DEX ONE 
By Dex One Corporation (NYSE: DEXO) today announced fourth quarter and full year 2012 results in line with previously provided guidance.
The quarter and year were highlighted by digital bookings growth of 29 percent and 34 percent, respectively.
Ad sales for the quarter and year declined 14 percent, in line with guidance. Quarterly bookings and revenue declined 13 percent and 14 percent, while annual bookings and revenue declined 13 percent and 12 percent.
"Dex One continued to deliver in 2012, as we met all stated guidance objectives," said Dex One CEO Alfred Mockett. "Our team found a way to achieve our business goals despite the continuing pressure on our print business. We have stemmed the rate of ad sales decline, thanks in large part to our bundled sales strategy, and are aggressively selling bundles across our business."
"Since early 2010, Dex One has retired $1.9 billion in debt and we have consistently met our financial obligations," said Dex One CFO Greg Freiberg. "Concurrently, we have built a digital business with growth exceeding industry averages."

Dex One-SuperMedia Merger Update
On March 13, 2013, stockholders of both Dex One and SuperMedia approved the merger. Earlier today, Dex One and SuperMedia each filed pre-packaged plans of reorganization for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy as a means to complete the merger. This process will allow both companies to finalize the proposed credit agreement amendments previously agreed to by a significant percentage of lenders. The companies expect to complete the merger in the first half of 2013.
2013 Guidance
The company will not be providing first quarter or full year 2013 guidance due to its pending merger with SuperMedia, Inc.
Additional Information
Important information regarding operating results and related reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures can be found in the schedules and related footnotes to this press release, which should be thoroughly reviewed. All figures are preliminary and subject to change pending the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Advertising sales is a non-GAAP statistical measure and consist of sales of advertising in print directories distributed during the period and Internet-based products and services with respect to which such advertising first appeared publicly during the period.
The year over year change in ad sales is calculated by dividing the difference between ad sales in the current period and adjusted ad sales in the prior year divided by adjusted ad sales in the prior year. The adjustments made to the prior year's ad sales are made to align publication dates.
Bookings is another non-GAAP statistical measure that represents sales activity associated with our print directories and Internet-based marketing solutions during the period. Bookings associated with our local customers represent signed contracts during the period. Bookings associated with our national customers represent what has been published or fulfilled during the period.
The year over year change in bookings is calculated by dividing the difference between bookings in the current period and bookings generated in the prior year divided by bookings generated in the prior year.
It is important to distinguish advertising sales and bookings from net revenue, which is recognized under the deferral and amortization method.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of operating performance computed in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) prepared in conformity with GAAP. In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are important indicators of our operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or related to, our core operating results, and provide a better baseline for analyzing our underlying business. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2012 is determined by adjusting EBITDA for (i) stock-based compensation expense and long-term incentive program and (ii) merger transaction and integration expenses associated with the proposed merger between Dex One and SuperMedia, Inc. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2011 is determined by adjusting EBITDA for stock-based compensation expense and long-term incentive program. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2012 is determined by adjusting EBITDA for (i) gain on Debt Repurchases, net, (ii) stock-based compensation expense and long-term incentive program and (iii) merger transaction and integration expenses associated with the proposed merger between Dex One and SuperMedia, Inc. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2011 is determined by adjusting EBITDA for (i) impairment charges, (ii) gain on sale of assets, net and (iii) stock-based compensation expense and long-term incentive program. | ||||||||||||||||

