CHANTILLY, VA – August 9, 2012 Intersections Inc.

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $178.2 million, as compared to $184.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  Consolidated adjusted EBITDA before share related compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $32.7 million compared to $27.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $12.4 million, compared to $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Cash flow provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $24.7 million.  Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.33 for the second quarter of 2012 from $0.28 for the second quarter of 2011.  This represents our second consecutive quarter of record diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.33.  Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.66 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, from $0.51 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
 
On August 8, 2012, Intersections’ Board declared our 9th consecutive quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share on our common stock.  The dividend will be paid on September 10, 2012 to stockholders of record as of August 31, 2012.
 
Michael Stanfield, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Intersections commented, “We are pleased with our second quarter results, which produced positive cash flow and growth in net income, despite a drop in revenue as our financial institution clients react to a challenging regulatory and economic environment.  We continue to believe that our products are highly valued by consumers, and provide an opportunity for financial institutions and other companies to offer valuable services to their customers.  Due to the continuing reduction in new subscriber sales as our financial institution clients adjust to the current environment, we expect our adjusted EBITDA before share related compensation to be lower in 2013 versus 2012.  However, we believe adjusted EBITDA before share related compensation for 2012 will be within our previous guidance of $55-58 million.”
