View the full release here: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20170731006143/en/ Key highlights for Dex Media Holdings, Inc. (these are provided on a standalone basis and do not include results of YP Holdings LLC):
"Dex is an ideal platform to acquire YP," said Joe Walsh, DexYP CEO and president. "We have found efficiency in simplifying our operations; this can be seen in the Dex YTD margins. "As we bring YP's customers onto the streamlined Dex platform there will be many benefits, both in cost savings and in revenue opportunity." "The YP sales organization is anxious to be able to offer our local business automation software, Thryv. This enables them to be much more productive offering a unique solution for real problems faced by independent business owners and reduces their reliance on commoditized digital advertising products."
Also provided on a pro forma basis are DexYP Combined and YP Holdings standalone results. DexYP Combined and YP Holdings are presented as if the acquisition had occurred prior to January 1, 2016 and excludes the impact of acquisition accounting, as required by U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Pro forma EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other non-recurring items, including acquisition/transaction fees, capital restructuring costs, business transformation costs, reorganization items and severance costs. Adjusted Pro forma EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted Pro forma EBITDA by Pro forma Net Revenue. Pro forma adjusted results do not necessarily reflect what the underlying operational or financial performance of DexYP would have been had the Dex Media/YP transaction been consummated prior to January 1, 2016.

Basis of Presentation and Non-GAAP Financial Measures The financial information accompanying this release provides a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP and adjusted pro forma non-GAAP results. Dex Media believes that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of its current financial performance. Specifically, Dex Media believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to management and investors by excluding certain nonrecurring items that Dex Media believes are not indicative of its core operating results. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring Dex Media's performance, and Dex Media believes that non-GAAP results provide investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal financial measurement processes.

You should not place undue reliance on these statements, as they are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations with respect to our financial performance and future events with respect to our business and industry in general. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to, the risks related to the following: the Company's ability to maintain adequate liquidity to fund operations; the Company's future operating and financial performance; limitations on our operating and strategic flexibility and the ability to operate our business, finance our capital needs or expand business strategies under the terms of our credit facilities; our ability to retain existing business and obtain and retain new business; general economic or business conditions affecting the markets we serve; declining use of print yellow page directories by consumers; our ability to collect trade receivables from clients to whom we extend credit; credit risk associated with our reliance on small and medium sized businesses as clients; our ability to attract and retain key managers; increased competition in our markets; our ability to obtain future financing due to changes in the lending markets or our financial position; our ability to maintain agreements with major Internet search and local media companies; reduced advertising spending and increased contract cancellations by our clients, which causes reduced revenue; and, our ability to anticipate or respond effectively to changes in technology and consumer preferences; and our ability to successfully integrate the YP business with the Company's business. With respect to the acquisition, important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements and projections included herein, including, but not limited to: the risk that anticipated cost savings, growth opportunities and other financial and operating benefits as a result of the transaction may not be realized or may take longer to realize than expected, the risk that benefits from the transaction may be significantly offset by costs incurred in integrating the companies, including, coordinating geographically separate organizations, integrating business cultures, which could prove to be incompatible, difficulties and costs of integrating information technology systems; and the potential difficulty in retaining key officers and personnel. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by such cautionary statements. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. All forward-looking statements included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements.
