"We delivered on our financial guidance for the third quarter as we continued to proactively manage our business through the current economic environment," said Scott C. Petersen, LodgeNet Chairman and CEO. "Our strategic initiatives, focused on cost control and diversified revenue growth, are continuing to drive free cash flow and improvement in our profitability metrics. As a result, year-to-date income from operations is up more than 180% and free cash flow has expanded by more than 360% as compared to the first three quarters of 2008."

Third Quarter strategic highlights include:

    --  Diversified Revenue Initiatives: revenue up 8% to $44.8 million -
        equaled 37% of total revenue in the quarter - related gross profit up
        30%.
    --  Operating Expenses: reduced 20% to $22 million, compared to $27.4
        million in 2008.
    --  Capital Investment Activity: reduced by 69% to $4.5 million, compared to
        $14.7 million in 2008.
    --  Income from Operations: up 15% to $5.3 million, compared to $4.6 million
        in 2008.
    --  Adjusted Operating Cash Flow*: $30.0 million in the quarter, down from
        $34.6 million in the prior quarter.

    --  Free Cash Flow**: increased to $16.1 million this quarter, compared to
        $6.2 million in 2008.

"We continue to take a conservative approach in the management of our balance sheet," said Gary H. Ritondaro, LodgeNet's Chief Financial Officer. "In the quarter we decreased long-term debt by over $54 million and enhanced our debt and interest coverage leverage ratios; yet, we still had more than $26 million in cash at quarter's end. Our operating and cost initiatives are driven by our focus on increasing free cash flow, which we will continue to utilize primarily for debt reduction in the near term. Based on our current cash position and the cash being generated by our business, we believe we are well positioned to continue maintaining compliance with our credit facility."

"We did see some signs of improvement in Guest Entertainment revenue during the quarter, but business travel and capital spending by our hotel customers continues to be soft," continued Petersen. "With our strategic acquisitions in 2007 and the more efficient operational structure we now have in place, our business model has significant operating leverage which should produce benefits as hotel occupancies increase and consumer confidence returns. However, because the economic environment remains uncertain, we will continue to take a conservative approach to operating our business pending the economic recovery."


                                 RESULTS FROM OPERATIONS
                       THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 VERSUS
                          THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2009 was $121.1 million, a decrease of $14.2 million or 10.5%, compared to the same period of 2008. The decrease in revenue was primarily from Guest Entertainment services, which was offset, in part, by revenue increases from Hotel Services, and System Sales and Related Services.

Hospitality revenue, which includes Guest Entertainment, Hotel Services, and System Sales and Related Services, decreased $14.2 million or 10.7%, to $118.3 million for the third quarter of 2009 as compared to $132.5 million for the prior year quarter. Due to continued softness in the travel economy, hotel occupancy declined by 7.6% during the third quarter 2009 compared to the same period last year. Average monthly Hospitality revenue per room was $21.70 for the third quarter of 2009, a decrease of 8.8% as compared to $23.79 per room in the third quarter of 2008.

Guest Entertainment revenue, which includes on-demand entertainment such as movies, games, music and other services delivered through the television, declined $17.4 million or 18.6%, to $76.4 million in the third quarter of 2009 versus the third quarter of 2008. Impacted by the 7.6% decline in occupancy and a conservative consumer buying pattern, average monthly Guest Entertainment revenue per room decreased 16.9% to $14.01 for the third quarter of 2009 compared to $16.85 for the third quarter of 2008. The decline during the third quarter was less than the decline during the first and second quarter of 2009, which had decreases of 23.0% and 20.4% respectively. Average monthly movie revenue per room was $13.11 for the third quarter of 2009, a 16.2% reduction as compared to $15.65 per room in the prior year quarter.

Hotel Services revenue, which includes revenue paid by hotels for television programming and broadband Internet service and support, increased $1.9 million or 6.2%, to $32.6 million in the third quarter of 2009 versus $30.7 million for the third quarter of 2008. On a per-room basis, monthly Hotel Services revenue for the third quarter of 2009 increased 8.3% to $5.98 compared to $5.52 for the third quarter of 2008. Monthly television programming revenue per room increased 9.7% to $5.45 for the third quarter of 2009 as compared to $4.97 for the third quarter of 2008. This increase resulted primarily from the continued installation of high definition television systems and related TV programming services. Recurring broadband Internet revenue per room decreased to $0.51 for the third quarter of 2009 compared to $0.53 for the same period of 2008.

System Sales and Related Services revenue, including sales of broadband Internet equipment, TV programming reception equipment, Internet conference services and HDTV installations services to hotels, increased $1.4 million or 17.1%, to $9.3 million during the third quarter of 2009 compared to $7.9 million in the third quarter of 2008. TV programming system sales accounted for $1.2 million of the growth and the balance was derived from sales of equipment and professional services to hotels.

Other Revenue, including the sale of interactive systems and services to Healthcare facilities and revenue from Advertising and Media Services, was $2.8 million for both periods. Healthcare revenue was $1.2 million while Advertising and Media revenue remained stable at $1.6 million, despite the continued softness in the general economy.

