180 CONNECT INC. ANNOUNCES 2007 YEAR END RESULTS
Revenue increases to a record $380 million, representing a 15% increase from the
Prior Year
 
Toronto, Ontario and Englewood, CO — March 31, 2008 — 180 Connect Inc. (“180 Connect” or the “Company”) (OTCBB: CNCT.OB, CNCTU.OB, CNCTW.OB), one of North America’s largest providers of installation, integration and fulfillment services to the home entertainment, communication, and home integration service industries, today released its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Certain information contained in this news release constitutes forward-looking information, including anticipated growth and financial performance. See “Forward-Looking Information”.
Selected Financial Highlights — Year Ended December 31, 2007
For the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2006:
Year to Date Highlights
    Revenue grew to $379.8 million, an increase of $48.6 million, or 14.7%, compared to revenue of $331.2 million in 2006.
 
    EBITDA from continuing operations (2) was $19.3 million, an increase of $5.8 million or 42.8% compared to $13.5 million in 2006.
 
    Total cash provided by operating activities was $1.5 million, a decrease of $4.8 million from the cash provided by operating activities of $6.3 million in 2006.
 
    Loss from continuing operations was $22.9 million, an increase of $14.1 million compared to a loss from continuing operations of $8.8 million in 2006.
 
    Net loss was $24.9 million, an increase of $10.3 million compared to a net loss of $14.6 million in 2006.
 
    Net loss per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, is as follows:
    Loss from continuing operations was $1.20 per share basic and diluted compared to a loss from continuing operations of $0.60 per share basic and diluted in 2006.
 
    Net loss was $1.30 per share basic and diluted compared to net loss of $1.00 per share basic and diluted in 2006.
Peter Giacalone, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated;
“2007 was a significant and successful year for 180 Connect. The management team was highly focused on the improving margins and rebuilding shareholder confidence in the organization. Major initiatives included the

1


 

significant capital raise through completing the merger with Ad Venture Partners, expanding and strengthening our relationship with our major customers, and streamlining of the systems and processes of control and management. Our employees continue to deliver some of the best quality and consumer satisfaction metrics in the industry despite the challenges of weather and geography.
180 Connect’s team delivered a 43% increase in EBITDA on 15% revenue growth, year over year, with a strong focus on cash management and delivery. We are also very pleased to note that DIRECTV was ranked “Highest in Customer Satisfaction among Satellite/Cable TV Subscribers” in the southern, western and eastern regions of the United States, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2007 Residential Cable/Satellite TV Customer Satisfaction Study. As 180 Connect is the primary service provider for DIRECTV’s western region, I believe that the award reflects our commitment and ability to deliver exceptional customer service.”
2007 Highlights
2007 financial results were strong as the Company achieved significant revenue growth and record EBITDA from continuing operations(2). Revenue for 2007 increased to $380 million, from $331 million in 2006. This 15% increase reflects across-the-board volume increases in satellite and cable and also includes contribution from 180 Network Services and Digital Interiors — Home businesses. DIRECTV volume increased 15% year over year, as they not only continue to channel more work through the Home Service Provider Network, but also continue to sell more advanced product. Cable revenues increased 10% year over year as the Company continued to benefit from its investments in its cable workforce and significant growth in the Company’s Canadian operations with Rogers Communications which increased by 60%.
180 Connect’s Network Services business reported modest top line growth in 2007 as certain municipal fiber projects originally forecast to contribute in 2007 have been deferred to 2008 as a result of delays in financing associated with the current credit markets. The Company remains cautiously optimistic that this business will provide meaningful contributions in 2008, with the focus on its several fiber-to-the-home private developments. The Company remains confident in the long term growth prospects for this business and is pleased to announce an award for a $2 million airport project with the City of San Jose, CA.
The pace of growth in 180 Connect’s Home business was moderate as a result of the slowdown in the production home housing market. The Company will continue to monitor this business closely and has already begun the process of focussing its efforts on the higher end custom home and multi-dwelling unit market which has remained fairly steady despite the deterioration in the broader housing market. Long term, in-home technology remains an increasingly important factor in home buying decisions, and we believe this will continue to support the growth of the business, particularly in the higher end segment of the housing market.
Earnings performance for 2007 was the strongest in the history of the Company. EBITDA from continuing operations was $20.1 million for 2007 excluding stock based compensation expense of $0.9 million, an increase of $6.6 million or 48% year over year. On an adjusted basis excluding US listing costs, restructuring charges and stock based compensation expense, EBITDA from continuing operations was $21.3 million for 2007, an increase of 47% year over year. These results were primarily attributable to underlying operational improvements implemented in streamlining the Company’s management team, reduced insurance costs, improved inventory process and controls coupled with volume increases. General and Administrative costs declined despite the 15% increase in revenue. General and Administrative costs excluding stock-based compensation as a percentage of revenue declined to 4.8% in 2007 from 5.9% in 2006 as a result of more stringent approval processes and reductions in legal and professional fees. Both reported and adjusted EBITDA were negatively impacted by approximately $0.4 million of earnings related to the closure of a Networks Services operation during the fourth quarter, now reported within discontinued operations.

