D&E Communications, Inc. ("D&E" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: DECC), a leading provider of integrated communications services in central and eastern Pennsylvania, today announced the results of its operations for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2008.

For the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company reported a net loss of $7.8 million, or $0.54 per share, compared to a net income of $2.0 million, or $0.14 per share, for the same period last year. The operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $9.5 million, compared to operating income of $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Total operating revenue for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $37.5 million, compared to $38.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Results for the fourth quarter of 2008 included a non-cash intangible asset impairment of $19.6 million ($11.5 million, or $0.79 per share, after tax) on the Wireline franchise intangible assets as a result of an interim test for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets as of December 31, 2008. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded a reserve of $0.7 million ($0.4 million, or $0.03 per share, after tax) on a note receivable from the sale of assets in 2006.

The revenue decrease of $1.3 million for the fourth quarter 2008 was the result of decreases in Wireline and Systems Integration segment revenues of $1.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Operating income (loss) declined $13.6 million primarily as a result of the non-cash intangible asset impairment described above and a decline in operating revenue of $1.3 million, partially offset by a decline in Wireline depreciation expense of $0.9 million ($0.6 million, or $0.04 per share, after tax) primarily due to certain fixed assets becoming fully depreciated in June and July 2008, a decline in other operating expenses of $1.2 million and the effect of the fourth quarter 2007 non-cash goodwill impairment of $5.2 million ($4.7 million, or $0.32 per share, after tax) recognized in the Systems Integration segment.

The fourth quarter 2007 results included income of $4.6 million ($2.7 million, or $0.19 per common share, after tax) from the collection of the remaining outstanding principal on the note received from the sale of Conestoga Wireless assets in 2003, which was scheduled to be paid in monthly installments through June 1, 2009. The note receivable was fully reserved on our balance sheet. In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company recognized a reserve of $0.13 million ($0.1 million, or $0.01 per share, after tax) on the note receivable from the sale of assets in 2006. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2008 before the decline in depreciation expense and other items described above was $3.5 million, or $0.24 per share. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 before the items described above was $4.1 million, or $0.28 per share.

Total operating revenue for the full year 2008 was $149.5 million, compared to $152.6 million for the previous year. The revenue decrease of $3.1 million for the year 2008 was due to lower Wireline and Systems Integration segment revenues of $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, partially offset by an increase in Corporate and Other segment revenue of $0.2 million. The operating loss for 2008 was $10.9 million, compared to operating income of $24.6 million in 2007. The net loss for the year was $11.0 million, or $0.76 per share, compared to a net income of $10.6 million, or $0.74 per share, for 2007. Net income before certain one-time items described below was $11.6 million, or $0.80 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $11.6 million, or $0.81 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Results for the year 2008 included non-cash intangible asset impairments of $45.8 million ($26.8 million, or $1.85 per share, after tax) on the Wireline franchise intangible assets as a result of the completion of the Company's annual and interim tests for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets as of April 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The year 2008 results were also affected by income of $2.9 million ($1.7 million, or $0.12 per common share, after tax) from the termination of a lease guarantee, a decrease in depreciation expense in the Wireline segment of $4.7 million ($3.0 million, or $0.21 per share, after tax) primarily due to revisions in the estimated useful lives of certain fixed assets effective July 2007 and certain fixed assets becoming fully depreciated in the first and second quarters of 2007 and June and July of 2008, partially offset by the depreciation expense on additional fixed assets placed in service in the current year, and a reserve of $0.9 million ($0.5 million, or $0.04 per share, after tax) recognized on a note receivable from the sale of assets in 2006.

Results for the year 2007 included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $5.2 million ($4.7 million, or $0.32 per common share, after tax) described above, a gain of $0.6 million ($0.6 million, or $0.04 per share, after tax) from life insurance proceeds, income of $5.5 million ($3.2 million, or $0.22 per common share, after tax) from the collection of the remaining outstanding principal on the note received from the sale of Conestoga Wireless assets as described above and a reserve of $0.13 million ($0.1 million, or $0.01 per share, after tax) on the note receivable from the sale of assets in 2006.

"Our fourth quarter results were negatively affected by a non-cash franchise intangible asset impairment charge as well as an impairment on a note receivable from the sale of assets in 2006," stated James W. Morozzi, D&E's President and CEO. "The franchise intangible asset impairment was the result of our 2002 acquisition of Conestoga Enterprises Inc. and the value ascribed to the franchise intangible assets acquired as part of that transaction at that point in time. We have determined that the value of these franchise intangible assets needed to be reduced due to our lower estimates of future regulated cash flows from this entity."

