Business Description

SuperMedia Inc. was formerly known as Idearc Inc. On January 4, 2010, it changed its corporate name from Idearc Inc. to SuperMedia Inc. It is a yellow pages directory publisher in the United States. The Company also offers digital advertising solutions. The Company places its clients' business information into its portfolio of local media solutions, which includes the Superpages directories, Superpages.com, its digital local search resource on both desktop and mobile devices, the Superpages.com network, a digital syndication network that places local business information across more than 250 websites, mobile sites and mobile applications, and its Superpages direct mailers. In addition, The Company offers solutions for social media, digital content creation and management, reputation management and search engine optimization. The Company became an independent public company in November 2006, when Verizon Communications Inc. ("Verizon") completed the spin-off of its shares to Verizon's stockholders. Together with its predecessor companies, The Company has more than 125 years of experience in the directory business. The Company primarily operates in the markets in which Verizon or its formerly owned properties now owned by FairPoint Communications, Inc. ("FairPoint") and Frontier Communications Corporation ("Frontier") are the incumbent local exchange carriers. The Company has a geographically diversified revenue base covering markets in 32 states for Superpages directories and Superpages direct mailers and in all 50 states for Superpages.com and its other digital solutions. In 2011, the Company published more than 1,000 distinct directory titles and distributed about 89 million copies of these directories to businesses and residences in the United States. Its direct sales and marketing approach for its media solutions requires maintaining existing clients and developing new client relationships. Existing clients comprise its core advertiser base and a large number of these clients have advertised with it for many years. The Company generates revenue from the sale of advertising to its large base of clients. As of December 31, 2011, The Company had approximately 393,000 local clients. The Company generally publishes its directories on a 12-month cycle. The publishing cycles for its directories are staggered throughout the year, allowing it to more efficiently use its infrastructure and sales capabilities, as well as the resources of the company's third-party vendors. The advertising industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with many different local media sources, including newspapers, radio, television, the Internet, billboards, direct mail, telemarketing and other yellow pages directory publishers. There are a number of independent directory publishers, such as Yellowbook (the United States business of Yell Group), with which the Company compete in the majority of its major markets.
