For the third quarter ended September 30, 2007, revenues were $531.1 million compared to $473.2 million for the same quarter last year, an increase of 12.2 percent. Revenue

¹ See Reconciliation of Financial Measures below.

from acquired entities² accounted for $33.9 million of the $57.9 million increase during the third quarter and $134.8 million of the $200.2 million year-to-date increase. During the quarter, the Company recorded $8.8 million of goodwill amortization to write-off its investment in Vertical Alliance, a ticketing company. This resulted in a 320 basis point reduction in the Communication Services segment third quarter operating margin and a 170 basis point reduction in consolidated third quarter operating margin. This was offset by a related reduction of income tax valuation reserves and income tax expense of $8.0 million.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
At September 30, 2007, West Corporation had cash and cash equivalents totaling $112.6 million and working capital of $175.4 million. Third quarter depreciation expense was $25.1 million and amortization expense was $29.2 million. Cash flow from operating activities was $55.3 million and was impacted by interest expense of $88.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $149.3 million, or 28.1 percent of revenue. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to cash flow from operating activities is presented in the Reconciliation of Financial Measures below.

“During the quarter, we invested $26.8 million in capital expenditures primarily for equipment and infrastructure,” stated Paul Mendlik, Chief Financial Officer of West Corporation. “The Company also settled the pending litigation with Polygon during the quarter by paying Polygon $48.75 per share, the same amount received in the Recapitalization as all other former public shareholders of West, plus interest at 8.25%, for a total of approximately $183.9 million.”

Reconciliation of Financial Measures

The common definition of EBITDA is “Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization.” In evaluating liquidity, we use Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, minority interest, recapitalization transaction costs, after acquisition synergies and excluding unrestricted subsidiaries. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for net income, cash flow from operations or other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is presented as we understand certain investors use it as one measure of our historical ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA is also used in our debt covenants. Set forth below is a reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to cash flow from operations.