Morozzi continued, "We also concluded that the value of a note receivable should be reduced due to the note payer's business experiencing a decline in light of the current economic turmoil. Operationally, these impairment charges had no impact on our cash flow from operations. For the full year 2008, we generated solid Adjusted EBITDA of $64.4 million. DSL/High-speed Internet Subscribers continued to grow, while RLEC access line loss was moderate. Our Systems Integration segment made great strides and reported positive Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2008 compared to a negative Adjusted EBITDA of $1.9 million in 2007."

On a segment by segment basis, the Company reported the following information:

Wireline

Fourth quarter 2008 revenues from the Wireline segment were $36.0 million, as compared to $37.2 million for the fourth quarter 2007. The decrease was due in large part to lower network access revenue of $1.6 million primarily due to a decline in NECA revenue and minutes of use, partially offset by increased DSL/High-speed Internet revenue of $0.4 million due to subscriber growth. Full-year 2008 revenue for the Wireline segment was $144.0 million compared to $145.7 million for 2007. The decrease was caused mainly by a reduction in network access revenue of $3.9 million primarily due to lower NECA revenue and minutes of use and a decline in directory revenue of $0.8 million. These decreases were partially offset by increased DSL/High-speed Internet revenue of $2.1 million due to subscriber growth and higher video, business continuity and co-location revenues of $0.6 million.

Wireline operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2008 were $45.2 million, compared to $27.3 million during the same period last year, with the increase caused primarily by the non-cash intangible asset impairment of $19.6 million. Depreciation expense decreased $0.9 million primarily due to certain fixed assets that became fully depreciated in June and July of 2008. Corporate overhead expenses decreased $0.6 million. Cost of services decreased $0.2 million due to a settlement reached with a vendor on estimated amounts owed to them.

Wireline operating expenses for the full year 2008 were $153.4 million, compared to $112.8 million during the same period last year, with the increase caused primarily by the non-cash intangible asset impairments of $45.8 million. Depreciation expense decreased approximately $4.7 million primarily due to revisions in the estimated useful lives of certain fixed assets to update composite depreciation rates for regulated telephone property and certain fixed assets that became fully depreciated in 2007 and 2008. All other Wireline expenses decreased $0.5 million.

The operating loss was $9.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to operating income of $9.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2007. For the year, the Wireline segment reported an operating loss of $9.4 million, down from operating income of $32.9 million in 2007, primarily due to the intangible asset impairments of $45.8 million, partially offset by the decline in depreciation expense of $4.7 million.

Systems Integration

System Integration revenues for the quarter were $1.1 million, compared to $1.2 million for the same period last year. The primary reason for the decline in revenues was lower computer product sales. For the year, Systems Integration segment revenue was $3.8 million, compared to $5.4 million in 2007. Computer products sold decreased $1.0 million and communication services revenue decreased $0.6 million primarily due to the expiration of a contract with a large retail services customer on March 31, 2007 resulting in lower revenue of $0.8 million.

Fourth quarter 2008 operating expenses were $1.0 million, compared to $6.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. The Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $5.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, which was the entire balance of goodwill of the Systems Integration segment. In addition, labor and benefits costs declined approximately $0.4 million. For the year 2008, operating expenses were $3.9 million, compared to $12.8 million in the previous year. Labor and benefits costs declined approximately $1.8 million and subcontractor costs declined $0.3 million due to the contract expiration and a reduction in the number of employees. The cost of computer products sold declined $0.9 million in conjunction with the decline in sales. In 2007, we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $5.2 million.

The operating income for the fourth quarter 2008 was $0.1 million compared to an operating loss of $5.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. The operating loss for 2008 was $0.1 million compared to an operating loss of $7.4 million in 2007 primarily due to the goodwill impairment of $5.2 million.

Adjusted EBITDA

We present the non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) measure Adjusted EBITDA (as defined herein) below and anticipate referring to this measure in the conference call referenced below. Presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is consistent with how we evaluate performance of our business segments and Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP operating measure under Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We compute Adjusted EBITDA by adding depreciation, amortization and goodwill and intangible asset impairments to operating income. Each of these GAAP financial measures is a line item in our income statement and thus Adjusted EBITDA can be reconciled to net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure to it. However, other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or a substitute for net income as an indicator of operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Net income (loss) is reconciled to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the three months and years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, in the following table:
