      u.a. Eigner des FTD-Blumenversands und von classmates.com; hat gestern H!-Zahlen gemeldet:


      * Total Revenues of $242.7 Million, Operating Income of $29.8 Million and Adjusted OIBDA of $52.7 Million in Q2 2010
      * Debt Repayments of $29.7 Million in Q2 2010, Including $14.7 Million to Retire United Online $60 Million Credit Facility Two Years Ahead of Scheduled Maturity
      * Introduced High School Yearbooks Initiative on Classmates.com, the First Phase of a Planned Site Relaunch That Will Feature a Wide Range of Nostalgic Third-Party Content

      United Online, Inc. (Nasdaq: UNTD), a leading provider of consumer products and services over the Internet, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2010.

      "Our operating discipline enabled United Online to achieve second quarter operating income and adjusted OIBDA results that were above our guidance range, despite revenues that slightly trailed our guidance range for the quarter," commented Mark R. Goldston, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of United Online. "Highlights in our FTD segment include a 13% year-over-year increase in U.S. consumer orders during the 14 days leading up to Mother's Day and an impressive 27% year-over-year increase in consumer orders fulfilled by our domestic network of FTD florists during the quarter. Our commitment to aggressively promote the florist-designed arrangements among our product offerings underscores our continuing efforts to support FTD florists and further increase the value of membership in the FTD network."

      "As expected, year-over-year financial comparisons in our Classmates Media segment remained challenging in the quarter due to the decrease in post-transaction marketing revenues and the impact on revenues resulting from promotions offering discounted pricing for an introductory term," Goldston added. "During the quarter we launched a compelling new feature on Classmates.com that enables paying subscribers to enjoy unlimited viewing of high school yearbooks available on the Web site. The launch of digitized high school yearbooks is the first step in our planned transition of the business from a social networking company into a premier nostalgia content company on the Internet. We expect the current features of Classmates.com to continue to exist within the new nostalgia Web site as we seek to broaden and deepen the amount of third-party content we offer to our members based upon a specific decade, year and content category of their choice."

      United Online's FTD Subsidiary Refinances Senior Secured Credit Facilities
      WOODLAND HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- United Online, Inc. (Nasdaq: UNTD), a leading provider of consumer products and services over the Internet, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, FTD Group, Inc. ("FTD"), has entered into a new credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with various lenders, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as sole lead arranger and sole book runner, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent for the lenders, to refinance its senior secured credit facilities. The Credit Agreement provides FTD with a $315 million senior secured credit facility consisting of (i) a $265 million seven-year term loan facility (the "Term Facility") and (ii) a $50 million five-year revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and together with the Term Facility, the "Credit Facilities"), and certain other financial accommodations including letters of credit.

      The interest rates on both the Term Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility are either a base rate plus 2.5% per annum, or LIBOR plus 3.5% per annum (with a LIBOR floor of 1.25% in the case of the Term Facility). No loans were borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility as of the closing of the Credit Facilities. The annualized reduction in cash interest expense resulting from the refinancing will be approximately $4.6 million, based on current benchmark rates.

      "The new Credit Facilities significantly reduce FTD's overall cost of debt and extend the maturity of the Term Facility to 2018 and the Revolving Credit Facility to 2016," said Mark R. Goldston, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of United Online. "In addition, the new Credit Agreement increases our financial flexibility in a number of ways, including lower mandatory payments and provisions for up to an additional $100 million in financing, subject to obtaining commitments and satisfaction of certain conditions."

      United Online and Clearwire Announce Agreement to Power NetZero 4G High-Speed Mobile Broadband Service Via Clearwire 4G Network

      Clearwire Adds Eighth Wholesale Partner; Continues to Grow Wholesale Business


      WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. and BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov. 2, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United Online, Inc. (Nasdaq: UNTD), a leading provider of consumer products and services over the Internet, and Clearwire (Nasdaq: CLWR), a leading provider of 4G wireless broadband services in the U.S., today announced a new, five-year wholesale agreement that will make 4G high-speed mobile broadband service available under the NetZero® brand name via the Clearwire 4G mobile broadband network in 2012.

