GAIAM REPORTS 2012 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

- Expanded Media Licenses

Now Include Hallmark Channel and The Jim Henson Company -

- Revenue in Nine Months Rises 23.5% with Internal Growth of 13% -

- Cash Flow From Operations Improves $19.8 Million -

BOULDER, CO, November 5, 2012 — Gaiam, Inc. (NASDAQ: GAIA), a lifestyle media company, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012. Excluding Real Goods Solar, Inc., deconsolidated from the Company on December 31, 2011, third quarter 2012 net revenue rose 3.0% to $43.0 million, compared to net revenue of $41.8 million in the prior-year period. Revenue for the business segment increased $7.5 million, or 38.6%, to $27.1 million, and excluding the revenue benefit from the acquisition of Vivendi Entertainment, internal revenue growth for the business segment was 15.2%. The revenue for the direct to consumer segment was $15.9 million, compared to $22.2 million for the prior year quarter. The decrease in direct to consumer sales primarily reflects the Company’s previously discussed strategy of reducing media spend and optimizing profitability in its DRTV business during a period in which the Olympic Games and political campaign advertising have the effect of significantly increasing costs. For the first nine months of fiscal 2012, net revenue rose approximately $25.9 million, or 23.5%, with an internal revenue growth of $14.2 million, or 13.0%, compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2011.

Gaiam will be hosting a conference call today, November 5, 2012, beginning at 2:30 p.m. MT (4:30 p.m. ET). The conference call dial-in numbers are 212/231-2900 or 415/226-5355. Questions and answers will be reserved for analysts and investors.

Lynn Powers, CEO of Gaiam, commented, “We are particularly pleased to see continued growth in our media business, as its expanded scale, expertise and operating efficiencies are proving integral to our efforts to provide exceptional service to existing studio partner customers and in attracting new, high-profile content, including our recent agreements with the Hallmark Channel and The Jim Henson Company. Gaiam has emerged as the industry’s leading independent content distributor and we expect to continue our momentum with this business. In addition, we are pleased to see the continued evolution of our Gaiam-branded products, including our Gaiam Restore line of wellness accessories, across existing and new retail outlets.”

On December 31, 2011, Gaiam converted its RSOL Class B common stock to Class A common stock that changed the GAAP accounting treatment for its approximate 38% ownership in RSOL from a consolidated basis to an equity method (“deconsolidated”). As a result, for 2012 Gaiam’s interest in RSOL’s net results are reflected as a single line in Gaiam’s financial statements, whereas for 2011 RSOL’s financial position and results of operations are consolidated into each line of Gaiam’s financial statements. The year-over-year financial comparisons below are stated as if RSOL had been deconsolidated as of January 1, 2011.

Third quarter 2012 gross profit was $24.1 million, or 56.0% of net revenue, compared to $24.1 million, or 57.6% of net revenue, during the comparable quarter last year. The decrease in gross margin primarily reflects reduced net revenues in the typically higher margin direct response television marketing business, partially offset by the 100% margin (net fee revenue) of the Gaiam Vivendi Entertainment business.

Operating expenses improved 360 basis points to 56.4% of net revenue, or $24.2 million, in the third quarter of 2012, compared to 60.0% of net revenue, or $25.1 million, in the prior-year period. Included in operating expenses in the 2012 third quarter is $1.0 million in non-cash amortization expense related to the Gaiam Vivendi Entertainment acquisition with no such similar expense in the prior year period.

Operating loss was $0.2 million compared to a loss of $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2012 from $0.5 million in the prior-year period and rose by $8.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $5.3 million from a loss in the same period in 2011.

Because of RSOL’s third quarter loss, including its non cash impairment charges for some its assets, primarily goodwill and deferred taxes, Gaiam’s recognition of its portion of RSOL’s loss, $14.3 million, reduced the GAAP carrying values of Gaiam’s investments in RSOL to zero. Gaiam will not recognize any future losses from RSOL.

Excluding the non-cash equity investment loss of $15.9 million from RSOL and a related tax benefit of $5.1 million, Gaiam reported a net loss for the quarter of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $0.9 million, or $0.04 per share, in the same quarter last year. Including the loss from Gaiam’s equity investment in RSOL, Gaiam reported a net loss of $11.2 million, or $0.49 per share, for the third quarter of 2012. (See Non-GAAP Financial Measurements.)

The table below summarizes the Company’s 2012 third quarter results, 2011 pro forma third quarter results (as if RSOL was deconsolidated) and 2011 third quarter historical results:

Revenue for the first nine months of 2012 increased $25.9 million, or 23.5%, to $135.8 million. Internal net revenue growth was $14.2 million or 13.0%. Gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased to 58.3% of net revenue, compared to 56.5% in the comparable year-ago period. Operating loss declined $4.5 million, or 56.7%, to $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from an operating loss of $7.9 million for the same period last year.

Cash flow provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 improved by $19.8 million to $19.4 million from a use of $0.4 million for the same period of last year. Also during the 2012 third quarter, Gaiam secured a new three year, $35 million asset-based credit facility from PNC Bank, N.A., which expires in July 2015. The credit facility currently carries an average rate of 3.64%. At September 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding borrowings against the credit facility of $20.9 million and cash of $19.1 million on its balance sheet.

Jirka Rysavy, Chairman of Gaiam, added, “Double digit internal revenue growth and a $20 million improvement in our operating cash flow during the first nine months are a good basis for entering into our seasonally strongest quarter.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures For Earnings Before Share-Based Compensation, Acquisition-Related Costs, Interest, Loss From Equity Method Investment, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)

The Company has utilized the non-GAAP information set forth below as an additional device to aid in understanding and analyzing its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures will allow for a better evaluation of the operating performance of the business and facilitate meaningful comparison of the results in the current period to those in the prior period and future periods. Reference to these non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for results that are presented in a manner consistent with GAAP.

A reconciliation of the GAAP net loss to the non-GAAP earnings before share-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, interest, loss from equity method investment, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is set forth below (unaudited, in millions):
