"Clearly, we are very pleased with our first quarter results. Our performance in the quarter is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our employees who put our commitments to customers and shareholders above everything else," said Rolla P. Huff, EarthLink's chairman and chief executive officer. "As a result of the stability we are seeing in the churn rates of our tenured customers, as well as our better than expected expense optimization across every part of the company, we are increasing our guidance for full year Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and income from continuing operations," continued Huff.

Financial and Operating Results

Revenue

As part of the restructuring analysis that was done during the third quarter of 2007, EarthLink determined that the increase in early life churn profiles of many newly acquired narrowband customers meant that we were no longer generating a positive financial return on our sales and marketing investments. EarthLink significantly reduced these activities, which historically have been primarily to replace customer churn. This change allows the narrowband subscriber base to decline to a more sustainable customer level while generating significantly higher cash returns. As a result of these expected subscriber declines, total company revenues were $263.1 million, an 18.8 percent decrease compared to the first quarter 2007.

Profitability and Other Financial Measures

EarthLink realized $57.8 million, or $0.52 per share, in income from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $(22.4) million, or $(0.18) per share, in the first quarter of 2007. The significant improvement was primarily the result of a decrease in expense related to acquiring and supporting new customers that, because of early life churn, were no longer providing a positive shareholder return. Additionally, EarthLink realized a reduction in equity method losses compared to the first quarter of 2007, which were partially offset by an increase in the company's income tax provision in the first quarter of 2008.

EarthLink generated Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure, see definition in "Non-GAAP Measures" below) of $82.1 million for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $23.6 million in the first quarter of 2007. This increase was the result of the significant improvement in income from continuing operations noted above.

Net income was $54.4 million, or $0.49 per share, for the first quarter of 2008, compared to a net loss of $(30.0) million, or $(0.24) per share, for the first quarter of 2007. Our first quarter 2008 results include a loss of ($3.4) million from our discontinued operations for the municipal Wi-Fi assets, compared to a loss of $(7.6) million during the first quarter of 2007.

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2008, EarthLink reached agreements with the cities of Corpus Christi, TX and Milpitas, CA to transfer ownership of our municipal Wi-Fi assets to those respective cities. Additionally, EarthLink will terminate municipal Wi-Fi service in New Orleans, LA and remove its network from the market.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure, see definition in "Non-GAAP Measures" below) was $81.7 million during the first quarter of 2008 compared to $8.0 million during the first quarter of 2007. The improvement was the result of the significant increase in Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter 2008, coupled with a $15.2 million decrease in capital expenditures and subscriber base acquisitions in the quarter compared to the first quarter of 2007.

The company repurchased 1.3 million shares of its outstanding common stock for $9.1 million in the first quarter of 2008 and had $191.9 million remaining under its share repurchase program as of the end of the quarter.

EarthLink ended the first quarter with $320.0 million in cash and marketable securities, an increase of $31.4 million from December 31, 2007. Additionally, in April 2008, as a result of Platinum Equity's acquisition of Covad, EarthLink received $50.8 million in complete repayment of our debt investment in Covad. The Company will receive an additional $6.3 million in May 2008 in payment of our equity investment in Covad.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest income and other, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123( R ), net losses of equity affiliate, gain (loss) on investments in other companies, net, and facility exit, restructuring and other costs.

Free cash flow is defined as income from continuing operations before interest income and other, net, income taxes, facility exit, restructuring and other costs, stock-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123( R ), net losses of equity affiliate, gain (loss) on investments in other companies, net, and depreciation and amortization, less cash used for purchases of property and equipment and purchases of subscriber bases.

Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial performance measures. They should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to measures determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Please refer to the Consolidated Financial Highlights for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial performance measures to the most comparable measures reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and Footnote 3 of the Consolidated Financial Highlights for a discussion of the presentation, comparability and use of such financial performance measures.

Business Outlook

These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. See comments under "Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" below. EarthLink undertakes no obligation to update these statements.

For the full year 2008, management is increasing its previously issued guidance. Management now expects to generate Adjusted EBITDA of $245 million to $260 million, income from continuing operations of $153 million to $163 million, and free cash flow of $215 million to $235 million.

