Outlook

Millennial Media will discuss its combined guidance on its earnings call this afternoon and it is summarized in a presentation available on the Investor Relations page of the Millennial Media website at http://investors.millennialmedia.com.

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 diluted 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.
