ALOY Alloy (MM)

Alloy, Inc. (the �Company�) (NASDAQ: ALOY), one of the country�s largest providers of media and marketing programs reaching targeted consumer segments, today reported financial results for its full fiscal year ended and fourth quarter ended January 31, 2008. Results for Fiscal 2007 Revenue in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 (�fiscal 2007�) increased $3.0 million, or 2%, to $199.1 million from $196.1 million in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2007 (�fiscal 2006�). Adjusted EBITDA, defined as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, special charges and non-cash stock-based compensation, for fiscal 2007 was $10.4 million, compared with $19.0 million for fiscal 2006, a decrease of $8.6 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower profitability in the Media segment related to the Channel One acquisition and reduced display board business. Commenting on Alloy�s performance and outlook, Matt Diamond, the Company�s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, �Alloy took critical steps in fiscal 2007 to drive growth of our high margin Media segment. Specifically, we acquired and integrated Channel One and Frontline, expanded our Teen.com interactive advertising network and raised the creative presence of our Alloy Entertainment business. These strategic initiatives, together with a strong book of contracted business with AMP Agency, which is part of our Promotions segment, support our expectation of substantial revenue and earnings growth in fiscal 2008.� Fiscal 2007 free cash flow, defined as net income (loss) before extraordinary items plus depreciation and amortization, special charges, stock-based compensation, debt conversion expense and amortization of deferred financing costs less capital expenditures, decreased approximately $21.6 million to $(6.7) million, or $(0.50) per diluted share, compared with $14.9 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, in fiscal 2006. The decrease was primarily due to higher capital expenditures for upgrades to Channel One�s infrastructure as discussed in previous earnings releases and net cash used in operating assets and liabilities. Operating income decreased approximately $82.8 million to a loss of $70.1 million in fiscal 2007, from income of $12.7 million in fiscal 2006. This decrease is primarily due to a non-cash goodwill and a long-lived asset impairment charge of $71.6 million in the Company�s Media ($48.8 million) and Placement ($22.8 million) segments and lower Adjusted EBITDA. The Company is required to evaluate, at least annually, its goodwill and other long-lived assets for impairments. These impairments are included as part of special charges. In fiscal 2006, the Company recorded a $17.9 million expense related to the conversion of $67.9 million of its convertible debentures. There was no debt conversion expense recorded in fiscal 2007. Fiscal 2007 interest expense decreased $2.8 million, to $0.1 million from $2.9 million in fiscal 2006, primarily due to the conversion of convertible debentures to the Company�s common stock during fiscal 2006. Income tax expense decreased approximately $0.2 million, to $0.5 million in fiscal 2007, from $0.7 in fiscal 2006 as a result of lower state income tax. During fiscal 2007, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of $5.7 million, net of tax, related to its acquisition of the operating assets of Channel One, as a result of liabilities being lower than initially estimated. Net loss increased $57.2 million to $64.4 million, or $(4.82) per basic share for fiscal 2007, from a net loss of $7.2 million, or $(0.58) per basic share for fiscal 2006, primarily due to higher special charges which were partially offset by the extraordinary gain during fiscal 2007 and the absence of debt conversion expense. Fiscal 2008 Outlook The Company is reaffirming its fiscal year ending January�31, 2009 (�fiscal 2008�) guidance, projecting revenue to be in the range of $225.0 million to $240.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $20.0 million to $24.0 million. The projections are based on a full year of results from Frontline, a successful transition of the Channel One business and improved sales efforts in the Company�s Promotion and Media segments. Stock Repurchase Program During fiscal 2007, under the Company�s stock repurchase plan, the Company spent approximately $0.5 million repurchasing its common stock in the open market. The Company will continue to monitor market conditions and repurchase shares from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions. Results for the Fourth Quarter Ended January�31, 2008 Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 was $43.1 million compared with $40.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, an increase of $2.2 million. The increase was primarily due to higher revenue in the Media segment. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased $2.7 million, or 91%, to $0.3 million from $3.0 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2006. The decrease was primarily due to lower profitability in the Promotion and Placement segments. Free cash flow in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 was approximately $(8.6) million, or $(0.64) per diluted share, compared with $2.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. This decrease was primarily due to higher capital expenditures for upgrades to Channel One�s infrastructure and the impact of lower Adjusted EBITDA. Operating loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 was $73.8 million, compared to operating income of $1.4 million in fiscal 2006. This decrease was primarily due to lower profitability in the Media and Placement segments due to a non-cash goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charge of $71.6 million. Debt conversion expense was $2.1 million in fiscal 2006. There was no debt conversion expense recorded in fiscal 2007. Interest expense increased less than $0.1 million from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, due to the conversion of the Company�s convertible debentures to common stock in fiscal 2006. Income tax expense decreased approximately $0.6 million, to a benefit of $0.3 million, from $0.3 million in fiscal 2006. The amount expensed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 was due to lower state income tax. Net loss increased $72.9 million, to $73.6 million, or $(5.44) per basic share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, from a net loss of $0.7 million, or $(0.05) per basic share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The net loss increase was primarily due to lower Adjusted EBITDA, higher special charges partially offset by the absence of debt conversion expense and the extraordinary gain during fiscal 2007.