Total direct costs (exclusive of operating expenses and depreciation and amortization discussed separately below) decreased 6.3% or $4.7 million, to $69.3 million in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to $74.0 million in the third quarter of 2008. The decrease in total direct costs was primarily due to decreased commissions and royalties of $5.5 million, which vary with revenue, and a reduction in recurring connectivity and other Internet support costs of $1.7 million, as a result of our cost reduction initiatives. Partially offsetting the reductions were increases to incremental system sales, equipment, and service costs of $1.4 million and incremental TV programming costs of $1.5 million, which varies with the number of rooms served and the services provided. Total direct costs as a percentage of revenue were 57.3% this quarter as compared to 54.7% reported for the third quarter of 2008. The percentage increase resulted from a change in the composition of our revenue and product mix, quarter over quarter, primarily from the increased percentage of revenue generated by TV programming and system sales, which generally have a lower margin than Guest Entertainment revenues.

System Operations expenses decreased $4.0 million or 27.1%, to $10.9 million in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to $14.9 million in the third quarter of 2008. The decrease resulted from the synergies derived from the consolidation of the acquired On Command operations, our expense reduction initiatives implemented during 2008 and 2009, lower system service facilities, and fuel costs. As a percentage of revenue, System Operations expenses were 9.0% this quarter as compared to 11.0% in the third quarter of 2008. Per average installed room, System Operations expenses decreased 25.5% to $1.99 per room per month compared to $2.67 in the prior year quarter.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased $1.3 million or 10.4%, to $11.2 million in the current quarter as compared to $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2008. This decrease also resulted from achieving the expected synergies related to the consolidation of duplicative SG&A functions from our acquisitions and our expense reduction initiatives implemented during 2008 and 2009. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses were flat at 9.2% in the current quarter as compared to the third quarter of 2008. SG&A expenses per average installed room decreased 8.5% to $2.05 as compared to $2.24 in the third quarter of 2008.

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $4.8 million to $24.2 million in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to $29.0 million in the third quarter of 2008. The decline was due to assets becoming fully depreciated and the reduction in capital investments over the last two years. The current quarter's depreciation and amortization expenses included $2.2 million of expense related to the amortization of acquired intangibles from the acquisition of StayOnline and On Command versus $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2008. As a percentage of revenue, total depreciation and amortization expenses were 20.0% in the third quarter of 2009 versus 21.4% in the third quarter of 2008.

As a result of factors previously described, operating income increased 14.5% or $0.7 million, to $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2008. Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, a non-GAAP measure which we define as operating income exclusive of depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, impairment, restructuring, integration and reorganization expenses and the effects of insurance recoveries, was $30.0 million for the third quarter of 2009 as compared to $34.6 million in the third quarter of 2008.

Interest expense was $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2009 versus $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2008. The decrease resulted primarily from the change in weighted average long-term debt, which decreased to $521.3 million during the third quarter of 2009 from $615.2 million in the third quarter of 2008. The weighted average interest rate during the third quarter of 2009 was 7.24% versus 6.85% for the third quarter 2008. Interest expense for the third quarter of 2009 included $91,000 related to the unrealized loss on an interest rate swap.

Net loss for the quarter was $(5.0) million compared to a net loss of $(6.3) million for the third quarter of 2008. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $(6.6) million for the third quarter of 2009, compared to a net loss of $(6.3) million in the prior year quarter. Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders was $(0.30) for the third quarter of 2009 (basic and diluted) compared to $(0.28) (basic and diluted) in the third quarter of 2008.

For the third quarter of 2009, cash provided by operating activities was $20.6 million as compared to $20.9 million in the third quarter of 2008. Cash used for property and equipment additions, including growth related capital, was $4.5 million. In July, we utilized $27.7 million of the proceeds from the sale of the convertible preferred stock to repay a portion of the Term B as required. In September, we made the required Term B quarterly payment of $1.4 million and also made an optional payment of $25.0 million. For the third quarter of 2008, cash used for property and equipment additions, including growth-related capital and other investing activities, was $14.7 million. During the third quarter of 2008, we made the required Term B repayment of $1.6 million and made an optional payment of $5.0 million against the Term B portion of the Credit Facility. The leverage ratio at the end of this quarter, calculated on a consolidated debt basis, was 3.92 times versus the covenant of 4.00 times. Cash as of September 30, 2009 was $26.1 million.

During the quarter, we continued with our proactive plan to moderate capital investment. For the third quarter of 2009, we installed 4,748 new rooms and converted 6,692 rooms to our HD and digital platforms as compared to 15,004 new rooms and 12,992 converted rooms during the third quarter of 2008. New HD installations comprised 4,641, or 97.7%, of new systems installed in the current quarter, as compared to 13,574, or 90.5%, of new rooms, in the third quarter of 2008. During the quarter, we also converted 6,487 rooms, or 96.9%, to HD as compared to 12,732, or 98.0%, of converted rooms in the third quarter of 2008. The average investment per newly-installed HD room decreased to $237 per room during the third quarter of 2009, from $400 per room during the third quarter of 2008. Factors contributing to the $163 decline to our per room costs include: 1) larger average room size for properties installed, 2) lower allocated overhead costs, and 3) hotels contributing a greater share of total installation costs. The average investment per converted HD room also decreased, by 27.4%, to $217 during the third quarter of 2009, compared to $299 in the third quarter of 2008 due to the same general factors noted above.

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, and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP measures derived from results based on GAAP. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered superior to, in isolation of, or as a substitute for, results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted operating cash flow is a non-GAAP measure which we define as operating income (loss) exclusive of depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, impairment, restructuring, integration and reorganization expenses and the effects on insurance recoveries and equipment impairment included in Other Operating Income. 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, reorganization 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.
