Tiger Media Reports Full Year of 2012 Results

April 19, 2013

Tiger Media, Inc. ("Tiger Media" or the "Company") (NYSE MKT: IDI, IDI.WS), one of China's leading nationwide multi-platform media companies, today reported audited financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2012. The Company also announced today that it had filed its annual report for the year ended December 31, 2012 on Form 20-F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Full Year 2012 Financial Highlights

- Net profit was $8.7 million compared to a net loss of $13.4 million in 2011 mainly as a result of a $9.4 million net gain from the disposal of subsidiaries.
- Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) was $8.4 million compared to an adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) of $1.9 million in 2011.

Peter W. H. Tan, Chief Executive Officer of Tiger Media, remarked, "We have been able to realize significant progress in the evolution of our business during 2012 and into 2013, transitioning from our legacy operations to strategic transactions with high profile partners. These new concessions possess higher margins, longer terms and greater strategic value. In addition, we have several other strategic concessions and transactions in progress that will create additional long-term revenue opportunities, strengthen and diversify our offerings in China's media sector, deepen our national presence and further enhance shareholder value. We have eliminated nearly all of our remaining earn-out liabilities and we are debt free with sufficient liquidity to build and expand our concessions. Furthermore, as a result of the Company's improved financial reporting systems we were able to achieve a timely filing of our annual results on Form 20-F prior to the April 30, 2013 deadline.

Our Luxury Mall LCD platform just completed the installation of 16 LCD screens at the prestigious Shanghai Center where we have already completed a high profile advertising campaign with a major international beverage company. We expect the build out of the Shanghai portion of this network to be completed in June 2013 at which point we will focus on expanding the Luxury Mall LCD network to other major cities in China.

Our full December 31, 2012 audited results differ slightly from our preliminary year end results announced on January 16, 2013, as a result of minor adjustments to certain accrued expenses. In addition, certain line items in our preliminary statement of operations were reclassified in our audited financial statements to properly account for the discontinued operations. However, this reclassification had no significant impact on the reported net profit.

Full Year 2012 Financial Results

Net Revenues & Gross Profit

For the full year 2012, our revenue has been classified as discontinued operations, after giving effect to the divestiture of SearchMedia International Limited in the year 2012. The results from these subsidiaries are presented as loss from operations of discontinued components and included in the net profit of the Company.

Loss from Continuing Operations

The loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $0.7 million compared to a loss of $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, mainly as a result of the $3.0 million extinguishment of the acquisition payable.

Profit/(Loss) from Discontinued Operations

The profit from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $9.4 million compared to a loss of $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, mainly as a result of the $16.2 million gain on the disposal of subsidiaries, net of tax.

Net Profit

As a result of the foregoing, we had net profit of $8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to a net loss of $13.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Adjusted net profit/(loss)

Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP), excluding non-cash items, was $8.4 million in 2012 compared to an adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) of $1.9 million in 2011 mainly due to a greater loss from subsidiaries. Please refer to the non-GAAP reconciliation table provided at the end of the release for a year-over-year comparison of non-cash adjustments.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, net cash used in operating activities totaled $6.0 million, with net cash used in investing activities of $3.0 million, offset by $11.5 million in net cash provided in financing activities.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $7.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. Stockholder equity was approximately $6.5 million and there were approximately 30.1 million common shares outstanding.
