* Adjusted EBITDA1 of $7.6 million; Adjusted EBITDA1 margin of 11.9 percent;

ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
Internap Network Services Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP)today reported third quarter
2009 financial results. Improvements in segment profit1, adjusted EBITDA1, and
cash flow reflect the company`s actions to strengthen operations and focus on
profitable revenue opportunities. 

"We see early signs of progress as we delivered profitable growth with $7.6
million in adjusted EBITDA during the quarter," said Eric Cooney, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Internap. "Further, we have achieved several
important milestones in the turnaround of Internap`s business including: halting
two years of quarterly declining segment margins; allocating $22 million for
Seattle data center build-out; and filling key leadership positions in IP
Services, Engineering, and Marketing." 

Third quarter 2009 revenue was $64.4 million compared with $65.4 million in the
third quarter of 2008. Year-over-year growth in Data center services was more
than offset by lower IP services revenue. Sequentially, increased Data center
services revenue supported a slight improvement in total revenue. 

GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2009 was $(2.0) million, or $(0.04) per
diluted share compared with GAAP net loss of $(101.4) million or $(2.06) per
diluted share for the third quarter of 2008. Normalized net loss1 and normalized
net loss per diluted share1, which exclude the impact of impairments,
restructurings and stock-based compensation, was $(0.9) million, or $(0.02) per
diluted share in the third quarter of 2009. 

Segment profit1 totaled $27.9 million in the third quarter of 2009, a decrease
of 6.9 percent compared with the third quarter of 2008. Sequentially, segment
profit1 increased 0.4 percent. Total segment margin1 was 43.3 percent in the
third quarter of 2009, a decrease of 260 basis points compared with the third
quarter of 2008. The year-over-year decrease in total segment margin was
attributable to weakness in the IP services business. Total segment margin1
increased sequentially, for the first time in two years, by 10 basis points as
the benefits from both top-line growth and segment margin improvement in Data
center services outweighed the revenue decline in IP services. 

Third quarter 2009 adjusted EBITDA1 was $7.6 million, a decrease of $2.2 million
compared with the third quarter of 2008. Sequentially, adjusted EBITDA1
increased 12.8 percent. Adjusted EBITDA margin1 decreased 320 basis points
year-over-year to 11.9 percent. Compared with the second quarter of 2009,
adjusted EBITDA margin1 increased 140 basis points. Lower IP services segment
revenue impacted EBITDA margin1 compared with the prior year. Lower cash
operating costs and improved segment margin1 drove the improvement in adjusted
EBITDA1 relative to the second quarter of 2009. 

Internap`s balance of cash totaled $67.8 million at September 30, 2009 compared
with $46.9 million at December 31, 2008. Total debt, including capital lease
obligations, was $23.3 million at September 30, 2009, approximately flat with
the outstanding balance at December 31, 2008. Cash generated from operations
totaled $27.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Capital
expenditures over the same period were $12.9 million. 

Internap had 3,039 customers under contract as of September 30, 2009. Historical
trends of key financial and operational metrics can be found in a supplementary
data schedule on Internap`s Website at http://ir.internap.com/results.cfm. 

Three additions to the company`s senior management team were announced over the
past several months. Scott Hrastar was named senior vice president of IP
services and leads Internap`s business, engineering and product development
initiatives in IP services. Mr. Hrastar has more than 20 years of experience in
technical and management experience in the IP and networking industry including
entrepreneur-in-residence at the Georgia Institute of Technology`s Advanced
Technology Development Center and senior leadership positions Air Defense, Inc.,
Hitachi Telecom, and Scientific Atlanta, among others. 

Robert Minnear was also recently appointed vice president of engineering to
drive strategy and execution across the Internap engineering organization. Mr.
Minnear has held numerous development and leadership positions, including
overseeing the IP routing team at Ipsilon Networks, an early developer of tag
switching capabilities that were the precursor to MPLS routing. He also founded
Springbank Networks, a startup company focused on developing CDNs for ISPs,
which was later acquired by WAN application delivery provider Blue Coat Systems.


In August, Peter Evans joined Internap as senior vice president of marketing.
Prior to joining Internap, Mr. Evans served as Director of Technology and Market
Strategy for IBM`s Internet Security Systems Division, Chief Technology Office.
Mr. Evans was the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) at Internet Security Systems
(ISS) prior to it being acquired by IBM for $1.5 billion. His leadership -
turning ISS into a more market-driven organization - was a key part of the
company`s evolution and substantial growth. 

The company announced that it would expand its company-controlled data center
presence in Seattle, Washington - allocating $22 million of a $50 million data
center expansion plan announced in August. This expansion will add 15,000 net
sellable square feet of premium data center capacity to Internap`s current
footprint in Seattle and is expected to open during the third quarter of 2010.
The new footprint is designed in keeping with Internap`s premium data center
services value proposition which includes: N+1 redundancy, SAS-70 certification,
24/7 monitoring and enhanced carrier-neutral IP services.

INTERNAP NETWORK SERVICES CORPORATION
NON-GAAP (ADJUSTED) FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), Internap has
historically provided additional financial measures that are not prepared in
accordance with GAAP (non-GAAP), including adjusted EBITDA, normalized net
(loss) income, normalized diluted shares, segment profit and segment margin. The
most directly comparable GAAP equivalent to adjusted EBITDA and normalized net
(loss) income is net loss. The most directly comparable GAAP equivalent to
normalized diluted shares is diluted common shares outstanding. Segment profit
is defined and disclosed in the notes to our financial statements. 