The decrease was primarily due to revenue decreases in the Company�s AMP Agency and sampling businesses, offset by an increase in revenue in the Company�s on-campus marketing business. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 52%, primarily due to lower profitability in the Company�s sampling and AMP Agency businesses. Operating income decreased $1.5 million, to $1.0 million, from $2.5 million primarily due to lower Adjusted EBITDA. Media segment revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2008 was $16,699, an increase of $5,934 or 55 % from revenues of $10,765 for the three months ended January 31, 2007. The fiscal 2007 acquisitions of Channel One and Frontline contributed to the increase as well as increases in the Company�s entertainment business. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 26% primarily due to increased spending to upgrade the interactive properties infrastructure and lower profitability in the Company�s display board business. Operating income decreased $50.0 million to a loss of $49.0 million, from $1.0 million, due to higher special charges, lower Adjusted EBITDA and increased depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation.

The decrease was primarily due to decreases in multicultural and college newspaper revenues. Adjusted EBITDA decreased primarily due to the impact of lower revenue and higher selling expenses. Operating income decreased $23.6 million, to a loss of $22.8 million, from $0.8 million primarily due to higher special charges and lower Adjusted EBITDA. Corporate Adjusted EBITDA increased 6% to $(2.4) million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, from $(2.5) million in the prior year�s fourth fiscal quarter, primarily due to lower medical benefit costs. Operating loss decreased 2%, primarily as a result of higher Adjusted EBITDA.

ALLOY, INC. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Unaudited; in millions) A. Adjusted EBITDA The following tables set forth the Company�s Adjusted EBITDA for the three-month periods and years ended January�31, 2008 and 2007 respectively. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the following line items and amounts presented in its Statements of Operations: extraordinary gain, income taxes, interest income and other, interest expense, debt conversion expense, depreciation and amortization, special charges, and stock-based compensation. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, among other things, to evaluate the Company�s operating performance and to value prospective acquisitions. The measure is also one of several components of incentive compensation targets for certain management personnel and is among the primary measures used by management for planning and forecasting future periods. The Company believes that this measure is an important indicator of the Company�s operational strength and performance of its business, because it provides a link between profitability and operating cash flow. The Company believes the presentation of this measure is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by the Company�s management, helps improve investors� ability to understand the Company�s operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Company�s results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. In addition, this measure is also among the primary measures used externally by the Company�s investors, analysts and peers in its industry for purposes of valuation and comparing the operating performance of the Company to other companies in the industry. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (�GAAP�), it should not be considered in isolation from, nor as a substitute for, net income as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, as the Company calculates it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, this measure does not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and is not necessarily a measure of the Company�s ability to fund its cash needs. As Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain financial information compared to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions that are excluded. As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company provides below a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and operating income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA by segment.

Free Cash Flow Free cash flow is defined by the Company as net income (loss) before extraordinary items plus depreciation and amortization, special charges, stock-based compensation, debt conversion expense and amortization of deferred financing costs less capital expenditures. The Company uses free cash flow, among other measures, to evaluate its operating performance. Management believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the Company�s cash available to service debt and the Company�s ability to make strategic acquisitions and investments, maintain its capital assets, repurchase its common stock and fund ongoing operations. As a result, free cash flow is a significant measure of the Company�s ability to generate long-term value. The Company believes the presentation of free cash flow is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by management. In addition, free cash flow is also a primary measure used externally by the Company�s investors, analysts and peers in its industry for purposes of valuation and comparing the operating performance of the Company to other companies in its industry. Free cash flow per weighted average shares outstanding is defined by the Company as free cash flow divided by the weighted average shares outstanding used in the computation of net income (loss) per share. As free cash flow is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, free cash flow should not be considered in isolation from, nor as a substitute for, net income as an indicator of operating performance or net cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Free cash flow, as the Company calculates it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, free cash flow does not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and is not necessarily a measure of operating cash flow to remove the impact of cash flow timing differences to arrive at a measure which the Company believes more accurately reflects funds available for discretionary use. Specifically, the Company adjusts operating cash flow (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) for capital expenditures, non-recurring expenditures and certain other non-cash items in addition to removing the impact of sources and or uses of cash resulting from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Accordingly, users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions which are not reflected in this financial measure. The Company provides below a reconciliation of net cash flow provided by operating activities, a GAAP measure, to free cash flow.
