Interland Reports Quarterly Financial Results

Quarter Highlighted by Improvement of Net Loss by $3.6 Million; Agreement with R.H. Donnelley; Web.com Acquisition; Addition of Top Management Talent


ATLANTA, Jan. 9, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Interland (Nasdaq:INLD), a leading provider of websites and online services for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), today reported results for its fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2005.

The quarter was highlighted by the previously unannounced agreement with R.H. Donnelley to provide website and hosting services. Additional highlights of the quarter include the announcement to purchase Web.com and the appointments of Vikas Rijsinghani as Chief Technology Officer and Judy Hackett as Chief Marketing Officer.

Summary of Fiscal First Quarter 2006 Results:



 --  Total revenues for the quarter were $12.1 million, versus $20.6
     million in the fourth quarter. Substantially all of the revenue
     decline was due to the company's sale of its dedicated server
     assets.
 --  Net loss was $2.6 million, or negative $0.16 per share, an
     improvement of $3.6 million, versus a loss of $6.2 million, or
     negative $0.38 per share, in the previous quarter.
 --  Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization,
     ("EBITDA") (1) for the quarter was negative $1.3 million, an
     improvement of $0.8 million from negative $2.1 million, in the
     previous quarter. This included restructuring charges, net of one
     time gains, of roughly $0.8 million and stock-based compensation
     of approximately $0.4 million. 
 --  Cash and investment position, which includes cash and cash
     equivalents of $23.3 million and restricted investments of $9.4
     million, was $32.7 million compared to $26.5 million, an
     improvement of $6.2 million, in the previous quarter.

"Interland executed on its restructuring plan this quarter moving towards a more efficient enterprise poised for growth, highlighted by a $3.6 million improvement in net income," stated Jeff Stibel, President and CEO, Interland. "We made significant inroads in our sales channel and signed deals with R.H. Donnelley, one of the largest Yellow Pages publishers and local online search companies in the U.S., and Ambassador Yellow Pages, the fastest growing directory publisher in New York City. By acquiring Web.com, we now have a strong platform to build a powerful world-class brand. In addition to the tremendous branding opportunity, this acquisition adds revenues, significant direct navigation traffic, and an entrance into the consumer segment of the web hosting market."

"Interland was able to take advantage of significant cost savings during the quarter as a result of the sale of its dedicated server assets and the continued restructuring of the company," stated Gonzalo Troncoso, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "I am encouraged with the financial results from the quarter and feel that the company is headed in a favorable direction. By focusing on cost savings and striking deals with leading industry players, Interland is positioning itself for the future and building a strong infrastructure for growth. The company continues to strengthen its team by hiring top talent and its business by focusing on what is core: provide high-quality and reliable websites and online services to the small and medium-sized business market."

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) less (i) provision for incometaxes, (ii) interest income or expense, and (iii) depreciation andamortization. EBITDA is not an indicator of financial performanceunder generally accepted accounting principles and may not becomparable to similarly captioned information reported by othercompanies. In addition, it does not replace net income (loss),operating income (loss), or cash flows from operating activities asindicators of operating performance. The effect of taxes and intereston Interland’s net loss is not significant, but depreciation andamortization, primarily as a result of acquisitions, is significant.The Company believes that measuring the performance of the businesswithout regard to non-cash depreciation and amortization can maketrends in operating results more readily apparent, and when consideredwith other information, assist investors and other users of theCompany’s financial statements who wish to evaluate the Company’sability to generate future cash flows.

The following table reflects the calculation of EBITDA from continuing operations and a reconciliation to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities:
