Blockbuster Reports Third Quarter 2007 Results, New Strategic Initiatives and
Decisive Actions Taken To Improve Near-Term Profitability
Quarterly and Strategic Highlights:
| • | Worldwide Same-Store Sales Increased 3.5% Year-Over-Year |
| • | Movielink Acquisition Provides Access To One Of The Largest Digital Movie Libraries |
| • | Changes To BLOCKBUSTER Total Access™ Improve Program Economics |
| • | Cost Reductions Expected To Generate $45 Million In Annual Savings Starting In The Fourth Quarter |
DALLAS, Nov. 1, 2007 — Blockbuster Inc. (NYSE: BBI, BBI.B) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007.
Total revenues decreased 5.7% to $1.24 billion for the third quarter of 2007 from $1.31 billion for the third quarter of 2006. For the third quarter of 2007, net loss was $35.0 million, or $0.20 per common share, as compared with a net loss of $24.7 million, or $0.15 per common share, for the third quarter of 2006. Net loss for the third quarter of 2007 included $9.6 million, or $0.05 per common share, in severance and lease termination costs.
“We believe the actions we have taken over the last quarter have better positioned Blockbuster for the future,” said Jim Keyes, Blockbuster Chairman and CEO. “Going forward, we are focused on protecting our core rental business, developing new retail opportunities, and becoming the preferred provider of

digital entertainment. To this end, we have launched a series of initiatives centered around product availability and increased emphasis on our retail business. I am pleased with the progress we have made both strategically and financially and believe we are on our way to transforming Blockbuster into a company that is able to generate total revenue growth, effectively redeploy resources and balance investment in a manner that delivers favorable returns.”
As part of its previously announced efforts to improve profitability, management has completed a preliminary review of the Company’s cost structure and has implemented a plan to reduce annualized overhead costs by approximately $45 million through the elimination of staffing and operational redundancies in the Company’s in-store and online corporate support structure and through improvements in other operating efficiencies. Management continues to evaluate a number of other methods to reduce costs, including outsourcing various corporate functions.
Additionally, consistent with its efforts to strike an appropriate balance between the growth of its online subscription service and enhanced profitability, during the quarter the Company implemented pricing modifications to the BLOCKBUSTER Total Access offering, reduced advertising spend and minimized promotion of the program in its stores. These actions significantly reduced the number of unprofitable BLOCKBUSTER Total Access subscribers, improved profitability across the remaining subscriber base and contributed to a sequential improvement in the Company’s operating results from the second quarter of 2007.
Further, in light of the Company’s emphasis on growing its overall customer base — through its stores, through the mail and eventually through the digital delivery of content – going forward, the Company will no longer be narrowly focused on its online subscriber count but instead will concentrate on the growth of, and report on, its total membership.
“During each month this quarter, over 20 million customers around the world used the BLOCKBUSTER® brand to satisfy their needs for media entertainment, and that customer base presents us with a tremendous opportunity,” said Keyes. “Our goal is to continue to increase our membership base by providing even more ways for customers to get the entertainment they want through our stores, through the mail and through new technologies.”

Third Quarter Financial Results
Total revenues for the third quarter of 2007 decreased primarily due to the closure and sale of 526 company-operated stores worldwide. This decrease was partially offset by a $79.2 million year-over-year increase in revenues from Blockbuster’s online rental service resulting from growth in the subscriber base, which totaled approximately 3.1 million total subscribers at the end of the quarter.
Worldwide same-store rental revenues for the third quarter increased 1.1% from the same period last year, reflecting a 2.3% increase in domestic same-store rental revenues and a 2.8% decline in international same-store rental revenues. Worldwide same-store retail revenues for the third quarter of 2007 increased 14.2% from the same period last year largely due to a 79.5% increase in international same-store game retail revenues.
Operating loss for the third quarter of 2007 totaled $5.6 million, compared to operating income of $3.3 million for the same period last year. Gross profit decreased $75.7 million, which was primarily driven by the decline in total revenues discussed above and an approximately $29 million impact to rental gross profit associated with the cost of free in-store exchanges under the BLOCKBUSTER Total Access program. Gross margin declined 270 basis points to 53.9% for the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in gross profit was partially offset by a $51.9 million decrease in general and administrative (G&A) expenses for the third quarter of 2007 largely due to a $25.8 million decline in compensation expense and a $19.4 million decrease in occupancy costs primarily resulting from (i) the lower worldwide company-operated store-base and (ii) the sale of 217 GAMESTATION® stores in the U.K. Advertising expense for the third quarter 2007 totaled $27.5 million as compared to $33.0 million for the third quarter of 2006.
Cash flow used for operating activities of $17.1 million for the third quarter of 2007 reflected a $168.9 million decrease from cash provided by operating activities of $151.8 million in the third quarter of 2006. Free cash flow (net cash flow used for operating activities less capital expenditures) decreased $174.5 million to a negative $38.6 million for the third quarter of 2007 from a positive $135.9 million for the third quarter of 2006. Both changes were primarily the result of changes in working capital and rental library.
Additional financial and operational information for the third quarter of 2007 can be found in the tables accompanying this release.

DISCLOSURES REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(Dollars in millions)
Free cash flow reflects the Company’s net cash flow provided by (used for) operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company uses free cash flow, among other things, to evaluate its operating performance and as a measure of liquidity. Management believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for debt service, acquisitions and stockholders after making the capital investments required to support ongoing business operations and long-term value creation. The Company believes the presentation of free cash flow is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by management and helps improve their ability to understand the Company’s operating performance. In addition, free cash flow is also a measure used by the Company’s investors and analysts for purposes of valuation and comparing the operating performance of the Company to other companies in its industry.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission and not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ( “GAAP”). As a result, free cash flow should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance or net cash flow provided by (used for) operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Free cash flow, as the Company calculates it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, free cash flow does not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and is not necessarily a measure of the Company’s ability to fund its cash needs. As the Company uses free cash flow as a measure of performance and as a measure of liquidity, the tables below reconcile free cash flow to both net income (loss) and net cash flow provided by (used for) operating activities, the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP.

For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2007, the Company reports adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss per common share, adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) excluding the gain on sale of Gamestation, costs incurred for store closures and severance costs. Additionally, for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2007, the Company reports adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss per common share, adjusted operating loss and adjusted EBITDA excluding proceeds from the termination of our Brazilian franchise agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company reports adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss per common share, adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA excluding charges related to costs incurred for store closures, severance costs and the expected performance under a 2001 guarantee of franchisee debt. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company reports adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per common share excluding the recognition of a tax benefit from the resolution of multi-year income tax audits. For the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2007, the Company reports adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss per common share, adjusted operating loss and adjusted EBITDA excluding the gain on sale of Gamestation, costs incurred for store closures and severance costs.
Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per common share, adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission and not measures of operating performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. As a result, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per common share, adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, income (loss) from continuing operations, net income (loss) per common share and operating income (loss) as indicators of operating performance. Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per common share, adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA, as the Company calculates them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. Management believes that, because the items discussed above are non-recurring in nature, adjusting the Company’s financial results to exclude these amounts provides investors with a clearer perspective of the current underlying operating performance of the Company and a clearer comparison to current period results. In addition, Management believes that adjusting the Company’s financial results to exclude depreciation and amortization of intangibles also provides investors with a clearer perspective of the current underlying operating performance of the Company and a clearer comparison to current period results. Management uses income (loss) from continuing operations and operating income (loss) excluding these non-recurring items and depreciation and amortization of intangibles as an internal measure of business operating performance.
