    Harris Corporation Fourth Quarter Revenue Grows 19%; Net Income Increases 39%; Non-GAAP Net Income Increases 30%Strong New Orders Momentum Entering Fiscal Year 2009

    MELBOURNE, Fla., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation reported that revenue in its fiscal fourth quarter ended June 27, 2008, increased 19 percent to $1.4 billion, compared to $1.2 billion in the prior-year quarter. Organic revenue increased 12 percent. Orders in the fourth quarter were significantly higher than revenue.

    GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was $122 million, or $.90 per diluted share, compared to $88 million, or $.63 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was $128 million, or $.95 per diluted share, compared to $99 million, or $.71 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter, an increase of 34 percent. Non-GAAP net income in fiscal 2008 excludes acquisition-related costs. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in Tables 5 through 8 along with the accompanying notes.

    Full-year revenue in fiscal 2008 was $5.3 billion, a 25 percent increase compared to $4.2 billion in the prior year. Organic revenue increased 13 percent, and new orders were significantly higher than revenue. GAAP net income in fiscal 2008 was $444 million, or $3.26 per diluted share, compared to $480 million, or $3.43 per diluted share, in the prior year. Non-GAAP net income in fiscal 2008, which excludes acquisition-related costs, was $462 million, or $3.39 per diluted share, an 18 percent increase compared to non-GAAP net income in fiscal 2007 of $391 million, or $2.80 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income in fiscal 2007 excludes charges associated with cost-reduction actions, asset impairments, acquisition costs and the significant gain associated with the Harris Stratex Networks combination.

    "Harris achieved excellent financial results, notwithstanding the unexpected higher costs and accounting errors in the fourth quarter at Harris Stratex Networks. We continued to deliver double-digit organic revenue growth, and orders were significantly higher than revenue," said Howard L. Lance, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Revenue increased in all four operating segments during the fourth quarter, on both a year-over-year and sequential basis. New orders combined with a robust pipeline of opportunities in the markets we serve are giving us confidence that fiscal 2009 will be another year of strong financial performance. To ensure margin expansion, cost-reduction actions have been initiated to better align resources to support faster-growing, higher-margin market opportunities."

    Defense Communications and Electronics

    The Defense Communications and Electronics segment -- comprised of the RF Communications Division and Defense Programs -- continued its strong momentum of revenue and earnings growth. Fourth quarter revenue of $567 million was 22 percent higher than the prior-year quarter and sequentially was 12 percent higher than the third quarter. Operating income for the quarter increased 29 percent to $170 million, compared to the prior-year quarter, and operating margin was 30 percent.

    RF Communications. Fourth quarter revenue in the RF Communications Division was $441 million, increasing 36 percent compared to $326 million in the prior-year quarter. RF Communications also posted another strong quarter of sequential revenue growth with revenue increasing 13 percent compared to the third quarter. Strong market demand and customer preference in both U.S. and international markets is continuing for Harris Falcon(R) tactical radios. This continuing success was highlighted by the diverse group of international customer shipments in the quarter, including Pakistan, Algeria, Georgia, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, the Bahamas, Estonia, Ethiopia, Honduras, Macedonia, Nicaragua, Romania and the United Kingdom.

    Worldwide demand for Harris software-defined tactical radios continues to be driven by multiple factors, including modernization programs, force expansion, force restructuring, interoperability requirements, and requirements for network-centric communications. Customer priorities continue to evolve across the defense, homeland security, public safety and peacekeeping landscape. Their communications systems need to be versatile and adaptable in order to be effective in multiple operating environments and missions. Demand will continue to increase for network-centric communications systems that can significantly improve situational awareness and force effectiveness through communications superiority. Harris Falcon radios embrace these changing mission priorities and offer superior multimission performance.

    RF Communications orders in the fourth quarter included:

    -- $118 million contract from the U.S. Marine Corps for Falcon II(R) multiband manpack radios as part of a $350 million Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to transition from legacy single-band radios to multiband, multimission software-defined radios;

    -- $43 million order from a Latin American country for Falcon II HF radios;

    -- $42 million order from the U.S. Army for 1,400 Falcon II vehicular adapter systems -- including power amplifiers, filters, antenna systems, and other installation components -- for installation of Falcon II manpack radios in MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicles;

    -- $18 million order for Falcon II HF radios to modernize and support communications networks for the Iraq Ministry of Defense;

    -- $16 million order for Bowman HF tactical radios from the United Kingdom; and

    -- $15 million contract from the Polish Ministry of National Defense for Falcon II manpack radios and vehicular installations for the Combat Net Radio program of the Polish Armed Forces.

    Total orders in the RF Communications Division for fiscal 2008 were approximately $1.7 billion and were significantly higher than full-year revenue. Backlog in the business at year-end was about $1 billion, 23 percent higher than at the end of fiscal 2007.

    In July, the new Falcon III(R) AN/PRC-117G multiband, multimission manpack radio became the first manpack radio with wideband networking capability to be certified by the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Joint Program Executive Office (JPEO). The radio had previously received Type-1 security certification from the National Security Agency (NSA). The radio provides secure IP data transmission at on-air rates up to 5 megabits per second, mobile ad-hoc networking, and automated network establishment and maintenance. The radio also provides networked voice, data and video communications and true battlefield situational awareness to military and peace-keeping forces on the move. The radio has full interoperability with currently fielded legacy radios such as SINCGARS. Harris already has received initial orders for the new Falcon III manpack from a number of Department of Defense (DoD) and other U.S. Government customers.

    Following the close of the quarter, RF Communications introduced the Unity(TM) XG-100 land mobile radio, the newest product in a family of multiband, software-defined radios that will give federal, state and local public safety responders the ability to communicate using a single radio across multiple frequencies with virtually any agency responding to an emergency. The Unity(TM) XG-100 expands on the capabilities of the RF-1033M, the first Harris land mobile radio introduced earlier this year, and extends the covered frequency range to include the 700/800 MHz bands.

    Defense Programs. Defense Programs revenue declined 7 percent compared to the prior-year quarter. The prior-year quarter benefited from higher levels of production on the F/A-18 and F-22A aircraft programs. In the fourth quarter, DoD programs with higher revenue included the LMST (Lightweight Multiband Satellite Terminal) program for the U.S. Marine Corps, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program, and the next-generation U.S. Air Force Global Positioning System (GPS) control segment. Revenue declined in the fourth quarter from the JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munitions) program as it neared completion.

    Significant Defense Programs awards in the fourth quarter included two separate contracts totaling $162 million to provide multiband SATCOM terminals for various U.S. Navy ships. Harris also secured several follow-on contracts for avionics systems for the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter aircraft, as well as anti-scintillation modems and the In-Flight Interceptor Communications System (IFICS) for the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA).

    Government Communications Systems

    The Government Communications Systems segment -- comprised of Civil Programs, National Intelligence Programs, and IT Services -- reported fourth quarter revenue of $512 million, an increase of 24 percent compared to the prior-year quarter. Operating income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 increased 57 percent to $52 million, compared to $33 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating margin was a strong 10.2 percent.

    The strong rebound in operating performance was primarily the result of the company's progress made over the last several months in implementing new designs in several commercial satellite reflector programs. Of the 10 commercial reflectors that are in various stages of design, assembly, test and delivery, four have now been completed and the first has been successfully deployed in space. A fifth reflector was nearing completion when it sustained accidental damage. As a result of the company's maintenance of insurance policies covering accidental damage and related costs, any financial impact associated with the accident is not expected to be material.

    Organic revenue increased 6 percent in the fourth quarter, compared to the prior-year quarter, driven by the NETCENTS IT integration and services program for the U.S. Air Force, the Navy/ Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) program, the Field Data Collection Automation (FDCA) program for the U.S. Census Bureau, the Global Geospatial Intelligence (GGI) program for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), and the Network Space Operations and Maintenance (NSOM) program for the Air Force 50th Space Wing.

    Key Government Communications Systems contract awards in the fourth quarter included several new classified programs with a combined value of $113 million, a $58 million contract for a new NASA space suit communications system, and a $20 million IT services contract for a next-generation Tactical Video Capture System (TVCS) that will support training at various U.S. Marine Corps locations across the U.S. and abroad.

    Harris also was awarded its second contract in a new market for the company -- Healthcare IT. Under a $12 million contract for the U.S. Army Dental Command Information Management & Technology Division, Harris will provide local operations and support to the U.S. Army Dental Command at Ft. Sam Houston, Texas, and other Army dental clinics at locations around the world.

    Broadcast Communications

    Fourth-quarter revenue in the Broadcast Communications segment was $174 million, a 5 percent increase compared to the prior-year quarter. Orders were higher than revenue. Sales of transmission equipment increased at double-digit rates due to strong shipments in the U.S. market for the over-the-air digital transmission build-out. Video infrastructure equipment sales, including routers, master control, test and measurement, and multiviewers, continued to increase at strong double-digit rates driven by the continuing global conversion by media organizations to digital and HD (high-definition) operations. Sales of server equipment declined compared to an unusually strong prior-year quarter. The continuing product transition to new traffic and billing software platforms in North American and international markets dampened sales of legacy software products.

    GAAP and non-GAAP operating income was $8 million, flat with the prior-year quarter GAAP operating income. Non-GAAP operating income in the prior-year quarter was $12 million, excluding expenses related to cost-reduction actions in the transmission and software areas of the business. Operating expenses in the quarter increased for R&D and marketing. Increased investment is being directed at expansion in higher-growth, higher-margin product areas and growing international markets such as the Middle East, Asia Pacific, Europe and Latin America.