        In August 2007, EarthLink adopted a restructuring plan (the "2007
        Plan") to reduce costs and improve the efficiency of the Company's
        operations. The Plan was the result of a comprehensive review of
        operations within and across the Company's functions and businesses.
        Under the Plan, the Company reduced its workforce by approximately 900
        employees, consolidated its office facilities in Atlanta, Georgia and
        Pasadena, California and closed office facilities in Orlando, Florida;
        Knoxville, Tennessee; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and San Francisco,
        California. The Plan was primarily implemented during the later half
        of 2007 and is expected to be completed during the first half of 2008.
        As a result of the 2007 Plan, EarthLink recorded $1.1 million of
        facility exit and restructuring costs during the first quarter of
        2008.

    2.  The Company has reflected its municipal wireless broadband results of
        operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The
        following is summarized results of operations related to the Company's
        discontinued operations for the periods presented:

                                                 Three Months Ended

        Loss from discontinued operations      $(7,604)    $(3,392)

    3.  Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations
        before interest income and other, net, income taxes, depreciation and
        amortization, stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123( R ), net
        losses of equity affiliate, gain (loss) on investments in other
        companies, net, and facility exit, restructuring and other costs.
        Free cash flow is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations
        before interest income and other, net, income taxes, depreciation and
        amortization, stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123( R ), net
        losses of equity affiliate, gain (loss) on investments in other
        companies, net, and facility exit, restructuring and other costs, less
        cash used for purchases of property and equipment and purchases of
        subscriber bases.

        Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP measures and are not
        determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
        principles. These financial performance measures are not indicative of
        cash provided or used by operating activities and may differ from
        comparable information provided by other companies, and they should
        not be considered in isolation, as an alternative to, or more
        meaningful than measures of financial performance determined in
        accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These
        financial performance measures are commonly used in the industry and
        are presented because EarthLink believes they provide relevant and
        useful information to investors. EarthLink utilizes these financial
        performance measures to assess its ability to meet future capital
        expenditures and working capital requirements, to incur indebtedness
        if necessary, and to fund continued growth. EarthLink also uses these
        financial performance measures to evaluate the performance of its
        business, for budget planning purposes and as factors in its employee
        compensation programs.  Since the elements of these financial
        performance measures are determined using the accrual basis of
        accounting and exclude the effects of certain capital, financing,
        acquisition-related, and facility exit, restructuring and other costs,
        investors should use them to analyze and compare companies on the
        basis of current period operating performance.

    4.  Represents full-time equivalents.

    5.  Subscriber counts do not include nonpaying customers. Customers
        receiving service under promotional programs that include periods of
        free service at inception are not included in subscriber counts until
        they become paying customers.

    6.  Paying customers who subscribe to EarthLink DSL and Home Phone service
        are counted as both a broadband subscriber and a voice subscriber.

    7.  Churn rate is used to measure the rate at which subscribers
        discontinue service on a voluntary or involuntary basis.  Churn rate
        is computed by dividing the average monthly number of subscribers that
        discontinued service during the period by the average subscribers for
        the period.

    8.  Average subscribers for the three month periods is calculated by
        averaging the ending monthly subscribers or accounts for the four
        months preceding and including the end of the quarterly period.

    9.  ARPU represents the average monthly revenue per user (subscriber).
        ARPU is computed by dividing average monthly revenue for the period by
        the average number of subscribers for the period. Average monthly
        revenue used to calculate ARPU includes recurring service revenue as
        well as nonrecurring revenues associated with equipment and other one-
        time charges associated with initiating or discontinuing services.

    10. EarthLink's business segments are strategic business units that are
        managed based upon differences in customers, services and marketing
        channels. EarthLink's Consumer Services segment is a provider of
        integrated communications services and related value-added services to
        individual customers. These services include dial-up Internet access,
        high-speed Internet access and voice service, among others.
        EarthLink's Business Services segment is a provider of integrated
        communications services and related value-added services to businesses
        and communications carriers. These services include managed data
        networks, dedicated Internet access and web hosting, among others.

        EarthLink evaluates performance of its operating segments based on
        segment income from operations. Segment income from operations
        includes revenues from external customers, related cost of revenues
        and operating expenses directly attributable to the segment, which
        include expenses over which segment managers have direct discretionary
        control, such as advertising and marketing programs, customer support
        expenses, site operations expenses, product development expenses,
        certain technology and facilities expenses, billing operation and
        provisions for doubtful accounts. Segment income from operations
        excludes other income and expense items and certain expenses that
        segment managers do not have discretionary control over. Costs
        excluded from segment income from operations include various corporate
        expenses (consisting of certain costs such as corporate management,
        human resources, finance and legal), amortization of intangible
        assets, stock-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123( R ) and
        facility exit and restructuring costs, as they are not evaluated in
        the measurement of segment performance.