      "NetZero has been delivering high quality, free and value-priced Internet access since 1998, and we believe this deal with Clearwire will give us the ability for the first time to bring affordably-priced, 4G high-speed mobile broadband service with 6 mbps to 10 mbps speed to the masses," said Mark R. Goldston, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of United Online. "In 1998, NetZero pioneered free dial-up access, helping millions of new Internet users get online. In 2001, we created the value-priced dial-up category offering high quality Internet access at the highly-affordable price of just $9.95 per month. In 2003, NetZero helped pioneer the accelerated dial-up market with the launch of NetZero Hi-Speed, which was the fastest dial-up service offered at that time. We believe the new NetZero 4G high-speed mobile broadband service is the natural progression for the NetZero brand, which has always stood for bringing the highest quality, most affordable Internet access to consumers in the U.S. Having revolutionized the dial-up market more than a decade ago, our goal is to bring the same level of innovation and competitive advantage to the 4G high-speed mobile broadband market beginning in early 2012."

      Consumers will be able to access the service by purchasing either a NetZero USB modem to connect a single device such as a PC or a Mac, or purchasing a NetZero personal hotspot that can connect up to 8 Wi-Fi enabled devices simultaneously. That means that both NetZero USB modem and NetZero hotspot customers can connect to the NetZero 4G high-speed service over the Clearwire mobile broadband network coverage area using a PC, Mac, iPad, other tablets, netbooks, and smartphones. The NetZero 4G high-speed mobile broadband service will provide a very fast, highly affordable Internet connection that can be used in the home, at the office or on the go by residential, corporate and professional customers across the U.S. within the Clearwire 4G network coverage area.

      "NetZero is well known for extending the availability of Internet services to new customer segments and we are pleased to help them expand their product lineup into the mobile broadband market," said Don Stroberg, Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships & Wholesale at Clearwire. "The Clearwire 4G mobile broadband network offers benefits to numerous businesses in a range of industries. Soon, NetZero customers will have the freedom to connect with the people, information and services that matter most while on the go anywhere within the Clearwire 4G network coverage area."

      NetZero 4G Experience

      The NetZero 4G customer experience using Clearwire's 4G high-speed mobile broadband network will be similar to Wi-Fi but without the short-range limitations that are typical of most Wi-Fi networks. Clearwire's network uses a wireless 4G technology that differs from Wi-Fi because it provides service areas measured in miles, versus Wi-Fi which is measured in feet. Clearwire's network offers average mobile download speeds of up to 6 mbps, with bursts of over 10 mbps*, that will be available across a broad range of computer, tablet, and smartphone devices to those who use the NetZero 4G high-speed mobile broadband service. Clearwire's 4G network is currently available in more than 70 cities across the U.S. including 35 of the top 40 markets covering areas where approximately 130 million people live.

      NetZero launched in 1998 as the first provider of free Internet access and became a well-known brand through its memorable "Defenders of the Free World" ad campaign and popular promotions like the NBA on NBC's "NetZero At The Half" show. The Communications division of United Online currently offers free and value-priced dial-up Internet access, as well as DSL broadband service, nationwide through both the NetZero® and Juno® brands.

      WOODLAND HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NetZero Wireless, Inc., a subsidiary of United Online, Inc. (NASDAQ: UNTD), today announced the launch of NetZero 4G Mobile Broadband, a fast, affordable and protected Internet service for laptops, iPads® and other tablets, and netbooks.

      This new service, which launches today in over 80 cities nationwide, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and Miami, lets consumers create their own personal Internet connections without being tied to unsecure public hotspots at places like coffee shops, airports and hotels. And unlike public Wi-Fi networks, where credit card numbers and other personal information may be exposed to hackers and data thieves, the NetZero 4G Mobile Broadband service delivers a protected, private Internet connection anytime, anywhere within its coverage area.

