WebMD Announces Third Quarter Financi...(of the merger closing date of October 23...),Health

Financial Guidance

The Company reaffirmed its financial guidance for the fourth quarter and calendar year 2009 today and narrowed the ranges for its anticipated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA by raising the low end of those ranges. This financial guidance reflects the prior financial guidance for the Company's former parent, HLTH Corporation, whose historical financial statements are required to be adopted by WebMD as a result of the merger.

For 2009, WebMD expects:

• Total revenue to be approximately $430 million to $440 million, an increase of 15% to 18% over 2008;
• Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately $106 million to $111 million, an increase of 24% to 25% over 2008;
• Income from continuing operations to be approximately $11 million to $14 million, or $0.22 to $0.27 per share.
  

These amounts represent growth of approximately 19% to 23% in public portal advertising and sponsorship revenue and approximately 2% in private portal services revenue.

Additional detail is provided in a schedule attached to this release.
