Other Business Metrics: As of March 31, 2013, Millennial Media reached over 420 million monthly unique users globally, including approximately 160 million monthly unique users in the United States alone. As of March 31, 2013, more than 42,000 apps were enabled by mobile app developers to operate on Millennial Media's platform, and there were more than 350 million proprietary, anonymous user profiles developed.

"We've gotten off to a solid start this year, with good growth and continued innovation," said Paul Palmieri, Millennial Media's President and CEO. "Usage of our platform continued to grow, with strong margins. We delivered a major new release of our SDKs, we closed on our acquisition in the programmatic mobile space, and we delivered financial performance consistent with or ahead of our prior guidance."

Outlook

Based on information available as of today, Millennial Media expects total revenue for the second quarter of 2013 to be in the range of $58 million to $60 million and adjusted EBITDA to be between a loss of $(0.5) million and $(1.5) million in the second quarter. For the full year 2013, Millennial Media reiterates its previous guidance that it expects revenue to be in the range of $270 million to $280 million and adjusted EBITDA to be between $17.0 million and $18.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), Millennial Media reports adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) per common share basic and diluted, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation and expenses related to acquisitions, such as costs for services of lawyers, investment bankers, accountants, and other third parties and accrual of retention payments that represent contingent compensation to be recognized as expense over a requisite service period. We define non-GAAP net income (loss) per common share as adjusted EBITDA divided by weighted average common shares outstanding. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these measures provide useful information about operating results, enhances the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results and guidance prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the table following the financial statements attached to this press release.
