“2008 was a significant year for social networking in France,” said Mike Read, SVP and Managing Director of comScore, Europe. “Not only was it a year that saw significant growth, but it was also a period in which Facebook took the category by storm after translating its interface into French early in the year. It will be interesting to see what happens in 2009 as Facebook and native social network, Skyrock, battle for the top position in the French market.”

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MIVA, Inc., (NASDAQ:MIVA), a digital media company, today announced the commencement of a restructuring program across its MIVA Media E.U. operations. The restructuring, which is due to be completed in Q4 2008, is expected to result in consolidation of the MIVA Media E.U. operations through the closure of several existing offices and a reduction in the company’s European workforce.

Under the restructuring, MIVA Media E.U. is expected to reach Adjusted EBITDA profitability in the fourth quarter of 2008. This follows Adjusted EBITDA losses in the E.U. of approximately $3.6 million in the first half of 2008, and GAAP net losses in the E.U. in the first half of 2008 of approximately $4.5 million1. It is expected that the restructuring expense will result in one-time charges in Q3 2008 of up to approximately $4 million.

“We believe that this restructuring will enable us to continue to serve our advertisers and publishers across Europe, but on a profitable basis,” commented Peter Corrao, President and Chief Executive Officer, MIVA, Inc. “We further believe that our U.S. and consolidated E.U. Media businesses should benefit from the new MIVA Media technology platform expected in the fourth quarter.”

The restructuring is subject to regulatory requirements in the individual European territories. MIVA, Inc. currently has European offices in the U.K., France, Germany and Spain.