Looking Forward
The Company set out last fall to refinance its existing debt in an effort to supplement its liquidity and lower its borrowing costs. While the Company continues to monitor the deteriorating debt markets, it has been able to manage its seasonal working capital needs by lowering its costs, working with its vendors, reducing customer chargebacks, focusing on collecting receivables and most recently, negotiating a reduction in its required letter of credit for its insurance obligations, freeing up its restricted cash. As such, the Company has not pursued any of the term loan proposals received to date largely due to the impact of increasing the cost of capital and the requirement to issue significant additional equity. The Company believes that its effective cash management performance will remain on track and is not currently in the market for additional financing.
Over the past 12 months 180 Connect has experienced significant growth. While the Company believes it has been successful in achieving many of its goals and positioning itself to become a dominant sector player, these efforts are not, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, being appropriately valued by the public markets. As such, the Board of Directors of 180 Connect has appointed a Special Committee comprised of independent directors of the Board, with a mandate to consider and review strategic alternatives for the Company, including transaction proposals that have or may be received from time to time. The Special Committee has retained investment bankers to assist in this process and is considering a number of alternatives to improve shareholder value. The Board of Directors has not set any deadline for completing the review of its strategic options and may ultimately determine that its current business plan is the best means to build and deliver shareholder value.

A copy of the annual audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 is attached to this news release. The Company will be releasing its year end report on March 31, 2008 which will be available on EDGAR and the Company’s website. Additional information relating to the Company is available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml, on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at www.180connect.net.
Non-GAAP Measures:
  (1)   The term “Direct Contribution Margin” consists of revenue less direct expenses and excludes general and administrative expense, foreign exchange loss (gain), (gain) loss in sale of investments and assets, depreciation, amortization of customer contracts, interest and loan costs, (gain) loss on change on fair value of derivative liabilities, gain on extinguishment of debt, other expense, and income tax expense (benefit). DCM, as referred to in this news release, is a non-GAAP measure which does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that this term provides a better assessment of the contribution of the field operations dealing directly with its customers’ subscribers by eliminating: (1) the general and administrative costs that are not part of the direct costs of generating revenue; (2) the charge for customer contracts and depreciation which are non-cash expense items; and (3) (gain) loss on sale of investments and assets, (gain) loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities, gain on extinguishment of debt, and other expense, which are not considered to be in the normal course of operating activity. Investors should be cautioned, however, that DCM should not be construed as an alternative to income (loss) from continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Company’s performance.

Net loss from continuing operations
  $ (22,903,293 )   $ (8,826,038 )
 
           
  (2)   The term “EBITDA from continuing operations” refers to loss from continuing operations before deducting depreciation, amortization of customer contracts, (gain) loss in sale of investments and assets, interest and loan fees, (gain) loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities, gain on extinguishment of debt, other expense, and income tax expense (benefit). EBITDA from continuing operations, as referred to in this news release, is a non-GAAP measure which does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that EBITDA from continuing operations provides a better assessment of cash flow from the operations of the Company by eliminating: (1) the charge for depreciation, and amortization of customer contracts which are non-cash expense items and (2) (gain) loss on sale of assets, (gain) loss on change in fair market value of derivative liabilities, gain on extinguishment of debt, and other expense, which are not considered to be in the normal course of operating activity. In addition, financial analysts and investors use a multiple of EBITDA from continuing operations for valuing companies within the same sector, in order to eliminate the differences in accounting treatment from one company to the next. Given that the Company is in a growth stage, management believes the focus on EBITDA from continuing operations gives the investor or reader of the consolidated financial statements and MD&A more insight into the operating capabilities of management and its utilization of its operating assets. Management further believes that EBITDA from continuing operations is also the best metric for measuring valuation. Investors should be cautioned, however, that EBITDA from continuing operations should not be construed as an alternative to income (loss) from continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Company’s performance.
