NWMO New Motion (MM)

New Motion, Inc., doing business as Atrinsic, (NASDAQ:NWMO), a premier online and mobile marketing services company, announced today that revenues for the third quarter of 2008 were $30.8 million compared with $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2007, an increase of 193%. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $91.0 million and $23.0 million, an increase of 295%. The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to the Company�s merger with Traffix, Inc., which was consummated on February 4, 2008, that added $20.0 and $57.1 million in revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008. The Company continues to leverage the benefits of its cross media Internet and Mobile platforms, vertically integrate its proprietary content and online distribution network, and diversify its revenues with new service offerings. For the third quarter of 2008, on a comparable basis, the Company experienced a 3.0% increase in revenues derived from its mobile offerings and a 100% increase in revenues from its online service offerings as a result of the Traffix acquisition, effective February 4, 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, revenues derived from mobile and online service offerings increased 47.0% and 100%, respectively. Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2008 were $9.8 million compared with operating expenses of $11.2 million in the third quarter of 2007, a decrease of approximately $1.4 million, primarily attributable to efficiencies gained through post merger integration, decreased discretionary Selling & Marketing expenses, a reduction in non cash equity based compensation, partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization. The Company is continuing to achieve the anticipated $4.1 million efficiencies gained from the merger while simultaneously developing an appropriate infrastructure to support anticipated growth. In addition, the Company is carefully monitoring its performance expectations and market conditions relative to its discretionary customer acquisition and lead generation activities. Net loss for the third quarter of 2008 was ($6.0) thousand ($0.00 per basic and diluted earnings per share) compared with a net loss of ($1.9) million for the third quarter of 2007 (($0.16) per basic and diluted loss per share). Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $0.8 million ($0.04 per basic and diluted earnings per share) compared with a net loss of ($3.2) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 (($0.29) per basic and diluted loss per share). As of September 30, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $21.9 million, marketable securities of approximately $7.9 million coupled with significant working capital to support future growth, business development initiatives, and capital activities. The Company repurchased 387,072, and 619,372 shares of Common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 at a cost of approximately $2.6 million pursuant to its stock repurchase program previously announced on April 9, 2008. To date, since inception of the plan, the company has repurchased 1,695,325 shares at a cost of approximately $3.7 million. Non-GAAP1 Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2008 was $1.0 million as compared with $(1.7) million loss for the third quarter of 2007. On a non-GAAP per diluted share basis, Adjusted EBITDA per share for the third quarter of 2008 was $0.05 as compared to ($0.15) for the third quarter of 2007. Company Goals During 2008, the Company consummated two significant business combinations and taken significant actions to maximize the efficiencies related to those transactions. In addition, management has reduced operating expenses, launched numerous operational initiatives, and continues to monitor the marketplace for additional opportunities. The nature, timing, and magnitude of future activities will depend on, among other things, operating performance, post merger integration activities, and market conditions. Management continuously seeks to build long term shareholder value by prudently deploying capital with expectations for an anticipated risk adjusted return. Management will continue to identify, and execute, additional strategic initiatives, however, as a result of market conditions, there are limited opportunities that meet our investment criteria. We currently do not expect to consummate additional business combinations during 2008. In addition, the Company is committed to capital preservation and continuing to generate positive cash flows and expects to finish 2008 with sufficient capital resources enabling continued development and growth into the future. The Company continues to execute on its long term strategic plans; however, the near term business climate, volatile pricing trends, limited or unstable demand, (particularly in the financial services and retail sectors) and uncertainties in discretionary consumer spending patterns will negatively impact our operating performance. Despite these challenges, management remains committed to reducing discretionary operating expenses and reevaluating new initiatives in order to preserve operating margins and generate positive cash flow. 1 All non-GAAP amounts have been adjusted from comparable GAAP measures. A description of all adjustments and reconciliations to comparable GAAP measures for all periods presented are included within this communication. About New Motion, Inc.

All information in this release is as of August 14, 2008. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements to conform to actual results or changes in the Company�s expectations. Supplemental Disclosure regarding Non-GAAP Measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA The following tables set forth the Company�s EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine month periods ended September�30, 2008 and 2007. The Company defines �EBITDA� and �Adjusted EBITDA� as net income adjusted to exclude the following line items presented in its Statement of Operations: income taxes; interest expense, interest and dividend income, net, minority interest, depreciation and amortization, and in the case of Adjusted EBITDA non-cash equity based compensation. While this non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (�GAAP�) measure has been relabeled to more accurately describe in the title the method of calculation of the measure, the actual method of calculating the measure is presented below. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, among other things, and possibly with additional adjustments, to evaluate the Company�s operating performance, to value prospective acquisitions, and as one of several components of incentive compensation targets for certain management personnel, and this measure is among the primary measures used by management for planning and forecasting of future periods. This measure is an important indicator of the Company�s operational strength and performance of its business because it provides one of several links between profitability and operating cash flow. The Company believes the presentation of this measure is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by the Company�s management, helps improve their ability to understand the Company�s operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Company�s results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. In addition, it is our understanding that this measure is also among the primary measures used externally by the Company�s investors, analysts and peers in its industry for purposes of valuation and comparing the operating performance of the Company to other companies in its industry. The Company has elected to not adjust EBITDA for the impact of the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.�123 �Share-Based Payment� (�FAS 123R�) and the Company has provided what it believes to be relevant supplemental information in this communication for analysis by others to fit their particular needs. Since EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income as an indicator of operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as the Company calculates it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, this measure does not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use, and is not necessarily a measure of the Company�s ability to fund its cash needs. As EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude certain financial information compared with net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions which are excluded. As required by the SEC, the Company provides below a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable amount reported under GAAP.
