SIRIUS XM Radio Reports Third Quarter 2008 Results
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080819/NYTU044LOGO )
"SIRIUS XM third quarter results demonstrate strong revenue growth, solid
cost control and most importantly a clear path to positive cash flow," said
"In the third quarter, total operating costs, less merger related
expenses, decreased as compared with last year, leading to a 64% improvement
in the pro forma adjusted loss from operations of
SIRIUS XM ended the third quarter 2008 with 18,920,911 subscribers up 17% from 16,234,070 subscribers at the end of the third quarter 2007. During the third quarter 2008, SIRIUS XM added 344,100 net subscribers.

Free Cash Flow* $0.0 $0.4 $0.6 $1.0 $1.4
* Adjusted EBITDA is net income /(loss) from operations plus equity expense and depreciation and amortization expense. Free cash flow is derived from net change in cash and cash equivalents plus cash flow from financing activities and other investment activity. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is attached to this press release. The projections shown above do not give effect to adjustments that will occur in respect of the valuation of XM's assets and liabilities acquired in the merger.
Current economic conditions, particularly the dramatic and recent slowdown in auto sales, have negatively impacted subscriber growth for 2008 and 2009. The company expects to end 2008 with 19.1 million subscribers and end 2009 with 20.6 million subscribers. The company remains confident in its Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2008 and 2009, which remains unchanged.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Pro forma results for the third quarter and first nine months exclude
impairment charges, and stock-based compensation expense and assume a business
combination as of
Due principally to purchase accounting and the non-cash impairment charge related to the mark-to-market impairment test on our existing goodwill and intangible assets, reported GAAP results for the third quarter and nine months to date differ significantly from pro forma adjusted results.

In order to provide projections with respect to non-GAAP measures, we are required to estimate GAAP measures that are components of these reconciliations. The provision of these estimates is in no way meant to indicate that the company is explicitly or implicitly providing projections on those GAAP components of the reconciliations. In order to reconcile the non- GAAP financial measures to GAAP, the company has estimated the GAAP components that arithmetically add up to the non-GAAP financial measures. The company fully expects that the estimates used for the GAAP components will vary from actual results.
Footnotes
(1) Average self pay monthly churn represents the average of self pay
deactivations by the quarter divided by the average self pay
subscriber balance for the quarter.
(2) We measure the percentage of subscribers that receive the service and
convert to self-paying after the initial promotion period. We refer to
this as the "conversion rate." At the time of sale, vehicle owners
generally receive between three and twelve month prepaid trial
subscriptions and we receive a subscription fee from the OEM.
Promotional periods generally include the period of trial service plus
30 days to handle the receipt and processing of payments. We measure
conversion rate three months after the period in which the trial
service ends. Based on our experience it may take up to 90 days after
the trial service ends for subscribers to respond to our marketing
communications and become self-paying subscribers.
(3) ARPU is derived from total earned subscriber revenue and net
advertising revenue divided by the daily weighted average number of
subscribers for the period. ARPU is calculated as follows (in