      NetZero 4G Mobile Broadband data plans start at just $9.95 per month. Customers are not required to sign a contract, and can upgrade their data plan at any time. Each plan delivers 4G service with download speeds of up to 10Mbps and upload speeds of up to 1.5Mbps.

      "NetZero is bridging the digital divide by letting consumers purchase a secure, quality, mobile broadband service at very affordable prices with plans designed to meet the consumers' data needs," said Mark R. Goldston, chairman, president and CEO of United Online. "Our service gives customers the freedom to take the Internet anywhere in our coverage area, without being tied to public Wi-Fi service or having to purchase higher-cost, sometimes multi-year plans offered by other mobile broadband providers. With NetZero 4G Mobile Broadband, there are no contracts or commitments, and our customers can even try our service for up to one year for free."

      All data plans, including the free plan, require the purchase of one of two affordable access devices: the NetZero 4G HotSpot™ and the NetZero 4G Stick™. The NetZero 4G HotSpot simultaneously supports up to eight Wi-Fi-enabled devices, including iPads® and other tablets, within a 150-foot range. The NetZero 4G Stick supports a single laptop or netbook via a USB port. The NetZero 4G HotSpot costs $99.95 and the NetZero 4G Stick costs $49.95, much less than the cost of most comparable contract-free devices available today.

      NetZero 4G Mobile Broadband includes an innovative feature that lets customers switch the speed of their service to meet their data needs. NetZero 4G Mobile Broadband subscribers can set their service at either LightSpeed, which delivers download speeds of up to 1Mbps, or WarpSpeed, which provides download speeds of up to 10Mbps. Customers in any of the service plans can toggle their speed setting to LightSpeed (to conserve data) or WarpSpeed (to maximize speed) at any time, allowing them to match the speed of their service to their current activity and maximize their data consumption.

      With NetZero 4G Mobile Broadband, there are no overage charges. Customers cannot accidently exceed monthly data allotments. An alert lets customers know when they reach their monthly data limit, at which point, they have three options. Option One: If customers are on a pay plan, they can buy extra data "Top Ups" that they can use through the end of their current billing cycle. Option Two: Customers can upgrade to a higher capacity data plan. Option Three: Customers can wait until the next month to utilize the service with a fresh allotment of data according to their existing plan.

      For more information on NetZero 4G Mobile Broadband or to purchase the service, consumers can go to www.NetZero.com or call 1-800-NETZERO.

      United Online Reports Second Quarter 2012 Results

      WOODLAND HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- United Online, Inc. (Nasdaq: UNTD), a leading provider of consumer products and services over the Internet, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

      "Today, United Online announced that its Board of Directors has approved a preliminary plan to separate United Online into two independent, publicly-traded companies," said Mark R. Goldston, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of United Online. "As part of the separation, FTD will become a separate, publicly-traded company, which will include the domestic and international operations of our FTD segment. The other public company will be United Online, which will continue to operate the businesses of our Content & Media and Communications segments. The proposed spin-off of FTD is expected to take the form of a tax-free pro rata distribution to United Online stockholders. In addition, the company announced that it also is reviewing strategic alternatives for its Content & Media and Communications businesses, including the potential spin-off of the Content & Media segment as an additional, separate publicly-traded company. We expect the separation not only will unlock value for the benefit of our stockholders, but also will provide significant operational and strategic flexibility for these businesses, better position them to capitalize on their well-recognized brands, and enhance long-term stockholder value."

      "Looking at our results for the quarter, consolidated adjusted OIBDA exceeded the high end of our guidance range for the quarter, and consolidated revenues were near the mid-point of our guidance range," stated Goldston. "During the quarter, the FTD segment achieved its sixth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in revenues and adjusted OIBDA, after adjusting for the impact of the timing of the 2011 U.K. Mother's Day."
