     “While the macroeconomic environment was challenging during the quarter, the continued implementation of our strategic business plan generally offset those impacts, producing greater revenue, Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, and Adjusted Net Free Cash Flow as compared to last year,” said Scott C. Petersen, LodgeNet President and CEO. “Our growth initiatives focused on hotel services, advertising and the sale of interactive systems to hotels and healthcare facilities, generated revenue of $42.2 million during the quarter, an increase of 21% over the same period last year.”
     “Total and average monthly revenue per room increased quarter over quarter despite a 2.1% decrease in hotel occupancy,” said Gary H. Ritondaro, LodgeNet’s Chief Financial Officer. “Total revenue per room increased 0.8% to $24.65 with revenue from Hotel Services and System Sales, Advertising and Other increasing 19.2% to $7.56 per room. In the quarter we generated 30.7% of our total revenue per room from non-guest entertainment services, which reflects our ongoing efforts to expand and diversify our service offerings. Guest Entertainment revenue per room decreased 5.6% to $17.09. This reduction, we believe, reflects not only the lower occupancy rates, but also a less popular line-up of Hollywood movie titles and a very cautious consumer.”
     “We remained focused on realizing the operating synergies from the acquisitions we made last year and decreasing our per-room capital investment during the quarter as we managed our business to maximize our cash flows,” continued Ritondaro. “Total operating expenses per room were down 10.4% quarter over quarter. On an annualized basis, we are on track to realize $15.0 million in operating synergies. System operations expenses were $2.66 per room per month in the second quarter of 2008, as compared to $2.75 last year and SG&A represented only 9.9% of revenue in the second quarter of this year, as compared to 12.0% in the same period last year. Total capital expenditures, excluding work in progress, equaled $17.0 million during the quarter with the average capital investment per new high definition television room decreasing 11.5% and the average investment to convert an existing room to high definition decreasing 7.1%, as compared to the second quarter of 2007.”
     “We generated $12.4 million of Adjusted Net Free Cash Flow during the quarter, up from a negative $(1.0) million during the first quarter of 2008,” continued Ritondaro. “As a result, we were in a position to reduce our long-term debt by $13.6 million in the quarter. We ended the second quarter with a consolidated debt leverage ratio of 4.31 times total debt, a meaningful improvement over the 4.45 ratio that we had at the end of the first quarter.”
     “Given the current economic environment and especially its impact on Guest Entertainment revenues during the summer vacation season, we have adjusted our guidance for 2008,” said Ritondaro. “Presently, we anticipate less revenue and Adjusted Operating Cash Flow for the year than we expected when we originally issued our guidance in February. However, because we are proactively managing our capital investment plans, we are maintaining and reiterating our $30 million (or $1.35 per share) mid-point target for Adjusted Free Cash Flow for the year. With this level of cash flow, we plan to further reduce our debt levels during the balance of the year.”
     “During the second quarter, we unveiled a full suite of products and services that uniquely position us to continue to strengthen and broaden our relationships with the approximately 10,000 hotel properties we serve worldwide,” said Petersen. “We trust these opportunities will become increasingly important contributors to our financial performance. We are proactively managing our business to focus on our most promising growth opportunities, while we continue to delever our balance sheet.”
RESULTS FROM OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 VERSUS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007
     Total revenue for the second quarter of 2008 was $137.3 million, an increase of $2.4 million or 1.8%, compared to the second quarter of 2007. The growth in revenue was primarily driven by an increase in revenue from Hotel Services and System Sales. The average monthly total revenue per room increased 0.8% to $24.65 for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $24.45 for the second quarter of 2007.
     Guest Entertainment revenue, which includes on-demand entertainment such as movies, games, music, time-shifted television, Internet access through the television and sports programming, decreased $4.7 million or 4.7% to $95.2 million, impacted by lower occupancy, less popular Hollywood titles and a soft economic environment. Hotel room occupancy during the quarter was approximately 2.1% lower as compared to the second quarter of 2007. On a per-room basis, monthly Guest Entertainment revenue for the second quarter of 2008 declined 5.6% to $17.09 compared to $18.11 for the second quarter of 2007. Average monthly movie revenue per room was $15.80 for the second quarter of 2008, a 5.4% reduction as compared to $16.70 per room in the prior year quarter. Non-movie Guest Entertainment revenue per room decreased 8.5% to

 


 

