to Q4 2010 adjusted pro forma EBITDA margin of 32.3 percent.

Full year 2011 EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was a loss of $424 million, primarily due to the impairment charge of $1,003 million in the third quarter. Full year 2010 EBITDA was $90 million. Full year 2011 EBITDA margin was negative 25.8 percent compared to full year 2010 EBITDA margin of 7.7 percent.

Full year 2011 adjusted EBITDA margin was 36.7 percent, a 420 basis point improvement, compared to 2010 adjusted pro forma EBITDA margin of 32.5 percent.

Full year 2011 free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, was $225 million, representing cash provided by operating activities of $244 million, less capital expenditures (including capitalized software) of $19 million. Full year 2010 free cash flow was $464 million, representing cash provided by operating activities of $509 million, less capital expenditures (including capitalized software) of $45 million. Free cash flow in 2011 includes a tax payment of $72 million related to 2010 tax obligations and 2010 free cash flow includes a federal income tax refund of $94 million. Cash on hand as of December 31, 2011 was $90 million.

SuperMedia reduced its total debt obligation by $426 million in 2011. As of December 31, 2011, the total debt balance was $1,745 million, a reduction of over $1 billion in the last two years.

Basis of Presentation and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Upon emergence from bankruptcy on December 31, 2009, SuperMedia adopted fresh start accounting in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, SuperMedia's 2010 financial results were significantly affected. On December 31, 2009, the balances in deferred revenue and deferred directory costs were adjusted to their fair value of zero, which had a significant non-cash impact on 2010 consolidated statement of operations. Included in the 2011 and 2010 financial statements are adjustments made in order to provide investors with financial results more closely aligned to SuperMedia's internal measurement. Pro forma adjustments are transactions related to the fresh start accounting included in the 2010 financial statements. Adjustments and pro forma adjustments are utilized to assist in the comparability of the periods presented.

For the readers' convenience, the financial information accompanying this release provides a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP and adjusted pro forma non-GAAP results. SuperMedia 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, SuperMedia believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses that SuperMedia 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 SuperMedia's performance and SuperMedia believes that it is providing investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal measurement processes.

Notes:

⁽¹⁾ EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents earnings before interest, taxes, gain on early extinguishment of debt, reorganization items, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing EBITDA by operating revenue.

⁽²⁾ Operating income (loss) margin is calculated by dividing operating income (loss) by operating revenue.

⁽³⁾ Restructuring and other severance costs include costs associated with strategic organizational cost savings initiatives of $5 million and costs related to the termination of our former chief executive officer's employment of $4 million.

⁽⁴⁾Reorganization items represent charges that are directly associated with the process of reorganizing the business under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

⁽⁵⁾ As a result of the passage of the Health Care Reform Act in March of 2010, the future benefit of certain deferred tax assets was eliminated, resulting in a charge in the year ended December 31, 2010.

⁽⁶⁾ Gain on early extinguishment of debt represents the gain associated with the purchase of a portion of the Company's debt below par value.

⁽⁷⁾ Fresh start accounting items include adjustments for revenue and expense items that would have been otherwise amortized into the Company's statement of operations but were written off at December 31, 2009 according to the rules of fresh start accounting.

⁽⁸⁾ Results include a $40 million general and administrative expense reduction related to the favorable non-recurring, non-cash resolution of state operating tax claims.

Notes:

(1) Net advertising sales is an operating measure used by the Company to compare advertising sales for current advertising periods to corresponding sales for previous periods. It is important to distinguish net advertising sales from operating revenue, which on our financial statements is recognized under the deferral and amortization method.

(2) Advertising sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 include negative adjustments of $11 million or 0.6 percent related to the financial distress and operational wind down of a single certified marketing representative in our third-party national sales channel. Excluding this impact, advertising sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 would have reflected a decline of 16.2 percent. As of June 2011, these accounts have been transitioned to other certified marketing representative firms.