    Sequentially, operating performance improved, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Revenue was 10 percent higher, while operating income was 14 percent higher despite increased marketing expenses related to annual fourth quarter trade shows. Following the end of the quarter, cost-reduction actions including additional headcount reductions were initiated to further improve operating performance.

    During the fourth quarter, the Harris ONE(TM) solution, which improves workflow solutions across the entire broadcast delivery value chain, continued to gain traction in both domestic and international markets. Harris received a significant order from Sezmi, a new entertainment services company that is combining traditional TV content, movies and Internet video in a single easy-to-use product. Harris is providing Sezmi with traffic and scheduling systems and a multichannel playout and nationwide distribution system, including video encoding, video servers, multiviewers, routers, test and measurement systems and signal processing equipment. Additionally, Harris will distribute content and provide network and IT managed services utilizing its network operations center (NOC) in Melbourne, Florida.

    Harris received a significant order in the quarter from Special Broadcasting Service (SBS), Australia's multicultural and multilingual public broadcaster, to supply a Harris ONE(TM) solution for the comprehensive rebuild of SBS' facility in Sydney to HD operations. Other Harris ONE(TM) solution orders received during the quarter included Showtime Arabia, a leading Pay TV network in the Middle East, GSEN, the new radio and TV Gaming Sports Entertainment Network in Las Vegas, The Advance Broadcast Corporation, the largest cable TV company in Thailand, and Kalaignar TV India. Other key orders came from CBS Television for HD video servers, CTV, a leading broadcaster in Canada, for multiple HD conversion systems, the National Basketball Association for NetVX encoders to backhaul live HD feeds to 29 arenas, and Cimax International in China and the Botswana Government Department of Information and Broadcasting, both for radio transmitters.

    Harris Stratex Networks, Inc.

    Harris Stratex Networks revenue for the fourth quarter is expected to be $187 million, a 7 percent increase compared to $174 million in the prior-year quarter. Revenue is expected to increase 5 percent compared to sequential third quarter revenue of $178 million. Harris Stratex Networks is a 56 percent majority-owned subsidiary of Harris.

    Revenue drivers continue to be the transition to IP networks, the evolution to 4G technologies, and wireless network infrastructure expansion in emerging regions. The company achieved record booking levels in the fourth quarter with a 1.6 to 1 book-to-bill ratio, which is expected to contribute to revenue generation in fiscal 2009. Increased orders came from Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Russia as well as North America. Demand for its Eclipse(TM) product line was particularly strong when compared with prior periods.

    Segment GAAP operating loss in the fourth quarter is expected to be $36 million. Non-GAAP operating loss is expected to be $19 million and excludes integration costs of $17 million associated with the Harris Stratex Networks combination. The non-GAAP operating loss resulted from unexpected operating cost increases and accounting errors related to prior periods totaling $32 million.

    Outlook

    Harris reconfirmed its earnings guidance for fiscal 2009 in a range of $4.05 to $4.15 per diluted share. Fiscal 2009 earnings guidance represents a year-over-year increase of 19 to 22 percent, compared to non-GAAP earnings in fiscal 2008. Revenue in fiscal 2009 is expected to increase by about 8-10 percent compared to fiscal 2008. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in Table 7 along with the accompanying notes.

    To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we provide additional measures of segments' operating income (loss), non-operating income (loss); cost of product sales and services; engineering, selling and administrative expenses; income before income taxes and minority interest; income taxes; minority interest; net income; and net income per diluted share adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses. Harris management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. Harris management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze Harris business trends and to understand Harris performance. In addition, Harris may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as a guide in its forecasting, budgeting, and long-term planning process and to measure operating performance for some management compensation purposes. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be used only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP follows:

    FIS Announces Second Quarter ResultsTransaction Processing Revenue Increases 26.6%Strong Organic Revenue Growth of 6.6%

    JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. , a leading global provider of technology services to financial institutions, today announced consolidated financial results for the second quarter of 2008.

    Consolidated revenue increased 19.0% to $1.3 billion, including approximately $137.2 million in revenue from eFunds, which FIS acquired in September 2007. Excluding eFunds, consolidated revenue increased 6.8% over the comparable 2007 quarter, driven by 8.2% growth in the Lender Processing Services segment and 6.6% growth in Transaction Processing Services segment. GAAP net earnings totaled $71.9 million, and net earnings from continuing operations totaled $0.38 per diluted share.

    Adjusted EBITDA increased 13.0% to $331.5 million compared to $293.3 million in the second quarter of 2007. The EBITDA margin was 24.8% compared to 26.1% in the prior-year quarter. Margins were negatively impacted by revenue mix, declines in certain mortgage origination services and higher corporate expense. Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations totaled $0.66 per diluted share compared to $0.57 per diluted share in the prior year, an increase of 15.8%.

    "FIS delivered solid revenue and earnings growth, despite continued economic volatility," stated William P. Foley, II, executive chairman of FIS. "The strong performance by both businesses demonstrates the strength of our operating models and the advantages that come from diverse revenue streams and a broadly distributed customer base."

    FIS' operating results are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and on an adjusted pro forma basis, which management believes provides more meaningful comparisons between the periods presented. The adjusted results exclude the after-tax impact of merger and acquisition and integration expenses, certain stock compensation charges, debt restructuring and other charges, gains (losses) on the sale of certain non-strategic assets and acquisition related amortization.

    Divestitures and Discontinued Operations

    During the first half of 2008, FIS completed the sale of two non-strategic businesses, FIS Credit Services and Certegy Gaming Services. The company also exited a small operation that provided services to the residential homebuilding market. Information pertaining to historical revenue and earnings per diluted share is provided in the attachments to the company's first quarter 2008 press release dated April 22, 2008, which is posted on FIS' website http://www.fidelityinfoservices.com/ .

    On July 2, 2008, FIS successfully completed the spin-off of Lender Processing Services, Inc., and on July 14, 2008, the company announced that it reached an agreement to sell the operating assets of Certegy Australia, Ltd. FIS anticipates reporting both businesses as discontinued operations beginning in the third quarter of 2008. For comparative purposes, Exhibit F of this press release presents the operating results of LPS as discontinued operations, consistent with the manner in which FIS expects to report results in future periods.

    Segment Information

    The following discussion, together with Exhibits A through E of the press release, provides information for the Transaction Processing Services segment and the Lender Processing Services segment as historically reported by FIS. Exhibit F of this press release recasts results for FIS (stand-alone TPS) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 in a manner consistent with future reporting periods. Lender Processing Services, Inc. has provided additional segment information in a separate press release dated August 5, 2008. Both companies distributed information regarding previously reported periods in separate Form 8-K filings on August 1, 2008.

    Transaction Processing Services (TPS), which provides core processing and payment technology solutions to financial institutions, generated revenue of $867.2 million in the quarter (including $137.2 million from eFunds) compared to $684.8 million in the prior-year period, an increase of 26.6%.

    Excluding eFunds, TPS revenue increased 6.6% to $730.0 million driven by strong growth in International, which rose 34.2% to $192.3 million, and Integrated Financial Solutions which increased 4.5% to $310.6 million. Termination fees totaled $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $10.6 million in the second quarter of 2007. Excluding eFunds and termination fees, TPS revenue increased 8.0%.

    The strong performance in International was fueled by growth in core bank processing and related services, the company's Brazilian card processing joint venture and favorable currency rates. IFS reported solid growth, despite the previously referenced $9.0 million reduction in termination fees. Excluding the impact of these fees from both years, IFS revenue increased 7.9% compared to the prior-year quarter.

    Enterprise Solutions revenue, excluding eFunds, totaled $227.4 million reflecting a 7.3% decline compared to the prior-year quarter revenue of $245.2 million. The decrease is primarily attributable to a significant customer implementation which generated revenue of $11.2 million in the prior-year quarter, as previously referenced by the company. Revenue in the company's retail check risk management business declined $6.1 million from the prior year quarter and also adversely impacted Enterprise Solutions' comparative growth rate.

    Transaction Processing Services adjusted EBITDA increased 26.0% to $216.1 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin was 24.9% compared to 25.1% in second quarter of 2007, and increased sequentially over the 23.6% margin realized in the first quarter of 2008.

    The Lender Processing Services segment (LPS), which provides integrated technology and services to the mortgage industry, generated revenue of $471.8 million, or 8.2% above the prior-year period, driven primarily by continued strong growth in default services. Lender Processing Services' adjusted EBITDA increased 5.7% to $150.9 million, and the adjusted EBITDA margin was 32.0% compared to 32.9% in the prior-year quarter.

    Consolidated corporate expense, as adjusted, increased $11.7 million to $39.3 million in the second quarter of 2008, primarily due to higher incentive compensation accruals and stock option expense. FIS' consolidated effective tax rate was 35.4% in the second quarter and 36.0% for the first six months of 2008.

    Update on Review of Strategic Initiatives

    On August 2, 2007, FIS announced a plan to review strategic alternatives for its retail check risk management business. Subsequently, on April 24, 2008, FIS announced the sale of Certegy Gaming Services, Inc., which was a part of that business. On July 14, 2008, FIS announced the sale of the operating assets of Certegy Australia, which was also a part of the check risk management business. Upon further review, FIS has determined that it will not pursue the sale of the remaining point-of-sale check risk management business at this time.

    Outlook

    FIS (on a post-spin basis) reported adjusted net earnings of $0.28 per diluted share and $0.36 per diluted share in the first and second quarters of 2008, respectively. Due to a lower than expected effective tax rate, the company anticipates full year 2008 adjusted net earnings to approximate $1.51 to $1.57 per diluted share, compared to previous guidance of $1.48 to $1.54 per diluted share based on an expected tax rate of 35.0% in the second half of the year. This compares to adjusted net earnings of $1.23 per diluted share in 2007 as presented at the company's May 28, 2008, investor meeting. The $1.23 per diluted share in 2007 reconciles to $0.99 per diluted share when accounting for LPS as a discontinued operation, as presented in Exhibit B of the Form 8-K filed on August 1, 2008.