We define non-GAAP measures as follows:

 ●      Adjusted EBITDA is loss from operations plus stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, loss on disposals of property and equipment, and impairments and restructuring.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
 ●      Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
 ●      Normalized net loss is net (loss) income plus stock-based compensation expense and impairments and restructuring.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
 ●      Normalized diluted shares are diluted shares of common stock outstanding used in GAAP net loss per share calculation, excluding the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation using the treasury stock method.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
 ●      Normalized net (loss) income per share is normalized net (loss) income divided by basic and normalized diluted shares.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
 ●      Segment profit is segment revenues less direct costs of network, sales and services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, as presented in the notes to our financial statements filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K. Segment profit does not include direct costs of customer support, direct costs of amortization of acquired technologies or any other depreciation or amortization associated with direct costs.  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
 ●      Segment margin is segment profit as a percentage of revenues.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              


Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly
comparable financial measure are detailed in the reconciliations of GAAP to
non-GAAP measures below. We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP
financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our
results of operations. 

We believe that excluding depreciation and amortization and loss on disposals of
property and equipment, as well as impairments and restructuring to calculate
adjusted EBITDA provides supplemental information and an alternative
presentation that is useful to investors` understanding of Internap`s core
operating results and trends. Not only are depreciation and amortization
expenses based on historical costs of assets that may have little bearing on
present or future replacement costs, but also they are based on management
estimates of remaining useful lives. Loss on disposals of property and equipment
is also based on historical costs of assets that may have little bearing on
replacement costs. Impairments and restructuring reflect our goodwill and other
intangible assets impairments recorded during the three months ended June 30,
2009 and September 30, 2008, the recent and significant deterioration in the
real estate market which caused us to increase our restructuring liability for
the three months ended June 30, 2009, and our reduction in workforce during the
three months ended March 31, 2009. Internap believes that these impairment and
restructuring charges were unique costs that we do not expect to recur on a
regular basis, and consequently, we do not consider these charges as a normal
component of expenses related to current and ongoing operations. 

INTERNAP NETWORK SERVICES CORPORATION
NON-GAAP (ADJUSTED) FINANCIAL MEASURES (Continued)

Similarly, we believe that excluding the effects of stock-based compensation
from non-GAAP financial measures provides supplemental information and an
alternative presentation useful to investors` understanding of Internap`s core
operating results and trends. Investors have indicated that they consider
financial measures of our results of operations excluding stock-based
compensation expense as important supplemental information useful to their
understanding of our historical results and estimating our future results. 

We also believe that, in excluding the effects of stock-based compensation, our
non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with transparency into what
management uses to measure and forecast our results of operations, to compare on
a consistent basis our results of operations for the current period to that of
prior periods, to compare our results of operations on a more consistent basis
against that of other companies, in making financial and operating decisions and
to establish certain management compensation. 

Stock-based compensation is an important part of total compensation, especially
from the perspective of employees. We believe, however, that supplementing GAAP
net loss and net loss per share information by providing normalized net (loss)
income and normalized net (loss) income per share, excluding the effect of
impairments and restructuring and stock-based compensation expense in all
periods, is useful to investors because it enables additional and more
meaningful period-to-period comparisons. We consider normalized diluted shares
to be another important indicator of our overall performance because it
eliminates the effect of non-cash items. 

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity calculated in accordance with
GAAP, and should be viewed as a supplement to - not a substitute for - our
results of operations presented on the basis of GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA does not
purport to represent cash flow provided by, or used in, operating activities as
defined by GAAP. Our statement of cash flows presents our cash flow activity in
accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable
to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. 

We believe adjusted EBITDA is used by and is useful to investors and other users
of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it
provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across
companies and across periods. We believe that:

 ●      EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company`s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company-to-company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired; and  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
 ●      investors commonly adjust EBITDA information to eliminate the effect of disposals of property and equipment, impairments, restructuring and stock-based compensation expense, which vary widely from company-to-company and impair comparability.

INTERNAP NETWORK SERVICES CORPORATION
NON-GAAP (ADJUSTED) FINANCIAL MEASURES (Continued)

Our presentation of segment profit and segment margin excludes direct costs of
customer support, depreciation and amortization in order to allow investors to
see the business through the eyes of management. Direct costs of network, sales
and services is viewed by management as generally non-controllable, external
costs and the margin of revenues in excess of these direct costs is regularly
monitored by management. Similarly, we view the costs of customer support to
also be an important component of costs of revenues but believe that the costs
of customer support to be within our control and to some degree discretionary as
we can adjust those costs by hiring and terminating employees. 

Segment margin is an important metric to our investors and analysts, as we have
regularly discussed and disclosed the effects of third party vendors` pricing
declines and the corresponding effect on our revenues. The presentation of
segment margin highlights the impact of the pricing declines and allows
investors and analysts to evaluate our revenue generation performance relative
to direct costs of network, sales and services. Conversely, we have much greater
latitude in controlling the compensation component of costs of revenues,
represented by customer support, and we analyze this component separately from
the direct external costs. 

Depreciation and amortization have also been excluded from segment profit and
segment margin because, as noted above, they are based on estimated useful lives
of tangible and intangible assets. Further, depreciation and amortization are
based on historical costs incurred to build out our deployed network and the
historical costs of these assets may not be indicative of current or future
capital expenditures. 

Although we believe, for the foregoing reasons, that our presentation of
non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to
investors regarding our results of operations, our non-GAAP financial measures
should only be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or
superior to, any measure of financial performance prepared in accordance with
GAAP. 

Use of non-GAAP financial measures is subject to inherent limitations because
they do not include all the expenses that must be included under GAAP and
because they involve the exercise of judgment of which charges should properly
be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure. Management accounts for these
limitations by not relying exclusively on non-GAAP financial measures, but only
using such information to supplement GAAP financial measures. Our non-GAAP
financial measures may not be the same non-GAAP measures, and may not be
calculated in the same manner, as those used by other companies.
