Mood Media Announces Progress in its Visuals Strategy and Update on Acquisition Integrations

TORONTO, Nov. 26, 2012 /CNW/ - Mood Media Corporation (ISIN: CA61534J1057) (TSX:MM / LSE AIM:MM), one of the world's largest integrated providers of in-store customer solutions,  has seen sustained growth in its visual customer base, is introducing new and innovative services to a growing list of premier brands and as announced with our third quarter 2012 report, has released key performance indicators that illustrate its positive business momentum.

The Company announces that its ongoing investment program, designed to build best-in-class visuals solutions, took another step forward with the completion of its state-of-the-art visual lab in Charlotte, N.C. Part showroom and part laboratory, the space provides a cutting-edge forum for Mood Media's visual team to create new digital signage concepts for a growing base of clients across the world.  In order to capitalize on the significant visuals opportunity, the Company also has accelerated its visuals investment program, the costs of which are likely to have a modest impact during Q4 2012 and into early 2013. The Company wishes to reiterate its belief that the visual and social media business is a very compelling opportunity that it is uniquely positioned to capitalize on.

In addition, the Company wishes to provide an update on its plans to realize significant cost savings as it integrates recent acquisitions. As mentioned in our third quarter earnings conference call, the pace of realizing those synergies will accelerate throughout 2013 with full realization expected in mid-2013. Management remains highly confident that it will be able to achieve the magnitude of synergies originally expected at the time the acquisitions were made. To that effect, it has largely completed the organization of internal resources to deliver its targets. The Company is also finalizing incremental initiatives that could produce further sustained efficiency gains.

Mood Media also stated that it is continuing to assess the impact of Hurricane Sandy, which hit the United States in late October 2012, causing widespread damage across 24 states including the entire eastern seaboard. Damage in New York and New Jersey, where Mood Media has significant customer installations, was particularly severe and has affected its logistics operations. While the impact of Hurricane Sandy is not capable of being fully quantified yet, management does not currently believe that the impact will be material.

For 2013 and beyond, Management remains strongly of the view that Mood Media's strategy of delivering new and innovative services will create compelling customer connections for its clients and will produce sustained improvements in its operating and financial results.