    Lender Processing Services, Inc. provided full year earnings guidance in a separate press release dated August 5, 2008.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

    FIS reports several non-GAAP measures, including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and adjusted net earnings. The adjusted results exclude the after-tax impact of merger and acquisition and integration expenses, certain stock compensation charges, debt restructuring and other costs, gains (losses) on the sale of certain non-strategic assets and acquisition related amortization. Any non-GAAP measures should be considered in context with the GAAP financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP net earnings. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to related GAAP measures is included in the attachments to this release.

    On July 2, 2008, FIS completed the spin-off of Lender Processing Services, Inc. ("LPS"). Since the Completion of the spin-off occurred subsequent to the reporting period ended June 30, 2008, generally accepted accounting principals do not allow presentation of LPS as a discontinued operation until FIS presents operating results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008.

    Because of these requirements and desire to furnish additional information to investors to improve the understanding of the Company's operating performance, management is separately furnishing information which reflects the operations of LPS as a discontinued operation.

    The purpose of the schedule below is to recast the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 in a manner consistent with how FIS will report results beginning in the third quarter of 2008. These schedules report the operating results of LPS, and other smaller operations which we have exited, as discontinued operations. Revenues and expenses associated with LPS and other disposed entities are presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of earnings. Discontinued operations are reflected separately, net of tax, below net earnings from continuing operations.

    HLTH Corporation Announces Second Quarter Financial Results

    ELMWOOD PARK, N.J., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- HLTH Corporation today announced financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

    Martin J. Wygod, Chairman and Acting Chief Executive Officer of HLTH Corporation, said: "We firmly believe that the size and breadth of the overall market opportunity remains unchanged. With its unique set of assets and industry leadership, WebMD is well positioned to capitalize on the shift to online marketing and education to both consumers as well as physicians both here in the U.S. and abroad."

    Consolidated Financial Highlights

    Revenue for the second quarter was $89.1 million, an increase of 15% over the prior year. Earnings before interest, taxes, non-cash and other items ("Adjusted EBITDA") for the second quarter was $14.3 million, an increase of 66% over the prior year. Income from continuing operations for the second quarter was $0.8 million or $0.00 per share, loss from discontinued operations was $3.7 million or $0.02 per share and net loss was $2.9 million or $0.02 per share.

    At June 30, 2008, HLTH had approximately $1.4 billion in cash and investments, of which $325 million is attributable to WebMD.

    Segment Operating Results

    WebMD Online Services segment revenue was $84.6 million for the second quarter compared to $72.9 million in the prior year period, an increase of 16%. Advertising and sponsorship revenue increased 19% to $62.4 million. Private portal licensing revenue increased 10% to $21.9 million. Online Services segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 34% to $18.8 million compared to $14.0 million in the prior year period.

    WebMD Publishing and Other Services segment revenue was $4.6 million for the second quarter compared to $4.4 million in the prior year period, an increase of 5%. Publishing and Other Services segment Adjusted EBITDA was $1.0 million compared to $0.86 million in the prior year period.

    Discontinued Operations

    HLTH's financial results present the ViPS and Porex businesses as discontinued operations in the current and prior year periods, reflecting the decision to divest these businesses. The sale of the ViPS business was completed on July 22, 2008 for $225 million in cash. WebMD's offline professional medical reference and textbook publication business is presented as a discontinued operation in the prior year period, reflecting the sale of that business on December 31, 2007.

    Discontinued operations during the quarter included the results of operations of ViPS and Porex as well as an additional pre-tax charge of $17 million relating to HLTH's obligation to advance the legal costs of certain former officers of the Practice Services subsidiary which HLTH sold in 2006. As of June 30, 2008, this accrual totaled $58 million. As previously reported, several insurance carriers who had issued D&O insurance to HLTH have refused to advance these costs and HLTH commenced an action against these carriers to enforce its rights. On July 31, 2008 the Superior Court for the State of Delaware granted HLTH's motion for partial summary judgment to enforce the duty of such carriers to advance and reimburse these costs.

    Merger with WebMD

    As previously announced, HLTH and WebMD entered into a definitive merger agreement on February 20, 2008. Completion of the merger is conditioned upon, among other things, approval of the stockholders of both HLTH and WebMD. HLTH and WebMD expect to file a joint preliminary proxy statement/prospectus relating to the merger shortly after the filing of their respective second quarter Form 10-Q filings. Assuming that timely clearance is received from the SEC, HLTH and WebMD expect to be in a position to hold stockholder meetings in October 2008 to seek the necessary stockholder approvals. Those meetings would also be the Annual Meetings for HLTH and WebMD.

    Financial Guidance

    WebMD reaffirmed its financial guidance for the remainder of 2008 today. HLTH is not providing consolidated financial guidance for 2008 at this time due to its pending merger with WebMD.

    Analyst and Investor Conference Call

    As previously announced, HLTH and WebMD will host a conference call at 4:45 pm (Eastern) today to discuss their respective second quarter results. Investors can access the call via webcast at http://www.hlth.com/ (in the Investor Relations section). A replay of the call will be available at the same web address.

    The accompanying HLTH Corporation press release and financial tables include both financial measures in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures represent earnings before interest, taxes, non- cash and other items (which we refer to as "Adjusted EBITDA") and related per share amounts. Adjusted EBITDA should be viewed as supplemental to, and not as an alternative for, "(loss) income from continuing operations" calculated in accordance with GAAP. The tables attached to the accompanying press release include reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures.

    Adjusted EBITDA is used by HLTH's management as an additional measure of HLTH's overall performance and its reporting segments' performance for purposes of business decision-making, including developing budgets, managing expenditures, and evaluating potential acquisitions or divestitures. Period- to-period comparisons of Adjusted EBITDA help HLTH's management identify additional trends in HLTH's and its reporting segments' financial results that may not be shown solely by period-to-period comparisons of (loss) income from continuing operations or net (loss) income. In addition, HLTH uses Adjusted EBITDA in the incentive compensation programs applicable to many of its employees in order to evaluate HLTH's performance. HLTH management recognizes that Adjusted EBITDA has inherent limitations because of the excluded items, particularly those items that are recurring in nature. In order to compensate for those limitations, management also reviews the specific items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, but included in income from continuing operations or net (loss) income, as well as trends in those items. The amounts of those items are set forth, for the applicable periods, in the reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to (loss) income from continuing operations or to net (loss) income that accompany our press releases containing non-GAAP financial measures, including the reconciliations contained in the tables attached to the accompanying press release.

    HLTH believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in their analysis of HLTH's results for reasons similar to the reasons why HLTH's management finds it useful and because it helps facilitate investor understanding of decisions made by HLTH's management in light of the performance metrics used in making those decisions. In addition, as more fully described below, HLTH believes that providing Adjusted EBITDA, together with a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to (loss) income from continuing operations or to net (loss) income, helps investors make comparisons between HLTH and other companies that may have different capital structures, different effective income tax rates and tax attributes, different capitalized asset values and/or different forms of employee compensation. However, Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide a supplemental way of comparing HLTH with other public companies and is not intended as a substitute for comparisons based on "income from continuing operations" or "net (loss) income" calculated in accordance with GAAP. In making any comparisons to other companies, investors need to be aware that companies use different non-GAAP measures to evaluate their financial performance. Investors should pay close attention to the specific definition being used and to the reconciliation between such measures and the corresponding GAAP measures provided by each company under applicable SEC rules.

    The following is an explanation of the items excluded by HLTH from Adjusted EBITDA but included in income from continuing operations:

    -- Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense is a non-cash expense relating to capital expenditures and intangible assets arising from acquisitions that are expensed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related assets. HLTH excludes depreciation and amortization expense from Adjusted EBITDA because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of HLTH's business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of new acquisitions and full amortization of previously acquired tangible and intangible assets. Accordingly, HLTH believes this exclusion assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons of operating performance. Investors should note that the use of tangible and intangible assets contributed to revenue in the periods presented and will contribute to future revenue generation and should also note that such expense will recur in future periods.

    -- Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Stock-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense arising from the grant of stock-based awards to employees. HLTH believes that excluding the effect of stock-based compensation from Adjusted EBITDA assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons in its operating performance because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of HLTH's business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of the timing of grants of new stock-based awards, including grants in connection with acquisitions. Additionally, HLTH believes that excluding stock-based compensation from Adjusted EBITDA assists management and investors in making meaningful comparisons between HLTH's operating performance and the operating performance of other companies that may use different forms of employee compensation or different valuation methodologies for their stock-based compensation. Investors should note that stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to employees whose efforts contributed to the operating results in the periods presented and are expected to contribute to operating results in future periods. Investors should also note that such expenses will recur in the future.

    -- Non-Cash Advertising Expense. This expense relates to the usage of non-cash advertising obtained from News Corporation ("Newscorp") in exchange for equity securities issued by HLTH in 2000. The advertising is available only on various Newscorp properties, primarily its television network and cable channels without any cash cost to HLTH. The amount of advertising that can be used in any year is subject to annual contractual limitation and expires in 2010. HLTH does not incur any other cash expenses related to airing of television advertising. HLTH excludes this expense from Adjusted EBITDA (i) because it is a non-cash expense, (ii) because it is incremental to other non- television cash advertising expense that HLTH otherwise incurs, (iii) because HLTH has not and believes it will not incur cash expenses relating to television advertising in the future and (iv) to assist management and investors in comparing its operating results over multiple periods. Investors should note that it is likely that HLTH derives some benefit from such advertising and that such expenses will recur in the future.