(7) Average monthly self-pay churn; conversion rate; ARPU; SAC, as
adjusted, per gross subscriber addition; customer service and billing
expenses, as adjusted, per average subscriber; and free cash flow are
not measures of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"). We believe these non-GAAP financial
measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our
operating performance and are used by us for budgetary and planning
purposes; when publicly providing our business outlook; as a means to
evaluate period-to-period comparisons; and to compare our performance
to that of our competitors. We also believe that investors also use
our current and projected metrics to monitor the performance of our
business and to make investment decisions.
We believe the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense in our
calculations of SAC, as adjusted, per gross subscriber addition and
customer service and billing expenses, as adjusted, per average
subscriber is useful given the significant variation in expense that
can result from changes in the fair market value of our common stock,
the effect of which is unrelated to the operational conditions that
give rise to variations in the components of our subscriber
acquisition costs and customer service and billing expenses.
Specifically, the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense in our
calculation of SAC, as adjusted, per gross subscriber addition is
critical in being able to understand the economic impact of the direct
costs incurred to acquire a subscriber and the effect over time as
economies of scale are reached.
These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in
conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-
GAAP financial measures may be susceptible to varying calculations;
may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
companies; and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute
for, or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in
accordance with GAAP.
(8) We refer to net loss before taxes; other income (expense)-including
interest and investment income, interest expense, depreciation and
amortization, restructuring and related costs and impairment of
goodwill; and stock-based compensation expense as adjusted loss from
operations. Adjusted loss from operations is not a measure of
financial performance under U.S. GAAP. We believe adjusted loss from
operations is a useful measure of our operating performance. We use
adjusted loss from operations for budgetary and planning purposes; to
assess the relative profitability and on-going performance of our
consolidated operations; to compare our performance from period-to-
period; and to compare our performance to that of our competitors. We
also believe adjusted loss from operations is useful to investors to
compare our operating performance to the performance of other
communications, entertainment and media companies. We believe that
investors use current and projected adjusted loss from operations to
estimate our current or prospective enterprise value and to make
investment decisions.
Because we fund and build-out our satellite radio system through the
periodic raising and expenditure of large amounts of capital, our
results of operations reflect significant charges for interest and
depreciation expense. We believe adjusted loss from operations
provides useful information about the operating performance of our
business apart from the costs associated with our capital structure
and physical plant. The exclusion of interest and depreciation and
amortization expense is useful given fluctuations in interest rates
and significant variation in depreciation and amortization expense
that can result from the amount and timing of capital expenditures and
potential variations in estimated useful lives, all of which can vary
widely across different industries or among companies within the same
industry. We believe the exclusion of taxes is appropriate for
comparability purposes as the tax positions of companies can vary
because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits
and because of the tax policies of the various jurisdictions in which
they operate. We believe the exclusion of restructuring and related
costs and impairment of goodwill is useful given the one-time nature
of these transactions. We also believe the exclusion of stock-based
compensation expense is useful given the significant variation in
expense that can result from changes in the fair market value of our
common stock. To compensate for the exclusion of taxes, other income
(expense), depreciation and stock-based compensation expense, we
separately measure and budget for these items.
There are material limitations associated with the use of adjusted
loss from operations in evaluating our company compared with net loss,
which reflects overall financial performance, including the effects of
taxes, other income (expense), depreciation and amortization,
restructuring and related costs, impairment of goodwill and stock-
based compensation expense. We use adjusted loss from operations to
supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of
the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone.
Investors that wish to compare and evaluate our operating results
after giving effect for these costs, should refer to net loss as
disclosed in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
Since adjusted loss from operations is a non-GAAP financial measure,
our calculation of adjusted loss from operations may be susceptible to
varying calculations; may not be comparable to other similarly titled
measures of other companies; and should not be considered in
isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial
performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The reconciliation of the pro forma unadjusted Net loss to the pro
forma Adjusted loss from operations is calculated as follows:

There are material limitations associated with the use of a pro forma

The projections contained herein were not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or any other regulatory or professional agency or body, GAAP or consistency with audited financial statements previously published by the company. We do not intend to update or otherwise revise the projections even if any or all of their underlying assumptions do not prove to be valid. The company's projections contained herein are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates, including, among other things, important assumptions regarding:
-- general economic conditions,
-- continued consumer demand for the company's satellite radio services,
-- the level of subscriber turnover, or churn, the company will
experience,
-- the sale and lease of new vehicles, and
-- the synergies that are expected to be realized from the merger of
SIRIUS and XM.
While considered reasonable by the company when taken as a whole, the assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the company's control. In addition, the projections are based upon specific assumptions with respect to future business conditions, some or all of which will change. The company's independent registered public accounting firm has not examined or compiled the projections, expressed any conclusion or provided any form of assurance with respect to them and, accordingly, assumes no responsibility for them. The projections, like any forecast, are necessarily speculative in nature and it can be expected that the assumptions upon which the projections are based will not prove to be valid or will vary from actual results. Actual results will vary from the projections and the variations may be material. Consequently, the projections should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the subscribers, revenue, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow will actually be achieved. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these projections.
This communication contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the business combination transaction involving SIRIUS and XM, including potential synergies and cost savings and the timing thereof, future financial and operating results, the combined company's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to future operations, products and services; and other statements identified by words such as "anticipate," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "will," "should," "may," or words of similar meaning. Such forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of SIRIUS' and XM's management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of SIRIUS and XM. Actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ
materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the
forward-looking statement: general business and economic conditions; the
performance of financial markets and interest rates; the ability to obtain
governmental approvals of the transaction on a timely basis; the failure to
realize synergies and cost-savings from the transaction or delay in
realization thereof; the businesses of SIRIUS and XM may not be combined
successfully, or such combination may take longer, be more difficult, time-
consuming or costly to accomplish than expected; and operating costs and
business disruption following the merger, including adverse effects on
employee retention and on our business relationships with third parties,
including manufacturers of radios, retailers, automakers and programming
providers. Additional factors that could cause SIRIUS' and XM's results to
differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can
be found in SIRIUS' and XM's Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended
