ShopNBC Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2007 Results
MINNEAPOLIS, MN — March 25, 2008: ShopNBC (NASDAQ: VVTV), a 24-hour TV shopping network, today announced results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year-ended February 2, 2008.
Financial Highlights
The Company’s fourth quarter revenues were $218 million, an increase of 1% over last year. Fourth quarter EBITDA, as adjusted, was $5.4 million compared to EBITDA, as adjusted, of $8.1 million in the same year-ago quarter. Net loss for the quarter was ($0.8) million compared to net income of $3.5 million for the same quarter last year.
Net sales for fiscal 2007 were $782 million, an increase of 2% over the previous year. The Company’s full year EBITDA, as adjusted, was $6.9 million, compared to an EBITDA, as adjusted, of $14.7 million last year. For the fiscal year, the Company recorded net income of $22.5 million compared to a net loss of ($2.4) million in the prior year.
Business Highlights
  Recruited and hired our new CEO, Rene Aiu, who has extensive industry knowledge and a proven track record of leadership and success in TV shopping. A 22-year veteran of the home shopping arena, she comes to the network having served as CEO of Jupiter Shop Channel Japan and prior to that as a Senior Vice President of HSN.
  Successfully partnered with Alvarez & Marsal to conduct a complete business review. As a result, the Company’s organizational structure was streamlined including a 10% salaried workforce reduction.
  Repurchased 1.9 million shares during the quarter at an average price of $5.81/share. Our balance sheet remains strong with $85 million in cash and securities.
  Internet sales grew 12% in the fourth quarter and represented 31% of merchandise sales.
  Introduced new product lines including home products designer Christopher Lowell and collectable coin dealer Silver Towne, which has a 20-year history in home shopping.
“We made commitments to you, our shareholders, at the outset of the fourth quarter and delivered against them in a time without a permanent CEO and in a period of transition at our company,” said ShopNBC Executive Chairman of the Board John Buck. “While I am generally pleased with our operating performance in the fourth quarter, I am disappointed with the performance of our stock, which is why the Board authorized an additional $10 million in funding for our share repurchase program. What I am most excited about is the arrival of our new CEO Rene Aiu and the experience and vision she brings to our company.”
Added Rene Aiu, CEO of ShopNBC, “This is an exciting time for me and for the company. I’m encouraged by what I’ve seen so far and the opportunity within. I look forward to working with our employees, vendors and shareholders as we improve the performance of our company and build long term shareholder value.”

EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted
The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations for the respective periods excluding depreciation and amortization expense, interest income (expense) and income taxes. The Company defines EBITDA, as adjusted, as EBITDA excluding non-recurring non-operating gains (losses) and equity in income of Ralph Lauren Media, LLC; non-recurring restructuring and CEO transition costs; and non-cash share-based payment expense. Management has included the term EBITDA, as adjusted, in order to adequately assess the operating performance of the Company’s “core” television and Internet businesses and in order to maintain comparability to its analyst’s coverage and financial guidance. Management believes that EBITDA, as adjusted, allows investors to make a more meaningful comparison between our core business operating results over different periods of time with those of other similar small cap, higher growth companies. In addition, management uses EBITDA, as adjusted, as a metric measure to evaluate operating performance under its management and executive incentive compensation programs. EBITDA, as adjusted, should not be construed as an alternative to operating income (loss) or to cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be construed as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA, as adjusted, may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.