    -- Interest Income and Expense. Interest income is associated with the level of marketable debt securities and other interest bearing accounts in which HLTH invests, as well as with interest expenses arising from the capital structure of HLTH. Interest income and expense varies over time due to a variety of financing transactions and due to acquisitions and divestitures that HLTH has entered into or may enter into in the future. HLTH has, in the past several years, issued convertible debentures and preferred stock, repurchased shares in cash tender offers and through other repurchase transactions, conducted an initial public offering of equity in its WebMD subsidiary and completed the divestiture of certain businesses. HLTH excludes interest income and interest expense from Adjusted EBITDA (i) because these items are not directly attributable to the performance of HLTH's business operations and, accordingly, their exclusion assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons of operating performance and (ii) to assist management and investors in making comparisons to companies with different capital structures. Investors should note that interest income and expense will recur in future periods.

    -- Income Tax Provision. HLTH had a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward of approximately $1.3 billion as of the year ended December 31, 2007. HLTH maintained a full valuation allowance on these NOL carryforwards until the fourth quarter of 2007, at which time a portion of the valuation allowance was reversed after consideration of the relevant factors. The related valuation allowances are either reversed through the income statement, additional paid- in capital, or reversed to goodwill, to the extent those tax benefits were acquired through business combinations. The timing of such reversals has not been consistent and as a result, HLTH's income tax expense can fluctuate significantly from period to period in a manner not directly related to HLTH's operating performance. HLTH excludes the income tax provision from Adjusted EBITDA (i) because it believes that the income tax provision is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of HLTH's business operations and, accordingly, its exclusion assists management and investors in making period- to-period comparisons of operating performance and (ii) to assist management and investors in making comparisons to companies with different tax attributes. Investors should note that income tax provision will recur in future periods.

    -- Minority Interest in WHC. This represents the minority stockholders' proportionate share of net income or loss of HLTH's majority-owned WebMD Health Corp. subsidiary (which we refer to as WHC). The size of this Minority Interest is related to HLTH's percentage ownership of WHC. Changes in that percentage ownership may result from changes in WHC's capital structure, including as a result of sales of WHC equity securities by WHC or HLTH or as a result of exercise of WHC employee stock options. HLTH excludes Minority Interest from Adjusted EBITDA (i) because it believes that the size of the Minority Interest can vary for reasons not attributable to the underlying performance of HLTH's business operations and, accordingly, its exclusion assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons of operating performance and (ii) to assist management and investors in making comparisons to companies with different capital structures. Investors should note that Minority Interest in WHC will recur in future periods.

    -- Other Items. HLTH engages in other activities and transactions that can impact HLTH's overall income from continuing operations. These other items included, but were not limited to, (i) legal expenses relating to the on-going Department of Justice investigation, (ii) equity in earnings of EBS Master LLC, which represents 48% of EBS's income through February 8, 2008, (iii) working capital adjustment from the sale of 52% of the Emdeon Business Services segment on November 16, 2006, (iv) a reduction of certain sales and use tax contingencies resulting from the expiration of certain applicable statutes of limitations, (v) advisory expenses relating to the evaluation, in 2008 and 2007, by HLTH's Board of Directors of strategic alternatives for HLTH, (vi) gain on sale from the sale of the remaining 48% ownership interest in EBS Master LLC and (vii) loss on the impairment of auction rate securities. HLTH excludes these other items from Adjusted EBITDA because it believes these activities or transactions are not directly attributable to the performance of HLTH's business operations and, accordingly, their exclusion assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons of operating performance. Investors should note that some of these other items may recur in future periods.

    The accompanying WebMD Health Corp. press release and financial tables include both financial measures in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures represent earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items (which we refer to as "Adjusted EBITDA") and related per share amounts. Adjusted EBITDA should be viewed as supplemental to, and not as an alternative for, "income (loss) from continuing operations" calculated in accordance with GAAP. The tables attached to the accompanying press release include reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures.

    Adjusted EBITDA is used by WebMD's management as an additional measure of WebMD's overall performance and its reporting segments' performance for purposes of business decision-making, including developing budgets, managing expenditures, and evaluating potential acquisitions or divestitures. Period-to-period comparisons of Adjusted EBITDA help WebMD's management identify additional trends in WebMD's and its reporting segments' financial results that may not be shown solely by period-to-period comparisons of income (loss) from continuing operations or net income (loss). In addition, WebMD uses Adjusted EBITDA in the incentive compensation programs applicable to many of its employees in order to evaluate WebMD's performance. WebMD management recognizes that Adjusted EBITDA has inherent limitations because of the excluded items, particularly those items that are recurring in nature. In order to compensate for those limitations, management also reviews the specific items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, but included in income (loss) from continuing operations or net income (loss), as well as trends in those items. The amounts of those items are set forth, for the applicable periods, in the reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations or to net income (loss) that accompany our press releases containing non-GAAP financial measures, including the reconciliations contained in the tables attached to the accompanying press release.

    WebMD believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in their analysis of WebMD's results for reasons similar to the reasons why WebMD's management finds it useful and because it helps facilitate investor understanding of decisions made by WebMD's management in light of the performance metrics used in making those decisions. In addition, as more fully described below, WebMD believes that providing Adjusted EBITDA, together with a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations or to net income (loss), helps investors make comparisons between WebMD and other companies that may have different capital structures, different effective income tax rates and tax attributes, different capitalized asset values and/or different forms of employee compensation. However, Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide a supplemental way of comparing WebMD with other public companies and is not intended as a substitute for comparisons based on "income (loss) from continuing operations" or "net income (loss)" calculated in accordance with GAAP. In making any comparisons to other companies, investors need to be aware that companies use different non-GAAP measures to evaluate their financial performance. Investors should pay close attention to the specific definition being used and to the reconciliation between such measures and the corresponding GAAP measures provided by each company under applicable SEC rules.

    The following is an explanation of the items excluded by WebMD from Adjusted EBITDA but included in income (loss) from continuing operations:

    -- Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense is a non-cash expense relating to capital expenditures and intangible assets arising from acquisitions that are expensed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related assets. WebMD excludes depreciation and amortization expense from Adjusted EBITDA because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of WebMD's business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of new acquisitions and full amortization of previously acquired tangible and intangible assets. Accordingly, WebMD believes this exclusion assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons of operating performance. Investors should note that use of tangible and intangible assets contributed to revenue in the periods presented and will contribute to future revenue generation and should also note that such expenses will recur in future periods.

    -- Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Stock-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense arising from the grant of stock-based awards to employees. WebMD believes that excluding the effect of stock-based compensation from Adjusted EBITDA assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons in its operating performance because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of WebMD's business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of the timing of grants of new stock-based awards, including grants in connection with acquisitions. Additionally, WebMD believes that excluding stock-based compensation from Adjusted EBITDA assists management and investors in making meaningful comparisons between WebMD's operating performance and the operating performance of other companies that may use different forms of employee compensation or different valuation methodologies for their stock-based compensation. Investors should note that stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to employees whose efforts contributed to the operating results in the periods presented and are expected to contribute to operating results in future periods. Investors should also note that such expenses will recur in the future. Stock-based compensation expenses included in the Statement of Operations are summarized as follows:

    Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2008 2007 2008 2007 Non-cash stock-based compensation included in: Cost of operations $(826) $(984) $(1,945) $(2,562) Sales and marketing $(1,264) $(1,379) $(2,402) $(2,637) General and administrative $(1,398) $(2,179) $(2,853) $(4,706)

    -- Non-Cash Advertising Expense. This expense relates to the usage of non-cash advertising obtained from News Corporation ("Newscorp") in exchange for equity securities issued by our parent, HLTH Corporation in 2000. The advertising is available only on various Newscorp properties, primarily its television network and cable channels without any cash cost to WebMD. The amount of advertising that can be used in any year is subject to annual contractual limitation and expires in 2009. WebMD does not incur any other cash expenses related to airing of television advertising. WebMD excludes this expense from Adjusted EBITDA (i) because it is a non-cash expense, (ii) because it is incremental to other non-television cash advertising expense that WebMD otherwise incurs, (iii) because WebMD has not and believes it will not incur cash expenses relating to television advertising in the future and (iv) to assist management and investors in comparing its operating results over multiple periods. Investors should note that it is likely that WebMD derives some benefit from such advertising and that such expenses will recur in the future. Non-cash advertising expenses included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in Sales and Marketing expense were $1,558 and $2,320 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. There were no non-cash advertising expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

    -- Interest Income. Interest income is associated with the level of marketable debt securities and other interest bearing accounts in which WebMD invests. Interest income varies over time due to varying levels of securities available for investment. Transactions that WebMD has entered into in recent periods that have impacted securities available for investment include the initial public offering of equity in WebMD and acquisitions of other companies for varying amounts of cash since our initial public offering. Additional financing transactions as well as potential acquisitions that WebMD may enter into in the future could impact the levels and timing of securities available for investment. WebMD excludes interest income from Adjusted EBITDA (i) because it is not directly attributable to the performance of WebMD's business operations and, accordingly, its exclusion assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons of operating performance and (ii) to assist management and investors in making comparisons to companies with different capital structures. Investors should note that interest income will recur in future periods.