LodgeNet Q2 2008 Earnings 3-3-3-3
$1.29 in the second quarter of 2008, driven primarily by reductions from games and TV Internet purchases, offset in part by increases in time-shifted television purchases.
     Hotel Services revenue, which includes revenue from hotels for television programming and broadband Internet service and support, increased $5.1 million or 20.3% to $30.1 million during the second quarter of 2008 versus $25.0 million in the second quarter of 2007. The increase in Hotel Services revenue more than offset the revenue decline of Guest Entertainment products. On a per-room basis, monthly Hotel Services revenue for the second quarter of 2008 increased 19.2% to $5.40 compared to $4.53 for the second quarter of 2007. Monthly television programming revenue per room increased 18.9% to $4.85 for the second quarter of 2008 as compared to $4.08 for the second quarter of 2007. This increase resulted primarily from the continued installation of high definition television systems and related services. Recurring broadband revenue per room increased 22.2% to $0.55 for the second quarter of 2008 as compared to $0.45 for the second quarter of 2007.
     System Sales, Advertising, and Other Revenue, which includes sales of broadband, healthcare and other interactive systems, and advertising and media services, increased $2.1 million, or 20.7%, to $12.1 million during second quarter of 2008 versus $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2007. On a per-room basis, monthly System Sales, Advertising and Other revenue increased 19.3% to $2.16 for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $1.81 for the second quarter of 2007. The increase in revenue resulted primarily from an increase in systems and equipment sales to healthcare facilities and other equipment and services to hotels.
     Total direct costs (exclusive of operating expenses and depreciation and amortization discussed separately below) increased $4.3 million to $73.2 million in the second quarter of 2008 as compared to $68.9 million in the second quarter of 2007. The increase in total direct costs was primarily due to increased revenue from cable programming and recurring broadband Internet services and system sales. For the second quarter of 2008, direct costs as a percentage of related revenue increased for games, TV Internet and system sales offset by decreases in costs related to movies, time-shifted television and cable programming services. Total direct costs as a percentage of revenue were 53.3% as compared to 51.1% reported for the second quarter of 2007.
     System operations expenses decreased 2.4% to $14.8 million in the second quarter of 2008 as compared to $15.2 million in the second quarter of 2007. As a percentage of revenue, system operations expenses were 10.8% this quarter as compared to 11.3% in the second quarter of 2007. Per average installed room, system operations expenses decreased 3.3% to $2.66 per room per month compared to $2.75 in the prior year quarter.
     Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 16.3%, from $16.2 million in the second quarter of 2007 to $13.6 million in the current quarter. This decrease is a result of achieving the expected synergies from our post-merger consolidation of certain duplicative general and administrative expenses. Included within this quarter’s SG&A expenses were $238,000 of integration costs, compared to integration costs of $201,000 included in the prior year quarter. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses were 9.9% (9.7% excluding integration expenses) in the current quarter compared to 12.0% (11.9% excluding integration expenses) in the second quarter of 2007. SG&A expenses per average installed room decreased 17.1% to $2.44 ($2.39 excluding integration expenses) as compared to $2.94 ($2.90 excluding integration expenses) in the second quarter of 2007.
     Depreciation and amortization expenses were $32.5 million in the second quarter of 2008. The depreciation and amortization expenses included $2.6 million of expense related to the amortization of acquired intangibles from the acquisition of StayOnline and On Command. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization expenses were 23.7% in the second quarter of 2008 as compared to 24.9% in the second quarter of 2007.
     For the second quarter of 2008, we incurred restructuring costs of $817,000 associated with our post merger integration activities. The restructuring expenses were primarily related to employee severance costs for the remaining administrative functions and the consolidation of our Denver offices and corporate systems infrastructure.
     Interest expense was $10.5 million in the current quarter versus $11.6 million in the second quarter of 2007. The decrease resulted from the change in weighted average long-term debt, which decreased to $623.1 million during the second quarter of 2008 from $627.7 million in the second quarter of 2007. The annualized interest rate decreased to 6.7% for the second quarter of 2008 versus 7.4% for the second quarter 2007.

Special Note Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
     To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we use adjusted operating cash flow, adjusted net loss, net free cash flow, and adjusted net free cash flow, which are non-GAAP measures derived from results based on GAAP.

     Adjusted operating cash flow is a non-GAAP measure which we define as operating (loss) income exclusive of depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation and restructuring and integration expenses and the effects on insurance recoveries and equipment impairment included in Other Operating Income. Adjusted net loss is a non-GAAP measure which we define as net loss exclusive of amortization of purchased intangibles, debt refinancing, restructuring charges and integration expenses. We define net free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, as cash provided by operating activities less cash used for certain investing activities and excluding consideration paid for acquisitions. Adjusted net free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net free cash flow, as defined above, and further excludes the effect of cash consideration paid for acquisitions, debt tender, and integration and restructuring activities. These non-GAAP measures are key liquidity indicators but should not be construed as an alternative to GAAP measures or as a measure of our profitability or performance. We provide information about these measures because we believe it is a useful way for us, and our investors, to measure our ability to satisfy cash needs, including one-time charges such as restructuring or integration, interest payments on our debt, taxes and capital expenditures. Our method of computing these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
