"Revenue for the quarter increased 20% sequentially while Adjusted EBITDA increased five-fold sequentially. We expect positive revenue trends to continue into the fourth quarter. Our improved financial results can be attributed to increased Tier 1 market search queries from our alOt users, the restructuring of the ValidClick business to focus on smaller publishers, and increased revenue from our owned and operated properties. Looking forward, we plan to continue increasing our more profitable Tier 1 search queries, profitably growing our Publisher Network, and launching new enhancements to our BargainMatch platform, all of which we expect to contribute to increased revenue in Q4 of 2012."

By Segment: (unaudited)
In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), our earnings release contains the non-GAAP financial measure "Adjusted EBITDA."
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance defined in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating the Company's performance because Adjusted EBITDA is a commonly used financial analysis tool for measuring and comparing companies in the Company's industry in areas of operating performance.
Management believes that the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA offers an additional view of the Company's operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliation to GAAP net loss, provides a more complete understanding of the Company's results of operations and the factors and trends affecting the Company's business.
We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We defined Adjusted EBITDA as net loss from continuing operations plus (i) interest expense, net, (ii) provision for taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock based payments, and (v) indirect costs incurred during the merger with Vertro. These further adjustments are itemized above. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same or similar to some of the adjustments in the presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