    -- Income Tax Provision. WebMD had a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward of approximately $270,000 as of the year ended December 31, 2007. WebMD maintained a full valuation allowance on these NOL carryforwards until the fourth quarter of 2007, at which time a portion of the valuation allowance was reversed after consideration of the relevant factors. The related valuation allowances are either reversed through the income statement, additional paid-in capital, or reversed to goodwill, to the extent those tax benefits were acquired through business combinations. The timing of such reversals has not been consistent and as a result, WebMD's income tax expense can fluctuate significantly from period to period in a manner not directly related to WebMD's operating performance. WebMD excludes the income tax provision from Adjusted EBITDA (i) because it believes that the income tax provision is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of WebMD's business operations and, accordingly, its exclusion assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons of operating performance and (ii) to assist management and investors in making comparisons to companies with different tax attributes. Investors should note that income tax provision will recur in future periods.

    -- Other Items. WebMD engages in other activities and transactions that can impact WebMD's overall income (loss) from continuing operations. WebMD excludes these other items from Adjusted EBITDA when it believes these activities or transactions are not directly attributable to the performance of WebMD's business operations and, accordingly, their exclusion assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons of operating performance. Investors should note that these other items may recur in future periods. In the accompanying press release and financial tables, WebMD has excluded loss on the impairment of auction rate securities from Adjusted EBITDA.

    DEI Holdings Reports Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results- Reported EPS of $0.04, or $1.0 million of net income, compared with a breakeven quarter a year ago - Generated $20.5 million in year-to-date operating cash flow - Restructuring plan ahead of expectations; implemented $5 million in annualized savings - Prepaid additional $3.0 million of term debt and ended the second quarter with $12.8 million of cash and undrawn revolver of $50 million

    VISTA, Calif., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DEI Holdings, Inc. announced today financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008.

    (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080625/LAW063) Second Quarter Financial Highlights -- Achieved pro forma net sales of $75.0 million and GAAP net sales of $58.9 million -- Generated $2.7 million in incremental intellectual property licensing fees -- Adjusted EBITDA totaled $11.6 million and net income totaled $1.0 million -- Reported EPS of $0.04, as compared with $0.00 in the prior year -- Generated $20.5 million in operating cash flow for the first half of 2008, resulting in cash balance of $12.8 million and undrawn revolver of $50.0 million -- Prepaid $3.0 million of term debt, which contributed to a 21% reduction in debt balance year-over-year Recent Operating and Restructuring Highlights -- Shipped a broad Polk Audio product assortment to approximately 900 Best Buy locations -- Secured Hyundai Motors Canada as a customer for remote start products -- Restructuring achievements include: -- Exiting mobile video business -- Closing UK office and transitioning to a distributor -- Completed implementation of workforce right-sizing and operating efficiency initiatives expected to result in cost savings of $5 million on an annualized basis -- Changed the parent company's name from Directed Electronics, Inc. to DEI Holdings, Inc. to more closely align corporate structure with daily operations -- Announced the formation of a new senior officers group, including appointment of Michael S. Simmons as President of Directed Electronics

    "Despite the challenging macroeconomic conditions and consumer environment, in the second quarter we returned to profitability, generating strong earnings as compared with a year ago," commented James E. Minarik, DEI Holdings' President and Chief Executive Officer. "We positively impacted our top line by shipping a broad assortment of Polk Audio products to approximately 900 Best Buy stores and earning additional IP royalty revenue related to our security and convenience business, further demonstrating our competitive advantage in this category. In addition, we secured Hyundai Motors Canada as a remote start customer, with initial shipments expected in the third quarter."

    "We also continued to reduce our fixed expenses including announcing the closure of our UK office, which had recently generated operating losses, while concurrently appointing a leading distribution partner to service the UK market. Our comprehensive restructuring plan has reduced our cost structure and positioned the company for continued strong results."

    Second Quarter 2008 Results

    As a reminder, prior to January 1, 2008, the company accounted for sales of SIRIUS-related hardware products on a gross basis. The most recent amendment to the company's agreement with SIRIUS significantly reduced the company's risks in this business. Consequently, in accordance with EITF 99-19, satellite radio revenues are now reported on a net basis calculated as gross amounts billed to customers less (i) amounts paid to suppliers, (ii) rebates and discounts, and (iii) other direct costs. The change in the application of the company's accounting policy did not affect reported gross profit, operating income, or net income. In the first quarter of 2008, the company also began providing gross margins by product category.

    Sales

    Pro forma net sales in the second quarter of 2008 totaled $75.0 million compared with $86.7 million in the second quarter of 2007. Second quarter 2007 results included a one-time increase of $3.2 million in net sales related to a change in the company's transport insurance, which allowed the company to recognize revenue at the time of shipment as opposed to the time of delivery. Second quarter 2008 sales include $2.7 million of incremental royalty revenue related to intellectual property licensing fees. With the previously mentioned change in the satellite radio sales reporting method, the company's GAAP net sales were $58.9 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared with $86.7 million in the second quarter of 2007.

    Gross Margins

    For the second quarter of 2008, gross margins were 53.6% compared with 32.7% for the second quarter of 2007. The increase is attributable to the change in accounting for the company's satellite radio products to a net basis as described above, an increase in royalty revenue during the second quarter of 2008, and a reduction in warranty and returns expense primarily associated with the company's improved satellite radio distribution agreement.

    Operating Expenses

    Operating expenses were $23.2 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared with $21.1 million in the second quarter of 2007. The increase was due to $0.7 million in greater outbound shipping costs principally related to higher fuel prices, $0.5 million from the addition of Trilogix, which was acquired in May 2007, and $0.4 million in restructuring charges related to right-sizing initiatives and the closure of the UK office. The increase was also partially attributable to the reduction of the company's bonus expense during the second quarter of 2007 as it became clear that company performance criteria would not be met.

    Interest Expense

    Net interest expense decreased 10.8% to $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared with the second quarter of 2007. The decrease is primarily due to lower levels of outstanding debt on the company's senior credit facility in the second quarter of 2008. This decrease was partially offset by a $0.1 million non-cash write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the company's prepayment of $3 million in term debt. The company's total debt decreased by $69.1 million, or 21.1%, from $327.7 million as of June 30, 2007 to $258.6 million as of June 30, 2008.

    Income

    Operating income increased 15.0% to $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared with $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2007.

    Adjusted EBITDA, which includes adjustments as defined by the company's lending agreement, was $11.6 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared with $10.6 million for the comparable period last year. Second quarter 2008 EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) was $10.5 million compared with EBITDA of $9.6 million in the comparable prior year period. A quantitative reconciliation from the company's GAAP results to its pro forma and adjusted results is provided in the accompanying tables.

    The company's net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $1.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with net income of $0.0 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter in the prior year.

    Second Quarter Product Category Results

    The following table provides pro forma sales and margins on a product category basis for the second quarter of 2008 compared with the comparable period in the prior year. The following pro forma financial results are reconciled to GAAP results in the accompanying tables.

    Security & Entertainment Satellite Radio Total Qtr Ended Qtr Ended Qtr Ended Qtr Ended Qtr Ended Qtr Ended 6/30/2008 6/30/2007 6/30/2008 6/30/2007 6/30/2008 6/30/2007 Pro Forma Results: Net Product Sales $50,974 $57,912 $20,711 $27,722 $71,685 $85,634 Royalty & Other 3,335 984 21 112 3,356 1,096 Net Sales $54,309 $58,896 $20,732 $27,834 $75,041 $86,730 Cost of Sales 27,331 34,052 16,168 24,299 43,499 58,351 Gross Profit $26,978 $24,844 $4,564 $3,535 $31,542 $28,379 % Margin 49.7% 42.2% 22.0% 12.7% 42.0% 32.7% Security & Entertainment

    Security and entertainment product sales, net of rebates, decreased to $51.0 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared with $57.9 million for the comparable period in 2007. Of the $6.9 million decrease, $3.0 million is attributable to the change in timing of revenue recognition in 2007 as discussed above. Excluding the decrease attributable to the change in timing of revenue recognition, security and entertainment product sales decreased by $3.9 million, or 7.1%, which is consistent with the first quarter 2008 results as compared with the prior year. Strong sales performance of Polk Audio products, as well as security products to Best Buy and Circuit City, were more than offset by overall consumer weakness in many regions of the United States.

    Gross profit margin on security and entertainment products totaled 49.7% in the second quarter of 2008 compared with 42.2% in the second quarter of 2007. The gross margin rate increase was primarily attributable to $2.7 million of royalty revenue earned in the second quarter of 2008 related to the company's security and convenience intellectual property. Excluding this incremental royalty revenue, security and entertainment gross profit margins increased from 42.2% in the second quarter of 2007 to 47.0% in the second

    quarter of 2008 primarily due to strategic price increases, as well as lower warranty and returns costs.

    Satellite Radio

    Satellite radio pro forma product sales, net of rebates, for the second quarter of 2008 totaled $20.7 million, a 25.3% decrease compared with net product sales of $27.7 million for the second quarter of 2007. The decrease is partially attributable to a company-initiated plan and a new arrangement between the company and SIRIUS that reduced sales to Sirius.com, as these sales carried lower than average margins and required high working capital. Additionally, consumer demand for satellite radio was lower in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007, particularly related to Father's Day gift giving which has historically been a demand driver for the purchase of satellite radio receivers.

    With the implementation of the previously mentioned net reporting accounting policy, GAAP satellite radio sales, net of $16.2 million in direct costs, totaled $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2008.

    On a pro forma basis, gross profit margin on satellite radio sales increased from 12.7% in the second quarter of 2007 to 22.0% in the second quarter of 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to a reduction of $1.4 million in the company's warranty and sales returns reserves related to the company's amended distribution agreement with SIRIUS. Excluding the reduction in these reserves, the company's satellite radio pro forma gross profit margin increased from 12.7% in the second quarter of 2007 to 15.8% in the second quarter of 2008 primarily due to an improved customer mix.

