Business Wire, April 9, 2008

OMAHA, Neb. -- infoUSA (NASDAQ: IUSA), the leading provider of proprietary business and consumer databases, sales leads, direct marketing, and email marketing, today reported preliminary unaudited selected financial and operating data for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008.

These financial results and operating data are preliminary. As previously announced, effective December 24, 2007, the Board of Directors of infoUSA formed a Special Litigation Committee in response to the consolidated complaint In re infoUSA, Inc. Shareholders Litigation, Consol. Civil Action No. 1956-CC (Del. Ch.), and a related informal investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In light of the ongoing investigation, infoUSA was unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the "2007 Form 10-K") by the SEC's filing deadline. The Company intends to file its 2007 Form 10-K as soon as practicable after the completion of the Special Litigation Committee's review. The Company currently expects that it also will not be able to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 by the SEC filing deadline.

Financial Highlights and Operating Data

[TABLE OMITTED]

(a) Includes $2.9 million in legal expenses related to the Shareholder Lawsuit and related investigation.

All results and operating data reported today are presented without taking into account any adjustments to either current or previously reported results that may be required in connection with the pending Special Litigation Committee review and should be considered preliminary until the Company files its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

Based on 2008 first quarter results we estimate revenue for 2008 to be in the range of $750 million to $760 million and EBITDA to be in the range of $120 million to $130 million.

Non-GAAP Information

In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, infoUSA also discloses earnings before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to management and investors because management uses this information internally for evaluating the aggregate performance of the Company's operating businesses. In addition, EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical indicator within infoUSA's industry and is a component of the Company's financial covenant calculations under its credit facilities, subject to certain adjustments. All companies do not calculate EBITDA in the same manner and infoUSA's presentation may not be comparable to those presented by other companies.

EBITDA should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or other data prepared in accordance with GAAP as measures of infoUSA's profitability or liquidity.

Earnings Conference Call

In light of the delay in filing the Company's 2007 Form 10-K, management will not host a conference call this quarter.
