Third Quarter Results

Sal Iannuzzi, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Monster Worldwide, said, "While the overall global recruitment market remains challenging, we have continued to move aggressively during the downturn to invest and innovate. We are extremely excited about the upcoming launch of our next generation search and match products which represent industry leading innovation. The early response we have received from both customers and seekers has been overwhelmingly positive and extremely encouraging. These new products, together with enhanced seeker tools introduced earlier this year, have allowed us to remain the industry leader while improving our value proposition to employers and job seekers."

Mr. Iannuzzi added, "We maintained strict financial discipline during the third quarter while preserving our financial strength. We will continue to make decisions based on the longer term benefit to our customers and shareholders and we are greatly encouraged by our progress."

Total revenue was $215 million, compared with $332 million in the comparable quarter of 2008, a 35% decline. Monster Worldwide generated 42% of its revenue outside the United States and total revenue was negatively impacted by $7.4 million from unfavorable foreign exchange rates. Revenue was impacted by lower global demand for recruitment advertising services.

Careers non-GAAP revenue decreased 39% to $180 million. Careers North America generated revenue of $95 million compared with $155 million in the prior year period, a 39% decline. Careers International non-GAAP revenue was $85 million, a 40% decline over the prior year period. Internet Advertising & Fees generated revenue of $35 million, essentially flat over the $35 million reported in last year's third quarter.

Consolidated operating expenses were $212 million, and income from continuing operations was approximately $33 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to income from continuing operations of $43 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, in the comparable 2008 period. Third quarter results include a net non-cash benefit of $32 million relating to the reversal of an income tax liability for uncertain tax positions. Foreign exchange rates negatively impacted consolidated operating income by approximately $0.5 million.

Non-GAAP income from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 excludes the $32 million benefit from the income tax adjustment and a $0.9 million net benefit resulting from pre-tax pro forma adjustments of:

-- $1.8 million in charges primarily due to facilities consolidation,

-- $5.9 million in severance charges primarily from the elimination of certain product and technology positions in various global locations and consolidation to the company's new Cambridge, Massachusetts facility,

-- a $0.6 million revenue reduction due to the purchase accounting adjustment for ChinaHR, offset by

-- an aggregate benefit of $7.3 million representing the reversal of previous accruals related to legal settlements (inclusive of the ERISA (401k Plan) class action settlement).

These pro forma items are fully described in the "Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and are reconciled to the GAAP measure in the accompanying tables.

On a non-GAAP basis, Monster Worldwide generated revenue of $215 million and $211 million of operating expenses. In last year's third quarter, revenue was $332 million and operating expenses were $262 million. Income from continuing operations was $1.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to $48 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the comparable prior year period.

Monster ended the third quarter of 2009 with total available liquidity of $532 million, and net cash and securities of $234 million, compared with net cash and securities of $235 million at the end of the 2009 second quarter.

During the quarter, Monster Worldwide paid back a total of $47 million of debt and currently has $50 million of outstanding debt on the balance sheet. Cash generated from operating activities was $12 million compared to $14 million used in the 2009 second quarter.

Capital expenditures were $12 million, down from $21 million in last year's third quarter. Approximately $76 million of auction rate securities are classified as a long-term asset on the consolidated balance sheet, and are included in the net cash and securities balance as of September 30, 2009.

Monster Worldwide's deferred revenue balance at September 30, 2009 was $266 million, compared with last year's third quarter balance of $412 million, and $290 million reported for the second quarter of 2009.

Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has provided certain non-GAAP financial information as additional information for its operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and may be different from non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that its presentation of non-GAAP measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.

Non-GAAP revenue, operating expenses, operating income, operating margin, income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share all exclude certain pro forma adjustments including: net costs associated with the Company's historical stock option grant practices, related litigation and potential fines or settlements; severance costs for former executive officers incurred in the second quarter of 2007; costs related to the measures taken by the Company in response to a security breach in August 2007; the strategic restructuring actions initiated in the third quarter of 2007; severance and facility charges primarily related to product and technology global reorganization; the fair value adjustment to deferred revenue in connection with the acquisition of ChinaHR; and a net non-cash benefit relating to the reversal of an income tax liability for uncertain tax positions. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures for reviewing the ongoing results of the Company's core business operations and in certain instances, for measuring performance under certain of the Company's incentive compensation plans. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Operating income before depreciation and amortization ("OIBDA") is defined as income from operations before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of stock based compensation and non-cash costs incurred in connection with the Company's restructuring program. The Company considers OIBDA to be an important indicator of its operational strength. This measure eliminates the effects of depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of stock based compensation and non-cash restructuring costs from period to period, which the Company believes is useful to management and investors in evaluating its operating performance. OIBDA is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow is considered a liquidity measure and provides useful information about the Company's ability to generate cash after investments in property and equipment. Free cash flow reflected herein is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Free cash flow does not reflect the total change in the Company's cash position for the period and should not be considered a substitute for such a measure.

Net cash and securities is defined as cash and cash equivalents plus short-term and long-term marketable securities, less total debt. Total available liquidity is defined as cash and cash equivalents, plus short-term and long-term marketable securities plus unused borrowings under our credit facility. The Company considers net cash and securities and total available liquidity to be important measures of liquidity and indicators of its ability to meet its ongoing obligations. The Company also uses net cash and securities and total available liquidity, among other measures, in evaluating its choices for capital deployment. Net cash and securities and total available liquidity are presented herein as non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Special Note: Except for historical information contained herein, the statements made in this release, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding the Company's strategic direction, prospects and future results. Certain factors, including factors outside of our control, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including economic and other conditions in the markets in which we operate, risks associated with acquisitions or dispositions, competition, ongoing costs associated with the Company's historical stock option grant practices, costs associated with the restructuring and security breach, and the other risks discussed in our Form 10-K and our other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which discussions are incorporated in this release by reference.