    Balance Sheet and Cash Flows

    The company generated $20.5 million of operating cash flow for the first six months of 2008 and ended the quarter with $12.8 million in cash and an undrawn revolver of $50.0 million. At the end of the second quarter of 2008, total debt was $258.6 million, a decrease of $69.1 million, or 21.1%, compared with total debt of $327.7 million as of June 30, 2007, which included $24.0 million drawn on the revolver.

    This earnings release includes information presented on a pro forma basis. These pro forma financial measures are considered "non-GAAP" financial measures within the meaning of SEC Regulation G. The company believes that this presentation of pro forma results provides useful information to both management and investors by excluding specific revenue, costs and expenses that the company believes are not indicative of core operating results. Additionally, in accordance with GAAP, beginning in the first quarter of 2008, the company reported satellite radio sales on a net basis, but has not recast prior period satellite radio sales as the change in presentation is not considered a change in accounting principle but is the application of the same principle to different facts and circumstances. For comparison and discussion purposes, the company provides sales and cost information on a gross basis. Although not in accordance with GAAP, the company believes this information is informative as to the level of its satellite radio business, provides increased transparency, and presents satellite radio sales on a basis comparable to prior periods and to security and entertainment sales. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The reconciliations set forth below are provided in accordance with Regulation G and reconcile the pro forma financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP-based financial measures.

The reconciliation set forth above is provided in accordance with Regulation G and reconciles EBITDA, pro forma EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA with the most directly comparable GAAP-based financial measure.

    Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Allscripts reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. To supplement this information, Allscripts presents in this press release non-GAAP net income (and related per share amounts), which is a non-GAAP financial measure under Section 101 of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Non-GAAP net income consists of GAAP net income, excluding acquisition-related amortization, stock-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123R, and transaction-related expenses, in each case net of any related tax benefit.

    -- Acquisition-Related Amortization. Acquisition-related amortization expense is a non-cash expense arising from the acquisition of intangible assets in connection with acquisitions or investments. Allscripts excludes acquisition-related amortization expense from non-GAAP net income because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of Allscripts business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of new acquisitions and full amortization of previously acquired intangible assets. Investors should note that the use of these intangible assets contributed to revenue in the periods presented and will contribute to future revenue generation and should also note that such expense will recur in future periods.

    -- Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Stock-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense arising from the grant of stock awards to employees. Allscripts excludes stock-based compensation expense from non-GAAP net income because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of Allscripts business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of the timing of grants of new stock-based awards, including grants in connection with acquisitions. Investors should note that stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to employees whose efforts contributed to the operating results in the periods presented and are expected to contribute to operating results in future periods and should also note that such expense will recur in future periods.

    -- Transaction-Related Expenses. Transaction-related expenses are fees and expenses, including legal, investment banking and accounting fees, incurred in connection with announced transactions. Allscripts excludes transaction- related expenses from non-GAAP net income because it believes (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of Allscripts business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between periods.

    Management also believes that non-GAAP net income (and related per share amounts) provides useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the underlying performance of the Company's business operations and facilitates comparisons to our historical operating results. Management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting as it believes that the measure is indicative of the Company's core operating results. Note however, that non-GAAP net income is a performance measure only, and it does not provide any measure of the Company's cash flow or liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Allscripts results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures with GAAP financial measures contained within the attached condensed consolidated financial statements.

    Wireless Phone Users in St. Louis' Midtown Now Experience Even Clearer Reception and Fewer Dropped CallsVerizon Wireless Activates Cell Site on St. Louis University Campus

    ST. LOUIS, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless, the only major carrier with a 30-day network test-drive pledge that pays for calls if a customer isn't satisfied and switches to another carrier, has activated a new cell site in the City of St. Louis that expands network coverage and increases capacity, enabling more customers to use their wireless phones concurrently to make calls; send and receive email and text, picture and video messages; and download games and ringtones while enjoying clearer reception and fewer dropped calls.

    This new cell site improves Verizon Wireless' voice and data network in the Midtown section of St. Louis, supplying better coverage and capacity in the vicinity of St. Louis University (SLU). Specifically, Verizon Wireless customers will experience better coverage on the SLU campus and within a radius of campus that stretches west to the Lindell Boulevard and Sarah Street intersection, and east to the N. Garrison Avenue and Olive Street intersection. Likewise, the improved coverage area extends north and south of SLU to about the Grand Avenue junctions with Page Avenue and Gratiot Street.

    "This network enhancement reflects our ongoing commitment to meet the growing needs of our customers and to provide them with the reliable, high quality service they expect from Verizon Wireless," said Lou Sigillo, president-Kansas/Missouri Region, Verizon Wireless.

    Reliable service is fundamental to customer loyalty, and Verizon Wireless boasts the highest customer loyalty in the industry, as measured by the company's low percent of customer turnover.

    "The value we offer our customers is closely tied to our industry-leading customer retention," Sigillo said. "Wireless consumers today understand that value is not defined by price alone. A major reason our customers choose Verizon Wireless and stay with us is because we offer the nation's most reliable network."

    This new cell site is part of Verizon Wireless' continual effort to expand coverage, increase capacity and enhance the quality of its wireless voice and data network in Missouri and throughout the country. Verizon Wireless has invested $44 billion since it was formed -- $5.5 billion on average every year -- to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services. More than $79 million of this investment was spent in Missouri in 2007.

    About Verizon Wireless

    Verizon Wireless operates the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, serving 68.7 million customers. Headquartered in Basking Ridge, N.J., with 70,000 employees nationwide, Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone (NYSE and LSE: VOD).

    ACS and Protech Solutions, Inc. Announce Initiative for Next-Generation Child Support System

    DALLAS, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. today announced an initiative with Protech Solutions, Inc. to offer CSEnext, a new state child support enforcement (CSE) solution designed to increase case collections, staff productivity and system savings.

    "Combining ACS' proven expertise and Protech's unequaled track record of designing child support systems, the power of CSEnext will benefit our clients and the people they serve," said Joe Doherty, executive vice president and group president of ACS' Government Solutions Group. "This is another example of how ACS understands how to find forward-thinking solutions for all levels of governments and the issues they face every day."

    The next-generation enterprise framework allows states to modernize their legacy system through flexible Web-based modules, which is less expensive and easier than a full-system replacement. CSEnext also maintains the state's federal system certification.

    Developed by Protech, CSEnext is the nation's most innovative child support case management application. "Through CSEnext modules and a low-risk development framework, ACS and Protech will deliver a risk-managed child support modular solution that will improve services dramatically through innovative case management solutions," said Nagaraj Garimalla, CEO of Protech Solutions, Inc. "These are mature, tested modules that can be implemented incrementally and can co-exist with current child support systems."

    ACS is the largest provider of managed services for state and local governments -- including county governments -- including more than 1,700 state and local government entities. ACS is the largest provider of BPO services in the government sector, including more than $7.5 billion in beneficiary payments through its electronic payment card or stored value card services as well as supporting more than 23 million Medicaid recipients, processing nearly 550 million Medicaid healthcare claims annually.

    Tomorrow's CIO Looking Very Much Like Today's CEO, InformationWeek Research FindsNew research finds emerging challenges abound for Tomorrow's CIO: Mastering Business Processes, Creating Customer Value and Experience Outside of IT

    SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- InformationWeek, the leading multimedia business technology brand, released the results of an in-depth study that delves into the role of the CIO and their evolving influence within their organizations. The study, "Tomorrow's CIO", reveals that companies continue to demand business innovation and technology vision from CIOs while looking to CIOs for leadership across a broad range of issues. In addition, there are signs that the perception of the CIO role has slipped among other corporate officers, according to the latest report by InformationWeek's Analytics (http://www.informationweekanalytics.com/), an exclusive IT research and analysis service from TechWeb's InformationWeek (http://www.informationweek.com/). The InformationWeek Analytics Report on Tomorrow's CIO, written by John Soat, is now available at http://www.informationweekanalytics.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=4 4 (Due to length of URL, please copy and paste into browser and remove the space if one exists)

    InformationWeek found that companies will continue to expect more than infrastructure management from CIOs and their IT organizations. The attributes considered extremely important by at least eight of 10 people surveyed are leadership, effective execution, collaboration, vision, innovation, and team building. In the survey of 720 business technology executives, 78% believe that the need to optimize business processes will drive the CIO's influence as a leader.

    Still, the study offers warning signs for CIOs. Only 39% of corporate managers outside IT say the influence of the CIO is increasing, down from 43% in InformationWeek's research a year ago. CIOs are slightly more bullish on themselves: 55% say the CIO's stature has increased in their organization, down from 66% a year ago. One third of the corporate managers surveyed describe the CIO as "actively involved" in the big corporate decisions, the same as last year. But only 30% of CIOs describe themselves as "actively involved," down from 38% last year.

    The research points to even greater changes for the CIOs waiting in the wings. New and future generations of CIOs will need a different skill set to master the CIO role of tomorrow. Experience other than IT is increasingly more critical to the CIO of tomorrow. Expectations are high for tomorrow's CIO -- a tech-savvy business leader and innovator, aggressive and effective, visionary and practical, innovative and process orientated.

    The survey indicates how important diverse experience is to the CIO role of the future. Effective future CIOs will likely need experience running a business unit outside IT. (see chart below)

    Very important 36% Valuable, but not critical 58% Not important 6%

    Although there are signs pointing towards less CIO influence, leadership continues to top the list of attributes critical for tomorrow's CIO; this was cited by more than nine of 10 respondents.