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NON-GAAP MEASURES | ||
(1) | Our advertising revenues are earned primarily from the sale of advertising in yellow pages directories we publish. Advertising revenues also include revenues from our Internet-based marketing solutions including online directories, such as DexKnows.com and Dex Net. Advertising revenues are affected by several factors, including changes in the quantity and size of advertisements, acquisition of new clients, renewal rates of existing clients, premium advertisements sold, changes in advertisement pricing, the introduction of new marketing solutions, an increase in competition and more fragmentation in the local business search market and general economic factors. Revenues with respect to print advertising and Internet-based marketing solutions that are sold with print advertising are recognized under the deferral and amortization method whereby revenues are initially deferred when a directory is published, net of sales claims and allowances, and recognized ratably over the directory's life, which is typically 12 months. Revenues with respect to Internet-based marketing solutions that are sold standalone, such as Dex Net, are recognized ratably over the life of the contract commencing when they are first delivered or fulfilled. Revenues with respect to our marketing solutions that are performance-based are recognized as the service is delivered or fulfilled. | |
(2) | The company evaluated the remaining useful lives of definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets during the first quarter of 2012. Based on our evaluation, we reduced the estimated useful lives of our directory services agreements, local and national customer relationships and tradenames and trademarks. As a result of reducing the estimated useful lives of these intangible assets, the company recognized an increase in amortization expense of $161.6 million in 2012. | |
(3) | The company concluded there were indicators of impairment as of May 31, 2011. As a result, we performed impairment tests of our goodwill, definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets as of May 31, 2011. The impairment testing results for recoverability of our definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets indicated they were recoverable and thus no impairment test was required as of May 31, 2011. Based upon the testing results of our goodwill, we determined that the remaining goodwill assigned to each of our reporting units was fully impaired and thus recognized an aggregate goodwill impairment charge of $801.1 million during the second quarter of 2011, which was recorded at each of our reporting units. | |
(4) | On April 19, 2012, the company utilized cash on hand of $26.5 million to repurchase $98.2 million aggregate principal amount of Dex One senior subordinated notes. On March 23, 2012, the Company utilized cash on hand of $69.5 million to repurchase loans under our credit facilities of $142.1 million. These debt transactions are hereby referred to as the "Debt Repurchases." The Debt Repurchases have been accounted for as an extinguishment of debt resulting in a non-cash, pre-tax gain of $139.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. | |
(5) | On February 14, 2011, we completed the sale of substantially all net assets of Business.com. As a result, we recognized a gain on sale of these assets of $13.4 million during the first quarter of 2011. | |
(6) | For the semi-annual interest periods ending September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the company made interest payments 50% in cash and 50% in paid-in-kind interest, as permitted by the indenture governing the Dex One senior subordinated notes, resulting in the issuance of an additional $17.9 million of Dex One senior subordinated notes. | |
(7) | The company's voluntary filing for Chapter 11 on March 18, 2013 triggered the acceleration of financial obligations under our Dex One senior subordinated notes and credit facilities. Although we believe that any efforts to enforce the acceleration of these financial obligations are stayed as a result of filing Chapter 11 in the bankruptcy court, we have classified our Dex One senior subordinated notes and credit facilities as current obligations on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012. | |
(8) | In conjunction with our adoption of fresh start accounting, an adjustment was established to record our outstanding debt at fair value on the Fresh Start Reporting Date. The Company was required to record our credit facilities at a discount as a result of their fair value on the Fresh Start Reporting Date. Therefore, the carrying amount of these debt obligations is lower than the principal amount due at maturity. This fair value adjustment is amortized as an increase to interest expense over the remaining term of the respective debt agreements and does not impact future scheduled interest or principal payments. The unamortized fair value adjustment resulting from fresh start accounting was $36.7 million at December 31, 2012. | |
(9) | Net debt represents total debt less cash and cash equivalents on the respective date. Net debt - eliminating fair value discount eliminates the fair value discount as a result of fresh start accounting described in Note 8 and represents principal amounts due at maturity. | |

Advertising sales is a non-GAAP statistical measure and consists
of sales of advertising in print directories distributed during
the period and Internet-based marketing solutions with respect to
which such advertising first appeared publicly during the period.
In order to calculate a percentage change over prior periods,
adjustments have been made to the prior year's advertising sales
in an attempt to create a same store sales metric. | |
