Fourth-Quarter 2008 Details

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2008 totaled $231 million, a 17 percent increase over fourth-quarter 2007 revenue of $198 million. Organic revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2008 was eight percent overall and 12 percent for the subscription-based portion of the business, which represented 74 percent of total revenue. Acquisitions contributed 14 percent of the increase, while foreign-currency movements decreased revenue by five percent compared to last year’s fourth quarter. The company continued to grow its business overall in all three regions. The Americas (North and South America) segment increased its revenue during the fourth quarter by 21 percent, to $145 million, compared to $120 million in the prior year’s fourth quarter. The EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) segment grew its fourth quarter revenue by eight percent, to $68.4 million, compared to $63.4 million in the prior year. The APAC (Asia Pacific) segment’s revenue increased by 23 percent, to $17.6 million, compared to $14.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $64.0 million, up 26 percent over the prior-year period. Operating income increased $10.3 million year-over-year to $45.7 million. Americas’ operating income was $45.6 million, up 16 percent over the prior-year quarter. EMEA’s operating income was up 42 percent to $15.6 million. APAC’s operating income was $6.2 million, up 45 percent over the prior-year amount.

Full Year 2008

Revenue for fiscal year 2008 totaled $844 million, up 23 percent over the prior year total of $688 million. Organic revenue growth was eight percent overall in 2008 after adjusting for a certain engineering standard released once every three years (seven percent unadjusted). For the subscription-based portion of the business, organic growth was 11%. Acquisitions added 16 percent, while foreign exchange movements offset the above by less than one percent for the full year. The Americas segment grew its revenue during fiscal year 2008 by 22 percent, to $521 million, compared to $428 million in the prior-year period. The EMEA segment grew its full year 2008 revenue by 25 percent, to $263 million, compared to $210 million in the prior year. The APAC segment increased its revenue by 19 percent, to $59.6 million, compared to $50.1 million in 2007.

Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal-year 2008 totaled $225 million, up 34 percent from $168 million in 2007. Operating income increased 15 percent year-over-year to $134 million, up from $117 million. Operating income for the year ended November 30, 2008, included the $12 million restructuring charge reported in the third quarter. The restructuring charge was primarily split between the Americas and EMEA segments. Inclusive of the restructuring charge, Americas’ operating income was $161 million, up 20 percent over the prior-year period (up 24 percent before the restructuring charge). EMEA grew its year-to-date 2008 operating income to $44.3 million, up 26 percent over 2007 (up 43 percent before the restructuring charge). APAC’s operating income was $18.1 million, up 44 percent over last year.

Net income for fiscal year 2008 increased 18 percent to $99.0 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, compared to prior-year net income of $83.8 million, or $1.39 per diluted share.

Cash Flows

IHS generated $189 million of cash flow from operations during the year ended November 30, 2008, as compared to last year’s $142 million.

Balance Sheet

IHS ended fiscal year 2008 with $31 million of cash and cash equivalents, and $96 million of debt.

“The business continues to perform well, with the sequential quarterly increase in our top-line organic growth rate a particularly positive highlight of the quarter,” stated Michael J. Sullivan, IHS executive vice president and chief financial officer. “Strong cash flow generation and available capacity under our credit facility are competitive advantages in the current economic climate.”

Share Repurchase Program

During the fourth quarter of 2008, IHS repurchased 527,829 shares of its common stock for approximately $25.0 million, or $47.36 per share. During fiscal 2008, IHS repurchased 1,199,595 shares of its common stock for approximately $65.5 million, or $54.64 per share.

Outlook (forward-looking statement)

For the year ending November 30, 2009, we expect:

· All-in revenue growth of 16 to 18 percent from a 2008 base of $844 million;

· All-in adjusted EBITDA growth of 21 to 24 percent from a 2008 base of $225 million;

· Depreciation and amortization expense to be in the range of $50-55 million;

· Net interest expense to approximate $1-2 million;

· Stock-based compensation expense to be in the range of $55-60 million;

· Effective tax rate to be approximately 29 to 30 percent; and

· Weighted average diluted shares to be approximately 64.2 million.

This above outlook assumes constant currencies and no further acquisitions, restructurings or unanticipated events. See discussion of adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

As previously announced, IHS will hold a conference call to discuss fourth quarter and full year 2008 results on January 8, 2009, at 3:00 p.m. MST (5:00 p.m. EST). The conference call will be simultaneously webcast on the company’s website, www.ihs.com.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP results are presented only as a supplement to the financial statements based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the reader’s understanding of our financial performance, but no non-GAAP measure should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the most directly comparable GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per diluted share, are provided within the schedules attached to this release.

EBITDA is defined as net income plus or minus net interest plus income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA includes our share of adjusted EBITDA from an unconsolidated joint venture and excludes non-cash items, gains and losses on sales of assets and investments and other items that management does not utilize in assessing our operating performance (as further described in the attached financial schedules). Adjusted earnings per diluted share exclude similar non-cash items as adjusted EBITDA. None of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or any other GAAP measure.

Management uses these non-GAAP measures in its operational and financial decision-making, believing that it is useful to eliminate certain items in order to focus on what it deems to be a more reliable indicator of ongoing operating performance and our ability to generate cash flow from operations. As a result, internal management reports used during monthly operating reviews feature the adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per diluted share metrics. Management also believes that investors may find non-GAAP financial measures useful for the same reasons, although investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP disclosures. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per diluted share are also used by research analysts, investment bankers and lenders to assess our operating performance. For example, a measure similar to EBITDA is required by the lenders under our credit facility.

Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies. However, these measures can still be useful in evaluating our performance against our peer companies because management believes the measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP financial disclosures. For example, a company with greater GAAP net income may not be as appealing to investors if its net income is more heavily comprised of gains on asset sales. Likewise, eliminating the effects of interest income and expense moderates the impact of a company’s capital structure on its performance.

All of the items included in the reconciliation from net income to adjusted EBITDA are either (i) non-cash items (e.g., depreciation and amortization) or (ii) items that management does not consider to be useful in assessing our operating performance (e.g., income taxes and gain on sale of assets). In the case of the non-cash items, management believes that investors can better assess our operating performance if the measures are presented without such items because, unlike cash expenses, these adjustments do not affect our ability to generate free cash flow or invest in our business. For example, by eliminating depreciation and amortization from EBITDA, users can

compare operating performance without regard to different accounting determinations such as useful life. In the case of the other items, management believes that investors can better assess operating performance if the measures are presented without these items because their financial impact does not reflect ongoing operating performance.