    The survey shows the following ranking of for CIO attributes: Leadership 94% Ability to execute and meet deadlines 89% Collaboration and communication 88% Vision 85% Innovation 81% Team building 80% Consensus building 68% Technical breadth and depth 55% Raw intellect 53% Sales orientation 35%

    The report also cited the major obstacles confronting CIOs and topping the list is the view of IT as a cost center rather than business enabler. The survey shows the following list of obstacles facing CIOs:

    CIOs/VPs Corporate of IT Managers The fact that IT is still viewed as a cost center 70% 66% The burden of ongoing IT maintenance 57% 50% The fact that top management lacks technology vision 41% 30% Inability to attract and retain top business technology talent 31% 29% A risk-adverse corporate culture 29% 25% The fact that more business executives are involved in technology strategy 22% 24% Diminished influence of the CIO in the senior management ranks 20% 13%

    "There's a dichotomy developing around the perception of the CIO. Where some organizations see a competitive advantage in their IT organizations, others suffer from the legacy perception that IT is a cost to be minimized," said Art Wittmann, Managing Director of InformationWeek Analytics. "Increasingly it's up to the CIO to prove the worth of IT investments."

    In conjunction with this research, InformationWeek also offers The CIO Assessment Tool, which evaluates the preparedness of CIOs for tomorrow's challenges. CIOs can assess their readiness by visiting: http://www.informationweek.com/news/management/interviews/showArticle.jhtml?articleID =208403497 (Due to length of URL, please copy and paste into browser and remove the space if one exists)

    These survey results punctuate the theme of the 2008 InformationWeek 500 Conference, "Tomorrow's CIO." The annual event will be held September 14-16, 2008 at the St. Regis Resort in Monarch Beach, CA. The prestigious event will not only celebrate naming the top 500 IT organizations, it will also focus on preparing technology executives to meet the needs of tomorrow's dynamic business environment.

    The 2008 InformationWeek 500 Conference provides insights to the skills, experience and expertise that will ensure success for the CIO of the future. The Conference will feature in-depth, expert-led discussions on what it takes for current and next-generation CIOs to prosper, peer group dialogue including innovative sessions with leading CIOs designed to spark ideas and interaction, a keen focus on the technologies that will drive tomorrow's businesses and proven, unconventional strategies and processes to make it happen.

    Febreze(R): A Pet Owner's Best FriendFebreze Targets Pet Owners and Lovers with Complete Line of Febreze Pet Odor Eliminator

    CINCINNATI, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Febreze, the leading line of home freshening products and a favorite among pooches and purrs, is extending its revolutionary Pet Odor Eliminator technology into a complete pet-friendly collection. Febreze Fabric Refresher and Air Effects Pet Odor Eliminator offerings will be joined this summer by Febreze Candles Pet Odor Eliminator and Febreze NOTICEables Pet Odor Eliminator, delivering breaths of fresh air to pet-loving homes across the country.

    Unlike many air fresheners that just cover up pet odors with a heavy perfume, Febreze Pet Odor Eliminator products eliminate pet odors in the air while at the same time delivering a light, fresh scent. Febreze has come full circle with the entire line, now offering pet owners a wider array of tools to de-stink and freshen up, while maintaining a happy and healthy home for their furry loved ones.

    "The success of Febreze Fabric Refresher and Air Effects Pet Odor Eliminator has led the brand to extend freshness to more pet homes across the country," said Scott Beal, Brand Manager for Febreze. "The addition of Febreze Candles and Febreze NOTICEables Pet Odor Eliminator will provide pet owners freshness and odor elimination benefits in a broader and more versatile line."

    To kick off the Pet Odor Eliminator line, Febreze will be the first to sponsor Dogster.com's Adoption Zone, continuing its successful partnership with Dogster.com and Catster.com, the fastest-growing pet destinations on the Web. New pet owners in the Dogster and Catster communities will also be encouraged to join a special Febreze group for an exclusive, limited edition Pet Pal Pack. The pack will come complete with a collapsible pet bowl, handy food scoop, food clip and Febreze Pet Odor Eliminator coupons, good for the entire line.

    "The Febreze Pet Odor Eliminator Group on Dogster.com and Catster.com has been one of the most successful groups in our Web sites' history," said Steven Reading, Chief Business Officer of Dogster and Catster. "Dogster and Catster are thrilled to continue our relationship with Febreze and offer our members new and innovative resources to properly care for their pets and homes."

    The Febreze Air Effects Pet Odor Eliminator line is approved by the American Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Febreze Pet Odor Eliminator products are convenient tools for pet-owners -- whether plugging in a Febreze NOTICEables near the litter box or showing proper "petiquette" by lighting a Febreze Candle to remove odors for house guests, Febreze is an essential tool for the new and existing pet lover.

    Febreze Air Effects Pet Odor Eliminator is available at major mass market grocery and drug store retailers nationwide. Price is at the sole discretion of the retailer; suggested retail price for the line ranges from $2.00 - $8.00.

    The Febreze family of products, which also includes the Febreze Fabric Refresher line, Febreze Candles(TM), Febreze To Go(TM), Febreze Air Effects(TM) and Febreze NOTICEables(TM), all feature advanced odor eliminating technology.

With the growth in consumer electronic spending in these markets we can become a leading supplier of portable entertainment devices."

    Pictometry and First American Combine Accurate Parcel Addressing With 3-D Like Intelligent Images(TM)Unprecedented accuracy and oblique imagery offer new possibilities for Insurance, Utilities, Real Estate and Mortgage/Banking Industries

    ROCHESTER, N.Y., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Pictometry International Corp., a leading provider of geo-referenced aerial image libraries whose proprietary technology is used globally to capture oblique image libraries, today announced a powerful new alliance with First American Proxix Solutions, a subsidiary of the First American Corporation, which combines Pictometry's 3-D like Intelligent Images(TM) with the most accurate location technology available today. The result is Pictometry MatchPoint API(TM).

    Pictometry MatchPoint uses basic address information to locate properties with unparalleled parcel precision; then instantly displays these locations using the same 3D-like high-resolution, geo-referenced imagery emergency responders use to see all the way around a location and glean critical visual information.

    "This alliance joins two powerful technologies to create a capability that has limitless applications and potential," said Pictometry's Dante Pennacchia, Chief Marketing Officer, adding, "We're thrilled to partner with First American in this way. Together, we hope to set a new standard and change the way people work by providing them with easy access to visual intelligence with an accuracy level they can trust."

    Pictometry MatchPoint is a web-based visual information solution which features First American's PxPoint parcel-level geocoding technology and Pictometry's oblique imagery. PxPoint is a multinational geo-coding engine designed with advanced matching algorithms and the ability to utilize multiple datasets simultaneously, including the most complete national parcel database available today and more than 80 million addresses worldwide (more than double the size of other geocoding databases). Pictometry's proprietary oblique image capture process captures imagery at an angle for a 3-D like view, unlike traditional orthogonal or 'straight down' imagery which provides only a rooftop view.

    "Other addressing solutions simply don't have access to the data PxPoint uses to have this level of accuracy," said Scott Little, Chief Executive Officer for First American's Proxix Solutions. PxPoint's advanced geocoding technology and database work together to eliminate uncertainty over the location of an address. "Now, users can have confidence in what they find and no longer need to confirm or further determine a property's exact location by studying nearby features. We focus on the locational accuracy and Pictometry brings the location to life."

    "More precise geocoding makes Pictometry's imagery more valuable for a wide range of applications," said David Sonnen, International Data Corporation's Senior Consultant for Spatial Information. "This is a significant new spatial data capability. We expect to see good uptake within industries ranging from real estate to emergency services."

    Author Avoids Travel Cost and Hassle Using Mediasite to Webcast Virtual Book TourColleen Gleason to unveil her latest release via webcast to a global audience

    MADISON, Wis., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In the first-ever virtual book release using Mediasite by Sonic Foundry, Inc. , the recognized market leader for rich media webcasting and knowledge management, author Colleen Gleason will connect simultaneously with fans across the globe today as she unveils When Twilight Burns, the highly-anticipated fourth book in The Gardella Vampire Chronicles.

    The live webcast is scheduled for Tuesday, August 5 at 8:30 p.m. Eastern at http://learning.mihealth.org/mediasite/colleengleason/. It will also be available on demand for one month following the webcast.

    "Using Mediasite I can be available to fans worldwide without all the travel and costs associated with a traditional book tour. This time they won't even have to leave their homes, and it's free for them and little cost to me," said Gleason, who expects fans to tune in from several locations in the U.S. as well as Hong Kong, Scotland, Ireland and Italy. "Mediasite offers total flexibility, is within my budget and has the features and capability I wanted."

    One of those features is the ability for the web audience to ask real-time questions. "Mediasite is a platform for me to interact with my fans in a unique way. It is an opportunity for them to talk to me directly -- something they might not have the opportunity to do at a general book signing," said Gleason. "They'll have a chance to ask me questions, see my visible reaction to certain questions and read my thoughts when they try to nail me down on details I won't divulge. They'll see what I'm like as a person, rather than just a picture on a website."

    Viewers will be able to interact with Gleason as she reads an excerpt from her latest installment and talks about how she researches her books, which are set in 18th century England. The storyline -- part Buffy the Vampire Slayer, part Pride and Prejudice -- follows a woman balancing life as a Regency-era debutante with one as the descendent of a line of vampire hunters. Since the third book, The Bleeding Dusk, ended on a cliffhanger, fans are anxiously awaiting this release.

    Gleason sees the virtual book release as an emerging trend as authors boost their web presence with blogs and live chats. She plans to use the webcast to strengthen her already robust fan base.

    "The thing I like best about Colleen is that she's always on the cutting edge of romance promotion and the virtual book release with Mediasite is yet another stroke of genius," said Kati Dancy, who will be tuning in to the webcast from her home in Washington DC. "It allows us, the fans, to hear Colleen talk more about this exciting series and gives us a chance to interact with her and ask any burning questions we might have. It's an opportunity I wouldn't otherwise have."

    As stated by the Company CEO in the conference call held yesterday, the non-GAAP EPS should have been calculated based on the Company's share count on a fully diluted basis, and not based on the outstanding share count.

    The non-GAAP EPS for the second quarter of 2008 was calculated based on the outstanding share count of 20,951 (in '000s) shares. Accordingly, based on the revised share count of 21,877 (in '000s) shares, Q2 2008 non-GAAP EPS has been revised to $0.13 as compared to $0.16 per diluted share in the year-ago period.

    Mid-Market and Large Enterprises Go Live on NetSuite For ERP, CRM and Ecommerce Automation

    SAN MATEO, California, August 5 /PRNewswire/ --

    - NetSuite Supports Intuitive Surgical's Rapid Growth Nestle UK Builds Online Store with NetSuite Ecommerce in Six Weeks Wasserman Replaces Microsoft Dynamics-Great Plains with NetSuite For ERP and CRM

    NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), a leading vendor of on-demand, integrated business management software suites, today announced the latest mid-market and large enterprise companies to go live on NetSuite after successful and on-time implementations. NetSuite's role at Intuitive Surgical, Nestle UK, and Wasserman Media Group -- three companies competing in highly diverse industries -- demonstrates the breadth of functionality that NetSuite brings to the challenge of managing complex business processes across a wide range of vertical markets while addressing real-world business needs.

    (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20021024/SFTH024LOGO)

    For example, Intuitive Surgical, a leader in operative surgical robotics, is using NetSuite CRM to integrate and manage a number of complex business process services that they provide to hospitals across the United States. Nestlé UK used NetSuite Ecommerce to build a completely integrated online store in six weeks, under rigid requirements. Nestle UK now runs its entire online store for employees and local communities on NetSuite. Wasserman Media Group, LLC, a worldwide leader in sports marketing and content, replaced Microsoft Dynamics-Great Plains with NetSuite to run its front and back-office operations -- which are unique in the sports marketing industry -- including partner athlete commissions management, and tracking and billing direct costs to customers. For more information about NetSuite customer successes, please visit http://www.netsuite.com/customersuccess.

    New Customer Implementations

    The new customers announced today are the latest in a growing list of enterprises that have adopted NetSuite's on-demand suites in recent months. All three companies leveraged the expertise of NetSuite's Professional Services team to achieve successful, on-time implementations.

    Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (http://www.intuitivesurgical.com) (Nasdaq: ISRG) is a publicly traded, US$600 million company that is a leader in operative surgical robotics. Intuitive Surgical selected NetSuite CRM to integrate its business process services for hundreds of hospitals nationwide. These services include tracking where and when its operative surgical systems are used, as well as which surgeons are using them. In addition, Intuitive Surgical's sales organization uses NetSuite to manage sales business processes, including tracking all new sales opportunities with surgeons and hospitals, and managing long sales cycles. NetSuite gives Intuitive Surgical access to real-time reporting, thus providing timely information about the usage of surgical systems and accessories, which is a key indicator of product success.

    "We chose NetSuite CRM for several reasons," said Chris Boots, Director, Sales & Marketing Operations, Intuitive Surgical. "First and foremost, NetSuite has the deep CRM functionality we needed to set up all of our cases, customers and contacts. In addition, NetSuite Professional Services was able to create more than 100 custom fields for our specific needs. Not only did we go live in 120 days, on time and within budget, but the NetSuite team was a pleasure to work with. With NetSuite now live, we're looking forward to exploring NetSuite's deep functionality as our needs change and grow."

    Nestle UK Ltd (http://www.Nestle.co.uk) is the UK-based operation of the world's nutrition, health and wellness company. The company is famous for NESCAFE and Kit Kat, but is also known in the United Kingdom for its brands of milk, cream, and pasta.

    Following legislative changes, the company underwent a major reorganization of its manufacturing and distribution site in York, resulting in the loss of space for its popular staff shop. NetSuite began working with Nestle UK to develop an online store where current and former employees and selected members of the local community could log on, browse available stock, place orders and collect them later. Two of Nestle UK's more important requirements were that the online store be designed so that it would be simple and easy to use, and that it must be completed within a firm six-week deadline. NetSuite and its Professional Services team worked to customize the online store and were able to deliver exactly what Nestle UK asked for.

    Wasserman Media Group, LLC (http://www.wmgllc.com) is a worldwide leader in sports marketing and content. Wasserman replaced Microsoft Dynamics-Great Plains with NetSuite to meet its unique business needs in the sports marketing industry. With NetSuite, Wasserman is managing complex business processes such as partner athlete commissions, athlete management, and tracking and billing direct costs to customers. Thanks to the simplicity of customizing NetSuite to address specific business requirements, Wasserman's accounting team can now easily access accounting and financial reports that present the company's business performance in real-time.

    "Since we went live last year, we have found NetSuite to be an excellent fit for the unique needs of the sports marketing industry, and superior to what we had before," said Holly Winkler, Vice President, Accounting, Wasserman Media Group, LLC. "NetSuite makes it very easy to research transactions, compile financial results and perform simple-yet-complex tasks such as routing expense reports for approval and billing clients for direct costs. With NetSuite, we can track our accounting and financial transactions by projects, departments, and athletes and report on specific financial results in each category.

    "NetSuite's customization capabilities are also superior to anything we've ever had before," Winkler continued. "We have a complex and automated commissions management system for our vendors set up in NetSuite, via the Partner Center. Lastly, we have been extremely happy with the excellent customer service provided by NetSuite's team. We envision doing even more with our NetSuite system in the future, particularly in the area of CRM."

    Sikorsky H-53 Helicopter, After Many Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) and Other Missions, Inducted into United States Air Force National Museum

    STRATFORD, Conn., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- A battle-proven and time-tested Sikorsky Aircraft H-53 helicopter that accomplished Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) and other demanding missions during the past several decades has been inducted into the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. Sikorsky Aircraft is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. .

    "Sikorsky Aircraft has the longest and most successful record of any helicopter company in history when it comes to combat search and rescue, starting in 1944 with the R-4 aircraft and continuing with the H-53 family," said Mike Farage, Director of Air Force Programs for Sikorsky Aircraft. "We are proud that the Air Force has recognized this legacy with the induction of this aircraft."

    The CH-53 and its variants, the HH-53 Jolly Green Giant and the MH-53 PAVE LOW, came into service in 1967 and since then have served in some of the toughest missions. In addition to combat search and rescue, these missions include armed assault, heavy-lift and troop transport. Sikorsky is currently developing the next generation heavy-lift, the CH-53K, for the U.S. Marine Corps, and also has introduced the H-92(TM) helicopter, which is currently competing for the U.S. Air Force's Combat Search and Rescue platform. "The H- 92 helicopter is the culmination of all we've learned about combat search and rescue technology since World War II, which comprises an immense amount of knowledge and experience," said John Pacelli, Vice President and Business Acquisition Manager for CSAR-X.

    During the July 7 induction ceremony, Lt. Gen. Donny Wurster, Commander of the Air Force Special Operations Command and former MH-53 pilot, said, "The H-53 fleet has logged countless combat hours, flown in every contingency in the last 40 years and met the needs of national objectives time and time again."

    He added, "The machines have seen a couple of generations of these people come and go, and always they remain ... the enduring posture to respond to the nation's call when needed."

    The H-53 fleet has flown on 13 missions that earned the Air Force Cross, the second-highest military decoration awarded to a member of the Air Force, and on missions that resulted in the presentation of 140 Silver Star awards, the third-highest military decoration awarded to a member of any branch of the U.S. armed forces.

    "The distinguished record of the fleet is a testament to the people behind the aircraft -- the designers and engineers who developed the proven and reliable technology, the people who worked the line constructing the fleet, and the crews who have maintained it," Farage said.

    The H-53 and its variants were used extensively during the last four decades to perform special operations and rescue of combat personnel. From the recovery of prisoners of war and downed airmen during the Vietnam War to the daring missions performed during Operation Desert Storm, including the first successful combat rescue of a downed pilot, the aircraft have repeatedly proven their capability.

    The representative aircraft inducted into the U.S. Air Force Museum was known for its ability to sustain damage and keep flying. It served as the command and control helicopter in the rescue attempt of American prisoners from the Son Tay prison camp in North Vietnam in 1970. For the mission, the crew received an Air Force Cross and four Silver Star decorations.

    The aircraft, tail number 68-10357, operated for 38 years, often surmounting great odds to bring its crews home safely. It completed its final mission on March 28, 2008, in Iraq. The remaining MH-53s will retire by Sept. 30.

    "Even with the retirement of aircraft 68-10357 and the remaining Air Force contingent of CH-53 helicopters, more than 360 H-53 variants will remain flying, still proudly serving the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, as well as the armed forces of Germany, Japan, and Israel," said Mark Cherry, Vice President, Marine Corps Programs for Sikorsky. "And we are proud of the fact that we are writing the next chapter in the legacy of the CH-53 platform, the CH-53K helicopter."

    Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., based in Stratford, Conn., is a world leader in helicopter design, manufacture, and service. The company's long commitment to safety and innovation is reflected in its mission statement: "We pioneer flight solutions that bring people home everywhere... every time(TM)." United Technologies Corp., based in Hartford, Conn., provides a broad range of high- technology products and support services to the aerospace and building systems industries.
